Chapter 480: See How I’m Going to Kill You!

Jiang Yi refined Demon Empress’s Thearch Palace a long time ago, but he never used it before. It was his last resort. Obviously, he couldn’t use it randomly. It was meant to save his life when it came to the crunch.

Right now, the space oscillated; he was unable to instant-shift. His opponent was a peak-stage Vajra Realm martial expert, and he didn’t stand a chance against the absolute master. Naturally, he had to turn to the last resort.

Buzz!

The Thearch Palace was not very big but was not small either. It was about 300 meters in radius. The moment the Thearch Palace appeared in the air, it caused the space to oscillate again. Jiang Yi flashed into the Thearch Palace. Once he got in, he immediately shut the door. The entire Thearch Palace glittered with holy white light.

“Eh?”

Ling Clan Patriarch was sprinting towards here and was bluffed by this Thearch Palace. He took a round of the Thearch Palace before suddenly releasing a finger force. This finger force was twice the power of the previous ones, cracking down the space as it passed by. It was really scary.

Bang!

A crisp sound was heard like a stone hitting onto a stone wall. At the moment, the Thearch Palace was gloriously radiant, releasing enormous pressure which even made Ling Clan Patriarch feel stuffy. To his astonishment, the Thearch Palace was not damaged at all. It returned to its normal condition after flashing.

“Is this… the so-called spirit artifact? No, no way! How can spirit artifact exist in the Stellarsky Domain? This should be a super sacred artifact.”

Ling Clan Patriarch’s face was grave, but his eyes swiftly grew full of radiance and greed. There were very few treasures like this in the entire Stellarsky Domain. If he could have this, even a Heaven Monarch Realm expert couldn’t do anything to him!

“Good stuff! This is definitely not a sacred artifact. Is it a cardinal treasure from the Heaven Fox Continent?”

Jiang Yi was in a room of the Thearch Palace and was filled with surprise as well. In the room, there was a crystal ball of the size of a person’s head. The crystal ball was showing images which depicted exactly what was happening outside the Thearch Palace.

It was the control mechanism of the Thearch Palace. Jiang Yi could see clearly that Ling Clan Patriarch continued to attack the Thearch Palace from the crystal ball. However, no matter how hard he attacked, the Thearch Palace—besides letting out a dazzling flash—was not even shaken. The defense was extremely powerful.

“The Demon Empress once said that this Thearch Palace could resist the attack by peak-stage Vajra Realm martial experts for ten days and ten nights. She wasn’t lying!”

Jiang Yi was amazed in secret, but he didn’t dare to allow Ling Clan Patriarch to keep on attacking.

He had refined the Thearch Palace and was quite familiar to this cardinal treasure. It had a powerful restriction inside and could absorb and store the Heaven and Earth essence force. However, the amount of energy that this crystal ball could store was limited. Every time it blocked an attack, a certain amount of energy would be consumed. Once all the energy was used up, this Thearch Palace would collapse.

Thus, he had to decide now. One hand slapped on the crystal ball, and the entire palace shook and began to fly towards the north. The Thearch Palace was moving at a moderate speed, which was about the same as that of a first-stage Vajra Realm martial expert.

“Huh… still want to escape?”

Ling Clan Patriarch sneered, turned into a stream of light, and followed up. He continued to shoot out finger forces, which was his most basic attack just as Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword. It would not consume too much essence force or soul spirit, and he didn’t believe that this Thearch Palace was impregnable!

At the very least, even if he couldn’t break the palace in a short time, where else can Jiang Yi go?

Would he dare to go to the deep sea? The demon thearch could shatter this Thearch Palace with only one strike. Even he strolled around the Stellarsky Continent, where could Jiang Yi go? Under the protection of the Stellarsky City’s restrictions, even the most powerful treasures could be broken by a relentless attack—let alone this Thearch Palace.

Therefore—!

Such a scene happened on the east sea. A glamorous palace few in the air at high speed, followed by an old man in a dragon robe who was continuously attacking the palace. The palace was shining persistently but was not harmed at all.

One day, two days… three days!

Even Ling Clan Patriarch, with his powerful strength, was exhausted. The essence force used for the ceaseless three-days-and-three-night attack was not a big deal. However, repeating one thing continuously without any break could make one extremely tired and numb.

“It should be broken soon, right?”

When the shield of the Thearch Palace was broken, this super sacred artifact would belong to him. Thinking of this, Ling Clan Patriarch clenched his teeth and pulled himself together to continue his attack! He had to concentrate as Jiang Yi had a very powerful ghost flame. With one mistake, he might be attacked by surprise. Then, both his physical body and his soul would be gone.

Therefore, he didn’t dare to come closer to the Thearch Palace and constantly remained three kilometers away from it. At the same time, the Thearch Palace started to change its flying direction. Instead of going in a straight line, it started to move left and right, up and down. Thus, Ling Clan Patriarch had to pay more attention to fix on the Thearch Palace and determine its flying route in order to make sure every attack would hit the Thearch Palace.

“Haha! Old evil, see how I’m going to kill you!”

Jiang Yi sat leisurely inside the Thearch Palace. He knew exactly how much energy was left in the Thearch Palace, and so he wasn’t worried about it being breached by Ling Clan Patriarch in a short time. In the past two days, he controlled the Thearch Palace to fly up and down to tire the Patriarch out.

It was not far from the Sea of Death. By estimate, they should reach there in at most one and a half day. Jiang Yi started to act now.

Swish!

The Thearch Palace suddenly fell straight down into the sea below, alerting the Patriarch. Jiang Yi never let the Thearch Palace go down the sea these days. Was the energy running out now?

To a martial artist at his level, being under the sea was no different from in the air. He could easily hold his breath for half a month, and so he swiftly followed up. Pointing his fingers to randomly release finger forces, he increased the speed of attack.

Wow!

The Thearch Palace fell into the sea, creating thousands of waves. Soon, it sank under the water and crashed to the seabed.

This place was not the deep sea. The Beast Tide just ended, and so there were very few demonic beasts down here. Still, some demonic beasts were here. Naturally, they were startled when seeing a giant object suddenly fall down. When they saw Ling Clan Patriarch shooting down, they became enraged and rushed to the Patriarch crazily.

The human race was innately in opposition to the demon race. Low-grade demonic beasts and sea demons barely had any intelligence. When they encountered a human, they would attack directly regardless of how powerful their opponent was.

“Hmph!”

Ling Clan Patriarch sneered in secret. These low-grade sea demons were nothing to him. He let out the Emperor Intent and effortlessly suppressed the sea demons. They dared not to come closer.

The problem lied there!

The Emperor Intent was similar to the Massacre Intent. One wouldn’t feel much difference when just releasing it, but it would weaken one’s body and soul spirit if it was released for a long time.

At first, Ling Clan Patriarch didn’t notice this. However, after chasing the Thearch Palace under the sea and continuing to release the Imperial Intent for half a day, the previously weary body became more exhausted.

Humans were not machines. No matter how powerful one became, he still needed to rest and eat to replenish his energy. When one was extremely tensed, their spirits would only be tired out gradually. Ling Clan Patriarch clearly understood this, but he had already gone so far. He had to persevere in the attack while clenching his teeth. He had to continue to release the Emperor Intent to suppress the sea demons; otherwise, he would in greater trouble if the sea demons surrounded him.

One day, two days… three days!

Jiang Yi was 33 kilometers down the sea. Other than the glow of the Thearch Palace and the glimmer of Ling Clan Patriarch’s finger forces, everywhere was dark.

Ling Clan Patriarch was lost; he had no idea where he was. He only chased after the moving Thearch Palace numbly and mechanically. If Jiang Yi led him to the deep sea, he wouldn’t probably notice.

“Haha. Almost here! Good luck to you, old devil!”

Jiang Yi didn’t take Ling Clan Patriarch to the deep sea, in fact!

He had already arrived near the Sea of Death one and a half day ago. However, he was afraid that the Patriarch might be suspicious, so he took him around the Sea of Death for another one and a half day. When his spirit was exhausted to the extreme, Jiang Yi then lured him to the Sea of Death unknowingly.

Tsk! Tsk!

When they just entered the Sea of Death, those black rattans indeed didn’t disappoint Jiang Yi. More than a dozen pieces came out. The majority rushed to the Thearch Palace, the remaining three or four went after Ling Clan Patriarch.
