Chapter 6024: Looks Like I Was Wrong, Old Man
Legends regarding Supreme Immortal Ancestor were forgotten at this point. Only a few were still pa.s.sed down in Sin.
One told the story of this ancestor ascending and killing numerous wondrous beings. Another was how he changed the flow of Uncrossable Expanse and killed the strongest sea monsters…
All in all, most of these stories were thought to be fabricated with no proof available. Perhaps this character didn’t exist at all.
Li Qiye chuckled and turned his attention toward the spherical treasure. A smirk appeared on his face.
The next treasure to attract his attention was Primeval Hexa-gauntlet, rumored to have been crafted by Splendor Monarch.
He spent his life gathering treasures and materials, allowing its creation. No one else could have done the same since they lacked access to the same priceless materials.
“Clank!” Li Qiye reached for it and it automatically wrapped around his hand, seemingly a perfect and natural fit. It felt as if he didn’t have a gauntlet on for it became a part of his hand.
Spectators became either jealous or envious after seeing this, unable to cross the oblivion domain to reach the pinnacle.
“Taking all six, ridiculous.” Serpent-winged Specter Saint remarked.
Few treasures in this world were on the same level as the six. Now, they were in the possession of a single mortal?
“Be patient, he’ll have to leave eventually.” Buddha Fiend and the others remained calm.
His words reminded everyone that Li Qiye couldn’t stay in that palace forever. In a sense, he would be bringing the treasures down for them.
Meanwhile, Li Qiye focused on the gauntlet and channeled his power, initiating a buzzing noise.
The gauntlet exuded strands of light with a temporal effect, stretching time infinitely. He tightened his grip and condensed them into a single drop of water.
The moment it fully manifested into reality, he sent his intent into it.
“Splash.” Ripples formed during the unmatched process. The crowd didn’t notice it at all, not even Allmountain Emperor.
He went back in time, from his epoch to the distant past. The drop of water was a remnant mark on the gauntlet with no mysteries to speak of.
Splendor Monarch didn’t pay attention to this mark either, just something he left behind during the crafting process - an insignificant symbol.
However, Li Qiye could perform a temporal trace through it. The drop a.s.sumed an eternal stage, allowing him to cross through the epochs to stop at a place where everlasting life could be seen.
It wasn’t everlasting life in the true sense, but the living beings here lived longer than anything else in existence. This everlasting force was gentle and enduring.
This epoch didn’t burst forth with dazzling brilliance but enjoyed the silent nourishment of the rain or the gentle flow of a stream.
No one else was as familiar with this power as he was - the first of which he had encountered in his life.
“Pop!” He withdrew his intent and the drop of light disappeared. He loosened his grip and the rays were no more.
“Old man, looks like I was wrong. You still had a trick up your sleeve but it wasn’t enough, just a borrowed life.” He sighed.
At the same time, the crowd waited outside for him to take out the six treasures.
“Boom!” Suddenly, the ground shook violently due to something erupting from the depths of the main palace.
“Crackle!” This power released waves of darkness infused with lightning bolts and scared the h.e.l.l out of the crowd.
Ancestors and experts were sent flying from the initial explosion. Allmountain, Omni, and the strongest desolate G.o.ds were astounded.
“This power…” Allmountain became resplendent with divine halos blessed with the primal affinity.
He wasn’t afraid of the raw power of the darkness but rather, the hint of heavenly affinity contained within the bolts.
