CHAPTER 1148: 1148 TERRIFYING SOUL! (4TH UPDATE) ETERNAL BRO IS HERE!

The Martial Artist at the Void Breaking Realm has an unusually tenacious vitality; merely crushing the heart won’t take their life immediately.

But in front of the eerie Ye Qiu, Ji Batian couldn’t even muster the strength to fight back and watched himself walk toward death.

In the end, Ji Batian couldn’t escape the crisis of death and finally crashed from the nine heavens to the ground, falling into a giant pit.

Is Ji Batian dead?

Many people saw the person who fell was Ji Batian. They all ran over to confirm, and it was indeed Ji Batian beyond doubt. Everyone couldn’t help but gasp.

The strongest pillar of the Ji clan has finally perished.

Ji Batian, who could single-handedly stabilize a clan, has finally fallen today. Because of his death, the Ji clan will undergo tremendous changes.

"Great! Ji Batian is dead. Eliminate all the remaining Ji clan members; from now on, there will be no Ji clan in the ancient land." Seeing the fall of the Ji clan’s strongest did, no one feared the Ji clan anymore, and many rushed toward those Ji clan members who hadn’t left yet.

Soon, the Ji clan’s city tower was breached.

Wu Yang Venerable and the owner of the Library Pavilion naturally led the charge; other ancient clans could kill, but they couldn’t claim the Ji clan’s various treasures as their own.

Although some ancient clans were dissatisfied, seeing Wu Yang Venerable and the Library Pavilion owner were not easy to mess with and had exceptional strength, they dared not move rashly.

The news of Ji Batian’s demise quickly spread back to the Mu clan and the Shi clan.

Mu Tianxing and Shi Lie were in a daze for a moment after hearing the news.

Who killed Ji Batian?

The person delivering the message wasn’t particularly clear and only briefly described the cocoon floating to the sky and soon after Ji Batian lost his life descending from the sky.

No longer tangled over whether Ji Batian was killed by the beast god, for the Mu clan and Shi clan, the current situation poses the greatest danger.

Thus, Mu Tianxing and Shi Lie immediately ordered the activation of their respective ancient clan’s great formations to guard against anyone related to Ye Qiu.

Even with the protection of the great formations, Mu Tianxing and Shi Lie weren’t at ease. With the Ji clan destroyed, how long can the Mu and Shi clans hold on?

The great formations are not eternally indestructible.

They could only hope that Ye Qiu is completely dead because without this backbone, others might not be so intent on exterminating the Mu and Shi clans.

Meanwhile, the Sun clan and the Guan clan were trembling with fear. With Ji Batian dead, their wish to follow the Ji clan and gain benefits instantly turned to a bubble, instead attracting hostility from numerous ancient clans.

Now the Yue clan and Mo clan have turned their assault to the Sun clan and other ancient clans, a matter that Wu Yang Venerable and the others did not concern themselves with as long as no one touched the Ji clan’s assets and seized the biggest fruits of victory.

"We must guard for Young Master Ye and take the Ji clan’s many treasures," said the powerful figure from Yunxia Peak. He could breakthrough thanks to those top-notch Crystal Stones, whose origin Jin Wanshan had already told him about. Therefore, he owed Yunxia Peak a favor, and coupled with Ye Qiu’s previous life-saving grace, the gratitude from Yunxia Peak’s strongman towards Ye Qiu was purer. Protecting the wealth Ye Qiu captured was naturally of utmost importance, and no one could easily touch it.

Tang Heshan saw Wu Yang Venerable and the owner of the Library Pavilion guarding every corner of the Ji clan, not allowing other ancient clans to enter. Knowing there was nothing left to contend for, he led the martial artists of the Tang clan to pursue the steps of the Yue clan and others to conquer the Sun clan and other ancient clans.

All the strong of the Ji clan have perished, with the largest ancient clan in the ancient land reduced to history from this day forth.

After today, the structure of the ancient land is destined to undergo a complete upheaval.

Above the nine heavens.

The beast god remained unmoved because Ye Qiu’s gaze was upon it.

This gaze held a trace of coldness.

"Fire Lizard... Unexpectedly, such an ancient species still exists on this dilapidated planet and has grown to such a realm," Ye Qiu said plainly.

The beast god was stunned. Fire Lizard... this was the name of its ancient tribe of beasts, but how did Ye Qiu recognize it?

Something’s off.

He’s not Ye Qiu.

The beast god couldn’t sense a sliver of familiarity from this Ye Qiu before him; apart from the same appearance, whether it was his aura, presence, or gaze, it was vastly different from Ye Qiu.

But if he’s not Ye Qiu, then who is he?

To recognize his kind of ancient beast by name was an exceedingly rare occurrence—and there should be no one in the entire ancient land who knew about it.

"Who are you?" the beast god asked.

The godly and demonic Ye Qiu showed a hint of a smile, "You don’t need to know who I am. Were it not for recognizing that you saved this body of mine, I would have already wiped out a little guy like you without hesitation."

Referring to the beast god as a little guy, this tone was extraordinarily haughty, yet to the beast god’s ears, it raised great alarm. It suspected that a soul of an old entity was residing within Ye Qiu, one that was exceedingly ancient.

Otherwise, how could Ji Batian be incapable of mustering his strength to counterattack before him?

This must be an exceedingly powerful presence, but why would it reside within Ye Qiu?

"When this body’s true owner awakens, do not mention my existence. Do you understand? You utter a single word, and I shall erase you entirely from this world."

The beast god had never been threatened in this manner, but facing the current Ye Qiu, it unusually quieted down without retort.

"Very good." Ye Qiu nodded slightly, with strange glimmers in his eyes.

Ye Qiu muttered to himself, "Hurry and grow stronger; only then can I properly claim your body."

"And that ancient Cultivation Technique, the Twelve Calamity Technique..."

The muttering gradually faded, and suddenly Ye Qiu went limp. The beast god raised an arm, and Ye Qiu floated in mid-air. Moments later, he regained consciousness.

"Hmm?"

Ye Qiu opened his eyes to find the beast god right before him.

Where is Ji Batian?

The beast god’s gaze, lacking the earlier dominance and sharpness, knew that this Ye Qiu was the genuine article.

That old monster vanished?

The beast god was momentarily dumbfounded. Though it appeared not truly gone, it surely still resided somewhere within Ye Qiu; the old entity wouldn’t have appeared if not for Ye Qiu facing a life-and-death crisis.

Yet those last muttered words before disappearing left the beast god’s mind in turmoil.

The Ye Qiu before him might achieve great heights in martial arts, but ultimately for someone else’s benefit.

However, at this moment, the beast god couldn’t bring itself to mention it. It felt that revealing this would lead the soul to immediately take control of Ye Qiu’s body and eliminate it, just as simply as killing Ji Batian.

"Ji Batian, I killed him." The beast god replied coolly to Ye Qiu’s inquiry.

"Really?"

The beast god nodded hesitantly, and Ye Qiu sighed, "What a pity, I couldn’t completely kill him myself..."

The beast god wanted to say, "Actually, it was your own hands that killed Ji Batian."

But it withheld, fearing that the old entity might suddenly appear, and it would meet the same fate as Ji Batian.

"Thank you. Though I couldn’t personally kill him, I am still grateful for helping me eliminate a formidable foe," Ye Qiu said seriously.

"Hehe... Alright, the people below are waiting for you, let’s go down," the beast god suggested.

Ye Qiu nodded.

The two descended rapidly from the high heavens, while the beast god’s gaze occasionally side-glanced at Ye Qiu, making Ye Qiu feel odd, not understanding why the beast god showed such an expression.
