Chapter 1581: Nine Resentments, Nine Hatreds
The reason they were stunned was obvious as well. It was because the Chief Libationist’s power far exceeded their expectations, of course.
Right now, the Chief Libationist was still being suppressed and restrained by the Five Dragons Grabbing Suns Profound Restriction. He could probably use only fifty to sixty percent of his true strength. However, it turned out that fifty or sixty percent power was all he needed to beat up a fellow champion of the Heavenly Champions Ranking like a dog. How could they not be stunned by his power?
Had the Chief Libationist been at full strength, could he have squashed the Ghost Ancestor of Mount Mang like a bug?
It was possible. If one slap wasn’t enough, two slaps would do it. And if two slaps still couldn’t do it, then three slaps must do it. There simply couldn’t be a fourth or fifth slap. That was how terrifyingly powerful he was.
If the spectators were merely stunned, then Emperor Jing Run was both stunned and afraid.
It was because he realized that he ultimately underestimated the Chief Libationist, of course.
To be honest, he did not treat the Chief Libationist lightly. On the contrary, he had done literally everything he could possibly do to prepare against him. However, it wasn’t until now that he realized he never knew just how strong the Chief Libationist really was.
On his throne, Emperor Jing Run was white-faced, trembling all over, and sweating like it was raining. It wasn’t just because of shock and fear, anger and hatred though. Maintaining the Five Dragons Grabbing Suns Profound Restriction put immense stress on him. Mobilizing an entire empire’s will and power took tremendous effort as well.
Seeing that the Ghost Ancestor of Mount Mang was tethering on the brink of collapse, a hint of viciousness flickered in Emperor Jing Run’s eyes. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood on the jade seal.
Emperor Jing Run turned as pale as death after throwing up that mouthful of blood, but the jade seal he was holding flashed much brighter than before. The next moment, the four cardinal directions and the suns the five dragons were carrying in their mouths turned red as blood. Then, the dragons let go of the suns.
The bloody suns fell, and the entire world turned pure red. Not one speck of any other color could be found.
When the bloody suns fell, the Chief Libationist fell uncontrollably from the sky as if someone just hit him in the head, or a heavy object suddenly weighed down on his shoulders.
