Chapter 1412: Chapter 1368: Royal Decree Falls into Huai River, The Sovereign Beast Stirs

What is the Heavenly Fate of a King!

For the common Sacred Beast Tribe Warrior, this existence was completely beyond their knowledge, but upon witnessing the life-and-death struggle between two Strong Ones in midair, they had forgotten the previous calamity!

"I recognize these two. Luo Mo is the highest Elder of the Luo Shan Family, and Qian Jue is the highest Elder of the Qian Family. It is rumored that these two have a life-and-death friendship. Why have they embarked on a fight to the death today!"

"What is the Heavenly Fate of a King? Could it be a decree from His Majesty the King? Why does it appear beneath the Huai River!"

Soon, above the waters of the Huai River, the air was filled with an intense surge of spiritual will!

The Heavenly Fate of a King is the opportunity to ascend to Kinghood!

No wonder it could make two individuals with a life-and-death friendship turn against each other, not hesitating to fight to the death for that Purple Light Orb that signifies a great opportunity to ascend to Supreme status.

At this moment, everyone, even under a shred of oppressive force, still looked towards the purple light in the center of the Huai River, their eyes revealing an unmistakable greed!

"Luo Mo, you forced my hand. If I, Qian Yu, cannot obtain this Fate, you shall not dream of it either!" Qian Yu, drenched in blood, roared in midair, his face revealing a ferociousness!

A violent aura undulated around Qian Yu’s body!

Oh no, he’s going to self-destruct!

Now, some Sacred Beast Tribe Warriors who were originally far away saw the Heavenly Fate of a King and gathered quickly, each fantasizing about obtaining such a magnificent opportunity!

However, in their eyes, the warrior known as Qian Yu, emanating a frenzied aura, headed for the Heavenly Fate of a King!

"Luo Mo, even if I, Qian Yu, cannot obtain it, you shall not dream of it either!"

"Everyone listen, this is the Heavenly Fate of a King. After Refinement, there is hope of climbing the Supreme Dao and becoming the Supreme ruler sitting upon one side of the Earth. Today, this magnificent opportunity, I, Qian Jue, will give to you all, haha...!"

"Qian Yu, you dare!"

Following closely, Luo Mo was enraged like a thunderstorm, his body constantly stirred by piercing energy. However, he couldn’t react in time and just watched as Qian Yu struck the Heavenly Fate of a King above and plummeted again into the depths of the Huai River!

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion resonated beneath the waters, and the self-destruction of a Half King Realm Warrior whipped up monstrous waves. However, the ships of the Sacred Beast Tribe had long since retreated.

At this moment, the warriors in the central waters of the Huai River were all Strong Ones, drawn by the immense allure of the Heavenly Fate of a King. Despite the violent forces swirling around them, they were unwilling to retreat!

This was the Heavenly Fate of a King, the hope of ascending to Supreme Kingship. In the entire Sacred Beast Tribe Northern Territory, there were only so few Kings!

"The Heavenly Fate of a King is mine!"

The next moment, a Sacred Beast Tribe Warrior couldn’t hold back and plunged into the water!

Even with Qian Yu’s self-destruction carrying the Heavenly Fate of a King, they did not believe it would destroy the Heavenly Fate!

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Immediately, the surface of the water burst into splashes as one after the other, warriors unable to resist the temptation dove in, each hoping for the Heavenly Fate of a King to be bestowed upon them.

At this moment, an Elder of a clan, originally escorting goods, had abandoned the cargo without concern, for what could be more important than the Heavenly Fate of a King!

All the warriors on the Huai River became frenzied, as the King’s Realm had never been so close to their grasp!

From afar on a tower ship, the middle-aged warrior looked at the madness unfolding with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Patriarch, that’s the Heavenly Fate of a King, why aren’t we taking action!"

A young man from the clan, with eyes shining, eagerly asked.

"Yes, that is the Heavenly Fate of a King!"

However, the middle-aged warrior was very affirmative in his reply, his gaze shifting to the clan disciples.

"Exactly because it is the Heavenly Fate of a King, do you think it’s something these idiots blind to the situation can obtain?"

What!

The many disciples were shocked, completely unable to understand why their Patriarch would say such a thing.

"Don’t forget the ruler of this land, the Qiong Lake King, this is his domain. To vie with a King for his prize, they are seeking death!"

"Are you saying we should report this to the Qiong Lake King?"

"No, the true ruler of the Northern Territory isn’t Qiong Lake!"

With that, the middle-aged warrior’s eyes gleamed, and he then said to the disciples beside him: "Our Red Ravine Family’s chance has come."

"You all stay here, keep me informed at any moment. I will head west immediately, towards the Sky Python Ancient Clans, and also keep close watch on Luo Mo’s movements!"

"Yes!"

In an instant, the middle-aged turned into a streak of light and headed to the distance, towards the nearest Shifting Array. He was only at Half King Level, and the distance to the Sacred Beast Tribe’s northwest domain was too far!

And among those with such thoughts, he was not alone. At that moment, the Huai River Marsh had descended into utter chaos!

No matter what, the news of the Heavenly Fate of a King in the Sacred Beast Tribe Northern Territory spread rapidly westward!

In an instant, the Great Aristocratic Families along the banks of the Huai River Marsh began to mobilize, stirring up a storm!

The Huai River Marsh became a holy site in the hearts of all warriors, a frenzied destination for those seeking the chance to ascend to Kingship!

Everyone plunged underwater, tirelessly searching. Above the surface, the constant splashing sounds were too intense for ordinary warriors to bear, as they couldn’t dive too deep without succumbing to the pressure.

But no one gave up, even though they knew the King Realm treasure likely sank back to the bottom of the lake. Still, they all fantasied about fate falling into their own hands!

In the Huai River Marsh, fierce beasts roamed, including Five-Star Realm beasts. The surface of the water would occasionally be marred by strands of blood.

Sometimes, accompanied by a burst of spray, severed limbs would float up. These sights did not incite fear but rather attracted more people to the marsh in search of their destiny!

On the second day, a thousand feet below the Huai River Marsh!

Here, none but those above the Towering Realm could proceed, as the water pressure was barely tolerable even for them.

A warrior at the seventh level of the Towering Realm continued to scout the waters when suddenly, a three-foot-long, crystal-clear aquatic creature glided past him.

Yet, the warrior did not let his guard down due to the seemingly harmless creature. The underwater beasts were too numerous, and it was normal for him not to recognize all.

Allowing the creature to swim away, the warrior then prepared to try his luck in another direction.

However, at that moment, the water surged violently, and a burst of Sword Qi stabbed towards his back!

Underwater dangers came not only from beasts but also from one’s own kin.

Danger!

Instantly, the Towering Realm warrior unleashed all his strength and spun around to face the impending death blow.

The ferocious power stirred up the surrounding water, impacting the aquatic creature he had just seen. In that instant, the creature shone with a dazzling blue light.

The blue light, like a bursting star, splattered forth. At the moment of the divine light’s explosion, the water around it was drawn up, creating a vacuum!

Boom!

A massive wave of energy radiated in all directions, completely immobilizing both the Towering Realm warrior and the attacking warrior, filled with the dazzling blue light.

Before their eyes, the golden aquatic creature shattered like crystal, manifesting as a blue lotus that fully revived at that moment, bursting forth with boundless divine light.

"Medicine King!"

Two Sacred Beast Tribe Warriors looked on in shock, but the next moment, their bodies exploded, and the blood Qi was absorbed by the lotus!

Then, the Wang Yao transformed again, turning into a small, glittering blue fish that swam away into the distance!

...

Half a day later, the skies changed as King Grade Medicine appeared once more in the Huai River Marsh!

Qiong Lake King City.

The former Azure King City had changed its name, and the surviving bloodline of the Azure King Mansion was now scarcely remembered.

A new king brings a new court; even Azure King’s tragic end couldn’t pass the glory onto his heirs.

Qiong Lake King, as the new ruler of the Northern Territory, though he had only reigned for a mere hundred years, had already subdued most of the Northern Territory under his command!

As the new ruler of the Northern Territory, Qiong Lake King quickly received news of this emerging opportunity within his lands!

Deep within the Qiong Lake King Mansion, a figure exuding an abyss-like aura stood before a scene formed of water, depicting the events above the Huai River Marsh.

"My Qiong family shall gain another king!" With this exclamation, the figure of Qiong Lake King burst apart like a bubble.

...

At the Sacred Beast Tribe’s North-Western Territory, Lu Feng King Mansion.

"A King’s destiny is at hand; an inevitable battle awaits!"

The Void trembled, and a figure vanished!

In the same North-Western Territory, close to the southern border, there was the Sky Python Mountain Range, resembling a massive python coiled upon the land.

At the head of the Giant Python Mountain Range, space trembled, then a figure was forcibly ejected, appearing disheveled.

It was a middle-aged warrior, the head of the Red Ravine Family, who had been cast out twice by the Void Teleportation Array. After flying for three days, he finally arrived at the Giant Python Mountain Range, only to be blasted away.

Inside the Sky Python Family.

The air was thick with ancient and profound breaths, and huge tendrils hung in the air. Upon closer inspection, these tendrils, covered in python patterns, were real giant pythons.

With the pythons resting, the space was eerily peaceful.

Surrounded by these pythons, atop an Ancient Mountain, Spirit Medicines pulsated, and Spiritual Wood swayed gently in a scene of utmost tranquility.

A youthful warrior sat cross-legged at the peak, his brow marked with a ruggedness that emitted a sense of innate nobility.

"Master, I’ve examined his memories; the Heavenly Fate of a king is true. Are we really not going to take action?"

Below the youth, a warrior dressed in python robes looked particularly puzzled.

"A single King’s Heavenly Fate is not enough to tempt me. Let Lu Feng and Qiong Lake fight over it. Lu Feng King, as the direct descendant of the Emperor, sitting atop the North-Western Territory is the Emperor’s strategic choice."

"You mean the Emperor is guarding against our Sky Python Family!" exclaimed the warrior at the bottom.

"Some things are better left unsaid, knowing is enough. As the Great Aristocratic Families all push their Strong Ones to vie for the next Emperor’s position, our Sky Python Tribe cannot lag behind. However, dealing with Lu Feng King directly is unwise. It would be preferable if he clashed with Qiong Lake King over the Heavenly Fate of a king!"

After speaking, the youth fell silent and closed his eyes once again.
