Becoming a primal ancestor was something emperors couldn’t give up regardless of years past or effort spent.

Specter Ancestor was only an inch away but Li Qiye’s interference ruined his process. This was a feud beyond killing someone’s father, hence Specter losing his composure.

“None.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Then why did you disrupt my dao enlightenment?” The ghost market trembled before Specter’s rage.

“Because you blocked my path.” Li Qiye said.

Listeners became speechless because Li Qiye spoke as if preventing someone from becoming a primal ancestor was trivial.

“Retribution will be had!” Specter gritted his teeth.

Everyone could sense his hatred. They sympathized and would have tried to kill Li Qiye already.

“I don’t mind if you wish to die.” Li Qiye waved and said: “Your personal cultivation does not warrant the primal level. Be smart and leave, stop making more mistakes.”

He looked like a shopkeeper waving away a beggar from disturbing the customers. Specter didn’t know how to feel since he had grown used to being the second strongest after Immortal Suppressor. The humiliation was unprecedented.

“I can’t let this go.” He uttered coldly.

“Feel free to pick whether you want to live or die.” Li Qiye smiled.

“So be it, die!” He roared. His ghost energy erupted and summoned numerous tornados, breaking the mountains nearby into pieces.

“Damn!” Cultivators were scared out of their mind.

A tornado of energy wrapped around his arm, making it stronger than ever. It seemingly wielded the power of the heaven, capable of obliterating any cultivator in the ghost market.

“He’s still the second strongest in Sin.” Someone trembled in horror.

“I don’t think so.” Another also shuddered but disagreed with this notion, their eyes fixated on Li Qiye.

The original ranks were fine but the devilish Li Qiye changed everything. Li Qiye being stronger than Immortal Suppressor wasn’t inconceivable.

“Clank!” He pulled a dao law from the scripture within the pond.

This particular one caused the big shots to gasp. The scripture had never been opened before but Specter Ancestor used his raw power to seize part of its power.

“Ghost Ascension, Heavenly Dao Blade!” He roared furiously before delivering a vertical slash.

“Not good!” Everyone saw an image of a slash capable of severing the ghost market into two halves. No emperor could survive this move since this dao sword exceeded any imperial weapon.

“We’re finished!” People screamed in horror.

“Bam!” Everything came to a stop but the expected outcome surprised them.

They saw Li Qiye blocking the dao sword with his bare hand, completely uninjured.

Jaws dropped to the ground because of how effortlessly he made it seem. People rubbed their eyes in astonishment.

“Know your limit.” Li Qiye said and grabbed the scripture itself.

No one could remove it but he picked it up like a brick and smashed Specter Ancestor mercilessly, sending him flying.

As he vomited blood midair, Li Qiye didn’t stop and smashed him three more times. His supreme defenses couldn’t stop the heavenly scripture.

It smashed his face, pulverizing the flesh and making him unrecognizable.
