The saintess still found it astounding during her last moments despite being mentally prepared. She didnât expect it to come so fast.
âNo!â A few young cultivators screamed, especially her fans.
A supreme beauty was going to turn into a skeleton soon. Her splendor and looks would cease to exist.
âYou!â The monarch turned frenzy at this sight; his fury erupted like a storm.
âIsnât this the expected result? Whatâs there to be angry about?â Li Qiyeâs sword was back on his knees and somehow, the rope had loosened and fell into his grasp.
The crowd shuddered in horror after taking it all in. The rope had no effect on him and his slash was still as dominating as ever.
âAn ancestral treasure had zero effect on himâ¦â One ancestor felt his hair standing on ends. Many of his peers felt the same way.
The masters present would never take the risk of toying with the rope. They werenât confident in breaking free at all, let alone doing it like Li Qiye.
The strongest Eternals here including Central Ancestral Monarch certainly couldnât do it.
âWe swear to never let this go until there is nothing left of you!â The monarch roared while glaring with great hatred.
Li Qiye didnât only kill their disciples and experts but also their successor.
The monarch watched the girl grew up and considered her to be family. Their relationship was strong and now, he had to watch her die in front of him. He wanted to save her but couldnât. The feeling of helplessness fueled his anger and hatred.
âIâll be waiting but your sect doesnât have the power to do so. I can go there and annihilate everything with a single slash.â Li Qiye chuckled and playfully waved his sword.
The crowd became speechless and startled from this nonchalant comment. In this split second, they could actually imagine him doing so - entering the central region while wielding his sword and leaving oceans of blood in his wake. In the end, the entire sect turned into ruins filled with corpses from a single slash.
They eventually regained their wits and shuddered in fear.
âHe can actually do it.â One Eternal didnât question Li Qiyeâs power.
âEveryone underestimated him.â Another ancestor murmured.
âIt is time to send you on your way now. Unfortunately, you all still didnât know what you have done wrong.â Li Qiye pointed his sword at the ancestor.
âWeâve done nothing wrong. No mercy to those who kill a member of our sect, this has nothing to do with right and wrong.â The monarchâs murderous aura engulfed the sky as he retorted.
âNot a bad response.â Li Qiye smiled: âBut you simply donât understand that it is a blessing to the entire world when I donât come out searching for trouble yet your sect dares to provoke me? Thatâs just asking for a massacre.â
âWeâre wasting our breath, letâs fight already!â The ancestor shouted with an ugly expression.
âBoom!â The ground seemingly sank from the impact.
âRumble!â More explosions occurred; even the air started trembling.
People looked up and saw the heavenly kingdom slowly descending. However, its actual speed was incredibly fast. It floated above the monarchâs head for a moment before fusing with him.
The process looked like a lake engulfing over the monarch and took the crowd by surprise.
âBuzz.â The monarch sucked in the water in order to take the kingdom inside.
âBoom!â Once he fully absorbed the power of the kingdom, a flame erupted around him.
The holy light was no longer gentle like before. It became fierce like the most terrible storm and instantly ravaged the world. This, in turn, transformed the monarch into a destructive deity.
Numerous sharp pairs of holy wings grew on his back with enough force to sever the reincarnation cycle and yin and yang. The glowing wings blotted out the entire sky. A slight flap of them created massive tornados.
â108 pairs of wings.â Someone counted the wings made of light behind the monarch.
âThis is a spirit of vengeance, a holy angel that should invincible and comparable to a progenitor. Those wings are immensely brutal.â A well-read ancestor put on a serious expression.
âCan it kill Fiercest?â Someone else asked.
This made people glance at each other. In fact, the crowd knew that the current monarch was terrifying. All of them combined couldnât take him. Even an Epoch Eternal might not be able to match him.
âHard to say.â The strongest Eternal among them couldnât come up with a conclusion.
The problem was Fiercestâs heaven-defying abilities. His devilish sword made him unbeatable from start to finish.
He never used more than a single slash to defeat anyone so far. Thus, they didnât have a good judge of his actual power.
âYou deserve death!â The monarch seemed to be above the nine firmaments. His words turned into thunderous mantras.
Such mighty divinity paralyzed the weaker members of the crowd. The monarch didnât need to do anything else to suppress them.
âDie!â He murderously roared and the 108 pairs of wings behind him started fluttering.
âClank!â They turned into sharp blades and slashed directly downward in order to sentence Li Qiye to death. Each wing slash left behind a terrible scar in the sky.
Moreover, they intertwined with each other and formed an inescapable net. Escaping to the horizon was still useless.
âBoom!â This ultimate move didnât end there. The monarchâs tripod became massive and fell downward in a suppressive manner. The area around Li Qiye turned into a powdery void right away.
âSo strong.â The crowd was astonished. This attack made Reincarnation Mountain City look so tiny in comparison. The whole mountain range was on the verge of collapsing.
Weak disciples fell to their knees, unable to get up because of the pressure.
âThis attack has the power of an Epoch Eternal.â An Eternal analyzed the attack.
