I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Su Lianyun patted Shen Ming on the shoulder, telling him to stay in the academy's grand formation; the hypocritical dean wouldn't force the imperial prince to leave.

A cold smile appeared on the Great Western King's angry face; he actually preferred to see it this way.

"Su Lianyun, do you finally dare to face me?"

"bring it on."

Su Lianyun, carrying his sword, flew into the sky.

"Without a Dharma body, how dare you speak so confidently?"

The Great Western King did not move, but his Dharma body suddenly rose up, continuously growing taller, and his earth-shaking hand grabbed towards Su Lianyun.

The vast clouds evaporated instantly under the giant hand, vanishing into nothingness. Under the clear blue sky, Su Lianyun, without his physical body, appeared frail.

The mighty hand seemed insignificant in comparison.

Until, the sword light appeared.

Su Lianyun unleashed a sword strike, and the Thunder Sword Prison appeared behind him, just as people had witnessed under the Eternal Emperor's sword.

The difference is that Su Lianyun's Thunder Sword Prison carries a terrifying sense of despair, as if it has truly opened up a hell.

Su Lianyun's aura carried a profound loneliness, as if he were nearing death.

With a single sword strike, the earth-shattering hand shattered, and the Great Western King's Dharma body became shallow.

With a single sword strike, the Dharma Body was severed, shocking all around!

"As expected of Senior Brother Su!"

Many people at Eternal Academy were thrilled, as if they could see that amazing figure from back then.

The Great Western King roared, stabilized his Dharma body, and no longer rushed to attack, soaring into the sky.

His face was solemn as he stared intently at the sword in Su Lianyun's hand.

He preferred to believe that Su Lianyun was wielding an imperial weapon rather than that the sword strike was actually performed by Su Lianyun.

"I will not give you the death you desire."

Suddenly, the Great Western King understood and waved his hand.

Eight generals of the Shence Army led their armored soldiers into the sky and surrounded Su Lianyun.

When facing a challenge beyond your level, you must maintain your momentum until the second attempt falters and the third attempt fails.

He was the Great Western King, a king. Even if he went all out to kill him, others would only praise Su Lianyun and be moved by his death.

With his woman present, the Great Western King did not give Su Lianyun a chance.

He wanted to use the Shence Army to wear down Su Lianyun, letting the guy die in frustration and despair.

"mean!"

Nangong Tian admires his senior brother Su the most, and that's what he wants to do.

As a result, Dean Yongheng shut down the great formation, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving.

"This is for the sake of the academy!"

Dean Yongheng's gaze held a warning, reminding Nangong Tian of his position as vice dean.

Nangong Tian looked to his left and right, where the academy's higher-ups were all hesitating and struggling.

Suddenly, Ma Quandao of the Eternal Lineage stood up.

"Why are you getting involved?" Situ Qing asked anxiously.

“Junior sister, I heard about your and senior brother’s plan. Senior brother is respected and has a lot of influence in the academy. But I, Ma Quandao, am also the center of attention in the academy.”

Ma Quandao's face was resolute, and without the slightest hesitation, he soared into the sky.

As he said, he was immediately recognized by people at Eternal Academy.

"It's Senior Brother Ma! He still owes me one hundred Tianyuan!"

"Old Ma!! I thought you were dead!"

"Brother Ma once tricked me by giving me aphrodisiac pills, claiming they were qi-boosting pills! It made me run wildly through the mountains to vent my anger!"

"That bastard Ma peeked at me while I was showering!"

As Ma Quandao himself said, he was indeed highly regarded at the academy...

Ma Quandao nearly fell from the sky, and said irritably, "This is a matter for my Eternal Lineage, it's none of your business!"

Dean Yongheng pursed his lips, letting him enter and exit the academy's grand formation.

Ma Quandao resolutely entered the academy's grand formation and arrived at the sky battlefield filled with deadly intent.

"You're courting death! You dare charge into the formation even from the Third Heaven!"

A general from the Shence Army attacked from above; each general was a quasi-king, only lacking the ability to cultivate a Dharma body.

With the support of military formations, they all possess the strength to besiege the king.

"Hmph, today that kid doesn't need to rely on the Heavenly Origin Divine Skill, I will perform it myself."

Ma Quandao's sword-like eyebrows flew up, and a thick golden light rose from his body, as his domineering primordial spirit rose from within him.

The striking similarity between the primordial spirit and the Dharma body is not a coincidence; it is because Ma Quandao could not obtain the eternal lineage and therefore could not possess a Dharma body.

He took a different approach, thinking that becoming a king did not necessarily require a Dharma body, so he created the Heavenly Primordial Spirit based on the Heavenly Support Technique.

The golden handprint of the primordial spirit struck out, causing the Divine Strategy generals to fall and their horses to tumble. Their battle formation was utterly vulnerable, as easily broken as tofu.

At this moment, Ma Quandao was comparable to a king, exuding a powerful aura.

"The Eternal lineage is full of talented people! What a pity!"

First, Su Lianyun's sword severed the Dharma body, then Ma Quandao supported the primordial spirit.

"Hahaha! It's a pity you're not kings, it's not satisfying at all." Ma Quandao laughed loudly.

"A clown." The Great Western King sneered.

The five generals who were originally attacking Su Lianyun received orders to turn their weapons around.

"careful!"

With the six generals joining forces, they can unleash the full power of the Six Directions Army in the Shence Army's battle formation!

In the blink of an eye, the Shence Army sealed off the entire Maquan Road from all sides, forming a six-sided encirclement.

"kill!"

As the battle formation advanced further, an overwhelming force erupted, and the steel torrent transformed into a king-slaying army!

"Not enough, not enough, still not enough!"

Ma Quandao's golden primordial spirit emitted a blazing red light, which was the burning of his essence and blood.

The primordial spirit rose again, ten feet, thirty feet, fifty feet... and finally became a hundred-foot primordial spirit that was even more remarkable than the Dharma body!

"My God! What kind of supernatural power is this?!"

No one had ever heard of such a divine power that could grant the Three Heavens the strength of a king.

Situ Qing was in tears. She realized that for every ten feet of golden body, one-tenth of her essence blood was burned.

A hundred-foot-tall golden body, burning away all its essence and blood!

"Junior sister, how about it? Compared to senior brother, I'm even better, aren't I?"

Ma Quandao was radiant and full of enthusiasm.

The hundred-foot-tall primordial spirit easily parried the Six Directions Army's attack. As the giant handprint fell, the armored soldiers burst like rubber balls.

However, his slightly overweight body was visibly shriveling up, and death was drawing ever closer.

"Don't grieve for me. Life isn't about living a whole lifetime, but about living through these few moments!"

"It was worth it! I've seen how amazing Grandpa Ma is!"

Ma Quandao swept through the enemy ranks, breaking through the Six Harmonies Army's advance and completely neutralizing the Shence Army!

However, after this ended, Ma Quandao's spirit rapidly contracted, and his body became unstable in the sky, teetering on the verge of collapse.

As he fell, a giant hand of divine essence caught Ma Quandao.

It was Shen Ming. He walked out of the academy's grand formation and caught his senior brother, Ma.

"Hey."

Ma Quandao used his last strength to grin at him before dying.

There was no time for sadness. On the horizon, what was initially just an unusual dark shadow rolled towards them.

As the dark figure drew closer, it became clear that it was an army, a massive, dark legion that seemed to have emerged from the depths of hell.

Their armor was as black as the deepest night, each piece gleaming with a cold, icy light, huge and menacing, fluttering in the gale.

Dragon Army!

Both teams consisted of eight generals, and both were led by a powerful leader.

That's not all; an army from the Pan Yue Dynasty is arriving from various directions.

Divine Might Army!

Dragon Martial Army!

The entire academy was completely silent.
