Chapter 309: The Position of Number One in the King Realm, It’s Time for Us to Take Turns Sitting in It!

The thunder arrived abruptly and stopped just as suddenly. An elderly figure with white hair and a white beard appeared, with several faint flashes of lightning crackling and vanishing around him.

“Grand Elder, what a coincidence to meet again!”

Mad Spear King waved his hand to put away the Blood Crystal and looked at the elderly figure.

The Grand Elder of the Xu Family Headquarters, a Peak King Realm Cultivator, and the fifth-ranked powerhouse on the King Rankings—Thunder Spear King.

A few days ago, Mad Spear King and Proud Spear King had encountered Thunder Spear King once, but their ideologies clashed, and they ultimately went their separate ways.

At that time, Mad Spear King and Proud Spear King had already begun absorbing the power of the Blood Crystals, while Thunder Spear King was quite cautious. He believed it was impossible for such a good thing to exist in the world and that absorbing Blood Crystals must have some extremely terrifying aftereffect that simply couldn't be detected in the short term.

“There is no need to be so guarded; this old man is not interested in that thing,” Thunder Spear King said indifferently upon seeing Mad Spear King put away the Blood Crystal.

“Is that so?”

“Perhaps you wouldn't say that if you had tried it once.”

Mad Spear King smiled.

Power is something every Cultivator craves and pursues relentlessly, just as Mortals chase fame, fortune, and money.

When an Opportunity to gain fame and a massive amount of money quickly is placed before you, and all you have to do is reach out to take it, few people can resist the temptation.

Once or twice might be possible, but what about ten or a hundred times?

The temptation of the Blood Crystal was like a demon whispering constantly in one's ear, coaxing and leading one to absorb it.

After using three King Realms as guinea pigs and discovering no obvious aftereffects from absorbing the Blood Crystals, how could Mad Spear King and Proud Spear King restrain themselves?

If he relied on his own cultivation, Mad Spear King would never have had the chance to possess King Rankings-level strength in his lifetime.

But after absorbing the Blood Crystals, he already possessed such power.

Once he absorbed the one in his hand, his strength would reach an even higher level.

“Why has the Grand Elder come here?” Mad Spear King asked.

“Just passing through.”

Thunder Spear King's expression was calm.

His perception was greatly suppressed, but he had vaguely sensed powerful fluctuations in this direction and came to take a look, not expecting to run into old acquaintances again.

“That's perfect then, help me test my strength!”

Mad Spear King grinned, and a long spear appeared in his hand.

Thunder Spear King narrowed his old eyes. Although Mad Spear King was arrogant, he had never spoken to him like this in the past; he seemed very confident now.

Swoosh!

Mad Spear King lunged forward with extreme speed.

Boom!

The battle erupted instantly.

Energy surged, and blood-colored mist churned and rolled back. Facing Thunder Spear King, who was fifth on the King Rankings, Mad Spear King remained at a disadvantage.

Although he was suppressing Mad Spear King and forcing him back repeatedly, Thunder Spear King was inwardly shocked.

As the Grand Elder of the Xu Family Headquarters, he was certainly the strongest among the Elders. In the past, Mad Spear King would have been crushed by him; it wouldn't even have been difficult for him to kill Mad Spear King.

But now, the gap between them had narrowed to such an extent!

Mad Spear King already possessed King Rankings-level strength, even if it was at the bottom of the list!

Thunder Spear King could still suppress him, but it was almost impossible to kill him!

How many days had it been? His strength had actually seen such a terrifying improvement?!

The more Thunder Spear King fought, the more alarmed he became.

Seeing that although Mad Spear King's killing intent was much heavier than before, he still maintained a very clear combat awareness, Thunder Spear King couldn't help but feel a flicker of interest.

If he didn't absorb too much, even if there were aftereffects, would they be bearable?

A thought flashed rapidly through Thunder Spear King's mind.

Boom!

The two quickly pulled apart after a collision. The gap between them was already clear, and there was no need to continue the fight.

“Grand Elder, how is this power?”

Mad Spear King had a face full of arrogance and triumph.

He had used Thunder Spear King to verify his strength, and that genuine, powerful force left him incredibly excited.

Everything was real, not an illusion!

Once he absorbed the Blood Crystal he just obtained, he would be able to surpass Thunder Spear King!

Seeing Mad Spear King so confident because of his increased strength, Thunder Spear King did not speak.

“It seems the Grand Elder is interested but cannot make up his mind. Then you might as well wait and see how strong this King can become after absorbing this Blood Crystal!”

Mad Spear King laughed with full confidence.

Thunder Spear King still said nothing.

Mad Spear King said no more, took out the Blood Crystal, and began to absorb it.

Two days later.

Buzz!

As a powerful fluctuation rippled outward, the aura on Mad Spear King's body showed another significant increase compared to before.

“Hahaha, this is the power!”

“How wonderful, how powerful!”

“This must be how Li Xuanfeng feels. No, Li Xuanfeng is nothing special; even if he Breakthroughs to the King Realm, his improvement speed might not necessarily compare to mine!”

Mad Spear King was immersed in the wonderful sensation of his strength skyrocketing.

“Li Xuanfeng was able to grow strong so quickly surely because he obtained a similar Opportunity. Now he is no longer unique!”

Proud Spear King also laughed from the side.

Li Xuanfeng's terrifying rate of strength improvement had once made them uneasy, but ever since they tasted the sweetness of absorbing Blood Crystals, that unease had completely vanished.

“Previously, only the Peerless King had obtained this kind of Opportunity, making him seem special. But now that Senior Mad Spear King has also obtained such an Opportunity, the Peerless King seems quite ordinary!”

“The Peerless King just had a bit better luck and obtained this Opportunity a step ahead. Now, Senior Mad Spear King's improvement speed is bound to surpass his!”

The three King Realms were also fawning and flattering nearby.

The corner of Mad Spear King's mouth curled up as he looked at Thunder Spear King: “Grand Elder, let's try again!”

After saying that, completely ignoring whether Thunder Spear King agreed, Mad Spear King flashed in front of him.

Boom!

The battle broke out once more.

Unlike the last time when Thunder Spear King had the upper hand, this time the situation was reversed. Mad Spear King firmly held the advantage, and Thunder Spear King was beaten back repeatedly.

In an instant, a thousand moves passed.

Boom!

After the two collided, they pulled apart.

“Hahaha, how is it, Grand Elder?”

“Join forces with this King and let's purge all the Yao Race in this space!”

“With the three of us working together, we can reach the limit of the King Realm at the fastest speed. At that time, what will the Spirit King even matter!”

“The position of number one in the King Realm, it's time for us to take turns sitting in it!”

“Even that once-unreachable Venerable Realm will be within our grasp!”

Mad Spear King was passionate, his expression arrogant.

Thunder Spear King's expression shifted constantly. It had to be said that witnessing firsthand the exaggerated improvement brought by Mad Spear King's absorption of the Blood Crystal left Thunder Spear King incredibly shocked.

With Mad Spear King's talent, the probability of him reaching King Rankings-level strength in his lifetime was pitifully small!

Yet, by relying on the Blood Crystals, he had achieved it easily!

Originally, Mad Spear King would have been crushed in front of him, and he could have killed him without much difficulty. Now, he had already surpassed him, the fifth on the King Rankings!

Mad Spear King's strength could already be compared to the fourth-ranked War Puppet King, no, even the third-ranked Candle King!

Among the Human Race King Realms, the only ones above him were the second-ranked Chaotic Blood King and the first-ranked Spirit King.

This rate of improvement seemed even more exaggerated than that of the Peerless King, Li Xuanfeng!
