Chapter 1209: Original form
However Sovereign Skyreach was disappointed.
Because Ye Qingyu unexpectedly nodded frankly, “You can tell? Yes, the [Geng Metal Pill] although it can only be activated once, but without using it I still have other ways to kill you two.”
Sovereign Skyreach simply couldn’t see any clues.
And the more Ye Qingyu admit that the [Geng Metal Pill] cannot be used again, the more suspicious Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather was.
In their view, Ye Qingyu was deliberately showing weakness, just as the previous burly Martial Emperor did and then operated his life Emperor technique, [Earth Stone Star], to suppress Ye Qingyu. This was clearly a trick. During a battle of life and death, if one easily believes in the opponent’s words, then that is almost no different to throwing away one's life.
For a moment, Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather were both a little hesitant.
The previous scene of Sovereign Dark Yellow being killed was too shocking. Although in their long life they had witnessed the scene of Martial Emperors falling, it was only the life yuan of the Martial Emperors being exhausted leading to their death, or that they had consumed all their strength in battle. It was unlike Sovereign Dark Yellow's sudden death. For existences of the Martial Emperor realm, it was simply too frightening. After all, once one steps into the Martial Emperor realm and sublimated, whether it was their battle strength or life, it would have reached an extremely terrifying level, and can only be slowly worn to death. An instantaneous killing was almost impossible. Even if besieged by dozens of Martial Emperors, it would be the same.
The power to instantaneous kill a Martial Emperor can be regarded as a kind of forbidden technique
And now, in the hands of Ye Qingyu, it was clear that he holds a forbidden technique that can lead to the sudden death of Martial Emperor.
This forbidden technique, for any Martial Emperor, was a great threat.
Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather were unsure what to do, and for a moment, dared not to make a move.
Ye Qingyu clasped the sword tighter and smiled, “You have been painstakingly planning for half a year, but are scared by a sentence of mine, I really feel embarrassed for you... Come on, let's fight, the [Geng Metal Pill] needs to store up power for one year in order to explode once. The forbidden weapon to kill Martial Emperor is extremely difficult to operate. I won’t lie to you. If you attack now, you still have a chance.”
He seemed to be impatiently hoping that the two great Martial Emperors would launch an attack.
And the more he was like this, the more the two great Martial Emperors were afraid to make a move.
Given their strength and realm, no matter what it is, there shouldn’t be any restraint to what they do. Even the destruction of a celestial body or the massacre of a race is decided in a moment. Once decided, they will certainly move like a flash of lightning, will they hesitate in the slightest? But this was based on an invincible situation. Once they find that their survival is threatened, in truth, even Martial Emperors were no different to ordinary people.
Ye Qingyu's urging made them feel that there is a trap waiting for them to drill in.
“Haha, I know, the [Geng Metal Pill] you mention must have some kind of time limit. So you keep urging us to make a move. When the time limit is over, that [Geng Metal Pill] won’t have any effect, hahaha.” Sovereign Dark Feather sneered, understanding dawning on his face. “
Ye Qingyu's countenance indeed changed abruptly.
“Haha, what a joke, two great Martial Emperors are working together to attack a junior, but are still overcautious and hesitant. The Emperor's prestige has been lost by you cowards.” Ye Qingyu's expression seemed a bit unnatural, laughing he said, “If your guess is correct, in that there is a time limit, then why would I be here talking nonsense and deliberately wasting time. Wouldn’t it be better to take the initiative to activate the [Geng Metal Pill] and kill you?”
Ye Qingyu's logic was absolutely correct.
But, in the ears of the two Martial Emperors, his words were more like sophistry, especially given Ye Qingyu's change of expression. They were absolutely certain that their speculation was correct and that Ye Qingyu just wanted to urge them to attack.
“Hahaha, since you will die no matter what today anyway, there is no need to hurry.”
“Yes, we will let you live for a few more hours so that you will suffer in the fear of death.”
The two great Martial Emperors had made up their mind, and decided to surround him without attacking for now.
As expected, Ye Qingyu's face revealed a hint of almost imperceptible impatience and disappointment, which was completely captured by the eyes of the two great Martial Emperors. This suggested that their speculation was correct, and made them stick to their decision.
“Well, since you are so cowardly, then excuse me for not keeping you company.”
Ye Qingyu deliberately turned around, his figure rapidly shrinking, and when he came to the [Cloud Top Cauldron], he was already the size of a normal person. As though walking through a light screen of nothingness, he penetrated the light shield of the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and appeared in front of Song Xiaojun.
Song Xiaojun anxiously rushed over, “Brother Qingyu, you... you okay?”
She was really anxious.
Because Ye Qingyu's opponents this time were true Martial Emperors, the world’s most invincible existences, and furthermore there were three of them.
“Don't worry, just clowns, how can they hurt me?”
Ye Qingyu smiled and held the little hand of Song Xiaojun; the action extremely natural.
His voice was very loud that the two Martial Emperors in the distance could naturally hear him clearly; however the two did not reveal the slightest anger upon hearing this, and instead were more certain that Ye Qingyu was deliberately acting and angering them.
The figures of the two great Martial Emperors gradually faded away, secretly activating the siege formation. All directions were blocked, pressure exerting down, and beams of flowing light were constantly bombarding the [Cloud Top Cauldron], producing loud booms with every strike, but were unable to shake the shield of the [Cloud Top Cauldron] in the slightest.
Ye Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, secretly regulated his breathing and made good use of the time to restore his strength.
Even as a Martial Emperor, the activation of the [Geng Metal Pill] still consumed a lot of strength.
This [Geng Metal Pill] was really incredibly terrifying. Back when Ye Qingyu killed the Quasi-emperor of the Four Stars Sect he also had to consume a significant amount of strength to activate it. This time, in order to instantly kill Sovereign Dark Yellow, he had consumed even more strength than before. In truth, he was currently in a very weak state. If the two Martial Emperors were to attack him now, he would certainly be in an incredibly difficult situation.
Unfortunately, the two great Martial Emperors were intimidated by Ye Qingyu's expression and bluffing.
After a while, Ye Qingyu finally recovered.
He secretly attempted to break the seal formations in the surroundings to take Song Xiaojun to a safe place first. He wasn’t afraid of the two great Martial Emperors, but leaving Song Xiaojun and the sealed ancient Phoenix in the battlefield wasn’t ideal. During the earth-shaking battle he was not confident that he could protect these two.
But unfortunately, Sovereign Skyreach and other people had indeed invested a lot of capital this time. As a result, the seals and formations in the surroundings were extremely solid and stable. Ye Qingyu had attempted to use a number of different fiendgod techniques besides the [Flash], including [Void Walk], but was still unsuccessful.
“It seems I must adapt according to the situation.”
Ye Qingyu seemed somewhat disappointed.
Song Xiaojun did not say a word and just quietly held Ye Qingyu's hand.
The faint warmth from the little, soft and fair hand put Ye Qingyu at ease.
And the giant flame bear had already turned to its original form——a dark-red toy bear, carried in Song Xiaojun’s hand. This toy bear was originally a gift from Ye Qingyu back when they were in Deer City. After this, although Song Xiaojun lost her memory and no longer remembered Ye Qingyu, but perhaps because of intuition, she had been carrying the bear with her everywhere, keeping it close to her. She even refined it with her bloodline divine ability. After a long period of time, the bear's colour also began to change, and possessed consciousness and spirit. Its existence was similar to a life weapon of Song Xiaojun.
After several attempts, Ye Qingyu gave up the idea of taking Song Xiaojun to leave this place first.
“It seems that only by getting rid of Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather first can we get out of here.”
He vaguely guessed that even [Flash] might not successfully break the seal around the starry sky battlefield, thus also gave up other attempts. After whispering something in Song Xiaojun's ear, he then continued to regulate his breathing, and about half an hour later, he had completely recovered.
He slowly emerged from the light protection barrier of the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
Ye Qingyu’s divine sense began to spread, immediately determining the position of Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather, the two great Martial Emperors.
“Fight.”
Ye Qingyu's body suddenly expanded, the [Formless Armor of Shifting Clouds] activated, turning into a silver armour that covered his whole body and with silver scales flowing with real Emperor qi. At this moment, Ye Qingyu no longer needed to disguise himself and had completely released the aura of this Emperor weapon. At the same time, in his dantian, the [Yuan Qi True-Self Doppelganger] that was originally sitting cross-legged in the center of the ocean also grew in size. It was now completely identical to the physical body. The original form of a Martial Emperor had emerged. His figure was similar to a giant spiritual fiendgod, eyes glowing like two blazing suns. As it opened its mouth to breathe, it was as though a starry river was being swallowed.
The [Blood Drinker Sword] also similarly increased in size, turning into a giant object of tens of thousands of kilometers long.
“Show yourself.”
As Ye Qingyu’s wrist shook, the sword will of the [Life Sword Mantra] differentiated into two, shooting towards different directions in the void.
Rumble!
The starry battlefield was vibrating.
Dao sounds boomed, laws surged, and even the eternally lonely starry river was bubbling. The countless fragments from the giant earth star left behind before Sovereign Dark Yellow’s death were also impacted by the power of the [Life Sword Mantra], becoming as hard as Immortal iron, and hurtled across the sky at an incredible speed towards where the two great Martial Emperors were hiding.
The sword qi was mighty and vast, like an ancient long river.
His mastery of swordsmanship had already reached a divine level.
“Die!” The original form of Sovereign Skyreach was also revealed.
He was not part of the Human Race, so his Martial Emperor original form was an enormous six-winged golden Hou (a legendary creature), which possesses the ability to fly to the heavens in one leap. Legend has it that it was the ancient beast that can fly the highest, and thus has the name Skyreach. The original form of the Sky-reaching clan was the Hou, and the original form of Sovereign Skyreach was even more terrifying, like a giant beast able to devour the starry river. In one mouthful, the fragments of the giant earth star were pulled into his mouth. In the depths of his giant mouth was a river of stars flowing, resembling a living universe in his body.
“It's almost time to send you down to the underworld.” Sovereign Dark Feather also spoke, revealing his Martial Emperor original form.
The Dark Feather clan was the descendant of the black-winged nine-headed Dapeng (a mythological giant bird), thus the original form of Sovereign Dark Feather was a black-winged nine-headed Dapeng, an equally terrifying giant beast of the ancient times. It was rumoured that the black-winged Dapeng feeds on Dragons and Phoenixes, and likes to eat Dragon liver and Phoenix marrow. Therefore, the moment that Sovereign Dark Feather revealed his original form, there was all of a sudden a ruthless and violent aura filling the lonely darkness of the starry battlefield.
“It turns out to be two beasts, today I will kill both the chicken and the dog.” Ye Qingyu sneered, swinging his sword up——
