1212 - Suppression
Chapter 1212, Suppression
Ye Qingyu did not show any weakness as he swung his sword in a slashing attack again.
Sovereign Dark Feather had already lost two heads; strength greatly declined and he was seriously wounded. How can he be a threat to Ye Qingyu?
The battle began again.
Sovereign Skyreach also made another move.
But the two great Martial Emperors were both very careful this time. While exchanging moves, they paid close attention to any action of Ye Qingyu, and did not forget to leave room to fight back and dodge.
This also allowed Ye Qingyu to completely occupy the upper hand of this unbelievable Emperor battle.
But in truth, the fear of Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather was somewhat unnecessary.
Because the [Geng Metal Pill] that killed Sovereign Dark Yellow indeed required a long preparation time. It was impossible to activate it again after such a short period of time. The technique that unbelievably wounded the two great Martial Emperors were of course fiendgod battle skills of the [Fiendgod Titled Chart], called the [War of the Green Demon].
This cultivation technique was left by a demon called the Green Demon. What Ye Qingyu used was the killing move [Stone Statue of the Green Demon] of the four battle moves of the [War of the Green Demon]. Taking the shape of a fetus, his body glowed with the light of the Green Demon that protected his body. By turning into the Green Demon, one can draw on the opponent's killing force and strength, and strike back with strength multiple times stronger after transformation. Ye Qingyu had absorbed the power of the killing moves of Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather, and then counterattacked with strength several times stronger than it was. However, the requirements to use this technique were very demanding. One must be a certain distance from the opponent and the opponent must be fully unprepared. If Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather were not blinded by their killing intent and had not rashly entered the chaos storm, they would not have been struck by the power of the counterattack. At the same time, if the power exceeds the upper limit that the person who used this battle skill was able to bear, then before the transformation counterattack process appears, the person will most likely be chopped into ashes. Ye Qingyu's physical body was of the Emperor level, and could be said to be a rare existence since ancient times. Thus he was able to, in such a state, bear the killing moves of the great Martial Emperors.
If he were to use the killing move of the [Stone Statue of the Green Demon] once again, then Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather would definitely not be fooled again.
However, this was irrelevant.
Because presently, Ye Qingyu had already fully occupied the upper hand.
The [Stone Statue of the Green Demon] had already knocked away the spirit in the hearts of the two great Martial Emperors, making them become fearful and nervous. In this state, how can they pose a threat to Ye Qingyu? As Ye Qingyu had said, the two great Martial Emperors had been hiding from the outside world for far too long, and had not experienced battle in a long period of time. Their instincts and will to fight had already been weakened to a terrifying degree that they were also not aware. Even if they had undergone transformation, it was only their cultivation base and strength that had changed. They still lacked the fighting will and combat experience that can match up to their cultivation base and strength.
It was actually a very sad thing.
Ye Qingyu had already mastered all one hundred and eight fiendgod battle skills in the ancient bronze book [Fiendgod Titled Chart]. Any one of the battle skills was at his fingertips. For Ye Qingyu, if the beginning of this Emperor battle was described as incredibly dangerous, then that has changed now. It was now more like training. The two great Martial Emperors were two grindstones, polishing the sword in Ye Qingyu's hand until it was brighter and brighter.
Although infuriated, Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather found that there was nothing they could do. The pressure they felt from Ye Qingyu was getting greater and greater. In the end, they felt a chill running down their spine. The Emperor power exuded from the body of this young junior was increasingly powerful. All of the moves he used were Emperor techniques that they had never heard or seen before.
“Ah...” Sovereign Dark Feather let out a mournful and miserable roar.
Another of his heads had been chopped off by Ye Qingyu.
And on the other side, Sovereign Skyreach was also roaring repeatedly. Two of his six wings had already been snapped, but now the sword light slashed off another one. Although his injury was a little better than that of Sovereign Dark Feather, he still had reached the degree of critical injury. This time, his great transformation was only possible with the help of those valuable treasures, and did not damage his life yuan, but if the battle were to continue, his injury worsened, then his lifespan would also be impacted. He may even drop down a cultivation realm.
“Who are you?”
Sovereign Skyreach looked at Ye Qingyu with shock and anger.
At this time, he had completely overturned all of the information he had received about Ye Qingyu. He felt that he must have received false information. It was impossible for a human boy, who had come out of a greenhouse like the Vast Thousand Domains, to possess such strength and talent, let alone continuously display so many marvelous Emperor techniques. He was almost sure that Ye Qingyu was definitely not a descendant from the Vast Thousand Domains, but an old monster who has revived his soul——or perhaps the reincarnation of an ancient Emperor. Besides this, it was impossible for him to have so many hidden cards and to master so many Emperor techniques.
And thinking of this, Sovereign Skyreach felt even more afraid.
What Sovereign Skyreach was thinking was also what Sovereign Dark Feather was thinking.
“Your Excellency...is the reincarnation of which ancient Emperor?” Sovereign Dark Feather's face was contorted with fear, drawing back he stammered, “Perhaps there is a misunderstanding between us... we made a mistake in our previous judgment, and we...”
Ye Qingyu, however, would no longer waste time talking to them.
“[Eyes of the Void].”
He bellowed, a river of stars flowing in his eyes, clouds of stars being derived, spreading out in formation. It was unknown how many times more terrifying the same eye technique was after reaching the Emperor realm. Two violet divine swords directly shot out from his eyes, and the power of annihilation, one left and one right, sped toward the two great Martial Emperors.
“Fight.”
Seeing that there was no way to communicate any further, and that there was no room to turn back, Sovereign Skyreach let out a roar and said, “I will distract him, you go...” He made an eye signal towards the direction of the distant [Cloud Top Cauldron]. At the same time, he suddenly opened his mouth, like the mouth of an abyss being opened wide. In his body was similarly stars twinkling like a cosmic void. It was desolate and dark, like a side of the sky had been torn down. He inhaled all of a sudden in an attempt to swallow the light of Ye Qingyu's [Eyes of the Void].
Not only that, but he was ready to risk anything, and even wanted to swallow Ye Qingyu into his mouth.
Of course, it was just to hinder Ye Qingyu.
Because on the other side, Sovereign Dark Feather was beating his black wings rapidly, entering into a state of extreme speed, and had left the battle circle. He sped in the direction of the [Cloud Top Cauldron], and waved his life treasure black wings to strike the [Cloud Top Cauldron], creating huge resounding booms.
Suddenly, the ancient golden formation markings on the cauldron were flashing frantically. Golden flames completely shrouded Song Xiaojun and the ancient True Phoenix.
“Despicable.” Ye Qingyu’s heart was pounding with worry.
As they say, concern and worry will distract oneself. This time he truly experienced this.
Although he had great confidence in the [Cloud Top Cauldron], but because he was too worried about Song Xiaojun and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, in that moment, his mind was thrown into disorder. As a result, the power of his technique also plummeted. He felt a magnificent suction force pulling his body. It was the life devouring technique of Sovereign Skyreach, which after being swallowed, the power of his [Eyes of the Void] was trying to swallow him into the great mouth of the abyss.
Ye Qingyu activated the his [Void Walk] technique, and immediately opened up the distance.
He turned around, did not have the intention to continue to fight Sovereign Skyreach, and instead sped toward the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
Sovereign Skyreach also did not give chase when he saw this. Instead, he transformed into a stream of flowing light to escape.
In truth, he simply did not want to fight to the death with Ye Qingyu.
When he said he was going to risk everything it was only to deceive Sovereign Dark Feather. In truth, from the beginning, Sovereign Skyreach had already considered Sovereign Dark Feather as a sacrifice and planned to escape. He knew that Ye Qingyu extremely cared about Song Xiaojun and the other, and will go there right away. He only said what he said to distract Ye Qingyu as an excuse. Even Sovereign Dark Feather was deceived by the way he pretended to be indignant and countered Ye Qingyu's [Eyes of the Void].
“Fellow cultivator, you...”
Sovereign Dark Feather thoroughly understood at once.
He never thought that he would unexpectedly become abandoned. He was clever all his life but stupid this once, and had been deceived by Sovereign Skyreach.
He was only barely able to fight against Ye Qingyu when he joined forces with Sovereign Skyreach, but was still suppressed. Now that Sovereign Skyreach had escaped, leaving him alone, even if he were to burn his origin source, there was no way he could be a match for Ye Qingyu. Let alone the fact that Sovereign Dark Feather did not want to die.
He reacted and turned around to flee right away.
Swoosh!
The sword light of the [Sword of Judgment] had already locked onto him, swung down and once again severed a huge Dapeng head.
“Ah... I will get my revenge.”
Sovereign Dark Feather wildly roared, blood sprinkling across the sky. He decided to directly burn his blood to trigger the blood escape technique. He had already lost three heads in the battle today, which could be said to be a huge loss. Adding to this, he had already damaged his origin source, and if he did not recover in time, his cultivation realm really would drop after this battle.
Ye Qingyu did not give chase, but resumed his true size. With one hand on the agitated [Cloud Top Cauldron], he activated the secret technique of the one hundred eight ancient characters to soothe it. The copper cauldron slowly stopped shaking and spinning, its light flames gradually growing clearer. He could see that within the light screen below, Song Xiaojun's face was pale and the true fire of the ancient Phoenix was much darker than before. However, they were not seriously injured.
“Are you all right?” Ye Qingyu asked in a worried voice.
Song Xiaojun hurriedly shook her head and answered, “I'm all right, Brother Qingyu, you...”
Before her voice faded——
Boom!
A beam of blood light abruptly splashed out from Ye Qingyu’s body, a huge hole suddenly split open his chest, and the bright blood had directly dyed the [Cloud Top Cauldron] bright red.
A fist-sized ghost-faced grey-copper ball shot out from the wound, bombarded the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and sent Song Xiaojun and the True Phoenix flying out thousands of meters away, before it rapidly sped back, producing a ghostly whistling noise. The ghost face on the grey-copper ball seemed to be alive, incomparably fierce and sinister, and wanted to kill Ye Qingyu.
The whole process was too fast that, even given Ye Qingyu's cultivation base, he unexpectedly did not detect the arrival of the sneak attack, and had sustained critical injuries.
Adding to this, there was an even more terrifying killing intent in front.
At this moment, for the first time, Ye Qingyu truly felt the aura of death——
