Chapter 1530: The Tree That Shoulders The Heaven (1/2)
“Brother Bamboo, don’t worry, he’s only bluffing. He used all of his methods just now and still failed to break the protection from the three ancestral trees. I think he has given up.” Dualchild comforted the worrying fella.
Creek Bamboo stared at the three ancestral marks floating above. He couldn’t anything but sigh. There was no other way for him since it was a battle to the death. The only thing he could do was to pray for the ancestral trees to suppress Li Qiye if there was a chance. Otherwise, the threat would always loom and he’ll come back eventually.
In fact, Shen Mengtian and Dualchild had a heavy heart as well. Li Qiye’s power far exceeded their imagination. In the beginning, they thought that they could kill him by working together. Who would have thought that he would be pursuing them like dogs?
After fleeing back to the ancestral terra, they wanted to see the ancestral trees killing Li Qiye. Alas, the result frightened them as well. Even these trees couldn’t do anything to him.
Despite putting on a relaxed expression as if they have won the battle today, they were feeling very uncomfortable. They could live for now but the feud had been made. Given Li Qiye’s current unstoppable momentum, he would surely become emperor in the future.
Once he ascended to the throne, he would make his way back here. At that point, their Dream Empyrean and Spirit Abyss could only wait for him to destroy them.
They felt very regretful at this moment for being overconfident in the beginning. They wanted to do everything possible to capture Li Qiye for the Reincarnation Nine-Leaves and the method to cultivate thirteen palaces. This was even an attempt to kill a future Immortal Emperor.
Nevertheless, they underestimated his strength. With one misstep, they had lost everything.
There was no medicine to cure regrets in this world. This feeling right now couldn’t change the current situation.
A serenity entered the world after Li Qiye left. Even though he failed to destroy the terra, this battle had still shocked everyone in Heaven Spirit. Even three ancestral trees working together had to exchange their lifespan to stop Li Qiye. What a frightening result.
Moreover, he was completely untouched and left so easily. Just think about it? Who could be his match now given his current power?
“It looks like he was only warming up and messing around prior to this. He never used his full power or resorted to all of his methods before.” Experts who had seen him fight against Meng Zhentian commented softly.
This was the moment when previous spectators realized that from beginning to end, Li Qiye never considered someone like Meng Zhentian as his match. It was all a game to him. Fighting and killing Zhentian was only a warm-up.
They understood that if Li Qiye treated him as an opponent from the start, the moment he went all out, Zhentian wouldn’t even have the chance to retaliate. He would be decapitated just like Dried Tree Divine Ancestor with just one move!
“Did Li Qiye give up?” An expert standing before a mirror wondered.
“No, this is only the beginning. The terra shall end after today.” His fellow disciple standing next to him answer with a serious tone.
“Junior Brother, why do you say so?” The experts didn’t understand: “I don’t think Li Qiye can take down three ancestral trees.”
“That’s because you don’t know him.” The person replied: “I have been observing him for a long time ever since the ma.s.sacre at the Peac.o.c.k Land then the Dongting Lake and Regal Valley… All along, he has been staying true to his words. If he says he’s going to murder your family, no one will be able to stop him. He’s not the type to attempt anything uncertain so the terra is done for!”
The Senior Brother was stricken with fear after hearing this. Being an enemy with Li Qiye was definitely anyone’s nightmare. Death was inevitable regardless of how powerful they might be.
Everyone held their breath waiting for Li Qiye to take action. However, time pa.s.sed by and there was no sign of him. Most thought that he has given up.
In fact, even the disciples from the terra became relieved. Their ancestral trees have finally stopped Li Qiye so they cheered. The storm has been weathered.
“Playtime’s over.” Alas, their celebration was quickly interrupted by Li Qiye’s voice echoing across Heaven Spirit.
