Chapter 1781: Reneging (1/2)

“Does this brat know anything about dao fetus control?” Someone muttered after seeing Li Qiye’s swift selection of a White Adornment fetus.

Some wondered if he knew anything about the contest at all. Even a fool wouldn’t pick a white grade.

The prince celebrated mentally after seeing his opponent’s pick. ‘This is you courting death, no one will be able to stop it.’

He then picked a Heaven Bestowment fetus.

Both were postnatal fetuses but the prince’s selection was countless times stronger than Li Qiye’s.

“Start.” An expert from the workshop acted as the judge after the two returned to the betting table.

“Buzz!” The Heaven Bestowment fetus in the prince’s hand lit up with rays of light that could pierce through the flesh.

He didn’t use any chaos or primordial energy but as a successor who had learned imperial laws since youth, his willpower could be more than ten thousand times greater than a mortal.

“Pluff!” Under the control of the prince, this sword fetus shot towards Li Qiye with an unstoppable sharpness. Even a regular cultivator like Shen Xiaoshan wouldn’t be able to stop it.

Li Qiye didn’t bother looking forward; his will ordered the White Adornment fetus to rush up.

Everyone gasped after seeing this risky course of action. A white-grade fetus controlled by a mortal simply couldn’t stand up to the prince’s own!

“Boom!” A dao fetus shattered into many s.h.i.+mmering pieces accompanied by pleasant ringings.

The crowd was completely frozen by the unexpected scene. The thing shattered was not Li Qiye’s White Adornment fetus but rather the prince’s Heaven Bestowment fetus. Li Qiye’s fetus was completely intact while the prince’s own fell into shambles.

It didn’t mean that Li Qiye’s fetus was stronger, only his will. This was an incalculable disparity. Li Qiye truly had an immovable dao heart.

“No way!” The prince cried out and took several steps back, slack-jawed. He couldn’t accept this result at all.

Even a fool could see his inevitable victory earlier but the opposite had happened. The crowd shared the same astoundment as him. All eyes were agape.

An imperial successor had lost to a mortal. Who would actually believe this?

“You have lost again.” Li Qiye calmly said: “Leave your life behind now.”

“No, impossible, how can a mortal have such a powerful will?!” The dismayed prince screamed.

“Who told you that?” Li Qiye smiled and said: “A firm dao heart has nothing to do with cultivation.”

The experts here were surprised by this comment because this was an unprecedented case of a mortal possessing such an unyielding dao heart. They have only viewed mortals as ants before.

“Something foul is going on! Someone must be helping him in the shadow, a mortal can’t compare to me!” The paled prince bellowed.

The crowd exchanged glances. It was indeed unbelievable that a mortal could best the prince in this regard.

“Sigh, too many fools in this generation.” Li Qiye gently shook his head.
