526: Shocked the world

Every Sacred Throne looked the same—a golden ring adorned with a small golden dot, emitting a golden shimmer and shining brilliantly.

The two Sacred Thrones within Dragon Abyss Saint King were no different. Li Qi had seen the appearance of a Sacred Throne before, so aside from a slight ripple of emotion, his heart was unexpectedly calm.

"There are a total of 333 Sacred Thrones in the world, and now I have three of them in my hands."

As he spoke, Li Qi began the Fusion of these two Sacred Thrones into his own body.

Then, Li Qi's gaze fell upon Dragon Abyss Saint King lying on the ground, his eyes showing a hint of deliberation.

This fellow isn't dead yet... How should he be handled now?

The current Dragon Abyss Saint King was no longer a Saint King; his original Realm was long gone, and he was now merely a slightly more powerful Dao Ancestor.

For such a person, losing their power was more painful than being killed. Even if they didn't die, their future would inevitably be incredibly miserable.

"Should I... let him go?"

"Leave him to fend for himself?!"

These Saint Kings usually acted with great arrogance and overbearingness, offending many people. Previously, they were Saint Kings with supreme power, so even if they offended others, no one dared to seek revenge.

Now that a Saint King was no longer a Saint King, his past enemies would surely all emerge, one by one, to kick him while he was down.

If the current Dragon Abyss Dao Ancestor were to appear before the world like this... he would undoubtedly die!

But Li Qi quickly dismissed this thought. He couldn't leave Dragon Abyss Dao Ancestor to fend for himself; it would be safer to just kill him directly.

Dragon Abyss Dao Ancestor had fought with him. Although Li Qi had held back during the fight and many of his trump cards weren't revealed, some of his methods and abilities might still be exposed by this fellow.

"In that case, I cannot let you live..."

"Rest in peace, and try to be a good person in your next life!"

Li Qi raised his hand and waved. The power belonging to a Saint King swept out, enveloping Dragon Abyss Dao Ancestor's body.

After a miserable scream, the other's body turned into dust and vanished without a trace.

The Dragon Abyss Saint King, who once dominated the Realm... has fallen!

Although Li Qi had obtained two more Sacred Thrones, it would still take some time to completely fuse and absorb them to convert them into strength.

Even at his fastest, it would take a year or two to accomplish.

"Forget it, I'll lay low for a while and fuse these two Sacred Thrones first..."

Li Qi went into hiding once again, refining the two newly acquired Sacred Thrones at full speed...

...

Although Li Qi had withdrawn from the spotlight, the storm he caused grew more intense, sweeping through the entire Ancient Origin Realm.

Dragon Abyss Saint King had disappeared!

The first to notice the abnormality... were Dragon Abyss Saint King's subordinates.

Although Saint Kings usually came and went as they pleased, making it hard for outsiders to track them—and even most of Dragon Abyss Saint King's subordinates were unaware of his movements—his confidants definitely knew.

Yet these confidants discovered to their horror that they could no longer contact this Saint King.

The Saint King had vanished...

There was no way to contact the Saint King. Everyone gradually realized something was wrong, and an unthinkable thought appeared in their minds.

"Could it be... Dragon Abyss Saint King is dead?"

"How is that possible?"

Dragon Abyss Saint King had stood tall in the Ancient Origin Realm for tens of millions of years. During this long period, he had encountered countless crises, large and small... but he had survived them all.

How could he suddenly fall this time?

Not only Dragon Abyss Saint King's subordinates, but even the other Saint Kings noticed the abnormality.

As these people investigated, the reason for Dragon Abyss Saint King's disappearance... actually pointed directly to that Child of the Great Path!

The Child of the Great Path is in the Ancient Origin Realm?

Dragon Abyss Saint King... was killed by the Child of the Great Path?!

It was impossible for a Dao Ancestor to achieve such a feat. Could it be that the Child of the Great Path had already reached the Saint King Realm?

How could that be possible either?

Setting everything else aside, where did that Child of the Great Path's Sacred Throne come from?

How could he manage to get a Sacred Throne under the pursuit of so many Saint Kings... and then Breakthrough to the Saint King Realm in such a short amount of time?

Among the four Saint Kings of the Ancient Origin Realm, Glazed Saint King was the strongest, standing high above with three Sacred Thrones fused.

Sky Saint King and Sanskrit Sound Saint King had each only fused one Sacred Throne and were weaker, but they always moved together to support each other, allowing them to establish a foothold and survive in the Ancient Origin Realm.

Dragon Abyss Saint King possessed two Sacred Thrones, placing him in the middle.

But a Saint King with such strength had actually just died?

He couldn't even manage to escape?

This brought immense pressure to the other Saint Kings.

While the commotion outside grew more intense, Li Qi ignored it entirely, refining the Sacred Thrones at full speed within the Restriction he had set up.

Li Qi also discovered something: after fusing one Sacred Throne, his body's compatibility with Sacred Thrones seemed to have improved significantly, further accelerating his Fusion speed.

In less than eight months, he successfully fused the second Sacred Throne, reaching the same height as the previous Dragon Abyss Saint King.

"Very good, two Sacred Thrones fused."

"Continue..."

Just as he was preparing to fuse the third Sacred Throne, a strange throb emerged from Li Qi's heart, causing him to startle.

"This is?!"

Li Qi closed his eyes and concentrated, sensing the source of this throb. Soon, a peculiar look appeared on his face.

"I've finally waited long enough... Saint Demon."

"You have finally come back to life..."
