Chapter 806: Chapter 586: Divine Sect Emperor

An Mountain has disappeared?

This scene left the Divine Sect Emperor’s heart in turmoil, incredibly shocked.

A great mountain, infused with the Power of Incense, had become sentient, yet surprisingly, it couldn’t withstand a single strike from Master Taiyi. In the midst of a storm, it was forcibly leveled, leaving the mountain vanished, the Imperial Mausoleum gone, and only a vast plain stretching for Baili remaining.

It wasn’t just the Divine Sect Emperor who was in disbelief; even the Jinyi Guards outside An Mountain, who were demolishing temples, were similarly stunned.

Such major commotion was naturally seen by the Jinyi Guards. They couldn’t believe that a mountain range spanning Baili before them had disappeared completely in an instant. Legends speak of immortals with the power to shift mountains and fill seas, but they never expected to witness it firsthand today.

"Is this Master Taiyi’s true power?" The Flower Girl of the Golden Eyes Guard widened her eyes at the empty direction of An Mountain, unable to recover for a long time.

"No wonder none of the Incense Fire Gods in the world can match a True Man; with such ability, there’s no difference from a divine being." Jinyi Guard Commander Yang Ling was also somewhat at a loss.

And now, without An Mountain’s obstruction.

The surrounding terrain seemed to open up suddenly, and the view broadened considerably. Without this mountain, it seemed that this place became much better.

At this moment, the Divine Sect Emperor’s expression was grim. He could see that Master Taiyi’s strike wasn’t aimed at him but was meant to annihilate the entire An Mountain, leaving him, the emperor, with no associates, alone. And indeed, Master Taiyi succeeded.

Had he not been the Yin Emperor, with substantial incense, accumulated deeply, he might have faced dire consequences.

"Master Taiyi, what do you mean by this? You didn’t have to strike so ruthlessly just because you didn’t want to pass down the method." The Divine Sect Emperor suppressed the anger in his heart, his face darkened as he asked.

With An Mountain gone, his losses were enormous.

Yet, he couldn’t understand why Master Taiyi would act so unethically and strike suddenly.

Li Yi calmly replied, "Originally, I didn’t intend to confront you Yin Emperors at this time, as the moment hadn’t matured. But since the Divine Sect Emperor is so ungrateful and wants to demand my Cultivation Method, I will reluctantly send His Majesty on his way today."

"How dare you."

The Yin Emperor’s wrath burst forth upon hearing this; he was furious.

Since ascending the throne and later becoming the Yin Emperor, no one had ever dared to show him such disrespect. Even the current Emperor, upon visiting An Mountain, must respectfully offer three incense sticks in worship.

Today, Master Taiyi dared to destroy An Mountain and the Imperial Mausoleum, utterly disregarding him, the Divine Sect Emperor.

"The bold dare to defy the world’s great taboo and eliminate the Incense Fire Gods."

Li Yi said calmly, "Divine Sect Emperor, your power is commendable, but without enlightenment in the Cultivation Method, you only have the Power of Incense that can’t be fully utilized. In a real fight, you are not my opponent. Beg for mercy; I might spare you."

"Beg for mercy?"

The Divine Sect Emperor laughed in extreme anger, "I rule over the world, commanding authority; even in death, I’m the esteemed Yin Emperor. You, a Daoist, want me to plead for mercy? Absurd! With a single decree, I can strip you of your position as State Preceptor, disperse your surrounding incense; opposing me is the most foolish choice of your life."

Li Yi responded, "If that’s the case, what are you waiting for? Issue the decree. You should understand well that the current Emperor Shenwu sent me to lead the three thousand Jinyi Guards in opening the path of breaking temples because I can break free from the control of incense. Even without the support of incense, I possess the power to defeat the world’s Incense Fire Gods."

"Wasn’t it evident in the battle at Taihu?"

These words made the Divine Sect Emperor fall silent again.

Indeed.

The battle at Taihu seemed simple, but the world’s Incense Fire Gods were watching. Could a cultivator, without the enhancement of incense powers, still defeat those well-known Incense Fire Gods?

Li Yi won. This meant that the Fire Sacrifice Skill couldn’t constrain this State Preceptor.

Yet, while the Divine Sect Emperor was silent, Li Yi took out a Divine Wood Great Bow from the Five Elements Bracelet, followed by a fiery red arrow appearing on the bowstring.

"Hmm?"

The Divine Sect Emperor’s face changed dramatically upon seeing this, sensing a chilling murderous intent locking onto him.

Good heavens.

This Master Taiyi truly intended to kill him?

But just as this thought appeared, a fiery red arrow shot out in an instant, arriving at an unbelievable speed.

This bow from the Demon God Realm seemed born to kill, its arrows perilous to the extreme, giving no time for reaction.

Even with the Dragon and Tiger Energy’s protection and immense incense shielding, the Divine Sect Emperor couldn’t withstand the arrow’s attack.

Instantly.

A gaping wound was torn across the Divine Sect Emperor’s chest, the fiery red arrow flew to the distant horizon, vanishing from sight.

He gazed incredulously at his pierced chest.

The heat of the flames entwined, attempting to corrode him, burning him to ashes.

"Damn it."

Suffering bodily damage, the Divine Sect Emperor felt intense pain in his soul. He roared, and a torrent of Incense Fire Belief Power erupted from him, instantly extinguishing the raging flames while the pierced wound healed in a flash.

This Yin Emperor is evidently different from other Incense Fire Gods; this level of incense has already triggered some qualitative change.

"Indeed, killing a Yin Emperor is very difficult, but since I’ve already started, I can’t worry about too much."

Li Yi’s gaze was chilling. He once again summoned the Dragon Tiger Divine Power and consecutively fired three more arrows.

Each arrow was at the Magic Artifact level, piercing through this Divine Sect Emperor in an instant, causing his entire body to explode.

"Master Taiyi, I’m going to kill you." The Divine Sect Emperor was shocked and furious, not expecting Taiyi to attack so decisively and ruthlessly, not giving any breathing space at all.

He was forced to gather incense again to restore his body.

This kind of injury was nothing to a Yin Emperor, but such humiliation was unbearable.

"This is what a battle of Daoist skills is like."

Li Yi’s expression was indifferent. Taking advantage of the opponent’s recovery, he once again activated the Heart Fire Qi, then spat out a breath.

The fierce wind turned into raging fire, sweeping across the sky, this time for no other purpose but to slay the Yin Emperor before him.

Under the Wind Summoning Technique, the Divine Sect Emperor’s body was once again severely burned. He could feel himself disintegrating in the flames; even if the incense was immense, it could not re-coalesce. If this continued, he might really die here, being forcibly tempered away.

Though the Divine Sect Emperor didn’t have much experience in fighting with Daoist skills, hundreds of years of cultivation wasn’t without achievements. He was now able to channel Heaven and Earth Energy along with the power of incense belief, all converging on the Dragon and Tiger Energy.

In an instant, the sound of dragons roaring and tigers howling was unending.

A True Dragon was seen, accompanied by a fierce tiger, charging out ferociously. Relying on the extremely strong incense fire energy, it managed to withstand the scorching of the Wind Summoning Technique, but at a huge cost. Countless incense fire energy continuously dissipated, filling the surrounding hundred miles with a rich sandalwood fragrance.

The Dragon and Tiger Energy at this moment was nearly dissipated.

Fortunately, it bought a moment of time, allowing the Divine Sect Emperor to reassemble his incense fire body.

"I shall slay you."

The Divine Sect Emperor now looked at Li Yi with a deep-seated hatred. Without a word, he wrapped his body with the incense fire energy gathered on An Mountain. His body suddenly expanded, transforming in a blink of an eye into a gigantic figure a hundred-zhang tall, with an imposing figure like a god.

This Incense Fire Giant God at this moment raised its fist, gathering strength to smash towards Li Yi.

No fancy tricks were needed, purely an accumulation of incense fire power. Such a blow was enough to destroy mountains and flatten lakes.

"Contest of fists? I fear you not, Big and Small Ruyi Skill."

Li Yi suddenly shouted. He activated the Daoist Skill, and his body also abruptly expanded at this moment. In an instant, he transformed into a giant’s body a hundred-zhang tall. The use of this Daoist Skill was not very adept; after all, changing the size of the body had many drawbacks, and the actual power remained unchanged.

However, one mustn’t lose in momentum when exchanging blows with others.

The giant Li Yi now had golden Xiangyun coiling under his feet, silver lightning weaving around his body. As he threw a punch, tri-colored light circulated, and the Dragon Tiger Divine Power erupted.

In an instant, it shook mountains and rivers, sweeping across the land.

Boom!

At this moment, the two fists collided with each other.

The battle between two hundred-zhang tall giants was earth-shattering. With just one strike, energy rebounded, cracking the surrounding terrain within a hundred-mile radius. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to ripple immediately due to this strike.

In the end, the Divine Sect Emperor was not a Martial Artist; though the power of his punch was great, it was not as precise as Li Yi’s punch.

A punch, powered by all his strength and mana, instantly shattered the Divine Sect Emperor’s arm. The massive residual force transformed into a colossal beam of light, thoroughly penetrating his arm and taking away almost half of his body.

"Ah!" The Divine Sect Emperor let out a painful scream. Cracks appeared all over the hundred-zhang tall Incense Fire Divine Body, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Once more."

The giant Li Yi had no intention to relent after gaining the upper hand. With just one step forward, he was right in front of the Divine Sect Emperor, his fist raised for another blow.

Above the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, whipping up violent gusts of air.

The Divine Sect Emperor looked at Li Yi now with a face of shock.

Only after exchanging a punch did he truly understand the terrifying strength of this Master Taiyi. The force of that punch was enough to kill one’s morale completely, leaving no desire to resist. Such a feeling was truly incredible.

But the Divine Sect Emperor had no path of retreat. He too roared, once again gathering the incense of Heaven and Earth, the sky full of energy, raising the other arm to punch once more.

His punch seemed to manifest mountains and rivers, representing the power of the world.

This strike was indeed terrifying; no incense god in the world could withstand it.

Boom!

Another sound akin to the opening of heaven and earth reverberated.

At this moment, even the earth mourned.

The power of the Yin Emperor was terrifying, but this Master Taiyi was like a divine being descending to the world. Such a great battle, even witnessing it was challenging. The nearby Jinyi Guards retreated as quickly as possible to the surroundings, fearing that the aftermath might engulf them if they tarried.
