Sage Monarch - Chapter 423

Chapter 423: 423

This godworm was clearly a larva .  

It had complex lineaments covering it, but its god motes had not fully formed . That indicated that it was still very young, yet had immense potential .  

The instant it spat out its mouthful of godpower, Yang Qi was surrounded by a powerful seal . Everything he had been able to see before vanished and was replaced by an immense labyrinth of wormholes, almost like a prison with walls of impenetrable iron .

Even a Demi-Immortal would end up trapped in a place like this and would never be able to get out . That was how strong primeval godworms were, which was no surprise considering they were the darlings of the gods .

They were born with the power of Demi-Immortals and could dominate space the way a dragon could play with water . Other godlings, and even immortals, couldn’t come close to their ability to control aspects of space . After all, godworms were born directly out of the void and could eat space to make wormholes .

However, even though this spatial prison was the type that Demi-Immortals couldn't deal with, Yang Qi was different .

After everything he had experienced recently in the Sage Monarch Continent, there was no way that a few wormholes could cause a problem for him .

Smack!

He burst into motion, bashing through the wormhole labyrinth and shredding the godly laws of space that existed in front of him . With the burning sagelight cast by the Lord's Eye, he locked down onto the godworm itself in order to make sure that it couldn’t escape .

Obviously, considering that godworms were the original creators of wormholes, it was little wonder that they were nearly impossible to capture .

As soon as the godworm realized what was happening, it looked up and its host of eyes locked onto Yang Qi . Godly laws of space erupted from the eyes, creating an image that resembled countless planes and worlds, another seal to lock Yang Qi in place .

However, Yang Qi simply flapped his Angel Wings, becoming a blur that closed in on the godworm .

AAOOWWW! 

AAAAOOOWWWW!

The worm howled as Yang Qi extended his palm and struck it, causing the thing to shake violently . Instantly, the forming god motes on it faded .

“Creation!” Yang Qi said, unleashing a move from the Hand of the One God . Blinding light erupted, causing the space around the godworm to twist and distort . The cosmos inverted and yin and yang transformed on a substructural level .

The godworm could sense Yang Qi’s immense power, but it was powerless to resist . Therefore, it began to shrink, growing smaller and smaller until it was the size of an earthworm . Finally, it just vanished .

‘This godworm is very crafty . If I hadn’t absorbed the power of a Prime Demi-Immortal through the Sage Monarch Continent, then I probably would have been sealed by it . ’ Flapping his Angel Wings, he shot over to the spot where the godworm had disappeared . As he approached, he saw the trail it left as it built and destroyed wormholes at random, making it impossible to lay hands on .

It obviously had perfect innate control of space, and although it was only a larva it could travel anywhere and hide perfectly within the folds of space .

Swish!

Yang Qi followed the trail through the Dark True Void, a trail that most people would never be able to see . Thankfully, he had made immense progress recently, and had his Angel Wings .

“Nature!” he suddenly said . Having caught up with the godworm, he unleashed the third move from the Hand of the One God, causing the unfathomable power of nature to crush down onto the creature .

Daoist images formed from magical law appeared, depicting burning hells, heavenly palaces, towering mountains, raging rivers, the cycles of the sun and moon, and more . When Nature appeared, all sorts of natural phenomenon would result . After all, the Sovereign Lord had created the universe .

Suddenly, the godworm let out a piercing scream and picked up so much speed that it became almost like a single streak of light piercing through the darkness .

“Nice move!” Yang Qi said, his eyes flashing . He had to admire this worm . Unfortunately, letting it go wasn't an option . He spat out a drop of the Blood of the One God, which ignited into burning flames that pulsed with undying energy .

“Hand of the One God, Fourth Stance: Undying!”

RUMBLE!

Burning flames erupted from his palm, which surrounded the wriggling, screaming godworm and dragged it back toward him . A moment later, it plopped onto his palm .

“Be sealed!” He quickly used the Devil-God Seal, causing numerous magical symbols to stream out and cover the worm .

The worm didn’t cease its struggles, and each twitch caused immense shockwaves to spread out—the type that could shake mountains and even planets . In fact, it was hard for Yang Qi to keep his energy and blood in check .

“I am the Sovereign Lord, origin of the world, and of the legion of gods! I am the paramount dao, invincible in all respects . ” He quickly drew on the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth to send streams of dazzling sagelight into the godworm, which finally caused it to settle down .

“Not bad . Not bad at all . I represent the legion of gods, and you're a godworm . Your kind were created by the legion of gods, and specialize in eating space and creating wormholes . I’ll raise you with Blood of the One God, and when you're an adult you can become a part of me… . ”

After speaking these words, using Godtongue, into the mind of the godworm, it went still and silent .

With that, he placed a nascent divinity sealing mark onto the godworm, branding it to himself . A moment later, a bubble of immortal energy spread out into the Dark True Void, surrounding both him and the worm . Now that the godworm had submitted to Yang Qi, it was unleashing its power to distort the space around them . Viewed with the naked eye, it would almost seem like space was dough that it could knead at will .

WHIZZ!

Yang Qi waved his hand, and a burst of energy shot into his God Legion Paradise . Thick chains appeared within the domain, which the godworm burrowed into to make a home .

The God Legion Paradise trembled, then began thrumming with the aura of a Demi-Immortal . At the same time, the legacy memories contained within the very genes of the primeval godworm poured into Yang Qi’s mind with mountain-like force .

Common devillings had legacies in their genes, thus they naturally understood certain things like equipment forging, cultivation, and how to form demon cores . Considering that, how much more would a godling like a godworm benefit from such memories? Its genes contained enlightenment regarding how the legion of gods dealt with space and magical laws .

As this information poured into Yang Qi, an ancient aura filled the God Legion Paradise and his soul reached a peak level of enlightenment regarding the Epic Saga Step .

At the same time, the powers of the God Legion Paradise’s Superlative Defense increased, thanks to the godly laws of space . As of this moment, it would be able to stand fast against the assault of even a Lesser Demi-Immortal .

Far off in the Sage Monarch Continent, his immortal clone underwent another tribulation, a deluge of lightning, earth, water, fire, and wind . In the end, he passed it and reached the ninth step of the Great Sage level . Then he began thrumming with immortal energy . All it would take would be one more step to reach the Demi-Immortal level!

Yang Qi’s true self could sense what had occurred and he nodded in approval . Before long, he would have the Demi-Immortal enlightenment, and then he could hopefully use the primeval godworm to enter the Hell of Mahānata .

When that happened, it would cause a huge stir . Whether in the Hanging Mountain or in the Titan Emperor Collegium, he would become an extremely important person .

Staring out into the darkness, he was fairly certain that he could see the golden glow of the Hell of Mahānata’s defenses . However, he knew he couldn’t break through them yet . He needed to grow his godworm and use it to eat through the hell’s greyspace .

‘It can’t be a coincidence that a primeval godworm appeared here . Could it be because of the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart?’ After all, primeval godworms were supposed to be extinct, and the fact that he had found a newborn out in the middle of the Dark True Void seemed completely beyond expectation .
