#507 - Chapter 507 Ascension Failure
"Long time no see, old friend!"
Although Han Xuan's tone when communicating with the Night King was no different from that of old friends meeting, the Night King on the other side clearly didn't think so.
"Han Xuan, you damned old bastard!"
"Give me back my son's life!"
With a deafening roar, the Night King propelled his massive body, lunging towards Han Xuan like a Titan.
It must be said that, driven by hatred, Han Xuan successfully attracted the Night King's animosity.
At this moment, the Night King couldn't care less about his surroundings, only wanting to crush the old human in front of him into pieces.
A large amount of condensed spiritual energy emitted by the Night King erupted from beneath the ground where Han Xuan was, surged to the surface, and, under the Night King's control, transformed into transparent tentacles, attempting to seize the old man before him.
But unfortunately, as the Principal of the War College, a genuine war god of the Empire,
Han Xuan possessed not only talent in command but also extremely strong personal strength.
Therefore, after observing the Night King's attack methods, Han Xuan jumped up almost without hesitation, aiming the longsword in his hand at his feet.
Like the most precise instrument, Principal Han Xuan's every movement was extremely perfect.
The moment he swung his longsword, the eyes of the entire world couldn't help but gather on him.
"Swish!"
With a flash of light, Han Xuan, clad in golden armor, landed on the ground once more.
And all those transparent tentacles that had tried to grab him turned into nothingness, transforming into ordinary spiritual energy, completely dissipating into this world.
This seemingly ordinary strike, though it didn't look difficult,
in reality, contained enough weight to make ninety-nine percent of combat-type lords shrink back.
Because the more proficient they were in combat, the more they could understand just how terrifying Han Xuan's actions had been!
"Hahaha, Night King, I beg you, don't be so petty!"
After landing, Han Xuan reversed his previous cold and stern demeanor in front of the students, becoming jovial and grinning.
"Even if I killed one of your sons, you shouldn't hold such a grudge against me, right?"
"Look at what you've done to this world!"
After saying this, Han Xuan turned and sprinted away, like a sharp arrow.
There was no choice; he had to escape.
The Night King, completely enraged by Han Xuan, had now transformed his form.
The previously enormous, Titan-like figure had shrunk to the size of an ordinary person in just a few moments.
However, in his shrunken form, he wielded a transparent longsword made of pure spiritual energy.
But it was this form of the Night King that forced Principal Han Xuan, with his incredibly rich combat experience, to flee.
Because....
Swish!
After closing in on Han Xuan, the Night King, relying on his terrifying speed, directly swung the sword in his hand.
Although Han Xuan dodged in time, ducking his head so that the sword only grazed his scalp,
this sword still unleashed its terrifying power upon the world without reservation.
Those invisible sword energies, like transparent grim reapers, detonated everything they passed through!
That's right, not destroyed, but detonated!
Whether they were warriors belonging to Wu Wei's side or warriors belonging to Zhou Li's side, all were blasted into fragments by these sword energies made of transparent spiritual energy.
Even more terrifying was that the things detonated were not just these living beings.
Their armor, the ground beneath their feet, the sky above their heads.
Even....
The space around them was shattered!
With this one sword strike, one-tenth of the space of Zhou Li's core plane was directly turned into pure nothingness because of this attack.
Of course, these so-called "nothingness" would soon return to normal because the Night King's attack itself did not possess true spatial characteristics.
However, this was still a very terrifying strike.
At least, Han Xuan thought so.
"Holy crap!"
Seeing this scene, Principal Han Xuan, who had just escaped from the Night King's clutches, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
He turned his head and said to the Night King, who was frantically chasing him from behind.
"Hey!"
"Night King, you old bastard."
"I don't remember you using this move last time."
"Did you just learn this new attack method?"
"That's right!"
The Night King, in his shrunken form, continued to tear through space to hunt down Han Xuan, saying,
"In order to catch you, you damned little insect, I spent a lot of time, specifically mobilized a large amount of data, and mastered the use of this [Spatial Authority] from the ancient data nexus!"
Hearing the Night King say this, Han Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, the use of Spatial Authority?"
"Hahaha, Night King, it seems that, as I predicted, you and your race are ultimately just failed ascendants."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have said that you mastered the use of Spatial Authority!"
Faced with the human old man's repeated provocations, the Night King became even more furious.
He roared and slashed at Han Xuan with even greater speed.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"We are a genuine ascended race!"
"The greatest ascended race in the entire universe!"
"We are not failed ascendants!"
After speaking, the Night King directly crushed the transparent spiritual energy longsword in his hand, forcibly creating a large area of unstable space.
In this unstable spatial region, ordinary creatures could not survive.
Even the powerful Han Xuan could not move freely in this area.
Therefore, Principal Han Xuan, who had previously been handling things with ease, was forced to stop and confront the powerful Night King head-on.
"Huff...."
However, Han Xuan, who was slightly out of breath, took a few deep breaths but did not show any panic.
On the contrary.
He continued to provoke the powerful Night King before him.
"Really? Night King!"
"Do you really think that you and your race are a genuine ascended race? Do you believe that your race's ascension was not a failure?"
"If that's the case, then I need to ask you a question."
As he spoke, Han Xuan revealed a cruel smile.
"If you really ascended successfully, then why was your son killed by me, a mortal who has no right to ascend?"
"And why, since your son's death, has your race made no technological progress whatsoever?"
Han Xuan's two cold questions directly exposed the Night King's lies.
Their race was an utter failure in ascension!
