Crackle! Crackle! There was a strange sound of something cracking around them.
Zenith's Ultimate Domain, which was named the Ultimate Blizzard Domain, was continuously expanding and causing all the Ultimate Domains of the innate spiritual kings to become severely crowded. Their Ultimate Domains also seemed to be under the maximum pressure they could withstand, which were about to explode at any second from the pressure. Even the Ultimate Domains of a few lower spiritual kings were splitting from the inside and obvious cracks were showing up.
'No way! How can his Ultimate Domain be close to that of an upper spiritual king?' all the spiritual kings thought wildly to themselves as they were thunderstruck by what was happening right in front of them.
Their astonishment was well justified, though. Becoming a real spiritual king involved the improvement of martial arts skills in two major aspects. One aspect was the Ultimate Domain, while the other was combat power. Between the two aspects, the more important and decisive aspect was, of course, the Ultimate Domain. That was because the promotion of a warrior's Ultimate Domain was often accompanied by the improvement of his or her combat power.
The Ultimate Domain that was burst out by Zenith was almost as powerful as that of an upper spiritual king. It was a clear fact to prove that Zenith would soon become a real upper spiritual king. With that thought, they became frustrated and their courage to fight against Zenith was almost drained away completely. They should not be looked down on for that. After all, no one wanted to risk fighting against a potential upper spiritual king.
Zenith became stronger than them at that moment. Killing him before he could become an upper spiritual king turned out to be a silly daydream for them.
'So, that's Zenith's ace in the hole—he's about to become an upper spiritual king, ' the chief of the Sky Manor thought to herself. She was quite startled as well. Finally, she had realized the real reason why Ricky and Zenith were not intimidated at all when being attacked by the joint forces.
Besides those innate spiritual kings, even the lord of the Imperial Palace of Wildness was reluctant to be Zenith's foe. Only a strong upper spiritual king might have the power to kill Zenith, after all. He, or his subordinates, were definitely not powerful enough to finish the job.
If their attacks failed to kill Zenith, it would be hard for them to imagine how terrible a potential upper spiritual king's revenge would be.
'It seems that, in the future, the Realm of Wildness will be divided and ruled by three different forces.' The chief of the Sky Manor had a further analysis of the situation at hand. She no longer had any more concern for Ricky's safety.
As long as the spiritual kings did not want to be killed, or have their forces suffer great losses, they would definitely retreat before too long.
Boris's face, compared to the shocked expressions of the spiritual kings, couldn't be more depressed and gloomy.
If Zenith used other aces up his sleeve, Boris might not feel quite so gloomy. Nevertheless, among all the tactics, his long-term opponent had used a tactic that had him deeply frustrated.
He had just reached the level of a second-class middle spiritual king, while Zenith was already on the brink of becoming an upper spiritual king. He always wanted to defeat Zenith in cultivation, so how could he accept his rival's apparent success?
'Two months ago, Zenith was just a first-class middle spiritual king!' the array deployer thought to himself. He was less startled than the other warriors, though. 'Is it because the King-slaughtering Array made him gain new insights and helped him eventually make a further breakthrough?'
As he was thinking, he looked at Boris. He seemed to question Boris with his eyes about what their next move should be. They both wondered if they should continue the fight or just leave.
"We should leave now!" Boris's voices rang through the array deployer's mind.
Zenith's extremely powerful attacks caused the joint attacks of all the spiritual kings to suddenly become useless. They could not even hurt Zenith a little bit. Instead, several of them could be seriously injured by Zenith if they continued their attacks.
The spiritual kings, after being intimidated by Zenith, had the intention of dropping out of their joint attacks.
Then, Boris and his sidekicks left.
"Chief, Boris and his men have left, so it looks like everything is settled and we are out of trouble now." Ricky secretly communicated with Zenith through their telepathic link.
"After this battle, I hope that they will be intimidated and will be quiet and avoid trouble from now on, at least for a little while," Zenith responded coldly to the situation in Ricky's mind. At that moment, he was overcome by a murderous intent to kill Boris on the spot.
If it hadn't been for the powerful forces behind the array deployer that Zenith didn't want to offend, he would not have constrained his furious intent and would have torn Boris into pieces.
Seeing Boris and his people depart, the other spiritual kings also slowly withdrew their Ultimate Domains one after another.
"Farewell!"
