Chapter 807: Chapter 587: Eliminating the Yin Emperor

The battle between two hundred-foot-tall giants was nothing short of earth-shaking.

Li Yi’s fist power was terrifying, possessing the might to penetrate mountains and rivers. With the burst of Dragon Tiger Divine Power, the Emperor of the Divine Sect couldn’t resist at all. Each strike shattered his body, spraying a large amount of incense fire energy, yet he dared not stop fighting back; otherwise, he would meet a tragic end.

Thus, even knowing that he was at a disadvantage, the Emperor of the Divine Sect continued to condense his Incense Fire Divine Body, roaring as he counterattacked with punches.

But each counter was met with destruction.

And every severe injury came at a cost. Although the incense could regroup, the soul power was continuously being consumed, so each time he reformed his body, he grew weaker.

"Divine Sect Emperor, you are no match for me. Rest in peace," Li Yi shouted suddenly, his voice like thunder. His fist clenched and he attacked again, the fist intent erupting like a wrathful vajra carrying storm and thunder, charging with the Dragon Tiger Divine Power.

The Emperor of the Divine Sect’s mind was shaken, leaving him full of weaknesses. He took a punch through the head.

There was no blood or gore, only incense fire scattering. At the same time, that punch also obliterated part of his soul power, so he still let out a painful scream. His enormous body even began to shrink noticeably; the incense fire power could not coalesce the entire body, and large chunks started falling off.

Like a divine statue in a temple, cracked and weathering from age and neglect.

But Li Yi knew how hard it was to kill this Yin Emperor. Even if he kept blowing up his body, he could still recover, thanks to the accumulated belief power over countless years. No matter how many times this emperor fell, as long as the people still believed in the Zhao Dynasty, he could recover swiftly.

All Li Yi could do was wear him down until his soul power deteriorated to the point where he could no longer gather incense fire energy.

Punch after punch rained down.

Each blow carried the might to shake the earth and destroy mountains and rivers.

Ultimately, the Emperor of the Divine Sect was thoroughly defeated. He could no longer resist; his body continued to crumble, his power growing ever weaker. The hundred-foot-tall body was forcibly reduced by twenty feet.

"Master Taiyi, you cannot kill me."

Though defeated, the Emperor of the Divine Sect was still defiant, yelling, "After today, you will be hunted across the world, with no escape."

As long as his situation was known, it wouldn’t be long before the other Yin Emperors of the Zhao Dynasty would unite, gathering the incense fire gods to launch a second campaign against this Master Taiyi.

At that time, he did not believe this Master Taiyi could survive.

Li Yi remained silent, his face cold, continuing to pummel the incense fire body, destroying it while eroding his soul power.

Admittedly, the life force of this Emperor of the Divine Sect was incredibly tenacious. His soul had been nourished by incense fire power for so long it could no longer be called a soul, but rather a primordial spirit. Similar to the primordial spirit a cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Realm possesses, able to exist in the world even without the body.

But even a primordial spirit was useless; he did not understand true cultivation and could not fully utilize the incense fire belief. Otherwise, how could he be beaten back step by step by Li Yi?

The earth-shaking fist power went on for nearly two hours.

The Emperor of the Divine Sect’s body was now less than fifty feet tall, standing before Li Yi like a child.

Moreover, his state was extremely dire; his body was incomplete, the incense fire completely dissipating, and the speed of repair had slowed considerably. The primordial spirit power was nearly exhausted. Once that limit was reached, he would become the first Yin Emperor in history to fall at the hands of a cultivator.

In the past, the fall of a Yin Emperor occurred only during dynastic change. In the current flourishing era of the court, with incense thriving, no one would believe that a Yin Emperor would meet such an end today.

The Emperor of the Divine Sect clearly realized that, regardless of future outcomes, today he feared he would not escape this calamity.

"Damn it." He roared unwillingly, with no other thoughts now but to escape quickly.

If he didn’t leave now, he truly wouldn’t be able to escape.

Thinking of this, the Emperor of the Divine Sect’s nearly fifty-foot-tall body no longer held on, suddenly dissipating into a massive blue smoke that spread. Then, this blue smoke turned into hundreds of rays of light, spreading in all directions. This technique was known to the world’s incense fire gods; as long as he escaped with a single divine thought, he could regroup incense fire and restore his body.

Although not returning to his peak, it was better than losing his life.

"Taiyi, he is not your match and wants to escape. I will help you keep him here to eliminate future troubles." At this moment, Xiang Xiangzi, who was watching on the side, couldn’t hold back.

With her presence, how could she allow an enemy to slip away under her nose?

Though Xiang Xiangzi’s current body was formed from a Seven-Colored Stone, making control difficult and rendering her unable to perform intricate Daoist skills, she still had means to act, not to mention that with the augmentation of incense fire power, she might not be much less than in her heyday.

"Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing."

Xiang Xiangzi made no unnecessary moves, forcibly channeling Daoist skill into her palm and then striking across the air.

With this strike, the might of Dragon Tiger Divine Power was truly displayed to the fullest. The entire world seemed to roar with deafening dragon and tiger calls. This sound carried immense power, and at its appearance, the whole region was struck with an indescribable force. This force was invisible but encompassed all directions, sparing no space.

Accompanied by such an attack, each of the scattered rays of light shattered inch by inch in midair, finally turning into points of light that dissipated into the world.

"Ah!"

The dispersal of each light ray was accompanied by faint cries echoing.

That was the primordial spirit of the Emperor of the Divine Sect wailing.

His primordial spirit divided into fragments, attempting to escape. It seemed promising, but actually, it was a grave mistake because it left him unable to defend against any attacks. Just a random strike could destroy his divine thought. Although numerous, when the enemy possessed large-scale spells, it spelled disaster.

It is quite evident.

Breaking into smaller parts doesn’t work on Xiang Xiangzi.

In just a brief moment.

Countless lights dispersed.

This Divine Sect Emperor was soon completely extinguished from existence, without even a trace of Divine Thought escaping.

Without Divine Thought to anchor itself, the overwhelming Incense Fire Belief Power began to disperse, myriad trails of blue smoke covering the sky, scattering in all directions like dragons.

The hundred-zhang giant transformed by Li Yi, eyes scanning all around, observing the vicinity for any remaining traces.

"Taiyi, rest assured, this Immortal’s intervention will never allow a single Divine Thought to escape, that Divine Sect Emperor is dead, never to revive." Xiang Xiangzi said with great confidence.

"With those words from the Immortal, I feel reassured." Li Yi responded, quickly retracting his gaze.

The eyesight of a master in the Tri-Floral Realm is worth trusting.

Immediately, he once again operated the Big and Small Ruyi Skill, and that massive hundred-zhang figure quickly shrank back.

It is his first time using such a spell in this manner, and so far, the effect isn’t bad.

"One Yin Emperor is dead, perhaps there will be some trouble to follow, prepare yourself mentally."

Xiang Xiangzi stated: "Moreover, the Power of Incense cannot continue to disperse, otherwise my Primordial Spirit will continually fall into slumber, making it difficult to nurture this body."

"You’re right, I too can’t tolerate being arbitrarily stripped of the State Preceptor position by the Yin Emperor, though it doesn’t affect us much, it nonetheless interferes with our cultivation." Li Yi said coldly: "In that case, let’s seize this opportunity, and decisively eradicate the remaining Yin Emperors, putting an end to this matter."

"Indeed, that’s the proper course of action." Xiang Xiangzi nodded with a smile, also unable to tolerate the Yin Emperors causing trouble from behind.

"We should act immediately before the news of this Yin Emperor’s death spreads." Li Yi suggested.

Xiang Xiangzi wholeheartedly agreed.

Either do nothing, or do it thoroughly.

Since this has begun, these enemies cannot be spared.

Otherwise, if these Yin Emperors regroup, they’d indeed become a major concern; whereas, tackling them one by one now would ensure peace, enabling the collection of incense in this world without worries.

"However, the location of the Yin Emperors still requires inquiry from the Golden Eyes Guard to be known; I believe my father has made preparations in this regard." Li Yi stated.

Afterwards, golden Xiangyun rose beneath his feet, carrying Xiang Xiangzi towards the assembly point of the Jinyi Guard and Golden Eyes Guard.

Due to the battle’s impact, they had already withdrawn beyond Baili outside the territory of An Mountain, now gathering in an inconspicuous small town.

Upon arrival, Li Yi immediately shouted: "Where are the Golden Eyes Guards?"

"At your service."

Upon hearing this voice, the Golden Eyes Guards in the town converged from different directions, looking at Li Yi on the golden Xiangyun with eyes showing reverence.

After all, they had witnessed An Mountain being destroyed during a battle firsthand.

Such power truly leaves no room for dissent.

Li Yi waved his hand, and the twenty Golden Eyes Guards similarly had Xiangyun rising beneath their feet, being drawn up into midair; he directly asked: "The Divine Sect Emperor has been slain by me; now I wish to know the whereabouts of the other Yin Emperors?"

The Divine Sect Emperor is dead?

The Golden Eyes Guards grew stern internally, somewhat shocked.

Unexpectedly, Master Taiyi could even annihilate the Yin Emperor.

"Replying to the True Man, the locations of the remaining Yin Emperors are all recorded on this map." After a brief shock, Golden Eyes Guard Wang Ning hurriedly took out a map from her bosom, which was previously entrusted to her by Emperor Shenwu for safekeeping.

"Excellent."

Li Yi took it casually, turning to look, finding the map marked with the burial sites of various Yin Emperors within the Imperial Mausoleum.

However, some Yin Emperors occupied the Imperial Mausoleum, others reside in bustling towns, while some Yin Emperors are hidden overseas, whereabouts unknown.

Not all Yin Emperors can be found.

But most are recorded.

That is enough.

By eliminating most Yin Emperors, even if a few escapees remain, they won’t become a threat.
