Chapter 1817 Pearl's Command
Yan Yating's sword slash took the form of a giant four-legged beast that flew across the air toward the Emperor.
The Emperor's spear attack was one that always took the shape of a dragon. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
The two attacks clashed in the sky and the world seemed to lose its color upon impact. Reality warped where the two attacks touched each other and ripples were sent through space that broke and reformed immediately.
"How long do you wish to keep this up?" the Dragon Emperor asked. "You cannot think that you can beat me by fighting straight, can you?"
The Dragon Emperor sent out another attack, throwing tendrils of lightning in all directions, attacking not just Yan Yating but also every other location that the attack could land on.
Most of those who were attacked were people who were too weak to protect themselves and had to hide behind others.
The Dragon Emperor could see that his army had lost the
battle, so all that remained was for him to win the war. So, he
started attacking more recklessly, without a need to worry
about who the stray shot landed on.
Yan Yating did his best to stop all the attacks, but the attack
was too vast for him to get to all of them and stop them. He
had to rely on the people behind him to protect themselves.
The only good thing that came through this was the fact that
the Dragon Emperor was wasting more Immortal Qi than he
needed to.
Yan Yating, as a Saint Transformation 8th realm cultivator, had
maybe 35% of his Qi as Immortal Qi. The Emperor, just one
realm higher, would have nearly 50% of his Qi be Immortal Qi.
That discrepancy was something that he had to fight through.
Yan Yating had been notified by the others that the Emperor
had regained all of his Immortal Qi back, so he had to be
careful.
'Let him use his Qi without any thought,' Yan Yating thought.
'The more he uses, the better my chance of besting him.'
The Dragon Emperor was a being that had haunted him for
the past 70 years, so he was more than ready to get it all over
with.
He returned once again to attack the Dragon Emperor and
force him to use more of his Qi.

Pearl flickered and appeared in four places at once, each one
of him dashing toward the woman that had charged in wildly
to attack him.
She had a crazy look on her face and a wild grin, and she kept
saying that she wanted to kill him to get on the Emperor's
good side.
Thankfully, she overestimated her strength in front of him as
he too had a battle prowess far beyond what the others saw of
him.
The woman created a vortex of fire in front of her, with the
tail end of it facing one of the four Pearls.
The woman's body slumped under Pearl's binding, and a small
blue illusory soul flew out from her body.
Pearl roared at the soul and it crumbled into motes of light,
dying just there.
"Good fighting, young lord," someone spoke from behind
Pearl.
Pearl turned around and saw the leader of the Lizard colony
moving toward him. He then looked around the battlefield and
saw many of the other beasts smiling toward him.
They had been waiting patiently for him to be done with his
battle.
"You are only at Saint Core 7th realm, and you can kill people
in the Saint Soul realm. You truly are the son of his Majesty,"
the Lizard said.
"Why have you all stopped fighting?" Pearl asked.
The blue Eagle moved toward Pearl. "Young lord, the battle is
all but done," she said, pointing toward the few fights that
happened here and there.
"We have won, young lord," the Lizard said.
Pearl felt the intense aura of battle coming from a distance far
away. He looked at the fight between the Dragon Emperor
and Yan Yating.
"No," he said. "It's not over."
He pointed toward the Dragon Emperor. "As long as he is alive,
the battle is not over."
The beasts looked toward the Dragon Emperor too and
grimaced. "We're afraid we are not that useful in that regard,"
the Deer answered. "We're not strong enough to contend
against him."
"No," Pearl said. "But you will make for a fine annoyance."
Pearl raised his voice and spoke to every beast, both from the
Beast Paradise and the ones that were under his great
Grandfather.
"Everyone in the Saint Transformation realm, listen up!" he
roared a command. "If you have any Immortal Qi in you, do
not keep it. Attack it at that man. Distract him with all the
power you can muster."
The beasts looked toward the Dragon Emperor, with great
consideration in their face.
"Attack him all at once, so we may kill him," Pearl shouted.
"This is my command as the ruler of the Eastern Continent.
Go!"
