Top enlightenment at 100 years old-Chapter 559 - 558: Half-Step Ninth-Tier Monster
"A single word for revenge sheds light on everything for Ji Haoyuan.
His expression turned slightly stern, as he gazed coldly at Saint Monarch Fenglie:
"Saint Monarch Fenglie, you should know why I killed him back in the Celestial Tomb.
He was the one who turned to the Divine Ruins first and tried to attack me, so I acted.
Now you come to me because of this, don’t you think that’s a bit excessive?"
There was no change in the expression of Saint Monarch Fenglie.
He simply looked at Ji Haoyuan, speaking indifferently:
"I already said, I sought you out for personal grievances, for revenge.
Right or wrong, regardless of the reason, it means nothing to me."
His indifference to right or wrong instantly darkened Ji Haoyuan’s face.
It was clear that his opponent had no intention to reason with him.
If that’s the case, there’s really nothing left to say.
Right now, he was no match for him.
But he noted this grievance well.
When given the chance, he certainly wouldn’t spare the opponent.
Thinking of this, the Soul Annihilation Spear in Ji Haoyuan’s hand trembled fiercely.
Terrifying Qi Mechanisms rippled, placing a hint of seriousness on Saint Monarch Fenglie’s face.
Yet he still showed no intention of retreating.
Wind and fire elements surged around him, forming a blade clad in blazing flames, slashing towards Ji Haoyuan.
"I don’t know why you possess the Profound Celestial Treasure.
But do you think, with your cultivation, how long you can wield it?"
"That’s none of your concern."
With a deafening crash.
Deep spear light collided with the blazing flame blade, promptly exploding in the starry sky.
The space shattered into countless fragments.
Ji Haoyuan’s figure retreated rapidly.
He felt his bones and organs trembling within him.
His blood churned.
Indeed.
With his current cultivation, he wasn’t an opponent for Saint Monarch Fenglie.
Yet with the foundation and depth he had established, and possessing the Profound Celestial Treasure, it wasn’t easy for the opponent to take him down swiftly.
Boom! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
After another collision, Ji Haoyuan’s figure swiftly retreated.
His entire being transformed into countless bubbles, scattering outward.
Seeing this, Saint Monarch Fenglie’s eyes turned even colder.
Two collisions, honestly, shocked him as well.
Never expected, just a Harmonization, could repeatedly withstand his assaults.
Judging by the opponent’s cultivation, he clearly was only at the early stage of Harmonization.
If given more time to grow, how fearsome could he become?
Hence.
At this moment, even if for no other reason, Saint Monarch Fenglie intended to thoroughly eliminate Ji Haoyuan.
Rumble!
Flames soared.
Ji Haoyuan burst out from within.
Yet wounds appeared all over his body now.
Including many scorched marks.
This fueled his anger even further.
"Old dog, I’ve noted today’s score.
Someday, I will repay it in full!"
While speaking, his form grew faint.
Behind him, Saint Monarch Fenglie’s expression turned frosty.
He coldly declared: "You won’t have another day, today, I will leave you here utterly."
As his words fell, a piercing blue light surged from Saint Monarch Fenglie’s hand.
Simultaneously.
A crimson flag crashed from the sky.
With a roar.
Instantly, a fire sea engulfed the skies.
It was an artifact nearing the Profound Celestial Treasure.
Ji Haoyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Just as he was ready to use the life-saving talisman given by Luo Changsheng, both he and Saint Monarch Fenglie’s hearts suddenly clenched.
Almost instinctively, the two quickly concealed their auras.
Their figures rapidly retreated into the distance.
Just as they left the spot.
The void they were in shattered suddenly.
Followed by the abrupt appearance of a cosmic monster, massive as dozens of stars, covered in tentacles and spikes, resembling a colossal octopus.
The aura of this monster was immensely terrifying.
Its mere presence exerted vast pressure on Ji Haoyuan and Saint Monarch Fenglie.
This monster’s tier likely neared the ninth stage, the so-called Immortal realm.
Yet in a tranquil starry sky, why would such a monster abruptly appear?
Neither Ji Haoyuan nor Saint Monarch Fenglie had ever seen such a creature.
What exactly was it?
For a moment, a shadow of dread fell over their hearts.
"Roar!"
Just then, a deep roar erupted from the monster.
Ji Haoyuan and Saint Monarch Fenglie watched in shock as mouths emerged on its tentacles.
Each mouth was enormous, lined with sharp teeth.
They all inhaled forcefully.
Huala!
Enormous whirlpools appeared in the air.
They watched in alarm as the space was voraciously consumed.
In mere moments, tens of thousands of miles of space vanished completely.
Yet what terrified them most wasn’t the disappearance of space, but that it didn’t restore.
It’s known that whether in a cultivation world or this vast starry space, environments possess self-repair mechanisms.
For instance, space.
Once shattered or destroyed in battle, it would gradually restore over time.
However, the situation before Ji Haoyuan and Saint Monarch Fenglie wasn’t such.
That swallowed space had turned chaotic, eternally vanished, never to recover.
If this monster continues devouring space.
Soon, the Lower Realm might be entirely annihilated.
This is a monster capable of eradicating worlds, even universes.
If possible, it must be swiftly killed, preventing its growth and roaming.
The only question now.
Is there only one such monster, or are there many?
If the former, then fine, if the latter...
Suddenly.
Ji Haoyuan saw Saint Monarch Fenglie rapidly fleeing into the distance.
This left him momentarily stunned, swiftly realizing something, his expression shifted.
No time to linger, he swiftly followed suit, escaping.
With a thunderous crash.
The void they previously occupied was devoured again, reverting to chaos.
