"They're all here. Good, very good. You all want to witness the defining moment of this epoch, the moment when life burns brightest? My wager with the Eternal Emperor, the wager between the Hundred Sages of the Scholars and the Holy Emperors, will be settled today."
Hong Yi held the Great Liberation Wheel in one hand and surveyed the gathering. His might was unmatched.
After refining Hong Xuanji, he possessed three divine artifacts of the highest order, had mastered the Great Liberation Art, had attained the Yang Spirit with his soul, and had shattered the vacuum with his body. He was invincible. Even the Creation Daoist might not be able to subdue him.
The Creation Daoist had not intervened when Hong Yi killed Hong Xuanji. Partly, he had been deterred by the Great Liberation Art. But Hong Yi's power had also grown tremendously after he attained the Yang Spirit. Even at his peak, the Creation Daoist might not have been able to bring him down.
And now that Hong Yi had refined Hong Xuanji, he had even less chance.
If Hong Xuanji had been an ordinary expert who had shattered the vacuum, he could never have been refined into a treasure surpassing the Yuan-Yang Giant Axe and Heaven-Opening Ruyi, let alone raised to the level of a divine artifact of the highest order.
But Hong Xuanji had fused with the remains of Holy Emperor Hong, and his body contained the Mother of the Five Elements and the Source of Ten Thousand Origins.
Together, all these powerful things had given rise to a new divine artifact of the highest order.
The Immortal Monument, the Great Liberation Wheel, and the Hall of the Myriad Sages—these three supreme divine artifacts had forged Hong Yi's present might and made him an eternal legend.
