The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1097: Half-Step Saint

Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Half-Step Saint

Gazing at the murderously intent Yang Beiming, Fuxi ground his teeth in anger.

He had reached the pinnacle of the Manifesting Saint realm, his actual combat strength even surpassing that of an average Manifesting Saint at peak. But when facing Yang Beiming, he had been beaten so badly that he’d lost all his spirit.

He suddenly came to understand why Yang Beiming’s fame was so immense in the cosmos.

In the past, Jiye Demon Lord and other notable figures could contend with Yang Beiming, but now the cosmos recognized Yang Beiming as the foremost, not because the era had declined.

It was because Yang Beiming was too strong!

So strong that no one could match him.

"This strength... It’s truly at the level of a half-step sage..."

Fuxi thought bitterly, and despite his thoughts, he spurred the River Map into action, and in an instant, a phantom of mountains and rivers materialized before him.

He then poured his magical powers into the Luo Shu, and right after, in the depths of the starry sky, the starlight of innumerable stars converged towards the Luo Shu in a spectacular display, like countless meteors flying towards the same destination.

Gathering the power of the stars to shape the form of the mountains and rivers!

Patriarch Bodhi, Qiang Liang, and Luo Shixin were entangled with Yang Beiming, while Patriarch Bodhi displayed an ever-changing array of Divine Powers, and Qiang Liang and Luo Shixin relied on their physical bodies to clash fiercely with Yang Beiming.

For a while, Yang Beiming was unable to inflict serious injury on them.

The shapes of the four mighty beings flickered like light; every collision sent them flying millions of miles, piercing through one star after another and plummeting into utter darkness, only to soar up again.

The four powerful figures each exhibited their Divine Powers, with golden lotuses sprawling out, thunder and lightning intertwining, and the roaring fires of the Qilin.

In a flash, a hundred exchanges had passed.

After all, Yang Beiming was Yang Beiming.

With his sword intent and the ancient divine sword, unadorned by flashy Divine Powers or spells, he managed to render Patriarch Bodhi and the two others utterly helpless, unable to wound him.

Yang Beiming’s sword intent was extremely offensive, and coupled with his unimaginably fast movements, he repeatedly inflicted wounds on the trio.

By this time, Fuxi had successfully gathered the power of the stars, and the phantom of the mountains and rivers in front of him had become fully solidified.

Continuous mountain ranges and flowing rivers, complete with hanging rainbows, resembled a beautiful painting, yet they were real.

Fuxi’s expression was solemn as he flew towards Yang Beiming, with the mountains and rivers following his lead, carrying a formidable momentum.

Qiang Liang had been pierced so often that his body was covered with sword wounds, drenched in blood like one who had bathed in it. His eyes burned a blood-red, oblivious to the pain, resolved to tear Yang Beiming to shreds.

Yang Beiming’s gaze stayed on Qiang Liang, seizing every opportunity to strike him with his sword.

Even Patriarch Bodhi, with his vast array of Divine Powers, could not guard against it.

Seeing Fuxi charge with the mountains and rivers, Yang Beiming’s expression remained unchanged.

He could tell that this was no ordinary set of mountains and rivers.

"Could it be that primordial divine treasure?"

Yang Beiming thought to himself. Magical treasures of the same tier did not necessarily offer the same level of offensive power, as there were different focuses, like his ancient divine sword which mainly focused on destruction, considered one of the top-tiered offensive primordial treasures.

The River Map and Luo Shu indeed were not offensive artifacts, even if they were also primordial divine treasures, they couldn’t withstand a direct confrontation with the ancient divine sword.

But in other respects, the ancient divine sword simply couldn’t compare to the River Map and Luo Shu.

However, Fuxi didn’t care about what Yang Beiming was thinking within, and he shouted angrily, "Yang Beiming, don’t be too arrogant!"

After saying those words, he fiercely pushed forward, and the mountains and rivers crashed ahead.

Qiang Liang and Luo Shixin hurriedly dodged, while Patriarch Bodhi manipulated the golden lotus to bind Yang Beiming, then leapt up, flying over the mountains and rivers, his feet grazing the mountain peaks.

The mountains and rivers, carrying an unparalleled momentum, collided with Yang Beiming, who was entwined in the golden lotus.

In that very moment, billions of sword intents shredded countless golden lotuses, landing upon the mighty mountains and rivers.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

A terrifying suction force emerged from within the mighty mountains and rivers, startling Patriarch Bodhi into quickly withdrawing.

The golden lotuses were pulled into the mountains and rivers, and Yang Beiming, too, used the ancient divine sword to resist, evidently also taken aback.

"River Map mountains and rivers, the star-containing Luo Shu..."

Patriarch Bodhi muttered as he watched the scene unfold, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Qiang Liang and Luo Shixin found a moment to catch their breath while staring at the majestic mountains and rivers, they too were frightened.

They could feel the terrifying suction emanating from the mountains and rivers. The spiritual energy around them disappeared without a trace once it was absorbed, how could that not send chills down one’s spine?

"Ss— What Divine Power is that?"

"Why isn’t Yang Beiming dodging?"

"It’s not that he isn’t dodging; it’s that he can’t."

"What do you mean? Could it be that this Divine Power is more complicated than it appears?"

"It has gathered the gravitational force of stars, one can only comprehend its terror when facing it head-on."

All beings started to discuss in shock as they gazed towards the distant mountains and rivers with a look of astonishment.

Even Di Tianwu, the Mad Child, and Mo Xuanzi were taken aback.

"A Divine Power that gathers the force of stars..."

The Mad Child murmured to himself, his expression no longer as nonchalant as before.

The God and Demon beings on the walls of Qin Immortal Realm City became excited. Were they about to counter-kill Yang Beiming?

At that moment, Yang Beiming himself was in trouble, grasping the ancient divine sword with both hands, countless Sword Energies, like thunder and lightning, spilling out of his body and hammering the mountains and rivers in front. Unfortunately, as soon as they touched the mountains and rivers, they were instantly absorbed.

Meanwhile, the mountains and rivers continued to expand.

Yang Beiming was at the foot of a mountain peak, bracing himself with the tip of his sword. But the indescribable suction force was gradually pressing his body against the mountain wall.

White hair covered most of his face, but his eyes remained ice cold; there was no way he could panic.

"The gravitational pull of stars, if sucked in, the consequences are unimaginable!"

Yang Beiming quickly assessed his situation. He found it very difficult to escape; the terrifying gravitational pull of stars made him feel as if there were ten Manifesting Saints pushing against his back.

Suddenly, Yang Beiming’s pupils turned silver, and an air of determination burst forth from within him.

Hum—

The ancient divine sword let out a shrill humming noise, and the next second, billions of Sword Energies burst forth along the blade, densely sealing the majestic mountains and rivers as if the scene had been sliced into countless tiny pieces.

"Break—"

Yang Beiming shouted sharply, channeling all his mana into the ancient divine sword, unleashing his strongest Sword Energy.

"Not good!"

Fuxi’s expression suddenly changed as he called out, urging Qiang Liang and the others to retreat quickly.

But it was already too late.

With a thunderous explosion, akin to a cosmic big bang, the majestic mountains and rivers instantaneously shattered, a bright light with a shockwave rapidly spreading, all beings in the starry sky only felt a flash before their eyes, and then lost all sensory functions the next second.

Even Qin Jun, who was flying towards the city gates, was blinded, his vision turning a pale white.

"Could someone be self-destructing?"

Qin Jun was startled. If a Manifesting Saint realm powerhouse self-destructed, the Qin Immortal Realm could be doomed.

Not to mention Yang Beiming who was fighting one against four.

"This doesn’t make sense! Fuxi is a being beyond the complete stages of the Manifesting Saint realm, and Qiang Liang, Luo Shixin, Patriarch Bodhi are all in the late stages of the Manifesting Saint realm, yet none could handle Yang Beiming?"

Qin Jun complained in his heart, even suspecting that the system had weakened Fuxi and the others.

"It’s not that Fuxi and the other three God and Demon beings are weak, it’s that Yang Beiming is too strong. This man is already half a step into sainthood, delving into the path of sainthood, and he also holds a Chaos spiritual treasure, it’s inevitable his power is against the heavens..."

The system explained helplessly, making Qin Jun feel stifled.

Half a step into sainthood...

This is just...

Yang Beiming’s talent was unbelievably terrifying. From the moment he entered the scene, he was invincible, and to this day, no one has shaken his position. If people knew he had never stagnated and was now starting to compete for the path of sainthood, it would certainly scare countless beings to death.
