Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 557: Chapter 550: Preparation

TAP! TAP! TAP!

The seemingly soft but incredibly heavy footsteps were so clear amidst the chaos, it was as if even the natural vibrations and sound waves dared not mask their sound.

Yukun’s massive, god-and-demon-like body slowly passed through the smoke, coming to a stop in front of Hui Ming.

"Welcome back."

Hui Ming placed a hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and spoke to Yukun in a gesture of respect.

’The Nightmare Bloodline... As expected, he is the first of the Primordial Ancestors to break free. Does this mean our plan has already succeeded?’

"However... who gave you the courage just now to speak to me in such a disrespectful manner?"

Yukun looked at Hui Ming and spoke flatly. At the same time, he slowly extended his palm.

BZZZZZ!!!

In the next moment, Hui Ming’s pupils constricted violently. His entire body seemed to freeze solid, as if caught in a tremendous vice, with all the air and nutrients being slowly squeezed out of him.

And he had almost no power to resist.

’Hmm?’

Just then, Yukun’s expression shifted. He saw a great deal of gray smoke surge from Hui Ming’s body, as if threatening to completely engulf him.

At the same time, he could clearly sense a powerful and familiar will descending upon Hui Ming’s body.

’This is...’

Yukun slowly withdrew his hand, retracting his near-terrifying power.

"Yukun. It’s been many years."

A voice, completely different from Hui Ming’s, emanated from his body.

Hearing this voice and sensing the familiar will, Yukun’s eyes narrowed slightly. He slowly placed a massive hand on his chest and bowed to Hui Ming’s body. "I greet you, Great Existence, the Eternal Nightmare."

Then, he slowly raised his head and asked "Hui Ming," "You seem to be in a good state. What is the current situation?"

"My state is not good. I have not yet fully escaped, and our time to speak is limited, so I will be brief."

...said the will of Doctor Nightmare that had descended upon Hui Ming.

"Our plan was not a complete success, but it was not a complete failure either. You are the first group of King Level existences to be released. The current era is vastly different from before."

"You can learn about these things in time. What I want to tell you is that *they* have set their sights on this place once again."

"I can clearly feel Them approaching. The eyes that peer from the darkness are growing ever clearer."

"As one of the few who have survived from the time of the Ancestral Land, who has experienced all the changes and knows all the secrets, you should be well aware of what that means."

Doctor Nightmare said slowly.

"Them..."

At these words, Yukun’s pupils constricted violently. His towering body actually began to tremble. The memory, buried deep in his soul and impossible to forget, surged forth once more.

Chaos, slaughter, possession, destruction, plunder...

Their once-beautiful homeland was reduced to scorched earth. They were forced to flee, and in doing so, they shouldered a curse that could never be erased: the betrayal of their world.

"Weren’t we told that it was absolutely impossible for those beings to find this place?!"

Yukun said in a low voice.

"To humans, we are incomprehensible beings, and thus difficult to fathom. But to us, they are the same. Therefore, we no longer have the time to carry out our plan slowly."

Doctor Nightmare stated flatly.

"Are you suggesting... we abandon this world in exchange for our continued escape?"

Yukun asked.

"The specific implementation can be discussed later. The priority right now is to awaken the powers sleeping within the Seals as quickly as possible. And the greatest obstacle to this... is humanity."

Doctor Nightmare said.

"Human heroes? With our reappearance in the world, I fear we have already triggered a backlash from the world’s will. Those annoying fellows have probably descended upon the world once more, haven’t they?"

Yukun said with a frown.

"Actually, I used a special method to temporarily break the world’s will’s blockade. For a short time, no true ’heroes’ have appeared. Right now, the greatest enemy you must face is likely... ordinary humans."

Doctor Nightmare said.

"Those feeble ants?"

Yukun asked, bewildered.

In the era they ruled, humans were nothing more than livestock, even lower than servants. Besides possessing intelligence, they were no different from other animals.

They didn’t even hold the Ancient Heroes in high regard, not even considering them true enemies of the Celestial Beings.

Their enemy, from beginning to end, had always been one and the same: the will of this planet and its entire, vast natural system.

And now, Doctor Nightmare was telling him that their opponents were the very same ordinary humans they had once regarded as ants?

"Times have changed. Not long ago, from within that once-feeble race, an existence was born who shattered the shackles of life."

"We, too, once lived through that era. You know the history. You should know what that means."

"Because of that one single individual, this planet’s level of civilization will rise by an entire tier. And they will truly become a race capable of rivaling us."

"Not even the Primordial Ancestors were able to truly break through that third shackle—that chasm-like barrier."

Doctor Nightmare said.

Hearing this, Yukun fell into a deep silence.

"We don’t have much time left. We must take advantage of this moment to complete our plan."

"Next, the first thing to do is allow the Ancestral Level to descend upon this world once more. You and Bi Qiu must show your true strength. Whatever conflicts existed between our clans before, we are now on the same side."

"Alright, my time is short. The owner of this body is my Deputy in the outside world. He will act on my behalf to spread my will."

Doctor Nightmare said slowly.

Without Doctor Nightmare personally intervening, Hui Ming alone could never have truly suppressed the ferocity and tyranny of a King Level existence, especially one of these Ancient True Kings.

Then, Hui Ming’s eyes trembled. A wisp of gray mist detached from his body and quickly vanished into the void.

Hui Ming’s expression returned to normal.

He stared at Yukun before him, his eyes filled with a mixture of shock and uncertainty.

As a Descendant born in the new era, he could not truly comprehend the formidable power of these Ancient True Kings.

It was the terror of having one’s life completely in the hands of another—a feeling he had never experienced, not even when facing the man in the black robes.

A power as deep and vast as the abyssal ocean.

"Where is Bi Qiu?"

Yukun looked at Hui Ming and asked slowly.
