Chapter 2187: Ba Shang (1/2)

The destruction of the Peng only took a brief moment. Li Qiye sat on his throne the entire time without even needing to stand up. Just a wave of his hand alone was enough to instill both destruction and dread.

The seven ancestors felt their legs quivering; their pale expression said it all.

He didn’t need to exert a dominating pressure or a ma.s.sive amount of true energy. Just his leisure att.i.tude on the throne let the rest of the world know how supreme he was.

People exchanged glances. Though lips didn’t move, they began to believe that he was a reborn ancestor. Only a being like that would be powerful to this level.

“Will you all commit suicide or must I do it myself?” Li Qiye glanced at the seven G.o.ds and leisurely said.

The seven G.o.ds were naturally startled and didn’t know what to do. Grand True G.o.ds like them were helpless, realizing they couldn’t replicate the task of instantly killing the Peng even if they all worked together. Of course, it was possible but not with such ease.

“Don’t, don’t push it!” Mighty Mountain roared furiously.

“I’m pus.h.i.+ng it. Told you the ending for those who oppose me already.” Li Qiye smiled.

“What kind of reborn ancestor are you? You should be ruling with magnanimity!” A cold snort came about.

At this moment, a person emerged right next to Mighty Mountain. No one saw how he got there as if he only needed from one step to travel from horizon to this place.

It was an old man dressed in a red robe with yellow embroidery of a fierce and n.o.ble dragon raising its claws.

He looked stately, capable of shouldering the heaven. This was a lord no matter where he went.

“Ancestor!” The four G.o.ds from Upper Faction performed a grand ceremony while the three from Sacred Inst.i.tution bowed their head.

The youth here didn’t know who he was but judging by the G.o.ds’ respectful att.i.tude, the old man certainly had a big background.

“Ba Shang!” Even Fierceblade became serious after seeing him.

“Ba Shang!” The elders and ancestors from the clan were thunderstruck after hearing this name.

“That’s the legendary number one in Upper Faction.” One elder took a deep breath: “But shouldn’t he be dead a long time ago, why is he still around?”

This name was too resounding for those of the previous generation. When Ba Shang was still around, he established Upper Faction’s role in the system. Back then, this power actually reigned for a bit.

They eventually lost this authority after rumors of his death.

“So you have been in isolated cultivation.” Fierceblade was careful when looking at this guy.

The guy was already a first-level True G.o.d back then so he certainly would be much stronger after so many years.

“It’s been a while.” Ba Shang spoke: “I met a bottleneck during the first level and now, I’ve finally returned after reaching the third level, not expecting to see something like this.”

The crowd was astonished at this revelation. Some even screamed: “A third-level True G.o.d!”

If this was the case, he might be the strongest True G.o.d in the system, its next number one.

For many cultivators, reaching grand True G.o.d was the end of their journey.

There were two paths forward, to either eventually become an Ascender or an emperor. However, the latter path was much harder compared to the former.
