Hail the King - Chapter 1272

Chapter 1272: Finale 

The countless golden light beams dashed out of Golden Lion Lampard’s fist, and naked eyes couldn’t even tell the light beams apart.

As Lampard’s fist slowly moved forward, the endless golden light beams penetrated the void and engulfed [No.1].

Only those who were on Fei’s level could tell that each light beam contained unrivaled power.

Lampard’s punching speed reached the speed of light! Ordinary people couldn’t even see his fist!

[No.1] that was dashing forward got instantly entangled by the golden light. Masses of black mist flowed around him, and many light dots surrounded him before scattering as if they ran into an invisible shield.

[No.1]’s two swords danced around him like crazy, transforming into a sphere of black light.

As if he was a snail that fell into a swamp, [No.1] couldn’t move forward at all. Instead, the dense golden light beams were slowly pushing him back!

This was the most direct duel of strength.

In the next moment, Golden Lion Lampard roared and turned into a streak of light, flying toward [No.1].

…

“Gigantic Long Horn!” Drogba slightly bent his body, and the image of a mystical giant golden bull suddenly appeared behind him. It felt like the bull was cast from pure gold, and every part of its body was full of explosive power. The golden bull slightly lowered its head, and the pair of giant horns that seemed like the sickles of the Grim Reaper flashed with golden light. Then, with the four legs exerting force, this bull charged forward destructively.

Drogba’s opponent was [No.2].

In the next instant, these two figures smashed into each other.

…

“Saint Sword Excalibur!” White-haired Pierced stood tall with his elbows slightly bent, and an invisible sword slowly appeared and wrapped around his arms and legs, emitting a sharp and lethal presence. After casting his technique and pausing for a second, Pierce directly struck forward.

…

“Aurora Ice Coffin!”

“Aurora Execution!”

…

“Royal Devil Rose!”

“Man-Eating Rose!”

“Vampire Rose!”

…

“Crystal Wall!”

“Seal of the Will!”

“Starlight Extermination!”

…

“Another Dimension!”

“Milky Way Explosion!”

“Golden Triangular Dimension!”

…

“Heavenly Demon’s Treasure Wheel – Chimimōryō!”

[TL Note: Chimimōryō is a term, originated from China dating roughly 2,500 years in ancient chronicles, referring to monsters of the mountains and monsters of the rivers.]

“First Sense – Deprived!”

“Second Sense – Deprived!”

The battles between the most powerful warriors occurred at this moment!

Different from the battle method of ordinary masters, the gold saints that Fei created had ultimate techniques of their constellations. They had powerful offensive abilities and tough star saint sets for defense. By also linking with their constellations, the gold saints’ energies were endless, and they weren’t inferior compared to the black-armor warriors that were created from the ultimate evil energy.

Fei didn’t know if the saying that no technique could be used on the gold saints twice still held true on these gold saints, but he was confident in the abilities of these warriors that he nurtured.

At this critical moment, everyone wanted to end their battles as soon as they could.

Therefore, the gold saints instantly used their most powerful ultimate techniques.

With the existence of these ultimate techniques, these gold saints held the advantage when fighting with the black-armor warriors.

…

“I’m surprised that you could nurture such powerful warriors!” Gao Shang couldn’t help but comment. The power of the gold saints was beyond his estimates.

“This is fate. Long ago, the world had prepared the counter for the evil forces. Even the stars in the universe favor my gold saints. This battle is about to end.” With golden flames burning around him, Fei recovered to his prime.

“Hahaha! The world prepared the counter? No! It is a part of the plan that hypocrite Gao De prepared,” Gao Shang laughed, making his body shiver. Then, he added, “After he died and merged with the universe, his power mark and will also became a part of the universe. That is why your warriors could obtain the inheritance of the stars. Gold saints… do you think that I don’t know? They are only in the anime for kids. Without that hypocrite’s power mark and will, you think that you can nurture these warriors? Ridiculous!”

Fei shook his head and said, “Regardless of everything, this battle is in our fate. Gao De His Holiness didn’t want to devour others to achieve immortality, so he disintegrated his body, soul, and power to protect the universe. There is always a push and a pull, and it is set in fate. Your path isn’t permitted by this world, so it is destined to disappear!”

“My path is only reliant on me and not this world! Since I want immortality, this world needs to center around me. Every creature needs to shiver and submit to me,” Gao Shang laughed loudly.

Fei sighed and said, “Since this is the case, then let me end your ambition!”

“You?” Gao Shang laughed and replied, “Your strength can rival me, but you are nowhere close to killing me. Unless you become the God of Creation; a peak supreme god can’t do anything. Besides…” Gao Shang paused for a second and laughed again, “Besides, you saw that one of my godly demon warriors isn’t here. Guess where he is?”

This last black-armor warrior was Gao Shang’s real hidden card.

Unexpected for Gao Shang, Fei smiled and replied, “Since you know that anime on Earth for children, you should realize that there are 12 gold saints!”

Upon hearing this, Gao Shang’s face changed color.

In the next moment, a crack appeared in the void close to the battleground in space. Through this crack, the Azeroth Continent could be seen. A black figure dashed through the crack like a streak of smoke, and this figure got to Gao Shang and knelt on both knees while shivering.

“Lord… I… failed!”

The black figure’s voice sounded bitter as he knelt on the ground.

This figure was wearing a black cloak that covered his body, but it was ripped at many places. It was clear that an intense battle left these marks, and others could tell that the body hidden in the black cloak wasn’t made of flesh but pure bones. This figure had no flesh on him! He was only a skeleton!

“Fai… failed?” Gao Shang’s voice suddenly trembled at this moment.

As if his high expectation fell short, Gao Shang’s body even started to shake with his voice.

The black figure knelt before Gao Shang on all fours, and he didn’t dare to say anything more.

Fei slightly frowned; he was quite familiar with this presence.

“This black figure… is the skeleton that came alive?” Fei thought to himself.

It was the skeleton that was nailed to the ground beside the Mythical Altar by the broken Scepter of Creation inside the belly of the central godly mountain in Sky City.

When Fei first entered Sky City and found the Mythical Altar, he wanted to purify the Worldstone and rescue Angela and Elena who had both fainted. He didn’t know about the terrifying abilities of Sky City and the origin of the Mythical Altar. After Fei removed the half of the Scepter of Creation that nailed this skeleton to the ground, he soon found that the skeleton which should have died many years ago disappeared.

Then, this skeleton secretly fought with Fei many times, but this cunning figure escaped every time after being defeated.

In fact, this skeleton even supported the new Emperor of Anji and secretly controlled the Undead Creature Catastrophe inside the territory of the former Anji Empire.

This skeleton was indeed another spy that was placed on the Azeroth Continent besides Dicanio. However, this skeleton’s status was higher than that of Dicanio; he had a human body. Even though there was no flesh, the human skeleton meant that he had followed Gao Shang longer than Dicanio.

From the information that Fei learned, Gao Shang wasn’t a bug but a human. In the ancient time, he had a major disagreement in paths of cultivation with Gao De, the God of Creation. He chose to degenerate, merge with the genetics of bugs, and become the [Mother Empress] of the bugs.

Perhaps this skeleton had followed Gao Shang before he became a bug.

“Zhang Hui, how long have you been with me?” Gao Shang’s voice gradually calmed down.

“Ever since my lord returned from Earth for the last time after signing the covenant with Gao De His… Holiness, I’ve been following you,” the skeleton replied respectfully.

“Yeah, tens of thousands of years had passed. When I broke away from him, you are the only person who truly followed me among all those on my side. You aren’t envious of my power, and you didn’t do it to get stronger. I haven’t forgotten you all these years!” Gao Shang’s voice showed traces of emotions.

“My lord, you gave me a second life. You also protected my family. I’m always your most loyal dog.” The skeleton’s voice trembled a little, and he said in pain, “I thought I would succeed since the elites of the Azeroth Continent all came here. When I received your order, I merged with those few who escaped from the giant sealed eggs and went to the Northern Region. At that moment, a godly power descended from the sky, and everything was within the plan. [Daughter of Fate]’s soul and power did get completed, but Human Emperor Alexander left a hidden card behind. I met Gold Saint Oleg of Cancer, one of the 12 gold saints, Undead Supreme God Hazel Bank of the Dark Palace, and Ancient Undead Dragon Arthur. They are all kryptonite to my power. I battled to the death but couldn’t win. I’m now only a broken soul, and I’m here to see you. I failed the mission and deserve to die. Lord, please punish me.” In the end, Zhang Hui’s body shivered.

Many red flames dropped out of his eye sockets, appearing like blood tears. It was evident that he was greatly disappointed in himself.

Standing on the side, Fei also got a little emotional.

This skeleton named Zhang Hui had a story of his own. He was loyal; he was working for Gao Shang even when he became a skeleton.

Perhaps he found Sky City and wanted to take those saint items for Gao Shang, but the Scepter of Creation suddenly attacked and nailed him to the ground beside the altar.

Since Zhang Hui followed Gao Shang beginning from the ancient time, his strength couldn’t be ignored. When fighting back, he broke the Scepter of Creation that was ownerless into two. However, he was still nailed to the ground, and he was tortured beside the Mythical Altar day and night, resulting in the great reduction of his strength. That was why this skeleton instantly escaped when he was released and didn’t kill Fei who was extremely weak. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be Human Emperor Alexander who commanded the Azeroth Continent.

Now, Zhang Hui only had one breath left, and he struggled and came here to see Gao Shang for the last time. Although he was a skeleton, he still dropped blood tears of soul, showing pure emotions. It was a pitiful scene.

Boom!

At this moment, a loud noise sounded, and another crack appeared in the void above the battleground in space.

A golden fat figure shot out of the crack first; it was Gold Saint Oleg of Cancer. This warden who was cunning and afraid of death had transcended. His giant body had an indescribably tough presence, looking like a huge beast that charged out of an abyss in the primeval time. His presence alone could make others shiver.

Oleg was once a weak warrior, but he was now a godly warrior.

It was evident that he just went through a tough battle. He was covered in blood, and even his golden armor dimmed and had cracks in it. However, his presence was still fierce, and he was battle-hungry.

Behind Oleg, a series of dragon roars resonated in the area.

A giant undead bone dragon expanded its bone wings that had a wingspan of several kilometers, and its bones had been tempered to the rare silver color. Although it was an undead creature, it had a trace of holy presence.

A black-robed man stood on the back of the bone dragon with a massive sickle.

They were Hazel Bank who had become an undead supreme god and Undead Bone Dragon Arthur.

There were marks of battle on these two as well.

The appearance of these three figures instantly changed the number of supreme-god-level entities on the side of Azeroth, and the scale of victory was tilting toward them.

“Your Majesty! Us three completed the mission that you gave us!” Oleg, Hazel Bank, and Arthur all single-knelt before Fei and reported respectfully.

“Eh.” Fei nodded and looked at the battles that were still happening around him. He said, “Go together and finish the battles!”

“As you wish!”

These three had been nurtured and trained by Fei recently, and they were empowered by the holy spiritual battle songs. Now, they were all supreme gods, and they separated and quickly joined the battles between the gold saints and the black-armor warriors.

The addition of new forces instantly sped up the progress of these battles.

Boom!

Soon, a black-armored battle machine was struck and got turned into many black fragments and mist.

“My lord, we can’t turn the situation around. I will cut them off, and you can escape! By reserving your strength now, you can have the opportunity for revenge!” Zhang Hui got anxious when he saw this scene.

“Go? Go where?” Gao Shang sighed.

Looking at this loyal subordinate who was the only one that kept his consciousness, Gao Shang suddenly reached out his bug hand and slowly pressed it on Zhang Hui’s head. He said lightly, “Zhang Hui, I remember that you always wanted to go and see your loved ones. Tens of thousands of years had passed. Today, let me grant your wish.”

As soon as Gao Shang said that, his bug hand suddenly reached into the skeleton and sucked all the remaining power away, leaving behind only Zhang Hui’s true soul. This soul floated out of the skeleton and turned into a short and thin young man. This man’s skin was fair, and he looked like a high-schooler.

“My lord…” Zhang Hui instantly understood Gao Shang’s intention, and he cried, “I can’t accompany you on expeditions anymore…”

Instead of looking at Zhang Hui, Gao Shang turned to Fei with a sense of pleading.

Fei thought of something and slightly nodded.

Gao Shang exhaled deeply and drew an arc in space with his sharp claws. A spatial crack appeared, and a blue planet could be vaguely seen on the other side.

“Go.” Gao Shang waved his arm and sent Zhang Hui’s true soul into the crack. The soul turned into a streak of light and dashed into the blue planet.
