Chapter 816 - 816 811 Shadow of the Emperor
Chapter 816: Chapter 811: Shadow of the Emperor Chapter 816: Chapter 811: Shadow of the Emperor Seeing Alpha so effortlessly slay the Wing of Death, Bai Qi felt an immense joy.
At last, he had eliminated the one who had made him anxious all along; from now on, he could focus on his affairs in peace.
However, seeing the blood on the ground, could it be that the Blood of Death inside the Champion Marquis’s secret realm was Alpha’s doing?
The Wing of Death had struggled through time just to deliver its blood to Alpha?
Tsk tsk, what a dragon…
“Alpha, can you kill the Wing of Death completely? Leaving these things around is a hidden danger,”
Bai Qi said to Alpha, looking towards the headless corpse of the Wing of Death.
Gala gala.
(Boss, it cannot die.)
Alpha shook his head, and Bai Qi was taken aback, his heart lifting again.
Roar…
The low roar rose once more, and under the wary gazes of the group, the Wing of Death, now headless and forelimbless, began to stir again. The broken neck was still gushing blood, merging into the black “magma” at its feet.
As the embodiment of death, how could it die again!
“We can’t let it continue like this.”
Watching the Blood of Death grow in size, Bai Qi slightly furrowed his brow and, after exchanging a glance with Alpha, made up his mind.
“Zhuge Chen, Cha, get ready.”
Bai Qi summoned both of them and their beast companions to his side, and they understood immediately, promptly putting away their beasts.
“Teacher, what are you about to do?”
Sensing something from the actions of Bai Qi and the others, Wang Xi asked eagerly.
“Nothing much, just sending this big fellow off to another place,”
Bai Qi replied with a slight smile, gently patting Wang Xi’s head.
“But after leaving, I might not be able to return, so the Initial City will need you to protect it,”
As he spoke, Bai Qi handed a Secret Realm Ring to Wang Xi and said, “Practice well and strive to become a Legend soon to protect humanity.”
“Teacher, you’re leaving?”
Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Wang Xi’s heart jolted instinctively. He tried to grab Bai Qi’s arm but found his teacher had dodged away.
“To have been the teacher of the Initial Emperor, I suppose my journey through time hasn’t been in vain. Work hard, young man~”
As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, the river of time suddenly appeared, enveloping Bai Qi and the group, cutting off his words entirely.
“Teacher, teacher!”
Wang Xi, somewhat puzzled, desperately tried to pull Bai Qi back, but was sent flying by the river of time.
“As expected, once I reveal my true identity, the river of time can’t stay put, huh.”
Looking at the reappearing river of time, Bai Qi showed no surprise and then turned to look in the direction of the Wing of Death.
The Wing of Death was still resisting the pull of the river of time. However, due to the damage from the Reincarnation Sword, it was unable to free itself from the grasp of the river of time.
Consequently, neither could the river of time drag the Wing of Death back, leading to a stalemate between the two.
“Being able to resist time, the Wing of Death is still very strong.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly, as Alpha’s recent effortless victory had given him the false impression that the Wing of Death was weak.
But it seemed now that it wasn’t that the Wing of Death was too weak, but that Alpha was simply too strong.
“Origin skill… If nothing unexpected happens, the reason must lie in the Reincarnation Sword,”
Bai Qi pondered, while Alpha launched another attack. The Reincarnation Sword slashed, severing the limbs of the Wing of Death, as the river of time finally dragged it in.
But Alpha didn’t stop his moves. After exchanging a look with Delta, Alpha suddenly thrust his sword at Delta, who also breathed out a dragon’s breath of time, merging with the Reincarnation Sword.
Then, Alpha swung his long sword, pulling out a strand from the river of time and forming a circle, enveloping the Wing of Death within it.
“Using the Reincarnation Sword and the Power of Time to create a time loop?”
Bai Qi was somewhat surprised, amazed at Alpha’s maneuver.
Gala gala.
(Boss, it’s not a time loop, it’s just a cycle, merely a way to delay time as much as possible.)
Alpha shook his head, sharing his thoughts.
“Delaying time?”
Bai Qi was puzzled, but as he saw the Wing of Death gradually regrowing its head, he quickly understood.
This Wing of Death had not reached its peak state yet!
“Indeed, trying to kill death itself is illogical from a conceptual standpoint.”
Bai Qi felt somewhat helpless but no longer dwelled on it, and the river of time, having taken the Wing of Death away, did not linger, gradually disappearing with Bai Qi and the group into the sky.
Initial City.
Wang Xi and the others stared blankly at where Bai Qi had disappeared, still not coming to terms with what had happened.
“Wang Xi, the teachers…”
After what felt like an eternity, Huo Fengxu was the first to speak, inquiring.
“It seems the teachers have left.”
Wang Xi nodded, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, but upon seeing the city of the Initial Emperor below, his determination immediately took hold.
The teacher had already passed on the duty of guarding the city of Initial Emperor, no, guarding humanity, into his hands. It looked like he would have to double his efforts!
“But now that the teacher is gone, what if another Legendary Ferocious Beast comes along? And what about those things on the ground…?”
Yeh pointed at the Blood of Death on the ground, his eyes full of fear.
No one knew better than him the horrors that this substance posed. Who knew what would happen if anyone carelessly touched it?
“Don’t worry, for a long time no Ferocious Beast will dare to come near here. As for that blood, it can conveniently serve as a moat.”
Looking at the Blood of Death that surrounded a large area of the city of the Initial Emperor, Wang Xi already had a new defensive strategy for the city in mind.
“Besides, the teacher has helped us too much already. From now on, we need to rely on ourselves.”
Wang Xi looked up at the sky, stretched out his right hand, and let the sunlight filter through his fingers onto his face. Under the dappled light and shadow, Wang Xi’s demeanor swiftly matured.
“But what about the residents of the city? If they find out that the teacher has disappeared, I’m afraid it will cause panic.”
Huo Fengxu furrowed his brows slightly and said, “There’s Teacher Zhuge and Teacher Cha as well. All three of them disappearing at once, it’d be hard to cover up.”
“Teacher Cha is often away; no one noticed when she came back this time, so don’t worry about her. As for Teacher Zhuge, Yeh, I’ll need you to take on the disguise.”
After a moment’s thought, Wang Xi quickly came up with a solution.
“Indeed, that could work, but what about Teacher Bai Qi? Everyone wants to nominate the teacher for emperor. If he doesn’t show up, it’ll still be noticed.”
“Then let the teacher appear,” Wang Xi said with a light smile. He took out the imperial attire prepared in advance for Bai Qi, put it on, then fetched a rune mask and put it on, gently swiping it, changing his face to that of Bai Qi’s.
“Starting today, I shall live on in the guise of my teacher, leading humanity in the fight against the Ferocious Beasts to attain freedom.”
“I will forever be the teacher’s shadow, in his name, to complete the cause he left unfinished.”
“I am the Initial Emperor, Bai Qi!”
…
In an unknown place.
A streak of sword light flashed across the sky, tearing a long fissure through which a bit of sand fell.
Soon after, several figures leapt out from the fissure, landing firmly on the ground.
“Our Talent hasn’t been sealed, which means even the River of Time recognizes that we are not to be restrained by the era.”
Bai Qi felt the connection with the Beast Control Space and, seeing that Bai Qiu Cha and Zhuge Chen were also fine, he nodded slightly.
“It seems so. But which era have we come to now? It feels a bit strange.”
The moment Bai Qiu Cha had the thought, the Blue Dragon armor merged with him, and the scenery within thousands of meters became crystal clear in front of his eyes.
The vast land bore no trace of development, as gigantic wild beasts comfortably roamed the land, as if proclaiming to Bai Qiu Cha that they were the true masters here.
“This… so many Ancient Species, is this the Original Era?!”
“The Original Era?”
Zhuge Chen was momentarily stunned, as if he too had noticed something, and he summoned the Mecha Dragon Baby beast.
Ao ao ao!
The moment Dragon Cub Beast appeared, it roared excitedly, greedily breathing the air of the era, and on its body, a wild aura, unique to Ancient Species, rarely emanated.
“If nothing unexpected, we really are in the Original Era.”
Bai Qi also received feedback from Schuck, and as he looked at the Original Beasts, ones he had seen and ones he had not, in the vision, the joy from Alpha’s evolution was also somewhat diluted.
While safety was less of a concern now, the trend of their time travel was a bit unusual.
“They say going with the flow is the easiest, but why does going against the flow seem to get smoother and smoother for us?”
Bai Qi sighed, recalling how, at least previously, their time travels led to various eras of human emperors, allowing him to take part in several major human events.
But now, he had been transported to an era where not even the Ferocious Beast Tribe had been born, and the world was ruled by these incredibly powerful prehistoric behemoths.
“We’ve traveled too far, otherwise, we might still have had the chance to see how humanity was born.”
Bai Qi expressed his regret, shook his head to dispel distractions, and then summoned Alpha to check on Alpha’s status.
Following the evolution, Alpha’s Race Name became Reincarnation Sword Master, but its Level was only Legendary Perfection.
Clearly, the so-called Demi-God was still legendary, having only mastered Rule Skills.
Beyond that, Alpha’s skills had been simplified again. Besides the Origin Skill Reincarnation Sword and the Seven Deadly Sins skill Greed, there was only one new skill, Sword Spirits of Life and Death.
[Skill Name]: Sword Spirits of Life and Death
[Skill Level]: Rule level
[Skill Introduction]: Reincarnation never ceases, Sword Spirits never die!
Note: Seven Sword Spirits forged by the Sword Master in the cycles of Reincarnation, each wielding different powers.
…
“Seven Sword Spirits? I see, it has absorbed and refined the Seven Swords Dragon Knights?”
Bai Qi understood upon hearing this, and watching the gigantic Original Beasts running quickly towards them in the distance, he grinned.
“Alpha, let’s test out the effects~”
What do you think?
