Chapter 900: Solo Against Two Godkings
The Yin Yang Fish carried a withering destruction. Nothing could stop it, not even an imperial formation.
The five God-Monarchs used their imperial weapon to power this minor formation. However, they couldn't unleash an Imperial Massacre, so they didn't last long under the treefather's Emperor Suppression Art!
In the past, the treefather was already strong enough to look down on the world. After obtaining the complete manual from Li Qiye, his battle prowess went up by two levels. Just his art alone was enough to fight against imperial weapons!
"Boom!" The Yin Yang Fish shattered the earth as well as the formation. The five monarchs wanted to protect themselves with their weapons, but it was too late.
"Ah!" With shrill screamings, their flesh splashed everywhere due to the treefather's art.
This was too unbelievable. Five monarchs were still not a match for the treefather even though he was bare-handed.
The Hundred-Life Alchemy Emperor who was watching this through his mirror was astonished as well: "This is the legendary Emperor Suppression Art! Empress Hong Tian is indeed one of the greatest emperors of all time!"
The emperor became a bit sentimental after seeing this. In the past, he personally witnessed Empress Hong Tian's Emperor Suppression Art. One art to suppress myriad emperors! After that battle, he knew he would never be able to compete with her for the Heaven's Will. This art had left an indelible shadow in his heart.
The Allpine Treefather today couldn't compare to the empress back then. However, he was still able to fight imperial weapons with his bare hands. This was indeed an unbeatable emperor art in his arsenal!
After the five monarchs were killed, the imperial weapons instantly flew back to the depths of the ancestral ground. The scene became silent again. A Godking was indeed capable of fighting against myriad realms — truly a frightening spectacle!
"Rumble!" The treefather trod on further into the ancestral ground. Each step created a new world in an oppressive manner. Although there were many seals in this place, the treefather easily destroyed them despite the fact that they had been set up by an Immortal Emperor long ago.
"Boom! Boom!" Eventually, two majestic auras erupted from the depths as two Godkings stepped out.
These two Godkings were extremely old with withered lifespans and blood energies. They were on the verge of death, and there was no way for them to re-emerge afterward. Death was assured for them.
One had a beast's horn on his head while the other had a pair of wings made out of light. The two Godkings' power caused the stars in the sky to quake as if they were about to fall! After emerging from their reclusion, their eyes swept by like four star-slaying swords. Such powerful Godkings could kill a Virtuous Paragon with a single glance!
"The Heavenhoof Ravine is finally using their aces!" A big shot commented after seeing these two Godkings.
For any lineage, Godkings like these two would not easily come into being because there was no way to reseal them in the earth. They could only die from old age after coming out!
Even a lineage with two emperors would only go to such extreme lengths when there were no other options and they were facing impending doom.
"Allpine, although you are very strong, you shouldn't have come to my ravine. Even if you are a Godking, this place will still be your grave!" One of the Godkings spoke with a deep voice.
The treefather glanced at them. He was still very confident and smiled: "So it is the Longhorn Godking and the Actualization Godking. I heard of your fame back during my leisure time back at Allpine Mountain. This is excellent, you two are real Godkings, incomparable to the likes of the Scorpion God and the Unbreakable Emperor!"
"I have not fought against a real Godking in a very long time, this is the perfect time to get some exercise!" The treefather's eyes lit up and shot out a terrifying light as if it could illuminate heaven and earth!
Prior to this, the Unbreakable Emperor, the Imperial Grandchild, and the Scorpion God all claimed to be Godkings. However, they were not truly worthy of this classification.
It was nothing but self-flattery for the Unbreakable Emperor and the Imperial Grandchild. As for the Scorpion God, he was flattered by others because he was a general under Immortal Emperor Jin She and managed to live till now. In a stricter sense, they were not bestowed the title by an Immortal Emperor.
Although the treefather's title was not bestowed by an Immortal Emperor, he gained the recognition of the rest of the nine worlds. Thirty thousand years ago when the nine worlds were still connected, many wise sages of the nine worlds all acknowledged his title!
The two Godkings ahead were bestowed their titles from an Immortal Emperor. Their status was justified and real.
The battle between the treefather and the Unbreakable Emperor's trio was not a real fight between Godkings. However, the next battle would be.
Many people held their breaths at this moment. A battle between Godkings was a very rare sight to behold.
The two Godkings from the ravine slowly appeared in the sky above. The treefather was not afraid at all and slammed his foot down to propel himself up to meet these two eye to eye.
"Die!" The treefather didn't say much more. He immediately unleashed his Emperor Suppression Art. His right hand became a pagoda and his left a heavenly sword. The suppression of the pagoda and the slash of the sword met two Godkings head on.
The two Godkings shouted in unison: "Break!"
"Boom!" After a deafening blast, the sky shattered. An imperial aura shone down onto the nine worlds and destroyed all before them.
These two Godkings immediately used their Immortal Emperor True Treasures from the get go. These were Immortal Emperor Qilin's and Immortal Emperor Jin She's true fate weapons. Just imagine the power when this level of weapon was in the hand of Godkings.
"Boom!" The pagoda shattered and the sword cracked. The treefather was blown away and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The treefather was instantly at a great disadvantage fighting bare-handed against true treasures since both of his enemies were Godkings. Without a doubt, these two Godkings had grasped the essences of their weapons. For them, using the emperors' signature moves with their weapons was not difficult. However, Heavenly Annihilations might be a different story!
"Godkings are invincible when they have their ancestral weapons with them!" Anyone would be shocked after seeing this. The presence of true treasures created too much of a gap; they rendered the two ravine Godkings virtually invincible!
"Die!" The two Godkings didn't let the treefather have a chance to rest, they wanted to kill him right away. The two true weapons unleashed their powerful attacks.
"You two aren't the only ones with Immortal Emperor True Treasures!" The treefather roared in the face of this oncoming onslaught. He leaped to the sky and a banner flew out to meet the attack.
A dragon roar echoed in the sky. The treefather had the Coiling Dragon Banner in his hand. He swung it around, making it resemble a golden dragon wagging its tail over an endless stretch of space. This banner met the attacks from the other two true treasures head on.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The weapons fought each other while the Godkings exchanged blows. Under their destructive powers, black holes began to surface in the sky. All were blown back to their origin. Time broke and space moldered.
Such invincible attacks left the sects in this world horror-struck. If the same attack was unleashed onto the ground, then it would sink an entire continent.
"Die!" The treefather screamed. He held the banner while a golden dragon danced in the sky. The Emperor Suppression Art was activated at the same time to fight against the two Godkings.
His opponents held nothing back. They channeled their Heaven's Will Secret Laws while empowering the true weapons to attempt to kill the treefather in the next three to five moves.
Despite using their most powerful and heaven-defying means, it was impossible for them to kill the treefather in such a short amount of time.
The treefather couldn't reverse the tides in an instant against two Godkings, but he had a great advantage. These two Godkings had dried up blood energies and depleted lifespans. The more they used their true treasures, the shorter they would be able to hold on. Their exhaustion was just a matter of time.
On the contrary, the treefather had plentiful blood energy since his lifespan was enough to live for the rest of this generation. Thus, a battle of attrition would leave the treefather as the clear victor.
His biggest drawback was the lack of time in battling with the Coiling Dragon Banner. The two had yet to reach a level of understanding, so he couldn't exert its real power!
These two Godkings were well aware of their fatal weakness, so they crazily unleashed their strongest attack to kill the treefather within the shortest time possible.
The battle between the three Godkings caused the entire Stone Medicine World to tremble beneath their auras. This mad skirmish revealed their true power.
"A battle between Godkings!" Some big shots were only watching this through their heavenly mirrors. However, the invincible auras still left them drenched in cold sweat and their hair standing on end.
They realized that a Godking with a true treasure would be able to sweep through this world without any opposition.
"Activate the formation." The Godkings on the ravine’s side shouted. This battle was too drawn out and they couldn't bear this much longer.
"We offer our ancestral blood to our great forefathers, use our lives to manifest into existence…" After the Godkings gave their commands, a huge group of old men with gray hair began to chant inside the ravine. All of them had a burning glow around their bodies.
"Elders from the Golden Crow Tribe, they're going all out now!" A great expert murmured after seeing this group of old men.
After chanting their timeworn spell, a huge skeleton emerged in the deepest part of the ravine. This appeared to be a bird with an intact skeleton.
900 TeaserThe Yin Yang Fish carried a withering destruction. Nothing could stop it, not even an imperial formation.
The five God-Monarchs used their imperial weapons to power this minor formation. However, they couldn't unleash an Imperial Massacre, so they didn't last long under the treefather's Emperor Suppression Art!
The treefather in the past was already strong enough to look down on the world. After obtaining the complete manual from Li Qiye, his battle prowess went up by two levels. Just his art alone was enough to fight against imperial weapons!
"Boom!" The Yin Yang Fish shattered the earth as well as the formation. The five monarchs wanted to use their weapons for protection, but it was too late.
"Ah!" With shrill screamings, their flesh splashed everywhere due to the treefather's art.
[collapse]Chapter 901: Three Emperors Formation
Once this huge skeleton emerged, it emitted a venerable aura as if it had come from the ancient past. During that untraceable era, it dominated over the nine heavens and ten earths.
"Pop. Pop. Pop." A series of little noises rang out after the elders of the Golden Crow Tribe finished chanting their spell. Their bodies fell apart and turned into blood. These drops of Longevity Blood soared towards the huge skeleton like a river.
"Screchh!" After gaining the huge amount of longevity blood, the bird's cry echoed across the nine firmaments. The moment it spread its wings, endless refined sunfire poured down.
"Screchhh!" With another cry, it opened its mouth, causing the world to howl. The sun was dragged down from the deepest recesses of the sky and its endless sunfire cascaded into the bird's vicious beaks.
The world turned dark during the entire process. It seemed that this bird was about to swallow the sun whole.
"Boom!" A blast echoed across myriad realms. After swallowing a sufficient amount of sunfire, the bird's body was covered in towering flames that burned the sky. This gigantic skeleton had turned into a dazzling fire bird with three legs. It posed in the sky as if it was the real True God of the sun!
"Three-legged Golden Crow!" Many existences in the Stone Medicine World were shocked after seeing this creature.
One ancestor mumbled: "There were rumors about the Golden Crow Tribe's progenitor obtaining the complete skeleton of a golden crow. Moreover, it had maintained its divinity. It seems like this is indeed the truth."
The Golden Crow Tribe was known as the descendants of a divine beast, the Golden Crow. They claimed to have its bloodline running through their veins. Naturally, many were skeptical of this claim. However, after seeing this Golden Crow today, some felt that this was quite plausible.
"Boom!" The Three-legged Golden Crow descended to the ancestral ground. Universal laws expanded and the imperial foundation emerged from right beneath its feet. The moment this foundation floated upward, countless Immortal Emperor laws wove together to form a grand formation. Everything became illusory as a new world was beginning to form.
"Boom!" The formation sealed this area and locked the treefather inside.
The two Godkings immediately rushed into the formation as well after seeing this new development. They took their respective positions alongside the Golden Crow.
"Rumble!" In the blink of an eye, the two imperial true treasures took their positions with other imperial weapons rushing in as well. Something incredible happened next; two true treasures and seven life treasures in the formation empowered this endless domain. They seemed to be turning into unbeatable generals to guard the formation.
"Kill him!" The two Godkings and the Golden Crow used the foundation of the ravine to empower this incredible formation. One weapon after another quickly surrounded the treefather. They no longer seemed to be mere weapons and instead resembled powerful Godkings or even stronger existences.
"Die!" The treefather tempestuously evaded all of these attacks while his Golden Dragon flew around to weaken the formation. However, with the imperial foundation as the base and the imperial weapons as the outline, he couldn't do anything to the formation and was trapped inside. Waves of powerful attacks continued to assault him like a storm, continuously forcing him back.
"The mythical three emperors formation!" A knowledgeable ancestor couldn't help but murmur: "An emperor from the ravine created this formation with a focus on three emperors and their weapons presiding over it. I didn't expect this to be real."
This formation was the most powerful weapon of the ravine. Although it never cultivated a third emperor, it had a substitute in the form of the Three-legged Golden Crow to take this emperor's spot.
With that, the two Godkings and the Golden Crow worked together to trap the treefather inside the imperial formation.
"Break for me!" The treefather was at a disadvantage under the formation's suppression. This made him quite furious. Although he had the dragon banner, he couldn't unleash an ultimate attack with it.
He quickly transformed and revealed his true form. A huge pine tree anchored itself in the middle of the world. When its old roots pierced into the ground, an endless amount of worldly energy shot up and was absorbed by the treefather. This made him even more powerful, capable of bursting out of the sky.
"Aooo—" The golden dragon from the banner coiled itself around the ancient pine. As the tree grew bigger, so did the beast.
"Rumble!" The quaking from the continuous growth shook the formation. It was definitely not able to suppress the treefather any longer and was about to break from his gigantic body.
"So powerful!" Anyone would gasp to see the formation failing to trap the treefather.
As an enlightened pine tree, he was able to take root in the ancestral ground of the ravine, using its energy to empower himself.
One Godking from the ravine loudly screamed: "Open the divine ground!"
The lucky surviving ancestors from the ravine immediately began to chant. Their blood energy erupted and formed a huge imperial lock. With a clanking sound, the lock was opened.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A sealed ground in the depths of the ancestral ground was opened and appeared before everyone. A dazzling radiance shot up and strings of tangible rays cut through the sky.
This place was full of wondrous energy. There was an old vine in the center of the place. It emitted a golden light as if it was cast from pure gold. Moreover, there were flowing red rays throughout its body as if flames were running within it.
A calabash had also been growing from it for a very long time. It could ripen at any moment as it emitted waves of thunderous noises. It was clear from its appearance that this wasn't something ordinary.
This vine root lazily spread across this land while three gigantic beasts could be found below. All of them emitted frightening and archaic auras, as if they had been sealed here for many years.
"This is…" Many people were startled to see this. Some ancient ancestors immediately stood up to stare at this place.
"Yang Vine!" Li Qiye's gaze also turned serious while he looked at this old vine from his chariot.
"Demon Forefather, please protect our sect and slay our enemies!" One of the ancestors who survived heaved a sigh of relief and pleaded.
However, the vine root and the three beasts continued to lie there as if they didn't hear the request.
Eventually, the rest of the ancestors looked at each other and noticed that the treefather was becoming more and more powerful. They finally made a firm decision.
"Pop! Pop! Pop!" Their bodies shattered and their longevity blood rushed to this wondrous location.
The three beasts opened their mouths to swallow the longevity blood, then they stood up at the same time.
"Rawwrrr!" Their roar shattered the world as they all leaped in unison. They didn't bother looking at the treefather in the formation, but it was clear that their target was Li Qiye riding his chariot!
The surrounding thousands of miles shook from their leap. Their terrifying beastly auras engulfed the entire Beast Realm. The nearby creatures all felt their auras and were stricken with fear. They prostrated on the ground as if their ancestors had come out!
While these three beasts went for Li Qiye, the lazy vine also moved and all of the endless worldly energy in this place was suddenly trapped. The Allpine Treefather could no longer absorb the energy from below the ravine!
"What is going on?" Many people were surprised to see the three beasts and the vine root. They had never heard of these things before.
Inside the Beastmaster Citadel, one ancestor took a look at the area and spoke: "There is an unproven legend. It states that after Immortal Emperor Jin She obtained the Heaven's Will, he had gone to a wondrous place inhabited by an immortal vine and three Demon Forefathers. He asked them to come to the ravine, and in exchange, he would use the ravine's energy from their land to groom them. As payment, they must help the ravine if a calamity were to befall the sect."
"Boom! Boom!" The three beasts wanted to destroy the chariot first and commenced their assault. However, the four divine beasts protecting the chariot blocked any possible damage in a brief moment.
"Should we go out and fight?!" The moment she saw these three beasts, Long Jingxian was excited and ready for battle.
Li Qiye stood up and said: "No need, it's time to end this!" With that, a death energy appeared. The Death Chapter rushed to the sky as his terrifying aura engulfed the world. It was as if he was a Death God from the land of death — able to reap the lives of the endless eras.
Chapter 902: Destruction Of The Heavenhoof Ravine
The death energy from the chapter sealed the entire world. This terrifying energy turned the surrounding millions of miles into a hell, the energy refusing to disperse.
The death god, Li Qiye, was now the ruler of the entire world!
"Just what is this merit law?" All the big shots were shaking at the sight of this all-engulfing energy. Many ancestors that had been sealed for many years still couldn't recognize this law!
Even Jian Wushuang was startled to see the huge amount of death energy. She was the first to be exposed to this technique. However, his energy back then was not as powerful as it was now. It was of an unimaginable level that could blot out the sky in the blink of an eye!
Of course, she didn't know that after falling into the Beast Realm, Li Qiye had killed his way out. Through that baptism of blood, he gathered a huge amount of deathly energy in his Death Seal.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Just when everyone was wondering what technique he was cultivating, the entire world suddenly quaked!
"Owwwrr!" The howling of beasts filled the sky, causing all existences to tremble. Terrifying auras of divine beasts suddenly surged and loomed over the entire world.
"Bang!" The sky quickly collapsed. From this crack, one divine beast after another rushed out.
Golden Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Kun Peng, Ninehead Demon, Gluttonous Fiend… all of these mythical creatures heeded Li Qiye's summon!
"Oh god, is this real? Are divine beasts actually invading our world?!" Even Virtuous Paragons fell flat to the ground from fear. Their sudden appearance frightened countless powerful characters out of their minds!
In the legends, a single matured Golden Dragon could oppose an Immortal Emperor. Now, all of these different legendary beasts appeared all at once. Even if an Immortal Emperor was here, they still wouldn't be able to fight such a force! This number of divine beasts could destroy the entire Stone Medicine World in an instant!
An existence of the Godking level saw through them and murmured: "No, no, these aren't living divine beasts. They are only corpses that have been dead for who knows how many years. They no longer have any traces of divinity either."
"Boom!" These creatures came flying. It didn't matter whether they were alive or mere corpses, at this second, they seemed to have been reborn and unleashed their strongest power.
When these creatures arrived, the three giant beasts that wanted to destroy the chariot were scared out of their minds. They were called Demon Forefathers, but compared to real divine beasts, they were not even worthy of being called juniors.
Demons had an instinctive fear of divine beasts. If it was just one skeleton, then perhaps they could give it a good fight! However, the sheer amount of beasts destroyed even the tiniest dregs of their courage. They wanted to flee but were surrounded by these beasts in an instant!
Not to mention them, even three Godkings would quake in fear after being trapped by this battalion of beasts. These were legendary existences; after all, a single matured Golden Dragon was already able to fight an Immortal Emperor for some time!
"Aooo—" They had no other choice and howled as they prepared themselves. Cornered beasts will still fight! They lunged themselves at these immortal beasts.
Li Qiye only smiled as the death chapter continued to move and transform. The immortal beasts all cried out as well to kill these three beasts.
Keep in mind that a phoenix alone was able to kill a God-Monarch back at the Alchemy Kingdom. With so many leading creatures like Golden Dragons, Phoenixes, and Kun Pengs, even a Godking would be massacred.
"Ooooo—" The three gigantic beasts screamed as a horrifying tearing sound echoed in the sky! All three were ripped apart as their blood spurted from their bodies. No matter how they struggled, it was all for naught.
Anyone, even Godkings, would shiver and break out in a cold sweat after seeing three powerful creatures being torn apart like this.
Jian Wushuang was speechless after seeing this. She had almost grown accustomed to Li Qiye's heaven-defying nature. Ye Qingcheng's so-called incredible means were only child’s play compared to him!
"What a shame that they aren't living immortal beasts. Otherwise, riding one would be even more awe-inspiring." Long Jingxian, on the other hand, was full of regrets despite her excitement at seeing these wondrous creatures.
These summoned beasts were the skeletons inside the ancestral graves of the Divine Beast Realm. The last time Li Qiye went there, he imprinted the Death Chaper into them, allowing him to summon this many of them in an instant.
"Rawr!" After killing the three beasts, these immortal creatures headed straight for the ravine's ancestral ground. Such a force was unstoppable; even Godkings had no choice but to accept their deaths!
"What, is there any justice in this world? Li Qiye doesn't need to do anything himself, he can already massacre an imperial lineage. He is only using the ravine for entertainment or a little exercise!" Any sect or powerful existence would find this whole string of events utterly terrifying!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A supreme formation like the three emperors formation couldn't withstand the assault of so many beasts either. It broke apart in just a moment.
"No…" Under the attack of the divine beasts and the treefather, the two Godkings from the ravine were murdered. They couldn’t accept this defeat even at the very last moment since they believed that with the emperor formation, they could kill even a Godking. They would have never expected this result.
"Screechh!" Next was the miserable scream of the Three-legged Golden Crow. It was torn apart by the divine beasts as well. Its endless refined sunfire splashed everywhere until eventually returning to the sun.
The imperial formation, two Godkings, and the Golden Crow were all annihilated. This left the surviving disciples of the ravine in a state of despair!
At this moment in a far away location in the Stone Medicine World, a particular altar could be found. Someone was chanting an incantation to call back the imperial weapons.
If anyone could see the people on the altar, they would definitely be surprised. One was Ravine Master Miao and the other was the famous Scorpion God, an ex-general of Immortal Emperor Jin She.
Back at Bi'an City, the old scorpion was very wily. He noticed that the situation wasn't looking optimistic and was the first to escape without any regard for his reputation. Because of his actions, he was the only one who left the city alive!
"Ommm—" After receiving the summons, the two true treasures and seven life treasures wanted to escape!
However, the divine beasts quickly trapped these nine weapons. Li Qiye came out from his chariot and stood before them.
"Boom!" The two true treasures wanted to open a supreme domain. Two majestic shadows emerged from the weapons. At the same time, the seven life treasures also erupted with bright lights. The imperial aura emitting from these seven weapons made the two shadows even more terrifying.
At this time, the entire world trembled. This powerful might seemed ready to crush the entire world at any time. People stood with bated breaths while watching this unraveling battle.
However, Li Qiye remained carefree before such might.
"Boom!" His thousand hands appeared along with the thirteen palaces. They controlled his wondrous weapons that included the yin yang mirror, the mountain bell, the pentagate, and the green lamp… Every single one of them exuded an aura that would frighten anyone!
Many people stared at this scene in palpitation. They wondered if this battle was going to crush the entire world or not.
"If you spirits want to fight, I'll be happy to oblige!" Li Qiye smiled at the two majestic shadows: "I'll give you two choices right now. One, this true treasure shall obediently stay behind for me; you will unlock your heavenly seal and obey me forever! Two, I'll destroy all of you indiscriminately, even if it means that I won't get a single weapon! If you all don't believe me, just try me!"
Having said that, he pointed at one of the two true treasures. He wanted to forcibly keep this one since he viewed it with high regard!
The two majestic shadows were flashing inside this tight encirclement.
Many people drew deep breaths when they saw Li Qiye threatening these existences that others worshiped as deities. However, after having thought about it, hadn't Li Qiye also threatened the Coiling Dragon Banner three days ago? In the end, it quietly surrendered.
This only stunned the crowd and solidified their opinion on just how Li Qiye was too heaven-defying and scary!
