Chapter 1788: Sudden Change
“I’ve been waiting for you,” Qin Hao declared coldly.
“What a troublesome pair you two are,” Tian Qi said with a bitter smile.
There was no point hiding any longer, so he walked out of the spatial rift into the open.
Without any notice, he raised the Scepter of Fate high up.
“Oh no!”
Every expert who saw this frowned drastically. A sense of crisis welled in their hearts.
Qin Hao could sense many strands of invisible threads of fate—threads that could only be perceived through the soul—slithering away from the Scepter of Fate.
They quickly spread throughout the whole Flaming Sun Purgatory.
Every Devil Monarch including Qin Lie was caught by some of the tiny strands. Their fates were being altered by Tian Qi.
Qin Hao was there at Nine Hells Purgatory. He knew just how terrifying Tian Qi’s power of fate was, and how he could single-handedly turn the tides of a battlefield.
“Destroy!”
His expression dark, Qin Hao suddenly moved next to Tian Qi.
His giant nine-level Soul Altar abruptly glowed brightly and filled up the space where Tian Qi was with light.
The light contained the power of destruction. As it turned out, it could dissolve even the Scepter of Fate’s power.
“Sizzle!”
The invisible threads of fate gradually disappeared after they were touched by the Light of Destruction.
“You are a truly loathsome fellow.”
The smile in Tian Qi’s eyes vanished slowly. He used his free arm to point at an empty spot in space.
“Crack crack crack!”
The sky of Flaming Sun Purgatory suddenly burst open as if it was the surface of a frozen lake being punched open by a hard object.
The shattered fragments of space turned into millions of deadly light blades due to Tian Qi’s spatial manipulation power. They flew straight toward Qin Hao’s nine-level Soul Altar.
Extraordinary light exploded from Qin Hao’s nine-level Soul Altar as he backed away slowly from Tian Qi.
Tian Qi tried doing two things at once, attacking Qin Hao with a torrent of spatial blades and affecting the Devil Monarchs’ fates with the Scepter of Fate.
“You again?”
It was at this moment Ling Yushi’s voice suddenly rang from the spatial rift next to Qin Hao.
The light blades flying toward him suddenly froze midair.
A mysterious origin power and law from Spirit Realm forced itself into this space and disrupted Tian Qi’s threads of fate.
Suddenly, Tian Qi discovered that the hand he used to grip the Scepter of Fate was shaking a little.
He stared at the Scepter of Fate in astonishment.
Many dark light fragments with Spirit Realm’s origin aura were entangling themselves around the Scepter of Fate.
They disrupted the laws and order of the scepter and caused his bloodline to become unstable.
The power of fate couldn’t work properly if the weapon itself was out of control.
“As I thought, she’s… a bit different after merging with the Geocentric Motherlode,” Tian Qi said seriously.
“Whoosh!”
The Great Sage suddenly flashed back into the spatial rift. He seemed to have vanished.
Thanks to Ling Yushi’s presence, Qin Hao no longer worried about being thrown into another spatial rift. He immediately chased after Tian Qi with his Soul Altar.
“Hehe, this is getting more and more interesting,” Tian Qi said with a continuous chuckle. He looked at ease, and he seemed certain of victory.
“Roar!”
Near the Origin Sea, the eight Undying Titans suddenly looked at the sky and roared.
They looked like mobile towers and they leaped into the air and charged toward Castor.
“Rumble!”
However, the eight Undying Titans weren’t attacking Castor. They were ambushing the Devil Monarchs and Qin Lie himself.
Everyone including Qin Lie was sent staggering toward Castor’s direction.
Castor laughed sinisterly and seized the opportunity to whip Qin Lie and the Devil Monarchs.
Qin Lie’s waist immediately turned bloody from the attack.
“Qin Lie! What the hell is going on?” Auston screamed.
“Flaming Sun Monarch! Aren’t the eight Undying Titans your subordinates?” the Ghost Sacrificial Monarch also roared.
He was also hurt by Castor’s giant tail. There was a wound about several hundred meters long behind his back.
His veins were as thick as a human arm. They wriggled and healed quickly despite the attack.
If Qin Lie himself wasn’t pounced on by an Undying Titan and attacked by Castor, he would even suspect him of collusion.
The eight Undying Titans’ sudden ambush nearly gave Castor the opportunity to drill a giant hole in Qin Lie’s body.
When he looked into their eyes, a familiar symbol of fire entered his eyes clearly!
He had seen this mark inside the Ancient Life Tree before. It belonged to Lieyan Yuan!
When the eight Undying Titans were still at the Land of Chaos, they were called the eight god corpses.
The eight Undying Titans most likely belonged to Lieyan Yuan to begin with.
Before this, Qin Lie thought that the eight Undying Titans only belonged to him because he had refined them and bound them to him with a soul contract.
But when he saw the fiery mark burning in the eight Undying Titans’ eyes, he finally realized that Lieyan Yuan had probably slipped a slave mark into them before they were decapitated.
The fiery mark was inside the Undying Titans all these time. He never detected it until Lieyan Yuan forced them to his will.
He never expected the eight Undying Titans he spent so much flesh and blood energy to restore to rank ten would fall short during a critical moment like this.
“Whoosh!”
Still shocked, he abruptly sensed the Blaze Family’s Flesh Filling Tombstone flying out of his body.
A fiery mark could be seen burning on one side of the Flesh Filling Tombstone. Again, it was Lieyan Yuan’s symbol!
His body turned cold when the Flesh Filling Tombstone left his body.
The Flesh Filling Tombstone and the eight god corpses had appeared together. In fact, the Flesh Filling Tombstone was the key to unlocking the Graveyard of Gods. This meant that Lieyan Yuan had probably left it behind for him a long time ago.
However, Lieyan Yuan was the first master of the Flesh Filling Tombstone and the eight god corpses!
The fact that he had left behind a unique mark in them was proof!
“Lieyan Yuan!”
Qin Lie roared on top of his lungs, but he could do nothing but watch the Flesh Filling Tombstone depart.
“Rumble!”
The eight god corpses turned around and attacked Qin Lie the moment he tried to chase down the Flesh Filling Tombstone.
“You think you can fight against Lieyan Yuan? You are too young!” Castor sneered at Qin Lie.
He single-handedly stalled Auston and the other Devil Monarchs so that the eight Undying Titans were free to attack Qin Lie.
