Chapter 487: Nightwalker King
"Die!" Li Qiye laughed in response and then jumped into the abyss like a fearless king. His thousand hands attacked; a pair of hands headed towards each ancient buddha.
A pair of hands used the Kun Peng's Sky Transformation to crazily augment its speed to the limit of time, instantly knocking away one of the buddhas. Another used the Earth Transformation, causing the pair of hands to boundlessly enlarge and trap a buddha regardless of what defensive treasures it used! While the buddha was crushed within the earth, the pair of hands suddenly became bright and turned into fists. It used the eternal power of the nine stars to immediately crush this buddha into smithereens…
At this point, Li Qiye intruded the darkness. Meet god, slay god; meet buddha, slay buddha! In his unstoppable rampage, the thousand hands sometimes used extremely ordinary punches. Other times, they had extreme speed, and some pairs used extreme force to crush the enemy.
At this moment, even though the Zen Ghost Eight Buddhas were Grand Sovereigns, it was still useless. The banner artifact that could seal the heaven and earth failed to stop the tyrannical Li Qiye who was killing all in his path.
One versus eight Grand Sovereigns, not to mention that he was bare-handed against them. By wielding only heaven-defying techniques, he pushed them back continuously to the verge of death — this scene petrified everyone.
Their banner artifact was an amazing foreign dao treasure; their combined efforts with the banner could even stop a Jewel Sovereign. However, in his current state with the sea of blood behind him, a world on top of him, and the thousand hands technique rampaging, Li Qiye was unstoppable. He shattered all of their offensives and annihilated their defensive layers while being unarmed.
"So this is the power of an eternal and perfect world." A person whispered after seeing this domineering scene.
Many were secretly terrified. Li Qiye's cultivation was only at Ancient Saint, but he was currently forcing back eight Grand Sovereigns. A Heavenly Sovereign from the previous generation couldn't help but smile helplessly: "This brat is too heaven-defying. As far as I know, not more than ten people in history had nine stars and ten palaces."
Other human cultivators were cheering: "Well done! Our human genius is indeed different. He's able to sweep through the heaven and earth in such an invincible manner!" Their blood was boiling from excitement.
Some ghost experts were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to retort. Having nine stars and ten palaces was indeed an amazing accomplishment. Although the ghost geniuses didn't want to concede, they knew well enough to keep their mouths shut. Di Zuo, Tian Lunhui, and Chan Yang were the three heroes of the ghost race; they were unbeatable amongst the younger generation, but no one had said that they had obtained nine stars and ten palaces.
This was indeed a shocking achievement capable of subduing all the other arrogant prodigies.
The eight buddhas were angered from being continuously pushed back, so they screamed: "Myriad Buddhas' Pilgrim!" The banner artifact fluttered as if it was opening a new buddhist country, but it was also ghastly like a land of ghosts. In this second, endless buddhist chants emanated from this country as if they were summoning something. Myriad buddhas came out from the banner and formed an array to lock Li Qiye. Then, countless buddhist rods slammed down with the power to subdue all evil.
These rods shattered the mountains and rivers along with the earth itself. Even Fiendgods would not be able to escape this rod punishing formation.
"Break for me!" Li Qiye wildly laughed. His thousand hands then rose into the air and utilized the last transformation of the Kun Peng's Six Variants — the Galaxy Transformation. A boundless galaxy loomed over the buddhist country of the eight monks. Thousands of gigantic palms covered the entire country.
"Bang—bang—bang!" The thousand hands technique reversed the seal of the country like a drowning sea. They heavily slammed into the countless rods formation one after another like never ending tidal waves while building up a stronger momentum with the Kun Peng's Tsunami Transformation. In just a moment, this power had stacked to the limit and finally, an unstoppable strike slammed down!
From the Galaxy Transformation to the Tsunami Transformation, Li Qiye had used the last transformations within the Kun Peng's Six Variants with perfection.
"Boom!" The earth shattered and the mountains split apart from the force. All the rods and buddhas were annihilated. The eight buddhas were knocked up high from this earthquake while spewing out blood. This was their strongest technique, but it still couldn't stop Li Qiye's bare hands.
"Pluff!" As Li Qiye was defeating the eight buddhas with his attack, a red flash suddenly appeared and a cold glint aimed straight for Li Qiye's chest. Li Qiye's final attack triumphed over the eight buddhas, and this strike was aiming for his momentary weakness. In this split second, a ghost-like person sneak attacked Li Qiye, aiming to kill him with one blow.
Li Qiye reacted very quickly, but this blade still managed to cross his chest, leaving behind a bloody wound.
In an instant, the enemy relentlessly attacked like a storm, wanting to sever Li Qiye's head. In response, Li Qiye put up both of his hands to block. Nevertheless, he was still blown far away and heavily slammed into a peak.
The attacker who launched the sudden strike was too fast and swiftly dealt two fatal blows. Perhaps the enemy had been hiding for a very long time, waiting for this opportunity.
"Nightwalker King!" The shadow disappeared after the attack, causing the spectators to cry out in shock.
The Nightwalker King, the most terrifying character in the Nightwalker Sect who was very good in the art of assassination. Although he was not an assassin by trade, he still commanded fear from many Sacred Nether inhabitants. Ye Sha was his apprentice, so he attacked Li Qiye to take revenge.
However, even this sneak attack was not enough to kill Li Qiye. Li Qiye crawled up from the debris. He was still alive and kicking as he spoke: "Again!"
"Die!" After a crazed battle cry, a loud rumble emerged. The earth shook as if there was a huge beast stampeding in the area. A gigantic stone golem rushed forward like a mad bull and slammed into Li Qiye with its gigantic body.
"Scram!' Li Qiye coldly shouted and unleashed a sky-shattering fist into the gigantic stone golem's chest. "Boom!" This fist from Li Qiye could shatter a mountain, but when it met this golem's fist, it was as if he had struck a mountain of steel. This gigantic golem was completely unscathed.
"Bang!" While Li Qiye was still surprised, he was knocked away by this huge golem.
"Hahaha! Little brat, I am impervious to all attacks!" This huge golem laughed and then approached Li Qiye at an extreme speed just like a mad bull.
"Grand completion Diamond King Physique!" Li Qiye now realized that this huge golem cultivated the Diamond King Physique, one of the twenty-four King Physiques. It was one of the two King Physiques in the same branch as the Indestructible Diamond Immortal Physique.
"Armored Heavenly Sovereign!" A spectator emotionally exclaimed after seeing the huge stone golem: "A Heavenly Sovereign with a grand completion Diamond King Physique!"
The Armored Heavenly Sovereign stampeded like a bull with a fierce momentum, slamming into Li Qiye once more. His body was invulnerable, thus it was his most powerful weapon.
Li Qiye understood the opponent's characteristics, so he shouted: "Go down!" With a cry, he decisively slammed down with his foot as his Life Wheel began to crazily spin while channeling the Revolving Crescent Sun Law. His flood-like blood energy caused his power from the grand dao to surge. His ten palaces kingdom poured down an endless amount of power, and the nine stars that filled the sky granted him the power of a world.
Li Qiye still didn't use his Hell Suppressing Godly Physique. He only utilized his unparalleled blood energy to trample the Armored Heavenly Sovereign.
However, the sovereign was like an unkillable cockroach. Although Li Qiye's tyrannical force slammed him to the point of vomiting blood, it still couldn't kill him.
While being under Li Qiye's foot, the Armored Heavenly Sovereign crazily laughed: "Hahaha! You… You can't kill me!"
His grand completion Diamond King Physique could even withstand a Virtuous Paragon True Treasure's attack, so one could only imagine how tough his body was.
"Is that so?" Li Qiye chuckled. The starry sky suddenly became bright; inside the ten palaces kingdom, the Terra's Root poured worldly energy into Li Qiye. In an instant, Li Qiye not only had the power of an entire world, but also worldly energy. The moment his foot stomped down again, it was as if three thousand worlds were pressuring the Armored Heavenly Sovereign.
"Crank crack!" Series of bone-breaking sounds appeared as the Armored Heavenly Sovereign bellowed miserably while spilling blood. This one stomp was beyond his body's defensive threshold, but he still didn't die.
"YOU… can't kill me! I am a grand completion Diamond Physique!" The Armored Heavenly Sovereign shouted. However, his words no longer carried the same confidence as before.
At this point, many spectators felt chills. The Armored Heavenly Sovereign was a real sovereign with a grand completion Diamond Physique. His body could stop the suppression from a Heavenly King and attacks from a Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure, but now his bones were being broken from an Ancient Saint's stomp — how terrifying was this development?
487 Teaser [collapse]Chapter 488: Bloody Training
At this time, everyone understood the true power of having nine stars and ten palaces. This was a miracle that allowed the eternal and perfect kingdom to unleash an absolute power capable of crushing everything.
"Kill him!" At this time, the eight buddhas that were still alive came again. Another shadow flashed, and the Nightwalker King bared his fangs once more.
"Everyone go together, cut him into pieces!" At this moment, someone shouted. Many weapons and treasures began to attack as several thousand experts rushed to attack. Those who wanted to take his life were surrounding him like a pack of wolves.
They now understood that no one could kill him one-on-one. Even a Heavenly King would find it difficult to kill this nine stars and ten palaces miracle. This brat was already too heaven-defying, so others could no longer remain patient. They all jumped out to attack Li Qiye.
"This is even better!" Li Qiye wildly laughed. He kicked away the Armored Heavenly Sovereign beneath his foot. The Terra's Root that grew like a divine tree sucked up the boundless worldly energy, the kingdom's energy, and the energy from the stars and gave it to Li Qiye in the form of a heavenly waterfall.
Li Qiye utilized the thousand hands technique to its limit as all of his hands raised the three thousand worlds behind him.
"Kill!" He did not cower in the face of the gigantic army and instead was excited to see blood. One hand held a saber while the other one held an iron sword; one was channeling the Kun Peng's Six Variants while the other was creating an inescapable net.
"Roar!" The Kun Peng flew into the sky while creating a noise that shook the nine heavens. The primordial Kun Peng swept everywhere, causing a downpour of blood. Li Qiye's foundation turned into this primordial Kun Peng that wildly swung its wings to kill several hundred Royal Nobles, Enlightened Beings, and Ancient Saints!
"We have to go together in order to flay him!" Against Li Qiye's domination, a Little Sovereign crazily cried out and then took the vanguard. He was immediately followed by several thousand experts to enter the battlefield.
Calm River Ghost Monarch, Nether Well Bonedemon, Onyx Mountain Corpse King, Eight Slaughter Heavenly Sovereign… All of these famed great characters in the Sacred Nether World joined the battle.
"Very good!" Li Qiye became fiercer as the battle progressed. The Sky Traversing Eight Saber came for the Zen Ghost Eight Buddhas while the Trinity Sword made the Nightwalker King flee in shame. A sky-covering hand captured the Armored Heavenly Sovereign while another plucked out a bundle of dry grass. This bundle of grass suddenly turned into heavenly swords that were surrounded by stars. This was the Grass Sword Attacking Immortal Law! One grass sword to sweep through a thousand enemies. A single swing of this grass sword caused the heads of Enlightened Beings and Ancients Saints to roll, creating a scene of carnage in the sky. 1
At this point, the battlefield had escalated to the point where even the heaven and earth was collapsing; rivers were split while the mountains crumbled. A huge mountain range was unearthed by Li Qiye and used as a weapon to swing across ten thousand miles…
Even his enemies were influenced by this scene of blood. No matter if it was Li Qiye's blood or the blood of others, those who wanted to kill Li Qiye were crazily rushing forward like sharks baited by blood.
Treasures soared up high while weapons were roaring nonstop. The battlefield was chaotic due to waves and waves of cultivators continuously attacking Li Qiye in order to slay him with their blades. They had let go of all thoughts, including revenge or the bounty — these things were no longer important. They only had one thing on their minds, and that was to kill Li Qiye!
Li Qiye laughed hysterically as he rampaged across the huge army. While being besieged from multiple angles, Li Qiye opened up a path of blood and then killed his way deeper within the army, wishing to kill all of his enemies.
Even those who initially didn't want to participate rushed into the battlefield. Everyone became insane from the killing; they all wanted to peel Li Qiye's skin and drink his blood.
Countless corpses fell down in just a short period of time, painting the scenery red. Blood then formed rivers as corpses plied up as high as the mountains, creating a horrific picture.
At this point, from Royal Nobles all the way up to Heavenly Sovereigns, they all joined in the war. Only the old undyings that were hiding behind the scenes were hesitating. This was because Li Qiye was too fierce; he fought against this army while only using ordinary weapons. These undyings recognized that Li Qiye was training himself instead of just killing his enemies. He was just enjoying this process!
Because of this, many old undyings were shuddering. Li Qiye didn't use his real abilities, so he still had some hidden killing moves. This was why the hiding undyings and Heavenly Kings from the previous generations did not want to make a move.
Becoming a Heavenly King was very difficult, especially those who cultivated during the Difficult Dao Era. This resulted in them having a lot of hesitation.
Li Qiye was just sharpening himself, so he didn't use either of his Immortal Physiques. If these two appeared, then the joy of the battle would be lost since it would end very quickly. He didn't take out other treasures either. He had too many killing methods, and any of them could easily turn this army into ashes, ending this battle in just one second!
"All of you, die for me!" Li Qiye madly laughed while sweeping through the crowd. He was completely covered in blood. Some was his own, but the majority belonged to his enemies.
The bloody Li Qiye was not tired at all; instead, he became even more spirited and eager.
"Clank!" Saber hymns filled the nine heavens; this was the God Slaying Saber. The saber in Li Qiye's hand maddened as the sixth technique of the Heaven Traversing Eight Saber came out, causing the saber intent to go completely wild. Eight saber slashes came down, cutting the Zen Ghost Eight Buddhas in half!
"Pluff!" The ghost-like Nightwalker King suddenly broke through Li Qiye's defense and a knife stabbed into his body at the speed of lightning. Unfortunately for this king, due to the power of an entire world pouring down like a waterfall, this knife that pierced through Li Qiye's skin could not kill him.
"Ahh—" A shrill scream resounded. A pair of hands appeared out of nowhere from under Li Qiye's ribs and quickly grabbed the Nightwalker King; he was too slow to escape and was torn into two halves.
Li Qiye's hands then threw his body away while he burst out in laughter and said: "I have been waiting for you for a while now!"
One wouldn't be able to know whether the Nightwalker King's sneak attack was successful or if it was just a trap by Li Qiye, but this was no longer important. The only thing that remained of the Nightwalker King was his bisected corpse.
"Murder him!" More crazed enemies rushed forth.
"I'm going to kill all of you!" Li Qiye let out a long laugh and screamed. He then soared forward with an incomparable and domineering presence while chasing after the escaping Armored Heavenly Sovereign.
"No—" The Armored Heavenly Sovereign let out a scream in horror. However, Li Qiye — with his world power — crushed the sovereign into a pulp. Even his grand completion Diamond Physique could not stop Li Qiye's tyrannical kick.
The Yin Yang Sea of Blood exuded a blood energy that towered millions of meters high. This blood energy caused Li Qiye's Trinity Sword to kill all in its path with its three variations. The Earth Sword devoured the sky and swallowed the earth; the Heavenly Sword showed no mercy in its massacre; the Mortal Sword was a style filled with life essence, but it was completely merciless in ending the lives of its enemies.
"Swoosh!" Although the Calm River Ghost Monarch managed to cut off one of Li Qiye's thousand hands, the newly grown hand tore off the monarch's head…
At this time, Li Qiye was a monstrous butcher. Although he was injured, none of the injuries were fatal. The endless vitality from the Yin Yang Sea of Blood and power from the nine stars and ten palaces continued to strengthen him. Even a Heavenly Sovereign with a Virtuous Paragon True Treasure would not be able to give Li Qiye a fatal blow in a short amount of time!
Momentarily, Li Qiye had massacred countless enemies as he made his way in and out of the battlefield. Sounds of bones breaking, dao shattering, pitiful screams, and battle cries all wove together like a creepy symphony from hell.
At this minute, all the experts and masters had joined the battlefield. This front line was a black hole that devoured countless lives. Once one stepped inside, no one would ever think about escaping because Li Qiye would not let anyone leave this battlefield; he was determined to slay them all.
Li Qiye was bathing in many types of blood; there was ghost blood that shone a purple color and also the blood race's blood that was shockingly beautiful… All of these types of blood mixed together and no one could tell who they belonged to. Which was Li Qiye's and which was his enemies'?
At this time, his shoulders were pierced, but he only became more ferocious as the war went on. His hands swept through innumerable enemies while his feet stomped on the corpses of the fallen foes.
Right now, Li Qiye resembled a Fiendgod with his invincible and domineering attitude. He would kill until the sky collapsed without a care for his own mortality while basking in the endless blood of his enemies.
At this time, some people slowly became aware that even the gods and devils would not be able to hold back Li Qiye!
Many were astounded by this scene. Earlier, many young ghost experts did not like Li Qiye, and some of them didn't put him into their eyes. But now, any genius would have to shrink their arrogant neck after watching this sky-shattering battle. Those who previously held him in disdain would not even dare to breathe loudly in front of his presence.
In the horizon, some great characters from the ghost race changed their expressions. One of them quietly murmured: "This brat is too terrifying. Who will be able to stop him if he also has an invincible weapon?"
