While s.h.i.+ Qingfan was dealing with his business, on the fifth altar...
Ao Cangtian frowned as his aura began to tremble.
He had just overcome the Tribulation of Wind and Fire, and was currently battling against the Monarch Horoscope inside the illusionary s.p.a.ce.
“This can’t continue, as I will most likely fail if it does! It looks like I’ll have to use that move!”
Ao Cangtian stared at the powerful Monarch Horoscope in front and clenched his teeth as he performed a hand seal.
The auras of the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Diabolic Qilin burst out from his left and right arms.
It was the killing blow that he had been practicing after spending six months cultivating in seclusion.
The attack was incredibly powerful, as it was capable of resisting an attack of the first-layer Martial Monarch Realm.
However, in order to execute the move, he would need to let Jiu Jiu and Yang Qi insert some force of their bloodline into his arms.
“Three beasts into one, the arrival of ten thousand beasts!”
Ao Cangtian uttered a roar as a tremendous Battle Dragon aura burst out from his chest, which swiftly merged with the auras on his arms, resulting in a terrifying shockwave.
However, a shocking occurrence took place.
BANG!
A loud explosion!
The aura of the Diabolic Qilin on his right arm exploded instantly, unleas.h.i.+ng a terrifying force!
“This...”
Ao Cangtian’s eyes widened as his face was full of disbelief.
Whoos.h.!.+
Meanwhile, the Monarch Horoscope nearby attacked and penetrated his chest, causing the illusionary s.p.a.ce to disappear instantly.
On the altar, Ao Cangtian’s right arm exploded, causing blood to splatter everywhere. A line of blood ran down from his lips as well.
The force sealing off the entire altar slowly dissipated.
He had failed to inherit the Monarch Horoscope!
“What happened?”
Jiu Jiu who was standing nearby was astounded. That was Ao Cangtian, who had mastered the move by combining their forces. How could he possibly fail the trial?
Whoos.h.!.+
At that instant, a figure flew toward the altar at a shocking speed.
The figure kicked Ao Cangtian down from the altar straight away without mercy.
“Yang Qi, you...”
Jiu Jiu was dumbfounded.
Ao Cangtian wore a blank expression seeing this.
Yang Qi?
Why was it him?
Weren’t they brothers!
“HAHAHA!” Yang Qi stood on the altar and burst out laughing as he stared at the appearing Tribulation of Wind and Fire, “Ao Cangtian, you never expected this, did you? I set a trap inside your right arm, just to set you up today!”
He had planned all of this for a long time.
“But...why?”
Ao Cangtian glared at Yang Qi with a pale face.
The challenges they had faced together, the memories and friends.h.i.+p they shared, had Yang Qi forgotten all of them?
“Why? You’re asking me why? You’ve always taken all the glory and fame, be it at the Dragon Emperor Clan or the Beast G.o.d Forbidden Ground. Did anyone take me seriously? Well, that will come to an end today. I’ll be the one inheriting the Monarch Horoscope. Everything will me mine soon!”
Yang Qi’s face was filled with anger and pride, resulting in a twisted expression.
He had waited for this moment for a very long time.
“Hah.”
Ao Cangtian wore a self-mocking look after hearing this.
Everyone had always said how cunning humans were, but he finally realized that the scariest of all was a treacherous, jealous heart.
...Meanwhile, on the second and third altars...
As the incidents took place on the first and fifth altars, the battle between Sorceress Qian Qian and Sage Chen Zilai had reached its climax!
Countless demons and buddhas collided into each other in the sky, resulting in a blinding glow!
“Bald donkey, have a taste of my strongest move!”
Sorceress Qian Qian yelled as she took out ten ancient talismans that were set on fire instantly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
At that instant, several shocking demonic auras were unleashed from the talismans, turning the place into a world of demons.
The ten talismans were specifically prepared by the Demon Path Martial Monarch of the Fallen Demon Villa, which stored a significant amount of demonic Qi to allow Sorceress Qian Qian to execute her move.
“The Summoning of Ten Thousand Demons!”
Sorceress Qian Qian performed a hand seal, causing the demonic Qi to experience a tremendous change.
Several figures began to rise up in the sky, each with an enormous figure and a terrifying aura like the depth of the ocean. It felt like they were the clones of the Demon Path Martial Monarch, ten of them in total.
“Amitabha, using ten thousand demons to summon ten powerful clones. Impressive, but I’ve got something for you too. I’m keen to see if your ten demons are stronger, or my hundred Buddhas?”
Chen Zilai placed his palms together as the prayer beads on his chest were shattered.
Whoosh whoosh whoos.h.!.+
Several shocking Bodhi intents burst out from the prayer beads, forming unique figures of different Buddhas in the sky. In the blink of an eye, a hundred of them stood firmly in the air while emitting blinding glows, as if they were prepared to cleanse the entire world.
“Kill!”
Sorceress Qian Qian gave out the command.
The ten demonic shadows charged forward while firing formidable demonic arts with their fists.
The hundred Buddhas placed their palms together and chanted simultaneously, unleas.h.i.+ng their Bodhi arts with a combined voice that caused the Heavens to tremble.
BANG BANG BANG!
Several powerful collisions took place!
The two altars began to tremble vigorously!
The battle between the two geniuses was utterly terrifying!
It took the battle a while to calm down, as Sorceress Qian Qian’s face became pale. Only one out of the ten demons remained.
However, Sage Chen Zilai was in a worse state. A line of golden blood ran down from his lips as the hundred Buddhas in the air were shattered, contaminated with the demonic aura.
“Cough cough, what a surprise, you’ve won again.”
Chen Zilai let out a cough.
Sorceress Qian Qian walked up to him with a complicated look.
Did she really want to do it?
Let the bald donkey disappear forever from the world for the Monarch Horoscope?
But, if she didn’t do it, how could she possibly avenge her family? How could she live up to the expectations of her master?
No!
For her family, for her master, she had to do it!
“Ancient Demonic Qi!”
Sorceress Qian Qian groaned as a stream of ancient demonic Qi appeared on her palm, which she slapped into Sage Chen Zilai’s chest.
BANG!
A dull explosion took place!
Chen Zilai’s body swiftly darkened as he was surrounded by the demonic Qi!
“I’m sorry, my task is to seriously injure you!”
Sorceress Qian Qian lowered her head and said in a soft tone.
She clearly knew that the moment she inserted the ancient demonic Qi into Chen Zilai’s body, it would take at least ten years for his cultivation to recover.
“I know, my task is the same too. This Monarch Horoscope is quite evil.”
Chen Zilai forced a smile on his face.
Sorceress Qian Qian was astounded. Why were their tasks the same?
Suddenly, she was aware of something, urging her to glimpse toward Chen Zilai’s left hand, and was thunderstruck.
Rings of Bodhi glow could be seen emitting from Chen Zilai’s left palm, which felt like a mysterious s.p.a.ce filled with Buddhas.
The Buddha Kingdom Palm!
It was the legendary Buddha Kingdom Palm!
She clearly knew how powerful the attack was. She would never be able to resist it!
Since Chen Zilai has mastered the Buddha Kingdom Palm, why didn’t he...
Sorceress Qian Qian’s figure began to tremble.
She had learned the truth this time.
Last time, she had managed to defeat Chen Zilai because he had purposely let her win.
This time, Chen Zilai had purposely lost the battle too.
He had never used his strongest move.
He had been letting her win all this time.
“You...”
Sorceress Qian Qian’s voice began to tremble.
“It’s fine, don’t overthink it. Congratulations on claiming the Monarch Horoscope.”
Chen Zilai said with a soft tone. Following this, the ancient demonic Qi exploded, causing him to let out a groan as he dropped to the ground and fainted. However, a smile remained on his face.
Buddhism and demons could never coexist.
However, the heavens were making fools of them.
She had become the Tribulation that he could never overcome.
