1039 - The dust and soil of ten thousand years
Chapter 1039, The dust and soil of ten thousand years
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] which was emitting bright yellow mist, like an orange meteor, broke though the Quasi-emperor's Dao sound waves, speeding towards [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].
And the moment the cauldron left him, Ye Qingyu felt the terrifying raging force that resembled the tide of destruction. Facing the aftermath of the Quasi-emperor battle, sharp severe pains spread all over his body like blades scraping his flesh, and as if his limbs would split apart the next moment. Ye Qingyu immediately summoned out the [Blood Drinker Sword Pill] to his hand, and at the same time, a white stone pill cauldron appeared in his left hand, which, under the injection of yuan qi, was flickering with strange white light waves, counteracting the impact of the aftermath of the Quasi-emperor's battle to a certain extent.
“You... are you crazy?” Jiang Xiaohan exclaimed again upon seeing this scene.
She looked at Ye Qingyu with a bewildered expression.
Ye Qingyu didn't speak.
His eyes were firmly fixed on the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
He was only hoping that it could reach the hands of [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].
However——
Boom!
“That junior dares to spoil our big plan... die.”
Quasi-emperor Mushan looked back and recognized Ye Qingyu right away. His eyes were flashing killing intent, and he was overflowing with Emperor qi.
A giant finger formed between the violet formation chains, exactly aiming at the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
Clang.
There was a strange resonant clang.
The bell sounded as though it was ringing in the hearts of everyone. All experts in the area felt as if an invisible hammer had struck their heart. It was an extremely bizarre feeling.
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] was seen releasing a layer of pale yellow light markings as it struck the violet finger, like the ripples formed when a stone is thrown into a calm lake. The inscription on the walls of the cauldron flashed, seemingly retaliating. Soon after, the giant violet finger collapsed, but the [Cloud Top Cauldron] was also exhausted, its light markings began to dim, as though it had lost all its power.
It had blocked the finger of a Quasi-emperor?!
All of the experts who had witnessed the scene were greatly surprised.
“Hey? A good chance.”
In the distance, a figure cried out, transforming into a stream of light and sped towards the dimmed [Cloud Top Cauldron].
He was going snatch the cauldron.
Anyone could see that the cauldron was a treasure. Under the attack of a Quasi-emperor, not only was it not destroyed, but it had shattered the finger of a Quasi-emperor. Why not take advantage of this moment when the huge cauldron had suffered a blow and was out of control to take possession of it.
Almost at the same time, there were two or three figures rushing towards the [Cloud Top Cauldron] that had been sent flying.
Everyone wanted to snatch the cauldron.
“You want to die.”
Ye Qingyu was infuriated.
At this time, if [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] were defeated, the Four Stars Sect and that Lord of the dark [Camp] would rule the world, and then all of the people present would have to die. These experts were really shortsighted to not know to unite to reverse the present situation and instead were still fighting each other.
Without killing, the bad people would not be deterred.
Ye Qingyu shook his hand slightly, the white jade stone cauldron floated above his head, emitting white mist that hung down to shroud him. While the [Blood Drinker Sword Pill] transformed into a sword net that fully protected him. Then Ye Qingyu's ten fingers were constantly changing and pinched together. It was unknown how many hand seals he had performed, forming an ancient mysterious symbol.
“The sky as the cover, the ground as fire, life as the medium, and the mundane world as the furnace. The refining of three thousand creatures... complete, medicine pour out to the world!”
Ye Qingyu recited an ancient pill mantra in a slow rhythm yet was completed in the blink of an eye.
A red pill medicine appeared on his chest.
It was the fire pill that Ye Qingyu found in the [Tusita Palace] before.
The fire pill, triggered by the ancient mysterious symbol that Ye Qingyu formed with hand seals, flew out right away.
“The [Pill Control] technique!”
The Four Stars holy girl exclaimed upon seeing this scene.
And the [White Jade Capital] successor as well as the Crown Prince of the Black Demon Abyss also had a look of utter shock across their face.
It was the lost [Pill Control] technique!
Ye Qingyu had even mastered such a secret technique.
The [Pill Control] technique belonged to the Dao Pill Emperor of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, and had once deterred an era and crushed thousands of races. The [Pill Control] technique had dominated an era, but later was lost with the disappearance of the Dao Pill Emperor. He did not leave behind any inheritance, and in the end disappeared from the heavens and earth. But compared to the original Dao Pill Emperor, it was like a spark and the scorching sun; the gap was tremendous.
In particular, the [Pill Control] technique had not reappeared for more than tens of thousands of years.
Because this was a top attacking technique that had demanding cultivation requirements. It not only asked the pill cultivator to possess a strong cultivation base, but also to have the cooperation of a divine pill. The ordinary pills only had the effect of saving lives, how could it possess the power to kill? Any one of the two was difficult to achieve, let alone that the [Pill Control] technique required martial arts and the pill to fuse?
Nobody expected this supreme pill technique to reappear on Ye Qingyu.
What kind of secret did the deputy envoy of the Human Race have?
These thoughts flashed through the minds of all experts present.
At the same time, the terrifying power of [Pill Control] technique had already revealed fierce fangs.
The fire pill that launched out initially resembled a little spark in the magnificent cosmic starry sky, but the next moment the little spark, as though it had fallen into a pot of oil, all of a sudden lit up a large area of Void with an explosive boom. An ancient fire dragon of hundreds of kilometers emerged from the sea of fire. With the slam of the dragon tail, the figures that had attempted to snatch the [Cloud Top Cauldron] were directly swatted away like flies.
One of the figures in front was directly crushed by the giant dragon tail, broken into tens of millions of fragments, scattering in the Void. Then, the Ddagon tail that was shrouded in pill flames prevented him from assembling back together, instantly incinerating him.
“Ah...” Another figure screamed out tragically, his body set aflame with pill fire, frantically retreating.
The other figures were similarly engulfed by the flames of the divine dragon, screaming and pulling back rapidly.
The divine flame dragon shuttled back and forth like lightning, its huge body wrapped around the [Cloud Top Cauldron], bringing it over to Ye Qingyu, shrank, and eventually turned into a red divine pill and suspended above Ye Qingyu's head.
Ye Qingyu had once again regained control of the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
He did not speak, did not pursue those who tried to snatch the cauldron, but continued to activate all the yuan qi in his body, and with the help of the power of the fire pill, again triggered the [Cloud Top Cauldron] using the one hundred eight ancient characters, even the power of the [Blood Drinker Sword] was utilized. The dull [Cloud Top Cauldron] once again was flashing blinding brilliance, bright yellow mist pouring out. The aura was countless times more powerful than when Ye Qingyu activated it the last time.
He was going to try again.
He must send the [Cloud Top Cauldron] to the hands of [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].
Quasi-emperor Mushan, whose attack had failed, had completely fixed his attention on Ye Qingyu. The junior who was like an ant in his eyes had unexpectedly dared to go against the will of a Quasi-emperor again and again. His tremendous dharma body took another turn, temporarily abandoning the battle against [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] to charge toward Ye Qingyu.
“Die!”
The giant violet foot lifted up, like stepping on an ant, stomp back down at Ye Qingyu.
This time it was not the remarkable ability of a Quasi-emperor, but the dharma body of a Quasi-emperor stomping down. His purple footprint covered a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers that even the power of law simply would not allow any avoidance and resistance, and even a star would be trampled to fine powder. Under the fluctuation of the law, all the experts were like loach in a flood, retreating uncontrollably.
Ye Qingyu only felt as if the weight of the whole world was pressing down on his body.
[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] in the distance did not come to his rescue right away upon seeing this scene.
“Brother Lu Wei, still not making a move? What are you waiting for?” He dodged the lightning cone and hammer and the attack of the [Four Stars Sword].
Before his voice faded.
“Sigh, tens of thousands of years of dust and soil, the sin and achievements of three thousand worlds... Who saves the world, who is intoxicated by the railing? The aged person who is no longer young enters into the worldly affairs without hiding away his achievements or name,” an old voice sounded.
Then, everyone only felt that an unfathomable, extremely distant and strange power had appeared without warning.
This power was not in the slightest bit weaker than the strength of the four Quasi-emperors, but also contained otherworldly might and pressure.
Then there were two more figures at Ye Qingyu's side.
One of the figures, calm and unruffled, lifted his hand and gathered into a fist to meet the giant violet foot of Quasi-emperor Mushan.
Boom!
The sound of the great Dao resounded.
Quasi-emperor Mushan gasped in pain, his huge body staggered and reeled back, and his face twisted with shock.
“Who are you?” he shouted.
Ye Qingyu was incredibly surprised to see the two figures next to him.
It was the strange crane-haired and young-looking old man, and the stubborn and arrogant youngster Lu Wei.
And the person who made the move was the old man.
To be able to counter the attack of Quasi-emperor Mushan, the old man's strength was indeed frightening and should at least be a Quasi-emperor existence.
It was another Quasi-emperor!
“Help me look after Little Wei.” The old man smiled at Ye Qingyu, before stepping toward the Quasi-emperor battlefield in huge strides.
With every step he made, his figure was doubled in size.
In the blink of an eye, he had already taken ten steps.
The old man's figure was as great as that of a Fiendgod, and not in the slightest bit inferior to the other four Quasi-emperors.
It was indeed another Quasi-emperor.
The eyes of the experts around were wide with shock, mouth gaping open.
Ye Qingyu also rubbed his eyes, bit the tip of his tongue to check that it was not an illusion.
The old man was a Quasi-emperor?
He was already aware that the crane-haired old man was extraordinary before, but did not dare to associate him with being a Quasi-emperor. Ye Qingyu’s heart was suddenly replaced by great joy and excitement to know that not everyone was standing on the side of the chaotic and evil [Camp]. At the critical moment there was still a supreme existence in the Human Race.
This Quasi-emperor was obviously acquainted with [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], and was standing on the side of [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].
Reinforcements were finally here.
Ye Qingyu felt that the weight on his shoulder had lightened, and could finally take a deep breath.
“You were lucky to reach the Dao, promoted to Quasi-emperor, but do not know how to cherish it, and hastily got involved in the calamity, picked up the fruit of karma.” The old man blocked Quasi-emperor Mushan's path, eyes glowed with wisdom and pity.
When the old man spoke, his silver hair was fluttering in the air, like a plant growing wildly. In the desolate and dark starry sky, his hair and beard were twinkling with silvery glow, like leaping silver flames. In the blink of an eye it was unknown how many kilometers it had extended across, seemingly to wrap around the entire Quasi-emperor battlefield.
This was evidently a divine ability——
