Sage Monarch - Chapter 298

Chapter 298: 298

All of a sudden, Great Sage Quake-Cloud was bathed in holy light, and his head grew back .  

“Flesh and Blood Rebirth; Quake-Dawn God Magic!”

It was a powerful divine ability that only Great Sages could utilize . However, despite the fact that he had avoided death, Great Sage Quake-Cloud was completely terrified by what had just occurred, and lost all sense of courage . He had assumed that the sinister-looking old man with Yang Qi was a nobody . How could he ever have guessed that what he assumed was a bunny rabbit was actually a devil-dragon!?

After all, Ghost Emperor Yama had sealed his aura perfectly, making it seem that he was nothing more than a low-level Legendary . Although Legendaries were still looked up to, in the Demi-Immortal Institute, they weren’t particularly noteworthy .

Nobody could ever have guessed that he was really a devil king from primeval times, someone who was tens of thousands of years old . He was someone who could destroy anything and everything, who could reduce the world to rubble .

In fact, a casual move on his part had destroyed the head of a Great Sage .

His cultivation base was so profound that Great Sage Quake-Cloud was too weak to even fight back .

And yet, Great Sage Quake-Cloud was still a Great Sage from a higher plane .

After regrowing his head, he shouted in rage as he summoned a field of millions upon millions of layers of blinding light . Instantly, the land began to quake, and the sea of clouds overhead was torn to pieces .

Buildings in the Demi-Immortal Institute began to crack and crumble to the ground, and subterranean spell formations were destroyed . The effects rapidly spread for dozens of kilometers, and as the buildings collapsed, students fled out into the open, screaming in shock and confusion .

Shouting, the chancellor waved his sleeve, sending out a stream of pure vital energy right in between Great Sage Quake-Cloud and Ghost Emperor Yama, hoping to stop them from fighting . At the same time, he sucked all of the students of the institute into his sleeve .

His sleeve contained an entire cosmos, and every living thing in the area was pulled to safety inside of it . In the end, the chancellor still wanted to keep the Demi-Immortal Institute safe .

“Anybody who gets in my way is dead!” Ghost Emperor Yama was enraged, and was absolutely determined to kill Great Sage Quake-Cloud, no matter who tried to stop him .

Even as the chancellor swished his sleeve, Ghost Emperor Yama roared in fury, causing the air to split open, and filling the area with rumbling sounds . At the same time, a massive rift opened up above the sea of clouds, surrounded by a spider web of cracks and tears . Instantly, tribulation fire, tribulation water, and tribulation wind began to descend . As they did, they became primal-chaos that threatened to turn the entire area into a sea of tribulation .

Even the Minorcosm World up in the clouds was threatened, and seemed like it might explode .

The burning sun overhead turned black, and the sunlight became streams of black flame .

Even the sun and moon were being devilized .

Ghost Emperor Yama stood there like the ultimate devil in heaven and earth, ready to spread his kingdom to cover the lands .  

“Yama Sage Domain; Sun-Moon Devilization! Wherever I step, the world of man becomes a land of devils… . ”

His sage domain easily negated the stream of vital energy from the chancellor .

“If you try to stop me from killing this despicable twit, then I’ll destroy the entire Demi-Immortal Institute!” Flames erupted from Ghost Emperor Yama’s eyes, shooting up to engulf the Minorcosm World .

“Cosmic Reversal!” The chancellor shot up into the air to block Ghost Emperor Yama’s fiery gaze, and then waved his sleeve again, sucking the massive Minorcosm World into it . At the same time, a host of stars appeared up above, which sent starlight streaming down through the sea of clouds with the power to demolish devils .

“Devil-Demolishing Legion of Stars? Complete crap! Watch and see what a ghost emperor can do! Devil-Completing Army of Stars!” BOOOOM! Innumerable streams of devil energy shot up to meet the starlight, and turn it completely black .

Meanwhile, the chancellor simply turned and left Ghost Emperor Yama’s sphere of influence, seemingly uninterested at all in fighting him . Some distance away, he waved his sleeve again, sending the students of the institute out, where they quickly formed ranks . After all, his sleeve could contain them all, but couldn’t necessarily keep them safe if he ended up in a protracted fight .

When he left the area of devil energy, Ghost Emperor Yama ignored him . Even he seemed to realize that the chancellor was profoundly mysterious, and was not someone to be casually trifled with . Turning, he once again faced Great Sage Quake-Cloud .

“You despicable beast . You insulted me, Ghost Emperor Yama, and the only way to pay for that is with your blood!"

His Yama Sage Domain quickly spread out to cover Great Sage Quake-Cloud, whose face fell dramatically . However, he still had backup techniques to try to protect himself .

“Sacrificial Instrumentation! Great God of Quake-Dawn, come to me!”

BOOOOM!

A space-time wormhole opened up, and the power of faith flowed forth . In the blink of an eye, and enormous god appeared behind Great Sage Quake-Cloud, a terrifying being who seemed capable of driving away all devil energy .

But all Ghost Emperor Yama did was walk forward, his eyes blazing with devilfire, the sky above him darkened by the black flames of the sun and moon . This was the might of a primeval devil king!

“The power of faith? Great God of Quake-Dawn? You think that will stop me? How very naive . Be destroyed!”

He then unleashed a fist strike that caused all heaven and earth to shake . In fact, it seemed capable of vanquishing the sea of stars itself .

The fist slammed into the Great God of Quake-Dawn, which immediately crumbled to pieces .

POP!

Great Sage Quake-Cloud coughed up a mouthful of blood as a gaping wound opened up on his torso, revealing his five viscera and six bowels, twitching and wriggling . “Time to go all out . Sage Domain; Kingdom of Clouds!”

White clouds spread out in all directions, which was none other than Great Sage Quake-Cloud's sage domain, filled with sage motes .

Shockingly, he was sacrificing his sage domain in an attempt to flee!

“You're delusional!” Ghost Emperor Yama said, taking another step forward . When his foot fell, black devil energy spread out from his foot and into the sea of clouds .

With the single stomp of his foot, he destroyed the massive sage domain . In fact, it shattered as easily as a chicken egg .

Great Sage Quake-Cloud flopped to the ground, and Ghost Emperor Yama walked over and began to trample him .  

“I'm a Great Sage from the Quake-Dawn Cathedral!” the man screamed . “You can’t kill me! You’ll bring disaster on all these lands!”

“The reason I'm killing you is precisely because you’re a Great Sage from the Quake-Dawn Cathedral! You people are the ones who sealed me for tens of thousands of years!” Ghost Emperor Yama reached out and grabbed Great Sage Quake-Cloud’s head, causing it to burst into flames .

His screams could shake heaven and earth .

Off in the distance, the prime elders, grand elders, and numerous students of the institute were watching the scene play out .

All of them were trembling in fear; were it not for the chancellor’s timely interference before, all of them would be dead already . Either that, or devilized by Ghost Emperor Yama .

“Chancellor, that’s Ghost Emperor Yama! He’s supposed to be sealed in the Heavencorpse Kingdom! He's free! Ghost Emperor Yama is free!”

“That's right . He’s killing Great Sage Quake-Cloud!” one of the prime elders said . “We have to stop him! He's going to irreparably damage our relationship with the Quake-Dawn Cathedral . Chancellor, do something! Hurry!”

“I couldn’t stop him even if I tried,” the chancellor said coolly . “Ah, Yang Qi . Yet again I underestimated you . You actually brought Ghost Emperor Yama with you . ”

The masked Young Lady was also in the group . “Father, what are we going to do?”

“Let the Crown Prince sort things out . With Ghost Emperor Yama on Yang Qi’s side, the prime elders can forget about punishing Yang Qi . The most important thing is to make sure Ghost Emperor Yama doesn’t go on a killing spree . If he does, it will be a major disaster . I’ll see if I can calm him down in a moment . ”

One agonized scream after another erupted from Great Sage Quake-Cloud’s mouth .

The terrifying things that Ghost Emperor Yama was doing to him caused the people of the Demi-Immortal Institute to literally tremble in fear . A Great Sage was being killed right in front of their eyes .

Hardly any time had passed since Great Sage Quake-Cloud arrived in the Demi-Immortal Institute, at which time he had been treated with the utmost dignity and respect . But now, he was being burned alive .

Eventually the screams died away, and Great Sage Quake-Cloud’s soul faded away .

The only thing that remained was a cloud of motes in Ghost Emperor Yama’s hand . They looked almost like jade, and would feel completely pure and holy to anyone who touched them .

They were the ultimate manifestation of Great Sage Quake-Cloud’s cultivation base, his sage motes .

Ghost Emperor Yama had killed a first step Great Sage as easily as if he had been eating breakfast . As of this moment, he truly seemed like a consummate devil king .

“Get over here, Yang Qi!” he said .

Yang Qi had been watching from the sidelines, observing the fight between these two Great Sages .

Upon being beckoned at by Ghost Emperor Yama, he nodded, flew over, and said, “Congratulations on your revenge, Ghost Emperor Yama . The death of a Great Sage will surely be a heavy loss for the Quake-Dawn Cathedral . ”

“Like hell it will,” Ghost Emperor Yama replied . “He was only a first step Great Sage . His death will sting for them, but he's not crucially important . Listen, punk . These sage motes are the full manifestation of his cultivation base . Give me the cultivation technique for the Infernal Deity Spear, and you can have them, and achieve meteoric progress!”
