Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 919: Repelling the Divine King with a Single Sword

"Who am I?"

Ye Yun's eyes glinted with faint mockery as he gazed upon the arrogant black-robed middle-aged man. He smiled lightly and replied, "Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know. Don’t you think asking like this is pretty stupid?"

"You!"

The words struck softly yet harshly, dripping with sarcasm, causing the black-robed middle-aged man to quiver in rage.

"Nine Heavens Divine King, this fellow arrived with you. Just who is he exactly?"

The black-robed man was a prestigious Divine King after all. Despite his boiling fury, he restrained himself from striking amid the gathered crowd.

After all, for a mighty God King Expert to assault an Immortal honoring practitioner would tarnish his esteemed name.

"Don’t ask me, ask him."

Emperor Jiuying parted her red lips slightly, cast her gaze downward, her face remaining utterly impassive.

Noting the Nine Heavens Divine King’s refusal to speak, as though some secret linked the pair, the black-robed middle-aged man’s fury intensified.

His icy stare fixed on Ye Yun, flames of anger blazing within, he bellowed, "How dare you, a mere God Venerable Realm cultivator, presume to sit as an equal to the Nine Heavens Divine King?"

"Whether I have the right, it’s not up to you!"

Ye Yun burst into loud laughter.

Gazing at the God King Expert before him, a flicker of pity crossed his eyes.

Among countless Divine Kings, this fool charged ahead recklessly. Clearly, he often backed the Nine Heavens Divine King.

Witnessing my closeness to Emperor Jiuying, jealousy consumed him utterly.

"Thunderbolt Divine King, this brat needs a good thrashing. His tongue is too sharp—go ahead and put him in his place!"

From a distance, a God King Expert uttered coldly.

"Alright then!"

The Thunderbolt Divine King gave a nod, advanced two steps toward Ye Yun, and his Super Divine Dragon Breath dropped instantly from the Divine King Realm to the Fourth Layer of God Respect State.

"Kid, don’t claim I’m bullying you with superior strength. I’ve now sealed my cultivation to the fourth layer of the God Venerable Realm!"

With piercing eyes, the Thunderbolt Divine King declared, "If you can drive me from this pavilion, then you’ll have earned the right to stand equal with the Nine Heavens Divine King!"

"Is it that simple?"

A gentle smile curved Ye Yun’s lips as he slowly unsheathed the Silver Sword from his back.

He now appeared every bit the Sword Cultivator.

This time, wielding the sword felt entirely natural.

Watching the mounting tension between the pair, Emperor Jiuying let out a giggle. "Thunderbolt Divine King, he’s a Sword Cultivator, and his true power surpasses mere fourth layer of the God Venerable Realm. You’d best stay cautious!"

"Thanks for the reminder!"

The Thunderbolt Divine King snorted disdainfully. His frame trembled faintly, unleashing a shroud of azure lightning that coiled around him.

Like writhing spirit serpents, the bolts crackled menacingly, weaving a dense azure lightning barrier across his skin.

Chop!

Ye Yun’s hand rose, delivering a swift sword slash.

A dazzling sword beam, swifter than lightning itself, struck the Thunderbolt Divine King’s chest.

"Such a fast sword!"

The watching Divine Kings caught sight of the blade’s glow, their pupils contracting in unison.

That sword moved with blinding speed!

Even they, with cultivation capped at the fourth layer of the God Venerable Realm, would struggle to evade it.

If they couldn’t dodge, the Thunderbolt Divine King stood no chance either.

The Thunderbolt Divine King’s eyes bulged wide as the sword light descended upon him.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out, shattering the fresh lightning armor woven around him.

In a flash, the Silver Sword connected.

Thud!

Vast power hurled the Thunderbolt Divine King airborne with a single strike.

Mid-flight, he surged his cultivation back to the Divine King Realm, steadying himself in the void while soothing his churning blood.

This strike far exceeded the Thunderbolt Divine King’s expectations!

He suffered no injury.

Yet it left him deeply shaken nonetheless.

Were this white-robed youth at his level, that sword might have claimed half his life.

"Thunderbolt Divine King... lost?"

The nearby God King Experts exchanged glances, shock etching their features.

After all, the Thunderbolt Divine King was a God King Expert—even suppressed to the fourth layer of the God Venerable Realm, he reigned nearly unbeatable at that stage.

Yet this white-robed Sword Cultivator repelled him with one sword alone...

One had to admit, such sword skill was utterly fearsome.

"Argh, it’s driving me mad!"

Before the vast crowd, repelled by a lower-cultivation white-robed Sword Cultivator, the Thunderbolt Divine King seethed with humiliation, rage exploding like countless volcanoes.

At that instant.

A torrent of Super Divine Dragon Breath erupted, unleashing the full terrifying might of the God King Realm.

Every Immortal honoring practitioner on the plaza froze in terror, pinned as if under a colossal peak, rooted in place.

The Divine Monarchs Realm cultivators fared worse, crumpling to the ground, unable to rise.

"You’ve successfully angered me!"

Dark blue light filled the Thunderbolt Divine King’s eyes as he glared coldly at Ye Yun, azure lightning crackling wildly around him.

His hand extended, conjuring a massive blue lightning palm in the sky, which lunged ruthlessly toward Ye Yun.

"This old guy, really has no patience left!"

Witnessing the sight, Ye Yun shook his head inwardly with a cold chuckle.

The Silver Sword in his grasp twisted subtly, poised to strike at any second.

"Thunderbolt Divine King, don’t go too far!"

Emperor Jiuying’s brows arched sharply. A fearsome Super Divine Dragon Breath burst forth, repelling the Thunderbolt Divine King’s pressure. Simultaneously, her perfect jade hand reached out toward the lightning palm.

Boom!

A thunderous blast echoed.

The lightning palm exploded apart in mid-air.

"Nine Heavens Divine King, what do you mean by this?"

The Thunderbolt Divine King demanded, brows knitted.

"You both have already competed, and you lost, so this matter is now over!"

Emperor Jiuying stated flatly.

Hearing Emperor Jiuying’s declaration, the Thunderbolt Divine King nearly erupted in fury.

"Nine Heavens Divine King, what is your relationship with him? Why are you protecting him like this?"

The Thunderbolt Divine King roared in anger.

"You have no right to know! Whoever I associate with, it’s not up to you to comment!"

Emperor Jiuying replied icily.

"..."

The Thunderbolt Divine King’s face stiffened, turning deathly pale in that instant.

He had no desire to clash with the Nine Heavens Divine King.

Once battle began, their ties would shatter irreparably.

Besides, the Nine Heavens Divine King bore a notorious reputation, and in true combat, victory wasn’t assured.

After weighing his options.

Finally, the Thunderbolt Divine King flicked his sleeve with a frigid huff and retreated to his pavilion.

The other God King Experts, having spectated this epic clash, displayed varied expressions...

"Jiu Ying, I didn’t expect you to be so chivalrous!"

Ye Yun smiled faintly, strode forward a few paces, claimed a chair, and lounged back with hands cradled behind his head.

"Fellow Daoist Long Yunzi, I guess I indirectly helped you establish authority, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to sit comfortably!"

Emperor Jiuying laughed softly, gliding over like a perfumed zephyr to settle beside Ye Yun.

From afar.

Beneath the pavilion, a dashing man and stunning woman sat together, chatting lively, resembling celestial figures from a scroll.

On the plaza, countless God Venerable Realm cultivators watched enviously from distance.

Jealousy toward this God Venerable Realm Ye Yun filled every heart.

But envy changed nothing.

Not all possessed the courage to near the Nine Heavens Divine King.

After the uproar stirred by the Thunderbolt Divine King.

No one dared challenge the white-robed youth’s seat next to the Nine Heavens Divine King anymore.

After all, other Divine Kings wouldn’t stoop to test Ye Yun.

Victory would mean little.

Defeat would humiliate them far worse than the pioneering Thunderbolt Divine King.
