Chapter 522: The Pirate King And The Sea King (2/2)
The massive fire was quickly extinguished as the warship descended back into darkness.
At the other end of the ship’s bow, two figures stood across from one another. “Our Hall of Honor trusts Leon's Armada, and we have paid the price for you to guide us across the Cosmic Sea. However, you people have deliberately gotten us lost. The Hall of Honor will not pretend that this matter did not happen, and the Interstellar Supreme Court will not remain indifferent!”
The other figure sighed. “How many times do we have to tell you this? We’re really lost. The Cosmic Sea is extremely vast, and it even changes every year. It’s just that the most recent changes were a little ridiculous. Even we haven’t found a better route. You should trust the integrity of Leon's Armada.”
“You want me to trust the integrity of pirates?”
“It looks like you want to challenge Leon's Armada. Who gives you the balls to do so? The Interstellar Supreme Court? Or the Hall of Honor itself? Our Cosmic Sea is not some playground for your Hall of Honor. You’d best pay attention to your words.”
“Alright, you guys just wait. This matter is not over yet!”
Soon, there was only one person left on the ship’s bow, and they spoke in a taunting voice, “How can I let you guys go and cause trouble for Little Yin?”
Many days later, at the Sea King’s Dome in the Starfall Sea, the sky suddenly went dark. Everyone looked up as they felt an oppressive pressure surround them.
The Sea King looked up and stared into the distance with a strange expression on his face. “Why’s he here?”
Above the sea, thousands of miles away from the Sea King's Dome, a three meter tall figure towered above the sky while wielding a giant blade in one hand as he faced the flow of the sea.
As the sea waves snarled past him, the man raised his long blade and slashed out with an attack that extended endlessly into the distance, dividing the sea’s current in two. This current was something that even those old freaks whose power levels were in the hundreds of thousands would be nervous to face. The blade slash was so terrifying that the nearby planets started quivering, and even powerhouses with power levels over 300,000 started trembling.
“Highsage Leon, did you come to the Starfall Sea to demonstrate your power?” The Sea King's Trident stabbed out from the void.
The figure looked over and grinned. He was Highsage Leon. “Long time no see, old man.”
His blade swept out and collided against the Sea King’s Trident, the impact causing the entire Starfall Sea to shudder while everyone heard a muffled thud.
The Sea King's Trident was forcefully knocked back, and it landed in the Sea King’s hands. He clasped it and faced Highsage Leon. “What are you doing in the Starfall Sea?”
Highsage Leon held his tyrannical blade aloft and pointed it at the Sea King. “Let me ask you a question. What are you planning to use the pyrolyte for?”
The Sea King’s brows rose. “That’s none of your business. When did you become the Hall of Honor’s lackey?”
Highsage Leon spat in contempt. “The Hall of Honor’s got nothing to do with me. I’m just curious, so I came over to ask.”
The Sea King grew angry. “Are you insane? Something like pyrolyte is of no threat to us! You specially came to the Starfall Sea just to ask me this?”
Highsage Leon bristled. “That’s right, so hurry up and answer me. What are you going to use the pyrolyte for?”
The Sea King was furious. “It’s none of your business!”
Highsage Leon snorted. “We haven’t fought in a long time, so I’ve gotten itchy. Let’s have a go!”
The Sea King stabbed out with his trident. “Bring it.”
For two full days, the Starfall Sea trembled, astonishing countless people. Even the Grayweed Continent, which was second only to the Sea King's Dome, was so frightened that no one dared to go out to watch the battle. The entire Starfall Sea had become the battlefield for Highsage Leon and the Sea King.
Finally, after two days, the Starfall Sea regained its typical calmness. Highsage Leon then left. No one knew what the outcome of the battle was, because no one had been able to approach the battlefield.
The events in the Starfall Sea did not spread to Planet Pyrolyte since the Astral Wilderness had no network connection.
However, even if this news did spread, Lu Yin and the others had no time to spare their thoughts on such things. The Daynight clan had sent a truly important person down to the planet, and they had gone straight for the mountain range.
At almost the exact same time, the alliance of the Ross Empire, Blaze Realm, and Dire Barbarian Clan had also sent down their own expert, who also headed straight for the mountain range.
Two red streaks were seen closing in from the distance.
Lu Yin and Wendy Yushan stood up on top of the mountain range while Hai Qiqi and the others were protected by Northgate Lie. They all gazed solemnly towards the sky as they saw two subsequent explosions.
The various great powers above the planet were all focused on the upcoming conflict.
The hatch of the Daynight clan’s spacecraft opened, and the first thing that came out with a bone-white palm before a skeletally-thin person walked out soon after. In between the black-and-white hair, there was an eye-catching strand of grey hair. This person was from the Nightking clan.
Countless took a gasp of cold air when they saw this person. He was Nightking Gu, ranked fifteenth on the Top 100 Rankings. The Daynight clan had sent an absolute expert this time.
Wendy Yushan’s gaze trembled when she saw that it was Nightking Gu. She unsheathed her long sword, and its cold radiance illuminated the void.
Lu Yin suddenly grabbed her arm, and under her questioning gaze, he solemnly said, “Unless it’s a matter of life or death, don’t use that. If we can’t defend this mountain range, then so be it.”
Wendy Yushan’s gaze flickered, but she nodded and stepped forward.
Nightking Gu’s appearance caused everyone to forget about the other spacecraft, and even if they remembered it, they probably wouldn’t care about the person inside. It took a great deal of time and effort to manufacture each star essence skin, and at this moment, the best that the various forces could do was make a skin that could protect someone with Nightking Gu’s strength. It would take them much longer to create a skin that could allow the top ten of the Top 100 Rankings to descend to Planet Pyrolyte.
In other words, the strongest person on Planet Pyrolyte was definitely Nightking Gu at this moment.
