Sage Monarch - Chapter 385

Chapter 385: 385

If Yang Qi said he was going to make a move, he would .

And he wouldn’t give people a chance to react or prepare . After the events in the Hell of Mahānata, he was in the position to dominate Without Limit Sages in a fight .

And that was before the blessing of the immortal world . Now that the God Legion Seal had produced true Blood of the One God, he wasn’t sure how strong he was, and was curious to find out .

Considering that Chief Lion had openly insulted and provoked him, he was obviously the perfect test subject .

The Hand of the One God shot toward Chief Lion, following a profound, prescribed path of motion .

RUMBLE!

Before Chief Lion could react, the hand slammed into him, and he was sent tumbling backward, coughing up blood, and his golden mane of hair thrown into disarray .

“How dare you ambush me, you little bastard!”

“Ambush you? This is no ambush . This is a straight-up duel to the death, with plenty of witnesses . ” Yang Qi began to walk toward Chief Lion . “You insult me? I kill you and all your Lionfolk . That’s how I do things . ”

The other Demonfolk chiefs made to interfere, but Yan Wubing blocked their way .  

“What do you think you’re doing?” he said . “The young master said he wants a fair duel with Chief Lion, right in front of all these witnesses . Don’t tell me that you Demonfolk chiefs are going to gang up on him? Are you really that faceless?”

The chiefs immediately hesitated . Although Demonfolk didn’t care as much about things like ganging up, or bullying, it was obvious that Yang Qi was in the younger generation . For an entire group of chiefs like them to join forces against him publicly would be a bit too embarrassing .

It was made worse by the fact that Yang Qi had loudly challenged Chief Lion . If Chief Lion refused to fight him, it would make him seem weak and powerless, and would make it impossible for the Lionfolk to maintain their dignity .

Chief Lion finally threw his head back and roared . “Fine, you little bastard . You want to duel me? That’s suicide for you, but I'm happy to accommodate . And considering how many witnesses there are, nobody can blame me for your death . Fury of the Lion King!”

Roar!

He thrust his hands out in front of him, causing an immense ball of lightning to form .

In the blink of an eye, it seemed like the entire universe had been turned into lightning . It was none other than his sage domain, which quickly spread out to cover Yang Qi in shocking fashion .

“That’s all you’ve got?” Yang Qi said . He thrust his hand out again, and sagelight formed into the Hand of the One God . The drop of the Blood of the One God in his forehead ignited, sending fire through his meridians and out his pores . Instantly, flames engulfed the area, shining like the brilliance of enlightenment .

Smack!

The surrounding sage domain collapsed, and the lightning vanished . Yang Qi’s five fingers were like pillars that could prop up heaven, and they struck fear deep into the heart of Chief Lion .

It was time to go for broke!

Chief Lion took a deep breath, and his golden hair suddenly burst into flame .  

“Echo Heaven, Mirror Earth! Divine Throne of the Lion! I hereby sacrifice my blood to the ancestors . Let the Lion God come!”

RUMBLE!

A rift opened high above, and something that looked like a lion appeared, some sort of Lionfolk god-spirit from the highest heavens .

“Be destroyed!” Yang Qi said calmly . The Heaven-Burying Bow and Heaven-Wasting Arrows appeared, and took aim at the lion high in the sky .

Twang, twang, twang… .  

Immense power was unleashed as the sun-like streams of light shot up into the sky .

The lion erupted into flames, and then everything shook violently as the sky above was turned into pure primal-chaos .

“Such incredible power! That’s a real immortal item!”

“The Heaven-Burying Bow and the Heaven-Wasting Arrows!”

“It completely disrupted Chief Lion’s summoning move . ”

“Look, Yang Qi is using killing moves . ”

Yang Qi crossed his arms in front of him as he resorted to a consummate technique, causing dazzling sagelight to erupt out, making it impossible for anyone to see clearly what he was doing .

“Fist of the Halls of Heaven; Hand of the One God!”

He began to speed forward, burning the Blood of the One God he had, and converting it into raw power . This time, he was using the Hand of the One God to incredible effect . An immense hand appeared, a hand that could hold the legion of gods, that could inscribe myths, that was the origin of time . It was the hand of the creator of the universe .

“The Glory of the Lord is a Deluge on Space-Time, From Ancient Times Until Now… . ” Holy hymns could be heard, the praises of the legion of gods, spoken in Godtongue that no one could understand .

Smack!

In the blink of an eye, Yang Qi was in front of Chief Lion, destroying all of his defenses with the Hand of the One God .

Chief Lion’s eyes went wide, and he threw his hands out, roaring defiantly .

True energy erupted like a tempest as Yang Qi said, “All the hells belong to the One God . ”

WHIZZZ!

The Hand of the One God continued onward with countless profound transformations . Blinding light mixed with complete darkness, like that of infinite hells from the depths of the universe .

Crack! 

Chief Lion’s outstretched hands immediately were torn to shreds, and he was thrown backward into the air .

Yang Qi didn’t stop . He continued onward, pushing the Hand of the One God forward to grab onto Chief Lion, and then rip him in two .

Blood exploded, raining down everywhere, accompanied by an agonized shriek .

Yang Qi had literally ripped Chief Lion into two pieces .

Just like that, the mighty chief of the Lionfolk perished .

Despite the rain of blood, Yang Qi remained pure and clean within the sagelight, making him seem like a god-spirit descended from heaven .

Meanwhile, porcelain-colored flame descended onto the corpse of Chief Lion, burning him out of existence . No one dared to interfere, and the other Lionfolk were already fleeing .

When the process was over, Yang Qi put Chief Lion’s sage motes and magical laws into his God Legion Paradise, strengthening it further .

“Chief Lion is dead! He was an eighth step Great Sage, and Yang Qi tore him to pieces in a fair fight!”

“Chief Lion had lofty ambitions, but died at the hands of a young squirt . What a sad way to go out . ”

“What’s sad about it? It was a fair fight, and the loser got what he deserved . Chief Lion said that the Holy Mother’s son was a bastard, which is a major insult to her . In the end, the Holy Mother didn’t even need to do anything . Her son killed the offender to right the wrong . The Lionfolk are in trouble now . ”

“This Yang Qi is incredible . The gap between the seventh and eighth steps is immense . Normally speaking, an eighth step Great Sage should be able to kill even a dozen seventh step opponents . Clearly, Yang Qi is actually above the level of an eighth step Great Sage . ”

By this point, everyone was afraid of Yang Qi . It was bad enough that he had slaughtered a whole host of young chiefs in the competition . But now, in front of the shocked gazes of a huge audience, he had destroyed the chief of the Lionfolk, who had been virtually incapable of even fighting back .

Even the Epic Saga Sages felt their bones shivering from fear .

Meanwhile, back on Mount Sumeru, Ape Heavenhelve was trembling, and didn’t know what to think .  

“August Patriarch, Yang Qi is even stronger after being blessed by the immortal worlds . And it looks like he's about to achieve another breakthrough . If he gets to the third step, or the fourth, he's probably going to try to kill me . ”

“Yes, I can sense his killing intent toward you, Ape Heavenhelve,” Mammoth Heaven said . “You’d better get to the Demi-Immortal level quickly . Perhaps this impetus will help you in your cultivation . Although, I did say that I would personally kill Yang Qi, and I will . He won’t be alive for much longer . ” 

Without another word, Mammoth Heaven vanished into space-time, gone to parts unknown .

**

After seeing how he had cast fear into the hearts of the Demonfolk, Yang Qi nodded in satisfaction . Then he discussed certain matters with Leviathan Truesoaring and the others . Considering that the Holy Mother was still in seclusion, he decided that he would go back to see how things were doing in the Rich-Lush Continent .

After bidding farewell, he tore open a wormhole and stepped inside . Before long, he was back at the Rich-Lush Continent .

The continent was cradled with power, and seemed to be growing, and was in fact merging with the Western Continent . Soon, the two continents would be one .

Swish!

After entering Sage Monarch City, he connected with the continent, and could personally sense everything that was going on . Already, the place was forming a planetary core, which was the first step in eventually becoming an independent planet .

Considering how things were going, it didn’t seem like he would have to wait for the tens of thousands of years that Ghost Emperor Yama had said it would take .

“Get out here, Ghost Emperor Yama!” he said in a loud voice .
