Chapter 1925: Elusive Heavenly Golden Water (1/2)

The old man had a dejected expression. His weather beaten-heart was still stirred because the great number of resources was acc.u.mulated over many generations from many beings. The entire world became a h.e.l.lish incubator…

He eventually looked at Li Qiye and said: “What’s your military potential? How many emperors in your epoch are on your side for this battle?”

“Not even one, just me alone.” Li Qiye chuckled.

The old man didn’t expect this answer. He shook his head in response: “You are very amazing but that’s not enough here since I know the overlord you’re aiming for very well. Just you and me, we’ll only be heading to our death.”

“No, to be exact, you’re the main force on that day, I’ll only be supporting. Victory or defeat will be up to you.” Li Qiye said.

“I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed then. If I could defeat that overlord alone, I would have done so long ago. I can’t beat him, not even with your help.” The old man gently shook his head again.

“Don’t forget, we have two peerless dao hearts between you and me, what power do you think will result from this?” Li Qiye calmly said: “It will certainly bring you back to your peak state then double it! Now, think about it, is this enough to defeat him?”

The old man was indeed moved and carefully thought about this particular scenario.

“Let our dao hearts be the decider since they have cost us half an epoch!” Li Qiye proclaimed.

The old man halted his rumination and said: “With our dao hearts? It’s possible, but I am no longer me in the past. I can’t return to my top state, just exerting fifty percent of my battle potential is the best I can do.”

“I know, that’s why I have prepared a gift for you.” Li Qiye chuckled and took out something from his chest pocket and placed it in front of the old man: “I have spent generations and great effort searching for this.”

This was the Elusive Heavenly Vase, the thing Immortal Emperor Qian Li left behind for him under the willow tree.

The old man took it and opened the cork. There was a golden liquid inside that looked like flowing sand. Moreover, there was something else moving within. It emitted a different golden light than the water in the form of strings.

This thing was taken from the secret grotto protected by Di Wei at the Imperial Border.

“You actually found this thing?” The old man was surprised and looked up at Li Qiye after seeing the item.

“Nothing is impossible for the willing heart.” Li Qiye chuckled: “Of course, it won’t let you heal completely but reverting you to your old peak state should be fine, I’m certain of it.”

“We’ll see when the time comes.” The old man nodded.

“Very well, then we shall initiate the battle to kill the overlord and fulfill your wish in the process.” Li Qiye chuckled.

The two talked for a long time in order to polish the little details of the coming battle without leaving out a single possibility. After all, they were about to face a terrible being. Even a twelve-will emperor might not come out without leaving some limbs behind.

After finalizing the plan, it was time for Li Qiye to leave.

“You know, we must win this.” The old man said.

Li Qiye who was about to leave looked back and said: “If we can’t even win this, no point in talking about the final battle. This will only be an appetizer at best.”

“Indeed.” The old man agreed.

Li Qiye started walking but he turned around and added: “Old man, you do know that you will die.”

“I know, and you know too.” The old man calmly said: “How can we win if I survive?”

“In this battle, victory is not the only thing we want, your death is a must too.” Li Qiye’s words seemed quite cold.
