“Sea Serpent King, die!” The voice of the Undying Serpent was filled with malice and coldness.
The black water sword moved with incredible speed, piercing through the deep blue crystal armor of the Sea Serpent King, aiming for his heart.
At the critical moment, the Sea Serpent King twisted his body slightly, narrowly avoiding the fatal strike.
Although the black water sword missed the Sea Serpent King’s heart, it still pierced through his body.
The pain made the Sea Serpent King let out a fierce roar, opening his massive mouth towards the Undying Serpent’s Spirit Core.
A vast deep blue torrent surged through the void, violently attacking the Undying Serpent’s Spirit Core.
The Undying Serpent’s Spirit Core dared not confront it head-on and transformed into a streak of black light, breaking through the void and shooting away into the distance.
“Sea Serpent King, just you wait. Your body will be mine sooner or later!” came the sinister and venomous voice of the Undying Serpent from the distant sky.
The massive body of the Sea Serpent King swayed in the air, but it was too late to give chase.
“Damn old thing!” The Sea Serpent King grumbled in annoyance as he swallowed the Undying Serpent’s gallbladder.
After swallowing the gallbladder, the Sea Serpent King’s body shrank, transforming into a human form. He then took a step and appeared beside Leo.
“That old thing got away,” the Sea Serpent King said with a grim expression.
“It’s fine. That old thing’s lifespan is nearing its end, and now without a body, if he can’t find a suitable serpent body to possess, he won’t last long,” Leo replied, his gaze falling on the Sea Serpent King’s chest.
At this moment, there was a large bloody hole in the Sea Serpent King’s chest.
The hole was black, with eerie black law runes continuously eroding the surrounding flesh.
“The power of dark laws?!” Leo’s eyes narrowed.
The Sea Serpent King nodded solemnly. “That old thing has lived long enough to comprehend some of the power of dark laws, though he’s not very proficient yet.”
Human cultivators and beasts can grow by absorbing the power of heaven and earth and comprehending its laws after advancing to the Spirit God realm or Demon Saint realm.
Absorbing spiritual energy is easy, but comprehending heavenly laws is not.
As the Sea Serpent King and Leo conversed, countless golden sword lights suddenly rose between heaven and earth.
Turning to look, they saw that the battle between Golden Spear and East King was also nearing its end.
Golden Spear raised his golden sword, transforming it into a sky full of sharp sword lights, all shooting towards the heavily injured East King.
The golden sword lights pierced through East King’s body, causing it to explode entirely. Only his Spirit Core escaped, but the sword lights pursued relentlessly.
“Ah! I will perish with you!” East King’s Spirit Core went mad, charging frantically towards Leo and the Sea Serpent King.
Golden Spear flashed in front of Leo and slashed down at East King, who intended to self-destruct.
East King’s Spirit Core exploded into countless blood-red light spots.
In the sky, the dazzling golden light on Golden Spear’s sword receded, restoring calm over the entire palace.
Watching East King’s Spirit Core being shattered by golden sword light, cultivators from various dynasties and sects on the worship square were left in a daze.
Thus, all five Spirit God realm experts of the Galactic Dynasty-Emperor, South King, East King, West King-were slain. Only North King’s Spirit Core escaped, but it posed no threat.
Today, the Galactic Dynasty was destroyed!
After shattering East King’s Spirit Core with one slash, Golden Spear flashed back to Leo’s side.
On the worship square, everyone gazed with deep respect and fear at the three figures in mid-air.
The Galactic Dynasty had stood for three thousand years; today it was utterly destroyed.
Leo unfurled a scroll and retracted Golden Spear. Then he stood with his hands behind his back, scanning the worship square with his gaze.
Below, no one dared meet Leo’s eyes; thousands of powerful figures from various factions all lowered their heads.
“From today onwards, there is no more Galactic Dynasty,” Leo’s voice rang out calmly.
The worship square fell silent; everyone’s heads lowered even further.
“From today onwards, north of Moonset Sea will be under the rule of my Seven Stars Sect. Does anyone have any objections?” Leo asked coldly.
On the worship square, everyone’s bodies trembled involuntarily before responding in unison, “We have no objections.”
At this moment, after Leo displayed sufficient strength, no one dared oppose him.
In this cultivator’s world where strength reigns supreme, facing someone capable of killing several Spirit God realm experts, how could they dare defy him?
Moreover, under the Galactic Dynasty’s rule, they were governed; now they merely had a new master.
“Very well.” Leo nodded in satisfaction. After pondering briefly, he continued, “Leaders of forces within our sect possessing three or more half-step Spirit God realm experts step forward.”
After Leo’s words fell silent for a moment on the worship square, seven figures flashed forward.
Among these seven figures was Blaze Drake, sect master of Solitary Sun Sword Sect.
“Our sect now appoints you seven as helm bearers. All countries and major forces within Galactic Dynasty’s jurisdiction will be divided among you for management,” Leo announced loudly.
With Galactic Dynasty fallen, without management it would become scattered. Given Seven Stars Sect’s current situation, they couldn’t possibly control all dynasties and forces north of Moonset Sea previously under Galactic Dynasty’s rule; thus selecting seven forces for proxy management made sense.
“Yes, Lord Leo.” The seven standing below responded in unison with joy on their faces at Leo’s words.
Leo nodded again before speaking once more: “Our sect doesn’t like leaving loose ends; who would like to help clean up?”
These words caused all seven leaders’ bodies to tremble slightly.
All seven present were either sect masters or dynasty rulers with deep scheming minds; how could they not understand what Leo meant?
Although this extraordinary young man had directly slain four Spirit God realm experts including Galactic Dynasty’s emperor himself, there would undoubtedly still be many loyalists within its royal family after standing for so many years.
A bloody battle was inevitable; this wasn’t an easy task by any means.
“Lord Leo, I volunteer!” Just as six others fell silent momentarily, Blaze Drake gritted his teeth before stepping forward respectfully and speaking up first among them all.
Seeing Blaze Drake take his initiative, Leo couldn’t help but glance at him several times.
Judging solely by appearance alone, Blaze Drake didn’t seem like someone ruthless or bloodthirsty.
“We’re all willing to serve Lord Leo!” Seeing Blaze Drake step forward first, the remaining six hurriedly echoed.
Blaze Drake looked at Leo, solemnly saying, “Lord Leo, to be honest, the sect master of Spiritwater Sect was someone I admired greatly as my Dao companion. Spiritwater Sect never failed in their tribute over centuries yet met such an end, so I promise I won’t disappoint you!”
“Good, I leave this matter to you then.” Leo felt moved, inwardly nodding approvingly.
