Chapter 172: Shadow Fusion, Fourth-Tier Martial King Level!

The clash between two Fourth-tier Martial Kings had already reached an unimaginably astonishing peak!

After all, the current maximum limit that the spatial rift could accommodate was precisely the Fourth-tier Martial King level…

And the humans’ preemptive deployment on the other side of the spatial rift was exactly to prevent overly powerful Martial King-level beings from invading Earth and bringing catastrophe.

Thus, until this very day, none of the people present had ever personally witnessed what a battle between Fourth-tier Martial Kings looked like.

Now, they experienced it firsthand.

It was a presence so overwhelming that they couldn’t even get close; they could only watch from afar.

Just the power leaking from the clash was enough to force them into defensive stances!

And what shocked them even more was — Su Xiaobai, this ‘little fellow’ who was merely at the Ultimate Martial Commander level, had actually managed to block an attack from a Fourth-tier Martial King of the Siwu Clan!

“He’s injured!”

Meng Qianzheng’s eyes sharpened.

Very soon, everyone noticed — after blocking that earlier strike, Su Xiaobai’s right arm had shattered and vanished on the spot, his left arm was half-crippled, and his skin was cracked all over, with fractures crawling across every inch of his body, as if he could explode and die at any moment…

Clearly, the strike from a Fourth-tier Martial King had exceeded the limits of what Su Xiaobai could endure!

“Hmm?!”

However, what astonished them even more was that Su Xiaobai’s missing right arm, crippled left arm, and the wounds all over his body — were actually healing at an inconceivable speed!

“That’s… a king-level life-attribute cultivation technique?!”

A sharp gleam flashed across Yanxuan’s violet pupils. “No wonder he managed to break through to the 104th floor of the Illusory Tower, setting so many extraordinary records… The Clan Chief’s decision was right — no matter what, he must be killed! This threat must not be allowed to survive!”

Why did so many forces in the Virtual Network vie to court the Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon?

It was precisely because geniuses like this, once grown, would become unimaginably terrifying threats.

The Siwu Clan did not hesitate to dispatch a massive army to invade Earth even before fully tearing open the spatial rift — all to prevent Su Xiaobai from escaping to a place beyond their control… completely eliminating future troubles at the root!

“Kill!”

Yanxuan flung his hands forward, and a pair of giant maces, wrapped in pitch-black radiance, appeared in his grip.

What he wielded was no longer divine weapons, but genuine King-grade armaments!

The ten pairs of black wings behind him flapped once, and his several-hundred-meter-tall figure turned into a bolt of lightning, carrying earth-shattering power, charging straight toward Su Xiaobai!

“No… a Fourth-tier Martial King is too powerful, no one can match him!”

“There’s never been a Fourth-tier Martial King who successfully broke into Earth before… Who could possibly stop it?!”

“It’s too late… that little guy at the Ultimate Martial Commander level is going to be killed!”

“….”

All the human Martial Kings couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts, their faces showing despair.

The current situation had completely surpassed their capabilities…

A Fourth-tier Martial King — unless a Martial King from the Forbidden City could rush back from the Vast Domain right now, no one could stop it!

But even if they rushed back now, it would be too late.

Su Xiaobai was doomed.

Most of the Martial Kings present were doomed.

At least eighty to ninety percent of Base No.1 would be lost!

One misstep, and humanity would be greeted by an abyss of despair!

“Truly worthy of a Fourth-tier Martial King…”

“Just withstanding a single strike nearly shattered my body completely!”

Su Xiaobai was standing amidst a blood mist that towered ten thousand meters high.

Thanks to the healing effect of the king-level life-attribute cultivation technique, the cracks and wounds on his body had already mostly healed in such a short span of time, with only his right and left arms still in the process of recovery.

Recalling the force he had just experienced clashing head-on with a Fourth-tier Martial King, Su Xiaobai couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

“The gap between Third-tier and Fourth-tier levels is truly massive!”

“Looks like if I want to deal with this Fourth-tier Martial King from the Vast Domain, I’ll have to use some of my trump cards!”

Su Xiaobai’s blood-colored pupils locked onto the Fourth-tier Martial King who was charging at him.

That pair of giant maces would land on his head in just a single breath’s time!

At this thought, Su Xiaobai couldn’t help but curve his lips into a grin.

Instead of any fear, an unprecedented surge of fighting spirit ignited in his eyes—

“System, recall all Shadows — activate Possession!”

The moment Su Xiaobai issued the command, all Shadows that had been auto-hunting in the Vast Domain, protecting Su Ling’er at Base No.1, and auto-clearing the Illusory Tower — disappeared on the spot!

In the next second—

One shadow after another appeared beside Su Xiaobai.

As the first Shadow merged into his body, Su Xiaobai’s aura instantly soared!

Then came the second Shadow, the third, the fourth…

Boom!!!!

The instant all 15 Shadows fully fused into him, the aura emanating from Su Xiaobai reached an appalling level!

“This power… is truly wondrous!”

With all 15 Shadows possessing him, Su Xiaobai’s strength had skyrocketed more than tenfold!

This overwhelming, transformative sensation — like rebirth — filled him with indescribable ecstasy.

“Die!!”

At the same time, Yanxuan’s attack arrived.

The Fourth-tier Martial King, without holding anything back, swung his colossal maces with earth-shattering might!

Even space itself began to distort slightly — the terrifying power was beyond imagination!

At this moment, everyone instinctively held their breath.

No matter what they said or did now, it was too late.

All they could do was witness the outcome of this battle…

Facing this heaven-splitting strike, Su Xiaobai made no unnecessary movements — he simply raised his hand and slashed with a single blade!

Boom!!!!

The world-shaking roar resounded once again.

The Ultimate, unrestrained power spread outward without reserve!

And then — an unbelievable scene unfolded—

Su Xiaobai had actually withstood the blow head-on, without retreating a single step!

“What?!”

Yanxuan’s violet pupils shrank suddenly.

How had this Earthling’s strength surged so drastically out of nowhere?!

“This…”

The human Martial Kings were all dumbfounded.

“Now… the real fair fight can finally begin!”

Su Xiaobai grinned.

Bathed in blood mist, his blood-colored pupils burning with endless madness, he looked like a berserk demon!

In the next instant, he raised his Oblivion Breaker and slashed out a thousand strikes toward Yanxuan in an instant!

Thus, the brutal battle between two Fourth-tier Martial Kings officially commenced!
