Chapter 1367: Terra King
Li Qiye’s boneship continued to float through the continent. Along the way, they also felt the overwhelming power. Even the daoist and the two girls were trembling before its might.
“Is Meng Zhentian about to ascend to the throne?” Jianshi’s expression became heavy.
The daoist gently sighed and replied: “Not yet, but he’s not far from that point. When the Heaven’s Will finishes condensing, he will be the one closest to Immortal Emperor. If there is no one else on the same level to contend against him, he is indeed the most promising.”
“Don’t worry, he can want to become an Immortal Emperor all he wants, but who else can take the throne but our Young Noble?” Ruyan looked at Li Qiye and smiled.
Li Qiye’s wounds had yet to heal, but he still burst out in laughter after hearing this: “Little girl, it looks like you are very confident in me.”
“Of course.” She charmingly smiled with an anticipating gaze: “You didn’t even bat an eye against this overwhelming power. It shows that you don’t care at all about Meng Zhentian.”
These words amused him, so he responded: “I, Li Qiye, shall be the only one who reaches the throne. Others will only be the bones that pave my path.”
He uttered it in such an insipid and calm manner, yet it carried an overbearing tone. It made it seem as if he was already an Immortal Emperor, that he was stating a mere fact.
The group was astounded to hear this manner of response. It showed just how great his confidence was! Who would treat an opponent like Meng Zhentian in such a frivolous manner? Only Li Qiye would. It was difficult to imagine someone having this much confidence outside of being insane, but the daoist knew that Li Qiye was definitely not a madman!
It took a long time for the people in the middle of the lake and altar to regain their wits.
A paragon slowly revealed his understanding: “This place is also meant for dao enlightenment.”
There were two places on this continent gushing brilliance. Meng Zhentian had taken one of them, and his process of pondering actually gave off the phenomenon of an Immortal Emperor emerging. Thus, people understood that if they could enter the tower to learn, it would be a great harvest even if they couldn’t replicate Zhentian’s feat.
However, the problem was that no one could enter, not even someone as strong as the Swiftdao God. When all seemed helpless, more strange lights spewed out from the tower and turned into even more weapons. However, one of the rays actually turned into a shining boat.
The cultivator closest to it grew curious and boarded it. Before the eyes of everyone, this boat actually drifted towards the tower while its passenger crazily shouted: “I’m entering!”
“Bang!” Alas, his overzealousness betrayed him. He jumped down from the boat to rush into the tower, but the miniature tower slammed down and turned him into a pool of blood.
The scene was quiet to the extreme. Suddenly, someone realized something and shouted: “This boat can take people inside!”
Someone tried to cover his mouth, but it was too late. Everyone had heard him and reacted by wanting to rush towards the boat near the entrance. However, the quickest was the Swiftdao God. He rushed over and stood by the edge to stop everyone while waiting for the light to appear again.
Many stopped with the Swiftdao God standing there. His power was as clear as day for all to see, so no matter who they might be, they must weigh themselves first before challenging him. However, this didn’t mean that there weren’t any challengers. A king came forward and confronted the youth.
“Nephew, make room for me. You can enter afterward.” This king was a middle-aged man with a cold temperament.
There was nothing exceptional about him; it was as if he wasn’t the type to be imposing. Without great vitality, he was more of a commoner. His eyes might be quite sharp, but his cold expression seemed a bit glazed as if his face was paralyzed. In fact, not many people were able to recognize him let alone know his origin.
