Chapter 467 - 246: 4 Continents, 1 Lord
The next moment.
Li Mutian’s body started to age at a rate visible to the naked eye.
His flesh and blood rapidly shriveled away.
The light in his eyes grew increasingly dim.
’Is he suffering from a backlash?!’
A glint flashed in Wang Xiao’s eyes.
He knew that a Tier Eight Life could not yet completely control a Marvel.
Forcibly using it could trigger a backlash from the Marvel.
Naturally, he would not show the slightest mercy. He seized upon the instant Li Mutian was suffering the backlash from the Heaven-Flipping Seal.
He immediately activated his Ninefold Divine Domain!
CLANG!
In that instant.
The Celestial Pillar connected to the Ninefold Divine Domain tore through space and slashed towards Li Mutian.
BANG—
Li Mutian had already expended a huge amount of Destiny to activate the Heaven-Overturning Strike.
Furthermore, the King’s Dao he cultivated relied on Destiny for its power.
As a result, his strength was already greatly diminished.
Coupled with the backlash, he naturally couldn’t withstand this strike from Wang Xiao.
His physical body instantly disintegrated, turning into fine dust.
Wang Xiao’s Divine Thought surged forth. With a wave of his hand, he pulled Li Mutian’s Divine Soul into his grasp.
Afterward.
Taking advantage of the soul’s weakness, he immediately performed a Soul Search!
VMMM!
In that instant.
Wang Xiao quickly scanned through the vast memories of Li Mutian’s entire life.
As expected of a titan who had lived for nearly one hundred thousand years, the sheer volume of his memories far surpassed anyone Wang Xiao had ever used Soul Search on before!
If not for how incredibly solid his Great Daoist Nascent Soul was, the drain from the Soul Search alone would have been too much for him to withstand.
A moment later.
A flicker passed through Wang Xiao’s eyes. He had finally found the information he wanted.
’No wonder that guy said one must defeat all under heaven to ascend to the Upper Realm. So that’s the reason.’
A look of understanding appeared in Wang Xiao’s eyes.
From Li Mutian’s memories, he learned that the Supreme Treasure the gods fought over back then had ultimately shattered into many fragments.
Four of these fragments were hidden in the Underworlds of the Four Continents!
To ascend, one needed to use the power of these Treasure Fragments.
This made traveling to each of the Underworlds unavoidable!
As things stood,
The Underworld of each continent was controlled by its respective supreme faction.
To enter the Underworld and use the Supreme Treasure Fragment hidden inside, one would have to defeat each of these supreme factions.
Otherwise.
On what grounds would these supreme factions let you enter their Underworld?!
It had to be understood.
The Underworld was the very foundation of a supreme faction’s control over its continent.
’Gather all four fragments, use one’s own immense power, and it’s possible to open a passage between realms and ascend to the Upper Realm.’
Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not yet capable of accomplishing this.
He would have to wait until he broke through to the Fate-Knowing Realm, at the very least.
’There’s no rush, though. I still have nearly two thousand years left here. That’s more than enough time.’
With a wave of his hand, Wang Xiao also pulled the Heaven-Flipping Seal into his grasp.
This was a rare Marvel, one of exceptional importance even to a Tier Nine Life.
However, he couldn’t bring this Marvel back with him. He could only find a suitable opportunity to let the Book of Space-Time refine it.
’It seems the Chaos Cyan Lotus also erased the ownership imprint on this Heaven-Flipping Seal.’
’It seems the power of the Chaos Cyan Lotus is even greater than I imagined. Truly worthy of being an Immortal Object!’
Wang Xiao stored the Heaven-Flipping Seal within his body, then strode out of the Bronze Hall.
「Outside the Bronze Hall.」
Li Tianhe watched Wang Xiao walk out and couldn’t help but ask:
"Brother Wang, how did it go?"
He had faintly heard a huge commotion from inside just now, and he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
The Bronze Hall was protected by an extremely strong defensive Barrier.
And yet, a commotion that massive had still erupted from within.
He was worried that Wang Xiao had already come to blows with his father, the Emperor.
Wang Xiao looked at Li Tianhe and said indifferently:
"The Jade Emperor is dead."
"D-dead?"
Li Tianhe’s pupils contracted violently, his face a mask of disbelief.
’Even if Father failed his tribulation, his lifespan shouldn’t have run out this quickly, right?’
Wang Xiao explained truthfully,
"He tried to possess my body and revive his soul, so I killed him."
After a pause.
He continued:
"Your Highness, I have a proposal. I wonder if you’re interested."
Li Tianhe was still in a daze, and upon hearing this, he subconsciously asked:
"What proposal?"
Wang Xiao said indifferently:
"It’s a real pity for the Great Li Dynasty to be confined to the Southern Continent."
"Would Your Highness be interested in having all the Four Continents bow to a single master?!"
