Chapter 1998 - 1999: A Clash of Equals!
Chapter 1998 - 1999: A Clash of Equals!
Luo Tian, the Saint Heir of North Kunlun, and the Qingyun Saint Son struggled to rise from the ground, their arms hanging limply.
At this moment, the three of them looked incredibly miserable, completely devoid of the momentum they had when facing Ye Qiu initially.
Ye Qiu stood quietly at the front, showing no expression of pride despite easily defeating the three Saint Heirs.
Although the three men were at the Mid-stage Void Return Realm, Ye Qiu did not need to use any trump cards; his level alone was enough to crush them.
As they looked at Ye Qiu’s figure, a layer of fear rose in their pupils. Before the fight, they had scorned Ye Qiu, thinking he couldn’t be too strong, but after clashing with him, Ye Qiu’s strength shattered their perceptions.
They finally realized that they were wrong, terribly wrong.
No wonder Ye Qiu dared to let the three of them attack him together; it was because he truly had this strength.
Ye Qiu easily defeated the three, causing many gazes to shift towards Li Shengyi, wondering what he would do next.
Under the stares of many, Li Shengyi took a step forward, ignoring the previous defeat of the three Saint Heirs by Ye Qiu, and directly said, "Ye Fentian, how about we make a bet?"
A bet?
Li Shengyi’s response surprised many people, even Ye Qiu was slightly surprised. He thought Li Shengyi would be furious and immediately strike, but Li Shengyi wasn’t angry at all, not showing any emotion on his face.
Expressionless, making it more difficult to guess his thoughts.
"What’s the bet?" Ye Qiu asked.
Li Shengyi circled in front of everyone, finally stopping opposite Ye Qiu, and said, "It’s simple, if you defeat me, I will admit that you qualify to challenge the elders of my Taiyi Divine Sect, but if you lose to me..."
Li Shengyi deliberately paused.
"You are a Sixth Elder of the Pill Tower, according to the rules of the Pill Tower, you should be a Divine Grade Alchemist. My bet is simple, if you lose, you must refine pills for me unconditionally for life. Of course, I’m not asking you to follow me or leave the Pill Tower. What I mean is, as long as I need pills, you must make them for me without conditions, and they must be at least Divine Grade or above. Do you dare to accept this bet?"
As soon as these words came out, a sensation erupted around, with many surprised by Li Shengyi’s wager, but soon some praised his decision.
Ye Qiu being an elder of the Pill Tower is an indisputable fact, known across the ancestral land.
And Li Shengyi’s wager is that if he wins against Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu must unconditionally refine pills for him, and at minimum, they must be Divine Grade level pills.
Initially, it was just about making a move, but with such a wager from Li Shengyi, how could Ye Qiu possibly not accept it?
Once Ye Qiu agrees, and Li Shengyi defeats him, any time in the future Li Shengyi needs pills, he can simply call on Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu would have to refine them unconditionally. What a delightful situation!
It’s almost like having an additional Divine Grade Alchemist follower.
No wonder some people praised Li Shengyi, considering him extremely clever for seizing such a rare opportunity.
Now it remains to be seen if Ye Qiu dares to accept it.
Since Li Shengyi dared to propose this, especially after witnessing Ye Qiu’s strength, it shows his immense confidence in his own abilities, not believing he would lose to Ye Qiu.
Everyone’s gaze fell back on Ye Qiu, would he agree?
Everyone awaited Ye Qiu’s answer.
"Let’s start."
Three words, indicating Ye Qiu’s attitude, he agreed, he took the bet.
"It seems from now on, I, Li Shengyi, won’t have to worry about getting pills, I’ll just defeat you quickly, and you just wait to spend your life refining pills for me, haha..."
As Li Shengyi’s words fell, he vanished from the original spot.
"There they are!"
A cry of surprise came from the crowd, and everyone’s gaze followed upwards to the sky, where the two were already engaged in battle amidst the clouds.
"Such incredible speed."
"Even with my eyesight, I can’t distinguish who is who between the two of them."
Exclamations arose from the crowd as Ye Qiu and Li Shengyi’s fight appeared like two lightning bolts constantly colliding, making it impossible to discern one from the other. This was speed pushed to its very limits, difficult for the naked eye to follow.
Of course, the main reason is the lack of strength among the spectators; if they were Martial Artists at the Void Return Realm, they could still clearly see.
The Void Return Realm seems not too high a level, but it’s definitely not low. Most of the people present are Loose Cultivators, many of their strengths still below the realm of Shattered Void. Having even one fifth at or above the Shattered Void level would be considered good.
Not all Martial Artists can break into the Void Return Realm.
The vast majority still have lower martial realms. The ancestral land may seem filled with many martial artists, but that’s looking at the total numbers. Specifically, counting those above Void Return Realm, the numbers are much fewer.
Moreover, this gathering didn’t involve everyone from the ancestral land, only a portion were here.
The battlefield of Ye Qiu and Li Shengyi kept rising, reaching from a hundred meters to a thousand meters, then to ten thousand meters, and finally to the space above the ninth heavens.
Despite the complete rules of the ancestral land, under the full power of both, the void still shattered, even the nine-fold heavens occasionally crackling with energy blasts, vast black holes appearing and quickly repaired by the world’s rules.
Wherever they passed, they left shattered space, feeling the cold breath through the black holes from time to time, bone-chilling cold, yet neither of them stopped.
The black holes appeared and vanished rapidly, and the world’s rules kept mending the gaps created by the collision of energies.
It must be admitted that Li Shengyi’s strength was the strongest Ye Qiu had encountered in the ancestral land, among those at the same realm.
Ye Qiu even had a feeling, this guy’s strength is comparable to that of Shi Mojun.
Ye Qiu could sweep through martial artists of the same realm, eliminating the influence of blackening and the power of black flames, making his strength superior among those in the same realm.
During the fight with Li Shengyi, Ye Qiu found that there was something peculiar about the opponent’s power, with each clash, a force would be transmitted through the collision.
This power had a strong destructive force, wreaking havoc once it entered the body. Fortunately, Ye Qiu’s physique was different from ordinary people, quickly dispelling this force while fighting Li Shengyi.
Seeing that Ye Qiu had fought so many rounds without any anomalies, Li Shengyi slightly furrowed his brow, feeling surprised, "Did he dissolve that force?"
On the ground, many latecomers were asking how the fight was going.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Heavenly Mechanism Sage and Martial Sage fell onto a mountain peak, followed by their newly accepted disciple, Yang Ce among them.
"Is this boy doing this to help his master?" The Heavenly Mechanism Sage gazed upwards.
Beside him, Martial Sage sighed, "It’s impressive for this boy, Zhuang has indeed taken a good disciple."
