Sage Monarch - Chapter 409

Chapter 409: 409

Compared to the rest of the crumbling and disorderly Yore-Wilds planetary system, the Sage Monarch Continent was actually quite eye-catching . It was much larger than the average location, almost like a planet . And although it wasn't a full planet yet, in many ways, it actually surpassed most other planets . The Quake-Dawn Continent wasn’t too far away, but seemed a bit lackluster in comparison .

In the Proto-Wilds, Waste-Wilds, and Brute-Wilds, a location like this wouldn’t be particularly noticeable . But in the devastated Yore-Wilds planetary system, it was like a pearl sitting in the dust .

The people on the bridge of the Northstar Fleet flagship were all quite surprised .  

“Not a bad planet . Plentiful spirit energy, as well as a lot of life force . There’s actually heaven motes there . And look at the sage motes . The remains of Great Sages abound in the lands there . ”

“I can’t believe a place like this actually exists in the rubble of the Yore-Wilds!”

“Incredible . Truly incredible! Well, we have to take it . There are definitely a lot of cultivation resources to be had, and the people there will fetch a great price back home . Captives with the blood of the Yore-Wilds are the perfect subjects to transform into death knights . ”

“Hold on,” one of the young men said, his voice quivering with astonishment . “It’s actually not a planet . It’s only a continent!”

“Impossible! How could it have so much energy, but not be a planet? You almost never see this situation!”

“No, he's right . It’s not a planet yet . It’s in a state of preheaven primal-chaos, with plenty of potential for growth . Man, we really got lucky, didn’t we? If one of us ninth step Great Sages fused with that place’s essence and transformed it into a planet, we would be able to reach the Demi-Immortal level!”

“We have to conquer that continent!”

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of experts within the fleet were whipped into a state of deep excitement . They had only just entered the Yore-Wilds planetary system and had already found an incredible treasure .

“There’s more to that continent than meets the eye…” said the Demi-Immortal . “You can sense the auras of many fallen Great Sages there, almost as if the place were built on their corpses . How could someone have created a continent in that way? What happened here? Well, we came here to conquer and pillage, so the people there are destined to be our slaves . Send down orders to start the invasion . ”

“Yes sir!”

Countless powerful auras sprang up as the Great Sages prepared for war .

Meanwhile, not very far away from the Sage Monarch Continent in the Quake-Dawn Continent, numerous pairs of eyes were locked onto the fleet from the Northstar Clan .

Prominent in the group was none other than the Holy Daughter of the Quake-Dawn Cathedral . She was joined by the Ninja God, Winter God, Oracle God, and War God . Also present was the founder and leader of the entire Quake-Dawn Cathedral itself, the enigmatic Lord Quake-Dawn, although he was hidden in something that resembled a bottle gourd .

Surprisingly, the main rival of the Quake-Dawn Cathedral was present, the Wilds God from the Grand-Wilds Mansion .

After watching the Northstar Fleet fly out into the open, the Wilds God snorted coldly . “So they crossed the Dark True Void to our ruined Yore-Wilds planetary system, and now they’ll take out the Sage Monarch Continent . Well, Yang Qi can only blame his own impulsiveness . I don’t know how he did it, but he somehow managed to transform that continent into a holy land of cultivation . ”

Looking like a picture of vicious ferocity and venomous murder, the Ninja God said, “You're right, Wilds God . This is a case of joining forces to fight a common enemy . In the Hanging Mountain’s training competition, our best and brightest disciples were both killed by Yang Qi, and now we will use others as a weapon to kill both him and the Holy Mother of the Hanging Mountain . ”

“Very well,” Lord Quake-Dawn said from within the void . “For us, this is a case of asking a tiger for its skin . Win or lose, it all ends here . The Northstar Fleet came here to plunder and conquer . Although we told them we would offer help, I'm absolutely certain that they’ll go back on their word later . After they take the Sage Monarch Continent, they’ll come for the Quake-Dawn Continent . Ladies and gentlemen, I know that all of you are wise and experienced . You know that everyone born in the Yore-Wilds planetary system has special blood that the people from the Megaplexus Heaven will pay godly-grade spirit stones to get . ”

Lord Quake-Dawn controlled all of the three thousand daoist sects and hundred thousand smaller factions of the Quake-Dawn Continent, and he had the reputation of being a terrifying individual . In fact, many people from the Hanging Mountain feared him . Were it not for him, there were many factions among the Demonfolk who would have long since invaded and occupied the Quake-Dawn Continent . Instead, they only did business with them .

“What do we do now, Lord Quake-Dawn?” the War God asked . He was a tall, hulking man, clad in armor, with an enormous war hammer in his hand . That hammer was the size of a small mountain, and could easily crush the starry sky into dust . He was also a ninth step Epic Saga Sage, just on the verge of becoming a Demi-Immortal .

The Quake-Dawn Cathedral had four main halls . The Hall of Ninjas, the Hall of Oracles, the Hall of Winter, and the Hall of Warriors .

The hall masters were all ninth step Great Sages . However, the Holy Daughter was a Demi-Immortal, as was Lord Quake-Dawn .

“The time has come to get the tiger and the wolf to kill each other,” Lord Quake-Dawn said, a smile audible in his words . “Yang Qi created the Sage Monarch Continent and his mother, the Hanging Mountain’s Holy Mother, has long since come to view the place as her son’s temple . With the Northstar Fleet heading to the Sage Monarch Continent, it's a foregone conclusion that she’ll step in to defend it . And when the fighting breaks out… who knows how it will end . ”

“When two tigers fight, at least one will get injured!

“When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!

“It’s the perfect plan . The Holy Mother currently reigns supreme in the Hanging Mountain . Her cultivation base has continued to rise through the years, to the point where she forced even August Patriarch Mammoth Heaven to bow his head . Now that the Northstar Clan has invaded, she’ll definitely make a move . ” It really seemed as if he had everything planned out perfectly . Sounding profoundly sinister, he continued, “Ladies and gentlemen, you are the best of the best from the Quake-Dawn Cathedral . Wilds God from the Grand-Wilds Mansion, you are here to provide even further support . And the three thousand daoist sects and the hundred thousand smaller factions will provide endless supplies of Great Sages .  

“The time has come to reveal the truth . I have long since gained control of the essence of the Quake-Dawn Continent, and am prepared to enact Operation Azure Heavens . When the critical moment arrives, I’ll unleash my trump card, and the Holy Mother, the August Patriarch, and the Northstar Fleet will all be wiped out! And I will reach an untold level of cultivation power . ”

By the time he reached the end of his monologue, Lord Quake-Dawn’s voice trembled, as if with madness .

“What? Lord Quake-Dawn, is that really your plan?” Everyone present was completely taken aback .

He snorted coldly in response . “Operation Azure Heavens was originally intended for the Crown Prince . Sadly, he perished and lost King Immortal-Slayer’s medallion to Yang Qi . Unfortunately, I was in seclusion when that most unexpected event occurred . It was only by killing the Crown Prince that Yang Qi grew so powerful . Soon I will capture that mother of his and force Yang Qi to return King Immortal-Slayer’s medallion . I've planned everything out to the last detail, to the extent of luring the Northstar Fleet out here . Soon, all of you will see that Lord Quake-Dawn controls everything!”

Even as he spoke, an enormous spell formation appeared in the depths of the Quake-Dawn Cathedral . “Come . All of you enter the spell formation and draw on your true energy . Stick with me and I guarantee that all of you will be Demi-Immortals soon . ”

Operation Azure Heavens had once again appeared in the world .

The Crown Prince had used it to reach the Great Sage level and then, in his insufferable arrogance, had led eighteen Great Sages to kill Yang Qi . Now, Lord Quake-Dawn was using Operation Azure Heavens to try to put an end to the Hanging Mountain, the Sage Monarch Continent, and the Northstar Fleet .

Without manipulating these forces to fight and kill each other, there was no way that Lord Quake-Dawn, who usually remained hidden in the shadows, could ever contend with the Hanging Mountain .

Slowly but surely, he was attempting to get the tiger and the wolf to kill each other .

As Operation Azure Heavens took effect, the entire Quake-Dawn Continent slipped into an aspect of the void and vanished from the Yore-Wilds planetary system .

The development did not go unnoticed by the lookouts in the Northstar Fleet .

“Uncle,” said one of the young ones on the bridge . “The Quake-Dawn Continent just vanished . It seems they noticed the arrival of our fleet and went into hiding . ”

“That doesn’t matter,” the Demi-Immortal replied . “The monk can hide in the temple, but can't flee it . Obviously, they’re worried about getting caught in the crossfire . Unfortunately for them, our Northstar Fleet has come to conquer and plunder and we won’t let anyone off the hook . After we take this continent here, we’ll move on to the Quake-Dawn Continent . And beyond that is the so-called Hanging Mountain . ”

RUMBLE!

The fleet sailed through the void, kicking up spatial tempests and even destroying certain smaller planets and asteroids that got in their way .

Somewhere in the Sage Monarch Continent, the immortal child was currently meditating . Suddenly, his eyes opened and he looked skyward, his vision piercing through the mists and clouds until he caught sight of the fleet above .  

“An enemy invasion!” He leapt to his feet, an expression of shock on his face . “People from a foreign land . They must have come from across the Dark True Void . Ancient ships, ancient weapons, and the auras of multiple Demi-Immortals… . ”

The immortal child was a clone of Yang Qi, and they were essentially the same person . His cultivation base was in the fifth step, making him a Light King Sage . However, he could easily defeat seventh step opponents . Unfortunately, the incoming fleet had multiple Demi-Immortals, which meant that they could easily crush the Sage Monarch Continent into powder!

In fact, not even Yang Qi’s true self would be able to stop them .
