Chapter 1496: Meng Zhentians Hidden Card (1/2)

Li Qiye was amused by the prince’s choice of words: “I know. Emperor a.s.sailants, right? If I remember correctly, from the generation of the abyss’ founding members, one of the old men is still alive. When did he crawl out of the ground?”

Existences of the Emperor a.s.sailant level were a heavy topic. After emperors shoulder the Heaven’s Will, they would become unbeatable. Not just anyone was qualified to oppose them in a direct confrontation or be able to withstand their power infused with the Heaven’s Will.

Even if Emperor a.s.sailants can’t defeat an emperor or have a real contentious fight, they could still withstand the heaven-fused attacks from an emperor.

This was the proof of their might. Ordinary G.o.dkings would tremble in fear before an emperor. Once the Heaven’s Will is activated, they would be suppressed right away, let alone put up a fight.

Anyone would turn solemn when talking about this topic, but not Li Qiye. It seemed as if in his eyes, Emperor a.s.sailants were fleeting clouds and puffs of smoke in the sky — not worth mentioning.

In fact, the experts present were stirred after hearing this. The abyss’ origin was ancient. There were many legends about their founder as well.

One rumor stated that this founder was the progenitor of the Charming Spirit Race, but many charming spirits denied this claim. They believed that the progenitor was part of an ancient clan of the charming spirits and definitely not the progenitor.

In any case, the founding generation was full of mysteries and myths. They resembled the ancient G.o.ds, bearing the start of an entire race. This filled everyone who talked about them with respect.

Thus, Li Qiye’s revelation of the last surviving member from that generation made everyone ponder the implications. Those who understood the significance were creeped out.

This was a true undying that had experienced numerous paradigms, a completely dreadful character.

“Li Qiye, you are knowledgeable indeed. If you know this, you should also understand the implications.” The prince replied: “Our ancestor is not the only existence of this level in Heaven Spirit. Keep in mind, as long as we ask for it, at least three or four Emperor a.s.sailants will stand on our side.”

The prince spoke with indisputable confidence. It was clear that he had enough cards on the table to make such a statement.

People shuddered after hearing this. One a.s.sailant was already frightening enough. If three or four more came into being, just how terrifying would it be? It would be more than enough to flip over the world. If they were to become Zhentian’s dao protectors, maybe he would have a chance to grasp the Heaven’s Will.

“This is called having a strong foundation.” Someone trembled a little and stated: “The battle for the Heaven’s Will isn’t only about the strength of an individual, it also considers backgrounds and resources. If three a.s.sailants come out on Zhentian’s side, it would be very unfavorable for Li Qiye.”

People held their breaths after hearing this. Any person or sect would be afraid after hearing the prince’s words. This was their real strength.

Li Qiye’s advantages were obvious. In terms of personal strength, Zhentian didn’t have a sliver of a chance.

However, the situation would be completely reversed if he had the support of these existences.

Everyone knew that due to Li Qiye’s clear superiority, many imperial lineages would agree to stand by his side. However, these sects would have to think twice if the prince’s a.s.sertion was true.

Li Qiye suddenly became the underdog. He might be strong, but he wouldn’t necessarily be able to stop an Emperor a.s.sailant, let alone three or four more!
