2040 Killing the Sky-Breaking Monarch (1/2)

Having witnessed the death of the Sky-Breaking Monarch, all the self-cultivators gathered around the scene fell into a shocked silence.

After the silence, a wave of chatter arose.

”See that? The Sky-Breaking Monarch is dead. He's been killed by Qingfeng Li!”

”Of course I saw it! The Sky-Breaking Monarch is one of the Four Supreme Monarchs. He'd even fought the Crimson Fire Monarch for dominion over the planet five thousand years ago.”

”I thought it would be Qingfeng Li who was going to die. But it was the Sky-Breaking Monarch, what a surprise!”

”Didn't you see? Qingfeng Li has reached the half-step saint realm. That's a level of power that could shake up heaven and earth!”

In the distance, all the self-cultivators discussed amongst themselves as they stared at Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with shock and awe.

Before this, they had only heard tales about Qingfeng Li's power. However, now he's killed one of the Monarchs of the Four Supreme Dynasties.

The Crimson Fire Monarch had even issued a monarch decree, promising a half-step saint level technique and a favor to anyone on the entire continent who could hunt down Qingfeng Li. However, now that they had seen him kill the Sky-Breaking Monarch, many of them suppressed the greed that had been bubbling up within them. They knew that, although Qingfeng Li's head was worth a fortune, they would die for sure if they tried anything.

From the sidelines, the Black Monarch Python was terrified by what it had just witnessed. Having watched its Master being killed by Qingfeng Li, it turned and prepared to escape. Even though its tail had been severed by Qingfeng Li, its body was still intact.

Qingfeng Li looked in the direction in which the Black Monarch Python had fled. A cold light danced across his eyes as he released two beams of Yin-Yang light. This was an ability he had gained after practicing the Yin-Yang Saint Technique.

Having reached the half-step saint realm, Qingfeng Li was now very powerful. His attack now contained a hint of saint level energy. In an instant, the light shot onto the Black Monarch Python's body, severing its head. With a shriek of agony, its body fell to the ground, dead.

Qingfeng Li reached toward the dead python's abdomen and released a pulling force, drawing the demon nucleus into his hand.

This was a ninth level monarch realm demon nucleus, something that could greatly boost Sky-Devouring Snake's power. Qingfeng Li casually tossed the demon nucleus in his hand toward his snake companion.

Sky-Devouring Snake's eyes lit up in delight as it opened its maw and caught the demon nucleus in the air.

It knew that this demon nucleus was from the Black Monarch Python that had just been killed. It had belonged to a powerful demonic beast. Once it absorbed this demon nucleus, its power would increase greatly.

With its razor-sharp fangs, Sky-Devouring Snake bit down and cracked the demon nucleus in half. Then, swallowing the thing, it began to use its Snake Ancestor Superpower to break it down.

In just a short while, the entire demon nucleus had been completely dissolved, its immense power absorbed by Sky-Devouring Snake, adding to its demon essence.

Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom…

Sky-Devouring Snake's power grew continuously until, after a short time, it reached the ninth level of the spirit monarch realm.

Sensing the increase in Sky-Devouring Snake's power, Black Puppy's eyes filled with envious admiration. It was now weaker than Sky-Devouring Snake now. If they fought, it would be no match for Sky-Devouring Snake.

Sky-Devouring Snake swung its tail at Black Puppy, whipping it into the air.

Furious, Black Puppy roared, ”Stinking snake! What are you attacking me for?”

Sky-Devouring Snake chuckled. ”You were always picking on me before,” it said. ”Now that I'm stronger, of course I'm going to teach you a lesson.”
