Chapter 562: The Old Demon King is Quite the Scoundrel
An extremely violent and powerful mental fluctuation was released from Ace's pupils.
This power affected reality, turning the vivid world black and white, while lightning bolts continuously swirled in the air.
The earth shook, and strange phenomena occurred in succession.
Under the sudden eruption of this power, Uchiha Sasuke froze in place, feeling his body unable to move for an instant; Ace's figure magnified infinitely, and his heart pounded violently, as if under a Mount Tai Press.
"What is this power!" Sasuke exclaimed in horror.
Without giving Sasuke time to react, Ace used his last bit of strength and shouted:
"Fire Fist!"
His right arm was wrapped in flames, all his power gathered into his fist, and he slammed a punch toward Sasuke's chest.
Splat!
This happened in an instant; Uchiha Sasuke wanted to dodge but it was too late, and he could only watch helplessly as his chest was pierced through, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
At the same time, the suppression of the Conqueror's Haki gradually disappeared.
Ace had his heart pierced, and Sasuke had his chest punched through; neither of them would live much longer.
"That power just now was Conqueror's Haki!" Ace realized only then that the awakening of this power was very similar to the Conqueror's Haki that Old Man Whitebeard had spoken of.
In the Great Pirate Era, besides Devil Fruit abilities, Haki is the most primary form of combat.
Haki is divided into Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, and Observation Haki.
No one knows which of the three-color Haki is stronger or weaker.
Because no matter which color of Haki one cultivates to the peak, one can become a top-tier powerhouse.
Among them, Conqueror's Haki is the rarest, rumored to be awakened only by those with the qualifications of a king.
The probability is less than one in ten million; those in the entire Great Pirate Era who possess Conqueror's Haki can be counted on one's fingers.
Conqueror's Haki can suppress opponents with just a gaze.
A master of Conqueror's Haki can even use this power to affect reality, intimidating one hundred thousand troops alone, unmatched.
In the face of the power of Conqueror's Haki, numbers no longer have an advantage.
However, the essence of Conqueror's Haki is a combination of a king's aura and mental power, which can be considered a type of Transformation.
Precisely because of this, in a desperate situation, the awakening of Conqueror's Haki happened to break through Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan genjutsu.
Uchiha Sasuke did not know of the existence of Conqueror's Haki and did not immediately come up with a way to respond.
At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke's chest had already been pierced through, his breath weak, but he still asked:
"Why, what on earth is this power?"
Ace clutched his heart and said with difficulty:
"This is the power of bonds; I have never fought alone."
"Bonds, bonds, it's always bonds!"
"Ah!"
"Damn it!"
Uchiha Sasuke roared; he had already decided to walk toward hell alone, abandoning friendship to face this endless sin.
But now, he was defeated by bonds again!
Finally, due to his severe injuries, Uchiha Sasuke died on the spot.
Ace was no better off, lying flat on the ground; with his heart pierced, he wouldn't live much longer either.
Although he didn't lose this duel, he didn't win either.
"In this duel, Chat Group member Fire Fist Ace is the winner."
The voice of the Chat Group rang out, finally judging that Ace had won the match.
Although both were severely injured, Uchiha Sasuke had died first, while Ace was still hovering at the gates of Guimen Guan, not having fully entered.
"Ding, match reward triggered, obtained divine artifact Kusanagi Sword."
"Ding, match reward triggered, obtained Otsutsuki Indra bloodline!"
"? This!"
Ace was confused, and in the next second, he returned to his seat in the spectator area.
"Tsk tsk, Madara, your next life just had its gear looted." The Old Demon King teased.
"Demon King, looting gear, you understand this too?" Xu Que said.
Hearing this, the Old Demon King said proudly:
"Of course, when I was young, I soloed the entire history of knights; every single knight without exception turned into my watch."
"This old geezer." Morgana said.
Uchiha Madara said with a cold face:
"What does that have to do with me? But it really is a disgrace to the Uchiha clan."
"Also, don't think that this is the power of the Uchiha; that Er Zhuzi didn't even use one percent of the Sharingan's power."
"Cough cough, the senior is right." Ace rubbed his head.
He still respected the old and loved the young; Madara was older than him, so whatever he said was the truth.
"But Ace, what was that ultimate move you suddenly released at the end?" Ye Fan asked.
"I'm not very clear either; it's a type of power belonging to Haki. What I awakened is the power of Conqueror's Haki. This Haki uses the eyes as a medium to release high-intensity mental power to intimidate the enemy." Ace explained.
"Haki? Conqueror's Haki, not bad." Ye Fan gave a thumbs up.
"In short, it's a mental attack technique." Xiao Shi said.
To the side, Nvwu Wangda, Thanos, and Stark stood together.
Nvwu Wangda was completely bewildered, unable to understand a word.
The experience in this Virtual Space is as fantastical as a dream.
Tony saw this and said:
"You'll get used to it, Witch sister; you'll be fine once you've seen more. When I first arrived, I also felt it was like a fantasy, but look at how well I've adapted now."
"..." Wanda.
"Does anyone else need to use the Virtual Arena?" Yan Shuangying's voice came through.
"Wanda, you're a newcomer, go give it a try; you might find a surprise," Tony said.
"No, no, no, I'm not good at fighting," Wanda hurriedly refused.
"How is that possible? I've read the Script. Wanda, you're the existence who can tear Thanos apart with your bare hands. Believe in yourself," Tony urged.
"..." Thanos was speechless.
This Stark always drags him into it.
He keeps bringing up things that haven't even happened.
Wanda chose to ignore Tony; watching the show and eating melon is fine, but fighting is out of the question.
"Second Brother Xu, why don't you try?" Ye Fan said upon seeing this.
Xu Que looked toward Xiao Shi at the side and said:
"Shi Laoliu, you try."
Xiao Shi shook his head and said:
"An Lao Liu, you go."
Anlan waved his hand and looked at Wang Wu, saying:
"Sword Immortal Wang, you come."
Wang Wu looked at Han Li, but Han Li stepped back and disappeared directly from the Virtual Space, running away.
"Truly a coward. Morgana, you go," Wang Wu said.
"Screw you, I, the Queen, don't have time. Baiyue, you go," Morgana said.
As a scientist, Baiyue naturally wouldn't engage in fighting and killing, so he pushed it onto the philosopher Ming Wang.
Ming Wang passed it directly to the clever Feng Baobao, and Feng Baobao revealed a look of wit and passed it to Tushan Yaya.
In the end, after pushing it back and forth like this, it reached Yuwen Tuo.
Just as Yuwen Tuo wanted to switch people, he discovered that everyone was waving their hands in unison, all turning away.
Only Ancestral Witch Houtu, Qing'er, the two super big shots, and Xuanzang Sheng Seng remained.
"Xuanzang Sheng Seng, how about it?" Yuwen Tuo said slowly.
"How about we have a sparring match?" Xuanzang said gently.
"..., forget it, forget it."
Yuwen Tuo shook his head and said:
"Everyone, can we just give up?"
"Brother Yuwen, the atmosphere has been built up to this point, it can't end like this, right?" Ye Fan said.
"Exactly, have a fight. There might be a surprise," Morgana said.
"Uh... alright, my Xuanyuan Sword hasn't been unsheathed for a long time," Yuwen Tuo nodded.
