Chapter 208: Chapter 207: True Invincibility (Part 1)
"The Snail God is long gone!" At this moment, Qingxuan Yushan stared at Niu Fen and demanded gravely, "Who are you!" Upon learning Niu Fen’s origin, even he, a member of the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s Imperial Race, was stunned.
If the Guardian God of the Xiyan Ancient Sect was still alive, the Holy Heaven Sect would be nothing! The Snail God alone could have annihilated the entire Holy Heaven Sect! If the Snail God were still alive, the Holy Heaven Sect wouldn’t dare attack the Xiyan Ancient Sect even if they had ten times the courage. Although the Holy Heaven Sect’s Elder Ancestor was hailed as one of the Invincible Generation, he was simply not in the same league as the Snail God!
A being who could be called a True God—how terrifying, how invincible! Even their Qingxuan Ancient Country wouldn’t have dared to provoke the Xiyan Ancient Sect when the Snail God was still alive!
"Who am I?" In response to Qingxuan Yushan’s question, Niu Fen’s bull-like eyes, perched atop his feelers, crinkled as he said with a grin, "I am merely a mount under my Young Master! A nobody, not worth mentioning!"
Niu Fen’s words left everyone stunned. The Old Turtle King found it incredible and muttered, "This... this... this can’t be possible. Back then, even the Mingren Immortal Emperor didn’t take a Celestial Beetle Ancestor as a mount! Legend says the Celestial Beetle Ancestors are among the most powerful creatures in the world, possessing what could be called a True Divine Bloodline! They would never serve as a mount for anyone!"
At this point, the Old Turtle King was completely shaken. His beady green eyes widened as he stared at Li Qiye in disbelief. ’Taking a Celestial Beetle Ancestor as a mount is a miracle. To make a Celestial Beetle Ancestor willingly serve as a mount—what an incredible feat this is!’
"Hmph—" Qingxuan Yushan said coldly, "This is no longer the Snail God’s era. What great waves can a single Celestial Beetle Ancestor possibly stir up? Die!" As his voice fell, the Imperial Decree in his hand opened once again.
Niu Fen wanted to rush forward, but Li Qiye smiled, shook his head, and said, "You haven’t yet mastered the Eighteen Understandings. You cannot withstand an Immortal Emperor’s will. Stand down."
Without another word, Niu Fen retreated to Li Qiye’s side.
At that very moment, the Imperial Decree actually began to burn. In the blink of an eye, it was reduced to ashes, leaving behind only the single character for "Seize"!
BOOM— In an instant, the entire character "Seize" dissolved into nothingness. All of its Emperor Essence gushed out without reservation, spewing forth an endless stream of Emperor’s Immortal Power like a Divine Spring. In that instant, a shadow appeared—a figure who looked down upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, an existence invincible through all of antiquity.
"An Immortal Emperor’s will—" At this moment, the entire Celestial Ancient City was shaken. It was as if an Immortal Emperor themselves was standing above the city, looking down upon all living beings in the world.
In an instant, countless Cultivators in Celestial Ancient City prostrated themselves on the ground. An Immortal Emperor’s will was not something they could resist!
Faced with this shadow, with this will of an Immortal Emperor, even Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao’s expressions changed. As a Supreme Elder, Chi Yun’s legs were trembling so hard they felt like jelly, and he almost collapsed to his knees.
BOOM— At this moment, the shadow reached out with a hand. In that instant, heaven and earth were held within the grasp of this great hand. Before it, even True Ancient Saints were more insignificant than ants, utterly negligible.
"Scram—" Facing the grasping hand, Li Qiye merely lifted an eyelid and spoke coldly.
NEIGH— The Copper Horses let out a long cry. A roaring sound echoed as the four Copper Horses pulled the War Chariot into the air, their hooves viciously stomping towards the shadow’s face!
This scene stunned everyone. This was the will of an Immortal Emperor! Even if the Immortal Emperor was no longer in the world, their will was irresistible. Yet today, someone was driving horses to stomp on the face of an Immortal Emperor’s will. This was tantamount to showing no respect for the Immortal Emperor whatsoever!
BANG— The shadow’s great hand blocked the stomping hooves. It then closed its grip, instantly capturing Li Qiye along with the Four-Battle Copper Vehicle. The Emperor’s Immortal Power cascaded down like a Celestial Waterfall, intending to refine Li Qiye.
"You overconfident fool, you’re courting death!" Seeing Li Qiye captured within the great hand, Qingxuan Yushan sneered.
"Scram—" Li Qiye didn’t even bother to lift his eyelids. He said, "Qingxuan, if you were still alive, that might be a different story. But a mere wisp of your will dares to block my carriage?"
As his voice fell, ROAR— A tiger’s roar resounded, and a White Tiger leaped out!
The Four-Battle Copper Vehicle. The Copper War Chariot had a coiling dragon carved on its right, a Divine Phoenix on its left, a Qilin on its front, and a White Tiger on its back. At this moment, the White Tiger chiseled onto the rear of the Copper Vehicle suddenly leaped out, its claws tearing at the sky as it ripped towards the grasping hand.
SHREEE— A tearing sound echoed throughout heaven and earth. An unbelievable scene unfolded: the White Tiger leaped into the air and tore apart everything in its path. Whether it was the Celestial Vault or the will of an Immortal Emperor, nothing could stop the slash of the White Tiger’s claws!
Spacetime rippled. The Immortal Emperor’s will vanished, and the White Tiger disappeared as well. Only Li Qiye remained, standing atop the Four-Battle Copper Vehicle, perched high in the sky!
At this moment, everyone had an illusion: as the Copper Vehicle moved, it was as if the Lord of the Nine Heavens was on an inspection tour. The gods would retreat, and Immortal Emperors would come from afar to greet him. Now, the Copper Vehicle stood upon the Celestial Vault, high and supreme.
"A mere wisp of the Qingxuan Immortal Emperor’s will thought it could block my carriage?" Standing atop the Four-Battle Copper Vehicle, Li Qiye was calm and unhurried. He looked at Qingxuan Yushan with casual indifference and said, "Go on, bring out your ancestor’s Immortal Emperor’s Weapon!"
His words sounded incomparably arrogant and overbearingly domineering, but everyone was simply dumbstruck. The will of an Immortal Emperor—who could possibly resist it? Yet today, it had been torn apart by a White Tiger. This was simply too incredible!
How could the people of the world know that this Four-Battle Copper Vehicle was a supreme object? It had once followed Li Qiye to conquer the Nine Heavens and crusade against the Underworld, battling gods and slaying Divine Emperors. Even when Immortal Emperors were alive, they would personally come out to welcome the Four-Battle Copper Vehicle.
Both the Can Long Immortal Emperor and the Blood Seal Immortal Emperor had once personally welcomed the Four-Battle Copper Vehicle! Although the Qingxuan Immortal Emperor was invincible, a mere wisp of his will left in the world, a single Imperial Decree, was not enough to block Li Qiye’s supreme carriage!
"The legend is true!" At this moment, even Qingxuan Yushan’s expression changed drastically. He stumbled back several steps. THUD, THUD, THUD. The Four-Battle Copper Vehicle had once fallen into the hands of their Qingxuan Ancient Country! Back when their Qingxuan Ancient Country obtained this Copper Vehicle, there was a legend that it could rival an Immortal Emperor’s Treasure! There were even rumors that its profound mysteries were on par with an Immortal Emperor True Artifact!
The Elders of the Qingxuan Ancient Country had all studied this Copper Vehicle, but they could never unravel its mysteries. In the end, it was bestowed upon Qingxuan Yushan! ’If the Elders of the Qingxuan Ancient Country knew what was happening now,’ he thought, ’they would probably be regretting it so much they’d turn green. This was equivalent to handing over an Immortal Emperor’s Treasure to someone else on a silver platter. And this had once been the Supreme Treasure of the Xiyan Ancient Sect!’
"The Qingxuan Ancient Country? So what!" At this moment, Li Qiye glanced at Qingxuan Yushan and said with casual indifference.
"Kill—" Qingxuan Yushan was decisive in his attack. With a sharp cry, he struck, unleashing a Divine Saber that streaked out like a bolt of silk, instantly slashing towards Li Qiye’s head. He intended to take Li Qiye by surprise, kill him in an instant, and reclaim the Four-Battle Copper Vehicle.
DONG— A Copper Horse leaped into the air, its hoof stomping down. The Divine Saber was kicked away on the spot. Qingxuan Yushan, who had launched the sneak attack, had no time to dodge before a copper hoof viciously slammed into his chest. He violently spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying.
"You’re courting death! How dare you ambush my Young Master!" Niu Fen roared furiously. The giant snail shot forward like a Flying Wheel.
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM— The injured Qingxuan Yushan tried to block Niu Fen’s massive snail form, but he couldn’t stop it at all. He was crushed by Niu Fen again and again. In the end, he was sent flying, spewing blood, as the sound of breaking bones rang out. No one knew how many bones had been shattered by the giant snail.
Niu Fen reached out with a large hand, grabbed the severely injured and helpless Qingxuan Yushan, and instantly retreated to Li Qiye’s side.
Everything had changed too quickly. Everyone was dumbfounded. Someone as powerful as Qingxuan Yushan had become a prisoner in the blink of an eye. This was just too ridiculously strong.
"Young Master, what should we do with him?" Niu Fen asked Li Qiye, holding Qingxuan Yushan, who had tried to assassinate Li Qiren.
"Kill him—" Li Qiye didn’t even bother to spare Qingxuan Yushan a glance. In his eyes, Qingxuan Yushan was no different from a dead man.
"How dare you—" At the entrance, the many Heroic Heroes and Princes of the Qingxuan Ancient Country were both shocked and furious. With Qingxuan Yushan in Niu Fen’s hands, they were hesitant to act for fear of harming the hostage. They wanted to charge forward, but they didn’t dare.
"Why wouldn’t I dare? He’s not an Immortal Emperor. If I kill him, I kill him," Li Qiye said with a smile.
BOOM— In that instant, endless Divine Light erupted from within the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s residence. Deep within the Ancient Halls and Jade Universes, a brilliant Divine Light illuminated the entire Qingxuan Ancient Country’s Grotto Heaven. Instantly, an overwhelming aura permeated all of Celestial Ancient City. At that moment, everyone’s heart skipped a beat. They all realized that a terrifying figure had awakened.
Within the Divine Light, an Ancient Coffin floated inside the Qingxuan Ancient Country Grotto Heaven. Bathed in the boundless Divine Light, all the Ancient Divine Halls became transparent, revealing an Ancient Coffin held aloft within the light!
"Elder Ancestor, save me—" Upon seeing the Ancient Coffin, Qingxuan Yushan was instantly overjoyed.
Seeing such an Ancient Coffin, everyone’s heart pounded in fear. Chi Yun and the others turned even paler. At this moment, they realized that a terrifying existence was entombed within that coffin!
"This... this is likely one of the Nine Ancestors of the Qingxuan Ancient Country!" At this moment, the various Emperors and Sect Leaders in Celestial Ancient City couldn’t help but feel their hearts pound in terror as they saw the Ancient Coffin. The legendary Nine Ancestors of the Qingxuan Ancient Country were absolutely terrifying existences!
"Release him, return the Four-Battle Copper Vehicle, and commit suicide at the entrance. This one might spare your Xiyan Ancient Sect!" A wizened voice echoed from within the Ancient Coffin. Although the voice was ancient, the authority in its words tolerated no rebuttal!
At this moment, the many great figures present didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly. Even if the person in the Ancient Coffin was on the verge of death, they were still terrifying. An existence like this could destroy heaven and earth with a single hand!
"Just a dying Old Ghost." Li Qiye only gave the Ancient Coffin a leisurely glance and said, "Kill Qingxuan Yushan. I’d like to see if an Old Ghost can really crawl out of his coffin!"
"Alrighty—" Niu Fen said excitedly. With a squeeze of his great hand, a bloodcurdling scream of "AH—" rang out. Many people could hear the sound of Qingxuan Yushan’s bones shattering.
