Chapter 2217: Chapter 2218: Taiyi Falls! (Midnight Update)
"No one will surpass me; if there ever is, they will only be dead!"
"Haha..."
Tai Yi’s voice echoed throughout the battle stage, reaching all around.
Although his methods were somewhat despised, using this heavenly-level phantom to turn the tables in a fair fight, it can’t be denied that possessing such a heavenly-level phantom is indeed a part of one’s strength.
Moreover, no rule on the battle stage prohibits their use.
"Even though Ye Qiu is formidable, under the power of a heavenly realm, no matter how strong, he is but an ant."
"I also acknowledge that this guy forced Tai Yi into such a situation, indeed strong, but it can only be said that his foundation is still too weak. As the Saint Heir of Taiyi Divine Sect, Tai Yi would naturally have some life-saving techniques."
Many felt it was a pity for Ye Qiu, while others thought it was no big deal; in matters of victory or defeat, results are what truly matter.
As for how victory is achieved, the means became less significant.
With Ye Qiu’s demise, Tai Yi becomes the undisputed number one, unrivaled, and will reclaim the top position on the military merit points leaderboard.
The Saint Maiden of Turquoise Pool stood in the crowd, a hint of sadness flickering in her eyes. Deep down, she hoped Ye Qiu would win.
The Stone Demon Lord, the Wandering Monk, and several newly-ascended Supreme Saints remained silent, not ashamed of Tai Yi’s method, but wouldn’t reject removing a formidable opponent if the opportunity presents itself.
"Back on Earth, he killed the Primordial Saint Child of Taiyi Divine Sect, and now the Saint Heir Tai Yi has killed him, the cycle of heaven, retribution is invariably just." The Free Roaming Holy Son was also pleased witnessing this.
Once upon a time, he was trapped by Ye Qiu, serving as training fodder repeatedly; if not for being ransomed with Hua Star Coins, he would have continued enduring torment.
The reason for not seeking revenge or expressing hostility towards Ye Qiu was mainly the known disparity between them, but now that Ye Qiu is gone, he naturally has no fear or concern.
The Lieyan Holy Son’s emotions were similar to the Free Roaming Holy Son’s; both experienced similar fates, united in their sentiment, now witnessing Ye Qiu’s demise felt like someone enacted their vengeance for them.
The only regret they felt was that Ye Qiu’s treasures might all end up with Tai Yi, already the strongest figure, gaining Ye Qiu’s ultimate treasures would be like adding wings to a tiger; among the younger generation, no one could rival him.
Nearly everyone thought Ye Qiu met his end at the hands of the heavenly-level phantom elder.
Even Order Keeper Jia Luo and Di Feng thought the same.
Tai Yi’s laughter echoed in the air, yet suddenly it stopped, as if choked in his throat, abruptly ceasing.
A single drop of fresh blood dripped from the center of Tai Yi’s brow.
His eyes were fixed on the figure before him, unable to believe how Ye Qiu survived the attack from the heavenly-level phantom and launched a sudden fatal strike.
Everything happened too quickly.
So fast that those outside the battle stage didn’t react, not even Tai Yi understood.
"How can you... be so... strong!"
This was nearly Tai Yi’s last sentence, said with all the strength he could muster.
Facing the imminent Tai Yi, Ye Qiu calmly replied, "It’s not that I’m too strong, but you... are too weak!"
"You..."
A loud bang sounded, and Tai Yi fell backward, motionless.
Those outside the battle stage were plunged into a deathly silence, too quiet, for the scene before them was shocking.
The sudden turn of events exceeded imagination.
"The young lord won, the young lord won!"
Jin Shanshun was extremely excited, breaking the temporary silence.
The Beast God, Luo Fu, and others all smiled in succession, delighted for Ye Qiu while simultaneously wondering how Ye Qiu accomplished it.
That was the attack of a heavenly realm.
Not only was Ye Qiu not dead, but he directly counter-killed Tai Yi.
Especially in the act of killing Tai Yi, no one had time to react before Tai Yi was already dead.
Wow.
Exclamations erupted from the crowd, most were deeply shaken by the result before their eyes.
Tai Yi was publicly killed.
Such a powerful top genius died at the life-and-death battle stage.
The Stone Demon Lord and the Wandering Monk’s expressions were complex; Tai Yi’s death was a great shock to them, indicating that if they faced Ye Qiu, they’d likely meet the same fate.
How did he become so strong in such a short few months? Ye Qiu already surpassed everyone, standing at the pinnacle among the younger generation, even the ancestral land’s finest talent was killed.
Such strength and talent are truly heaven-defying.
When Tai Yi deployed the heavenly-level phantom elder as a life-saving measure, Ye Qiu indeed felt threatened and pressured, but that was all.
Wanting to kill him, relying solely on the heavenly-level phantom was insufficient; even if a celestial being personally arrived, Ye Qiu had confidence in surviving.
It wasn’t blind confidence but actual assurance.
When attacked by the heavenly-level phantom, Ye Qiu did not use the royal demon body but filled his body with energy, and as the attack landed, his Xuan Huang flesh quickly disintegrated into something like a mist, akin to returning to the original essence of Xuan Huang energy.
Thus, dispersing his body allowed him to evade the heavenly-level attack; afterward, hiding within the Tai Huang Bell, he struck Tai Yi with the most lethal sword while he was arrogantly complacent.
The Bahuang Sword pierced through Tai Yi’s head, piercing life and soul alike.
This was the complete process of what just happened.
On the opposite side of the battle stage.
The Lieyan Holy Son murmured, "I already vaguely see a massive earthquake about to sweep through the ancestral land."
The Free Roaming Holy Son understood the Lieyan Holy Son’s implication; Tai Yi died on the Star River Road, and it was at Ye Qiu’s hands, Taiyi Divine Sect would surely be furious and exhaust all means to eliminate Ye Qiu.
Moreover, besides Taiyi Divine Sect, other sects and forces would all take action due to Ye Qiu’s existence; as long as Ye Qiu returns to the ancestral land, it would be exceptionally lively.
"He’s finished; the ancestral land will not tolerate him," a loose cultivator martial artist from the ancestral land solemnly stated.
Ye Qiu didn’t bother with anyone else’s thoughts, simply doing what he wanted; regardless of what follows, whether floods or upheaval, because he dared to do it, he wouldn’t regret it.
Atop the pavilion.
Jia Luo watched as his favored talent fell, feeling a bit uneasy; in terms of talent assessment, he was thoroughly bested by Pu Zhen.
"Brother Pu Zhen, your insight is indeed incredible, my admiration," Di Feng remarked.
And Pu Zhen was focused intently, noticing Ye Qiu’s bodily transformation during the heavenly realm’s attack just now.
The flesh becoming gaseous, like flowing mist, vanishing instantly, then reappearing to slay Tai Yi.
Ye Qiu’s Xuan Huang flesh was what most astonished Pu Zhen.
