Chapter 1167: We're all pawns
"It seems His Majesty is still a step behind me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the dark golden aura around Qin Yiyao suddenly surged!
At that moment, the entire destiny of the Azure Ancient Divine Kingdom began to tremble!
Countless people suddenly felt a strange palpitation, as if something was awakening in their hearts, calling out to and guiding them.
That is an instinct etched deep in one's mind and heart.
"No wonder they want you dead. I am quite envious of your extraordinary abilities."
"But I have been building this up for countless years; how could you, a mere immature girl, possibly overtake me so easily?"
The Ancient God Lord was so angry that he laughed instead.
But at this moment he was completely focused, and his opponent had forced him to deal with the situation with all his might.
It wasn't because she was so strong, but because she could simply stand there and do nothing to take away everything she had painstakingly planned.
Qinggu Divine Lord roared, and his aura surged!
He formed hand seals, drawing upon the power of the entire divine sacrificial formation to suppress Qin Yiyao's pull with all his might.
The two forces collided violently in mid-air!
In that instant, the entire Azure Ancient God trembled!
Countless citizens looked up in terror, only to see that the heavens of the divine kingdom had been torn in two, and two incredibly clear yet chaotic and unknowable forces were colliding and devouring each other!
"You're only at the peak of the Nirvana Realm, not even at the Concept Realm. So what if you have a natural rank?"
"I have already reached the peak of the Concept Realm, and with the blessing of the divine sacrifice, I am stepping into the Quasi-God Realm!"
"To have such a position in your possession is a waste of talent. Today, I will seize your position, stepping over your corpse to ascend to the throne!"
Qinggu Divine Lord took a deep breath and suppressed his surging emotions.
What about position?
How can the gap in cultivation level be bridged by a mere rank?
The divine sense of the Azure Ancient God Lord trembled, and the vast Daoist energy of the dynasty instantly condensed into a colossal hand that covered the sky, slamming down on the Observation Platform!
Qin Yiyao's eyes were cold and aloof.
Although she had the advantage of her status, the power of the peak of the Concept Realm was pressing down on her at this moment, and the space around her had already been squeezed out with an indescribable sense of stagnation. Having directly felt the power of such a supreme expert, Qin Yiyao dared not be negligent.
She knew she was almost certain to succeed, but she couldn't easily forget the humiliating experience she had in her past life.
Even a lion goes all out when hunting a rabbit; she's more like a rabbit now, so we can't be careless at all.
She quickly invoked and formed a hand seal, and the God Emperor Battle Formation swelled in the wind, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-tall black wall that stretched across the sky!
The giant hand collided with the flag, unleashing a deafening roar!
"Ok?"
Qinggu Shenjun's expression changed.
The opponent was clearly aware that this move had failed to move him.
He had used all his strength in this move. Not to mention the peak of the Nirvana Realm, even an ordinary Origin Stage existence in the Concept Realm would die on the spot, and the Azure Ancient God City would be completely destroyed into ruins!
He could clearly sense that this girl was only at the peak of the Nirvana Realm, still a step away from the Concept Realm!
The gap between the Nirvana Realm and the Conceptual Realm is no exaggeration to say it is an insurmountable chasm.
But she actually caught it?
There's something strange about that girl!
He could feel that the moment his power touched the girl, it was swallowed up by some stranger wave!
“Position…”
"You want to kill me?"
Qin Yiyao spoke softly, her voice not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the Ancient God.
"That depends on whether you have the ability."
next moment.
The battle flags of the God Emperor fluttered, and countless phantoms of battle spirits emerged from behind her.
Thousands upon thousands, overwhelming.
Those were the rulers of dynasties who had perished in the conquests of countless civilizations throughout countless eras.
They were once the most powerful force on this land, ruling over hundreds of millions of people and dominating the world.
Now, their remnant souls float silently behind Qin Yiyao, their ghostly eyes fixed on the Ancient God Lord.
There was no hostility or murderous intent, only a calm gaze.
It's like watching a clown.
The pupils of the Ancient God Lord suddenly contracted.
He recognized the phantoms.
Those are the remnant souls of the rulers of successive dynasties, including the old god-king of the Qinggu Divine Kingdom!
These once-powerful figures have been dead for a long time. After their deaths, there is only one place for them: to become members of the God Emperor's army. Only by relying on the divine power within the God Emperor's battle formation can they continue to exist as battle spirits!
"The Divine Emperor Battle Formation, is it in your hands?"
Qinggu Divine Lord had never seen the Divine Emperor Battle Formation before. This item had been seized by the Great Enemy of the Epoch during the last great war. At that time, he was merely the Crown Prince of the Divine Kingdom. He had only heard of the power of such a treasure of civilization, which was so overwhelming that it was difficult to overstep one's bounds.
Everyone knew this item was missing, so how did it end up in her hands?!
Surely Your Majesty can understand something like this?
"Or is it that you're unwilling to figure it out?"
Qin Yiyao gently grasped the battle flag handle, and the tail of the flag suddenly slammed against the observation platform. Instantly, thousands of divine emperors' battle armies burst forth with overwhelming battle intent, surging like a flood, even suppressing the aura of the Azure Ancient Divine Lord!
Anyone with eyes could see that Qinggu Shenjun was instantly at a disadvantage.
Moreover.
He used the power of the peak of the Concept Realm to support the divine sacrifice, but was suppressed by a junior who was at the peak of the Nirvana Realm and had a whole major realm less than him. He had already lost.
"You are a person of the Great Enemy of the Epoch."
Qinggu Shenjun's expression, on the contrary, was much calmer.
Once you understand some things, you'll suddenly feel a sense of vastness and openness.
That woman was qualified to be pushed to the forefront, and she also possessed the trump card of the God Emperor Battle Formation. She was undoubtedly a pawn of the great enemy of the era, and a key figure in a scheme whose true nature he did not know!
What about him?
He himself was a pawn.
It is a piece of the "Eternal Hand".
The envoy's meaning was not difficult to understand, especially after learning about Qin Yiyao's mastermind, Qinggu Shenjun was able to connect everything.
The Hand of Eternity doesn't care about Qin Yiyao's life or death, but the reason she's being targeted is entirely because of the great enemy of the era behind her!
However, the Hand of Eternity did not intend to personally eliminate it.
Logically speaking, this should be an easy task. They have the right to choose me as a pawn to give me the secret to becoming a god. So wouldn't it be a sure thing to deal with a peak Nirvana Realm cultivator?
No matter how you look at it, showing up and taking action directly is the best course of action; there's no reason not to do so.
But they simply don't intend to do it themselves.
Instead, they sent an envoy and selected a "chess piece" to place on the chessboard layout of the great enemy of the era, and the two sides played against each other!
He won, and the great enemy of the era's plans were ruined.
He lost, and his plan for the Hand of Eternity fell through.
"I understand that you are unwilling to say more about the identity of your behind-the-scenes helper. In your eyes, I may just be an insignificant junior, so why bother to say anything?"
Qin Yiyao didn't admit it much, but just quietly watched as Qing Gu Shenjun's gaze gradually deepened.
“I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not a pawn. My master treats me very well. Even if I have to take risks to break through barriers for his vision, it doesn’t matter.”
"But can you really say that?"
