Chapter 677: Challenge
At this time, Li Qiye was prepared for the worst. He hoped that after a period of millions of years, that item would have been refined. However, he had to ready himself just in case.
"Rumble…" A burst of roaring sounds emerged when the bull opened up this ground. Waves of formations came out from below along with radiant lights as if they wanted to illuminate this entire area.
This was a great formation meant for suppression. Back then, when the Imperial Draco-Bull woke up, it forcefully threw the thing into this formation.
Eventually, an item appeared inside the great formation. This was an old urn that was very coarse with rough lines. It seemed to be from an extremely ancient era.
Li Qiye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the urn intact and murmured: "It seems that that thing didn't break out of the urn just yet." Having said that, he went forward and picked it up with his hands for a meticulous examination. He felt the changes inside and found nothing. This made him nod approvingly as he mused: "Very good, it seems to be very effective."
This old urn was left behind by Li Qiye for the Imperial Draco-Bull in the past. Although Li Qiye was confident in the Godking protecting this area, he was still preparing for the worst. The Godking wouldn't have dug the item out, but he couldn't be sure about others.
Because of this, he left this pottery urn to the bull. This urn had a frightening origin; it was from an extremely ancient era and held amazing power. If one day the item underground was dug out by someone, then the bull could use this old urn to suck in that thing and suppress it underground once more.
The truth was that the tension from the war was quite high, so Li Qiye couldn't observe the thing underground in detail. He was unsure whether the urn could suppress it or not. However, he didn't have sufficient time back then, so he couldn't prepare further. After leaving this urn behind, he immediately left.
"I have to look into it a bit if there is time later." Since there was no activity in the urn, Li Qiye planned to take this thing along with him. He activated the pentagate. With a thunking sound, the gates fell down and began to seal this old urn.
At this time, the gates turned into a bronze box and suppressed the urn inside.
This was also a precaution in case the worst happened. If the thing inside the urn still had its power, then it could still escape from within. However, under the suppression of the pentagate, it would be prohibitively difficult for it to run out.
Do note that the pentagate claimed to be able to seal the heavens. In fact, it had indeed sealed a heaven in the form of an entire world before! Because of this, Li Qiye was able to relax after putting the old urn inside the pentagate.
Even if it could escape the urn, Li Qiye was confident that it wouldn't be able to escape the suppression from the pentagate. If it could do so, then there wouldn't be too many things in this world that could imprison it.
Li Qiye happily put away the pentagate then went back to his carriage and ordered the bull: "We'll go back and take a look at the Celestial Peak River."
Of course, he was going back not to find Old Demon Tie Yi, but to meet up with Yuan Caihe again. In fact, he didn't give a damn about the old demon.
The Imperial Draco-Bull took its time pulling the carriage towards the Celestial Peak River while the squeaking sound rang in Li Qiye's ears. While sitting in the carriage, he closed his eyes, immersing himself within the rhythmic sound, causing him to be lost in time. However, he gently sighed inside since he knew full well that he would never be able to return to those days.
Although he was now sitting inside the carriage of the past and his mount was still the Imperial Draco-Bull, many things had been lost and many events had dispersed into fleeting clouds and puffs of smoke.
For example, the Sword Goddess that once served him, or that arrogant heaven's proud daughter… or all the peerless generals that waged war in all the domains for him…
Everything vanished in the long river of time. His carriage, his bull, and he himself were still here like before, but those who stood beside him with the utmost loyalty and will to serve him for an entire lifetime… were all gone.
For tens of millions of years, the people who stood by his side kept changing from one group to another, but he was still the same as he moved forward. On the cruel path of the grand dao and the endless river of history, there seemed to only be the accompaniment of an unspeakable loneliness.
Eventually, he smiled wryly and shook his head to chase all of these old scenes out of his mind. Ever since he arrived at the Giant Bamboo Country, he had become quite sentimental. Perhaps Yan'er had made him remember too many things in the past, or maybe it was her tenderness that was something he couldn't forget.
While he was recalling the past in his seat, the carriage slowly came to a halt.
He thought that they had arrived at the river, but after opening his eyes for a look, he only saw one person blocking his path.
The person standing in front blocking the way was the Jian Clan's golden daughter, Jian Wushuang, who was as proud as a phoenix.
Seeing Jian Wushuang's imposing and extremely arrogant attitude, Li Qiye couldn't help but narrow his eyes and slowly utter: "As the saying goes, a good dog does not block the street. Get out of my way."
"Li Qiye, there is no need to show off your capable tongue. I won't be wasting words with you, I am only here to take your dog life." Jian Wushuang glared at him with her always-aggressive demeanor that didn't change no matter where she went.
It was as if there was no one in this world that was her equal. No matter who it was, she would alway look at them with contempt while showing off her superiority. No one could enter her sight. She was supercilious to the extreme as if no one had ever been able to make her bow her proud head.
After hearing her words, Li Qiye finally remembered what she said back at the river. The truth was that he never paid her any mind, so he didn't bother to hear what she was saying before.
"Do you want to fight?" Li Qiye didn't bother batting an eye and slowly said: "No problem, we can fight. However, I have to meet someone first."
"Yuan Caihe, right?" Jian Wushuang sneered and said: "Don't worry, she is fine and is still chasing that one bull. However, it is better if you don't see her. Being separated by life and death is ultimately a terrible thing. Do you really want a girl like Yuan Caihe to see your dying figure?"
Li Qiye couldn't help but glance at her after hearing her response and quipped: "This is truly rare; an uneducated and uncultured girl like you still has a little bit of compassion. This is really a first, is the sun rising from the west today?"
Li Qiye's remark made Jian Wushuang angry to the point where her pretty eyes were spewing out glints of fury. However, this was not her first time experiencing Li Qiye's razor sharp tongue. His words were capable of enraging people to death.
Jian Wushuang harshly said: "I'm not wasting my breath on you!" She had always been good at verbal jabs, but before Li Qiye, she never held the advantage, so she decisively chose to quit while she was ahead to not bring about further humiliation.
She coldly stared at him and said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to escape. Now that you are in my sight, there will be no chance to run. I suggest for you to face death head on. At the very least, I will give you a fair chance for battle. Although you will still die in the end, at least you tried."
It had to be said that her unique arrogance was very straightforward and upright. Although she had wanted to kill Li Qiye for some time now, even to the point of torturing him, she still chose to meet him in the open in a direct confrontation despite her hatred. Even though Li Qiye's foul mouth was truly vicious, she still gave him a chance for battle.
This was the demeanor of an imperial descendant. No matter how annoying Jian Wushuang was, in this regard, she was worthy of being someone who came from an imperial lineage.
Li Qiye looked at her for a moment. Suddenly, a flash ran through his eyes. He revealed a smirk and leisurely said: "Since you want to kill me so badly… Fine, I'll die then. You can watch."
This reply caused her to be startled. Li Qiye had always been arrogant and put up an aggressive front whenever they fought before, so now, him suddenly going along with her caused her to look at him suspiciously.
Li Qiye smiled and nonchalantly said: "Don't worry, there is no scheme or anything. Since you want me to die, I'll die for you to see."
No matter what Li Qiye was planning or what scheme he concocted, Jian Wushuang was confident in herself as always.
She looked down at him and laughed before aggressively declaring: "Since you didn't bring along a coffin, I will show mercy and give you a chance. You can pick the location, one that you'll want your grave to be located so that you can't complain about me not even giving you a chance to die with a burial."
"Very well, I also want to die at a pretty location." Li Qiye smiled calmly and said as if he was at home: "People only die once in their lifetime, so if I were to die, then of course it has to be at a beautiful landscape. This should, at least, be a memorable event for me."
Li Qiye's carefree and cheerful expression made it seem as if he was talking about someone else. Others would lose their mind at the thought of death, but Li Qiye was talking about it as if it was completely trivial, as if he was simply tired of living.
677 TeaserAt this time, Li Qiye was prepared for the worst. He hoped that after a period of millions of years, that item would have been refined. However, he had to ready himself just in case.
"Rumble…" A burst of roaring sounds emerged when the bull opened up this ground. Waves of formations came out from below along with radiant lights as if they wanted to illuminate this entire area.
This was a great formation meant for suppression. Back then, when the Imperial Draco-Bull woke up, it forcefully threw the thing into this formation.
Eventually, an item appeared inside the great formation. This was an old urn that was very coarse with rough lines. It seemed to be from an extremely ancient era.
Li Qiye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the urn intact and murmured: "It seems that that thing didn't break out of the urn just yet." Having said that, he went forward and picked it up with his hands for a meticulous examination. He felt the changes inside and found nothing. This made him nod approvingly as he mused: "Very good, it seems to be very effective."
[collapse]Chapter 678: Starshattering Bow
Even the haughty Jian Wushuang couldn't help but stare suspiciously at Li Qiye. This sudden change was extremely strange and unlike his usual style at all. In this short period of time, she didn't know where the problem was, but she still arrogantly smiled and said: "Come, let us pick a nice location for your burial."
Li Qiye ignored her and prodded the bull before closing his eyes to rest in the carriage, leaving the bull to take him away.
Jian Wushuang also didn't care for whatever Li Qiye was plotting as she followed behind him. In her mind, no matter what he was planning, it was not worth mentioning since she could easily crush his schemes.
Eventually, Li Qiye found a place that was not only beautiful, but also remote without signs of others on their way. After arriving, Li Qiye took another look around and was quite pleased with himself.
"Good, this is the place. A beautiful scenery, quiet and elegant without any disturbance. Nothing could be better than this for my resting place." Said Li Qiye with a leisurely smile after jumping down from the carriage.
He patted the bull's head, then the bull dragged the carriage away, disappearing instantly.
At this time, Jian Wushuang was standing on top of a hill, looking down at Li Qiye as she coldly sneered: "You have found your grave, so get ready to die."
She had always been a proud person who enjoyed standing on the high ground. Looking down on all existences with disdain gave her a sense of superiority.
Li Qiye also stopped on a peak and took a look around. He took out the Nine Words True Bow and slowly said: "Okay, I am ready, but do not disappoint me. If you can't kill me, then I would have to jump off a building to kill myself."
Li Qiye's words made no sense and caused others to think that he was tired of living. Even Jian Wushuang found it strange. Her eyes became serious and seemed like two sharp arrows locked onto Li Qiye.
"You don't have to worry about that since you will die to my arrow. However, since you are so compliant, I will leave your corpse intact." Said Jian Wushuang with a sneer. With that, she slowly took out a long bow.
The moment this long bow appeared, it was as if a star had fallen from the sky. The bow appeared to be a star in her hand, taking in and spewing out cold starlight. Although the starlight was not dazzling, it gave off the feeling that it could illuminate the entire sky.
Each individual streak of starlight was like a divine arrow that was capable of piercing gods and firmaments all the same. All of the arrows had a merciless intent that sent chills deep into people's bones.
"The Starshattering Bow." Li Qiye smiled after seeing the bow in her hand and freely smiled: "It seems that you really are the favorite daughter of the Jian Clan. To think they actually passed down this bow to you. This is truly a good bow. When Immortal Emperor Diyi Jian was young, this was his weapon of choice while battling the nine heavens and ten earths…"
"… This bow was refined using the deepest star in the sky of the Mortal Emperor World, a star that spanned for tens of millions of miles was turned into this one bow. Although it didn't come from your patriarch, it still accepted the nourishment of his blood energy on top of being powerful already." Li Qiye mused after seeing this bow.
Jian Wushuang was surprised to hear Li Qiye's knowledge regarding the origin of her bow. She sneered and said: "You do know a lot!"
Li Qiye didn't mind at all and continued: "That's not all I know. Although people say that Immortal Emperor Diyi Jian used the bow to prove his dao, this was actually not the case. Before shouldering the Heaven's Will, your patriarch had once thrown away the Starshattering Bow and trained with a different type of weapon until he finally became an emperor! Thus, your emperor didn't use the bow to prove his dao."
"So what?!" Although Jian Wushuang was slightly stunned, she still harshly said: "Since the start of time, my ancestor alone was invincible with regards to archery; his archery skill was number one!"
"I will not deny that." Li Qiye said with a relaxed smile: "Immortal Emperor Diyi Jian, after becoming an emperor, had done one thing that many emperors did not do. He cut off part of his body and burned it down to form a bow. Just like that, the number one bow across the eons was born. Its power was no weaker than your patriach's true fate weapon. It could even be said to have surpassed the limits. Only with that bow in his hand was your patriarch's archery considered unbeatable, becoming capable of looking down on all the other emperors!"
Li Qiye's tale left Jian Wushuang in a daze for a while because not too many people knew about this story. How could a no-named junior like Li Qiye recall it so well with such familiarity? This was outside of her expectations.
Li Qiye happily said: "Unfortunately, the bow in your hand is only the Starshattering Bow. If you were wielding your patriarch's bow, then I would actually not try to court death so carelessly. However, this is a good thing since killing me with the Starshattering Bow is quite appropriate."
"Don't worry, I will be using a different bow very soon." Jian Wushuang sneered and drily said: "Wait until I kill you, then I will replace it with the bow in your hand."
She was indeed worthy of being the golden daughter of the Jian Clan. She never cared about other people's weapons since, to her, they couldn't compare to her own.
However, she was tempted this time. Although she already had the Starshattering Bow, she was still moved by the Nine Words True Bow in Li Qiye's hand. Intuition told her that his bow was even better and more powerful than her own.
"You have a very keen vision." Li Qiye laughed and gently stroked the bow in his hand as he leisurely said: "This bow is the best bow throughout all of eternity, it is completely peerless. In the future, this bow of mine will be even stronger than your patriarch's bow."
"Even a better bow would only be rotting in your hands." Jian Wushuang arrogantly declared: "Only in my grasp will it become the number one bow in all of history!"
Although she was an arrogant bully and was quite annoying, it was still quite cute. At the very least, she was frank about it, unlike some other geniuses who only made up excuses to satisfy their greed for the possessions of others.
"Are you saying that I should be happy for my bow now that it has met you?" Li Qiye relaxingly said: "However, I am in a good mood this time, so I won't hold that comment against an ugly girl like you. If you actually manage to kill me, then I'll fulfill your wish, I shall give this bow to you." 1
She trembled with rage after hearing Li Qiye's words. Although she couldn't call herself the number one beauty in the Stone Medicine World, she was still within the top ten. The men who courted her could line up from the north to the south side of this entire world, so how could she not be enraged by this nobody calling her an ugly girl?
Earlier, she felt that Li Qiye's mouth had become less toxic, but now, she only wanted to break his jaws.
Of course, Li Qiye didn't care about her mood. He only smiled and waved his sleeve to say: "Since you want me to die, I'll let you have the first move."
Jian Wushuang's murderous intent was surging due to her anger. But in the end, she was still an imperial descendant. She took a deep breath to calm her emotions and maintained her best possible condition. She glared at him and arrogantly said: "You dare to let me attack first in an archery battle? Do you really think you can escape from my arrow? But I am merciful so I will give you a chance to change your weapon!"
The innately proud Jian Wushuang thought that Li Qiye daring to compete in archery with her was truly a foolish decision, and she didn't want to take advantage of him.
In response, Li Qiye leisurely smiled and said: "No need, I will use this bow instead of changing weapons."
"In that case, prepare to die!" Jian Wushuang didn't want to waste her breath anymore as a glint flashed in her sharp eyes while she held her bow.
At this critical moment, Li Qiye waved his sleeve and said: "Wait a minute."
Jian Wushuang rolled her eyes at Li Qiye and sneered: "Oh? Regretting it now? It is too late though! Only death awaits you today!"
Li Qiye chuckled and leisurely uttered: "Who says I'm changing my mind? It's just that I don't want others to watch on the sideline."
With that, he drew his bow and prepared an arrow. With a wind-destroying whistle, the arrow shot all the way to the sky.
"Pop!" The sound of something breaking emanated from the sky, followed by what seemed to be pieces of glass falling down. It was as if a heavenly mirror had been shattered by his arrow.
"Good shot." Said Jian Wushuang drily as she gazed at the sky and saw the falling broken pieces.
After Li Qiye destroyed the item in the sky, a carriage could be found stopped outside of the Celestial Peak Mountain on a certain hill, one that couldn't look any more ordinary.
There was a heavenly mirror inside the carriage that also shattered into countless pieces after Li Qiye destroyed the one in the sky.
This caused the old woman sitting in the carriage to startlingly stand up with a fierce glare; this was a pair of frightening eyes with an entire rotating galaxy inside. These eyes illuminated the world when they aimed for the horizon.
"Grandma, no need to rush. I can still sense them a little bit. He has great senses so we don't need to get too close." At this time, a very pleasant voice came from inside the carriage as if it was the hymn of an immortal. Many would most likely become bewildered by this voice.
If Li Qiye was here, he would be able to recognize this carriage because it was the one that trod the same path as him all the way from the Giant Bamboo Country to the Celestial Peak Mountain.
At this moment, during the confrontation between Li Qiye and Jian Wushuang, Li Qiye stood there in a comfortable manner; he was very casual as if this was not a duel at all.
Ugly girl here really means ugly girl, but older people use it in a teasing/familiar/doting manner as well. ↩Chapter 679: Watch Me Die
Li Qiye's demeanor left Jian Wushuang vomiting blood from anger. His carefree attitude was simply an affront to her! She might not be the best genius in the Stone Medicine World, but she could still look down on the entire younger generation. But now, Li Qiye was treating this life and death battle so indifferently that it caused her to want to tear him apart.
"Die!" Her eyes narrowed and turned into a sharp glare like an arrow. In this moment, the Starshattering Bow in her hands lit up instantly and unleashed a shot. This arrow was incredibly fast and completely beyond one's imagination. Space suddenly shattered as it traveled through the void.
Not only was it fast, it was absolutely domineering. Under this arrow, heaven and earth cried out as if even the stars in the distant horizon would shatter if struck by this arrow.
Li Qiye was still carefree in the face of this arrow. He only casually shot out one arrow in response as if he was courting death.
The result was not surprising at all. "Poof!" Li Qiye's arrow was instantly destroyed by Jian Wushuang's arrow, and her arrow maintained its previous velocity while heading straight for Li Qiye.
"Whooosh!" This arrow penetrated his chest, causing his entire body to be blown away, ultimately resulting in him being nailed to the side of a mountain.
It shot through his chest, causing his blood to spurt everywhere. It was as if Li Qiye had died as his eyes suddenly closed.
However, in a split second, a gray matter appeared in the middle of the penetrated and bloodied chest cavity of Li Qiye. In a flash, all the separated flesh and blood that was splashing everywhere receded back in place like a tide at an unbelievable speed and went back to Li Qiye's body.
Next, Li Qiye's penetrated chest suddenly healed. A gray mark appeared in front of his chest, then it disappeared into his body.
This scene was extremely strange and inconceivable because this was absolutely impossible. Unless one could reverse time itself, this could never happen.
However, Jian Wushuang was absolutely certain that this was not time reversal! This development left her with a shocked expression. She was one hundred percent confident in her arrow, that it would not only destroy Li Qiye's body, but also his True Fate.
However, not only did he not die, his wounds immediately healed in a split second. No one would believe such an incredible tale if told.
"Did you forget to eat breakfast?" Li Qiye stood up with a slightly pale countenance, but he was still quite spirited as he smilingly said: "Your arrow had no force at all. It couldn't even destroy my body, let alone my inner physique or True Fate."
This comment left Jian Wushuang shaking with anger. Her pretty eyes turned fierce as she cried out:" Die!"
In just a moment, three arrows tore through space. These three were even more powerful and dominating than the previous one.
What was even more frightening was that these arrows aimed straight for Li Qiye's weak points. No matter how he tried to dodge, they would penetrate the weak points predetermined by Jian Wushuang — they were simply unavoidable.
"Pluff! Pluff! Pluff!" However, Jian Wushuang overplanned things. Li Qiye didn't even try to dodge as the three arrows penetrated his body in the blink of an eye. Deep bloody holes appeared on his body as flesh and blood spattered about.
However, the same frightening event happened. In just a moment, the wounds and spattered flesh and blood were infused by a gray shade and receded like a tide back to its original location. Li Qiye's wounds immediately closed, and the same gray seals appeared once more.
"Die!" With an astonished look, Jian Wushuang caused her blood energy to erupt. The Starshattering Bow became a sun, and countless gigantic arrows flew out like stars.
In this moment, the heaven and earth was bombarded by countless gigantic arrows; the sun and the moon lost their brilliance. With this arrow formation, she could massacre saints and gods with an extremely overbearing style.
This endless rain of arrows struck Li Qiye's body. In just a second, his flesh blew everywhere. However, the tiny remnants of Li Qiye's body all turned gray and came back again as he instantly healed.
The arrow formation continued its barrage on Li Qiye, annihilating his body over and over again. However, his recovery ensued right afterward each time.
What was even more terrifying was that after each time he was "killed", more gray matter would appear around Li Qiye's spattered remains and become even thicker. Moreover, the gray seals became increasingly larger as his wounds closed time and time again.
However, the thing that frightened Jian Wushuang the most was her discovery that after each time she shot Li Qiye, the effectiveness of her divine arrows on Li Qiye continuously lessened. In the beginning, she could penetrate and destroy his chest with just one arrow, leaving behind a huge hole. However, as time went on, she could still penetrate his chest, but it only left behind a little bloody dimple.
It was as if the more injuries he received, the stronger his body grew. He could now withstand even more shots from the divine arrows.
She didn't know that he wasn't getting stronger from having more wounds, it was that he was accumulating even more Death Energy after suffering grave injuries. Because of this, his Death Seal became even stronger. The Death Seal was one of the four great techniques of the Death Scripture. It was able to transform injuries into Death Energy. The greater the wound, the greater the amount of converted energy.
Of course, as the Death Seal garnered even more energy, it became increasingly powerful, making it harder for others to hurt Li Qiye.
Because of this, Jian Wushuang's onslaught became less and less effective due to the increasing efficacy of the Death Seal.
Of course, Li Qiye chose Jian Wushuang for a reason.
The Death Seal was able to convert injuries into energy. However, when applying this art, one would be greatly affected if they couldn't find a suitable opponent.
For example, if the opponent was much weaker than Li Qiye, then even if they could hurt Li Qiye when he was using the Death Seal, this injury would be too trivial and it wouldn't help the gathering of Death Energy.
On the contrary, if Li Qiye picked a far too powerful opponent like a great Virtuous Paragon, then although the Death Seal could still withstand the terrifying damage as well as accumulate a monstrous amount of Death Energy, the critical injuries would leave behind an incalculable trauma. An injury of this level would be eternal and would persist even after rebirth.
Under this permanent damage, even if one could recreate everything and come back from death, they would need to spend countless efforts and take a long period of time to completely treat such a wound.
Picking a strong opponent like that was very unwise, even for a Death Seal user.
Li Qiye picked Jian Wushuang because her strength was very appropriate. She was able to cause enough damage and even kill him. However, she was unable to inflict an eternal wound.
Because of this, she was the most suitable person for Li Qiye to accumulate his Death Energy.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The giant arrows kept on pouring down like rain. Jian Wushuang was furious, and her blood energy was blaring loudly as she concentrated all of it into her Starshattering Bow.
She crazily pulled her bow string with her most violent stance, mustering her most ferocious attack to kill Li Qiye. Under the assault of endless giant arrows, the earth was being torn to many pieces.
It could be said that under such a crazy offense, Li Qiye himself was being blown into little pieces with his body parts flying everywhere. His head was penetrated time and time again.
However, the Death Seal that belonged to the Death Scripture, one of the Nine Grand Heavenly Scriptures, was peerless even across the long thread of time. There was no merit law or secret law in this world that was stronger than these scriptures.
Under Jian Wushuang's bombardment, Li Qiye's broken body healed at an unbelievable speed. The more injuries he received, the more energy he gathered, causing the damage that she inflicted to greatly lessen over time.
"Die already!" In the end, Jian Wushuang crazily roared. Her pretty eyes were glowing like a scorching sun. With a buzzing sound, the entire arrow formation disappeared in a split second. All of its energy gathered into one arrow that seemed to be heralding the arrival of an Immortal Emperor; it was as if an emperor himself was pulling on the bowstring!
Although the Starshattering Bow was not refined by Immortal Emperor Diyi Jian since it was created during a much more ancient age, it had followed him for his entire life so it was bathed in a very powerful imperial aura.
This one arrow instantly obtained invincibility the moment it was shot out. Time itself mouldered and myriad worlds shattered. This arrow would annihilate even immortals and gods since it had already achieved supremacy.
Against such an arrow, layers of barriers appeared before Li Qiye's True Fate, such as the Kun Peng jumping in the sky with floating stars. There was also an endless sea that contained countless tidal waves blotting out the sky along with a great continent that empowered his momentum. In this split moment, the Kun Peng's Six Variants transformed into a mighty defense for Li Qiye's True Fate.
This could be said to be Li Qiye's true first move as layers of powerful defenses protected his True Fate.
"Bang—!" Jian Wushuang's impeccable arrow was absolutely capable of massacring a Heavenly King with ease!
Thus, Li Qiye's multiple barriers could not withstand this arrow. All of them shattered one after another.
Ultimately, this arrow shot through Li Qiye's last barrier that protected his True Fate. However, after piercing through this barrier, the power of this arrow had been significantly reduced.
"Pop!" Even though Li Qiye's True Fate derived countless laws and had a moon and sun orbiting around the last barrier, this arrow still shot through these laws and bypassed the moon and sun. Due to the momentum of the arrow, Li Qiye's True Fate was penetrated.
"Pluff!" Li Qiye's body, that had already come back together, fell to the ground after his True Fate was shot by the arrow. His body immediately fell flat on the ground with his legs kicked upward. His eyes immediately closed as he tasted death on the spot.
