Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 572 - 474: Has the Male Lead Gotten Cocky?

The male protagonist always felt he was living a particularly oppressed life.

Clearly, he had the script of the protagonist of destiny, yet Zhao Yi suppressed him everywhere.

The opportunities he painstakingly acquired, Zhao Yi obtained tenfold with ease.

He obtained the Divine Artifact Treasure Tower, but Zhao Yi immediately got the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, to the point where even the Tower needed to flatter it.

Now, it’s different.

The male protagonist finally stood proud, even feeling reborn.

After all.

He knew Zhao Yi didn’t have any cultivation, relying only on various artifacts to roam the worlds.

Even though his subordinates were absurdly strong, there was nothing he could do if he wasn’t competent. Without cultivation, longevity would soon become the biggest issue.

Even if one used extraordinary treasures to nourish himself, the body would inevitably decay.

In the end, it would be nothing but a handful of yellow soil.

Thinking of this.

The male protagonist felt his own power, struggling to suppress a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Who could have thought, in just half a month, he burst through to the Sage Realm, now sharing longevity with the heavens, and his current strength was incomparable, making him a standout in the entire Three Thousand Worlds.

Not only that.

With the presence of the Tower, he would surely roam the world with impunity.

The more the male protagonist thought, the more he was lost in contemplation, thinking about how the three demonic beasts had been effectively imprisoning him for so long, not letting him leave. Now, he had nothing to fear from them and could even easily defeat the three demonic beasts.

Thus.

When the male protagonist looked at the three demonic beasts, his face full of excitement, thinking about how to cook them, he discovered that the three demonic beasts were even more excited than himself.

They were even trembling violently.

In an instant...

A thought emerged in the male protagonist’s mind: could it be that Zhao Yi had returned?

As expected.

When his view slowly ascended, he was suddenly frozen in place.

How is this possible?

Someone who had been engulfed by the River of Time could still appear. What on earth was going on?

The male protagonist was howling internally. Previously, the Artifact Spirit had mentioned that Zhao Yi might have lost himself in the River of Time or been taken to some time node, never to return.

At the time, he was happy for a long while and then felt a little melancholy.

But now.

Zhao Yi not only returned, but the fluctuations emanating from him indicated that he had cultivation, even surpassing his own.

In an instant.

The male protagonist’s eyes were filled with endless hatred. He knew the hope of rising back up was completely gone.

The Artifact Spirit, seeing him like this, quickly spoke: "Don’t lose your head. He is now just at the Sage Realm, what of it? With my help in the future, you will have the chance to step into the realm of the Great Daoist Sage, truly transcending the Three Realms, reaching a new height of existence. At that time, Zhao Yi will be nothing more than a passing cloud to you."

"Also, do you really think you can defeat him by showing killing intent now?"

"Haha... In your current state, you’re just smashing an egg against a rock."

The last statement was like a bucket of cold water that woke the male protagonist up.

He suddenly realized what he was doing, showing such hatred. Forget Zhao Yi having cultivation, even without it, killing someone at the Sage Realm would be as easy as crushing an ant for him.

Zhao Yi, having just returned to the Spirit Realm, saw the few demonic beasts guarding there dutifully and immediately nodded: "Well done."

The few demonic beasts had never received his approval, each one immediately spoke.

"Master, it’s what we should do!"

"Exactly, being demonic beasts under your command, if we don’t even have this awareness, we might as well crash into a cabbage and die."

"Master, it’s good that you’re back!"

Zhao Yi nodded and suddenly sensed a surge of hostility beside him, so he looked over curiously.

The next moment.

He saw the male protagonist looking at him with endless hatred.

Zhao Yi touched his nose, a bit puzzled. He had not specifically targeted the male protagonist recently, so why was he still on his mind?

Thus.

Zhao Yi strolled over, and as he approached, the expression on the male protagonist’s face suddenly changed dramatically.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Yi shook his head and suddenly noticed his cultivation had broken through to the Sage Realm, so he curiously asked: "How did you attain Sage Realm cultivation?"

He remembered before going to the Magic World, the male protagonist was only at the eighth-tier level.

In the blink of an eye, the realm had advanced so significantly.

Not speaking of cultivation was fine, but as soon as it was mentioned, the male protagonist looked at him with resentment: "Aren’t you also at the Sage Realm, and stronger than me? I can sense it."

After he spoke.

The three demonic beasts looked at Zhao Yi, utterly shocked.

As their master’s beasts, they could not perceive Zhao Yi’s strength.

But they had vaguely heard before that Zhao Yi actually had no cultivation at all, which made them frustrated for a long time because who wouldn’t want to follow a powerful cultivator?

But later.

After witnessing Zhao Yi’s various means, they no longer had any thoughts.

But now, hearing from the male protagonist’s mouth that their master had reached Sage Realm cultivation?

Knowing that the master had been gone for only ten days or so, journeying alone to an unknown world, facing various dangers.

In this situation.

The master had leaped to a level of cultivation that ordinary people could never dream of achieving in a lifetime.

Thinking about themselves, the hardships they endured to reach the Sage Realm were immeasurable, suffering all sorts of tribulations to miraculously achieve that cultivation.

With this in mind.

The three demonic beasts wished to prostrate their heads at his feet, showing submission.

Zhao Yi, hearing the male protagonist’s words, nodded indifferently: "It’s just the Sage Realm, nothing extraordinary."

Upon gaining the Power of Time’s acceptance, he had already reached the Sage Realm level.

However.

Zhao Yi was not satisfied with his current Sage Realm status, knowing that even among Sage Realm cultivators, there were strong and weak ones.

Some understood a single Law, while some comprehended multiple Laws, naturally differing in strength.

And Zhao Yi’s goal was to focus on the Time Law.

Other Laws didn’t hold any allure for him.

After all, having obtained the Power of Time, once he located the River of Time, given some time, the Time Law would surely be in his grasp.

By then.

No matter how many Laws you comprehend, you’re nothing in front of him.

In the distance.

The Patriarch of the Litian Sword Sect saw Zhao Yi exuding formidable strength and unparalleled aura, immediately feeling inclined to submit.

"My Lord, I am willing to lead the Litian Sword Sect in submission to you!"

After Patriarch Zhao Ling finished speaking, he directly knelt before him.

This scene.

Made the disciples of the Litian Sword Sect unable to accept.

"What is the Patriarch doing? This shouldn’t be!"

"You are the Patriarch of the Litian Sword Sect; how can you kneel to others?"

"Is this still our Patriarch? We will never submit to anyone!"

"Indeed, we will never yield!"
