Sage Monarch - Chapter 798

Chapter 798: 798

When Yang Qi showed up with an Army of Radiance and Light made up of a million Chaos God angels, it caused a huge stir . Many of the old-timers were suddenly struck with the sensation that he was a profound and enigmatic type of individual who definitely qualified to vie with the league-lord .

Many people wanted to join him, thus it was in the shortest of moments that he suddenly grew vastly more powerful . And everyone knew that his power and influence would only continue growing .

Even some of the god-generals and dharmarajas began currying favor with him . They had armies, but they didn’t have access to the blessings of primeval god skills, which meant that future battles would definitely involve heavy casualties for them . Obviously, getting on Yang Qi’s good side would be a major benefit .

The old-timers were no fools, and they knew that the war with the future world would only get more and more bitter as time passed . Rumors had begun spreading that generalissimos from the future were coming—people on the same level as Grand Emperor Ragefire Broilheaven . And their arrival would be preceded by numerous generals and marshals .

What that meant was that a tempest of carnage and fighting was coming, a situation in which everyone would be in great danger .

That said, if they could get the support of Yang Qi’s primeval god skills, they would have a huge advantage in the fighting and could possibly even crush the enemy . Considering the circumstances, it was only natural that people wanted to side with Yang Qi .

Yang Qi was building his power structure, and when the time came he hoped to simply force Grand Emperor Ragefire Broilheaven to abdicate, perhaps killing him if necessary .

And he was convinced that that time would come soon .

For now, he needed to focus on getting as strong as he could, as quickly as possible . He had two options in that regard . The first was to go to the Eight Tribes Heaven and try taking the Engine of the One God . The downside to that option was that it would involve the mysteries of the passageway into primeval times . Furthermore, the Eight Tribes Heaven had as many experts as the sky has clouds . It was also likely that primeval experts were present there . If things went bad, it could easily turn into a major disaster that might affect the Dao Defense League as a whole . If they had to deal with armies from both the past and the present, it could lead to destruction many times greater than anything up to this point .

Yang Qi definitely didn’t want that .

Therefore, the second option seemed the best . He would track down Young Master Leaf and force him to hand over the remaining two pieces of the Aeonic God Psalter . With the whole map, he would have a shot at fusing fully with the core of the Heaven Beyond Heaven . The power and treasures that would be available to him when that happened would make him vastly stronger .

In fact, he hoped it would help him reach the Measureless God level .

At that point, he would be able to summon fiend-devils who had stepped onto the Deathless Heavenly Stairway . When he turned such Infernalfolk into angels, they would easily be able to compare to the god-generals and dharmarajas .

‘So, Young Master Leaf . Leaf Dao-Denier . I have no other option than to force your hand . I want those map pieces . We’re already enemies, and our grudge will get even worse after this . You're always plotting against me, so surely you’re hoping to take advantage of my situation with Grand Emperor Ragefire Broilheaven to strike a deadly blow against me . But did you really think I would allow something like that?’

Swish!

He vanished into thin air, appearing shortly thereafter in the Tusita Heaven .

Thanks to the faith provided by the six junior siblings of the mysterious Eldest Brother Secundus, his immortal-slaying clone had already stepped onto the Stair of Valor and would likely continue making progress . Now that Yang Qi had seven of King Immortal-Slayer's legacy medallions, he was able to use the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart to keep an even closer eye on the clone’s progress . He could see his cultivation base rising, pushing him to levels of indescribable power .

Already, the clone was so strong that he would shock many old-timers if they knew his true level of power .

As for Yang Qi’s true self, he could sense that Young Master Leaf was back in the Tusita Heaven . After all, that was definitely the safest place for him, considering he was so closely connected to its essence .

Leaf Dao-Denier’s cultivation base was steadily continuing to rise, and although he couldn’t compare to Yang Qi, he was definitely able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the dharmarajas . His formal title was True Raja Dao-Denier, making him famous within the Dao Defense League and a nightmarish figure to the warriors of the future world .

However, the time had come for Yang Qi to put some pressure on this True Raja Dao-Denier .

RUMBLE!

Yang Qi made no effort to mask his presence . He headed directly toward the Sea of Despair in the middle of the Tusita Heaven, where he opened his Lord's Eye to identify a pagoda in the middle of it, surrounded by violet mists . It was a luxurious structure surrounded by dao trees, ancient plants, godlings, and the like . There were numerous doorways leading into it, all of them pulsing with an ancient aura that made it obvious that this was the very center of the Tusita Heaven . It was none other than the Tower of Tusita, which the ancient legion of gods had left behind to control the vital energy of the Tusita Heaven . Every year, countless ambitious young ones would come here in the hopes of becoming successors, only to die in the process .

Only Leaf Dao-Denier had ever had the fortune necessary to take control of the essence .

Sadly for him, the power of that essence wasn’t enough to stop Yang Qi .

Ever since Leaf Dao-Denier had taken control, the place had been so tightly locked down that not even Emperor Tusita could have entered uninvited . As of now, Leaf Dao-Denier was the true leader of the Tusita Heaven .

But even when Yang Qi was only a third division Incarnated God, he was still considered a threat by Grand Emperor Ragefire Broilheaven . And now that he was a fifth division Nirvanic God, he was even more of a rival to the grand emperor . Although he might not be as shrewd and ruthless, in terms of raw power, he was more than a match .

For now, Yang Qi was mostly worried about what would happen if the other three grand emperors joined forces . There was no way that he could fight them all at the same time .

Even worse, it seemed like the lord of the Unrestrained Heaven was going to side with Grand Emperor Ragefire Broilheaven as well .

“Lord's Eye Scan!”

A beam of godlight pierced through the violet mists and revealed Young Master Leaf, who was in the middle of a session of cultivation .  

“I have to reach a higher level of enlightenment,” he murmured to himself . “I have to reach the ninth stair as quickly as possible, then I can completely fuse with the essence of the Tusita Heaven itself and completely take charge . Then all of you are going to die! Everyone else who lives in my Tusita Heaven are parasites . I’ll definitely take back all the destiny and quintessence vitality . They’re mine!”

Swirling tempests of violent magical laws swirled around him like screaming winds .

RUMBLE!

Yang Qi simply stepped through them, right into the Tower of Tusita, until he was standing right in front of Leaf Dao-Denier .

“Y-y-y-you…” Leaf Dao-Denier blurted, shooting to his feet, his eyes flashing with terror . “How did you get in here? I have this whole place locked tight! You shouldn’t be able to get inside!”

Yang Qi chuckled . “You’re pretty naive, did you know that, Young Master Leaf? You know that I have a God Legion Seal, don’t you? What is there in heaven and earth that could possibly block my path? I'm not here to kill you, so you can just calm down . You're a dharmaraja of the Dao Defense League, and I'm the Emissary of Radiance and Light . I might outrank you, but I still want to do things by the book . ”

“That’s right! I'm True Raja Dao-Denier!” Leaf Dao-Denier’s voice suddenly turned very cold . “I admit you’re strong, Yang Qi . But even you have to follow the rules . Grand Emperor Ragefire Broilheaven is in charge, and if you do something stupid here I’ll definitely tell him . Everyone can tell that you and he are at odds, and he’ll seize any excuse he can to kill you . All it would take would be one word from me and he would wipe you out! And don’t forget that I could easily spread rumors about your God Legion Seal . If people found out, you would be public enemy number one! Any of the old-timers would go crazy to lay hands on you and kill you . ”

“I honestly couldn’t care less if word spread about my God Legion Seal,” Yang Qi replied . “Other than actual gods, nobody can possibly be a threat to me . I have seven of King Immortal-Slayer's legacy medallions . Surely you understand what that means . I can go into the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart any time I want, and nobody could ever catch me . Not even gods . I’ve already stopped the chart from opening automatically every ten thousand years . That place is like my backyard now . So do you really think that I'm afraid of Grand Emperor Ragefire Broilheaven? Just wait until my cultivation base advances a bit more and I’ll kill him too, if I have to . You might even be around to see it happen . ”

The mention of King Immortal-Slayer's legacy medallions caused Young Master Leaf’s face to twist with rage . “I was supposed to be King Immortal-Slayer’s successor, you bastard! I can’t believe you took them from me . And you turned the other seventy-one patriarchs against me, too!”

Yang Qi snorted coldly . “Cut the crap . I didn’t come here to argue about our grudges . I want the other two pieces of the Aeonic God Psalter . Hand them over . ”

“The Aeonic God Psalter!?” Leaf Dao-Denier shivered . “Forget it! I'm True Raja Dao-Denier now! How dare you talk about stealing my things . I’ll sue you in the Heaven-Dao Operation God-Temple!”

“Sue me?” Yang Qi laughed . “Let me explain more clearly . I already have all the other pieces of the Aeonic God Psalter . And I control the essence of the Heaven Beyond Heaven . I could easily kill you, take them by force, and instantly become thousands of times stronger than before . At that point, not even all four of those grand emperors working together would be a match for me . I could kill them all in a single move . Do you know what energy art I cultivate? It’s the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth! I can summon armies of fiend-devils, and every time my cultivation base gets stronger I can summon even stronger versions . Considering that, do you think I care about the power of the Dao Defense League? I control all of the hells that exist! So I’m giving you two options . One: hand over those maps, get on your knees, and give me your faith . Two: die . Think it over . My patience has limits, so if you take too long, you’ll lose your chance to pick option one . ”

“You… . ” Leaf Dao-Denier stood there for a moment, then suddenly spun and shot toward the nearest door . At the same time, countless streams of violet energy shot inside toward Yang Qi .

“Begone!” Yang Qi said, and the mist shattered . Leaf Dao-Denier dropped to the ground .
