Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1183: Severing A Crown

In the void outside the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm.

The two superior beings were sitting in the lotus position as they watched the ongoings of the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm. It looked just like a tiny chess board in front of them.

Every breath they took could cause the world space in front of them to tremble.

The elements of earth, wind, water, and fire circulated around Wang Xuanjin. From time to time, a golden lotus would bloom and the worldly natural energy in the area would turn gentle, moving along with his will.

Over at the All-Beings Devil King’s side, there was endless darkness. Multiple shadows seemed to be squirming within.

For a moment, a faint scream echoed out of the darkness. It was like the ripples created when one threw a pebble into a pool of still water.

At this point, the All-Beings Devil King changed into the appearance of a kid. Its young face stared at the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm with cold eyes. In the endless darkness behind it, white shadows that could completely cover the sky flashed by. They turned into hundreds of millions of human skins that hovered in the void.

A moment later, the human skins opened their mouths and shot out white beams. The beams condensed into a ray of destruction that could annihilate anything in its path.

Then the white ray of destruction blasted directly towards the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm!

It seemed like the All-Beings Devil King was planning to destroy the world space completely.

Fortunately, Wang Xuanjin did not sit idly as the All-Beings Devil King threw his tantrum. It was acting like a child who was about to flip the table because it had lost a game of chess. Seeing this, Wang Xuanjin waved his sleeve. A golden lotus that was hundreds of thousands of feet wide surrounded the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm. Ancient runes could be seen on the lotus, and it rotated slightly as it absorbed the ray of destruction.

"All-Beings Devil King, it's too ungraceful to ruin the chessboard just because you lost the game," Wang Xuanjin said with a light smile.

When the All-Beings Devil King's scheme was thwarted earlier, all the previous preparations he had put in place had been neutralized as well. The world space had naturally fallen back into the control of Wang Xuanjin. Check new 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters at nov𝒆lbin(.)com

The All-Beings Devil King could no longer change the rules of the realm according to its will.

"Wang Xuanjin, this is just an insignificant world space. Even though there is Worldly Source Energy in it, it's not much of a loss to me," the All-Beings Devil King responded indifferently.

Worldly Source Energy was the most primal type of energy in the world. It was said that it was a prerequisite for anyone who wanted to reach the King Stage. At the same time, it was essential in the crafting of extraordinary artifacts. The Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm was full of precious treasures, but they meant nothing to beings like the All-Beings Devil King and Wang Xuanjin. What truly attracted their interest was the Worldly Source Energy that had materialized in this realm.

Wang Xuanjin smiled pleasantly. He knew that the All-Beings Devil King was trying to be tough with its words. If it really did not care about the Worldly Source Energy, why would it have used the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion to take it over?

The All-Beings Devil King's eyes darkened. It was pointless for it to say anything more at this point. It took another cold glance at the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm before it stood up.

The sky full of stars turned dim as soon as it did.

"Wang Xuanjin, you have won this round, but don't get too cocky. On the day the shadow world begins its invasion, I will make sure the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion consumes the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. All your students will become part of my human skin collection," the All-Beings Devil King said coldly.

Wang Xuanjin grinned at him. "All-Beings Devil King, have you asked me for permission before you leave?"

The All-Beings Devil King squinted. "Wang Xuanjin, you dare stop me?"

Both of them were Triple Crowned Kings. The All-Beings Devil King was confident that if it wanted to leave, not even Wang Xuanjin would be able to stop it.

Wang Xuanjin laughed out loud. "Who doesn't know that the All-Beings Devil King is the toughest to kill amongst all the Kings in the shadow world? You have more than a hundred million incarnations and you can shift your will between any of your bodies at any time. As long as a single piece of afflicted skin survives, you'll be able to come back to life."

He raised his eyes and looked over at the All-Beings Devil King at this point. "But once again, let me ask you. Do you really think I have been sitting around doing nothing all this while? You've been constantly interfering with the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm, while I did not take any action to stop you. Do you think I’ve been acting like a doll?"

The eyes of the All-Beings Devil King turned colder. At the same time, a hint of suspicion appeared in its mind. It had interfered with the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm multiple times, but Wang Xuanjin hadn't done anything to stop it. Initially, it thought that this was because he trusted the students. However, it seemed like he was plotting something else altogether. Moreover, this scheme was directed at it.

Suddenly, the All-Beings Devil King noticed dazzling points of light surrounding them. An ancient octagram mirror emerged from the depths of the void. It condensed the rays of light, and the light appeared to penetrate the layers of world space and completely enveloped them.

This radiance could not be blocked. It was capable of illuminating anything in the world.

TheAll-Beings Devil King was captured by the ancient octagram mirror, blanketing it with light. Suddenly, it felt fear from the bottom of its heart.

It was an uneasy feeling. It had always lived in the shadows, and it was about to be exposed to the light.

It immediately understood what that mirror was capable of doing.

"The Heaven Illuminating Mirror? Wang Xuanjin, you actually secretly borrowed this mirror? No wonder you did nothing while I was interfering with the situation below. You were stealthily capturing me with this treasure!" Anger was finally rising up within the All-Beings Devil King's eyes.

Under normal circumstances, it would never allow itself to be captured by the Heaven Illuminating Mirror. Therefore, Wang Xuanjin must have quietly set it up in the void and used his powers to prevent it from noticing the mirror.

It had the ability to transfer its will across any of its hundreds of millions of incarnations. Thus, no one could really locate its true self. Hence, the All-Beings Devil King was known as one of the toughest foes of the shadow world. However, the Heaven Illuminating Mirror was able to illuminate every corner of the world as they knew it. No matter how many layers of world space existed between them, nothing would be able to hide from it.

Once it had been captured by the mirror, all of its skins would be revealed.

The All-Beings Devil King groaned. It knew that it had fallen into the trap set by Wang Xuanjin. Without any hesitation, its body melted into white wax.

Its presence vanished instantly.

Wang Xuanjin waved his hand, and the light shone on the ancient Heaven Illuminating Mirror. Numerous densely packed balls of light appeared on it, glowing with powerful brilliance

"Since you've fallen into my trap, you better leave something behind. If not, how will I explain myself to the kids who have worked so hard?" Wang Xuanjin sighed softly. He flicked his fingers, and the balls of light connected to one another, forming something like a chain. In an unimaginable manner, it pierced through the void and locked onto a specific spot.

Wang Xuanjin looked over, his gaze penetrating the void.

He had locked onto a city without any life. Numerous figures were slowly marching through it like corpses. However, his eyes landed on one particular corpse.

That corpse trembled, and a hint of fury suddenly appeared in its lifeless eyes.

The will within that body tried to shift into a new target once again.

However, the ancient chains of light suddenly appeared in the region. Physical matter seemed to mean nothing to the chain of light. It directly wrapped around and tied down the will of the All-Beings Devil King.

Wang Xuanjin waved his ruler emotionlessly. Countless stars rained down like comets falling in the night sky.

When the ruler descended, it did not release anything resembling a terrifying force. It simply split the sky into two with the corpse at its center.

A giant valley that spanned hundreds of thousands of miles appeared on the land.

Everything was wiped out in its wake.

Including the walking corpses.

A cry of pain echoed in the void as the area trembled violently.

"Wang Xuanjin, I will remember this. I will wipe out the Heavenly Origin Ancient College and have my revenge next time!" The voice cursed angrily as it transcended across world space and even echoed in the void outside the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm.

Wang Xuanjin's eyes remained indifferent. He glanced over at his ruler and saw a trail of white blood.

His strike had severed the crown of the All-Beings Devil King.

In other words, the All-Beings Devil King had now fallen to the Dual Crowned King Stage. This was an extremely critical injury for the All-Beings Devil King. It would need a huge amount of hard work and cultivation before it could recover from this loss.

Moreover, this meant that the shadow world had one less Triple Crowned King. This was a huge piece of good news for the humans. Wang Xuanjin looked back at the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm. His eyes were full of complex emotions. He had bided his time just for this single strike. However, this had also caused many of the young students to lose their lives. Perhaps he was truly as cold and calculating as the Others described him.

As he was pondering in silence, waves of energy rippled out in the area behind him. Numerous figures with domineering auras appeared.

They were all fierce and full of murderous intent. They were none other than the vice principals of the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.

As the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion and the All Beings Devil King retreated, they had also returned in victory.
