Sage Monarch - Chapter 638

Chapter 638: 638

August Patriarch Fire Dragon once again had the upper hand . He had a hundred and forty-nine more talismans than Yang Qi, and a much higher cultivation base, so it was little wonder .

Even more terrifying, as a fire dragon he inherently possessed some of the blood of a primal-chaos elder-snake . That, and the fact that he had the lance of King Infinisnake, made his energy even more dreadful .

There was no doubt about it, Yang Qi was in a deadly struggle .

“Snakelance Bolstering!”

Without any warning, August Patriarch Fire Dragon’s snakelance suddenly crumbled, becoming a stream of quintessence energy that shot into the imperial snakecharms and doubled the power of the primal-chaos elder-snake . It opened its mouth and swallowed up the other eight hundred talismans, as well as Yang Qi .

“Perfect!” August Patriarch Fire Dragon said . “This is my trump card . It cost me a god item, but it’ll be worth it to assimilate you and your vital energy!” He burst out into hearty laughter, yet didn’t take time for celebration . Dropping down cross-legged, he suddenly exhaled a stream of fire . “You have some of King Immortal-Slayer’s legacy medallions? Hand them over! Give them to me, and I’ll make your end less painful . Otherwise, you’ll experience the terror of being roasted alive by thousands of different types of true flame!”

“Oh really?” a voice said . Suddenly, golden light appeared within the depths of the primal-chaos elder-snake . It started out as a tiny speck, but quickly spread out, causing the huge snake to twist and writhe with pain as it shone with a golden color .

“What’s going on?” August Patriarch Fire Dragon said, clearly shocked . “What’s happening?”

Yang Qi burst out laughing . “I wanted you to swallow me . That made it much easier for me to use my God Legion Seal to strike at you . You completely fell for my trick, August Patriarch Fire Dragon . In the end, you're actually not a match for me . Now give me those talismans!”

WHIZZZ!

The golden imp appeared, and August Patriarch Fire Dragon’s kingdom of fire was defeated again and again as the golden light spread .

RUMBLE!

Eventually, the primal-chaos elder-snake exploded and the golden imp reached out to grab the one thousand, eight hundred and fifty-one talismans before they could fly away .

POP!

Yang Qi exhaled some true energy and the talismans began wriggling as golden light expunged the fire dragon branding mark from the thousand that had them .

Bloodcurdling screams rang out as the branding marks were erased, and August Patriarch Fire Dragon himself trembled as he was overwhelmed with the pain of having his vital energy damaged .

“No! How could this be happening? Who is that golden imp? And how could you possibly have a God Legion Seal?” August Patriarch Fire Dragon was one of the top leaders of an immortal world, with access to all sorts of ancient legends . How could he possibly not know what the God Legion Seal was?

For one thing, it was a blessing from the ancient legion of gods . It wasn’t something that could be searched for and found, thus it was a complete shock to find one here with Yang Qi .

August Patriarch Fire Dragon wanted to flee, but had been thoroughly locked down by the power of the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart . Even as he struggled, the monarch power in the area surged together and a projection of King Immortal-Slayer appeared behind August Patriarch Fire Dragon .

“Stop struggling, August Patriarch Fire Dragon,” Yang Qi said, his voice booming . “I’ve summoned the soul of King Immortal-Slayer and he’s standing right behind you . ”

August Patriarch Fire Dragon could sense the profoundly sinister aura behind him, yet when he turned around, he didn't see anything . The truth was that no matter which way he looked, King Immortal-Slayer would remain behind his field of vision .

But he could still sense him, and that was a terrifying thing .

He spun in place, then spun again, and again, almost like a top . But it was all to no avail .

‘Finally,’ Yang Qi thought . ‘Eighteen hundred and fifty-one talismans . That’s more than half!’

The swirling, primal-chaos elder-snake that he could now control was powerful enough that it could cause sprawling areas within the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart to turn into a true void of primal-chaos .

As the snake swirled around him, he pulsed with godpower and magical laws, deathless godpower filling every part of him .

“And now, I’ll call upon all the unclaimed talismans in the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart! Come to me!” His primal-chaos elder-snake roared, and from within the depths of the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, responding howls rang out and more primal-chaos elder-snakes appeared .

They were small, as each of them corresponded to a single talisman . Normally speaking, searching for them one by one in the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart would have been an impossibility . But now Yang Qi could simply summon them to him .

Furthermore, he would be able to sense any talismans that were currently held by another person .

One . Two . Three… .

Eventually, one hundred and forty-nine more talismans flew to join the enormous primal-chaos elder-snake . Yang Qi now had a total of two thousand of the talismans, fully two thirds of the total three thousand .

With this many talismans, he could easily crush an immortal world, and was fully as strong as a Dao-Demolisher with nine lineaments . Of course, when he finally reached the Godmyth level, the tribulation he would incite would defy imagination . In fact, it would surpass anything that any member of the legion of gods had faced in the past . Therefore, his current collection of talismans wouldn’t be enough to devour it .

Perhaps if he got all three thousand, he could .

After all, Yang Qi wasn't just a Fateless One now . He also had the constitution of a Reincarnated One and a Future One . He was a combination of three unique constitutions .

With the two thousand talismans in hand, Yang Qi unleashed devastating power onto August Patriarch Fire Dragon .

August Patriarch Fire Dragon howled in rage . He knew that he was done for, but wasn’t ready to resign himself to his fate . As a Godmyth patriarch, how could he possibly allow a mere fourth stage immortal general to defeat him?

“You think you can kill me? I’m a Godmyth! I'm eternally indestructible! I'm very nearly deathless! How could a brat like you defeat me?” Throwing his hands out, he shouted, “Myriad-Dragons Holy-Pilgrimage Faith-Master God-Dao!”

RUMBLE!

Ten thousand true dragons erupted from within him and converged on his palm as he prepared to fight to the death .

Yang Qi walked forward, and as he called on the Hand of the One God, a brilliant light spread out in all directions, completely overwhelming the Myriad-Dragons Holy-Pilgrimage Faith-Master God-Dao!

“Dragon Returns to the Sea! Eight Tribes Godfist!”

August Patriarch Fire Dragon quickly transformed into a four-headed, eight-armed entity, with each head being that of a divine dragon . Looking like he was going crazy, he began raining fist strikes down on Yang Qi, drawing on all of his vital energy .

“Divine Dragon Emerges from Water!

“Eight Dragons Fly to Heaven!

“Hornless Dragon Enters its Cave!

“Battle Dragon Retires in Peace!

“Grand Dragon Turns its Head!

“Vile Dragon Devours a God!”

In the time it takes a spark to fly off a piece of flint, a host of moves were unleashed, transforming the entire area into a reflection of the Eight Tribes Heaven and causing an enormous pagoda to appear above him .

This was an animadestiny pagoda created from his dao fruit, and was a secret incantation from that world of dragons . It was the most holy of pagodas from the Myriad-Dragons Holy-Pilgrimage Faith-Master God-Dao, the Eight Tribes Stūpa! As of this moment, the true power of the Godmyth level was on display . [1]

Yang Qi’s true energy was blasted away by the technique, yet he still had the advantage .

“You're really putting up a hard fight . Sadly, it's useless . Prepare to die!” He threw his hands out and sagelight erupted, filled with projections of the legion of gods, all of whom were chanting curses . It was the Sagely Sacrifice, the next energy art transformation of the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth .

Supposedly, when the Sagely Sacrifice was cultivated to completion, it would invoke projections of the legion of gods, who would gather sacrifices for the Sovereign Lord .

“Let the glory of the Lord be preached throughout the world… . ”

“The blessings of the Lord will shower upon all living beings… . ” 

As the projections chanted, the power of the Sagely Sacrifice slammed into August Patriarch Fire Dragon .

Yang Qi felt his true energy surging out of him, evaporating almost like steam . Clearly, the Sagely Sacrifice required a huge expenditure of true energy .

“Agggghhh!”

August Patriarch Fire Dragon felt himself being crushed and devastated by the Sagely Sacrifice . Not even he, a Godmyth, could stand up to it .
