Chapter 856 - Transformation (1/2)

But the still silence in the sky did not last long. A loud cackle suddenly echoed across the air.

“I have said long ago that there is nothing on this planet that can harm me. No matter how you try to attack me, you cannot hurt me. To you all, I am like air—I am like a void with no physical properties. I belong to a different dimension and you cannot hurt me. But I can harm you all.”

Saiki’s sinister laughter echoed throughout the sky. It sounded like it came from every direction, making it difficult for anyone to pinpoint his location.

“Where is that *sshole?”

The King of Thunder scanned the skies in frustration, desperately trying to locate Saiki’s whereabouts but to no avail.

The others followed suit and searched every corner of the sky, but none of them could locate Saiki’s position.

Su Li suddenly shouted out, “Xiao Luo, be careful! He is right behind you!”

Alarmed, Xiao Luo instantly turned to face his enemy but was not quick enough. As he turned, his peripheral vision caught the golden atoms forming into the shape of Saiki. Even before he could face his opponent, Saiki’s palm was already aimed right at him and discharged an air energy pulse.

BOOM!

A mushroom cloud formed over the blast and immense energy waves spread out from the point of impact. Yet again, as had occurred countless times, powerful vibrations blasted across the sky and Xiao Luo hurtled to the ground like a meteorite with smoke trailing behind him.

THUD!

The ground shook violently as an enormous crater formed from the force of the crash. A massive cloud of dust blew across the area like a sandstorm.

“Humph, such a weak piece of trash. You cannot even withstand a Level 10 air energy pulse! You are nothing but a piece of junk. You do not deserve my attention!” Saiki hovered steadily in the sky as he derided Xiao Luo with contempt.

“Saiki!”

In the very next second, a furious roar issued from the ground as Xiao Luo emerged from the crater. He was drenched in blood and wore a maniacal look on his face as blood streamed from his mouth. Xiao Luo soared toward Saiki like a roaring tsunami and delivered another punishing blow at the energy barrier. His fury made his desperate attempt appear more devastating than it was, and it proved futile.

The energy barrier was as sturdy as ever and barely shook despite taking such an immense hit.

Xiao Luo’s strike did startle Saiki briefly and a look of surprise showed on his face. But Xiao Luo’s tenacity had provoked Saiki, who furrowed his brows and yelled, “Trash, you cannot hurt me even if I were to stand here idle. Get out of here!”

BOOM!

Another air energy pulse shot out at Xiao Luo, and the ear-splitting sound deafened everyone. The tremendous energy waves even affected satellite reception around the world and disrupted transmission—for a moment, the live feed of the battle was disrupted.

Xiao Luo spiraled down from the sky and crashed like an exploding bomb. He was buried under a ton of earth as a raging storm blew overhead.

Saiki howled as he continued blasting the area where Xiao Luo had fallen. Nothing within a hundred meters of Xiao Luo’s impact point was spared. Saiki was intent on killing Xiao Luo once and for all.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Compressed air pulses were fired repeatedly and exploded on the ground, causing further damage to the already devastated land. Tons of earth swirled in the air as the land gradually crumbled.

The devastation wreaked by Saiki even caused enormous cracks to appear on the surface, and molten magma spewed from the fissures, incinerating the ground surface as it flowed unabated.

What a horrifying sight!

Su Li, the King of Swords, and the rest of the kings swiftly retreated to a mountain a thousand meters away.
