The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6712

Never before had such oppressive silence settled over Black Abyss Valley.

The golden heavens still churned overhead. A pillar of light rising from Divine Radiance Palace pierced the sky like an eye of heaven watching the land below.

Aureon had not yet appeared at the valley entrance, but the pressure of a Grand Zenith Immortal was already rolling toward them like a physical force. Even from more than a hundred miles away, it made every Demonic Cultivator's heart tremble.

The stone table in the council hall was surrounded by Jared's group and Black Abyss Valley's leaders. Jared, Skylar, Josephine, Gwendolyn, and Master Veridian were all there, and not one person at the table looked optimistic.

The white-haired elder sat in the main seat, gnarled fingers clamped around the armrests until his knuckles looked like bare bone.

His lips moved, but no words came.

The blood-robed woman's face was white as paper. The composure she had shown earlier was gone, replaced by naked fear.

"It's confirmed."

A young Demonic Cultivator rushed through the doors without even announcing himself. Tension pitched his voice several notes higher. "Aureon Suncrest has left Divine Radiance Palace. He's coming straight here!

"He's moving extremely fast. At his current level, he'll be here within an hour!"

The hall went silent. The air itself seemed to freeze.

"An hour..." The sinister-looking man swallowed hard, his voice hoarse. "What... what do we do?"

"Why are you panicking?"

A burly faction leader slammed the table, forcing confidence into his voice. "Black Abyss Valley has a natural barrier of demonic energy and a grand defensive array laid down by generations of our ancestors!

"Even if Aureon has become a Grand Zenith Immortal, breaking those defenses will take time. If we hold here, he may not—"

A dull boom rolled in from the valley entrance before he could finish.

It sounded like a giant hammer striking a cliff, or thunder exploding directly overhead. The vibration made everyone's heart lurch.

Every head turned toward the valley entrance.

A second impact followed.

This one was louder and heavier, strong enough to make the floor tremble beneath their feet.

Then came a third.

A fourth.

A fifth.

Each boom sounded closer than the one before it, and with each one, the faces inside the hall grew paler.

"Report!"

Another Demonic Cultivator stumbled through the doorway, his legs so weak he nearly fell over the threshold.

His voice was on the verge of tears. "The... the demonic barrier at the entrance... Aureon Suncrest destroyed it with one punch!"

"What?!"

The burly leader shot to his feet so violently that his chair toppled over with a harsh crash. "The barrier is gone? What about the defensive array?!"

"The core of the first layer... already cracked!" The messenger's voice rose almost to a shriek. "Aureon... only threw one punch!"

Every voice in the hall died at once.

Silence sat on their chests like a boulder and made every breath difficult.

The demonic barrier and defensive array were the foundation that had allowed Black Abyss Valley to survive. The Demonic Cultivators had spent centuries building their refuge around those natural and constructed advantages.

Now a man who had only just entered Grand Zenith Immortal was tearing them apart with a handful of punches.

So this was the power of a Grand Zenith Immortal.

Boom!

At the sixth impact, the entire valley shook.
