Chapter 710: Dark Mantis God-Monarch (1/2)

Chapter 710: Dark Mantis G.o.d-Monarch

One man and one mantis stood there as rows of bodies formed on the ground and blood slowly flowed downward, dying the entire land red before the blood diffused into the soil.

After a long time, a gentle breeze blew by and the stench of blood a.s.saulted everyone present, causing them to feel nauseous. However, the thing that made them feel even more sick was not this sanguine stench.

It was the absolutely horrifying scene before them. Heavenly Kings and hundreds of experts were killed in the blink of an eye. This scene of terror caused the stomachs of people to churn as if they wanted to puke. A primal fear emerged from the depths of their hearts; no one knew whether it was due to being scared of Li Qiye or the skeletal mantis ahead, or both.

Perhaps, the most horrendous of all was their lack of knowledge of the event. From beginning to end, no one knew what had actually happened or the relations.h.i.+p between the skeletal mantis and Li Qiye. They were not privy to the origin of the mantis or why Li Qiye could control it.

For a mantis to behead Heavenly Kings like chopping sweet potatoes, just how powerful and terrifying was this thing?

Of course, others didn’t know that Li Qiye’s stomp earlier was to utilize the death energy from the Death Scripture. Moreover, he also activated the Death Chapter, one of the four great techniques.

Not long ago when Li Qiye and Jian Wushuang fought, Li Qiye used her to injure him and acc.u.mulate a great amount of death energy! The moment this energy reached a certain level, it would use a supreme law inside the scripture to open the prologue of the Death Chapter!

The extremely powerful Death Chapter, once activated, could summon any dead creatures close to Li Qiye! No matter how long they had been dead for or what they might be, cultivators, withered branches, evil existences… as long as they were things that had once lived, they could be summoned by the Death Chapter!

When the Death Chapter becomes even more powerful, its range of summoning would be even more vast. As long as the user was capable, the chapter could even summon dead creatures from all over the Stone Medicine World. Of course, this type of summoning was extremely daunting. The chapter had to reach the ultimate stage before obtaining such power.

Of course, the power of these summoned undead reflected their own former strength and not just the power of the Death Chapter.

If these undead existences were very powerful when they were alive, then after being summoned, they would still be unimaginably formidable. Of course, in order to utilize their ultimate peak strength, the Death Chapter had to be at a high level.

“The Dark Mantis G.o.d-Monarch!” Tie Yi, who had always been hiding in the back, immediately changed his expression after seeing this mantis. He frantically burrowed down into the ground.

“Dark Mantis G.o.d-Monarch” was a t.i.tle not often heard, but disciples of Allpine Mountain had definitely heard this t.i.tle before.

“Dark Mantis G.o.d-Monarch!” Before anyone knew it, the leader of Allpine Mountain, the Maple King, had appeared on top of a peak. He was astounded to see this skeletal mantis and took a deep breath before stuttering: “Wasn’t this my ancestor’s archnemesis back then? A million years ago, the ancestor slew it and buried it under Allpine Mountain!”

Originally, before the Allpine Treefather had reached the top, there had been a demonic creature who coveted the Allpine Grand Vein and wanted to be its ruler. This was an extremely heaven-defying demon mantis with the t.i.tle of G.o.d-Monarch.

During that era, although the treefather had yet to reach his peak, countless lineages in the Stone Medicine World already dreaded him.

When the Dark Mantis G.o.d-Monarch invaded Allpine Mountain, the treefather rushed to meet him, and a great battle ensued. Although no one in the current generation saw this battle, the disciples of the mountain had heard tales about it. This was a fight that caused the earth to split and the celestials to lose their brilliance. After three days and three nights, the Allpine Treefather paid a heavy price to finally kill the G.o.d-Monarch.

Afterward, the treefather buried the G.o.d-Monarch’s corpse under Allpine Mountain without leaving behind any indication of where it was. Even the disciples here didn’t know where the monarch’s corpse was located.

But now, the skeleton of the monarch had rushed out, causing the Maple King to be aghast and frightened with a pale countenance.

“Onnnngggg—” At this time, the Maple King blew a horn, resounding across the entire mountain.

“What’s going on?” The horn echoed across the entire area, causing many guests to become alarmed. Those who were interested came out for a look.

Rumbles, among various other sounds, came in an instant like roaring torrents. Countless experts instantly appeared on Li Qiye’s peak, including Tree Demon Monarchs, flood dragons from the sky, enormous Golem Kings, and ferocious Sacred Tigers…
