Chapter 363: Chapter 322: The Crimson Kirin Enters the Dark Heavens (First Update)

Black Sky Plain had completely changed.

All of this was because of one Red-scaled King.

First, the most beloved grandson of the Fifth Great Bandit, one of the Black Sky Eight Bandits, was seriously injured by someone, causing a storm of anxiety across the entire Black Sky Plain.

Then a Red-scaled King suddenly burst in, not only shattering the Divine Spear of the Black Mountain Lord, challenging his authority, but also inducing the Black Mountain Lord’s rage to the point of madness, compelling him to issue a Black Order Bounty that hadn’t been seen in decades or even centuries.

Moreover, the Red-scaled King swept through thirty-nine bandit dens in just one day, slaughtering thousands of bandits. He admitted he was the one who had gravely injured the favorite grandson of the Fifth Great Bandit, showing no regard for the Black Sky Plain, causing an unprecedented Black Storm there.

Black Sky Plain, which had maintained peace for an unknown number of years, had completely turned on its head. It was foreseeable that, should the Red-scaled King not be found in the near future, the Black Sky Plain would not return to true tranquility.

This vast territory including the numerous towns on the edges of the Black Sky Plain would suffer unimaginable consequences.

Yet what was surprising was that, after the bounty order was issued, the Red-scaled King should have been trying his best to leave Black Sky Plain to avoid the storm, but instead, he had been appearing frequently in recent days. Each time, he targeted larger bandit dens, sweeping through them and slaughtering countless bandits with wanton aggression, blatantly provoking action, attracting swarms of bandits to encircle and hunt him down.

Yet each time, the Red-scaled King escaped with ease, beyond anyone’s prevention.

Such actions not only provoked the Black Order Bounty, but also enraged the Black Sky Eight Bandits. His arrogance was too much; many of the real powerhouses deep inside the Black Sky Plain mobilized, including some infamous, long-established bandit leaders, who went out to presumably hunt down the Red-scaled King across the world.

However, after this, the Red-scaled King suddenly vanished and appeared no more, but the tumult in Black Sky Plain continued, with many bandits vowing to find him even if it meant digging three feet into the ground.

At the same time, the real Red-scaled King had already led the many powerhouses from Red God Valley into the notorious Black Sky Plain, oblivious to everything happening within, unaware that a Black Order Bounty was seeking his demise.

The Divine Ship traveled across Changkong, rumbling through the sky, a sight to behold, clearly visible hundreds of miles away.

But there was a terrifying pressure emanating from the Divine Ship, with at least a Divinity Transformation Realm expert in charge, something ordinary bandits wouldn’t dare provoke.

Along the way, the Seventeenth Elder cautioned, "You need to be careful on this trip to Black Sky Plain. The Eight Great Bandits there are truly exceptional individuals, you cannot afford to be careless."

Yet the Red-scaled King nonchalantly said, "What is Black Sky Plain to me? Could it possibly dare to offend Red God Valley?"

The Seventeenth Elder shook his head and said, "One must not be negligent. Although Black Sky Plain is not comparable to the Immortal Sacred Land, among the Black Sky Eight Bandits there are Saint Lord Level Characters, including some so terrifying that even the Saints themselves are extremely wary. The Valley Master would be apprehensive, so you mustn’t be careless."

Black Sky Plain was notorious worldwide, riddled with bandits, and the Black Sky Eight Bandits were not just famous in the Qingyang Domain; they had a considerable reputation across the world, with several of them on par with the contemporary masters of the Immortal Sacred Land, Saint Lord Level Characters with astonishing cultivation, so powerful that even the Immortal Sacred Land paid them heed with caution.

What defines a Saint Lord?

They are the contemporary rulers of the Immortal Sacred Land, those who command the Sect Hierarchs, Sect Masters, and Family Heads, holding sway over the whole Immortal Sacred Land; each and every one of them is a truly matchless powerhouse, possessing astonishing cultivation, transcending the extraordinary, and attaining sainthood, with few in the mortal world able to match them.

At the very least, in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, they absolutely count as exceptional.

Throughout the ancient and modern times, they have been considered the supreme beings who dominate the rise and fall of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms. If the Immortal Sacred Land is said to possess a fearsome power capable of influencing the development of each Great Domain, then they are the contemporary masters wielding this frightful power.

No one has ever dared to underestimate Saint Lord Level Characters.

The Red-scaled King was no fool, naturally having heard of the fame of the Black Sky Eight Bandits, aware of their notoriety, but he held a confidence of his own.

Red God Valley was an Immortal Sacred Land, a legacy spanning the Eternal Times, possessing an unimaginable depth that could not be comprehended without being a true Immortal Sacred Land; that was the foundation for its lasting existence.

This was what Black Sky Plain lacked in comparison; even having matchless powerhouses such as the Black Sky Eight Bandits wasn’t enough without the corresponding heritage.

The group directly boarded the Divine Ship and entered Black Sky Plain. They possessed a Secret Treasure, and though shielded by the powerful Soul Stabilizing Pearl, they were able to approximate the location through the remaining Primordial Spirit Imprint.

"They are located in the northwest of Black Sky Plain, thirteen thousand miles away from here."

"Good, let’s set off!"

The Divine Ship tore through the sky at a rapid pace, transforming into a streak of Divine Light flashing across Changkong, rumbling loudly and drawing the attention and scrutiny of many in the Black Sky Plain.

Many were utterly astounded, wondering who would dare to be so ostentatious during such a critical time on the Black Sky Plain, seemingly unafraid of death?

"Who could that Divine Ship belong to, daring to flaunt such arrogance over Black Sky Plain?" asked a bandit leader atop a mountain, gazes fixated on the Divine Ship crossing the Heavenly Dome, inquiring intently.

"I’m not sure," a subordinate said. "It seems to be a big shot from a major family outside the Black Sky Plain on the move, maybe unaware that the Black Sky Plain has changed hands." "It’s unlikely to be the Red-scaled King."

"No, it’s possible it’s him, just doing the exact opposite," the bandit chief said in a deep voice. "He might be using the Divine Ship to disguise himself as a dignitary to avoid attention and to connect with the leaders of other strongholds. Together we will catch up to the Divine Ship and question them."

"Yes!"

Soon after, the Divine Ship that was en route suddenly stopped, because at that moment, three powerful figures appeared in the void, all top experts in the Divinity Transformation Realm, blocking the Divine Ship of Red God Valley’s elites.

These three were clearly bandits from the Black Sky Plain, and bandits of the Divinity Transformation Realm were leaders of their respective territories.

"Who are you?"

On any normal day, the powers of Red God Valley would have driven the Divine Ship straight through, ignoring everything, as no one dared to block the way of the Divine Ship from Red God Valley. But this place was the Black Sky Plain, a domain where even individuals on the Saint Lord Level had to be three parts wary, so they were cautious.

A powerhouse from Red God Valley appeared outside the ship, cupped his fist politely and said, "Brothers, we are from Red God Valley, entering the Black Sky Plain only to find a person. Please let us pass."

"Red God Valley!?" On hearing this, the three bandit chiefs suddenly changed their expressions, exchanging glances, one of them even asked, "Is the Red-scaled King on the Divine Ship?"

Looking for the Red-scaled King? The elites from Red God Valley were puzzled, but in that moment the Red-scaled King flew out, wearing red armor, his red hair spread out, an aura of regal majesty swirling around him, as if sensing the enmity from the three bandit leaders, he stated firmly, "I am here, what is it you want?"

"What is it we want?" One of the bandit chiefs coldly snorted upon his appearance, "You still dare to ask? Now that we have met, don’t even think about escaping, kill!"

Instantly, a large group of bandits surged from the ground into the sky, a hundred in number, all experts of the Demigod Realm, and among them, several were figures of the Divinity Transformation Realm, charging towards the Divine Ship.

"How dare you! Even our Divine Ship from Red God Valley you dare to attack!"

The Red-scaled King immediately let out a cold huff, his flaming red hair flying wildly as he held a Blood Spear, rising into the sky with King-level combat power erupting, he charged into battle.

A bandit chief also executed Divine Arts, shouting coldly, "So what if you are a young king? Do you really think you are invincible? A mere Demigod daring to compete with Divinity Transformation is seeking death!"

Boom—

Above the Heavenly Dome, a fierce battle unfolded, Divine Power shocking the heavens as if two Divine Lands were in fierce combat.

This was the Red-scaled King in a fierce battle with one of the bandit chiefs, a character from the Divinity Transformation Third Layer Heaven, a god for many years, experienced in battle, and even by the broad standards of the entire Black Sky Plain, he was one of the top figures, a Heroic Master of these tens of thousands of miles of wasteland.

But soon after, the earth shattered, and a Blood Spear with peerless Divine Power pierced through a figure, nailing the obstructionist bandit leader to the ground. It turned out that he was no match for the Red-scaled King; he was defeated in less than a dozen or so exchanges and was directly impaled to the earth by the Red-scaled King’s Blood Spear, with blood gushing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, a pitiful sight far from an opponent.

All watched in shock as the young figure slowly walked down from the Heavenly Dome, his body bathed in blood, emitting an intimidating chill that reached far and wide, captivating and startling everyone.

"Divinity Transformation? Ridiculous, those not even in the Fifth Layer Heaven daring to compete with a king is seeking death."

The Red-scaled King, from his superior position, said coldly, returning the words back to the speaker.

Within the Blood Spear, an earth-shattering Divine Power burst forth, that of King Divine Power, imbued with the will of a king, blowing apart the bandit chief, obliterating both form and spirit.

All bandits were horrified; was this truly what a young king was like? Initially thought to be just a commonplace member of the younger generation, in reality, he was far stronger than imagined, as a top expert of the Divinity Transformation Third Layer Heaven was killed in such a manner.

Looking at the other bandits, the Red-scaled King said coldly, "I do not know why you have approached me, but daring to attack me means sealing your fate to death."

"No, don’t, by doing this you will completely offend the entire Black Sky Plain, and even the Eight Great Bandits won’t let you go," one of the bandit chiefs shouted, unable to muster the will to fight, in the face of such a Supreme Demon God, even his elder brother, the Divinity Transformation Expert, was swiftly slain, how could the others be his opponents?

"What of the Black Sky Plain? I, the Red-scaled King, have never feared anything. Whoever comes, I will kill."

Boom—

The Blood Spear was pulled back into the void and launched again, turning into a dazzling streak of blood light that directly pierced the chest of the bandit chief, splitting him into two in the sky and splattering blood everywhere.

That’s when the Red-scaled King went into action, King-level combat power fully unleashed, sweeping across the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates, battling all bandits.

In the distance, two hazy figures appeared, gazing over this area and muttered to themselves, "Hmm, this Red-scaled King is quite a handful, perhaps we should introduce some tougher characters, better to ambush and kill him!"
