Chapter 1224: A Meteorite King Clad in Green (1/2)

A sword shimmering with purple light appeared in the Purpleclad Duke’s hand. He threw himself forward, blocking the almost crazed Dusksnow Morningstar.

Lu Yun’s six puppets were mired in a dense throng of vicious ghosts and scarabs. Each one of the puppets was the equivalent of a peak superior realm cultivator. They hacked their way out of the tide of enemies and doggedly kept on the Meteorite King.

Their quarry wanted to rage with indignation.

He was already at the end of his tether and gravely injured. If Lu Yun’s six puppets drew near him, he would be dead without a doubt!

Everyone around them was so taken aback by the scene that they didn’t know what to think. Why was the Purpleclad Duke stopping Morningstar from killing the Meteorite King? The Starspace King had personally conferred his dukedom and hailed the Purpleclad Duke as the strongest powerhouse beneath kinghood.

When Dusksnow Morningstar came into the spotlight, the duke had purposefully stepped back and almost entirely disappeared from the public eye so that he wouldn’t steal the limelight. No one felt that the duke’s current actions were committed out of pettiness or jealousy. If he wanted to prevent Morningstar from becoming a titled king, all he had to do was to kill the Meteorite King himself.

“Whoever kills the Meteorite King today can keep his body!” the Purpleclad Duke suddenly roared.

“Seriously?!” The cultivators below bubbled over with excitement. This was why all of them were here, but they hadn’t dared take any action out of consideration for the duke, Dusksnow Morningstar, and the six strange existences that’d suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

“When have I ever gone back on my word?!” the duke shouted as he defended himself against another fearsome arrow. “Whoever kills the Meteorite King can claim his body. If anyone wants to take it from the victor, I’ll be the first to kill them!”

Whoosh!

The sword in his hand erupted with an otherworldly light and forced Morningstar back.

With that, the cultivators beneath them didn’t care about the fight between the two powerhouses anymore. Whooping and yipping with greed, they charged the Meteorite King.

A situation that’d somewhat stabilized on Meteorite Peak was once more thrown into disarray as stunning battles broke out all over the place.

The scarabs and vicious ghosts were as strong as before, but they now faced both Lu Yun’s puppets and packs of maddened cultivators. The six puppets were six identical weapons—a vein of premium purple crystal could be found in each of them as well as a complete Thousand Obliteration Formation of the Six Royals.

More important was the formation that the six formidable puppets formed—another Thousand Obliteration Formation of the Six Royals. They were able to deploy the formation at its maximum output.

The formation formed a vortex of six colors over Meteorite Peak and sucked all of the vicious ghosts and scarabs into it, churning them to pieces.

“A king?!” All of the cultivators and arcane beasts came to a halt, raising shocked eyes at the kaleidoscopic vortex above.

They could clearly see that the six bizarre figures were only in the superior realm, but when the six worked in tandem to assemble an odd formation, they possessed the battle strength of titled kings!

I had no idea this kind of thing was possible!

One had to know that no matter how strong a superior realm cultivator was, they would never possess the strength of a king prior to being baptized by the Hongmeng Tower. Take Dusksnow Morningstar—though he’d defeated the Meteorite King in open combat, he was still a half step king before the tower acknowledged his efforts and bestowed a title upon him.

The strength of a king remained off limits to him, but the six strange figures had been able to obtain king level power in their own way!
