Sage Monarch - Chapter 455

Chapter 455: 455

The enormous hand completely ignored the power and strength of space, crushing it like tofu or mud, yet it didn’t snag Yang Qi and Sword Seventeen . After the initial reaction of rage, cracking sounds could be heard as the hand shrank down into a humanoid shape . From its aura alone, it was obvious that it wasn’t human .  

It appeared to be an extremely attractive woman, even seductive, but with a cold, vicious aura . She had long, graceful eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, with bright-red lips and pure white teeth . A bright red sauvastika could be seen on her forehead, pulsing with a power that seemed capable of entrancing the soul of anyone who looked at it .

“I have to get that primeval godworm! Even if I have to track it to the ends of the earth, it's mine!”

The seductive demon-devil took a step forward and vanished into thin air as she attempted to track Yang Qi and Sword Seventeen .

Surprisingly, she was actually a clone made from vital energy . That said, she was still immensely powerful, being an eighth order Universal Demi-Immortal . The eighth order specialized in observing the rotations of the universe, and, as such, could destroy cosmoses, perform dramatic teleportations, and were invincible even to the sun and moon .

“That was some powerful demon-devil just now,” Sword Seventeen said .

The God Legion Paradise was now the size of a fist, and it shot along like a speeding bullet . Back in the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, Yang Qi had learned to use the power of the godworm and its wormholes to traverse space-time labyrinths . The spatial laws of the mortal world were like children's toys, compared to those in the monarch chart .

Therefore, there was little need to even mention the ease with which he could travel in the mortal world .

Space-time tempests and distorted energy fields were no problem, nor were the even rarer phenomena, such as interstellar tempests, primeval hurricanes, yin-yang magnetic fields, and the like .

Demi-Immortals in the third, fourth, and fifth orders would fear the naturally occurring black holes, white holes, and the rarer oblivion holes . There were also ancient pockets of baleful energy or killing intent that could grab Demi-Immortals and kill them . That was why most Demi-Immortals would never dare to travel directly between planetary systems . Of course, Great Sages were even more at risk and could be killed without a moment’s notice .

But Yang Qi didn’t even need to pay attention to such things .  

“It seems we were spotted by the Devil Sauvastika Assembly,” Yang Qi said, “and now we’re being followed . Luckily, you didn’t start your tribulation, otherwise we would have been dead . ”

Yang Qi was keeping an eye on what was happening behind them and had noticed how space seemed to be collapsing, as if from the passage of a powerful expert . The Gyroscope planetary system was really turning out to be dangerous .

“I wonder who it is,” Sword Seventeen said, his eyes flickering with a ferocious gleam . “If it’s a clone, maybe we can team up and take him out, whoever he is . Absorb his power . ”

“That’s too risky,” Yang Qi replied . “It would definitely take a Universal Demi-Immortal to lock on to us so quickly after we arrived . Even if it’s only a clone, we might not be able to get the upper hand . Right now, a fight between us and a seventh order Revered Demi-Immortal would end in a draw . We definitely need to get out of the Gyroscope planetary system before we decide what to do next . Come on, let’s speed up . Time to call on my primal-chaos elder-snake!”

He exhaled some vital energy that transformed into twenty-eight imperial snakecharms, which then took the shape of a primal-chaos elder-snake . With that additional power, the God Legion Paradise accelerated to a speed multiple times greater than before .

As they passed along, the imperial snakecharms devoured the space in front of and around them, leaving an empty gulch in their wake .

As the chase went on, Yang Qi focused on the nine mammoth tusks, continuing to absorb their true energy, and the godmammoth blood locked in the complex lineaments on their surface . Considering these tusks came from ancient demon-immortals, it was obvious that they surpassed the quality of anything from August Patriarch Mammoth Heaven or any of his ilk, such as Mammoth Manyvoids . If Yang Qi could fully absorb all of the quintessence-blood, it would lead to untold advancement with his cultivation .

He inhaled deeply, and one of the tusks floated over to him and broke out into sagefire . Strands of quintessence energy began flowing off of the surface of the tusk and mixing into Yang Qi’s true energy . Before long, his true energy was pulsing with explosive, deadly power .

WHIZZZ!

As streams of power coursed through him, the particles within him began trembling, then finally exploded into growth and transformation .

Before, he had reached a limit of one hundred million dracomammoths . But with the demon-immortal godpower of these mammoth tusks, more particles were waking up .

One million . Two million . Three million… . Ten million . Fifty million… .

One hundred million!

It took about an hour for Yang Qi to absorb most of the godpower from the mammoth tusk and awaken even more megamammoth power within him . He was now at the level of two hundred million!

Unfortunately, the new batch of one hundred million contained only megamammoths . There were no dracomammoths; they would require time and the nutrients of the Blood of the One God .

The demon-immortal godpower from the tusks was extremely pure, meaning that fully absorbing it was very difficult .

“Nine Tusks of Truth; Hellfire Crucible; Eternal Heavenly Aria; Fist of the Halls of Heaven; Hand of the One God… . ” Yang Qi used all sorts of methods to draw on the tusk and send its power into his Hellfire Crucible . Thanks to the influx, he became almost like a storage tank for true energy, to the point where it seemed unlikely that he would ever run out of it in a fight .

Unfortunately, it would still take some more time to fully break down the tusks and absorb their vital energy . In fact, he would likely have to wait until he was a Demi-Immortal . After all, he was still just a measly second step Great Sage .

Soon, the Dark True Void was just ahead . However, that was when a voice rang out .

“Sauvastika Devil Overhead; Devil Shakes the Nine Provinces!”

All of a sudden a host of monsters descended from above, as well as an enormous sauvastika character powered by a devil embryo . Leading them was a bewitchingly charming woman .

She was the one who had been chasing Yang Qi, and at the moment it wasn't certain who exactly she represented . However, the blood-red sauvastika on her forehead seemed to tug at the souls and quintessence energy of both Yang Qi and Sword Seventeen .

“Where might the two of you be running off to?” she asked . “I'm the third-ranking assembly chief of the Devil Sauvastika Assembly . Call me Dreamy Smoke . Where are you from? I can sense the power of primeval godworms on you . Why don’t you come to our headquarters for a chat?”

‘A monstress? Dreamy Smoke?’ Yang Qi could immediately tell that this woman was incomparably powerful, all the way down to her substructure . She was definitely the type of person who was not to be trifled with .

As for Sword Seventeen, he shivered and said, “Dreamy Smoke? You mean Queen Dream-Devil?”

“Oh? You’ve heard of me, boy?” She suddenly seemed to be very interested in Sword Seventeen .

Lowering his voice to keep the conversation private, Sword Seventeen explained, “She’s nobody to take lightly, Junior Brother . Even in ancient times, her name was feared in many important planetary systems . She started out as a dream-devil from the Hell of Nightmares . During her path of cultivation, she fused with an immortal devil and acquired a human body . It’s impossible to say how many enemies have fallen to her . The truth is that it’s extremely unlucky on our part to have run into her . ”

Then he looked at Dreamy Smoke, raised his voice, and said, “Senior, you’re a very famous person, so of course I've heard of you . You’re the primeval Queen Dream-Devil, with the most noble of blood . Surely you won’t cause trouble for two youngsters like us . By the way, you might have heard of our Master . In fact, maybe you’re even friends with him . ”

Queen Dream-Devil frowned slightly . “Your Master? And who is he?”

“The Invincible Dugu,” Sword Seventeen said . “Ever heard of him? I'm his seventeenth disciple, and this is his eighteenth . We just got out of the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, and were called by Master to check in and give our report . Senior, I really hope you won’t cause any delays for us . We’re just following orders, after all . ”

“The Invincible Dugu?” she replied, visibly shocked . “You’re his disciples?”

“Indeed we are . ” Sword Seventeen waved his hand, causing a bit of true energy to flow out that slowly took the shape of an Invincible Heart . “This is my Master’s godly-class energy art, the Prodigious Proto-Epoch, Invincible War-Steppe… . ” 

As of this moment, Queen Dream-Devil had no doubts in her mind at all . The Invincible Dugu wasn’t just famous in the Titan Emperor Collegium . He was known in many planetary systems . All of the top figures knew that killing one of his disciples would arouse his wrath and could lead to entire clans being wiped out of existence .

Despite that, Queen Dream-Devil couldn’t get over the fact that these two young men had godworm auras on them… .
