Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Sky-Breaking Monarch felt that the Heavenly Saint Bells in his hands were no longer under his control. He tried to pull the bells back but found that he was completely unable to do so. Drawn by the black-white light from the Black-White Millstone, the Heavenly Saint Bells were drawn directly into the sky.
Seeing his Saint level spiritual Dharma treasure disappear from view, the Sky-Breaking Monarch’s face contorted with fury.
“Give my Heavenly Saint Bells back!” he roared.
“Give it back?” Qingfeng Li replied mockingly. “Who are you to order me around? Watch, not only am I going to destroy your spiritual Dharma treasure, but I’m also going to kill you!”
Under the command of Qingfeng Li, the light from the Black-White Millstone went to work devouring the Heavenly Saint Bells, transforming it into its own spiritual energy.
The Heavenly Saint Bells were a very powerful set of spiritual Dharma treasures. In all of the Crimson Fire Continent, there was no more than three Dharma treasure of this caliber. It was a weapon of great renown and with an impressive history.
However, before an ultimate treasure of the Chaos like the Black-White Millstone, it was completely powerless. In just five minutes, the bells have been transformed into wisps of spiritual energy, becoming a meal for the millstone.
The Sky-Breaking Monarch felt the spiritual connection between him and the Heavenly Saint Bells sever. He knew that his spiritual Dharma treasure had completely ceased to exist.
The flames of fury within him rushed to his heart, causing internal injuries, and making him spit out a mouthful of blood.
The Sky-Breaking Monarch glared at Qingfeng Li, furious. “You, damned bastard,” he hissed. “Not only have you killed my son, but you’ve also destroyed my Saint level spiritual Dharma treasure as well. I swear I’m going to kill you today!”
Qingfeng Li stared back at him with disdain. “You’ve already said the same thing quite a few times,” he said. “But here I am, still alive and kicking. Come on and use your strongest attack, or you won’t get another chance.”
“Holy Flood Dragon Bloodline!”
With a roar, the Sky-Breaking Monarch activated his bloodline power. A massive Holy Flood Dragon Bloodline appeared over his head.
The Holy Flood Dragon was nearly ten kilometers long. It floated forth from within the River of Time, a majestic creature covered in green scales.
As it appeared, the Black Monarch Python curled up in fright. It trembled on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
The path of ascension for snake-type demonic beasts was this, first, they become pythons; then, flood dragons. What the Sky-Breaking Monarch had awakened was the bloodline of a Holy Flood Dragon, which belonged to a branch of the Flood Dragon Bloodlines.
The Holy Flood Dragon Bloodline was a famous bloodline. Rumor had it that it had reached the half-saint level. With just one more step, it could reach the saint level.
The Sky-Breaking Monarch stared at Qingfeng Li. “My Holy Flood Dragon Bloodline is incredibly powerful,” he boasted, his expression cold. “Today, I’m going to drain all the blood in your body. I’m going to preserve your corpse and keep it where I can see it.”
The Sky-Breaking Monarch’s words were positively venomous. It was obvious that he loathed Qingfeng Li.
“You’re using a bloodline power.” Qingfeng Li was unimpressed. “Now you’re just asking for it. If you really want to die, I’ll give you a hand. It just so happens that I need some more energy myself.”
“Devourer Bloodline!”
Qingfeng Li activated the Devourer Bloodline within him, creating a massive black vortex over his head. The vortex measured at least nine thousand meters across.
As Qingfeng Li’s powers and resources had grown, his bloodline powers had also undergone changes. The manifestations of his bloodline powers had naturally become stronger as well.
As the Devourer Bloodline appeared, so did a massive black hole in the sky. Immense energy filled the sky, stirring up all the stars therein. Even the earth shook under the pressure.
The Devourer Bloodline vortex exuded a powerful pulling force. Immediately, the Holy Flood Dragon Bloodline was drawn over by it. The Holy Flood Dragon Bloodline gave a howl of pain, a hint of fear surfacing in its eyes.
At this level, the Holy Flood Dragon Bloodline had developed its own consciousness. Even though it had surfaced from the River of Time, it still had its own awareness.
The Holy Flood Dragon Bloodline recognized the immense power of the Devourer Bloodline and tried to resist, to run.
Unfortunately, to the Devourer Bloodline, the Holy Flood Dragon Bloodline was a delicacy. It wasn’t about to let this tasty morsel off the hook. Clamping down on its tail, it dragged the Holy Flood Dragon Bloodline in.
As the Holy Flood Dragon Bloodline howled in agony, the massive vortex that was the Devourer Bloodline drew it into its center and began to slowly absorb the energy in its body.
In just a short while, it had completely absorbed all of its bloodline energy, turning them into black specks and assimilating it into its own power.
Then, the Devourer Bloodline returned to Qingfeng Li’s body. Most of the power had been absorbed by the Devourer Bloodline’s vortex. However, a part of its power was given to Qingfeng Li.
The immense power flooded into Qingfeng Li’s spirit nucleus like water from the sea.
Having absorbed this immense body of energy, his Yin-Yang Spirit Nucleus begun to undergo a massive change. Its black and white coloration became even more vivid. At the same time, a wave of Saint level energy formed on its surface. This Saint level energy seemed to have been born from heaven and earth themselves.
Qingfeng Li’s eyes lit up. He knew that this saint level energy was comprised of half-saint Laws.
However, Qingfeng Li had yet to develop a complete set of saint level laws. However, half-saint Laws were already immensely powerful. Its formation represented that Qingfeng Li had a foot through the door to the half-saint Realm.
Qingfeng Li felt that his body was filled with power. Like a giant of a Saint, he felt that he had more power in his body than he could ever use.
Qingfeng Li looked ahead. Across from him, the Sky-Breaking Monarch’s face was pale. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole demeanor seemed wilted.
His bloodline power had all been devoured by Qingfeng Li. His core blood, internal organs, and the rest of his body had all suffered heavy damages. He wobbled on his feet, nearly toppling over.
Like an arrow, Qingfeng Li’s body shot forward, appearing beside the Sky-Breaking Monarch in an instant. Then, he swung his fist. There was a shrill sound as his fist tore through the air, slamming forward.
There was a loud thump as his fist went straight through the Sky-Breaking Monarch’s chest, smashing all the bones in the process. A massive black hole appeared in his chest. Through the opening, bright red muscles and veins were clearly visible. The sight was terrifying to the extreme.
Ah!
The Sky-Breaking Monarch opened his mouth and let out a shriek of agony. The intense pain was more than he could bear. He glared toward Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with hatred and rage.
Qingfeng Li sneered. “You’re still glaring at me?” he said. “Go to hell.”
Qingfeng Li abruptly swung his Yin-Yang Sky Halberd, stabbing it forward. With a crack, it pierced the Sky-Breaking Monarch’s heart.
His face full of rage, the Sky-Breaking Monarch glared at Qingfeng Li with regret and resentment until, finally, life drained from his eyes.
Swoosh!
A moment later, a spiritual nascent soul flew out from deep within the Sky-Breaking Monarch’s mind-space.
This was his half-saint nascent soul, making a bid to escape. The Black-White Millstone flew out from within Qingfeng Li’s mind-space and let out twin beams of black and white light. In an instant, the Sky-Breaking Monarch’s spiritual nascent soul was imprisoned, and then devoured, becoming energy for the millstone.
The Black-White Millstone loved this kind of half-saint spiritual energy. This was its favorite food.
