It was a mixture of absolute shock, utter disbelief, and a stupor, as if he had been smashed by a colossal, invisible hammer.
His jaw hung open, wide enough to fit an egg, and his eyes were so wide they seemed ready to pop out of their sockets.
All the mockery, anger, and disdain on his face froze and shattered in an instant, leaving only a blank, bewildered expression.
He felt his understanding of the world, his very pride, get utterly crushed to dust in that single moment by the horrifying, Venerable Level fluctuation.
His body was rigid, as if pinned in place by an unseen force. Only a single thought roared wildly in his mind:
'He isn't a new King?! He... He already has the battle power of a Venerable?! How is that possible?!'
Heaven-Dominating King's forward charge came to an abrupt halt, the urgency and worry on his face instantly replaced by unparalleled shock.
His mouth hung slightly open, and he froze mid-air as if petrified.
