"Have you noticed that your mana is growing heavier and heavier, harder and harder to sense, while your thoughts become increasingly muddled?"
Wang Qi's words pierced Holy Emperor's consciousness like a demon's voice boring into his brain.
Holy Emperor felt cold to the marrow. In his panic, he charged at Wang Qi, wanting to seize Wang Qi by the throat and force everything out of him. Wang Qi flashed aside, deploying the Unfathomable Body Technique and entering a state where neither his position nor speed could be determined at the same time. Holy Emperor actually grabbed empty air.
He had missed a Core Formation Cultivator!
In Holy Emperor's perception, Wang Qi's speed at that moment was clearly at the Mahayana Stage standard, yet he displayed no overwhelming power. He was still merely at Core Formation!
Merely at Core Formation!
That violent contradiction finally surfaced in Holy Emperor's mind. His chest tightened, and he nearly coughed up blood from the agony.
Wang Qi looked down at Holy Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you absorbed Tianshu Tower's library, didn't you?"
Holy Emperor froze. "I clearly didn't absorb the problematic Tianshu Tower..."
He shut his mouth halfway through the sentence. Given the schemes Wang Qi had displayed just now, those problematic Tianshu Towers could only have been deliberately exposed by Wang Qi himself, all to lower Holy Emperor's guard.
And within Tianshu Tower's laws, the portion concerning the Five Virtues of the Primordial had been canceled out by Hong Yuanshen using the Five Elements of the Primordial. What remained was the portion Wang Qi had tampered with.
The string of attacks afterward had actually been unnecessary, because Wang Qi had already planted the most deadly thing inside Holy Emperor by then.
A purely destructive God Plague Curse with most of its restrictions removed!
