Chapter 663: Chapter 368: A Chance Encounter and Present Strength_3

The Heavenly Beings’ King looked up.

In a cave formed of lava and flame,

the enormous face carved into the rock wall, replete with molten lava and spires, was reflected in the pupils of the Heavenly Beings’ King.

“You’ve arrived.”

Ash Annihilation’s soft spoken words

caused the surrounding temperature to skyrocket.

Making the Heavenly Beings’ King feel the illusion of being on the surface of the sun.

“The task was completed well, sooner than I anticipated.”

In his speech,

Ash Annihilation was not stingy with praise.

As his voice faded,

a red light shot towards the Heavenly Beings’ King.

Pop.

The Heavenly Beings’ King raised his hand to catch it.

His palm burning hot.

He looked down,

and saw a red eyeball lying in his palm.

“From today forward, you will be part of my direct unit.”

“This represents my identity.”

“With this token, your mission merit will double, and resource supply will double, enabling unimpeded access to everything on Apocalypse Star.”

“Additionally, I grant each member of your squad one chance to contact the Divine Law and absorb a low-level law.”

One after another, rewards were bestowed.

All were things ordinary subordinates could only dream of.

Ash Annihilation possessed such authority not only because he was the Commander of Apocalypse Star,

but because,

the other party was one of the Four Great Leaders of the subordinates, a trusted follower of the Ligel faction.

Each squad under him was tasked with serving the affairs of Ligel.

Compared to other outposts’ commanders,

be it in strength or power, he was much greater.

“Serving you, sir, is my honor.”

The Heavenly Beings’ King kneeled on one knee, his face filled with excitement.

At this,

Ash Annihilation chuckled softly without comment.

His gaze locked onto the Heavenly Beings’ King as if he could see through to his heart.

“As for the thing you were promised…”

Ash Annihilation began to speak of the matter most concerning to the Heavenly Beings’ King.

“Here.”

“The person tasked with it has arrived.”

As he finished speaking,

a strange feeling began to permeate the in-body strength of the Heavenly Beings’ King.

Whoosh!

As if sensing something,

he abruptly turned his head.

A shadow covered his helmet.

Unbeknownst when,

a tall, thin figure had appeared behind him.

When—

The Heavenly Beings’ King’s pupils tightened.

Now, having obtained a fragment of the “Sky Split” law and constantly using it in battle to become familiar with it,

his strength had already reached the Starburst Level.

Yet the person before him had appeared behind him without his notice.

Not to mention,

merely standing in front of this person,

the Heavenly Beings’ King felt his in-body strength being rapidly drained and overwhelming weakness filling his very being.

All these anomalies.

How could the Heavenly Beings’ King not be alarmed?

Is this… the strength of Ash Annihilation’s direct unit?

While the Heavenly Beings’ King was silently pondering, another voice came from in front.

“If there is nothing else, you may leave.”

“I will arrange your next task for you later.”

“As for the death of your enemy…”

At this point,

Ash Annihilation directed his gaze towards the tall, dark figure.

“One day.”

The somewhat hoarse voice came out of the shadows.

The figure emerged from the darkness.

With a dark complexion and a stern face,

he did not look too dissimilar from humans.

If there were any difference to speak of, it was that he had no ears.

Answering Ash Annihilation’s question,

he did not promise confidently.

It was just a plain assertion of a foregone conclusion.

“Thank you, sir!”

At this moment, the excitement on The Heavenly Beings’ King’s face was much more sincere than earlier.

The strength of this Earless Man was far above his own,

of this,

the Heavenly Beings’ King was certain.

You should know,

having touched the Divine Tree and gained the Power of Law, the Heavenly Beings’ King’s strength was incomparably different than before his resurrection.

If allowed to go back to the battle at the World Core,

he was confident he could have killed Chen Sheng.

But now,

just standing before the Earless Man, the Heavenly Beings’ King found it hard to even stand steadily.

There was no question of fighting him.

For such a strong person to personally deal with Chen Sheng, there was no chance for the latter to turn the tables.

Perhaps Chen Sheng’s upgrade in strength was indeed swift,

but based on the Heavenly Beings’ King’s previous observations of Chen Sheng,

the extent of half a month’s time,

Chen Sheng could at best just manage to step into Starburst Level, roughly equivalent to the Heavenly Beings’ King’s present strength.

This was still the Heavenly Beings’ King erring on the side of caution, inflating Chen Sheng’s capabilities in his mind.

After all,

their world was merely a Low Martial World.

It lacked the terrifying resources of Apocalypse Star that could directly enhance one’s strength.

This time,

it was a sure bet!

Thankful to Ash Annihilation,

the Heavenly Beings’ King turned and left.

His face wore an uncontrollable joy.

He could hardly wait,

could hardly wait to hear the news of Chen Sheng’s death.
