Chapter 911 An eye for an eye (2)
A few moments afterwards, Liu Mei's calm voice sounded through the air, a hint of a smile suffusing her lips as she stared at the blonde-haired beauty in front of her and asked her
''How does it feel, Xingyi? Becoming a peak rank 9 Dao King really feels different, doesn't it?'' After taking a moment to fully sense all the changes that were taking place inside her body, Xingyi couldn't help but fall silent for a while, before eventually nodding her head and answering in a somewhat bewildered tone
''Is this what it feels like to become a peak-stage Dao King?! No wonder peak rank 9 Dao Kings are revered so much for their strength!''
As she said this, Xingyi lowered her head and tried to suppress as much as she could, the overwhelming aura that her body was now involuntarily giving out. It was just as she had just said; becoming a peak-stage Dao King was indeed vastly different compared to normal late-stage Dao Kings! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
This difference wasn't one that could be described with just a few words either!
It was only now, after reaching this stage herself, that Xingyi finally realized why peak-stage Dao Kings could roam the 'City of Immortals' unafraid of practically anyone and anything else in this place.
It wasn't something as simple as merely another advancement in one's cultivation base, but more importantly, it was due to the cumulative evolution of the strength and comprehension of the Dao that these Dao Kings experienced the moment they reached this peak!
Staring at this peculiar scene in front of them, Liu Mei and the others remained quiet for a few moments as they observed everything in silence, before Jiang Chen eventually nodded his head and commented in a calm tone
''Back when I was a kid, when my father used to teach me the basics of cultivation, he constantly emphasized the importance of the Dao King realm and building a strong foundation before ever trying to become a Dao Emperor! He always pointed out, that only those cultivators who had reached the absolute peak of rank 9 in the Dao King realm were qualified to roam through the central continent with a certain degree of safety, without actually risking their lives at every twist and turn they faced!''
Jiang Chen's voice then trailed off momentarily, as his deep black eyes stared intently at the hundreds of shadows that had already wrapped themselves around Xingyi's body and were slowly turning darker and darker with every passing moment, as if the shadows themselves were gradually turning even deeper and more pronounced as time passed, before the devilishly handsome young man narrowed his eyes and continued speaking
''...And the reason behind this all, is due to this powerful aura that all peak-stage Dao Kings naturally exude when they finally reach the peak... the aura of a pseudo-Dao Emperor!''
Turning his head to look at the taciturn Liu Mei just a few meters away from him, Jiang Chen's expression didn't change, but his voice turned slightly more serious as he continued
''Half a year ago, during your breakthrough to the peak of rank 9, I couldn't understand why your aura was so deadly that I couldn't get a good feel for it even from a distance away, but now I finally do!''
In the next moment however, just as Jiang Chen's voice trailed off and disappeared into the distance, Liu Mei who was curious to hear the rest of his explanation suddenly frowned while her gaze abruptly turned cold and unfeeling, before the ground beneath her feet suddenly started to violently shake!
At the same time, Shun Long who was just about to sit down and continue his secluded cultivation widened his eyes, before an incredulous expression quickly found its way to his face shortly afterwards, as a single thought coursed through his mind
''There is actually someone brave enough to attack my 'Five-elements protective formation'?''
