Chapter 4104: Entering
Translator: ImmortalEmperorBao
The tiny rays flew towards the black maelstrom, looking like long threads. They spread out and began outlining the entire thing.
âLi Qiye!â Other spectators became startled.
âWhy is he joining in?â They were puzzled at his involvement.
After all, he was an enemy of Armament Mountain and had killed members from there. He had no reason to help them right now.
In fact, others would kick a horse while itâs down. This was the best time to take down Armament Mountain and forever eliminate a problematic enemy.
However, his target was the maelstrom. This could only be interpreted as him aiding Armament Mountain.
âThe guy is truly unpredictable.â A big shot commented. His peers agreed with him.
He was special since he dared to offend the behemoths without any hesitation. Now, no one else wanted to help Armament while he went against the tides. His actions had no logic to them.
Eventually, the tiny rays fully outlined the maelstrom.
At the start, powerful ancestors could only see the clouds and the maelstrom. But now, with Li Qiyeâs rays, they saw a different image of an ancient beast.
It resembled several animals - a whale, serpent, gluttonous dragon. All in all, it possessed too many defining characteristics. When combined together, it was something never seen before.
âWhat is that?â The spectators became curious.
The image exuded a primal aura as if it was a real beast, not a painting made out of rays. Could this thing be hiding behind the maelstrom?
âThis is the thing trying to destroy Armament?â Someone speculated.
âWhere did it come from?â Another wondered.
Since this thing was powerful enough to render Armament helpless, it should be extremely famous. However, no one here had a clue.
âIt has to be from a forbidden zone.â One more said.
People exchanged glances. They had a shallow understanding of the creatures in these forbidden zones. Only dao lords were privy to this type of information.
âBuzz.â Space suddenly trembled as if some unknown power was activated.
The rays outlining the maelstrom suddenly came together to form a blinding radiance. It looked like a golden badge with complicated dao runes placed in a particular manner. The complexity of the runes couldnât be deciphered by the spectators in a short time.
âOkay, time for me to get some exercise.â Li Qiye got up and stretched.
âIâm counting on you, Young Noble.â Yingxue bowed her head.
Li Qiye took one step forward and appeared right next to the black maelstrom.
âWhat is he doing?!â One spectator shouted.
âIs he about to take the maelstrom head-on?â Everyone started speculating.
Remember, even the intents left behind by two dao lords empowered by the foundation of Armament couldnât defeat the maelstrom. No one thought Li Qiye had a chance.
They saw him touching the badge. His hand crossed through it as if it was a portal. He then disappeared from sight as if he was devoured by the maelstrom.
âDid you see that? Was he eaten?â A frightened soul asked.
âNo, he entered the maelstrom.â His senior answered.
âIn my opinion, the formation in the plain is somehow related to this black maelstrom. Li Qiye was able to connect with the maelstromâs framework by using those rays. Itâs not a reckless and unplanned endeavor.â One ancestor said.
âHow many more secrets is this plain hiding?â Another asked.
By this point, they thought that the plain had an even stronger foundation than Armament Mountain.
âThe Tang is an insignificant clan, how does it have so many resources?â Someone from the last generation asked.
âDonât forget about their forefather, the inventor of the money fall method. Itâs just that this art is lost with time.â One ancestor replied.
âYes, that art is amazing but I donât care how rich he used to be, a dao lord is still superior, and Armament had two.â The first speaker retorted.
No one had a response to this due to their respect for dao lords. Nonetheless, they were still in awe that this clan was showing its worth thanks to Li Qiye.
âSo whatâs in there?â One spectator asked.
âWho knows, maybe heâll never be able to return.â Another would love to gloat about Li Qiyeâs demise.
âThat would be a shame, his wealth would be buried with him.â An expert said regarding the Preeminent Legacy.
