525: Stripping the Holy Throne (Chapter has been revised)

A Sacred Throne possesses a peculiar characteristic: it can be forcibly dragged into the Domain of death, much like the Saint Demon of the past.

Because the 'Dao' encompasses all things, it naturally includes both life and death. The Sacred Throne transcends life and death; it can be utilized by the living... and can also rest with the dead.

To avoid a situation like that of the Saint Demon—where Dragon Abyss Saint King might take his two Sacred Thrones down with him—Li Qi was very measured when he acted, taking great care not to kill Dragon Abyss Saint King.

After a bout of fighting, Dragon Abyss Saint King was wounded, knocked unconscious, and then suppressed by him, unable to resist any longer.

At this moment, Dragon Abyss Saint King was held by the collar in Li Qi's hand, his head drooping powerlessly and motionless, looking like a dead dog, no longer possessing his former ferocity.

Zhou Cainan had witnessed the entire process from the side. Seeing Dragon Abyss Saint King held in Li Qi's hand, she stood there in a daze, unable to believe the scene before her eyes.

During the brief clash, Li Qi had intentionally avoided the area where Zhou Cainan was and blocked many attacks for her. Otherwise, as a Dao Source Realm existence, there was no way she could have survived the shockwaves of two Saint Kings fighting.

Looking at Zhou Cainan, Li Qi gave a faint smile. "What happened today is just the beginning. More and more Saint Kings will come knocking in the future. Even if every single Saint King comes running, it wouldn't be surprising at all..."

"So... do you still want to follow me?"

At this moment, Zhou Cainan also confirmed Li Qi's identity. He was indeed the Child of the Great Path that all the Saint Kings were searching for!

He was also the very center of the world's largest vortex!

Standing on the opposite side of all the Saint Kings... was this Child of the Great Path.

Others would avoid such matters like the plague, fearing even the slightest connection. If one were to rashly step into this, they would likely face eternal damnation.

She had seen with her own eyes two Dao Ancestors killed by Li Qi, as well as the fall of Dragon Abyss Saint King. As a witness to this scene, she was already in massive trouble.

To obtain the latest intelligence regarding the Child of the Great Path, or to simply capture her and use her to threaten him... those Saint Kings would never let her go.

Zhou Cainan knew very well what kind of character those Saint Kings had; they were absolutely capable of doing such things.

If it were just her alone, that would be one thing, but what about the Zhou Family behind her? What if she implicated the Zhou Family?

Faced with a momentous choice, Zhou Cainan's mind was clearer than ever, yet she was caught in a dilemma.

Li Qi saw the hesitant expression on Zhou Cainan's face and already had his answer: "I understand. Goodbye..."

His acquaintance with Zhou Cainan was merely accidental. After this storm, everything would eventually return to its original trajectory.

Li Qi's figure flickered as he left with Dragon Abyss Saint King, while Zhou Cainan returned to the Zhou Family.

Li Qi did not lift the Restriction that sealed the entire street, but instead left it there to deceive others and buy himself some time.

Li Qi's body silently passed through the Restriction he had set up, and he used the [Divine Travel Dao] to quickly leave the area.

Although there were many Dao Ancestors keeping watch throughout Red Maple City, they were inadequate when facing a Saint King. Li Qi and his captive left easily right under the noses of many powerful experts...

...

Li Qi left Red Maple City, but he didn't go too far. He found a secluded spot nearby to hide.

After setting up a hidden Restriction to cut off outside observation, he ducked inside.

Throwing out the dog-like Dragon Abyss Saint King, Li Qi gave a sneer. He condensed two more Golden Dawn Keys and slapped them into Dragon Abyss Saint King's body.

The Golden Dawn Keys moved nimbly through various parts of Dragon Abyss Saint King's body. Under Li Qi's control, they were like two agile fish, and they soon found the two things they were looking for...

The two Sacred Thrones that Dragon Abyss Saint King had fused with!

The Golden Dawn Keys were slowly inserted into the golden points of light at the center of the saintly core imprints. Amidst a series of mechanical clicking sounds, the Golden Dawn Keys quickly locked onto Dragon Abyss Saint King's two Sacred Thrones, forming a tight connection.

The corner of Li Qi's mouth curled up. "It's done."

The Golden Dawn Key was Li Qi's unique possession. It could establish a close link between him and a saintly core imprint. On one hand, it could be used to accelerate his own process of Fusion with a saintly core imprint; on the other hand, it could be used to plunder the imprints of other Saint Kings.

After establishing a connection with the two Sacred Thrones inside Dragon Abyss Saint King, Li Qi's power was continuously injected through the Golden Dawn Keys, beginning the struggle for ownership of these two Sacred Thrones.

Intense pain began to strike. The unconscious Dragon Abyss Saint King's brow furrowed tightly, his body trembled, and his face showed a look of agony, but his eyes remained tightly shut, and he did not wake.

Dragon Abyss Saint King was not only heavily injured and long since unconscious, but he was also constantly suppressed by Li Qi's power. Not only did his injuries show no sign of recovery, but there was also no sign of him regaining consciousness.

Under Li Qi's suppression, the process of stripping the Sacred Thrones went smoothly without encountering much resistance.

Dragon Abyss Saint King's Realm also began to loosen and fluctuate, like a building on the verge of collapse.

Before long, Dragon Abyss Saint King could no longer maintain the Saint King Realm. The Aura radiating from his body crashed down, causing him to fall from a dignified Saint King... to a Dao Ancestor.

At the same time, two streaks of golden light emerged from Dragon Abyss Saint King's body.

The Sacred Thrones within him... had been completely stripped away!
