Chapter 811 - Meeting Suzerains of Hell

It took a huge amount of power to start the Engine of the One God. True, Yang Qi had picked up quite a bit of power from the Aeonic God Temple, as well as the passageway to the Primeval Age. Unfortunately, even just the initial clash with the Five Great Lokapālas was quite draining, and Yang Qi wasn’t inclined to continue that trend. Even if he completely drained himself, he didn’t think he would be able to kill them.

Instead, he would conserve as much power as possible to use on the Four Emperors of the Heavenly Court.

Thanks to Sectlord Nine Yangs, he knew that the four emperors were conniving against him with the lord of the Unrestrained Heaven. They had set up deadly spell formations in the Heaven-Dao Operation God-Temple that would prevent him from escaping into the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart. Then, when he was stuck, eight top experts would all attack him at the same time. It would be a dangerous, tricky situation, that was for sure.

That said, he had strategies of his own to rely on.

For one thing, it seemed unlikely that the lord of the Unrestrained Heaven and his four suzerains of hell were completely in line with the Four Emperors of the Heavenly Court. They had their own goals and motivations, including the ultimate desire to take down the four emperors, gain more power in the Dao Defense League, and harvest universal fortune.

That said, universal fortune wasn’t an easy thing to seize, especially for those who followed the dao of devils. As such, Yang Qi just needed to find the right weak spot to strike at.

Back in the Sage Monarch Heaven, Yang Qi reached out to Patriarch Annalist with divine will and asked, “How is your cultivation base? Have you fully recovered?”

Patriarch Annalist was on the same level as Grand Emperor Myriadmagic Heavenspan; both of them were apex-level cultivators. He had been around since ancient times, and his enlightenment regarding daoist magic and energy arts surpassed Yang Qi’s by a significant margin.

Thankfully, Yang Qi had more experience than the average person, and had encountered much good fortune. He had absorbed the seven gods from the Aeonic God Temple, and although he had not fully assimilated all of their magic and power, he had definitely pushed his energy arts to roughly the same level as Patriarch Annalist.

Right now, he understood things far more clearly than before and had resolved all of his previous issues and areas of ignorance.

“I'm fully recovered,” Patriarch Annalist said, “and have even progressed a bit. Given some time, I’ll definitely be able to defeat Grand Emperor Myriadmagic Heavenspan in a fight.” He sighed. “There’s an old poem from the mortal world that says, each generation will produce talented individuals; their dissertations will be passed down for centuries. We outdated old-timers need to step aside for the next generation. In each new age, new elites will rise up.”
