Chapter 372 - 370: Battling the 8-Winged Divine Tiger

"Fine, fine, fine..." The Elder Ancestor of the Tiger Roar Sect laughed in extreme anger. He was a terrifying Elder Ancestor who had been sealed underground for countless years. To emerge today for a mere junior, he had expected to capture him with ease. He never imagined he wouldn’t gain any advantage at all.

He was an unimaginably powerful Elder Ancestor. Yet, even after using his Lifebound True Artifact, he had failed to slay a junior. To him, this was an utter humiliation.

"Take this!" The Elder Ancestor of the Tiger Roar Sect was driven mad with rage. He was now holding a treasure in his hand. The moment this treasure appeared, its divine power swept across the land, eclipsing the sun and moon and dimming the stars.

"The Tiger God’s Lifebound True Artifact!" Someone recognized the treasure in the Elder Ancestor’s hand and was horrified, their expression changing drastically.

The artifact was wreathed in sacred laws, pulsing with endless divine light. It was as if a True God was gestating within the True Artifact. The divine power it emanated was like that of a supreme being, majestic without being wrathful, making everyone’s heart tremble. It felt as if a True God was pressing down on them all.

The Primordial Ancestor of the Tiger Roar Sect was, according to legend, a Great Sage who had achieved Divine Enthronement. This was an existence far beyond what ordinary Great Sages could ever compare to! A lofty, supreme being, an Immortal Primordial Ancestor!

"Junior, die!" the Elder Ancestor of the Tiger Roar Sect roared in fury. He dripped his Longevity Blood onto the Tiger God’s True Artifact. In an instant, a bloody light shot into the sky. A tiger’s roar shattered the Great Dao, making all the gods tremble incessantly!

"Is that so—" Li Qiye laughed loudly. His Yin Yang Blood Sea churned without rest, its endless Blood Qi raising monstrous waves thousands of feet high. This transformed into a torrential flow of Longevity Blood that poured over his Life Wheel, and the incomparably powerful Blood Qi fueled the two Immortal Emperor’s Treasures in his hands!

"Kill!" the Elder Ancestor of the Tiger Roar Sect bellowed in a furious roar. He unleashed the Tiger God’s True Artifact. A White Tiger leaped into the sky. This was a true Divine Tiger. As it took a step forward, space-time shattered. It crossed an immeasurable distance in a single leap. A swipe of its paw evaporated the sea and annihilated mountains and rivers. Its invincible divine power made countless existences tremble.

"Thousand Hands Reverse Nine Realms!" Instead of retreating, Li Qiye advanced with a long cry. The Nine Realms slowly rose, and a thousand hands lifted the Three Thousand Worlds. The two Immortal Emperor’s Treasures were already powerful enough under the propulsion of the heaven-scorching Blood Qi, but now, they erupted with an even more potent Emperor’s Divine Force and Immortal Force.

The Emperor Purple Hammer unleashed a sky-rending Emperor’s Qi. Amidst the surging purple gas, an endless territory appeared, as if a Great Emperor was establishing his Dao there, manifesting the profound secrets of the heavens and earth. Meanwhile, the Profound Earth Turtle Staff produced an immense Xuanwu. This Xuanwu stomped the earth flat and bore the blue sky on its back, deriving the Ten Thousand Laws Path and sealing ancient totems!

This time, the two Immortal Emperor’s Treasures didn’t just blast forward. Instead, they instantly sealed the gateway, acting as if two Immortal Emperors were guarding Li Qiye’s mountain gate!

BOOM! With a deafening explosion, the White Tiger slammed into the gateway sealed by the two Immortal Emperor’s Treasures with its invincible divine power. With a cracking sound, the endless Void shattered like glass, scattering across the sky!

DONG, DONG, DONG! Li Qiye was forced back several steps. A Great Sage using his full power to wield the True Destiny Treasure of an existence who had achieved Divine Enthronement... one could only imagine its might. Yet, it still failed to kill Li Qiye!

"How is this possible? Even the Tiger God’s True Artifact couldn’t kill him!" Seeing this, an unknown number of people were utterly horrified!

A great character sighed softly and said, "This brat is simply Heaven-Defying. He can unleash at least fifty or sixty percent of an Immortal Emperor’s Treasure’s power. Not even the successors of the Ancient Countries have such an advantage!"

"Even with two Immortal Emperor’s Treasures, you cannot escape death. Immortal Emperor’s Treasures are not omnipotent!" The Elder Ancestor of the Tiger Roar Sect said coldly, having gained the upper hand with the Tiger God’s True Artifact.

Li Qiye smiled. "I might actually agree with you if you were still young, or if your Blood Qi was still vigorous. A Great Sage, that’s truly incredible. Even an ordinary Great Sage can shake an Immortal Emperor’s Treasure in the hands of a junior! But you can’t. You’re old. Your Lifespan is dry, and your Blood Qi is withered. True, you can gain an advantage with just the Tiger God’s True Artifact. However, I have two Immortal Emperor’s Treasures. If I fight with all my might, I can withstand thirty to fifty of your moves. But how long can your Blood Qi sustain the Tiger God’s True Artifact?"

Li Qiye’s words moved even many of the distant spectators. Although Immortal Emperor’s Treasures consumed an immense amount of Blood Qi, Li Qiye’s advantage was his youth and vigorous blood. Moreover, his Longevity Treasure was of the Immortal Emperor Level. This was enough to sustain him for quite some time!

"Long enough to kill you!" The Elder Ancestor’s eyes turned sharp. In fact, Li Qiye’s words had struck a sore spot. His Lifespan was indeed running dry. Even if he killed Li Qiye with the Tiger God’s True Artifact, his Blood Qi would be exhausted. This meant he could never be sealed away again; he would surely die of old age. Even if he killed Li Qiye, he could not escape the same fate.

"AHH—" Just then, a wretched scream echoed as a rain of blood filled the sky. With a wild laugh, the Lion Roar Saint Emperor had actually torn the Old Imperial Tutor of the Nu Xian Sacred Country in half!

"It’s time to end this—" In that instant, Li Shuangyan also let out a sharp cry. With the Stellar Celestial Disc in hand, she flipped it over, and the starry sky was utterly destroyed. Its immense power crushed down directly onto the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor. The Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor screamed as he was sent flying. In that split second, before he could even counterattack, Chen Baojiao, like a Storm Goddess, had already slashed down with her Overlord Immortal Saber—Heaven-Spanning Eight Blades, a surging sea of saber light!

"No—" The Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor tried to block the attack with numerous treasures, but he couldn’t stop the Overlord Immortal Saber at all. With a final, miserable cry, he was slain by the single strike.

In the blink of an eye, two great experts from the Tiger Roar Sect’s camp were slain. The Elder Ancestor’s expression changed drastically. He wanted to rescue them but couldn’t, with Li Qiye and his two Immortal Emperor’s Treasures watching him like a tiger stalking its prey!

Seeing this, it wasn’t just the disciples and experts of the Tiger Roar Sect who turned pale. Even the numerous distant spectators from outside the sect were shocked. Li Qiye’s faction was simply too powerful.

"If this is all the Tiger Roar Sect is capable of, then it’ll be impossible for you to keep me here today," Li Qiye said, looking at the Elder Ancestor, whose face was as cold as ice.

The Elder Ancestor of the Tiger Roar Sect was so furious he could have spat blood. He laughed in extreme anger and said coldly, "Fine, fine! Junior, do you really think you’re the only one with an Immortal Emperor’s Treasure? I call upon the Ancient Country’s Imperial Artifact!"

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM! As the Elder Ancestor’s words fell, an Emperor’s Divine Force and Immortal Force suddenly ravaged the land for millions of miles. It was even stronger than the two Immortal Emperor’s Treasures in Li Qiye’s hands!

In that instant, four Immortal Emperor’s Treasures appeared in the four cardinal directions around the Tiger Roar Sect. In a flash, a tyrannical and terrifying Emperor’s Divine Force and Immortal Force crushed this part of the world. The entire East Hundred Cities trembled!

"An Immortal Emperor True Artifact!" At this moment, someone sensed an aura as if an Immortal Emperor had personally arrived and turned pale with fright!

Right now, three Immortal Emperor’s Treasures and one Immortal Emperor True Artifact were suppressing the entire Tiger Roar Sect, sealing the heavens and earth in all four directions! At this moment, forget the people inside the Tiger Roar Sect; even those outside were so frightened they collapsed weakly to the ground.

’Is this the prelude to sinking the Tiger Roar Sect?’ At this moment, in the East Hundred Cities, countless Old Undyings from the Great Sects sensed the aura of the Immortal Emperor True Artifact, and their expressions changed dramatically!

"The Demon-Suppressing Staff, Fu Mo Immortal Emperor’s True Artifact! The True Water Dragon Staff, the Divine Fire Phoenix Staff, and the Celestial Wood Tiger Staff!" Seeing these three Immortal Emperor’s Treasures and one Immortal Emperor True Artifact, someone said, aghast, "Fu Mo Immortal Emperor’s entire set of Emperor Artifacts is here today!"

Fu Mo Immortal Emperor of the Yao Guang Ancient Country once left behind a set of Emperor Artifacts, which consisted of his True Artifact and the Demon-Slaying Four Symbols Staff! It was said that Fu Mo Immortal Emperor’s full set of Emperor Artifacts could form an invincible Emperor Array!

Including the Profound Earth Turtle Staff in Li Qiye’s hands, Fu Mo Immortal Emperor’s entire set of Emperor Artifacts has now appeared in the Tiger Roar Sect’s ancestral Sect Territory.

Not only three Immortal Emperor’s Treasures, but even an Immortal Emperor True Artifact had appeared. Seeing this, everyone sucked in a cold breath. Today was truly a war of Immortal Emperor’s Artifacts!

"What an incredible play! An Immortal Emperor’s entire arsenal of Emperor’s Soldiers has been brought out. Only an Ancient Country could pull off something like this!" Seeing the four Emperor’s Soldiers suppressing the four corners of the Tiger Roar Sect, countless people were dumbfounded.

"This is a joint operation between the Tiger Roar Sect, the Nu Xian Sacred Country, and the Yao Guang Ancient Country! This isn’t the Tiger Roar Sect acting alone. Or rather, this is a war directed by the Yao Guang Ancient Country!" A Sect Leader understood the profound secret behind it all, and his expression changed.

In this war, the Tiger Roar Sect was merely the battlefield. The true mastermind was the Yao Guang Ancient Country!

"The Yao Guang Ancient Country has finally shown itself." Li Qiye narrowed his eyes and instructed Li Shuangyan and the others, "You all leave first. I’ll deal with them!"

"It is too late to leave now." At that moment, a terrifying voice rang out. A faint shadow appeared in the sky above. The moment this shadow appeared, the world itself seemed to shrink. He stood there as if he were a god, the sovereign of heaven and earth.

Seeing that faint shadow, countless people felt the urge to kneel and worship. A primal fear rising from the depths of their souls permeated the hearts of countless people.

"The Guardian Divine Beast of the Yao Guang Ancient Country!" Li Qiye’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the blurry, indistinct shadow in the sky.

"The Guardian Divine Beast of the Yao Guang Ancient Country!" Hearing this title, someone screamed. Even the Old Undyings hiding in the dark to watch were shocked, murmuring, "Is that an Immortal Being?"

Immortal Being. This was not a title just anyone could claim. An Old Undying like the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor was not qualified. Even the title of ’legendary powerhouse’ was beyond their reach, to say nothing of ’Immortal Being’.

Some said that only those who had achieved Divine Enthronement could be called Immortal Beings. Although there was no standard rule for this title, it was a well-known fact that anyone who could be called an Immortal Being was not someone an ordinary Great Sage could ever hope to compare to!
