Chapter 1724: Three Grand Maelstroms (1/2)

Li Qiye gently sighed while looking at the sky filled with b.l.o.o.d.y mists. He said flatly: “The path towards Immortal Emperor has always been merciless, paved with skeletons. An emperor requires their adversaries’ bones to pave the way. I was merciful yet why must all of you force me to ascend this way?”

Despite the dull tone from him, it still silenced the experts in the nine worlds. Everyone was aware of the cruel compet.i.tion towards the throne. However, without having a personal experience, people didn’t hold it in mind.

But when they saw Li Qiye destroying one hundred thousand men with just one fist, a realization of its cruel nature began. The popular description was not empty words but reality.

Thus, some people shuddered in fear. They swore to never let their descendants walk on the imperial path. One emperor, countless bones.

No one would blame him for being merciless. If he didn’t kill them, they would still try to kill him. It was that simple and brutal.

Though Li Qiye wanted to leave some talents and sparks to the nine worlds, the alliance kept on challenging him. Thus, he had no reason to be merciful. It was not in his nature to do so.

Li Qiye then stared at the Unidao True G.o.d and his junior at his side and said emotionlessly: “Go back. I shall let you go out of consideration for your father.”

The G.o.d was pale despite possessing an amazing bloodline and power. He quivered and couldn’t restraint the fear inside his heart. He felt so insignificant before the Prime Emperor. Just one finger alone could pulverize him.

His disciple couldn’t stand straight at all. He has considered himself a genius all this time but he didn’t have the courage to look at the emperor. If it wasn’t for the true G.o.d supporting him, he would be paralyzed on the ground right now.

“Thank you for showing mercy, Your Highness.” The frightened true G.o.d prostrated towards Li Qiye before taking his disciple away.

His action, without a doubt, meant that he had accepted Li Qiye’s position and t.i.tle!

“Your Highness!” The spectators got on the ground and shouted in unison. Their cries echoed all over Mortal Emperor and triggered more kneeling and praise.

In this split second, Li Qiye’s status has been confirmed even before his official ascension and shouldering of the Heaven’s Will!

This was an unprecedented miracle. No one had been accepted so readily by all experts before the official coronation.

There was no need for the Heaven’s Will. In the eyes of the people here, the Prime Emperor had proven his invincibility!

“Rise.” Li Qiye took in everything around him and said slowly. His quiet voice permeated all corners in the nine worlds. His imperial aura filled each inch of the lands. All cultivators were willing to submit to the Prime Emperor’s authority!

They finally stood up and looked at the emperor with awe and respect.

Li Qiye withdrew his gaze and looked at the Heaven’s Will in the sky. He said: “It’s time to leave.”

With that, his forehead lit up. One could see three golden, silver, and iron strands of light twisting together. The light of the Heaven’s Will was only one step of a long path compared to them.
