The howl of agony Torch Dragon let out when he was dying shook the thousands of stars in the void. As a result, the entire Fiend Slaying Sword Formation was trembling violently. As Wu Qi’s mind was connected with the formation, his body was shivering too, and even his divine soul was greatly shaken. But, since he had just devoured Torch Dragon’s souls, which had significantly strengthened his divine soul, he was not hurt by the impact.

Looking at the dead body, Wu Qi could not help but shake his head.

In the Chaotic World before Pangu created the world, Torch Dragon was a very famous almighty expert. When he opened his eyes there was daylight, and when he shut his eyes there was night. At that time, he was regarded as the existence who had the biggest opportunity to break through all the shackles and gain true great freedom and great power. Compared with Ao Buzun, the obscene dragon’s notorious reputation, his reputation was high enough to rank among the top ten Chaos Fiend Gods.

Unfortunately, time brought great changes to everything. For some reason, Torch Dragon had offended the Sacred Emperor of the human race, and was imprisoned in Great Yu by Xuanyuan with a very powerful restrictive magic. His once formidable fleshly body, which was even stronger than Pangu, had decayed to the current state. From the looks of it, the strength of his body was at most at the level of a Primordial expert, tens of thousands of times weaker than his prime.

Nevertheless, his soul was much stronger than it was then, after he had cultivated the mystic art that split it into three. That was why he could use his soul’s power to free his fleshly body from Xuanyuan’s restriction. But then, he foolishly handed one of them out—the old one—which was subsequently devoured by Wu Qi who never played by the book.

After that, the remaining two of his souls were mobbed by a crowd. They were, after all, the materialization of his souls. Therefore, they could not fight as well as his fleshly body. Even though they were the souls of a Chaos Fiend God, they were still weaker compared to the fleshly body. At the end of the fierce battle, his souls were severely wounded and forced to flee with the golden lotus throne given to him by Amitabha.

He got what he deserved. Wu Qi might have faced some trouble if he were using a life-saving artifact given by any other Buddha, but he was using the golden lotus throne given by Amitabha. With little effort, Wu Qi had seized the throne and devoured his souls in the process.

“What a pity! He was a famous almighty expert in the Chaotic World, with a reputation far greater than me in my previous life. Why did he have to come to this miserable end?” Staring at Ao Buzun and the others, who were frantically gnawing on Torch Dragon’s body, Wu Qi cried out in a hurry, “Hey! You can eat the flesh, but leave his teeth, bones, skins, scales, and tendons for me! I need to give them to Supremacy Three Flame so he can craft us some artifacts!”

Torch Dragon’s true form was hundreds of thousands of miles long, and his tendons were of the same length. Although his flesh had decayed after so many years in captivity, his tendons still concentrated most of the essence of his body. Wu Qi wondered how many powerful bows he could add to Dong Hai Army with it. Especially Bai Qi, Li Xin, and the other generals, each of them should have a mighty bow as generals!

Torch Dragon’s teeth, bones, skins, and scales were the best materials for artifact refinement. Although Wu Qi dared not say he could produce Spirit Artifacts of Chaos with them, he was confident that he could produce many Innate Spirit Artifacts. Soon, the weapons and armors used by many of Dong Hai’s important people could be upgraded.

Even his blood was a great ingredient for pills. Seeing how Ao Buzun and the others were ravaging the corpse, Wu Qi flew over hurriedly and produced a jade bottle with huge capacity. With that, he began to extract Torch Dragon’s blood swiftly. With such a colossal body, the total volume of blood in the dragon’s body was equivalent to the water in tens of great rivers. It took him a long time to finally draw it all into the bottle.

Just as he had drained the blood, Wu Qi suddenly sensed something happening in the void.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. With a wave of his hand, the 108,000 Kunwu Swords flew back into his body. The formation was unraveled, revealing the bright blue sky outside. Torch Dragon was slain, and the Sun and Moon Torch was trapped in midair with a powerful restrictive magic by Wu Qi, no longer emitting the terrible hot blue light. The imperial palace, which had been burned into a sea of lava, had solidified into a gigantic rock mass that was as flat as a whetstone.

When Great Yu’s subjects hovering midair saw the barren rock mass, their faces turned extremely unsightly; it was as if they were slapped in the faces. The Kings of the council, including King Yang Shan, turned green, then pale, and back to green again. Suddenly, a few hot-tempered Kings failed to control the blood that rushed up their throats, opening their mouths and coughing out globs of steaming blood.

“This is outrageous!” Standing next to King Yang Shan, King Gu Shan’s eyes rolled backward, and he collapsed to the ground in the next instant. The anger had knocked him out. His personal guard rushed up to save him, shoving various life-saving pills into his mouth.

Plumes of purple mist began to pour over from all directions. They stretched as far as the eye could see, and each was hundreds of miles in thickness. When they traveled across the void, the air was filled with the sound of deafening thunderclaps. An immense pressure of heaven and earth had frozen everyone in midair. Of all the people present, only Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le managed to move their fingers.

Only the existences of Dao Breaking realm could barely resist the power of the heaven and earth.

The rolling plumes of purple mist gathered over the crowd, and then began to spin rapidly, forming into nine purple cloud vortexes that blanketed this part of the sky. They produced a deep, muffled rumble and engulfed the world with a dazzling purple light, smearing the whole You Xiong Plain deep-purple.

Accompanied by a melodious tune, immense virtues fell from the sky and moved quickly toward Wu Qi, Ao Buzun, and the others. All those who took part in the attack on Torch Dragon were seeing virtues coming down at them. Wu Qi, who had devoured Torch Dragon’s three souls and caused his death, saw a massive stream of virtues pouring down toward him like a great river. The vast streams of golden energy whistled through the void, giving everyone an impression as if the heaven was collapsing and the ground was shattering, the chaotic energy in the outer domain rushing into this world. Although they were virtues bestowed by the heaven and earth, they came with a menacing momentum as if they were about to destroy everything.

Suddenly, Wu Qi raised his hand and cried out in a deep voice, “Listen to me, heaven and earth! I dare not take the credit alone!”

As his hand raised above his shoulder, the virtues suddenly froze in midair. Not only him, even Ao Buzun and the others did not receive anything. After that, he reached out another hand, pulling Huang Liang over to him, who was suspended in midair and unable to move.

He curled a finger, and a stream of golden energy immediately plunged into Huang Liang’s body, who had cultivated the True Body of Heaven and Earth Scripture to the peak-level of the Nine Stars Realm of Second Pangu Heaven. “It’s killing me! I’m going to explode!” cried Huang Liang in panic.

The virtues formed a golden halo behind Huang Liang’s head, the light of virtues. A loud snapping sound was coming out from inside his body as Pangu Sacred Energy slithered through his meridians, opening up all the nodes, joints, and barriers. Hot streams ran like burning mercury through him. A few moments later, two beams of purple light burst out of his eyes. He had stepped out of the realm of Second Pangu Heaven and into the First Star Realm of the Third Pangu Heaven.

Blood was trickling down from Wu Qi’s seven orifices. Forcibly holding back the virtues bestowed by the heaven and earth and channeling them to others was like a toddler trying to turn a huge grindstone. Therefore, Wu Qi’s body and divine soul were under a great pressure. Just as he had boosted Huang Liang’s cultivation base and could hardly resist the Heavenly Dao’s counter-attack, Princess Zhang Le pressed her palms against his back, sending a huge amount of divine power into him. With that, a five-colored divine ray thrust out from the top of Wu Qi’s head.

He threw away Huang Liang, then pulled others over, including the famous generals of the six states such as Li Mu, Lian Po, Bai Qi, Li Xin, Wang Jian, and the famous courtiers such as Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Guigu’zi, Xun Kuang, and Mo Di. The virtues were split into hundreds of rolling streams and injected into these men. After that, Wu Qi produced the Dark Yin Celestial Tower and sent those who cultivated the cultivation techniques of the immortals into it.

Bai Qi and all the other military generals had changed to cultivate the True Body of Heaven and Earth Scripture, which had been thoroughly modified by Wu Qi. But, Su Qin and the others were still cultivating the orthodox immortal magic. If Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le had not worked together to hide their auras with talismans made of Primal Purple Energy, King Yang Shan and the others would have discovered that something was wrong with them. But now, as they were about to break through into the realm of Primordial with the help of the virtues, the talismans could no longer conceal their auras. Wu Qi had no other choice but to send them into his interstitial world, so they could make their breakthroughs there.

Even after all of this was done, much of the virtues in the void remain unconsumed. So, Wu Qi opened his mouth and sucked them all over. Part of them was poured into Xiang Yu and Huhai, who were cultivating in his interstitial world, and the rest into an artifact he had condensed with the Primal Purple Energy. It was an essential ingredient in crafting powerful artifacts, and he could not waste such a precious resource.

The assassination of the Human Emperor was a deed against heaven, so Torch Dragon had accumulated a lot of evil karma. Had it not been for the golden lotus throne given to him by Amitabha, he would have been exposed because of the monstrous evil karma. That was the reason why the Heavenly Dao immediately bestowed Wu Qi and the others with virtues after they had killed him. The amount of the virtues was so huge that it was more than enough to make a batch of the most important courtiers of the six states break through to a higher realm. It was a pleasant surprise for Wu Qi indeed.

Finally, the Heavenly Dao’s pressure slowly faded away, and King Yang Shan and the others regained their mobility.

“Torch Dragon has been slain! He confessed that he had attacked and murdered His Majesty from behind!” Wu Qi cried out in a deep voice.

Torch Dragon’s colossal body lay sprawled on the ground, and Ao Buzun and the others were frantically devouring his flesh. There was no need for Wu Qi to tell them that the dragon was dead, as they could see it with their own eyes. King Yang Shan, who was quite annoyed and furious, growled, “Are there any other murderers beside Torch Dragon? Who are they?”

Wu Qi’s eyes flickered. He was just about to consider what to say when King Xin Shan, whose face had grown unsightly, snapped, “King Dong Hai, now that Torch Dragon has been slain, hurry up and hand over his natal artifact, the Sun and Moon Torch! It is a Supreme Artifact of Primal, not something that a common king like you can lay hands on!”

Wu Qi was dumbfounded, and he squinted at King Xin Shan. ‘Aye, I didn’t expect his reaction to be so quick! So, he has started to kick up a fuss…Well, he is shrewd enough!’

He made no answer, but then King Li Shan, who wore a similar expression as King Xin Shan, shouted as well, “My imperial brother has his point. King Dong Hai, hurry up and hand over the Sun and Moon Torch!” Before Wu Qi could speak, he had launched himself at the torch, which was shaking violently as it tried to break free.

Wu Qi laughed coldly and murmured under his breath, “Oh, you guys want to take this artifact from me?”

Right in front of all of Great Yu’s subjects, Wu Qi flew up to King Li Shan and kicked him away.
