1213 - Sky Emperor
Chapter 1213, Sky Emperor
In a hurry, Ye Qingyu opened his mouth and spat out the [Geng Metal Pill] again, but the strength contained was much less than before. As it struck the ghost-faced grey-copper ball, it erupted out a violent chaotic annihilation power that knocked the grey-copper ball away. But Ye Qingyu in this moment was also impacted by the annihilation force. The flesh on his head seemed to be burning, and was become beyond recognizable...
“Brother Qingyu...” Song Xiaojun screamed.
Dark flames visible to the naked eye gushed out of her eyes, nose, mouth and ears, as she frantically pounded the light barrier of the [Cloud Top Cauldron], trying to rush out, but was still separated by the light barrier.
On the other side, there were sparks leaping in the eyes of the True Phoenix, but she also failed to struggle out from the force of the seal.
“Don't worry,” Ye Qingyu's voice sounded.
He opened his mouth to swallow the [Geng Metal Pill]. The skin, flesh and blood slowly grew back on his face again. This kind of injury, for him, was not fatal, but what really affected him was the hole in his chest. At the edge of the hole were granulation tissues forming, but the flesh and blood that contained the corrosive force of the ghost-faced grey-copper ball was preventing them from growing.
“Don't come out.”
The way Ye Qingyu looked at Song Xiaojun's eyes was full of gentleness.
“Don't worry, wait there, watch me destroy all the enemies.”
With that, he turned around.
Black lightning-like eyes looked to the eastern direction. The gentleness in his eyes had already turned to an unprecedented solemn expression, “Which Emperor attacked me from behind?”
The one who attacked him was definitely someone of the Martial Emperor realm, but also much stronger than Sovereign Skyreach, Sovereign Dark Feather and others. This was Ye Qingyu's analysis at this moment, because from the beginning, there was a hint of doubt that Sovereign Skyreach and the others arranged such a formation. There was bound to be someone behind them. But throughout the battle, he had been paying attention to the movements around, and did not notice the signs and aura of any others. Thus when he was worried about the safety of Song Xiaojun and had confirmed that she was unharmed, he lowered his guard for a moment and was attacked instantly.
The one who launched a sneak attack at him must be a scheming and extremely terrifying existence.
This person alone was a greater threat than the three great Martial Emperors, Sovereign Skyreach, Sovereign Dark Feather and Sovereign Dark Yellow.
Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather who were originally frantically escaping also came to a stop, staring at the ghost faced grey-copper ball that was suspended in the depths of the void. The eyes of the two high and mighty existences were flashing an intense fearful colour. This panic was obviously not because of Ye Qingyu, but the grey-copper ball.
It was a kind of expression that an incompetent subordinate would have in the face of punishment from the Lord.
After a brief moment of silence, an ordinary voice came from the ghost faced grey-copper ball: “In the simplest way, remove the most threatening obstacles, is the true truth of the world. As for the so called supreme body, glory and reputation.....haha, those are nothing but nothingness. The people of the world are plagued by false reputation. It is only by throwing away this that one can be free and unrestrained.”
The voice was at first plain and ordinary, but the more one hears it, the more one could feel a cold aura that makes one shudder with feat. It was as though, for the speaker, apart from himself, there was nothing in the world that had the slightest meaning. He was the only one.
“Show yourself.” Ye Qingyu said.
His chest injury was slowly recovering, but the strange force around his wound was difficult to dispel. Just by looking at it with the naked eye one would find a layer of faint grey mist, like wisps of silk, twisting around Ye Qingyu's wound. This was an icy-cold deathly aura that corroded his flesh upon contact.
At this moment, Ye Qingyu's heart was burning with rage.
“Haha, show up? That depends on whether it's necessary...” That indifferent voice sounded again from the ghost-faced grey-copper ball. When the voice sounded, the ghost face on the copper ball was also constantly changing and alternating between the four expressions of happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. In addition, there was a terrifying charm overflowing out from the different expressions, which could affect even an Emperor's mind. The voice continued, “To know who I really am, it depends on whether you are qualified or not... Kill him!”
The last two words were directed at Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather.
From these two words there was an indisputable majesty and demonic power. The moment it rang, the indefinite surprise and hesitation in the eyes of Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather instantly vanished, turning into unprecedented ruthlessness and determination, as they frantically charged toward Ye Qingyu.
Like a dog being pushed.
“Fine, then open your eyes and take a good look if I have that qualification.”
Ye Qingyu bellowed with a look of anger. Once again his [Yuan Qi True-Self Doppelganger] integrated with his physical body, rapidly growing in size and once again revealed his Martial Emperor original form. The [Blood Drinker Sword] had reappeared, blood glistening among the silver colour. The injury to his chest was still a horrifying sight, but Ye Qingyu seemed to not care.
Ye Qingyu directly activated the [Limitless Divine Way].
[Third Limit]...
[Fourth Limit]...
[Sixth Limit]...
[Seventh Limit]!
By the time the [Seventh Limit] was reached, it was already extremely high, and the surface of Ye Qingyu's Martial Emperor original form was beginning to crack, indicating that the strength was too strong for it to bear. Among the ancient bronze book [Fiendgod Titled Chart] and the one hundred and eight fiendgod battle skills, the [Limitless Divine Way] could absolutely be rank in the top three. This was most likely the only one Emperor technique that can increase one's strength instantly.
“I'll first send your two dogs on the road!”
Ye Qingyu swung his sword, and the sword will of the [Life Sword Mantra] filled the air. Although the sword light was much smaller than before, it had intensified by countless times. In the void there were small silver lights with specks of red flashing past.
In extreme speed, figures moved past each other.
Ye Qingyu turned back, as if he already knew what the end would be. When he reappeared, the sword light was directly pointing to Sovereign Skyreach.
Sovereign Skyreach felt a tremendous threat descending, wanted to say something, but then he saw that Sovereign Dark Feather's figure had stiffened and the Martial Emperor original form with six heads was directly split into two...
“What?” Sovereign Skyreach felt his soul had scattered from his body.
Sovereign Dark Feather is dead?
He's dead?
How did he die?
Just now, that sword, without him being aware in the slightest, had severed Sovereign Dark Feather into two. How did he do this? Wasn't that Ye Qingyu wounded? Wasn’t he severely wounded by the [Ghost-faced Soul] that His Majesty Sky Emperor's sent down? how can he still make such a sword strike... How is that possible? Was he holding back his strength during the battle before?
In this moment, his courage and will to fight had subsided like the tide.
However, he was afraid to flee.
Because the ghost face on the grey copper ball was constantly changing. And at this moment was taking on an angry expression before it stopped. It was like a malicious spirit from the Asura battleground as it stared intently at the back of Sovereign Skyreach.
“Hohohoho...” A sorrowful roar like the cry of a beast before death emitted from the throat of Sovereign Skyreach.
This enormous six-winged golden Hou was already a supreme expert who stood above countless creatures in the world. He was a top Martial Emperor, but now it was as if he had really turned into a savage beast. After a slight hesitation, with great fear and reluctance, he suddenly launched a second charge.
“Your Majesty Sky Emperor, please take care of my people.”
He seemed to be saying his last words. A desolate feeling permeated the starry sky.
Ye Qingyu mercilessly swung his sword again.
The strength of Ye Qingyu, who was under the state of the [Seventh Limit] of the [Limitless Divine Way], had already reached a very terrifying degree. Previously, he managed to kill Sovereign Dark Feather in one strike because he had already lost three heads and his strength had plunged as a result. But in the face of Sovereign Skyreach, Ye Qingyu felt less pressure compared to when he killed Sovereign Dark Feather, perhaps because Sovereign Skyreach was already thrown into disorder.
When the heart is disorderly, the mind is not thinking correctly.
When the mind is not thinking correctly, the will and spirit are also lost.
When one’s mind is in disorder, no matter who it is, even if possesses earth-shaking cultivation base, their strength cannot be displayed to its full.
“Well, in today's battle, two of the three are already gone. Go to the underworld to accompany Sovereign Dark Yellow and Sovereign Dark Feather...”
Ye Qingyu brought his sword up, an indifferent expression across his face. The Emperor technique [Sword of Judgment] descended once again.
A silver divine sword was seen landing from the high altitude of the void, locking on Sovereign Skyreach. In the blink of an eye, the giant light sword had submerged the six-winged golden Hao. The rumbling of Dao sounds and the surging power of law once again triggered the power of chaos annihilation, which directly swallowed up Sovereign Skyreach’s Martial Emperor original form.
At the same time, that ghost-faced grey-copper ball that was originally suspended in the void flashed all of a sudden, disappearing where it was.
Ye Qingyu’s lips curled in a sneer, suddenly turned around, a ball of light flashing in his left palm as a white pill cauldron emerged. He grabbed one of the three legs of the cauldron and abruptly hurled it behind him.
Boom!
Sparks sputtered
A deafening bang sounded.
Amid the loud noise, the shadow of the ghost-faced grey-copper ball appeared, but like a ball, was struck by the pill cauldron to an unknown distance.
“Such scheming tricks won't work on me for the second time... You overestimate your ability to capture other people's minds.”
Ye Qinguyu sneered, staring at the direction that the ghost-faced grey-copper ball disappeared.
The white pill cauldron in his hand was buzzing endlessly, and the mottled traces of inscription flickering strangely. It was the cauldron that he found in the [Tusita Palace] of the Reincarnation Hall of the Chaos Demon Emperor. It was also the cauldron that stored and refined the [Geng Metal Pill]. The cauldron was huge, but after activation, given that Ye Qingyu had transformed into his Martial Emperor original form, he looked like an ordinary person lifting up a cauldron.
He had long predicted that the ghost-faced grey-copper ball would attack him from behind again.
When there is a first time, there will be a second time.
The man who Sovereign Skyreach calls Sky Emperor must not value the dignity of a Martial Emperor.
“Now, you can show up, your dogs are all dead,” Ye Qingyu said loud and clear——
