Chapter 2040: 2040
Having witnessed the death of the Sky-Breaking Monarch, all the self-cultivators gathered around the scene fell into a shocked silence .
After the silence, a wave of chatter arose .
"See that? The Sky-Breaking Monarch is dead . He's been killed by Qingfeng Li!"
"Of course I saw it! The Sky-Breaking Monarch is one of the Four Supreme Monarchs . He'd even fought the Crimson Fire Monarch for dominion over the planet five thousand years ago . "
"I thought it would be Qingfeng Li who was going to die . But it was the Sky-Breaking Monarch, what a surprise!"
"Didn't you see? Qingfeng Li has reached the half-step saint realm . That's a level of power that could shake up heaven and earth!"
In the distance, all the self-cultivators discussed amongst themselves as they stared at Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with shock and awe .
Before this, they had only heard tales about Qingfeng Li's power . However, now he's killed one of the Monarchs of the Four Supreme Dynasties .
The Crimson Fire Monarch had even issued a monarch decree, promising a half-step saint level technique and a favor to anyone on the entire continent who could hunt down Qingfeng Li . However, now that they had seen him kill the Sky-Breaking Monarch, many of them suppressed the greed that had been bubbling up within them . They knew that, although Qingfeng Li's head was worth a fortune, they would die for sure if they tried anything .
From the sidelines, the Black Monarch Python was terrified by what it had just witnessed . Having watched its Master being killed by Qingfeng Li, it turned and prepared to escape . Even though its tail had been severed by Qingfeng Li, its body was still intact .
Qingfeng Li looked in the direction in which the Black Monarch Python had fled . A cold light danced across his eyes as he released two beams of Yin-Yang light . This was an ability he had gained after practicing the Yin-Yang Saint Technique .
Having reached the half-step saint realm, Qingfeng Li was now very powerful . His attack now contained a hint of saint level energy . In an instant, the light shot onto the Black Monarch Python's body, severing its head . With a shriek of agony, its body fell to the ground, dead .
Qingfeng Li reached toward the dead python's abdomen and released a pulling force, drawing the demon nucleus into his hand .
This was a ninth level monarch realm demon nucleus, something that could greatly boost Sky-Devouring Snake's power . Qingfeng Li casually tossed the demon nucleus in his hand toward his snake companion .
Sky-Devouring Snake's eyes lit up in delight as it opened its maw and caught the demon nucleus in the air .
It knew that this demon nucleus was from the Black Monarch Python that had just been killed . It had belonged to a powerful demonic beast . Once it absorbed this demon nucleus, its power would increase greatly .
With its razor-sharp fangs, Sky-Devouring Snake bit down and cracked the demon nucleus in half . Then, swallowing the thing, it began to use its Snake Ancestor Superpower to break it down .
In just a short while, the entire demon nucleus had been completely dissolved, its immense power absorbed by Sky-Devouring Snake, adding to its demon essence .

Sky-Devouring Snake's power grew continuously until, after a short time, it reached the ninth level of the spirit monarch realm .
Sensing the increase in Sky-Devouring Snake's power, Black Puppy's eyes filled with envious admiration . It was now weaker than Sky-Devouring Snake now . If they fought, it would be no match for Sky-Devouring Snake .
Sky-Devouring Snake swung its tail at Black Puppy, whipping it into the air .
Furious, Black Puppy roared, "Stinking snake! What are you attacking me for?"
Sky-Devouring Snake chuckled . "You were always picking on me before," it said . "Now that I'm stronger, of course I'm going to teach you a lesson . "
Black Puppy opened its mouth, releasing a black vortex, which flew at Sky-Devouring Snake .
After the increase to its strength, Sky-Devouring Snake had gained new power . It opened its mouth and ate up the black vortex . Then, it swung its tail again and slammed it down on Black Puppy's head, leaving a large bruise . Black Puppy hissed in pain .
Qingfeng Li watched the two demonic beasts exchange blows with furrowed brows . "You two," he said, "stop messing around . We're leaving for Fire Monarch Mountain right now to rescue Ruyan Liu and Little Apple . There's no time to waste . "
Hearing this, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake ceased their battle .

Black Puppy glared at Sky-Devouring Snake, eyes filled with resentment . It silently swore to itself, When I get stronger myself, I'm going to put this stinking snake in its place!
Sky-Devouring Snake paid no mind to Black Puppy's glare . It swung its tail back and forth, its expression smug .
Whenever these two had met, they would inevitably begin to either quarrel or fight . It had become a habit for them .
Qingfeng Li led Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, and the others toward the Fire Monarch Mountain . They encountered no dangers during the journey .
No one dared to attack Qingfeng Li . Neither the self-cultivators of powerful sects, nor the hidden demons, nor the powerful demonic beasts . They were now all well aware of Qingfeng Li's power .
This was a man capable of killing the Four Supreme Monarchs . Qingfeng Li could kill them all with ease . No matter how much money was on Qingfeng Li's head, no one was willing to give up their lives . After all, everyone only had one life to lose .
Right now, the entire continent was discussing Qingfeng Li's astonishing feat . Having slain two Supreme Monarchs one after the other, his fame now spread over the entire Crimson Fire Continent .
"Qingfeng Li's going to fight the Crimson Fire Monarch at the Fire Monarch Mountain . Who do you guys think will win?"
"Is that even a question? Of course it will be the Crimson Fire Monarch . He's the ruler of the entire planet who holds power over the heavens and earth!"

"I don't think so . You're forgetting that Qingfeng Li had already killed two Supreme Monarchs, both of whom fought with the Crimson Fire Monarch five thousand years ago . "
"Don't underestimate the Crimson Fire Monarch . Rumour has it that he's moving toward the Saint Realm . Once he becomes a Saint, killing Qingfeng Li would be a cakewalk for him . "
"As if it's that easy to break through to the Saint Realm . Even the Sun Monarch from five thousand years ago never became a Saint . How could the Crimson Fire Monarch manage it?"
The entire world of self-cultivators was caught up in the debate, most of them discussing the matter of Qingfeng Li and the Crimson Fire Monarch . The majority favored the Crimson Fire Monarch, and not Qingfeng Li .
Of course, Qingfeng Li's friends and followers were all rooting for him, but their numbers were few .
Some even went and placed bets with powerful trading companies on whether it would be Qingfeng Li or the Crimson Fire Monarch that won .
An example of this was the Crimson Fire Business Alliance, the most powerful trading company on the Crimson Fire Continent, presided over by Ya Yun's father, Tianxing Yun .
Tianxing Yun raised a thin brow . "Daughter," he said, "who do you think we should bet on? The Crimson Fire Monarch? Or Qingfeng Li?"
"Father, I think Qingfeng Li will win," Ya Yun responded . "We can place all of our wagers on Qingfeng Li . I have confidence in him . "
Tianxing Yun gave Ya Yun an odd look . He didn't know where his daughter got such confidence .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
