Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks (Web Novel) - Chapter 954 Ruler of God’s Palace
Chapter 954 Ruler of God’s Palace
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
There was a special effect on Emperor Sword that Li Yi had yet to unlock. Now that the sword was in the hands of its former owner, its most mysterious property was revealed.
Li Yi followed Aragon into the Death God’s Palace and displayed before them was the ten Superior Gods kneeling on the ground, trembling in fear.
“Buzz buzz…”
The Emperor Sword shimmered in brilliant white light. It was the power of this sword that threw these ten gods on their feet.
The Emperor Sword was a divine weapon bestowed by the Ruler of Gods. It was not just effective on mere mortals but gods as well.
Aragon heaved. “Quickly, this sword can’t hold up for long…”
Without any hesitation, Li Yi transformed into a Lightning Leopard and sprinted ahead.
The Emperor Sword may be able to restrain ten gods, but it would not be for long. These ten gods could break free at any given moment.
Bolt out of there, bolt away!
“Lending in your light, let me bask in your reflected glory, thank you…”
“Ah!”
At the front of the Death God’s Palace, appeared two figures. One was The Mountain while the other was Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. They went into an all-out sprint the moment they realized the situation in the palace, trailing behind Li Yi, basking in his reflected glory.
About two minutes later, Li Yi was the first to make it out of the Death God’s Palace, followed by Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and The Mountain, respectively. She took possession of a Thunder Beast for a mad dash. It was not slow speed-wise but, compared to Li Yi, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut still had to work hard to keep up.
Clang!
A giant sword flew out of the Death God’s Palace and upon landing, transformed into Aragon.
“Here’s your sword.”
Aragon handed over the dimmed Emperor Sword to Li Yi.
“I have activated the last Divine Spell on this sword. Once its powers recover, you’ll be able to use it freely.”
“How long does it take for the sword to recover?”
Aragon fell deep into thought. “The shortest will be half a year, the longest is probably a few years.”
Li Yi. “…”
The Mountain and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut never accepted the Missing Aragon quest so theoretically speaking, they should not be able to see Aragon. However, it was different this time. Perhaps it was due to the trigger of the Mount Pantheon quest that Aragon was visible to them and able to make conversation.
The Mountain chuckled. “No wonder you’re able to clear the stage this quickly. You had help from the Blademaster.”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut curled several strands of hair over her ear lobe before walking straight.
Up ahead was the Ruler of Gods’ Palace.
Li Yi was feeling helpless. It was he who had cleared the stage, yet it gave way to The Mountain and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. The thing that set him off the most was the absent display of gratitude from the duo. They really took him for granted.
The least they could do was say thank you, right?
“Hey gorgeous, stop right there!”
Li Yi yelled and caught up to Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut only stared back at him, waiting for him to speak up.
Not saying a word, Li Yi walked alongside her for a dozen meters before Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut lost her cool. “What did you call me for?”
“Nothing.”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. “…”
“Lil’ Purple, I’ve been trying to tell you…”
The Mountain also caught up, but Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut picked up the pace to ditch him.
Li Yi spread his arms apart. “Did you see that? She treats me a little better than you.”
The Mountain helplessly shook his head. “It’s not just a little, it’s waaayyy better.”
“I’ve had something cooped up inside me for five to six years and I’ve been trying to tell her, but she won’t let me.”
Li Yi found it hard to comprehend. “How hard could it be? You can say it now.”
“She won’t listen, I’ll be talking for nothing.”
“Then you tell me, I’ll tell her.”
“You? Just forget it…” The Mountain answered with an embarrassed look on his face.
Szh —
While the two were engaged in conversation, another luminous ring was added onto The Mountain.
The Mountain smiled. “Another Great God’s Brilliance but there’s no use for them now.”
With only the Ruler of Gods’ Palace remaining, The Mountain was unlikely to fly over with a Great God’s Brilliance.
In fact, he did not even make use of a Great God’s Brilliance to pass through the Life God’s Palace.
“Why do you always get it, but I don’t?”
“Character and credibility, my friend. You told me this three years ago, do you remember?”
“Three years ago? Did I know you then?” Li Yi’s memory was muddled by The Mountain.
“You know me, but you don’t know me. It’s not important. There’s only one thing that’s important and that’s credibility, brother.”
“Huh?”
In laughter and conversation, they finally arrived at the last sanctuary on Mount Pantheon, the Ruler of Gods’ Palace.
“This is the peak of Mount Pantheon. The origin of the Pantheon, the Pantheon Mystery!”
Aragon, out of nowhere ran towards the entrance of the Ruler of Gods’ Palace, with his hands behind his back, full of emotions.
It was then that Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut entered.
A rainbow announcement made it to World Channel.
[Player Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut is the first to step foot into the Ruler of Gods’ Palace. Let us congratulate her!]
Li Yi was about to take a step in when The Mountain blocked him with his arm. “Brother, let me go in first!”
“Huh?”
“I like to be second[1].”
Stealing the chance while Li Yi was momentarily gobsmacked, The Mountain ran in.
The rainbow announcement made another appearance.
[Player The Mountain is the second to step foot into the Ruler of Gods’ Palace. Let us congratulate him!]
Li Yi laughed and walked in as well.
[Player Dark Wing’s the third to step foot into the Ruler of Gods’ Palace. Let us congratulate him!]
[This feat has been recorded in the Pantheon Hall of Fame…]
The Ruler of Gods’ Palace was decked out pretty grand. It was a dazzling line-up of gold, gems, and pearls.
In the main hall, Li Yi saw two familiar faces.
Ghostly Walker and the Weapon Warrior were standing side by side. By the look of it, they had been waiting for some time now.
Right in the center of the Ruler of Gods’ Palace was a grand golden chair. On it sat a gorgeous woman dressed in a golden battle robe and holding a full moon scepter. She was God-queen Carulla.
When Li Yi saw God-queen Carulla in full battle wear, the first thought that crossed his mind was, ‘Fuck me, isn’t that Athena…’
There were only a few people inside the Ruler of Gods’ Palace. With silence filling the room, the place seemed cold and vast.
Where was the Ruler of Gods?
Li Yi and The Mountain exchanged glances. They shared the same thought.
There was only God-queen Carulla on the golden chair. The final big boss, the Ruler of Gods, of King of Pantheon was nowhere to be seen.
“Silence, mortals who have entered. Step aside,” demanded God-queen Carulla.
Although Li Yi was pleased with her changed wardrobe, deep loathing still overcame him the moment Carulla spoke.
There was no use for the change of wardrobe. The God-queen before them was no different than before.
“Lowly demon, this is not a place for you. Scram!”
God-queen Carulla pointed her scepter at Aragon, blasting a crescent-shaped divine radiance that cast Aragon out of the palace.
After a long while, Aragon stood up outside the palace. He smeared the blood on his lips and hesitated for a moment but did not step foot into the Ruler of Gods’ Palace.
The disparity of strength between them was too large. Carulla’s earlier blow turned his max HP to 1. It was plain to see the fate he would suffer if he were to barge in.
“Hi both of you, you guys got here quick. I’m impressed.”
Waving at Ghostly Walker and the Weapon Warrior, The Mountain leaned in shamelessly.
“Boy, how old are you? Are you at least 14? Surely… you haven’t grown hair down there yet? Weapon Warrior, do you dare to show your name? Sigh, why aren’t you talking?”
Facing the relentless nagging of The Mountain, Ghostly Walker and the Weapon Warrior turned their heads away.
Anyone could tell that they were ignoring The Mountain, yet it did not occur to The Mountain. He pestered on with thick skin, making conversations with the two mutes.
Li Yi and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut exchanged glances and smiled.
There was a question troubling Li Yi. When did Ghostly Walker and the Weapon Warrior arrive at the Ruler of Gods’ Palace and how did they get here so fast?
Li Yi sent a message to Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. “Miss Purple, don’t you find Ghostly Walker and that Weapon Warrior strange?”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut sent a question mark. “?”
“We cleared the checkpoints rather quickly, right? But what did they do to be faster?”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut agreed, “It is strange.” She then added, “So what?”
“Er…”
The message sent Li Yi choking.
It seemed this woman was not fit for conversation. Compared to Bai Xiaoya, that b*tch, it was a world of a difference in talking.
Li Yi’s impression of Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut changed.
“Oh right, what did you eat this morning? I had fried dough sticks and jellied bean curd, from Xu stall. Add in some garlic and the taste is heavenly…”
The Mountain continued chattering at Ghostly Walker and the Weapon Warrior until their brows were brought together, foreheads wrinkling. They kept turning away, turning away, and turning away…
Another ten minutes passed, and two players entered the Ruler of Gods’ Palace.
Amber Sword Heart and Unending Unmatched.
This pair of main tank mortal enemies even cleared the stage at a similar speed.
After a while, Brother Windcloud Nine, Qian’er, Brother Simon, and Jiggly made it to the Ruler of Gods’ Palace in a similar fashion.
The first sanctuary was not hard while the most difficult Death God’s Palace was nothing before a Great God’s Brilliance.
Li Yi felt dejected over this thought. Just as Qian’er arrived at the Ruler of Gods’ Palace, the long-awaited Great God’s Brilliance descended upon him.
Being at the end of the checkpoint, a Great God’s Brilliance was no use to him now. Li Yi could only bury his sadness in his heart.
“Hello, hello, I’m Jiggly.”
Out of all the players, the most enthusiastic was Fake Fengxi, Jiggly. He shook hands with everyone in sight, getting familiar with all the players present.
Jiggly walked towards The Mountain. “Brother Mountain.”
“You’re here, Lil B.”
“Cough, I’m Jiggly now.”
Disrupted by Jiggly, The Mountain finally disengaged his talkative mode and stopped chatting with Ghostly Walker and the Weapon Warrior. He pulled Jiggly and walked towards Li Yi.
“Lil B’s an old brother of mine, he’s been with me longer than Lil Wang.”
Li Yi smiled. “Lil B? Isn’t he called Jiggly?”
“Hehe, He obtained a rare tool to change his name at will when he entered the game. The name you see now isn’t his original name. Lil B, why don’t you reveal your real name to us?”
“A name is only a code name. It doesn’t matter what anyone’s called.” Jiggly gently smiled.
The Mountain smiled and looked around him. “Little Drunk Cat’s really doing well. So many of you have arrived. Hehe, you’re stronger than my former Huashan Sect.”
The Mountain added, “My former Huashan Sect has four great masters. Do you know who they are?”
Li Yi nodded. “I really want to know.”
The Mountain gestured four fingers. “East, South, West, North!”
The Mountain then use another hand to point at Jiggly. “He was one of the great masters in the former Huashan Sect. His real name is BB East[2]!”.
