Sage Monarch - Chapter 220

Chapter 220: 220

“Well, if it isn’t you, brat! So, you used Blightczar Manyrivers to get close enough to assassinate me . Dammit, why didn’t I think to prepare for something like this!? Your plan to get close to me worked, I’ll give you that . But don't think for a second that you’ll actually kill me . ” There was no denying that Yang Qi had destroyed Blightczar Manyshadows’ five phases defense, and stabbed him deeply with a spear, causing severe damage to his meridians .

“Ultimate Five Phases Transformation; Perfect Enlightenment of Heaven and Earth; the Sun and Moon, True Monarchs; Destroy all Confinements!”

All of a sudden, the mighty power of the five phases once again erupted around Blightczar Manyshadows, creating such a powerful energy flow that not even a Spirit-Soul Legendary would be able to break through it without dying in the process .

Unfortunately for him, Yang Qi had the Grand Emperor's Pagoda, which could defend him against spatial tempests . And Blightczar Manyrivers was a Space-Void Legendary who could himself similarly withstand deadly tempests . With the two of them working together, there was no way this move of Blightczar Manyshadows would possibly hurt them .

“Don’t blame me for this, Elder Brother . Yang Qi has me completely and utterly under his control . I'm unable to act of my own volition . ” Blightczar Manyrivers was visibly frustrated, but had no choice other than to attack with full force . Each move he used was deadly in nature, and contained the corrosive power of rot, making it seem like a god of poisons had descended into the world of men .

The attacks came with such fury that Blightczar Manyshadows could barely breathe .

“Detonate!” Yang Qi said, twisting his spear and causing it to explode . His entire plan had been to blast away Blightczar Manyshadows’s defenses with his Lord's Eye, then stab him with the Infernal Deity Spear .

Normally speaking, just stabbing someone with a spear would be enough to kill them, even a Legendary . That was exactly what had occurred with Patriarch Mongolbeast .

And now, he was trying to do that to Blightczar Manyshadows .

Unfortunately, a massive expression of true energy suddenly erupted from within Blightczar Manyshadows and wrapped around the Infernal Deity Spear like a tight cord . As of this moment, Yang Qi couldn’t even pull his spear free, let alone detonate it an attack .

‘What an incredibly strong fleshly body! So, the Five-Phases Transformation pushes the vital energy of the five phases to the ultimate limit . This is far stronger than the Space-Void Transformation . Dealing with Blightczar Manyrivers was easy, but not this Blightczar Manyshadows . ’ Although he was shocked, he quickly adapted, and dispersed his true energy, causing the Infernal Deity Spear to vanish .

“Sovereign Lord of Heaven and Earth; the Glory of the Lord; Judgement and Majesty!”

Swish!

Yang Qi flew up into the air and disappeared into the Grand Emperor's Pagoda . Up to this point, the pagoda had been suppressed by Blightczar Manyshadows’ five phases power . But now that Yang Qi was inside, he took control of the various spell formations, causing bright light to shine as the image of a grand emperor appeared .

Beneath his feet was a black turtle, and on either side was an azure dragon and a white tiger . Hovering above him in the air was a vermillion bird, and a flying snake was wrapped around his torso . As soon as he appeared, a mighty aura swept out that transformed the entire surrounding audience hall into ashes .

“Prepare to die!” the grand emperor said, and his voice was none other than Yang Qi's . “You want to exterminate my Yang Clan? How about instead I exterminate your House of Shadowblight? You won’t escape from this tribulation, Blightczar Manyshadows . ” Then he roared, a sound so mighty that it could crush millions upon millions of mountains, cause seas to dry up, and rocks to melt .

“Blightgod Overturns Heaven!” Blightczar Manyshadows shouted back . Thanks to Yang Qi’s sneak attack, his vital energy had been harmed, along with his meridians and sea of energy . Even his soul was badly hurt, leaving him like a cornered animal ready to fight to the death . And in his desperate struggle to stay alive, he unleashed even more power than he thought was possible .

Flying to meet the incoming attack, he projected a message to Yang Qi with divine will . “You’re gonna die, you hear me?! I can’t believe you ambushed me! When I escape, I’ll heal up and then gather all the experts from the Blight Legion Church to wipe the Yang Clan off the map . You’ve got some guts, I have to admit that, but you're too reckless!”

A blightgod appeared behind him, pitch black and surrounded with roiling black energy . Bubbles of poison could be seen on his skin, which constantly popped and then reformed . All in all, he was a terrifying, vicious entity . If he exploded, it would send out a storm of poison that would exterminate all life within five hundred kilometers, even down to the grass and roots . In fact, the dirt itself would end up a toxic sludge .

However, Yang Qi in grand emperor form simply opened his third eye, causing the glory of the Lord to spill out . It contained boundless majesty, holy hymns, and inscriptions from the legion of gods . It was like an epic poetic saga as grand as the sea of stars itself .

In the blink of an eye, the toxic energy was vanquished and removed from existence .

At the same time, a voice spoke from within the light, using that most holy and boundless Godtongue .

“The Lord's Eye is the eye of heaven, and is filled with glory, blessing, eternity, and history… . No evil can escape it . Sinners, your evil will vanish in the face of the Lord’s light . Your soul will follow the brilliance of the Lord into the eternal kingdom of heaven, to drink of immortality… . ”

Anyone who heard that voice would feel their soul trembling and stifled . It was an instinctual thing, like the reverence mortals felt for heaven, or that spirits felt for the legion of gods .

WHIZZZ!

Blightczar Manyshadows’ blightgod shattered into nothing .

Still wearing the form of a grand emperor, Yang Qi strode forward and smashed his fist into Blightczar Manyshadows, causing him to cough up a massive mouthful of blood, and shoving him backward through the wreckage of the hall .

“DIE!” Blightczar Manyshadows drew on both true energy and life force quintessence itself, summoning an enormous, ancient dagger-axe . [1] 

“Ancient Blightlegion Dagger-Axe! Transform the world of humans into a sea of toxins! Destroy all living things! Destruction! I want destruction! Bring this world to ruin with me! Blightlegion Godslaying! Exterminate everything under heaven!”

Toxic energy filled the area as the ancient dagger-axe slashed through the air toward Yang Qi’s forehead .

Obviously, Blightczar Manyshadows realized that Yang Qi’s third eye, and the light it cast, was a terrifying threat that he had to eliminate . That was his last and only hope .

“Those who profane the light of the Lord shall perish!”

RUMBLE!

Just when it seemed like Yang Qi would be split in half by the Ancient Blightlegion Dagger-Axe, burning sagefire shot out from the Lord's Eye, becoming something almost like golden shackles made from magical law .

Clank! 

The dagger-axe lurched to a stop three meters from Yang Qi’s forehead, and could move no farther . It was completely locked in place by pure golden chains .

“Be broken!” Yang Qi said, and the dagger-axe shattered into fragments . Sensing how weak Blightczar Manyshadows was, he continued, “The Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth scares hells into submission, and can exercise control over billions of planes of existence . Prepare to see my ultimate move, Blightczar Manyshadows . Then you will understand the true meaning of despair . ”

Immensely powerful true energy erupted out as the image of the grand emperor shattered, to be replaced by a god-spirit that surpassed any grand emperor by billions of times . It was an entity who could trample the eternal sands of hell and support all the gods in the halls of heaven . It was a godmammoth!

It had an elephantine head, a human body, and a powerful trunk . Its fists were like suns or moons, and its feet could trample all existence .

Without even the slightest pause, the godmammoth struck out, landing a fist onto Blightczar Manyshadows .

Cracks spread out over the man’s body, and he let out a shocked scream . Blood began to spray out, and his eyes went slack as his true energy began to dissipate .

“You’re mine now!” It was a blow intended to be fatal, and as a result, Blightking Manyshadows’ life force was already spilling out of him in dramatic fashion, and there was nothing he could do to stop it .

It was all thanks to the sneak attack . If Blightczar Manyshadows had been prepared, there was no way he would be in such a desperate situation right now .

The trunk of a godmammoth could inhale the power of the stars, so there was no way Blightczar Manyshadows could do anything about it . The trunk snaked out, grabbed him, and tossed him into the Grand Emperor's Pagoda, where he disappeared . From the perspective of any outsider, it would be impossible to determine whether he was alive or dead .

**

Moments before… .

“Not good . It’s Yang Qi!”

As soon as the fight broke out, Huang Hou and his companions had flown out of the hall and used true energy shields to protect themselves . As such, they had no idea what was happening inside . Soon, the hall itself collapsed into rubble .

Then, they saw Yang Qi transform into what looked like a god-spirit, whose powerful trunk grabbed Blightczar Manyshadows and threw him into the Grand Emperor's Pagoda .

The final scream that echoed out across the battlefield proved that Yang Qi had won the fight .

‘Yang Qi ambushed Blightczar Manyshadows and won! Blightczar Manyshadows is dead!’ That was what all of the students from the Demi-Immortal Institute were thinking . After all, they weren’t fools, and they could easily piece together what had just played out .

The holy neophyte Huang Hou was quick to assess the situation and come to a decision . “Let’s get out of here! Yang Qi’s a Legendary, and he has the Grand Emperor's Pagoda! None of us are a match for him . Even worse, he has control of a Space-Void Legendary, Blightczar Manyrivers . There’s no way we can fight them . ”

Unfortunately, a massive force settled down over the area, locking it down . Before they could do anything, Yang Qi appeared in front of them, and sent out his true energy to block their path .

“Where do you think you’re going? You think you can run off, just like that? You were just working out a deal with Blightczar Manyshadows to exterminate my Yang Clan . You were even going to go so far as to offer my Aunt Susu to these heretical wretch-devils . ”

Huang Hou, Lei Tao, Qu Ling, Xie Feng, and the other students from the Crown Prince Society were all extremely famous . But in front of Yang Qi they seemed like little more than shivering chickens .
