Chapter 3935: I'm Here
Everyone saw hope and felt that he would be the one to seize this immortal weapon. The gauntlet greatly improved his success probability.
âBuzz.â The rays from the immortal weapon suddenly intensified after the hand made contact. Though they werenât overly bright, the spectators felt as if thousands of suns were exploding inside their eye sockets. Despair suddenly took over.
âCrack!â They had no idea what was going on before hearing a crack and a groan from the clouds. Righteous Supreme most likely suffered a serious injury and had to let out a cry.
When they could see again, they saw the immortal weapon still pinned on the peak. The great palm, on the other hand, was nowhere to be found.
They could see bloodstains on the peak and some blood dripped down the weapon as well. It became obvious that the supreme had failed.
None commented on the sudden failure. His injuries werenât visible to the crowd but it had to be something serious for him to warrant giving up.
âThe gauntlet failed too?â One high elder murmured. The crack earlier sounded as if the gauntlet had been penetrated.
âNot sure if itâs a full break but it should still be damaged, thatâs why the supreme pulled back.â An ancestor solemnly responded.
âThis weapon is far above the dao lord level, whoever gets it will have everything.â One big shot murmured.
Many agreed with this sentiment. Just the rays alone defeated a supreme protected by a dao lord artifact. It wouldnât be an exaggeration to call it the greatest weapon in the world.
âSo what? No one can control it anyway.â An old ancestor had a more insightful take.
This was indeed the case. Even if someone gained âpossessionâ of it, they wouldnât be able to control it. Its master might be the first one to die to the rays, not the enemies.
âSeems like itâs nothing more than a nice dream.â A king smiled wryly.
âWhat a waste of effort.â Another big shot added.
The top masters present didnât say anything. All of them searched for this mythical weapon for so long now. Some risked their life in the process, hoping to become stronger for personal reasons and for their sect.
Now, it was finally here before them. Unfortunately, they werenât qualified to wield it. Their previous effort was trying to fetch the moon out of the sea.
âWeâre really giving up?â One member couldnât help but ask.
âWhat can we do? If you donât want to quit, itâs right there. Anyone can try to get it.â Another said.
By this point, it became apparent how suicidal it was to try and get it. Righteous Supreme himself was seriously injured.
âNot one soul in this world can take it down?â Some were still unwilling to accept this.
âItâs not over yet.â A big shot from the east mused: âWorldly Immortal might be able to do it.â
Everyone took a deep breath after hearing this title, feeling both admiration and respect.
For the eastern kingdoms, Worldly Immortal was a guardian deity. As long as this cultivator was around, so would their kingdoms.
This was a being capable of forcing dao lords back. No one dared to invade the east afterward. Most importantly, dao lords have come and gone but this being still stuck around.
âHmm, itâs a shame no one has seen him after the generation of Dhyana Dao Lord. I donât think thereâs any event worthy of his presence, not even this.â An ancestor from the east said.
The eastern cultivators started bowing towards the direction of the eight kingdoms while talking about Worldly Immortal.
Despite his hermit nature for millions of years in the Ancient Immortal Kingdom, the eastern inhabitants knew that he would always protect them.
âSure, Worldly Immortal might be able to do it.â Even those from Righteous and Buddha Holy Ground didnât dare to disrespect him. His invincibility has been recognized for a long time now.
Thus, he became the most likely cultivator in West King to obtain this immortal weapon.
âThereâs another person.â Someone from the holy ground shared his opinion.
âWho?â Others asked right away.
He cupped his fist in response: âHis Excellency, our Sacred Lord. Heâll definitely perform another miracle here.â
âSacred Lord Li Qiye.â An expert from Righteous replied: âHmm, I wonder.â
Not long ago, the crowd would say that Li Qiye wasnât qualified as a comparison to Righteous Supreme, let alone Worldly Immortal. This was no longer the case due to his new status.
âI think itâs unlikely.â The eastern ancestor replied: âSacred Lord Li has done some magical things but I donât think heâs stronger than Righteous Supreme.â
In terms of status, he was indeed equal to Righteous Supreme. This assessment wasnât insulting.
âLetâs say that the sacred lord is indeed capable, heâs deep in Black Tides right now and canât get here.â A big shot from the holy ground found this regretful.
Li Qiye hasnât shown up since his trip to the inner region. Some thought that he was dead there.
âHmph, I donât buy it. If Righteous Supreme canât do it, neither can he.â A crowd member snorted.
No one else dared to express this opinion.
âDid someone say my name?â Suddenly, a lazy voice could be heard.
