The sudden shattering of Vast Phenonon Realm was beyond the High Priest’s expectations, and the equally shocking ergence of two incredibly terrifying auras caught him equally off-guard. But most critically, the position where the two appeared was suprely awkward for him.
He was almost right between the two!
On the left was the ferocious Golden Crow Fla. Though no flas were visible, the terrifying high temperatures caused the nearby elents to visibly vaporize.
On the right was endless icy cold. Though no Water Elent was present, the surrounding elents visibly solidified, including the flowing wind!
Such a phenonon beyond ordinary understanding could only an one thing—the powers of these two had transcended the laws of this world, and both..... had broken through to the King Level!
Had they gone mad?
The question popped into the High Priest’s mind. As a top-notch expert who could also break through to King Level at any mont, and a Martial Legacy Priest of the Ancient Demon Clan, how could he not foresee the consequences of reaching King Level? Both these individuals had the resources to vie for dominion over the world, especially Shenyue with her profound background. Why would she choose to break through to King Level and fight to the death against the other?
But then, he quickly realized.
This might be a forced move...
aning, this Siao Family lad had shattered the Vast Phenonon!
The realization shook the High Priest profoundly. That woman had confidently asserted that her brother would not perish within the Vast Phenonon, and it turned out she was right. It seed the Siao Family youngster had made a daring, decisive breakthrough to King Level, forcing Shenyue, who had yet to fully control the Vast Phenonon Space, to also break through to King Level.
The forming, epheral world required high precision control, and an unexpected King Level breakthrough by Shenyue naturally made it impossible for her to maintain, thus leading to its collapse.
This process wasn’t difficult to infer, but even having guessed it, the High Priest still gasped, chilled. This thod of resolution was simple to state, but accurately judging the timing and pushing oneself to a desperate situation was not sothing just anyone could achieve. This Siao Family Emperor was truly fearless.
But now was not the ti for such reflections, but rather to consider his own situation.
The coincidental positioning of the two had trapped him right in the middle and sowhat irrelevant to their fight, he instantly beca the most troubleso obstruction.
In an instant, his greatest fear materialized.
The eyes of both fastened on him at virtually the sa mont...
An unprecedented sense of crisis washed over him, the High Priest was more outraged than frightened. These two, barely having a mont’s breath left, still chose to set their sights on him?
At that mont, he knew he’d been pulled into the fray, and he needed to breakthrough as well. Otherwise..... today there would be no survival...
Such thoughts ceased abruptly as the energy he was gathering to unseal his power halted instantly.
"High Priest!!"
From a distance, Zhang Xiaoyun’s eyes were wide-open, seething with crimson, and behind him, a tall Four Holy Guard didn’t hesitate to sweep up Zhang Xiaoyun and rush backwards.
The surrounding Four Holy Guard also retreated like a tide in an instant.
What caused all this was the fate between those two, the fate of the High Priest!
He was utterly obliterated, not a sliver of chance left, the strongest Martial Legacy Priest of the Ancient Demon Clan had turned into nothing but a heap of mangled flesh....
"The High Priest..... is dead?"
Zhang Xiaoyun, being rapidly carried away from the battlefield, still had eyes full of disbelief.
"He hesitated," replied the tall Four Holy Guard, coldly.
Among those present, few could see the situation clearly in that instant; he was one of them.
Zhang Xiaoyun knew this man’s status was no less than the High Priest’s; he was the War Priest of the modern Ancient Demon Clan!
"Why? Didn’t that woman already reach an agreent with the High Priest, prioritizing the assassination of the Human Race Emperor?"
Zhang Xiaoyun didn’t understand why the two fiercely battling individuals had suddenly conspired together to kill the High Priest first.
Both of them were in such a state, why did they still expend precious stamina and ti targeting the High Priest?
"Agreent? You believe in agreents on the battlefield?" the War Priest said coldly, "On the battlefield, how quickly can circumstances change? If one adhered strictly to the rules, would it still be called a battlefield? We have a deep-seated hatred with the Reincarnator; do you think they would be steadfast allies?"
"But... that shouldn’t make them the top target... They were both fighting to the death, why could they still..."
"He thought the sa and that’s why he died!" the War Priest sighed, "At such a ti, anyone could easily hesitate. Both were down to their last breath, and stamina was incredibly precious. Any waste could determine the outco. At that mont, anyone who attacked the High Priest alone would be dood, yet paradoxically, it was the two of them acting together."
"The High Priest didn’t expect the two to be so resolute and in such perfect accord. The reason is simple; neither had guaranteed victory. At that ti, coincidentally, the High Priest appeared between them, potentially altering their duel’s outco. Why spare him then?"
"The High Priest probably foresaw this, but didn’t expect their actions to be so decisive. Indeed, from the mont his position was exactly between the two, he should have understood his plight. He had no other choice but to break through to King Level and fight desperately just like them."
"But he hesitated—that re mont of hesitation cost him his chance."
"This... " Zhang Xiaoyun still couldn’t accept it, "Just because of that?"
That was the High Priest of the Ancient Demon Clan, a wise elder who led the Ancient Demons and inaugurated the Sorcerer Dynasty, scheming across the world. What a magnificent existence he was!
And he died just because of that mont of hesitation?
"The battlefield isn’t like scheming behind the scenes," the War Priest sighed, "That’s just how the battlefield is. In combat, no matter how noble you are, life and death are decided in an instant. The Emperor of the Human Race and the Reincarnator didn’t hesitate, but the High Priest did, so he was the one to die, as simple as that."
Zhang Xiaoyun: "....."
"Rember this mont firmly, embed it in your veins, and pass this valuable lesson on to your descendants. Let every one of them understand this principle: On the battlefield... hesitation leads to defeat!"

"Your Majesty..."
Sparrow Bee looked seriously at the two facing off, his heart churning like a stormy sea. He had always believed that he stood among the top of King-Level warriors, that less than five people in the world could defeat him.
But now he lacked that confidence...
In Capital City, while not at his best, he had lost to the woman before him. He was sowhat unwilling to accept that, but now he was certain—even at his peak, facing either of those confronting each other now, he would be utterly annihilated.
One might be excusable, being the head of a guild, losing to such a Supre Level wouldn’t be disgraceful, but the other...
The Human Race has indeed produced a fierce figure!
"Should we just watch like this?" Sparrow Bee asked the watching Empress.
"What else can we do?" the Empress narrowed her eyes, "I haven’t got the skill to lock down both of them!"
Sparrow Bee nodded, understanding what she ant. Dark Crow Fla had a special ability to erode the energy of the human body to a degenerative extent.
Yes, he could stand here because of the opponent’s capability; the Dark Crow Fla had eroded him from King Level straight to the Peak of King Level, which was why he could participate in this battle.
But that required a massive amount of Dark Crow Fla, with trendous consumption!
It ant that if the Emperor won, she could use the Dark Crow Fla to drag the Emperor back to a level this world could withstand. However, if he needed help, she could only save one!
"What if Your Majesty loses?"
"If I lose, won’t I still have Orphan?" The Empress gave a slight smile.
She seed relaxed, but this was the first ti Sparrow Bee heard uncertainty in her tone—the Empress, who usually seed so confident in her twin brother, doubted this ti...
But no wonder, when facing that woman, who could guarantee victory?
Sparrow Bee was also curious to see the outco. One was an ancient Venerable One, and the other a current King. In this clash of kings, who would ultimately prevail?
