Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 672 - 669: Restriction Activated!
Chapter 672: Chapter 669: Restriction Activated!
"Qingyi, do you really think I, Ji Mingkong, am a fool? Trading my thirty billion Spirit Stones for your one billion? Did you think you were the only one who knew what a Divine Stone was?"
Ji Mingkong’s sneer came through, seemingly very pleased, obviously extremely angry at Qingyi’s previous insult. Now venting, he felt relieved.
"It’s not that I wanted to waste so many Black Heart Orbs, but rather that over a hundred Black Heart Orbs exploding at the same time can last a very long time. Otherwise, what makes you think you’re worthy of me using up so many Spirit Stones?"
"Ji Mingkong, you scoundrel, wastrel!!!" ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Qingyi gritted his teeth as he spoke. A Holy Spirit-Level armor appeared on his body, taking the hit from the pillar of fire. The armor kept denting but clearly wouldn’t be destroyed.
Though he had the armor, the force of the impact still caused a tremendous shock to Qingyi’s wrists, though it was not as severe as before, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
However, being in the midst of this pillar of fire severely affected Qingyi’s speed. He saw the Sage’s Skull close at hand, but he just couldn’t break free.
"Hahaha, Qingyi, I’m really sorry, but I’ll gladly take that Sage’s Skull!"
Ji Mingkong laughed loudly as he swiftly passed by Qingyi.
As he passed by, Ji Mingkong gave Qingyi a sneering look. It was this glance that made Ji Mingkong’s pupils suddenly contract.
He saw Qingyi flipping his hand to reveal a golden arm. This was indeed an arm, a real one, not an artifact!
From this arm, Ji Mingkong felt an immense pressure, not the kind of overwhelming force a Dragon Emperor Realm exerts on a Dragon God Realm, but an absolute invincibility, like a god to a mortal.
Ji Mingkong’s breathing suddenly became rapid at this moment, his eyes fixed on the arm, and a tingling sensation emerged from his scalp.
"What is this thing?!!!" Ji Mingkong roared in his mind.
"With your strength, I could easily suppress you. I never thought you would resort to such despicable means, forcing me to bring out this Arm of the Divine. You should be proud!"
Qingyi’s voice came from within the pillar of fire, almost causing Ji Mingkong’s mind to explode.
"This item is one of my trump cards. Each use reduces its power. Using it on you is somewhat wasteful."
Qingyi continued speaking while suddenly tearing off one Seal Talisman from that arm.
There were ten Seal Talismans on the arm, marked as if sealed by someone. At this moment, one Seal Talisman was torn off, and the arm suddenly swelled and instantly grew to a hundred zhang in size.
From afar, an arm a hundred zhang long looked like a massive dark cloud, its fingers like mountains, not pressing towards Ji Mingkong but grabbing directly at the Sage’s Skull.
"Get lost!!!"
Ji Mingkong gritted his teeth. He was about to seize the Sage’s Skull, not expecting Qingyi to have such a trick up his sleeve.
Despite the arm being tremendously shocking, Ji Mingkong couldn’t give up.
He swallowed a pill that seemed of very high grade; his Dragon Power burst forth, forming a giant hand that raced towards the Sage’s Skull along with the huge arm.
Everyone was watching this scene, having lost their chance, they all waited to see who would seize the Sage’s Skull.
At this moment, it seemed the outcome was about to be decided.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two arms, one real and one illusory, reached for the Sage’s Skull at the same time.
But just as they were about to grab it, a sudden beam of light appeared outside the Sage’s Skull!
This light, buzzing loudly, even illuminated the two arms, which were etched with countless runes, densely packed like endless seals.
When the light shone, the runes on it floated down on their own, transforming into an extremely dazzling light, enveloping both the Arm of the Divine and the illusory arm conjured by Ji Mingkong!
At that instant, Su Han, outside the cave, fiercely opened his eyes.
"Has the restriction finally been triggered? It’s much slower than I expected."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The roaring sound from within the light emitted that the Arm of the Divine, although not bleeding, appeared as if most of its flesh had been devoured, looking much shriveled.
The Arm of the Divine was blasted out from the light. Qingyi, sensing the connection, suddenly flew backwards with a thud, spewing seven mouthfuls of blood in succession.
At Ji Mingkong’s side, the conjured arm also burst and vanished. The right hand, which had conjured the arm, was suddenly enveloped by the light, and with a sizzling sound, Ji Mingkong’s right arm was forcefully torn off!
"Ah!!!"
The intense pain caused Ji Mingkong, who was completely unprepared, to scream out in agony.
"Young Master!"
The members of the Ji Family also had their pupils constrict and faces change, expressing their concern with anxious voices.
"I’m fine!"
Sweat leaked from Ji Mingkong’s forehead, but after the initial scream, he suppressed the pain deeply.
The site of the arm had a ferocious wound, torn off so harshly that it was uneven, with a lot of blood flowing out.
For Ji Mingkong, his own injury didn’t matter. What he really cared about was the Sage’s Skull.
"How could this happen?!"
This question virtually rose in the minds of both Qingyi and Ji Mingkong at the same time.
No one had anticipated that such a restriction would appear in the final moments. They were clearly able to retrieve the Sage’s Skull, but the appearance of the restriction not only blocked them but also inflicted severe injuries on them.
Although Qingyi’s injuries were somewhat lighter, this was only relatively speaking. In fact, his internal injuries were severe, and even his Cultivation Base was in disarray, seemingly on the verge of exploding at any moment.
If it weren’t for the handful of pills he swallowed at the last moment, perhaps his Cultivation Base would have actually exploded.
"The Divine Spirits... even in death, they won’t let us be at peace," Qingyi stared at the Sage’s Bones, showing deep wariness.
"However..."
Qingyi’s eyes suddenly sparkled: "According to the elders from Nine Heavens Tower, usually in places where such light barriers exist, there’s nearly a fifty percent chance of treasures being present. These Sage’s Bones must’ve had restrictions placed by themselves before death, their treasures... are all still here!"
Thinking this, a strong greed surged in Qingyi’s heart. Even though he had already suffered a setback, he didn’t care too much about it.
Compared to that, the treasures of the Saint were even more precious than the Sage’s Skull.
Though the Sage’s Skull was very useful, exactly what that use was, they did not know.
But a Saint’s treasure was a genuine Supreme Treasure; once acquired, it would allow them to soar to the heavens!
