Chapter 6491 Ku Jian
Chapter 6491 Ku Jian
Two figures appeared in the sky. One was the Heaven Wing Blood Devil who had previously fought Cloud, while the other had two blood-colored wings on his back and stood half a head taller.
This man bore two bloody holes on his head, like old wounds, and between them was a deep, jagged groove. The groove was also uneven just like... someone had bitten him. The teeth marks were very clear.
He was not only taller and more muscular than the first but also far more terrifying. Everyone with an essence rune could sense the laws of heaven and earth shifting around him.
“Damn, they still managed to get here first!” Kun Gang cursed, gnashing his teeth.
The terrifying aura signified that this person had condensed a complete essence rune and was truly capable of controlling law power.
Even without summoning his rune, this man’s presence alone suppressed all others.
Perhaps this should be called the true peak of the Human Emperor realm—an existence with half a foot in the Sovereign Lord realm.
In the gap between the Human Emperor realm and the Sovereign Lord realm was an uncrossable distance known as law power. Words could not capture it because it was limitlessly close to the existence known as the Dao.
Even Sovereign Lords, Divine Sovereigns, and those who had corroborated their Dao as Heavenly Sovereigns could not fully explain this mysterious power.
Although cultivators had long drawn on the power of heaven and earth to aid their cultivation and amplify their strength, they only knew the workings of that power by following their predecessors’ hints—they did not truly understand it.
However, this path ended at the Sovereign realm. All that remained beyond that point was a vast wilderness that each individual would have to explore themselves. The tracks they left while searching became their essence runes.
In that wilderness, they had to find a personal path and the law that suited them. But even if they found this power, walking through this wilderness was almost impossible. Those rare few who crossed it corroborated their Dao and rose as Heavenly Sovereigns—an achievement almost unheard of since ancient times.
Condensing an essence rune was like gaining fragile legs to walk that wilderness: usable, but easy to break. Thus, although many commanders here had essence runes and could wield some law power, they dared not use it recklessly. One misstep could cost their lives.
A cultivator who had condensed a complete essence rune, however, was different. Such a person had already found the laws that fit them. Not only did they have a powerful pair of legs capable of walking steadily, but they even had boots that spared them from thorns and pebbles on their path.
“Everyone, I am the Heaven Wing Blood Devil race’s Ku Jian. This is my brother Ku Qian. The Earth Cauldron belongs to us. Anyone who blocks us will die without mercy!” Ku Jian bellowed, trying to cow his competitors.
Ku Qian, the Heaven Wing Blood Devil from before, had grown far stronger after his disappearance.
With no hesitation, Ku Jian lunged for the Earth Cauldron. He was incredibly fast. Anyone in his way who didn’t have time to retreat was directly crushed to dust.
“That’s... a law domain!”
Frightened screams rang out.
Ku Jian needed only to invoke his law domain, and it would cut down the nearby experts. Only a legendary law domain could slaughter so many experts without visible fluctuations. Those caught by it had no time to even react.
“You two really are daring! Do you not fear the consequences?!” one outsider expert yelled, mourning his kin.
“Damn Heaven Wing Blood Devils, do you really think you can devour the Earth Cauldron yourselves?!”
“Don’t be too pleased! More half-step Sovereign Lords will appear, and you two brothers will die a miserable death!”
No one could stand against Ku Jian’s domain. Forced back, these experts fled while hurling curses. A being who had set half a foot beyond the Human Emperor realm and tasted the Sovereign Lord realm’s threshold was not an enemy they could compete with.
“Fools, go ahead and throw your lives away. I don’t mind killing a few more ants." Ku Jian snorted and charged on without slowing down.
The experts before him scattered, unwilling to stand in his path.
Though Ku Jian was a half-step Sovereign Lord, he knew that if he didn’t seize the Earth Cauldron immediately, once other half-step Sovereign Lords arrived, even he would be in trouble. He had to end this quickly. With Ku Qian close behind, no one dared to stop them, and they swiftly reached Meng Qi.
Suddenly, a black dagger sliced through the sky and pierced hundreds of Golden Tusk Divine Elephants.
“Damn it! That bitch was pretending all along!” the leader of the elephants roared in fury.
Only now did they realize that Dong Mingyu had been feigning weakness, letting them think they had trapped her dagger. The moment she got serious, the dagger broke free.
It flew back into her hand as her body flickered. In the blink of an eye, Dong Mingyu appeared before Ku Jian.
Under her aura, a spherical field around Ku Jian became visible. Without such force, it would have remained unseen.
“Scram!” Ku Jian shouted.
His essence rune ignited, compressing his law domain until a violent ripple exploded outward.
In response, runes flared across Dong Mingyu’s body, forming a runic battle robe. But the instant the ripple struck her, her battle robe burst apart. The impact sent her flying like a broken arrow.
Ku Jian had heard from Ku Qian that Dong Mingyu’s dagger was absolutely terrifying, so he didn’t dare to let her get near. He directly ignited his essence rune to increase the power of his domain.
But even so, she survived. Blood trickled from her lips, and her face turned pale. She was gravely wounded but still alive.
“Let me see just how strong a half-step Sovereign Lord is!” Zhao Yue shouted.
At this moment, a sword pierced through the sky, and Zhao Yue’s white robes fluttered. Woman and sword became one as they charged into Ku Jian’s domain.
