Sage Monarch (Sage Emperor)

Mu Renwang and Su Xin were both wily old foxes, and they were absolutely delighted that Yang Qi was planning to use the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart against the House of God Bastards and the Genesis Sanctum. Of course, it wasn’t as if they would immediately believe everything Yang Qi said.

“You’d better follow through, boy,” Mu Renwang said. “Otherwise we’ll tell everyone about the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, and then you’ll be in a really bad situation.

Yang Qi snorted coldly. “If you want to be as short-sighted as rats, go ahead and tell everyone. Do you still think I’m the kind of person you can easily take advantage of? You know me well enough, don’t you? You know what I'm capable of. I can tell you that as long as you don’t betray me, I’ll make sure nothing happens to you. Remember, I could always switch sides to Huangfu Genesis and make sure the Woodfern Couple Palace is destroyed.”

“You...” Su Xin growled angrily, yet there was nothing she could do.

She knew full well that Yang Qi was right. Not only would revealing Yang Qi’s secret of the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart not help them in any way, it would probably hurt them. In contrast, if Yang Qi could strike a big blow against Huangfu Genesis and the House of God Bastards, they would benefit greatly.

“But how can we trust that you’ll actually provide the power of the blessing to our daughter?”

“You have no other choice but to trust me,” Yang Qi replied. “Unless you’d prefer that I include you, and assimilate everyone from the Woodfern Couple Palace.”

“What?!” Mu Renwang said. “You know how to use the Mahātmā Jade?!”

“For the most part. Otherwise why do you think I’d accept a blessing from you people? Do you really think I'm an idiot? Do you really think I would just hand myself over to your control? The Mahātmā Jade was created by the ancient Supreme True-Devil, and even a tiny fragment of it is more than enough to assimilate the likes of you without any trouble at all.”

The ridicule in Yang Qi’s voice couldn’t have been clearer.

Mu Renwang and Su Xin knew that Yang Qi wasn’t bluffing. Given his level of enlightenment of the Great Necropolis, and his Inheritor status, he was obviously not a person to be underestimated. And if he gained more enlightenment of the Mahātmā Jade, he would be even harder to control.

“You have no choice but to trust me,” Yang Qi repeated. “Hurry up and increase the power of the blessing. I'm going to activate the Mahātmā Jade in a moment, so consider the consequences if you defy me!”

After a very short moment of consideration, Mu Renwang and Su Xin complied.

Whizz!

An even greater stream of power flowed from the Woodfern Couple Palace into Yang Qi, ten times greater than before. At the same time, in keeping with the original agreement, Mu Renwang and Su Xin shouted, “Become a puppet, Yang Qi!”

Seeing what was happening, both Houselord God Bastard and Huangfu Genesis reacted with surprise and dismay. They knew that if the husband and wife team managed to gain control of Yang Qi by means of their blessing, it would be very bad for them.

Everyone watched with keen anticipation as the events played out. Normally speaking, a moment like this would have been the perfect opportunity for someone to launch a sneak attack. However, the scriptures being unleashed by the three great sects made it impossible for anyone to even approach the area.

All of a sudden, Houselord God Bastard spat out a mouthful of pitch-black blood that resounded with the howls of millions upon millions of evil ghosts. The blood entered the Grand Sutra of the God of Sin and Enmity, and instantly caused it to pulse with a highly rancorous energy.

What was sin and enmity? This was sin and enmity!

Meanwhile, a book appeared above Huangfu Genesis’ head, which was none other than the god item that was the Book of Genesis, written by the most powerful of gods in ancient times to describe the creation of the world.

“Everything under heaven!” Huangfu Genesis murmured, and the power of the scripture poured into Yang Qi.

Yang Qi immediately looked like he might crack into pieces; even a god would have trouble accepting the combined power of all these scriptures. Yet, after shivering, Yang Qi seemed fine.

Of course, no one knew it, but dramatic transformations were occurring within the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart as the power he redirected filled the place.

“Be suppressed!” the immortal-slaying clone said, unleashing the strongest godpower of the chart, which caused one of the godhood stars to fall from the sky. Not even the full might of his imperial-heaven pre-beginning powers were enough to suppress this incredible influx.

“Yang Qi, this blessing is so incredible that not even I can keep it under control. If things get out of hand, the explosion might not destroy the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, but it would definitely reveal the fact that we have the chart. And we would then be in a lot of danger. You have to think of a way to get the situation under control.”

“Don't worry, I have an idea. I have multiple methods of redirection that I can use to send the power into the Mahātmā Jade.”

Swoosh....

The clone watched as the Mahātmā Jade flew up and intercepted the immense influx of power.

Then Yang Qi snapped his finger, causing the aura of his Unspoiled Body to also enter the Mahātmā Jade, which then erupted with a massive gravitational force.

“Gravitational force!” Yang Qi murmured. In all of his study of the Mahātmā Jade, he had come to be convinced that the gravitational force the thing could emit was completely and utterly matchless. It could suck in flesh, blood, spirits, and even souls.

Normally speaking, if he activated the jade on his own, he would never be able to escape that gravitational force. But things were different now. With the power of blessing pouring into and becoming a part of him, the Mahātmā Jade had no way of knowing exactly what it was absorbing.

RUUUUMBLE....

It was as if a black hole opened up in the depths of his sea of consciousness, sucking in everything that got close to it.

All of the wild power of the scriptures being used to bless him immediately began flowing inside.

Just how great was the gravitational force exerted by the Mahātmā Jade? From what Yang Qi could tell, as long as his life force aura still existed, the jade would keep trying to gobble him up.

However, there was still plenty more power of blessing.

A cold smile appeared on Yang Qi’s face. “Two Hearts Beat as One; Split the Nascent Divinity; Two Polarities Activated; Invincible in the World....” All of a sudden, his aura expanded, connecting to the nascent divinities of everyone present and tying his life force to theirs. This was one of the spectacular functions of the Wheel of Fate.

“Aaaiiiieee!”

Dozens of experts from the House of God Bastards suddenly let loose agonized shrieks, and looks of disbelief covered their faces. It was as if they had just faced the evilest of fiend-devils, who was trying to suck all the blood out of their bodies.

Their quintessence-blood, vital energy, and even nascent divinities were sucked out of their bodies, vanishing into Yang Qi; the Mahātmā Jade had sucked them up. However, because the jade thought that they were Yang Qi’s soul, it meant that he could use the Wheel of Fate to place his life force within their empty bodies.

“What’s going on?” Houselord God Bastard murmured. Unfortunately, he had no time to react. He could sense his own quintessence vitality beginning to depart from his body, and immediately guessed that Yang Qi had some terrifying item that he was using to protect himself. The houselord instantly drew on a technique to stop the blessing.

However, another scream rang out from the forces of the Genesis Sanctum. Certain old-timers there were howling, as though they had been afflicted with malignant poisons. Unable to struggle or fight, they died almost instantly, causing Huangfu Genesis’ eyes to widen with rage as he coughed up blood.

“What the hell is this kid doing? Stop the blessing!” Huangfu Genesis was already soaked in his own blood, and had clearly been hurt. Sadly for him, his attempts to stop the blessing were completely fruitless.

In only a dozen breaths of time, fully a hundred of the old-timers from the House of God Bastards died, while the Genesis Sanctum lost more than fifty. All aspects of them were sucked into the Mahātmā Jade, and even Houselord God Bastard and Huangfu Genesis found their vital energy being tugged away from them.

Only the Woodfern Couple Palace had no casualties.

Mu Renwang and Su Xin were both thrilled. They were surprised that Yang Qi was this strong, and at the same time, glad to see the House of God Bastards and Genesis Sanctum suffering such heavy losses.

But what exactly was Yang Qi doing? The two of them had no idea.

“Su Xin,” Mu Renwang said privately, “this Yang Qi is incredible, and it's great that he's helping us deal with our enemies. But what happens if he turns on us in the future? What should we do?”

“We need to figure out a way to get rid of him. Once he secures his position, he’ll be impossible to deal with. Let’s wait until he really starts fighting with Houselord God Bastard and Huangfu Genesis, then we can jump in and take advantage of the situation.”

Even as they communicated via divine will, a gravitational force suddenly caused the two of them to lurch in place. Instantly, their vital energy began flowing out of them, and over ten of their old-timers withered into death. Then they heard Yang Qi speaking.

“I control your life, therefore I know the ill intentions you harbor. You think you can wait until I've been injured to swoop in and kill me? It seems I really can’t trust you, Mu Renwang, Su Xin. I don’t see how you two deserve any other fate than destruction. Fine. I'm not going to hold back. Prepare to be assimilated.”

Yang Qi had sensed their killing intent, and knew that they were like a dog that can't stop himself from eating excrement. No matter what, they would plot against him.

The Mahātmā Jade slowly floated up higher in the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, sucking in even more of the incoming power, yet it didn't seem to be even close to breaking. It was as if it could continue absorbing power forever and ever.
