Chapter 765: Sacred Ancestor

Cao Guoyao dying just like that caused the onlookers to grow silent. They were unable to describe their own thoughts at this moment.

He was once one of the four alchemy prodigies, a genius flattered by many great powers and experts. It could even be said that when he was alive, he was a mighty figure that no one dared to offend!

But now, he died miserably, and to a poisonous insect at that! Even his great insect mastery couldn't save his life.

He once proclaimed that outside of the Insect Swarm Ancestors, no one in this world could compare to him regarding insect mastery. Just how ironic was his ultimate demise today?

Screams continued to emanate as the beasts rampaged in the Xian residence. Blood ran like rivers in the area as countless disciples died. Even the effort from the counter-offensive of the older experts was useless.

From start to end, all the disciples and experts wished to defend their clan. However, after being surrounded, they couldn't even break through the swarm to escape.

Such a scene left the spectators with tingling palms. No one thought that this would happen since they assumed that the Xian Clan would clearly have the upper hand.

Who would have thought that in such a short period of time, the Xian Clan would be swept away and decimated? The clan that held great pride in their dao of alchemy couldn't stop the rage of the poisonous beasts and were eventually massacred.

"Old Dog Huangfu, what are you waiting for!" The Xian Alchemy Ancestor couldn't help but cry out. He was gritting his teeth as his heart bled: "If you don't take action, my Alchemy Kingdom will not forgive your Huangfu Clan!"

The Alchemy Ancestor was driven insane after seeing his clan being abused like this! Despite his great mastery of alchemy, it was of no use. He was busy dealing with Tie Yi and couldn't do anything to save his clan.

He was indeed wondrous. With his nonstop offense, he pushed Tie Yi back into a disadvantageous position. However, Tie Yi's might was unexpected as well.

At this moment, Tie Yi's old injuries resurfaced and he would occasionally spit out blood. Moreover, him taking on the ancestor's continuous attacks only worsened his state. Nevertheless, he was a raging dragon despite his bloodied self. In his frenzy, he unleashed his most powerful attacks again and again until the sky collapsed.

His bloodthirst and hostility erupted. Anyone would be horrified by this scene; they would rather run instead of battling with this dire wolf who was fighting without regard for his own life!

Tie Yi fought with the aim of bringing the enemy down with him, so no one could connect him to his prior cowardly form that fled at the first sign of danger. The Alchemy Ancestor had the upper hand early on in this battle, but he couldn't suppress Tie Yi's rampaging state since he was not a paragon capable of divine investiture, he was not what people called an eternal existence!

Despite his advantage, if he was not careful against Tie Yi's recklessness, then the tides would turn. It could even result in both of them going down together.

The ancestor was full of remorse at this moment. With one wrong move, he lost the entire board. He was confident that this war would be easy since it was just killing a junior like Li Qiye. He didn't expect to bring about a disaster to his own clan.

What made him even angrier was that the Huangfu Sacred Ancestor just loitered around without showing his face. They had a pact that the moment Li Qiye came, they would instantly attack and kill the Virtuous Paragons on Li Qiye's side.

But now, Li Qiye's poisonous horde had destroyed the Xian Clan while the Sacred Ancestor had yet to show his face, causing his Xian Clan to suffer great casualties. How could the Alchemy Ancestor not go crazy?

The regretful ancestor felt that he had fallen into the trap of the Huangfu Ancestor, becoming nothing more than cannon fodder!

"I'm here, Brother Alchemy. My cultivation was tampered with and I almost suffered qi deviation so I am late." The Sacred Ancestor finally showed up.

When he emerged from the Xian Clan, the stars seemed to have shifted. A terrifying aura swept through the entire Alchemy City as if a deity had arrived.

In the end, the Sacred Ancestor still took action. Although this was against his will since it was better to play the waiting game, he was forced to take action. After the Xian Ancestor uttered those words, he would truly break all ties with the Alchemy Kingdom if he remained hidden. That would bring about a disaster to his own clan!

"Kill the little bastard!" Although the enraged ancestor didn't believe this drivel about qi deviation, he had no time to care for it. He needed the Sacred Ancestor to reverse the tides of this battle.

"Boom!" The Sacred Ancestor's attack resembled a blow from a God-Monarch. Myriad laws were destroyed, blowing away all the poisonous creatures from the Xian Clan. As for the beasts closer to him, they were instantly rendered to ashes!

At this second, he didn't care whether the creatures that went flying were alive or not. He stepped out of the Xian Clan with his invincible aura and suppressed the nine heavens and engulfed myriad realms!

"Sacred Ancestor, is he a God-Monarch?" Even great powers' ancestors felt a cold chill. As for other people, they were naturally trembling with fear.

"The most powerful ancestor of the Huangfu Clan is still alive. So this is a God-Monarch!" An ancestor who knew the Sacred Ancestor became nervous.

The Sacred Ancestor took one step forward. His two eyes were as dazzling as the sky when he coldly uttered while emitting a terrifying aura: "Little bastard, today marks your demise!"

That being said, with one palm blotting out the sun, he reached straight for Li Qiye. This encroaching palm seemed to be capable of grasping the entire world, causing all the experts in the city to feel fear. A God-Monarch was indeed brilliant!

"Go!" The moment Madam Zi Yan saw that Li Qiye was about to be captured, she acted without any hesitation. In the blink of an eye, she carried the Immortal Devouring Evil Jar forward and used all of her blood energy to empower it. The jar spewed out an endless black brilliance like a star flying all the way to the firmament, blowing away everything in its trajectory!

The Immortal Devouring Evil Jar had a monstrous origin and was no weaker than even an Emperor Assailant's True Treasure! With the madam not sparing anything, even if she couldn't exert its ultimate power, the strike would still be devastatingly powerful.

All existences in the city trembled before this endless black brilliance that crossed the sky. Everyone felt as if their souls were leaving their bodies as they were sucked in by the jar.

An ancestor recognized this treasure and exclaimed: "Immortal Devouring Evil Jar!"

Even the Sacred Ancestor was alarmed and immediately withdrew his hand. He shouted and opened his mouth to spit out his true fate weapon. Even though he was a God-Monarch, he still didn't dare to meet the jar head on without a weapon!

"Boom!" The madam with the evil jar couldn't withstand the blow from the Sacred Ancestor's true fate weapon; after all, it could destroy even the world.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The madam was forced back repeatedly as the ground shattered behind her. If it wasn't for the evil jar protecting her at the last second, she would have either suffered a grievous injury or died.

After all, the cultivation gap between the two of them was simply too much. Without the evil jar, the Sacred Ancestor's finger alone could kill the madam.

"Immortal Devouring Evil Jar!" Even the eyes of a big shot like the Sacred Ancestor lit up with greed after seeing the jar floating above the madam's head.

He couldn't be blamed since anyone would covet an item such as this jar. It was not weaker than Immortal Emperor True Treasures, something that their Huangfu Clan didn't have.

"This evil jar will only rot at your Giant Bamboo Country." The Sacred Ancestor snorted: "From now on, it will have a different master!"

"Come again!" Although the madam knew that it would be difficult after experiencing the last blow, her fighting spirit was still surging. Despite not being the ancestor's match, she still wanted to fight using the evil jar!

"Little girl, that was only a casual blow from me. If I actually attacked seriously, even the jar would not be able to save you!" The Sacred Ancestor coldly smiled: "It is not too late to hand over the evil jar. If you do so, I will spare your life. If you force me to attack again, then not only will I kill you, I will also destroy your country another day."

The madam still wanted to go forward but was stopped by Li Qiye.

"You're only a false god yet you still dare to bluster. Even a real God-Monarch would not dare to talk about destroying my Giant Bamboo. You are nothing!" Li Qiye smirked as he stared at the Sacred Ancestor.

The ancestor grimaced. People always referred to him as a God-Monarch, which was a source of pride for him. For a paragon, being called "God-Monarch" was a great honor.

In actuality, the Sacred Ancestor was not qualified to be called a God-Monarch due to the strict standards! His strength was enough to form his own country or be part of the divine list, but it was far from being of the God-Monarch level. For example, the Sacred Ancestor from the Thousand Carp River was absolutely worthy of this title; he was a real God-Monarch that would be respected by the entire Sacred Nether World!

However, the Thousand Carp Sacred Ancestor had seen Immortal Emperor Qian Li before and had witnessed what true invincibility was back when all the generals of the great emperor were still in this world. Even if he was qualified for the title, he would rather stay humble and refused to call himself a God-Monarch.

Chapter 766: Black Bones

This was not the case for the Huangfu Sacred Ancestor. With regards to cultivation and qualifications, he couldn't be bestowed the title of God-Monarch! However, as the strongest existence in the Huangfu Clan, he struggled to reach such a level, so he grew very prideful and complacent.

At that time, many experts flattered him and all called him God-Monarch. Thus, even till now, he always considered himself as one. He was very sensitive when others brought this up. Li Qiye calling him a false god reminded him of what he was most annoyed with.

Because of this, the Sacred Ancestor grimaced in an unsightly fashion and coldly uttered: "Fool, today, not only will I take the evil jar, I will also take my time torturing you until you wish for death!"

His blood energy erupted, causing his aura to become even more powerful. Earlier, he only casually attacked. Now, he didn't mind spending blood energy to kill the madam as well as to seize the evil jar!

In the blink of an eye, a divine ring pulsed from his true fate weapon that appeared to be a galaxy in the sky. A fist emerged from the center of this ring. Its arrival immediately suppressed the world. All the Xian disciples and poisonous creatures were immediately frozen.

Even the evil jar emitting it's black brilliance above the madam's head was weakened by this oppressive fist. It was easy to imagine just how powerful this suppression was.

Even if the Sacred Ancestor was not a God-Monarch, he was still an eternal existence, and a top one at that. When he actually became angry and use his blood energy to fuel his fate weapon, seizing the evil jar or other emperor weapons would not be difficult at all.

As the fist came down, even ancestors from the great powers trembled, so it was needless to say for others.

"Ignorant insects, tremble before me! Those who oppose my Huangfu Clan shall not meet a pleasant end!" The Sacred Ancestor sneered. The divine fist suppressed the entire battlefield. Outside of the Sacred Ancestor and Tie Yi fighting in the sky, everyone else was subjected to its suppression.

The evil jar also buzzed when faced with the oncoming fist. It started to shake in an unstable manner. Without a doubt, it was affected by this fist.

"It's over." The spectators gently sighed at the fist going for the evil jar. They knew the fight was about to end. When a powerful existence like the Sacred Ancestor took action, everything would quickly end.

"A false god still acts so unbridled before me." Li Qiye smiled at this: "Watch me slaughter you!"

With that, a gray death energy floated around his body along with the emergence of the Death Chapter. The chapter quickly embedded itself in the ground.

"Crack!" Back at Li Qiye's abode, the dry mountain suddenly cracked!

A broken black bone flew out from the desolate mountain. Like a heavenly spear, it crossed ten thousand miles in an instant.

As the divine fist was suppressing the area, the black bone immediately pierced through it!

"Who dares to ambush me!" The Sacred Ancestor was shocked after his fist was penetrated. This bone being able to do such a thing made him feel threatened.

"Pluff!" Even more black bones flew out from the desolate mountains.

"Die!" As these incomplete bones flew forward, the shaken ancestor roared. He no longer held back any of his blood energy. His true fate weapon shot out even more fists from its divine ring to meet the approaching bones.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The earth was torn asunder. The most unbelievable thing happened. These bones actually pierced through all the fists as they tore through the sky. Everyone had the feeling that the heavens itself was being penetrated.

"What are those things?!" An ancestor saw these black bone fragments clearly. They were burnt crisp black as if they had caught on fire countless times!

Moreover, their lengths varied. A few bones were cracked as if they had been destroyed after being incinerated numerous times!

Such bones — in anyone's eyes — were useless. However, they managed to pierce through the Sacred Ancestor's fists — this was simply terrifying!

Many became dumbfounded at this scene. They didn't know just what these bones were to be able to accomplish such a task.

"Descent of the Gods!" The aghast ancestor howled. He spewed a blob of longevity blood onto his true fate weapon to unleash the most powerful attack of his life! For an existence like the ancestor, his longevity blood had already dried up. Expending this large of an amount right now was akin to taking his own life.

However, if he didn't take such a risk, then these bones would take his life anyway! Fear began to consume even an existence like him!

"Boom!" As this unbeatable attack descended, a sacred image emerged. Many godly figures took form as if they had sent down their most powerful attacks. In the blink of an eye, they imprisoned myriad realms as they unleashed their onslaught to destroy all laws.

"Bang!" The area immediately exploded. Under this ultimate attack, these black bone fragments were blown away. However, even the most tattered ones among them remained unharmed!

"Die!" Li Qiye's eyes turned fierce as all of his death energy erupted. The Death Chapter began to rebuild and derive a boundless profundity.

As Li Qiye empowered his chapter, these broken bones began to come together and rebuilt a new body in an instant.

"What kind of bird is that?" Someone finally saw the shape of the restructured bones. This was the skeleton of a huge bird. Moreover, it was far from being complete as many pieces were missing.

Just one incomplete skeleton was already so powerful. The moment it was successfully put together, it spread its wings with a force capable of stretching even the nine heavens.

"Screechhh!" A phoenix soared to the sky. This skeletal bird swooped down from above. Its bony wings swept by with a force capable of destroying the heavens above and annihilating all devils below. A flap of its wings left behind terrible scars in the sky!

The heads of these godly figures started to fly as the wings of the creature swept forward. The most powerful attack of the Sacred Ancestor was instantly destroyed.

"Bang!" His true fate weapon was torn apart under this pressure while the ancestor was blown away with his blood crazily spraying everywhere.

"Whoosh!" One bone fragment flew out and immediately penetrated his chest, suspending him high in the sky.

"No, this… can't be…" He couldn't move at all after being immobilized in the sky. His wide eyes started to roll as he couldn't accept this reality. He was a God-Monarch and yet was defeated by the skeleton of a bird. No one could accept this result.

"This is impossible!" The spectators watching this scene with their own eyes felt that this was impossible as well because it was simply too terrifying. A skeletal bird defeating a God-Monarch. Even if he wasn't a real God-Monarch, this was still too much to take in.

"Nothing is impossible!" Li Qiye smirked: "It is just that you cannot understand what true power is in this world."

"Pluff!" With a sweep of a bony wing, the Sacred Ancestor's head flew to the sky as a spring of blood erupted from his neck all the way to the sky. Even at his moment of death, he didn’t understand how he lost to a mere skeleton; he couldn't accept this fact!

The world suddenly turned silent. Many people were creeped out, chilled by this astonishing development!

"This is… Is this really happening?" Some thought that they were simply dreaming.

Just think about it. A God-Monarch, a frightening existence. Even if the Sacred Ancestor wasn't truly a God-Monarch, he was still a terrifying eternal existence! If, say, he was killed by a real God-Monarch or a Godking, then it would be understandable. However, he was slain by an incomplete skeleton. No one could accept such a thing.

"Just what is that thing?" Many people couldn't figure it out while looking at this incomplete skeleton. No one knew what this creature was to be able to kill a God-Monarch.

Madam Zi Yan next to Li Qiye took a deep breath. Recently, her Young Master used his death energy to gestate the mountain, reaching all the way to the depths of the ground. He spent a lot of time on this seemingly trivial matter. At this moment, she finally understood what her Young Master had been doing.

"Pop!" In the meantime, the Alchemy Ancestor was struck by Tie Yi, causing his blood to run. He quickly turned around to flee.

The ancestor purposely accepted this attack from the crazed Tie Yi to use the opportunity to escape with his fastest speed towards the ancestral ground of the Alchemy Kingdom.

His fear was understandable because even a powerful existence like the Sacred Ancestor was killed. Even if he were to stay behind, he wouldn't be able to escape death. At this moment, only the ancestral ground would be able to protect him, thus he had no choice but to risk it all to run towards that direction to seek asylum!

Chapter 767: Invincible Bones

This reversal caught everyone by surprise. When the Alchemy Ancestor escaped, the surviving experts and disciples of the Xian Clan were overwhelmed by despair. Even their most powerful forefather had escaped, so they were caught in a hopeless situation.

"Want to run? Too late." Li Qiye snorted at the sight of the fleeing ancestor. The Death Chapter rotated and the skeletal bird in the sky flapped its wings again.

Before the ancestor could reach the ancestral ground, the bird instantly caught up to him. Its speed was too fast. Even someone like the ancestor couldn't compare to the bird in this regard.

"Pop!" Before he could counterattack, the bird's wings swept him flying. He fell down from the sky while vomiting blood and heavily slammed into the ground, creating a huge pit. His blood began to stain the soil.

Before he could stand up to try to escape again, the bird swept down and smashed the surroundings. Its claws instantly pierced his shoulders as he was caught by it and carried into the sky. He couldn't move at all! When the bird gripped his shoulders, it also sealed his true fate.

"No…" The lucky survivors from the Xian Clan cried out as they were plunged further into despair.

The spectators were even more frightened by the sudden appearance of this bird. First, it killed the Huangfu Sacred Ancestor and now, it captured the Xian Alchemy Ancestor.

Just an incomplete skeletal version was already this powerful, so wouldn't it have unimaginable might if it were still alive?

They quivered uncontrollably while watching the ancestor being gripped by the skeletal bird like a little chick. The majority expected the Alchemy Ancestor to win while Li Qiye's side suffered total defeat. Who would have thought that the Sacred Ancestor would be killed, the Xian Clan annihilated, and the Alchemy Ancestor captured alive?

"I have never been reserved towards those who aim for my life." Li Qiye cheerfully smiled while looking at the ancestor.

"Junior… you, you can't kill me." The ancestor was extremely pale. He knew just how close to death he was. Until now, he was always imperious, the one to control the life and death of others. A junior like Li Qiye would never be able to enter his sight no matter the occasion. But now, his life was in the hands of this exact junior!

"Is that so?" Li Qiye smiled: "Do you really think that I wouldn't dare to kill you because you are a denizen of the Alchemy Kingdom? You truly think too highly of yourself and the Alchemy Kingdom. There is no one in this world that I do not dare to kill!"

The ancestor's soul left his body after hearing this response. He knew that he had met his maker, so he shouted: "Senior Uncle, save me!"

With that, he spewed out an arrow made of blood that flew all the way to the ancestral ground of the Alchemy Kingdom. With his life hanging by a thread, the ancestor used this blood arrow to ask the ancestors and seniors in the ancestral ground for help.

"Boom!" When this blood arrow reached the ancestral ground, a divine light soared from the place all the way to the sky. Although its entrance was still closed, it was as if one deity after another awakened when this terrifying light reached the sky.

A vast and invincible aura suddenly hit the world. Such a terrifying aura from an awakened being was able to shake all of the Alchemy Realm and even the entire Stone Medicine World.

At this moment, many imperial lineages were alarmed by this powerful aura. The Jianlong Clan, the Beastmaster Citadel, and the Heavenhoof Ravine had many sleeping ancestors that woke up due to this powerful disturbance.

"What is going on?" Ancient existences were woken from their slumber by this force. They couldn't help but look towards the Alchemy Kingdom.

"Is someone attacking the Alchemy Kingdom, or did something strange happen to the world? Why is it that so many ancestors of the kingdom woke up?" Even an ancestor from the low-profile Jianlong Clan spoke emotionally after sensing this disturbance.

The cultivators inside Alchemy City became nervous. Many even prostrated to the ground since they couldn't handle this aura.

It was as if all the powerful subjects of an archaic dynasty had woken up overnight. These powerful auras were not necessarily weaker than the arrival of an Immortal Emperor.

Countless people lost their minds out of fear of this horrifying power. For the masses, the might of the Alchemy Kingdom was only something from legends and gossip. In fact, for many cultivators, especially the younger generation, they simply couldn't imagine the magnitude of the kingdom's true power. Some even felt that the kingdom's power might have been exaggerated.

But at this very second when divine rays soared to the sky from the ancestral ground and powerful auras swept through the nine heavens, people finally felt the true prestige of the kingdom. This was the limit of power, a might that could shake the entire Stone Medicine World! Even Heavenly Kings had the urge to prostrate on the ground.

This left a permanent mark in many people's minds. Although no one could see how many ancestors actually woke up from the ancestral ground or what they looked like, their auras alone showed that it was not just one. Moreover, they were all fear-inspiringly powerful.

"Long live the imperial family, long live the invincible ancestors…" The despairing Xian disciples finally caught sight of a thread of life and couldn't help but rejoice.

"Phoo!" With a single breath, the wind started to howl. A God-Monarch's power engulfed the world. In the blink of an eye, a huge sleeve swept forward like a gust of wind, blowing all the clouds along with all the poisonous creatures assaulting the Xian residence to the horizon.

Just one sweep of his sleeve was enough to blow all the monsters away. Just this one move was enough to show that the person who had just taken action was much more powerful than the Huangfu Sacred Ancestor.

"Senior Uncle, save me…" The captured Alchemy Ancestor shouted with a hint of embarrassment and joy in his voice.

When he came into being and left his Blood Era Stone, he told the imperial family that he was going to refine a longevity medicine cauldron. Right now, he couldn't face them after things came down to this.

Within the endless lights in the ancestral ground, a figure emerged. They carried the endless light with their back leaning on countless mountains and rivers. Just this figure alone was enough for his God-Monarch aura to cover Alchemy City.

His aura was vast and majestic, leaving people breathless. They couldn't help but want to prostrate before his imposing might.

Although the Sacred Ancestor also emitted a powerful aura earlier, there was something missing in his aura compared to the aura emitted by this figure ahead. The Sacred Ancestor's aura was indeed oppressive to the point where people would quiver, but it still had a feeling of putting on airs.

However, the aura from this current figure was exalted and regal as if he was a true God-Monarch sitting above the firmament just to allow his subjects to prostrate to him!

People felt their lips drying up with cold chills running down their spines after seeing this figure from the ancestral ground. One of them couldn't help but murmur: "A true God-Monarch…"

Even those who had never seen a real God-Monarch before knew that this person was the real deal while the Sacred Ancestor was truly lacking.

A true God-Monarch had no need for flattery from others. An existence like the Sacred Ancestor that needed the acceptance and praise of others to be a God-Monarch was ultimately lacking, he couldn't reach this true level.

Although few could guess which ancestor the Senior Uncle of the Alchemy Ancestor was, the entire city was completely silent at this moment. Many people didn't even dare to breathe as they watched this scene.

Only Li Qiye remained calm and at ease as he stared at the figure.

"Young friend, the storm ends here. Let go of my Alchemy Kingdom's disciple." The figure eventually spoke. His voice was ancient and resoundingly powerful.

The crowd held their breaths and stared at Li Qiye. Many people assumed that he would back down in this situation since so many ancestors of the kingdom had woken.

Li Qiye smiled and leisurely responded: "End? For me, this is just the beginning; things are far from over."

Li Qiye's words rendered many speechless. He had already breached the Xian Clan, killed the Sacred Ancestor, and captured the Alchemy Ancestor. This was enough to make him famous in this world, enough to make him become a peerless genius comparable to Ye Qingcheng and Mei Aonan overnight!

However, Li Qiye still didn't falter after reaching this level. This was too aggressive and overconfident.

Chapter 768: Alchemy Kingdom's God-Monarch

It was so silent that one could hear the wind blowing about. No one would dare to interfere in such a matter. The behemoth that is the Alchemy Kingdom had finally revealed itself. Any lineage would feel pressured by this development.

The atmosphere became extremely tense. There was a phrase that rang quite true: the world trembles before the fury of the Alchemy Kingdom's imperial family!

The figure inside the divine light in the ancestral ground slowly uttered: "Little friend, the real culprit, the Huangfu Sacred Ancestor has already been killed. You have destroyed the Xian Clan and defeated the Alchemy Ancestor. Your goals have been accomplished, so what more do you want?" Each of his words was full of power and immense weight.

Li Qiye gently shook his head: "We won't talk about future matters, but even in the present, this is far from enough without killing the Alchemy Ancestor. Unless he leaves his life behind, I will not let this go!"

All watched with bated breaths. No matter their view on Li Qiye or their grievances towards him, everyone had to admit that this kid was really courageous. To dare to bargain with the imperial family and still act nonchalantly before a God-Monarch — this was not something anyone could do.

Such boldness and courage made many feel inferior. Not to mention the younger generation, even those of the older generation and the ancestors would feel their knees giving in while standing before a God-Monarch of the imperial family.

"You!" The Alchemy Ancestor was vomiting blood from anger. However, even if he was enraged, he wouldn't be able to do anything. His life was in the hands of Li Qiye! Today was the most shameful day of his life!

"Little friend, don't be so aggressive. There is no need to go too far on every little thing. Leave a way out and bask in the immensity of the world." The figure replied in a deep tone: "My Alchemy Kingdom is not the unreasonable type; we do not wish to bully the weak. However, if little friend goes too far, then don't blame us!"

"Reasonable?" Li Qiye smiled: "I can reason with you any time. My bet with Cao Guoyao, what does it have to do with your Alchemy Kingdom? He owed me his life yet your Xian Clan chose to protect him. I demanded the person from your Xian Clan yet the clan wished to take my life." Li Qiye paused before continuing: "And now, after I destroyed the Xian Clan, your Alchemy Kingdom is claiming that I am the aggressive one? What are you trying to do? To be frank, this is simply your kingdom desiring my supreme dao of alchemy and digging a pit for me to jump into!"

"Such venomous slander!" The captured Alchemy Ancestor cried out: "Our Alchemy Kingdom has four Alchemy Emperors, your dao of alchemy isn’t worthy of entering my Xian Clan's sight—"

"Shut up." Li Qiye didn't bother looking at him and simply swung his hand. "Pop!" A heavy slap landed on his face.

The ancestor grew even more enraged. To be slapped by a junior in front of the world — this was the greatest humiliation of his life!

The spectators' jaws dropped to the ground. Just how domineering was it to slap an ancestor of the Alchemy Kingdom? Anyone would be dumbfounded at this lawless youth who dared to do anything.

"Little friend, you take it too far!" Even the God-Monarch could no longer remain calm. Not to mention that the Alchemy Ancestor was his junior, even if he was only an ancestor from the kingdom, to be slapped in the face like that was something unacceptable to their kingdom!

The monarch coldly stated: "If you release the Alchemy Ancestor right now, our Alchemy Kingdom will not pursue this matter any further and let bygones be bygones. If not, then suffer the consequences!" Although his words were not loud, everyone heard them very clearly. It made them feel suffocated, as if each of his words was a hammer bashing their hearts.

"Suffer the consequences?" Li Qiye smiled: "I like hearing these words the most. Come then, I want to see your kingdom's abilities!"

"Boom!" The God-Monarch walked forward step by step with endless divine light accompanying him. Stars hovered around his body as if he was the ruler of the heavens and myriad dao.

The endless light didn't allow for anyone to see his face. Under the vast God-Monarch aura, numerous people prostrated in worship!

He was high above like a deity, controlling the fate of all existences in the nine worlds as if they were mere ants!

God-Monarch! This was a true God-Monarch, the ruler of deities. When one was bestowed this title, they would accept the worship of countless existences and became the lord of their own domain!

"Little friend, it is not too late to let him go. When I take action, you will either be dead or gravely injured!" The God-Monarch continued to suppress the sky, engulfing myriad realms.

Everyone in Alchemy City was breathless. The entire Alchemy Realm was also shaking from his terrifying aura.

"I am someone who prefers soft over hard treatment." Li Qiye smiled: "The more people provoke me, the more I will enjoy killing him." With that, Li Qiye's eyes became fierce as more gray death energy emerged.

"Senior Uncle, kill this ignorant brat and obtain vengeance for the Xian Clan… Ahhh!" The Alchemy Ancestor saw the God-Monarch taking action and thought that he was about to be rescued. He couldn't help but shout, but before he could finish, a scream came about. The skeletal bird had torn him in two. Blood immediately sprayed out everywhere, signaling his demise.

The God-Monarch also felt unease after Li Qiye's death energy emerged. His heavenly palm aimed for the skeletal bird. This attack could shatter the heavens and conquer myriad realms!

However, the God-Monarch was still too late and couldn't save the Alchemy Ancestor from being torn apart.

It seemed as if the world froze. An ancestor of the Alchemy Kingdom was killed! Just how shocking was this scene? For a very long time now, no one had dared to do such a thing. But now, a junior like Li Qiye had done something that was taboo for the past one hundred thousand years!

"Boom!" One strike to break myriad laws. Although the God-Monarch couldn't save the Alchemy Ancestor, he still struck the bird flying. The bird's skeletal figure was shattered as fragments flew about.

"Die!" Li Qiye shouted with more death energy emitting from his body. In a split second, the black bones quickly came together again with the same death energy. The skeletal bird screeched like a phoenix roaring.

It flew to the sky with an absolutely perfect pose like a phoenix traversing the nine heavens. Under Li Qiye's command, each of the bird's actions was in accordance to the rhythms of heaven and earth.

The bird attacked with its wings across space. All of its actions and motions were absolutely incomparable. It reached a higher level by dragging the worldly order, no longer staying in accordance with it.

"Rumble!" The God-Monarch took control of myriad laws and also used a supreme gesture to derive the ultimate emperor law in order to stop this skeletal bird!

However, the bird's offense was absolutely perfect. Each of its moves were able to stop the God-Monarch's emperor law! Its attacks didn't carry the laws of the grand dao or an unstoppable momentum, yet they were still flawless and capable of stopping all emperor laws.

In just a moment, the two sides fought above the firmament. If this battle took place on the ground, then it would definitely destroy Alchemy City!

Many big shots opened their heavenly mirrors and dao platforms to watch the contest between the skeletal bird and the God-Monarch. The battle shattered the void and annihilated the worldly laws, causing all spectators to be aghast.

"Just… just what is that thing?" Many were left in disbelief at seeing this bird capable of fighting against a God-Monarch. This broke the common sense of many since it was simply impossible!

Someone couldn't help but murmur: "Just its skeleton is able to fight against a God-Monarch. If this is the case, then what kind of existence was it when it was still alive? An Immortal Bird? Or an existence comparable to an Immortal Emperor?"

"What kind of demonic art is Li Qiye cultivating? To be able to control a corpse… Could this be a puppet master technique? However, I have never heard of such powerful puppet mastery before." Many were horrified while watching this battle, and many questions popped up in their minds. They didn't know what this powerful corpse was, only that it exceeded the limits of their imagination.

Even the madam and Yuan Caihe who had always been with Li Qiye were astonished. Neither of them could imagine how this corpse reached such a level. No one would believe that a corpse could fight against a God-Monarch!

As for Tie Yi who was tending to his wounds, he was even more alarmed. He gasped while shuddering inside. He knew more than other people. It could even be said that he had searched around Alchemy City and its lands before. Although the deepest parts of this domain were full of dangerous seals and traps that were beyond his reach, he knew that below this land was an unimaginable mystery!

At this moment, these incomplete bone fragments coming together actually wielded such incredible power. Looking at the attacking skeletal bird like a phoenix soaring up high, looking at its perfect actions that were controlling the mystical rhythms of the world…

In the blink of an eye, it was as if Tie Yi had seen a phoenix. He thought about a very old legend that few were aware of.

"Impossible…" The shaken Tie Yi murmured. He was skeptical of this legend before, but he couldn't help but be reminded of it after seeing this skeletal bird in front of his eyes!
