CHAPTER 1147: 1147 THE DEATH OF JI BATIAN! (3RD UPDATE)

The black gas transformed into a large cocoon, completely enveloping Ye Qiu, and a thumping sound could be heard.

Inside the cocoon, invisible to outsiders, Ye Qiu’s previously calm and motionless chest began to rise and fall, pulsate.

The thumping sound was indeed coming from Ye Qiu’s chest or more precisely, his heart.

Resurrection?

In fact, Ye Qiu wasn’t dead, just temporarily asphyxiated, entering a state of false death as a protective instinct of the body.

When Ji Batian crushed him with deadly pressure, Ye Qiu activated the Great Turtle Breath Evasion Technique.

The extremity of the Turtle Breath paused his heartbeat, which was the scene witnessed by everyone, making it appear that Ye Qiu had no heartbeat.

This was the fundamental means by which he deceived Ji Batian into believing Ye Qiu was dead.

Moreover, Ye Qiu hadn’t sustained severe injuries, for this Great Turtle Breath Evasion Technique not only hid his breath to the extreme but also evaded harm.

This is why it is called the Evasion Technique, because by practicing this cultivation technique, he can deflect any force impacting him, safeguarding him from harm.

At a critical moment, relying on the Great Turtle Breath Evasion Technique saved his life.

Ye Qiu prepared to recover, but during the process, he suddenly discovered another anomaly within his dantian.

The remnant eyeball.

He hadn’t observed the remnant eyeball for some time; even upon reaching the King Realm, he hadn’t paid attention to it.

But now, Ye Qiu was surprised to find that the remnant eyeball had undergone significant change.

It was no longer blood-colored, but entirely golden, emanating a golden glow.

Ye Qiu stared at the pupil of the remnant eyeball, and instantly, he lost his mind.

The cocoon vibrated, the sound of the heartbeat grew louder, resonating from ten miles to hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of miles.

Ultimately, even the beast god and Ji Batian battling on the Ninth Heaven heard the resonance.

The vibration echoed throughout the universe, meanwhile, the cocoon began to float.

Ascending, ever higher.

Shoo, shoo, shoo...

The cocoon swiftly reached the Nine Heavens, a primordial aura immediately swept across.

The beast god and Ji Batian separated, pausing momentarily, as this primordial aura made them wary and vigilant.

This aura was immense, majestic, and brimming with dominance.

Almost as if a Supreme Demon Emperor was approaching.

A black cocoon appeared between the two.

Ji Batian frowned, unsure of the origin of the cocoon, unaware of Ye Qiu’s transformation, pondering darkly what this thing could be, sensing great danger.

The beast god swiftly retreated, feeling the aura of death, especially the vibrations within the cocoon, which seemed to it like a powerful heartbeat resonating throughout the universe; what kind of power was that?

Even the beast god could not comprehend it.

"What is this? See me smash you," Ji Batian watched the cocoon hover unstably, then immediately punched, only for the punch to vanish like a cow in the sea, without a trace.

Hmm?

Ji Batian was slightly surprised, unwilling to accept defeat, he continued with another strike.

The result remained unchanged, the cocoon appeared as a black hole, silently absorbing the attack.

"I am a Martial Artist of the Void Breaking Realm, and I can’t destroy you?" Ji Batian angrily exclaimed, with his current power, he was unmatched in ancient lands, except for the beast god he had no other opponent, yet he couldn’t smash the cocoon; Ji Batian was furious.

"Destroy."

He directly invoked an attack, pressing the Nine Heavens Galaxy downward.

The cocoon was like a bottomless pit, swallowing all of Ji Batian’s channeling, finally causing Ji Batian to be shocked, he immediately cut off the channeling, fearing his water path profundity would be devoured.

What is this thing?

Ji Batian realized its terror, his eyes flickered, not sure whether to continue destroying it or to halt, he hesitated.

At that moment, the cocoon suddenly cracked with countless fine lines, beaming light through the gaps.

Ji Batian and the beast god retreated a few steps, with the increased vibrations, the cocoon finally broke open, splitting into two.

What?

Ji Batian gazed at the cocoon, initially thinking a monster would emerge, yet it was Ye Qiu.

Now, Ye Qiu stood in mid-air, eyes shut, entire body enveloped in black gas.

Wasn’t he dead?

Ji Batian was certain he had killed Ye Qiu just now; how could he appear here? Could it be borrowing a corpse for resurrection?

"Impossible!" Ji Batian repeatedly shook his head.

The beast god attempted to transmit a thread of spiritual power, to communicate with Ye Qiu, yet before reaching him, it encountered a barrier that severed the spiritual power, making the beast god tremble.

It too was unable to discern Ye Qiu.

"Feigning immortality from death, since I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time." Ji Batian said coldly, intending not to leave Ye Qiu intact; he sought to utterly crush him, to see if he could still manage such an act.

Swoosh.

Ji Batian dashed forward, ready to strike, but a sudden mighty force repelled him.

"This is impossible." Ji Batian was stunned; he had unleashed Void Breaking power, yet was easily repulsed.

"Again."

Ji Batian continued wielding Void Breaking power, launching fierce attacks on the motionless Ye Qiu

Yet each attempt was fruitless, his attacks repelled, failing to shatter Ye Qiu; they nearly harmed himself.

Ji Batian panted, even battling the beast god wasn’t so exhausting, moreover Ye Qiu stood there; he didn’t even move.

How could such a tiny ant in his eyes be so mysterious, even his Void Breaking power couldn’t completely obliterate him?

"Ye boy, alive or dead?" At this moment, the beast god displayed astonishment, Ji Batian’s successive strikes had no effect, yet Ye Qiu hovered in the air, unflinching, even the beast god was perplexed.

"This boy’s aura is peculiar, I wonder what Ji Batian will do? Unable to even touch Ye boy’s hem, he must be furious." The beast god chuckled, amused by the unfolding scene.

Ji Batian fixed his gaze on Ye Qiu, attacking again, confident in his strength, he should be able to reach Ye Qiu.

The stubborn Ji Batian bombarded incessantly, yet the outcome unchanged, he had no means against Ye Qiu.

While Ji Batian absorbed Spiritual Energy from the world, restoring his power, Ye Qiu suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant,

Ji Batian felt cold from blood to marrow, Ye Qiu’s gaze immobilized him.

He was frightened by those eyes demonstrating an unmatched might, far beyond the emperor’s gaze; it was an indifferent to all beings, supreme divine demeanor.

Even Ji Batian at Void Breaking Realm felt dreadful before such supreme authority.

"Ant, dare to touch my flesh!"

Like a distant cosmic voice, or the voice of the Great Tao, Ye Qiu spoke, sending Ji Batian into an icy abyss.

Soon, Ye Qiu moved to Ji Batian, stood before him, raising his arm.

A crimson, pulsating heart emerged from Ji Batian’s body.

"No..." Ji Batian reached out.

Godlike, Ye Qiu remained unmoved: "This is the consequence of your offense, cleanse it with death."

Saying this, his five fingers squeezed, the heart in his hand immediately made a squelching sound.

The heart burst.

Ji Batian’s eyes widened, watching life disappear gradually.
