Wu Tian coldly gazed at the "Ultimate" before him. It was an Artificial Human. With the technology of the past, creating such a being was impossible. However, the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, brought about by the Ginseng Fruit Tree, had made their existence a reality.
Wu Tian’s sharp gaze sized up the "Ultimate," as if he could see right through him. After a moment, his eyes returned to their usual calm, and he couldn’t help but sigh. "A hybrid."
"What did you say?" The "Ultimate" was quite displeased, feeling as if Wu Tian’s gaze had stripped him of all his secrets.
"I said you’re a hybrid," Wu Tian replied indifferently.
"You are very powerful. Very powerful indeed," the "Ultimate" said, his initial surprise giving way to excitement. His eyes shone brilliantly as he stared at Wu Tian as if looking at a perfect stepping-stone. "I think in this entire world, only you are worthy of testing the true limits of my strength."
At this moment, Liu Tianji and the others arrived behind Wu Tian, their expressions full of shock. "My Lord, he is no simple foe. His strength resembles the Yuan Force of the Immortal Seekers, yet it doesn’t seem to be Yuan Force, either." The power of the "Ultimate" was enough to leave even them stunned.
Wu Tian chuckled. "Him? He’s nothing but an ant."
Liu Tianji and the others were completely taken aback. How could someone as powerful as the "Ultimate" be considered an ant?
"An ant? You think I’m an ant?" The "Ultimate" overheard Wu Tian’s words and laughed. "I won’t hold that against you, because you have no idea what I’m capable of. To be honest, neither do I."
Then, the "Ultimate" flicked his finger, unleashing the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin"!
Instantly, the swords of all three hundred people present were ripped from their grasp. Even nearby sharp iron objects were drawn into the air, forming a storm of blades that tore through the sky, heading straight for Wu Tian before colliding with his body.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
As each sharp sword struck Wu Tian’s flesh, a shower of dazzling sparks erupted. The sound of the impacts traveled for more than a dozen miles.
Seeing this, Black Eight Horse and the other Monarchs began to laugh.
"Gentlemen, what do you think of my trump card?" Though Black Eight Horse had been in a wretched state just moments before, the arrival of the "Ultimate" and its divine might allowed him to stand tall and speak with renewed vigor.
"Impressive."
"Yes, truly impressive."
"Worthy of the world’s number one power!"
The other Monarchs chimed in with one flattering comment after another, and Black Eight Horse was very satisfied with their reaction.
Wu Tian’s reputation was so great that not a single person on Earth didn’t know his name. If Wu Tian were to lose to the "Ultimate," his grand reputation would become a stepping-stone, cementing the global prestige of Black Eight Horse’s nation.
Yet, after the storm of ten thousand swords had passed, Wu Tian stood there completely unharmed, without a single scratch on him.
"How can this be?" The "Ultimate’s" expression shifted to one of surprise. He never expected that Wu Tian would take his serious attack head-on with nothing but his physical body, without even attempting to dodge.
Standing in the distance, Black Eight Horse and the others witnessed the unbelievable scene. They exchanged incredulous glances, the shock on their faces impossible to hide. Black Eight Horse, in particular, was stunned. The "Ultimate" is an Artificial Human, created by gathering the strongest genetic material of the Human Clan. How could he fail to kill Wu Tian? If the "Ultimate" isn’t human, could it be that Wu Tian isn’t human either?
"American Monarch," the Obba Monarch asked cautiously, his voice trembling with shock, "do you think... do you think your trump card could actually lose?"
The other Monarchs turned to look at Black Eight Horse.
His gaze sharpened. "Impossible," he snorted. "Rest assured, that will never happen."
The other Monarchs nodded.
"Don’t worry," Black Eight Horse said gravely. "The ’Ultimate’ is one of my two trump cards. No one can defeat him."
Of course, this was merely what he hoped. Wu Tian had created far too many miracles. It was possible he could defeat the "Ultimate." But Black Eight Horse still had a second trump card. Therefore, he wasn’t too panicked. He didn’t want to use it, but if the time came, he would have no choice.
"Withstand this one move," Wu Tian said indifferently as he stepped forward. "If you survive, you’re free to go."
"What?" The "Ultimate" was stunned for a moment, then began to laugh. "One move? Are you joking?"
Wu Tian remained silent. He raised a single finger, using it as a sword, and suddenly slashed down toward the "Ultimate." A blade of Sword Qi instantly materialized, cutting a rift across the sky as it shot forward. The terrifying, domineering force left a visible scar in the very fabric of space along its path.
Seeing this attack, the "Ultimate’s" face filled with alarm. His power is so strong... No, my power should be stronger than his! I just haven’t fully unleashed it yet. My body contains the organs of countless powerful experts and famous figures. My power is invincible!
The "Ultimate" clenched his teeth and stepped forward, making no attempt to dodge. "ERUPT! MY POWER!"
His body surged with thunder and lightning as he threw a punch that seemed powerful enough to shatter the heavens, aiming to pulverize Wu Tian’s Sword Qi.
BOOM!
But Wu Tian’s Sword Qi was unbelievably sharp, impossible to block or dispel.
"No!" the "Ultimate" screamed as his body was utterly annihilated by the Sword Qi, turning to ash.
"What?" The other Monarchs were dumbfounded. Even the "Ultimate" had been defeated. What were they supposed to do now?
They all turned to Black Eight Horse, their faces etched with anxiety. "What do we do now?"
"Don’t you have another trump card?"
"Yes, use it! Quickly!"
The other Monarchs begged Black Eight Horse to use his second trump card.
He took a deep breath before looking at Wu Tian again. "Do you really intend to wipe us all out? If I unleash my second trump card, the Earth itself might cease to exist. Even knowing that, are you still determined to conquer the globe and unify it under your rule?"
"Yes," Wu Tian replied.
"Ridiculous! If that’s the case, then we’ll all perish together!" Black Eight Horse sneered, pulling a remote control from his pocket. "There’s only one button here. The moment I press it, it can’t be canceled. Satellite-based nuclear weapons will launch, striking the planet. At the same time, a gravitational tractor comet will pull the asteroid Apophis into an immediate collision course with Earth. When that happens, the Earth will cease to exist, and so will humanity!"
The asteroid known as Apophis was 390 meters wide and bore a name that meant "demon." A nuclear bomb was terrifying enough, but satellite-based nuclear weapons, created with ultra-modern technology, were even more horrifying. A single one could destroy an entire continent.
The other Monarchs were stupefied, never imagining this would be his second trump card. They panicked.
"No, Monarch Black Eight Horse, we can’t! Let’s just give up!"
"Yes, this is too terrifying!"
But Black Eight Horse ignored their pleas entirely. He gritted his teeth and declared, "If I can’t be the one to rule the world, then no one else can!"
