Chapter 993: Visiting The Prime Peak
Li Qiye shouted: "Open!" His yell reverberated across the entire starry sky. He didn't hold anything back and unleashed all of his blood energy.
His life wheel emerged and poured out a crazy amount of longevity blood. The Yin Yang Sea of Blood erupted in the most tyrannical fashion to deliver an endless torrent of blood.
This amount of blood energy was even more terrifying than an ocean. It whirled around and became tornadoes that swept through the sky.
However, his blood energy alone couldn't open this bronze box. He activated all of his laws and his thirteen palaces soared to the sky.
At the same time, the vessel of life, vessel of genesis, and vessel of athanasia floated above his head. They released the most powerful force in this world — the life force from countless existences. It was more than enough to supply three thousand worlds for an eternity…
He also summoned one treasure after another: Dao Sword, green lamp, Yin Yang Mirror, small coffin… All of his most powerful weapons were taken out.
He topped it off by opening his mind. One Immortal Emperor soared out after another and took control of the weapons!
Meanwhile, Li Qiye personally used the World Seal and unleashed Heavenly Annihilations strong enough to suppress the nine heavens. What was even more frightening was when Li Qiye attacked with a time-halting annihilation; with a buzz, even the huge stone statue was petrified in its entirety.
As he exerted all of his methods, the entire space trembled. World-ending forces swept through this area, causing stars to explode and illuminate the surroundings.
If there were outsiders here to witness Li Qiye's ultimate suppression, they would be quaking with fear even if they were Godkings. Death was inevitable if they were to be the victim of such an onslaught!
"Open for me!" Li Qiye commanded. His longevity blood reddened the entire area, finally allowing him to move the heaven and earth's myriad dao.
Under this urging from Li Qiye, the bronze statue radiated a blinding light. Runes flew out of the bronze statue. Each of these bronze runes was as immense as a mountain.
"Zzz—" Li Qiye rearranged these runes once more. This was an arduous process that was much easier said than done.
"Clank!" Eventually, he ordered all of them into a dao article that instantly entered the bronze box.
"Ka—" Clanking sounds came out of the box as it slowly floated upward.
"Success!" Li Qiye was ecstatic to see the box beginning to surface. He had waited until this day when he could obtain the box.
"Pop!" The box completely left the bronze statue. Li Qiye instantly put away his treasures and hastily grabbed the box!
"Rumble!" Before he could look at the item inside, the entire bronze statue suddenly shook as if an earthquake was coming.
"Not good…" Li Qiye was startled and instantly turned around to leave without any hesitation. He summoned a treasure and fled with haste.
"Rumble!" Right when he made it out, this space completely collapsed.
In the sky, one star collapsed after another like dumplings falling into a pot. Galaxies were instantly destroyed along with all of their stars…
This scene was extremely shocking, as if the end of the world was approaching. No existence could survive this immense destructive power, regardless of how powerful they might be.
"Boom!" Right when the entire area was about to collapse, the huge bronze statue suddenly shattered the void and instantly disappeared. Who knew where its destination was?
Outside of the Godwar Mountain, many people were full of regrets and pity for Li Qiye, especially the distraught humans. Li Qiye was the Fierce of the human race, the genius with a chance of surpassing Lin Tiandi and Jikong Wudi. However, he died an early death — this was a huge loss to the human race.
The Blood Race naturally did not share the same sentiment after his disappearance. It was a cause for celebration. This was one less problem for them in the future.
"Boom!" As many mixed feelings were in the air, a loud thump came about. A figure slammed into the Prime Peak.
"Look!" This sudden development attracted a lot of attention. Many people took a look and saw someone slamming into the mountain.
A keen-eyed fella clearly saw it and exclaimed with surprise: "It's Li Qiye…"
Li Qiye looked very downtrodden after slamming into the Prime Peak. Blood stained his robes and his entire body seemed to have been torn apart.
"He's still alive!" The humans were especially happy to see him.
A great character from the previous generation of the human race excitedly shouted: "Incredible, he managed to come back alive despite the dangers of the Prime Peak. Fierce is indeed fierce, tough to the point where even the old heavens can't take his life!"
The Blood Race was unhappy to see his return. The majority of their experts didn't look good anymore as they all had cold expressions.
Li Qiye got up. Despite his terrible appearance, he was still as relaxed as always. Moreover, he obtained a supreme item from that space. These injuries were not worth mentioning!
He patted the mud off his clothes and smiled before looking at the top of the peak. He then continued upward.
The spectators here watched with bated breaths. Their eyes were fixated on Li Qiye. For ages, no one had heard of someone who successfully climbed the Prime Peak. Everyone hoped that a miracle would happen. If Li Qiye could reach the top, then he would be breaking the impossible taboo from the old ages.
It was still a while till the summit, but Li Qiye had a dignified expression. He became cautious. This would come as a shock to those who knew him because very few things warranted such prudence from him.
He suddenly felt a small strand of killing intent. He shuddered and immediately took action but was half a beat too late.
"Xshh!" A red shade appeared in the air. This very weak killing intent instantly shot through his chest, causing his blood to spurt like a rainbow in the sky. It was quite beautiful and shocking.
"Pardon!" Li Qiye ignored his injury and opened his mind. A supreme pardon decree flew out.
"Zzz—" The decree pinned itself to the top of the peak and turned into a universal law that penetrated the muddy ground.
After it drilled into the soil, the weak killing intent finally disappeared. Li Qiye heaved a sigh of relief and channeled his laws and blood energy to treat his wound.
"What was that thing? Why was it so powerful?" No one could see the killing intent. They only saw Li Qiye's chest being pierced instantly without giving him a chance to resist. This made the spectators quiver!
Everyone had seen Li Qiye's ferocious power before, but he couldn't resist at all. Just how terrifying was this?
Li Qiye took a deep breath and slowly stood up. Finally, he reached the summit and disappeared from the public once more.
They could only watch him vanish. No one else could see the situation at the top or what was there.
Even if they flew up all the way to the nine heavens and opened a heavenly gaze capable of illuminating myriad realms, they still wouldn't be able to see the summit. This was because time and space were sealed there, not allowing anyone to spy.
The soil at the top was as red as blood. A terrifying sealing power assaulted him in a blatant manner that would cause anyone to quiver. Even Immortal Emperors would sense a threat coming from underground.
It could be said that the more powerful one was, the stronger the suppressive feeling would be in this place. The frightening part was that this power seemed to be aiming specifically for invincible existences like Immortal Emperors.
If an emperor stood in this place, they would be attacked by the most horrific force in this world, an extremely terrifying curse. This curse, to an emperor, was the most severe and ultimate type of offense!
Immortal Emperor Slaughtering Formation — after so many years, it was still hidden in this place deep underground. It aimed to destroy all things that belonged to the Ancient Ming in this location!
Back then, Immortal Emperor Long Ming and the strongest forces of the Dark Dragon Dynasty were killed here. After that final battle, the formation had always presided this location. It wanted to slowly grind out everything the Ancient Ming left here so that they would never be able to recover from the remnants.
After millions of years passed, everything had dissipated. This generation was the time for Li Qiye to take back the Immortal Emperor Slaughtering Formation because he could still use it in other places.
Chapter 994: Immortal Emperor Slaughtering Formation
"Zzz—" Li Qiye opened his mind. The most mysterious and frightening universal law in this world came together.
"Clank!" An arrow made from intertwining laws appeared in his hand.
"Pop!" He threw the arrow down into the red soil without any hesitation.
"Buzz!" The arrow was the center and the mystical dao runes were like rippling waves engulfing the entire Godwar Mountain.
"Bumm—" An overwhelming wave of sound emerged. When these mysterious dao runes covered the Godwar Mountain, endless lights rushed out of many of the peaks.
"Just what is going on?" The majority of the experts were all shocked due to the blinding light in the sky.
At this point, war banners soaring in the divine lights with rumbling war drums. A majestic army trampled across the world with an all-engulfing heroic aura. It was a force capable of destroying gods and devils as well as myriad worlds.
The sudden visual phenomenon in the sky caused everyone to tremble; they dropped straight to the ground with weakened knees.
Those who were watching carefully would find that the peaks that were emitting these lights were all places that Li Qiye had buried items at before.
The images in the divine lights disappeared very quickly. After a pop, the endless light instantly exploded and illuminated the world with a dazzling fireworks show.
The majority of the spectators here didn't know the significance behind this, but the ancient clans in the Holy City were completely immersed in this scene. These reclusive clans understood the meaning behind it.
"The supreme glory of the eons. How many people in this world right now know that in that place, even an Immortal Emperor was crucified to death." An ancestor in one of the mysterious clans was excited and passionately murmured: "Without His Excellency's protection, there would be no light in the nine worlds! All of the races back then were only the Ancient Ming's slaves."
As the crowd was still astonished by the sudden change, humming noises came from the summit of the Prime Peak. A silver light rushed out from the ground. It looked like mercury and slowly came together to take form.
In a short period of time, a silver arrow emerged and was stuck in the ground. Meanwhile, the supreme law in the form of an arrow instantly fused together with this silver arrow.
It emitted a flashing silver brilliance. Each wisp of light instilled a primal fear to all the spectators since these lights were capable of piercing through all things in this world.
Numerous dao runes were carved on this silver arrow. They were highly complicated and profound runes. Even the most brilliant genius wouldn't be able to understand them!
With a closer look, one would find that these dao runes were not actually carved on the arrow and instead were formed via a natural process. Or rather, these runes were the things that this silver arrow was made from.
Li Qiye emotionally commented: "Immortal Emperor Slaughtering Formation! The effort took to cast this thing…" This silver arrow required an unrealistic amount of effort from him and the wisdom of many sages. From one generation to the next, he continuously worked on this arrow by using an immense amount of natural treasures from this world.
It was not just a silver arrow. The things inside were priceless, making it much more valuable than Immortal Emperor True Treasures. Who knew that the supreme formation capable of killing Immortal Emperors was just a silver arrow?
Li Qiye took it out. In this world, he was the only one capable of pulling it out from the ground. He carefully looked at it before finally being at ease. He heaved a long sigh and murmured: "Very good, the tremendous amount of effort I spent in casting you was not in vain."
He solemnly put it away. In his eyes, it was of incomparable value. Imperial weapons were nowhere close to it.
"This is…" After putting it away, he noticed something in the red mud and decided to dig it out.
After the soil was dug out, an item showed itself. Li Qiye's eyes turned serious as he looked at it. After a careful observation, he murmured: "Incredible, their ultimate resources are too frightening. No wonder why the Ancient Ming were so heaven-defying. They truly are the favored children of the heavens; they have too many great items!"
With that, he put this item away as well. He turned back and looked at this location before gently sighing with an indescribable emotion. Too many unbearable memories were created in this place.
In the end, he softly spoke with an untold sadness: "Goodbye…" He decisively walked away without turning back.
Inside the mountain, many glares were on him. When he appeared before the crowd, someone couldn't help but shout: "He's coming down, he's coming down now!"
"Amazing, the title of the greatest genius across all the eons should belong to Li Qiye. He has broken the taboo, the only person to climb the Prime Peak and come back alive!" Someone loudly applauded. The human cultivators were jumping up and down in celebration.
The few Blood cultivators here were quite unhappy. They did not like the sound of him being the greatest genius across all the eons and responded with loud grunts. However, they didn't dispute this claim.
"The pride of us humans…" The human experts shouted as Li Qiye walked down from the Prime Peak.
A joyous atmosphere spread across the mountains. Many from the other races were excited to see Li Qiye break the unbreakable taboo. The humans were only short of firing off fireworks to celebrate this occasion.
A large group of cultivators came together, the vast majority being humans. They excitedly yelled at Li Qiye: "Young Master Li, you are too amazing. Winning glory for our human race, you are our pride!"
Another human cultivator quickly added: "Yes, yes, we'll count on Young Noble Li to revitalize the human race in the Barren Earth!"
In just a moment, many cultivators continuously congratulated him. Li Qiye only smiled in response since he wasn't interested in the glory of being the pride of the human race!
"Young Noble Li, this is not good." In the midst of the celebration, a human expert quickly rushed forward to tell Li Qiye a message.
"I just arrived at the Holy City, but the situation isn't looking optimistic." He said: "The Storm God has arrived. She captured the disciples from the Suhuang Country and entered the Thunder Tower. She declared that if you don't surrender in three days, she will kill anyone who is related to you."
"Storm God!" Many people were shocked to hear this name! The initially lively atmosphere cooled down all of a sudden. It was as if everyone was splashed with a pot of cold water over their heads.
Li Qiye's eyes turned cold. He didn't say anything but turned around towards the Holy City.
"This is not good, a bloody battle is about to start." Many people quickly followed him. Of course, the majority of them only wanted to watch the fun.
"The Storm God is finally here." A Blood expert saw Li Qiye's departure and sneered coldly: "Killing Chi Zixian and opposing Crimson Night will not end well for him. Who in the Barren Earth wouldn't give the Storm God some respect?! Even a Godking would have to back down, let alone a junior!"
The atmosphere of the Holy City was incredibly solemn. The news of the Storm God's arrival quickly spread, and the cultivators in the city didn't make a single sound. Many of them even left the city to avoid being caught in the storm.
The Storm God was an embellished title in the eyes of many people. It was more accurate to call her a tyrant. Some even secretly called her a witch!
She had control over the Crimson Night Kingdom, so everyone was quite fearful of her. This was not only due to her authority, what was more important was that her father was Immortal Emperor Chen Xue!
Even though it has been quite some time since the emperor was in this world, many ancestors and ancient lineages in the Barren Earth or even the entire Mortal Emperor World had received his favors and kindness before.
This was especially true for the Blood Race. Many ancient existences that stayed away from the mundane world were once his generals!
As the emperor's daughter, Feng Piaoluo had quite an influence when she wanted to rally supporters, unlike others. Not even Godkings could compare to her in this regard.
According to the legends, when the emperor was still in this world, he entrusted his generals to take care of the Storm God in the future.
Although many of his generals were buried underground and slumbering, their descendants and sects still supported her. Who was to blame for her being the emperor's daughter, an imperial princess that was still alive to this day?!
Despite being known as a Godking, she was definitely not the most powerful existence in the southern region. Nevertheless, other Godkings wouldn't want to provoke her because it was the same as poking a hornet's nest.
To be frank, offending the Storm God was the same as offending the entire Blood Race in the Barren Earth!
