Chapter 1335: True Power
While Jianshiâs absolute sword domain confronted Guojianâs sword dao, Li Qiye had already swept Yujiang off his feet and held him by the throat.
Yujiangâs eyes turned white as he gasped for air. Li Qiye maintained his grip and chuckled: âIf an ant continues to crawl beneath my feet, wanting to bite, I wonât mind stomping it to death.â
âMa-master, save me!â When death was this close, Yujiang finally felt fear as he turned pale and begged his master for help.
âLi Qiye, do you really want to become enemies with our Dream Empyrean?â Guojian was alarmed as well. Even though he was a Grand Godking, he couldnât quickly defeat Jianshi. Moreover, she herself had an Immortal Emperor Life Treasure!
He had no choice but to shout and reveal his backing when his discipleâs life was hanging by a thread: âLi Qiye, rethink things over! If you kill my disciple today, you will become our enemy! At that point, there will be no place for you left in this world!â
Guojianâs threat was blatant, but it wasnât just an arrogant rhetoric. Many cultivators shuddered after hearing this, including paragons from the previous generation.
Killing Meng Zhentianâs granddisciple in front of this many people was something unforgivable. Meng Zhentianâs power was as clear as day. If he actually became the Immortal Emperor, one could easily imagine the consequences of being his enemy. Just as Guojian has said, the world might be vast, but there will be no place for them to hide!
Thus, one needed to weigh their own ability after hearing such a threat. However, this didnât seem to apply to Li Qiye who only smiled in response.
Ruyan also chuckled and emotionlessly said: âLord Cao, is this your personal opinion, or are you representing your masterâs will?â
âIâm speaking on behalf of my master!â He immediately replied: âLi Qiye, if you seek self-preservation, let go of my disciple right now or face the consequences!â
He was afraid of breaking the vase while trying to kill the mouse. He couldnât kill Jianshi in a short period of time and knew that even if he tried to save Yujiang, it would only be pushing him further towards death. Thus, he had to borrow his masterâs prestige to intimidate Li Qiye into sparing his disciple.
This was met with a carefree smile from Li Qiye: âI actually want to see Meng Zhentianâs will and if it can save his granddisciple or not.â
Having said that, he clenched his fingers. A cracking sound resounded along with Yujiangâs scream. His soul almost left his body from fright as he yelled: âMaster, save me!â
Provoking Meng Zhentian this blatantly left everyone stunned silly.
âStop! Behold my masterâs decree!â Having said that, Guojian unrolled a scroll.
The word âpardonâ was written on it. The character was written in a majestic manner; every stroke contained the rhythm of the dao. It also contained the invincible will of Meng Zhentian since it was handwritten by him.
Someone at his invincible level could impart their will into their writing that would then cause others to tremble in fear.
Many peopleâs knees uncontrollably shook after seeing this word.
It had yet to come down, but its divine aura alone was already enough to instill fear into their souls. One could extrapolate just how powerful Meng Zhentian was from this decree.
Everyone held their breaths after Guojian took out the scroll. The atmosphere instantly became oppressive.
It wasnât just a decree that represented an invincible will. Keep in mind that Meng Zhentian was still alive and would become the Immortal Emperor. This meant that anyone who chose not to give him any consideration would be opposing him â an unforgivable feud. No matter who they might be, they must think twice before making this decision.
The dignified atmosphere made someone as great as Cao Guojian feel a bit smug. After all, his masterâs prestige could still threaten the world like before. This will, his masterâs glory was simply unstoppable, so of course he was proud and arrogant.
He had quite a momentum going as he declared: âSchoolmasters, this is my masterâs inviolable will! If you wish to oppose my Dream Empyrean and my master, then invite your own masters first. This relates to your schoolsâ future, an existential crisis!â
At this time, the two sides were about to abandon all pretenses. Earlier, Guojian was still quite polite, but he was now furious after the quick exchange. Their Dream Empyrean was on the rise while his master was the sun at noon. Why should he tolerate such disrespect from the Void Imperfection Schools?
âWhatâs so great about Meng Zhentianâs decree?â Jianshi was much more graceful, but the demoness Ruyan didnât share this personality.
She became irate towards Guojianâs threats: âNot to mention that he has yet to become emperor, even if he was one, his will does not represent everything! A decree, right? Very well, take a look at my Evil Devourer Schoolâs will!â
Having said that, a scroll appeared in her hand. With a loud blast, four words showed up â âWorld, be exonerated!â They flowed as smooth as dancing dragons and phoenixes. Even though the style was refined and graceful, they had an aura capable of assaulting myriad ages.
It was an ancient scroll, yet its momentum didnât wither in the slightest. Ruyan was already an unrestrained individual, so in her rage, she directed the decree straight at Cao Guojian.
This exoneration decree suppressed the entire region. An ethereal beauty capable of devouring the world seemed to be standing there among the characters.
A paragon who knew what it was shouted: âThe decree of the Evil Devourer progenitor!â
Guojian didnât think that Ruyan would immediately fight after a little argument without leaving any room for deliberation. He was shocked and had no choice but to also unleash the decree in his hand against the divine prestige of a grand completion Immortal Physique user.
âBoom!â The word âpardonâ pierced the sun and flew across the world. A figure emerged within, stealing the brilliance of the celestials as it looked down on all existences!
âMeng Zhentianâs will!â Everyone knew who this figure was right away.
It represented his unstoppable will. Not only was he powerful, he was still alive. This meant that his will would be even stronger. It made everyone think that the real deal was standing before them.
Weaker cultivators couldnât stand straight and had to kneel on the ground as they were unable to handle his pressure.
âYet to be emperor but already acting like one!â Ruyan sneered. She fearlessly unleashed all the power in her scroll.
âBoom!â This decree seemingly vanished, giving room for a terrifying black hole to appear. The ethereal figure standing in the black hole had her hair fluttering in the wind. She looked around and was ready to devour gods and devils!
This was the will of the Evil Devourer progenitor. Even though she didnât become an Immortal Emperor, she was an Immortal Physique user that could assail one!
With her will crashing down, Meng Zhentianâs figure also erupted and grew incomparably tall. He could seize the stars as well as the entire world in his palm. It was as if his stomp could flatten all things. However, this will couldnât hold up against the physique user.
âBoom!â Under the constant suppression of the progenitor, Zhentianâs mighty figure suddenly dimmed. His sky-wearing body slowly shrunk.
A big shot murmured to himself: âThis is a real grand completion master at the summit. Even if she didnât have this physique, her cultivation back then must have been stronger than Meng Zhentian. This is a real existence capable of hurting an emperor!â
Both were decrees, but Meng Zhentianâs was inferior compared to the Evil Devourer progenitorâs. Despite the fact that he was still alive, his decree couldnât resist her will.
After all, it was exactly what that cultivator said earlier, she was a true existence at the Emperor Assailant level. Her cultivation on top of her grand completion Immortal Physique granted her unfathomable might!
