Chapter 1279: Seavinity Banner (1/2)

Chapter 1279: Seavinity Banner

This marine region was drowned in a state of quietude. No one dared to breathe loudly as they watched the confrontation between Li Qiye and Shangguan Feiyan play out.

“Summon!” Feiyan took out a banner and held the pole with one hand. An oceanic atmosphere a.s.saulted the spectators; it was as if this flag was gestating a G.o.d.

The sea demons here quivered before this banner. They felt an urge to kneel and wors.h.i.+p due to an instinctive sense of respect that came from nowhere.

“The Seavinity Banner, a weapon left behind by a sea G.o.d from the Roaring Conch!” Someone immediately shouted after seeing the banner. [1. Exact raw is Sea G.o.d’s Banner. Sea G.o.d is a term that is used too much already. For example, in that sentence, I would be repeating sea G.o.d twice. The other problem is that Sea G.o.d’s Banner sounds like a descriptor and not an actual artifact. What if another sea G.o.d has a banner? Thus, this made me want to use Divinity Banner or any other adjective similar to divine/hallowed, but this would leave the sea part out. Adding sea to it makes the t.i.tle too long, and I’ve been hesitant towards using long t.i.tles for readability recently. Seavinity includes both; it is a made-up word, but for a proper name, this shouldn’t be an issue, especially after readers see this footnote and understand my thought process.]

It instilled fear and awe into the spectators. This was the flag of a supreme sea demon; it represented their invincibility and glory.

Even though the Trident was the most powerful weapon during the reign of all sea G.o.ds, they had no way of retaining it. When they died, the Trident would fly away and reappear when it was time to choose a successor in the next generation.

Because of this, no one viewed the Trident as an inheritable weapon. Each sea G.o.d would create their own powerful artifacts and weapons, but none of them could compare to the Trident. However, these artifacts truly belonged to them and were able to be pa.s.sed down to their descendants.

The banner in Feiyan’s hand was a weapon created by a Roaring Conch Sea G.o.d.

“She actually has a sea G.o.d’s weapon.” Both the young and old of the sea demon race became quite envious.

Even though the Roaring Conch had two sea G.o.ds, it also had millions of disciples. It was quite a glory to inherit a sea G.o.d’s weapon. This was enough to show just how much the sect valued her.

Feiyan shouted with the banner in her hand: “Li, you must stay true to your word, don’t change your mind in front of the world.”

She was afraid that he would change his mind after seeing this weapon and wouldn’t want to fight her alone! After previously losing to him in just one move, she understood that her strength was no match for his. In her mind, he was at least a True Monarch or a Bestowed Monarch.

Thus, she placed all of her hopes for revenge on this weapon! Because she was afraid of him reneging on the deal, she loudly shouted so that everyone could hear her. If Li Qiye were to change his mind today, his reputation would be destroyed.

“You are too funny. Let alone make me change my mind, you actually think that you can do something to me with this sea G.o.d’s banner? This is such a blatant underestimation.” He shook his head and laughed: “Very well, since this banner is giving you so much faith in your revenge, I’ll shatter it.”

With that, a saber hymn resonated through the sky. With a saber in his hand, he coldly stared at her.

An imperial aura engulfed the region with its coming. With the Benevolent Saber in his hand, an immortal aura surfaced around his hand. The weapon seemed to become one with him.

This blade was the true fate weapon of Immortal Emperor Min Ren. Its creation required painstaking efforts from both the emperor and Li Qiye.

Today, his ability to wield the blade was no less than if the emperor was using it himself. The only thing missing was the Heaven’s Will. If Li Qiye had the Heaven’s Will, he would be able to exert the same power from this blade as the emperor of past.

“An Immortal Emperor True Treasure!” Hailing from the Roaring Conch, Feiyan knew her stuff. Her face paled as she stumbled backward.

At this moment, her pupils contracted, revealing both fear and despair! Even though she had a sea G.o.d’s banner, the blade in Li Qiye’s hand was a true treasure!

With respect to comparing the weapons of sea G.o.ds and Immortal Emperors, the Trident was the first part of the equation. True treasures were no match for its power — this was the reason why sea G.o.ds could fight against Immortal Emperors!

However, without the Trident, sea G.o.ds were only Emperor a.s.sailants at best; they couldn’t truly fight against a real emperor. Because of this, the a.r.s.enals they personally create were no match for imperial weapons, let alone a True Treasure.

Despair reared its ugly head again in Shangguan Feiyan. It was just like Li Qiye had said, her hope had been shattered.
