Sage Monarch - Chapter 241

Chapter 241: 241

The masked Young Lady closely watched Yang Qi carrying out slaughter in the hell monsoon, and her eyes glittered .  

‘This guy’s cultivation base really is designed to dominate fiend-devils . He can even neutralize a hell monsoon and turn it into burning fire to temper his true energy . Not even Great Sages can do things like that . One who got caught in a hell monsoon would need to be very careful to avoid being infected with wretch energy . ’

She was an observer, and apparently, wasn’t even in the same world as Yang Qi, but rather, in another one . It was a special ability of hers that not even most Great Sages could duplicate, something born of her unique constitution . In this regard, she was similar to Yang Susu .

Yang Qi didn’t have time to spend observing her . He continued to charge deeper into the hell monsoon, where the devil-ghosts, zombies, and fiend-devils grew stronger and more powerful . As a result, his Hell Portal and Hellfire Crucible raged with increasing intensity, his true energy continued to be refined, and the scope of his psychic tempest increased .

The Grand Emperor's Pagoda was also in full operation . Combined with the effects of his two techniques, Yang Qi was like an executioner from hell, slaughtering fiend-devils like mad . Millions of them were ripped to shreds, causing a powerful aura of death to spread out .

Soon, the fiend-devils in the hell monsoon began to back away from him .

But then, a terrifying howl swept forth as the most enormous fiend-devil so far appeared, a leader of sorts, fierce and murderous, fully three hundred meters tall, burly, with massive wings .

This beast was in the third Legendary transformation, a fiend-devil count who was a Space-Void Legendary . He fairly radiated a sensation of nobility and power that would cause any human who encountered him to feel like they were suffocating . His entire three-hundred-meter frame was covered with armor, and it was impossible to say how much raging true energy existed inside him .

Whether it was true energy or physical strength, a fiend-devil like this would surpass any human of the same cultivation level by dozens of times . In other words, not even ten Blightczar Manyrivers would be a match for him .  

Only the ancient megamammoths could possibly match up with fiend-devils in terms of physical constitution; a single megamammoth could suck a river into its trunk and then spray it up into the air to create a rainstorm . And the energy arts cultivated by the megamammoths were focused on brute strength . After all, they were the descendants of the godmammoths, so even the weakest of the megamammoths could slaughter fiend-devils with ease .

At the moment, Yang Qi had the power of multiple megamammoths, plus the Physique of the Sovereign Lord . On a substructural level, he was the equivalent of two thousand megamammoths, and therefore, he had what it took to crush this powerful fiend-devil .

As he faced the beast, his aura surged, and he summoned his Infernal Deity Spear . Burning with fire, the spear extended until it was three thousand meters long . The Nightfall Symphony rang out, causing the hell monsoon to tremble violently .

Eyeing Yang Qi, the fiend-devil spat out a string of words in the Infernal tongue of hell, apparently some sort of spell or curse .  

“Kurūkh karražk… . ”

Ghostly light sprang from his eyes, and misty winds swirled around him as he extended a blood-colored ghost saber made from true energy . Everything in the area was suddenly stained the same color, making it like a sea of blood . Without hesitating, the fiend-devil slashed the saber at Yang Qi .

Clash . Clang .

The Infernal Deity Spear and the blood-colored ghost saber slashed back and forth, causing killing energy to ripple out in all directions .

Yang Qi’s true energy flowed without cease, and flames wreathed the Infernal Deity Spear . At the same time, the image of a godmammoth appeared behind him, surrounded by stars that fell like rain .

Massive power smashed into the blood-colored ghost sabre, which quivered and then shattered .

Shocked, the fiend-devil count backed up a few paces .

Suddenly, an ancient voice spoke from Yang Qi’s forehead, using nothing other than Godtongue .  

“You have blasphemed the legion of gods, fiend-devil, and you will be punished for it . Under the glory of the Lord, all fiends will be slaughtered, and the world will be bathed in radiance and light . ” 

His Lord's Eye opened, and a massive stream of light shot out, smacking into the huge fiend-devil with might that surpassed any divine weapon or god item . In fact, the fiend-devil’s armor was instantly pierced .

The burning light ignited the fiend-devil’s flesh and blood, and he was absolutely incapable of doing anything to stop it .

The beast screamed, and his devil energy raged as he tried to extinguish the fire . Unfortunately for him, it did no good . Even if he had far more devil energy than he did, he couldn’t fight those flames . In fact, it was actually like pouring oil onto fire . Soon, even the surrounding areas of the hell monsoon were burning .

Once again, the Hell Portal appeared, sucked in the burning fiend-devil count, and deposited him into the Hellfire Crucible . As the fiend-devil’s life force was turned into burning fire, Yang Qi became even more holy . His flesh and blood grew more refined, almost as if he had been refined by the striking of a thousand hammers .

‘He took out a Space-Void Legendary fiend-devil, just like that?’ thought the Young Lady . ‘Burned alive, and the thing couldn’t even defend himself? What type of fire is that? It’s designed to target devil energy . ’

Without saying a single word, Yang Qi continued into the depths of the hell monsoon, fighting and killing everything in his path . Each slash of his spear was like a mountain crushing into the armies around it, slaying zombies, devil-ghosts, skeletons, fiend-devils, spirit creatures, and other hellish beasts .

Before long, the Infernal Deity Spear began to change color . The blood of the hellish fiend-devils which covered it provoked a transformation in which it shone with scintillating light . Angels appeared, flying in the air around the spear, singing holy hymns as a beautiful choir .

Massive flames burned away at the hell monsoon, as brilliant light pushed away the darkness, replacing hell with pure holiness .

‘I represent the legion of gods, and I spread radiance and light . I will drive darkness to the furthest reaches of the universe… . Where I stand, life is welcome, and the rot of hell will be forced to retreat… . The glory of the legion of gods, and the dignity of the Lord . I shall propagate both… . ’ As the slaughter continued, Yang Qi’s true energy grew stronger, until his meridians were virtually magical symbols written out in Godtongue . He felt like he was one with nature, and because of the cleansing quality of the quintessence energy of heaven and earth, he would never run out of energy . He was like a tool designed specifically to wage war on hell .

At the same time, the psychic tempest inside him grew more powerful, to the point where the vital energy in the area was beginning to transform .

Eventually, the Young Lady settled down cross-legged, hovering there in the void, eyes closed . When she finally opened her eyes, she murmured, “An entire day has passed . ”

Later… .

“Two days… . ”

Multiple days passed . At one point, the Young Lady opened her eyes and saw that Yang Qi had slaughtered just about every hellish being in sight . Time worked differently in the hell monsoon, but the Young Lady was able to sync this aspect of space-time with the Rich-Lush Continent . And thus, she knew that Yang Qi had been fighting nonstop for seven days and seven nights .

He was like a god of battle who could never tire .

‘Whether or not he has a Great Sage backer, his future prospects are limitless . Give him a few dozen years, a hundred at most, and he’ll be another Crown Prince . It’s too bad that two tigers can’t live on one mountain . The Crown Prince definitely won’t allow him to stay alive . Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before Yang Qi surpassed him . ’

Even as she considered the matter, she heard Yang Qi shout, “Second Legendary transformation . Spirit-Soul Transformation!”

Boundless flames wreathed him, and his true energy created the images of palaces, god-spirits, and war being waged . There were even scenes from hell .

A massive psychic tempest erupted, ripping the void around him to shreds, and putting an end to even more devil-ghosts in the hell monsoon .

Thanks to the seven days and nights of fierce fighting, Yang Qi had pushed his fleshly body to the limit, and had finally broken through to the second Legendary transformation .

As of this point, his spirit and soul were unimaginably powerful . Thanks to the psychic tempest, something like an infant had been created, which was none other than a manifestation of his soul, barely visible within the depths of his pupils .

Looking around, he suddenly realized that the many distortions in space-time around him resembled the holes worms might leave as they burrowed through the soil .

Wormholes .

That was the word that came to mind . Looking out through his psychic tempest, he saw numerous barriers which were obviously passageways to other worlds and planes . Some of them had no life, some of them teemed with it . Others abounded with evil .

The world had changed to him, on a substructural level .

It was as if the world had been two-dimensional to him before, but now, it was three-dimensional, and richly colorful . Everything was different .

Inside of the Grand Emperor's Pagoda, spirit stones burned brightly as his power rose higher and higher . However, in that moment, he suddenly saw what looked like a sea of lightning out in the void . Tribulation had come .

It spread out without cease, covering everything in the area, to the point where the Young Lady actually began to back away . “Sea Lightning Grand Tribulation?”
