Monstrous Talent

The encircling momentum was extremely terrifying, with killing intent surging over like a tidal wave. Facing such a formation, Pork Rong actually advanced instead of retreating.

Immediately, the anger in the eyes of the four phantom figures grew even more intense.

"Ignorant junior!"

"To dare face us alone, you are truly too arrogant!"

"Brat! How dare you underestimate us?!"

After coldly snorting, the four of them successively circulated their cultivation bases, unleashing their respective ultimate skills, their eyes filled with killing intent!

"Nine-Layer Profound Ice Palm!"

"Blazing Fire Blade!"

"Great Desolate Thunder-Chasing Hand!"

"Profound Origin Nine-Section Whip!"

The deafening booms shook the heavens and the earth. The four streams of Desolate Ancient power radiated multicolored hues, unexpectedly condensing into physical forms. In an instant, ice and fire intertwined before their eyes, while wind and thunder converged.

That multicolored river formed by the Desolate Ancient power surged madly toward Pork Rong!

In the blink of an eye, it completely submerged him.

Watching this scene, the butcher's assistant observing from afar was so frightened that he retreated continuously, only daring to watch with dread from the sky thousands of miles away.

A few breaths later.

Various powers surged and collided, and rays of profound light began to shoot out from the Desolate Ancient river, like a rising sun about to appear!

"Boom!!!"

The profound light grew increasingly blinding, and the explosive sound pierced straight into the clouds. Everything was swallowed by the dazzling white light!

As the profound light erupted, the sea of sand exploded, and waves of air soared into the sky!

The terrifying shockwave spread for tens of millions of miles. The surrounding earth, which was already in ruins, was completely leveled by the terrifying power.

It was not until the world returned to peace that only endless smoke, dust, and yellow sand were left raging!

Looking at all this, the several phantom figures let out cold laughs.

"Only this much, yet you dared to speak rebelliously in front of us?"

"The juniors of Cloud Planet today truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"This child has no respect for his elders and colluded with the Demon Race, so he cannot blame us for disregarding the affection of our own race."

"Hmph, with us taking action personally, even if we didn't use our full strength, no one in this world can match us. How dared he fight alone? Ending up like this is entirely his own fault; he can't blame anyone else!"

"What a pity, how sorrowful."

Amidst their arrogant comments, the phantom figures showed a hint of sighing.

But whether it was regret or anger, as the smoke and dust before them gradually dissipated, it would not affect their eternal states of mind at all. Life, death, and perishing had long been insignificant to them.

Only the confident smile of controlling everything remained as indifferent as before.

But in the next instant.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the smiles of the few people suddenly froze!

In their line of sight.

A faint silhouette gradually became clearer, looking increasingly familiar. That greasy and sloppy appearance instantly made the phantom figures' faces sink in shock!

After sensing with their divine consciousness, their eyes widened even more.

That person was exactly Pork Rong, whose soul and spirit should have been completely destroyed!

Having taken their combined strike, how did this person seem to be uninjured?

They had truly moved with killing intent. Out of consideration for the myriad lives in the nearby Immortal Realms, they had only used fifty percent of their power. Even so, it was not something a mid-stage Desolate Realm Heaven Transformation cultivator could withstand!

This shouldn't be happening...

The few of them looked at each other in shock, surprise surfacing in the depths of their eyes.

"This!"

Looking at Pork Rong, aside from being covered in dust and having a slight bloody hue on his palms, he had no other injuries on his body.

Seeing that posture, even Jiang Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyes to look closely.

At this moment.

He became increasingly interested in Pork Rong, even beginning to personally use his divine consciousness to investigate.

In the next instant.

A trace of astonishment also flashed through the depths of Jiang Yuan's eyes as he uttered astonishing words!

"So that's how it is..."

"On today's Cloud Planet, you can actually condense such pure Desolate Ancient power, able to withstand even a combined strike from those of the same realm. No wonder you had the confidence to repeatedly push back earlier; you indeed have some talent."

"It is true that Cloud Planet has declined, but you can indeed be considered a promising talent. It's a pity you fell into the evil path and ruined your own future."

As soon as he finished speaking, the several phantom figures were all shaken!

So, the Desolate Ancient power Pork Rong condensed was actually purer than theirs?

Even if it only surpassed their avatars, this was already terrifying enough!

Today's Cloud Planet was far inferior to the past. The power of the Heavenly Dao was almost entirely gone, making it fundamentally difficult to have any useful resources, let alone the existence of so-called fortuitous encounters.

This child must have forcibly reached such a realm relying on his talent.

With such talent, even in the ancient era, he would not be a mediocre person.

He was absolutely an unquestionable genius!

Receiving such praise from Elder Jiang was also well-deserved.

For a time.

The four phantom figures were even more shaken, both surprised by Pork Rong's talent and embarrassed by the failure of their attack.

Attacking together yet failing to take down this child was truly a loss of face!

Crossing two eras, they had truly lived in vain.

If they did not regain their honor today, they would inevitably become a laughingstock for the juniors.

The more they thought about it, the more ashamed and angry they became, and the phantom figures immediately began to shout challenges with sunken faces!

"You junior, you really have something to rely on!"

"However, just as Elder Jiang said, even if you have considerable talent, stepping onto the evil path means there is no way to survive!"

"Just now, we were careless and didn't use our full strength, which allowed you to luckily survive. But if you think you can retreat unscathed today, then you are gravely mistaken!"

"That's right! Even if we only came as avatars, our Desolate Ancient power is not pure enough, and we cannot display our full strength, it is still enough to take you down!"

"Boy, angering us is the biggest mistake of your life, and it will be the last mistake you ever make!"

...

A barrage of harsh scolding rained down, making the corners of Pork Rong's mouth twitch as he listened.

These old seniors, they were really all fucking talents!

Striking first to bully a junior was one thing, and using numbers to their advantage was another. Yet, when they failed to gain an advantage, they actually became angry out of humiliation first.

So, the whole world has to spoil them?

Is it really just that older people have bigger tempers and see everyone else as their grandsons?!

Then let's lay our cards on the table and see who exactly is the grandson!

Seeing the old men begin to circulate their cultivation bases again, Pork Rong no longer had a single thought of holding back. He tightened his belt, pulled out a hemp rope from behind his waist, and charged forward with large strides!

A set of familiar procedures flowed smoothly like water, and all the divine skills he had comprehended from killing pigs on the Shadow Isle were sequentially combined and unleashed!

"Great Grappling Technique!"

"Insolvable Dead Knot!"

"Dashing Salty Pig Hand!"

Moves that were almost identical to the butcher's assistant's had a world of difference in power in Pork Rong's hands!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

With a few instant flashes, Pork Rong's figure was almost impossible to see clearly; an agile fat man was nothing more than this!

After the afterimages disappeared.

The four ancient giant phantom figures were already scattered and tumbling over a distance of thousands of miles!

Some were sent flying and collapsed, unable to get up; some were almost tied up; and others were panting heavily with unknown injuries. Even though there wasn't much of a commotion, the victor had been decided in an instant!

Too fast...

The entire process of his attacks was truly both fast and ruthless!

By the time they reacted, they had all fallen to the ground. After a moment of utter bewilderment, their eyes trembled incessantly, filled with indescribable shock!

"What kind of technique is this?"

"Desolate Ancient power can actually be used like this?!"

"This old man hadn't even seen clearly before almost being captured by him. Why does this child have such methods!"

"Could it be that he has been hiding his strength all along?!"

"In today's Cloud Planet, how could there be such a junior?"

All of a sudden.

The phantom figures fell into complete disarray, fundamentally unable to believe what had just happened.

Their previous confidence was shattered in an instant!

Even though these giants walked out from the ancient era, they could not accept being crushed by a junior like this all at once, much less accept this world-turning gap!

Their states of mind, which had remained unmoved for eons, were now rippling wildly!

How could Pork Rong, who had seemed so ordinary just moments ago, defeat them in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that this junior was already above them?!

This was simply monstrous!

Impossible.

In the current Cloud Star, it was absolutely impossible for such an expert to appear!

In just a few breaths of time.

The phantom projections of the giants felt as if ice water had been poured over their heads. Having luckily escaped and gathered together, they hid beside Jiang Yuan. They could not even bother with their injuries. Gone was their previous arrogant posture, leaving only faces full of shock as they stared intently at Pork Rong.

Watching everything from afar.

The butcher assistants finally let out a long sigh of relief, helpless, bitter smiles appearing on their faces.

"Sigh..."

"I thought these seniors were so powerful, but it turns out this is it?"

"Tell me about it. I even thought the boss might not be their match, but looking at it now, I was overthinking."

"Alas, these old fossils haven't come out into the world for too long. They don't know that times have changed."

"The level of those old seniors is just so-so on our Shadow Island. Yet they were acting so high and mighty, unable to see reality. It's good that the boss crushed their spirit, saving us from them causing more trouble!"

"Yeah, those few aren't a big problem, but the way I see it, the one leading them is probably not simple."

After quietly sighing through voice transmissions.

The assistants all turned their gazes to Jiang Yuan. Seeing that this person's expression remained steady from start to finish, his entire body exuding an elusive aura, they could not help but grow nervous.

Above the vast wasteland.

Pork Rong and Jiang Yuan stared at each other for a long time, their expressions much more severe than before.

That subtle atmosphere made people feel incredibly tense. Even the few defeated phantom projections were too frightened to make a sound without permission. After hesitating a few times, they finally approached Jiang Yuan and bowed in shame.

"Elder Jiang..."

Just as they spoke, Jiang Yuan's hands, which were clasped behind his back, finally slowly fell. He gently raised his left hand to interrupt them.

"It matters not. I will make a move."

Subsequently, Jiang Yuan earnestly gazed into the distance. A trace of regret appeared on his face. In his eyes, which rarely flashed with sharp light, there was only Pork Rong standing against the wind.

"Your innate talent is indeed enough for you to be proud."

"What a pity that geniuses often easily step onto the wrong path, and are always too arrogant to see reality clearly. If you face this seat, no matter how outstanding your talent is, you cannot bridge the gap of eternal ages."

As the soft voice fell, all was completely silent.

That tone, devoid of any ripples, was completely different from the clamoring of the other ancient giants. Between the lines, it was filled with an innate, supreme confidence that made people feel it was incomparable, instantly multiplying the invisible pressure.

At this moment, the momentum of heaven and earth was also triggered.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky became clear and bright.

On the sunlit sea of sand, Jiang Yuan's phantom projection was shrouded in a sacred golden glow. His final question struck directly at the soul like the voice of the Heavenly Dao!

"Are you truly going to protect the Demon Race?"

Seeing such an ancient predecessor with unparalleled demeanor, Pork Rong's eyes darkened.

Whether it was his virtue or his cherishing of talent at the final moment, this ancient mighty figure was unprovokable. Not the slightest bit of excess aura leaked from his body, making him even more extraordinary.

This Elder Jiang was definitely not someone those old men from just now could compare to!

After locking eyes for only a few breaths, Pork Rong's eyes were filled with solemnity.

However.

As a member of Shadow Island, he possessed absolute loyalty and pride. Thinking of the promise he made in front of the Fifth Miss earlier, and thinking of the Mister's demeanor that he had not seen for a long time...

In an instant.

Pork Rong's gaze became many times firmer.

Drawing the butcher knife from behind his waist, he clasped his hands in salute and stepped forward.

"Senior, pardon my offense!"

His clear voice resounded, and fierce winds filled the sky!
