The elder’s soul jumped out of his body. When he said those words, he was on full alert. He did not feel any spatial fluctuations in energy, but still the Shepherd Boy suddenly appeared in front him like a ghost. He had instantaneously traversed a thousand feet through the void, far exceeding the elder’s reaction time!
Against the terrifying male of the Desolate race, the Shepherd Boy, this elder felt as if Death itself had descended on him. That pressure, this fear could not be described with words!
Even though he had spoken with confidence and logic, his hair was now standing on end, and his face had turned pale.
It was too terrifying. He was unbeatable!
In a split second, the elder knew that escape was no longer a possibility. He roared and ignored the palm strike from the Shepherd Boy. He circulated his body’s Yuan Qi and slashed at the Shepherd Boy’s chest with a saber!
He wanted to risk his life to take a life!
Since he could not block the Shepherd Boy’s attack, he could only use this method to force the Shepherd Boy to defend!
However, the Shepherd Boy remained expressionless. His palm carried on descending.
Risking his life?
The Shepherd Boy had spent his entire life in the Divine Wilderness, and now stood above this world. How could he risk his life with a Shen Tu family clan’s elder?
“Boom!”
As the palm struck the elder’s chest, the elder’s body suddenly shrunk. Even the space around him collapsed. His sternum fractured and his heart and lungs burst. He turned in a mass of blood.
However when the elder’s saber finally slashed down, the Shepherd Boy’s body suddenly disappeared!
He had calmly retreated to a few hundred feet away with peerless gracefulness. His green clothes fluttered as they remain clean from even a single drop of blood. Even his hands were clean of blood, it was as if he had not fought. His hands sparkled like jade, as if he had never struck out with his palm.
The second legendary figure had died!
Several kilometers away, Shen Tu Nantian’s face was pale. How could this happen? Even when the Shepherd Boy was at his peak ten years ago, he was not that strong, even with the Divine Lion’s battle strength!
Ten years ago, although it was said to be a battle between the Shepherd Boy and the Shen Tu Patriarch, the one really fighting was the Divine Lion. The Shepherd Boy was only playing a supporting role.
Back then, the Shepherd Boy had definitely not been a match for the Shen Tu Patriarch.
As for the Divine Lion, it was a sacred beast owned by the Nether World Desolate God. It did not have any relations with the Shepherd Boy as it was just lent to him.
Hence, Shen Tu Nantian’s impression of the Shepherd Boy’s strength was that it was equivalent to the early stages of Great Emperor.
Shen Tu Nantian would not be afraid of such strength at all, as the Ten Thousand Empyreal King, who had been hiding in the shadows, had already exceeded this realm.
With the support of the great array, this was supposed to be foolproof.
However, the turn of events had gone far beyond his expectations!
The Shepherd Boy was so strong that it was unbelievable!
According to common sense, the Shepherd Boy, at his previous cultivation realm, should not be able to increase his strength this much in the short span of ten years!
Did something happen to the Shepherd Boy in the past decade?
Even if something did happen, Shen Tu Nantian could not understand how the Shepherd Boy was able to completely ignore the Heaven Earth Empyreal Array.
Or could it be just as the Shen Tu family clan’s legendary expert, who had just died, said? That the Shepherd Boy had forcefully gathered his strength in order to break through the shackles of the Heaven Earth Empyreal Array. If so, then every strike of his would expend a great deal of energy, weakening him at a rapid pace!
If this was true, then they were bound to win if they dragged the battle out!
However, at this moment, the Shen Tu family clan’s legendary experts before him were all lacking confidence. The Shepherd Boy was too terrifying. He had attacked twice, and both the attacks had killed one of the Shen Tu family clan elders!
This was also under the restraint and threats of the others. It was as if he could ignore the presence of everyone!
No one dared to speak another word while facing the Shepherd Boy. They were now all silent because the past two times the Shepherd Boy attacked, he killed the two elders that spoke the most.
They had taunted the Shepherd Boy, but were killed shortly after!
“So that is why…” A thousand feet away from the Shepherd Boy, the Ten Thousand Empyreal King had witnessed the two times the Shepherd Boy attacked. His expression turned serious, “You have already grasped the Order of Heaven and Earth. And the Order you have gained insight in, has the ability to manipulate the world’s Power of Desolates, allowing you to ignore the Heaven Earth Empyreal Array…”
