Sage Monarch - Chapter 851

Chapter 851: Location of Godhood

A fiery god soul had been assimilated, and a perished god finally disappeared from existence .

Truth be told, Yang Qi had only taken advantage of fifty percent of the quintessence energy, leaving forty percent to give to family and friends . With such incredible energy, some of them would likely be able to reach the Grand Emperor level .

That was especially true of Empress Jadefall, who had yet to fully awaken the porcelain godspore within her and release the ultimate powers of a Reincarnated One . Who knew how strong she would be as a Grand Emperor?

Forty percent of the quintessence energy of a perished god would put the Dao Defense League in a much better position .

BAM!

Tribulation struck Yang Qi, and a halo appeared around his head, filled with the boundless power of Valor . It was an expression of the rage of the god world, and it poured down into Yang Qi like liquid .

As the tribulation coursed through every inch of his flesh and blood, it felt like a wonderful massage . The many types of energy that filled him swirled into a huge vortex, especially the types from the seventy-two monarchs . Thanks to the current tribulation, they were advancing to a higher level .

King Heaven-Devourer . King Mourn-Parting . King Wilds-Horn . King Fierce-Savage . King Life-Killer . King Hell-Freezer . King Death-Stillness . King Lone-Fall . King Eon-Void . King Ultimate-Beginning . King Pāla-Warden . And many more .

Before, he had assumed he would have to wait until he reached the god world before making any significant progress with them . He had doubted he could master them even on the Ancient Road to the Gods . But thanks to the tribulation he was facing, and the power of the god world that was pouring into him, he was now able to give those seventy-two energy arts a solid foundation .

Suddenly, a host of magical treasures popped into being behind Yang Qi, including King Life-Killer’s swords, King Mourn-Parting’s palace buildings, King Wilds-Horn’s armor, and others . Normally, most of those items were in the hands of the seventy-one patriarchs, but Yang Qi could summon them at will if necessary .

Unfortunately, other than King Heaven-Devourer’s talismans, none of the magical treasures were complete, otherwise they would have pushed the energy arts of the seventy-two monarchs to a much higher level .

RUMBLE!

Seventy-two vortexes appeared behind Yang Qi . It almost felt like the wills of the original seventy-two monarchs were present and ready to fight the will of the Sovereign Lord . Even the God Legion Seal in his forehead was creaking under the pressure .

According to the stories, the original seventy-two brethren were so strong as a group that no one in the god world could stand up to them . Other than the Sovereign Lord, all others were helpless against them . Even Paramount Gods would die at their hands . In the end, the Sovereign Lord crushed them, only to vanish himself .

In other words, the combined godly-class energy arts of those seventy-two monarchs were definitely enough to counter the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth .

‘So strong!’ Yang Qi thought . He threw a punch, and the wills of the seventy-two monarchs created a tempest in the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, a level of might that Yang Qi could tell was on par with the Hand of the One God .

Considering he only had one-third of the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth, it was obviously not on the same level as the combined might of those seventy-two brethren . All of a sudden, Yang Qi realized that combining all of those energy arts actually led to an even more incredible energy art .

‘Combine left and right!’ Yang Qi unleashed the Hand of the One God with his left hand and the Seventy-Two Monarchs Energy Art with the other . It tore through the space in the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, causing the chart to tremble . Then, with no warning whatsoever, Yang Qi pushed the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart to a higher state!

As it turned out, the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart was similar to the mortal world, immortal world, and god world . It was comprised of multiple states! Every ten thousand years, the chart would open and people from the mortal world would enter it to further their cultivation . That was the first state .

When immortals entered it, that was the second state .

And when Godmyths entered it, that was the third state, where Yang Qi currently was .

Thanks to his increase in energy arts, Yang Qi could now see that the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart had many, many states . And there were still states above that he couldn’t reach until his cultivation base was higher .

The current state had a different type of power, and was filled with the pure energy of monarchs . Absorbing that energy would advance the energy arts of the seventy-two brethren to an even more ferocious and mighty level .

RUMBLE!

Yang Qi retracted his fists, and the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart went still and quiet again . He was now at the level of a hundred Grand Emperors, and having finished with the tribulation, was fully on the first stair of the Deathless Heavenly Stairway, the Stair of Valor .

Fear flooded Holy Daughter Joyflower’s face as she realized how strong he was . With the combination of the Seventy-Two Monarchs Energy Art and the Hand of the One God, he was incredibly mighty, despite having a relatively low cultivation base .

If he was this powerful while he was this low on the Deathless Heavenly Stairway, it meant that as he climbed even higher, he would surpass her to an even greater extent . For all intents and purposes, there was no level after Grand Emperor . One had to rely on one's luck and wits to improve their power and unlock their potential .

After all, becoming a god was essentially impossible . For Yang Qi to be so strong at such a low level filled Holy Daughter Joyflower with quite a bit of envy .

[Beep-beep-beep . Beep-beep-beep . Tribulation passed . You are now on the first stair of the Deathless Heavenly Stairway . Power index one hundred and three!] 

As Yang Qi reined in his energy arts, cracking sounds echoed out within him like thunderbolts . Shockingly, his power index had just risen by over twenty .

Yang Qi’s cultivation base had replaced hunting rifles with cannons, and he had transformed on a most fundamental level . Now he wouldn’t need to be afraid of even the young chaplain of the Ancestral Wilds Basilica; his power index was about fifty higher than Yang Qi’s, but that was within the range of what he could fight .

“Alright, now we can leave,” he said . He put aside the matters of the tribulation, power transformations, Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, and the Seventy-Two Monarchs Energy Art, clearing his mind and focusing on matters at hand .

Waving his hand, he opened a passage and leapt through it with Holy Daughter Joyflower . At the same time, he slapped a sealing mark onto her .

“You!” she said, looking over in anger . However, after circulating her true energy she realized that the sealing mark wasn’t restricting her in any way . “What's that for?”

“It's for your own good,” he replied coolly . “It’s my Devil-God Seal . That young chaplain obviously has a lock on your energy, which is why he can always track you down . But with that seal in place, you’ll be invisible to him . And by extension, we can ambush him . Besides, having your aura sealed will also provide you some protection against whatever ancient entities lurk in the Great Necropolis . ”

“Many thanks!” she said .

“There’s no need for thanks . Now, tell me about these places where you say godhood exists . We can go seize some right away . The Great Necropolis is a huge maze; without the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, I would never have been able to find my way out . By the way, do you know where we are?” 

Looking around, she realized that they had emerged into a different location within the Great Necropolis . Apparently, the spatial nexuses within the necropolis actually shifted location .

Things were changing constantly in the Great Necropolis, although the people inside wouldn’t be able to tell that . It was much the same as how, in the mortal world, people living on a planet would never be able to sense the planet rotating beneath their feet .

It was something quite marvelous, and Yang Qi couldn’t help but be surprised . Thanks to his current cultivation base, he was now able to sense the orbits of suns and moons, and other profound movements of the universe . And because of how he was now connected to the countless parallel universes, he could sense the movements of the Great Necropolis .

It would be like someone in the mortal world suddenly being able to sense the rotation of the planet upon which they stood . He was also able to sense how huge the Great Necropolis was, and it made him feel incredibly tiny . He didn’t like the feeling .  

Shaking his head to try to clear the unwanted sensation, he looked over at Holy Daughter Joyflower .

Looking both awkward and a bit panicky, she said, “I actually have no idea where we are . As long as I stay in the Great Necropolis, I move along with it and can keep a sense of direction . But because we left for a period of time, I'm completely turned around . ”

“Damn,” Yang Qi said . He could tell from the look in her eye that she was telling the truth . They were now on a completely different pathway than before . Instead of the ground being pitch black, it was yellowish, almost as if it were made from gold .
