Chapter 2768: Central Ancestral Monarch

The saintess had stood up and glared intensely at Li Qiye . Meanwhile, he was still sleeping with his sword placed on top of his knees . Nothing in the world seemed to matter to him .

The spectators were focused on his sword . It didn’t emit a flashing glint nor a sword aura . It appeared docile, looking very normal with its master .

Nevertheless, this sword and its ordinary master became the ruler of everything, the decider of fate - exerting judgment with a single slash .

“Anyone else?” Li Qiye opened his eyes and asked nonchalantly .

His casual demeanor right now suffocated everyone . They felt as if there was an invisible hand gripping their throat while being nervous for the saintess .

She looked quite imperious in the beginning . In fact, everyone thought that her sect would definitely be able to kill Li Qiye after he entered the palace .

Who would have thought that reality would be so different? It looked like the ones unable to leave this place alive were the saintess and her men, not Li Qiye .

All of the disciples from central ranging from the saintess to the ancestors might not be able to leave this palace today .

“I’m coming . ” The saintess spoke with an austere expression .

People worried about her even more . She clearly wasn’t a match for him despite being a ninth-level Ascender .

He killed Eternals earlier so easily, so an Ascender was nothing compared to his sword .

“Can she stop one slash?” An expert murmured .

They weren’t looking down on her at all . It was just that the power disparity was so blatantly clear . Remember, Voidmeld Ancestor was so many times stronger than her . He even had the help of an even stronger ancestor yet he still died to one slash .

“Maybe she can struggle for a bit . ” One Eternal hesitated for a moment before answering: “Despite her low cultivation, she had access to top merit laws and maybe an ancestral weapon . She should have ways to defend herself . ”

As the successor of Central Sacred Ground, she should have plenty of treasures and unique advantages . However, this still shouldn’t be enough for her to survive . The Eternals in the crowd thought so too .

“You? Will die after one slash . ” Li Qiye glanced at her and chuckled .

A character like her became so insignificant before him now . His words seemed to be the judgment of life and death .

“We’ll find out soon enough . ” She spoke coldly and had prepared for death .

This person had killed so many members of her sect . There was no going back on this irreconcilable feud . They needed to destroy Mountguard in order to have a place in the system . Otherwise, their reputation and prestige would be gone .

As the saintess of Central and the future queen of Eight Trigrams, she couldn’t back down and lower her head in front of Li Qiye .

She was responsible for the glory of two great powers . She would rather die before doing anything that could harm her sects’ reputation .

She put on a serious expression and started walking down the steps, fully aware that this was a path of no return .

“I will take on your slash . ” She glared at him after reaching the base, ready for a fight .

“Boom!” A third party descended from the sky and interrupted the battle between the two .

He stood before the saintess as his robe fluttered to the wind, looking just like a supreme deity . His gray hair was shiny as if they were silver threads . This made him look even more magnificent and mighty .

He seemed like a massive mountain . No one could get through him to get to the saintess .

“Ancestral Monarch!” The saintess shouted in astonishment .

“Central Ancestral Monarch . ” A spectating ancestor said: “Okay, that’s one of the strongest ancestors from Central . He was already an Aramanthine Ancestral since the previous generation, a great genius back then too . ”

Many Eternals have heard of this particular ancestor . They didn’t expect to see him today .

“So he’s still alive . ” Someone else commented .

“You interfered earlier . ” Li Qiye didn’t think his arrival was a big deal .

The monarch’s eyes narrowed . His opponent didn’t care at all despite knowing his power level . This was a hint to the guy’s real power .

He realized that their sect had kicked an iron plate . Thousands of disciples have died for naught today . He couldn’t back down and needed to demand an answer from Li Qiye .

“Since when does Mountguard have an ancestor like you?” His eyes became resplendent, seemingly going back on the river of time in order to understand Li Qiye .  [1]

Unfortunately, regardless of the dao derivation in his eyes, he couldn’t see a single clue about Li Qiye’s identity . He racked his brains and couldn’t connect Li Qiye to a famous ancestor from Mountguard either .

Mountguard had produced many powerful ancestors before but this person didn’t resemble any of them .

“The world is full of surprises, it’s no big deal . ” Li Qiye smiled .

“Very well, I will accept your slash . ” The monarch made up his mind .

“Boom!” His twelve palaces shot to the sky and turned into a simple yet pure grand dao . This was at the level of temporal search .

He seemed to be standing on the river of time and could reach any era he wanted .

“An Amaranthine Eternal is indeed very strong . ” The other Eternals became envious after he activated his power .

“You are insufficient to stop my sword . ” Li Qiye smiled .

The monarch was under great pressure . He suddenly realized that he had no chance of stopping Li Qiye .

“Ancestral Monarch, I’ll go first . ” The saintess said with a heavy tone .

“No, child, you are not his match . It is futile . ” The monarch shook his head, aware of her intention .
