Li Qiye didn’t bat an eye at the dreadful assault, only resorting to raising one hand.
“Boom!” Everything around him started sinking down; not even the unstoppable attacks could get through.
The opponents roared and channeled all of their dao and chaos true energy. This was proven futile all the same.
He then pushed his hand downward, creating an energy palm in the air with a supreme power. The strongest cultivators were instantly suppressed while weaker ones fell to their knees, unable to resist his power.
In this crucial moment, a divine protector of Azure Peak finally arrived and witnessed this scene.
“Young Noble, please recall your power. The little ones do not know of you, please forgive their insolence.” The protector’s expression turned from astonishment to joy after seeing Li Qiye.
He was an old man with a tall frame seemingly made from metal - an entity built to protect.
Li Qiye pulled back his hand and didn’t say anything to the kneeling protector. The suppressed cultivators heaved a sigh of relief after being freed from the suppression.
They exchanged glances in confusion, realizing that this was above their level since they had never experienced such a powerful pressure.
After a long while, the maelstrom gained a green color and fully encompassed the woman, pulling her into another dimension of the tree.
Li Qiye then finally paid attention to the others.
“Young Noble, do you recognize me?” The divine protector kneeled before Li Qiye with tears streaming down: “You entrusted the tree with me back in the nine worlds, I didn’t expect to be able to see you again.”
He was none other than Sentinel Treant who had participated in Boss Tang’s auction. Back in the nine worlds, he was known as Soldier Tree who was tasked with protecting the new lifeform. After an epoch of cultivation, he had reached an unimaginable level of cultivation.
“Seems like you did not waste your time.” Li Qiye smiled and helped him up.
“It is all thanks to you, Young Noble. I ascended to guard the lord while Soulvine stayed behind.” The old man said.
