nLi Qiye didn’t flinch once while inside the sphere of fire due to a protective glow nullifying every single shot. Barrages continued to no avail, only managing to destroy the area around him.

n

nIn fact, people got the feeling that this was a rebirth via fire. The firepower not only failed to hurt him but also seemed to be increasing his strength by refining his constitution.

n

n“That’s unreal.” Everyone became stunned.

n

n“Who the hell is this guy? How can he stop this massive attack so easily?” Even the ancestors were astounded.

n

n“Fire!” The barrage stopped for a second before another command was heard.

n

nThe small ships lit up in a blinding manner again and maximized their output. In this split second, all of them shot out a materialized ray with enough force to cut through time and space. These rays tore the area asunder while surging towards Li Qiye as the common target.

n

nThere was a lack of explosions and fire versus the previous barrage. However, these rays were far more terrifying.

n

nEach ship has gathered all of its energy onto its respective beam, allowing the ray to sever anything. Powerful weapons and tough metals weren’t enough as a defensive measure.

n

n“Buzz.” Temperature crazily surged like 100,000 concentrated suns. Because of this, everything started to melt.

n

nThe dao laws, worldly forces, and spatio-temporal affinities weren’t spared either. Everything became blurred, whether it be the blue azure or the earth below.

n

n“That’s terrifying.” The horrified crowd was startled, thinking that they were next.

n

n“I don’t think he can survive this time around because that ray is unreal. Eternals going all out still can’t stop it.” One expert stated.

n

nOne ancestor activated his heavenly gaze for a better look before shouting in horror: “Oh Lord!”

n

n“What? His body is incinerated, even the true fate is done for?” Many came over to ask, thinking that the sight of Li Qiye’s death was too gruesome.

n

n“He’s perfectly fine, it’s so strange.” The ancestor took a deep breath and said.

n

nOther ancestors who were True Gods also opened their gazes. Sure enough, Li Qiye stood in the hottest area in a leisurely manner. Though these rays could burn and meld everything, they didn’t do a damn thing to him outside of lighting him up.

n

nOne could see a light emanating from him to stop the fast-shooting rays. These ancestors naturally became scared.

n

n“Is this brat still human? So young yet possesses such a terrifying power already.” One of them shuddered.

n

n“How does he compare to Jade-break and Puresword True Emperor?” Someone couldn’t help but ask.

n

n“I don’t think they’re comparable.” An old True God shook his head: “The emperors are battle-hardened with brilliant talents and power among the young generation, but this so-called Fiercest is already amazing, being able to do this much.”

n

n

n“How boring.” Li Qiye yawned while being struck by these rays: “Using the dao to control machines is a good method, but it is not being masterly done here, far inferior compared to the machine race.”

n

nHe smiled: “Okay, don’t block my view anymore, scrap metals.” With that, he slowly raised both hands.

n

n“Buzz.” The melted space seemed to be torn asunder like the chaotic opening of a new world. Next came the light of dawn to signal the start of all things below the blue sky.

n

nThe hundred ships or so suddenly lost control and floated up and down. Gravity and weight have been affected.

n

n“Not good!” The generals realized that they couldn’t control their ships.

n

nLi Qiye circled his hands and the area turned into a gigantic maelstrom. One could actually hear splashing sounds like the ups-and-downs in an ocean.

n

n“Rumble!” The ships naturally spun with the vortex at an increasing pace. Finally, they became part of this maelstrom, quite a majestic scene.

n

n“Boom! Boom!” After this formational shift, the cannons on the smaller ships suddenly aimed towards the ten big ones and began firing at full force.

n

nThe big ships were caught unprepared and trembled from the attacks. Some hulls were directly penetrated.

n

nThey immediately retaliated with their own cannons. With just one barrage, more than ten small ships were destroyed.

n

n“We’re on the same side! We’re on the same side!” The disciples and generals on the surviving smaller ships shouted in horror, unlike their fallen brothers who couldn’t even scream in time.

n

n“Buzz.” The ten main ships exuded a blinding light that eventually culminated in the form of a barrier.

n

nDeafening explosions resounded as a result. The barrier effectively nullified the continuous barrage from the smaller ships.

n

n“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Though the smaller ships went all out against the ten main ones, the barrier was simply too strong. Of course, it was shaking back and forth along with the area.

n

nMeanwhile, the crowd was in awe at how Li Qiye managed to seize control of the smaller ships.

n

nOne ancestor took a deep breath and said: “Absolute control over space. Once he starts doing that, everyone within that domain will have to follow his whim.”

n

n“Go now!” Li Qiye chuckled and pushed his hands forward.

n

n“Boom!” The rest of the smaller ships condensed in the vortex and flew forward like a massive continent, aiming for the bigger ones.
