Sage Monarch-Chapter 1543: Everything on the Line Part 2

Chapter 1543: Everything on the Line Part 2

“Ah, what a real pity....” Yang Qi sighed.

He had built up immense momentum, throwing the three dynasties into chaos. In the process, he had gained three more experts with psychic scales of a hundred billion. And he had struck a major blow, blasting through the enemy’s front lines.

Unfortunately, the Deathless Monument had come and stopped him in his tracks.

It had taken the High Priestess to throw an obstacle in his empire's path. Although she hadn’t done anything to stop them for long, only a few dozen breaths of time, that gave the three dynasties enough breathing room to regroup.

After all, the High Priestess was as famous as the King of Godmammoths. Having her on the side of the three dynasties gave their people a big boost, right at the moment when they had been feeling completely shaken.

When the Deathless Monument shattered, the High Priestess’ voice could be heard ringing out.

“I am the High Priestess, officiator of sacrifices for the ancient court of the Sovereign Lord. People of the three dynasties, there is no need for panic. I will awaken soon, and come to help you. Fight, warriors! This Sage Monarch Empire is a cancer on the god world, and must be excised. All of you must fight for the glory of the god world! Fight for heaven and earth. Your righteousness, your power, your glory, and your spirits will bolster you. Eradicate the Sage Monarch Empire. If you do, the essence of the god world will finally transcend. Fight, warriors! I, the High Priestess, will be here backing you. You won’t be alone. Your heroism will be forever inscribed on my monument for all generations to come. Even if you die, you will continue to exist forever....”

All of a sudden, the warriors of the three dynasties felt their blood boiling as they were convinced that they were fighting for the god world itself, ensuring that its essence was with them.

It was like electricity sparking through their hearts and souls.

After all, the High Priestess had officiated over countless sacrifices, and was beyond the compare of just about anything and everything. Her voice alone could catalyze the morale of her people. Of course, she didn’t actually dare to come as her true self, because if she did, Yang Qi would slaughter her.

Even if she were stronger than she was, the best she could do was provide moral support.

“Kill! Destroy the Sage Monarch Empire!”

Destiny surged as the warriors charged forward with slaughter on their minds.

BAM!

The soldiers of the three dynasties, backed by immense destiny, clashed with the Sage Monarch Empire, causing the god world to be truly shaken.

No military clash in history could compare to this.

The god world was physically shaking, and countless beings in all aspects of existence sensed impending doom and calamity. Innumerable almighty entities were looking on, knowing full well that their personal strength was like nothing compared to the forces clashing.

Whooooooosh!

The fighting was incredibly fierce.

Yang Qi watched as the Dragonfolk experts and Spritefolk formed immense formations. The sage monarch magistrates led countless top experts, many of whom were reduced to piles of ash or puddles of blood in the initial clash.

In the blink of an eye, he lost ten million sage monarch magistrates and a hundred billion citizens!

The casualties were staggering, but he didn't care. He was already prepared to lose his own life if necessary. His brethren were all at their peak fighting capacity, but they were by his side, waiting. As for the purrling, it was resting in Jadefall’s arms, sleeping quietly.

Even if the fighting got worse, Yang Qi knew the purrling wouldn’t take part. The karmic ramifications were simply too immense.

This battle would determine the future of the entire god world. The winner would decide the fate of countless people, and it didn't matter if the purrling were stronger than it was, it didn't want to be stained by that much karma.

Blood flowed and lives were lost. Vanished. Yang Qi even saw God-Lords from the Dragonfolk being slaughtered.

However, the three dynasties were suffering even greater casualties.

In fact, they were losing ten times as many people as the Sage Monarch Empire!

They had already lost more than ten God-Lords, who had been exterminated so thoroughly it was as if they hadn’t existed to begin with.

Over a trillion troops were wiped out of existence just like that, causing cries of anguish to reach all corners of the world.

A battle this intense had never been seen before.

Of course, even a trillion troops was like one hair on nine trillion oxen to the three dynasties. They were just too huge.

For instance, in the House of the Invincible, a single land would be populated by tens of trillions of people. So what did it matter to them if trillions died? Although it wasn't necessarily a good thing, it was hardly something to even blink at.

Even to the Sage Monarch Empire, a trillion wasn’t a huge number. That said, to lose ten million sage monarch magistrates was definitely noteworthy. The only consolation was that, among the forces of the three dynasties, numerous peak Paramount Gods with psychic scales in the billions had already died.

For most dynasties, God-Lords were the ultimate leaders, and losing even one would be a major disaster. And peak Paramount Gods with psychic scales in the billions were where God-Lords came from.

“Eternal Heavenly Aria!”

Yang Qi could sense immense karma brewing, but he didn't care. He had started this war, and it had reached a moment of life or death.

Opening his mouth, he sent halos of damnification out over the forces of the three dynasties. In terms of numbers, he simply couldn’t match up. The troops of the three dynasties outnumbered him by at least a hundred to one.

RUMBLE!

There was another major clash, and Yang Qi lost twenty thousand sage monarch magistrates and a trillion citizens. Several of his friends and family nearly coughed up blood at the sight. Thankfully, he had already bolstered their souls, otherwise they might have died.

The viciousness caused Yang Chiliocosm to cough up blood, and Proud Heaven to go pale in the face. Even Hailan seemed on the verge of collapse. Yang Voidprime had it better off than the others, and simply looked to be in pain. As for the nine Dugu patriarchs, one of them had died!

The one who died was Heaven-Rending Dugu, whose cultivation base was still a few billion short of the level of a hundred billion. During the massive clash of destiny, he got unlucky, and was transformed into ash.

“Fuck! We have to go all out! I've never led a battle this intense before!” Proud Heaven had lived for a long time, yet had never seen anything like this before. Even the fight between the Sovereign Lord and King Immortal-Slayer hadn’t been on this scale. After all, King Immortal-Slayer had never founded his own empire.

In this type of fighting, anyone could lose their life, be they leaders or commoners. Proud Heaven knew that included himself as well.

However, he couldn’t run. He had to stake everything on this battle.

“Die!”

Drawing on the destiny under his control, he sent countless government officials forth to attack, backing them with spell formations.

Another round of fierce fighting played out.

“Triumph in Every Battle! Triumph in Every Battle!” Yang Qi shouted, throwing caution to the wind as he catalyzed the battle spirit of his people, hoping to fuel as many enemy casualties as possible.

“Everlasting Aegis, Battlefield Advancement!”

The enormous Everlasting Aegis started moving forward, giving people a place to retreat to if necessary, and imbuing the battlefield with power.

No longer holding back any power, Yang Qi shouted, “You’re all going to die. And you’re no exception, Yang Voidprime! Let the Halls of Heaven Come!”

The clouds parted and the Halls of Heaven became visible overhead, causing endless power to pour into Yang Qi. At the same time, millions of mountains, seas, suns, moons, and worlds appeared behind him.

“Devour All Under Heaven!”

Among them was an enormous primal-chaos elder-snake, which sucked in countless enemy spell formations.

Then he waved his hand.

RUMBLE!

Space, fate, impermanence... countless such things shot toward Proud Heaven, Yang Voidprime, Hailan, Yang Chiliocosm, and the other leaders of the three dynasties.

Yang Voidprime was shocked. He had previously thought that he and Yang Qi were both putting everything on the line. But unexpectedly, he found that Yang Qi was now fighting everyone at the same time.

‘Just how strong is Yang Qi? He wasn't fighting with full force before? He’s only now showing his true, terrifying power? My god!’ Yang Voidprime felt completely helpless.

“Everyone join forces,” Proud Heaven said. “He’s staking everything on this one attack!” All of a sudden, he exhaled, and a piece of the Great Necropolis shot out, a stone cloud designed to protect Proud Heaven.

“All government officials, attack Yang Qi and kill him. Use the spell formations. Draw on destiny!” Yang Chiliocosm shouted.

Everything was going to come down to this one clash.
