Sage Monarch (Sage Emperor)

The power of the Invincible Gold Pill was more than formidable.

As it entered Yang Qi, he benefited tremendously. Ever since coming to the Myriad Dragons Lair, he had been advancing by leaps and bounds, going from a mere late Paramount God to an almighty peak Paramount God.

Given the current level of his cultivation base, he could definitely cause major problems in the House of the Invincible now. And he could subjugate many of their top leaders without any resistance.

As the power of the pill filled him, his psychic scale and godhood rating climbed from five billion to six billion. That was where it finally slowed and stopped.

However, that didn’t mean that the power of the pill was weakening. He quickly opened the teleportation portal within himself and connected to the Sage Monarch Empire, where he sent the surplus power to Yang Immortal-Slayer.

Yang Immortal-Slayer’s monarch godhood immediately rose, improving his martial capabilities and overall deadliness.

The power of the pill also filled the destiny of the kingdom, flowing through it into the hearts of the people.

The hearts of the people were deeply connected to destiny. The greater the destiny of a nation, the more confident and proud its people would be. In contrast, if the destiny was in a slump, the people would be weak and wretched. It could be a beneficial cycle, or a destructive one.

Right now, the power of the Invincible Gold Pill was flowing into the destiny of the Sage Monarch Dragon Kingdom, causing the hearts of the people to fill with an aura of invincibility.

We are invincible. We will triumph in every battle. We will achieve victory in every fight!

The sage monarch magistrates were also improving because of the pill, causing them to shine with brilliant expressions of light.

They were halos from the Eternal Heavenly Aria!

Although they still weren’t in the late Paramount God level, Yang Qi could use the blood of the King of Godmammoths to increase their life force, power, genes, and fighting ability. And with the Eternal Heavenly Aria to bless them, they were even more amazing.

“Wonderful! Most wonderful!”

Jadefall and everyone else were all involved in fighting the Blood-Diamond Dragon Kingdom, and had been stuck in something of a deadlock.

But now, with the sage monarch magistrates shining with halos of blessing from the Eternal Heavenly Aria, they and all their subordinates were vastly more effective.

Soon, the Dragonfolk from the Blood-Diamond Dragon Kingdom were being shoved back across the battlefield.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

Buddha Shockheaven and Buddha Lheafe flew out and seized the king. All of the leaders of the enemy army were captured, and as a result, the army started collapsing. The Sage Monarch Empire really was able to triumph in every battle.

The king was named Buddha Blood-Diamond, and he had a psychic scale and godhood rating of three billion. With him captured and in the custody of the sage monarch magistrates, there was no way his own force could hold their own.

His kingdom was soon swallowed up by the Sage Monarch Empire. As order spread, the destiny valuation rose to the shocking level of over one million!

Yang Qi could sense his empire expanding, and the destiny improving.

Around this time, Dugu Yunkong and Yang Jian had reached a critical juncture in their work.

With the Chiliocosm Pagoda and the head of King Heaven-Devourer, they were starting to suck away at the sealing mark.

It was deeply infused into the Dragon Compendium, and as soon as they tampered with it, the will of King of Godmammoths stirred into action.

Suddenly, a voice boomed, “Whoever blasphemes the essence of my power will die!”

A figure appeared with an elephantine head and a human body, with a long spear in its hands. Even before its spear could reach the vicinity, Yang Qi and the Second Devil General could feel its weight. So obviously, Dugu Yunkong and Yang Qi were even more affected.

SPLAT!

Blood sprayed out of their mouths, and Dugu Yunkong’s eyes were even dripping with blood.

“The King of Godmammoths can’t be underestimated. But he's an arrow that's reached the end of its flight! Watch as I subjugate him! Invincible Heaven Wheel!” An enormous, glittering wheel appeared behind Dugu Yunkong. The Invincible Heaven Wheel was no magical treasure, but rather a daoist technique. It was powered by the converged national destiny of the Invincible Dynasty, and could be used to crush the dome of heaven and invert the magical laws of the cosmos.

The megamammoth projection stabbed its spear toward the wheel, and sparks showered down as everything trembled.

“We technically shouldn’t be able to deal with this sealing mark. But we came prepared with lots of tricks. We're not going to let this opportunity pass! Yang Jian, hurry and absorb the power of that sealing mark! The Lord of the Chiliocosm gave you the Chiliocosm Pagoda for this very moment!”

“Thanks for the reminder! Chiliocosm Power. Endlessly Prosperous Nation-Fate!” Yang Jian surged with power as he drew on the national destiny of the Chiliocosm Dynasty, funneled through the Chiliocosm Pagoda.

The national destiny swirled into the form of a picture, depicting beautiful natural scenery, towering cities, sprawling provinces, and the like. The Dragon Compendium fought back fiercely against the pressure weighing down upon it, but the sealing mark was finally moving.

‘Incredible,’ Yang Qi thought, licking his lips in envy. ‘These two are really incredible. But the national destiny backing them is even more incredible. If I could get the destiny of the Invincible Dynasty and the Chiliocosm Dynasty, I’d definitely be able to transform on a fundamental level.’

Compared to those two dynasties, his Sage Monarch Empire was like nothing. In terms of the destiny, his was like a spluttering spark while theirs were like volcanoes.

Although the destiny valuation of the Sage Monarch Empire was at more than one million, those of the other dynasties were on the level of ten billion or more.

Could those two levels even be compared?

Here, two top experts from those organizations were using the Dragon Compendium to fight the sealing mark placed there by the King of Godmammoths. Thankfully, the King of Godmammoths had long since perished, otherwise these two never would have been a match for him.

BAM!

All of a sudden, a massive explosion occurred as the talisman lifted off of the Dragon Compendium.

“Blood Devouring!” Yang Jian shouted exultingly.

National destiny roared through the Chiliocosm Pagoda, causing the mammoth character to speed toward it like lightning.

Seeing this, Dugu Yunkong’s face suddenly fell. “Back up, Yang Jian! Don’t absorb it! It’s a trap! We’re in huge danger!”

He spoke too late. Yang Jian sucked in the talisman and then burst out laughing. “Why shouldn’t I absorb it? It's the sealing mark of the King of Godmammoths! Now that I have it, I have his blood, and I’ll become the most powerful person under heaven! I can—”

Before he could finish speaking, he cut himself off by unleashing a bloodcurdling scream. “NO! Don’t!”

It sounded almost like he was being dragged forcibly down into hell.

“What’s going on?” the Second Devil General murmured.

“Is he suicidal?” Yang Qi said. “He just devoured that sealing mark, which means that the will of the King of Godmammoths is trying to devour his flesh, blood, and soul. He's going to be possessed! I think this is the opportunity we’ve been waiting for. I'm going to get two pieces of the Mahātmā Jade, plus the Dragon Compendium. And I'm going to subjugate Dugu Yunkong!”

All of a sudden, from within Yang Jian’s screaming came a booming voice so impressive that anyone who heard it would be hard-pressed not to pass out. “Pitiful humans! How dare you try to wreck my life force sealing mark! Who gave you the gall to blaspheme the essence of my power? You think you’re strong enough to deal with me?”

It was the voice of the King of Godmammoths!

“I knew this was going to happen, Yang Jian. You can’t absorb the life force sealing mark of the King of Godmammoths! Mahātmā Jade! Suppress the Godmammoth!” Dugu Yunkong flew into motion, grabbing the second piece of the Mahātmā Jade from Yang Jian, then combining it with his own to make a black and white taiji symbol. Then he shoved it toward Yang Jian’s forehead.

“The Mahātmā Jade is the bane of the King of Godmammoths!”
