Chapter 426: Rise of a Great Battle
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhuge Qingyun arrived the next day, but he didn’t dare to enter as well. He discussed with Grandma Silver Flower and decided to wait for Shui Youlan and the Demon Empress to arrive. At that time, all four of them would make a move together and see if they could rescue Jiang Yi.
On the third day, Shui Youlan had arrived. She didn’t even go check the island from the sky and said that it would be impossible to deal with the Devil Star Vine by herself.
Qian w.a.n.guan and the others kept having their hopes lit up and extinguished. The three of them placed their final hopes on the Demon Empress, but would she come?
That night, Shui Youlan and the two other martial experts opened their eyes at the same time and quickly got up from their seated positions. They walked out onto the deck and looked to the distance in the eastern direction. Qian w.a.n.guan and the others frantically rushed out and looked at the eastern skies anxiously with eyes of burning hope.
The night sky wasn’t cooperative, and there was a little drizzle. As the drizzle came down and drenched everyone’s hair and clothes. The sky got very dark while Qian w.a.n.guan and the others couldn’t see more than 3 kilometers away. There was nothing in the eastern sky, but there was an aura presence that caused the heart to palpitate. It felt as though there was an ancient and ferocious beast approaching.
Swis.h.!.+
There was a light sound of air breaking while a black figure shot its way towards them. The appalling aura presence was getting more prominent. Apart from the three Vajra Realm martial experts, everyone else felt that they were suffocating.
It was getting closer and closer.
Everyone could clearly see who came. Many of the men’s eyes lit up as this was an instinctive reaction whenever a man saw an absolute beauty—just as when everyone saw Shui Youlan. However, this gaudy woman was even more alluring. This individual’s charm came from within the bones.
“Greetings to Demon Empress!”
Zhuge Qingyun, Grandma Silver Flower, and Shui Youlan bowed with respect. Grandma Silver Flower might have been suppressed by the Demon Empress back at the outskirts of Summer Rain City, but because of Jiang Yi, she didn’t have any more hostility towards the Demon Empress. Of course… with the Demon Empress’ astounding combat strength, she didn’t dare to have any hostility. The Demon Empress was one realm stronger than the people here; hence, they ought to show some respect.
“Greetings to Demon Empress!”
Yun Fei, Zhan Wushuang, and Qian w.a.n.guan all knew their manners and were kneeling on one knee. Not only because of the relations.h.i.+p between Jiang Yi and the Demon Empress, but also because the Demon Empress could a.s.similate the human form and had the capability to suppress all the experts in the continent. They instinctively felt that it was worthy to kneel with respect.
“You may all rise!”
The Demon Empress might have a charm that was from her bones, but it was her Five-Tailed Spirit Fox body which had heaven’s essence that made a seductive appearance. It was spreading out the foxy fragrance. The Demon Empress had this graceful and poised aura, which was complemented with her powerful aura field. Everyone didn’t dare to have any intentions to profane her and had this urge to prostrate themselves.
She was wearing a black long dress today. Women rarely wore black clothing. If they couldn’t bring out the flavor, it might make their skin look tanned. However, this black dress on the Demon Empress was very captivating and charming.
The rain got heavier and heavier. The strange thing was when the rain landed on the Demon Empress, it would automatically vanish. There would be no trace of moisture around her body. It was the same for Shui Youlan, Grandma Silver Flower, and Zhuge Qingyun, which surprised Qian w.a.n.guan and the others.
The Demon Empress waved her hand indifferently to excuse the formalities and looked over at the distant giant island. Her body then shot over like a laser. Shui Youlan and the others quickly rose to the air and followed behind the Demon Empress closely. They were all silently getting ready for a great battle.
Everyone, who stood on the deck, held their breaths and disregarded the pouring rain drenching their bodies. Qian w.a.n.guan, Zhan Wushuang, and Yun Fei’s hearts were at their throats. If the Demon Empress couldn’t do anything, then it would be utterly hopeless for Jiang Yi.
Tsk-Tsk!
Everyone was shocked when the Demon Empress flew over the island and simply swung her hand. Immediately after, a white ray shot downward at the nest.
“Aggressive!”
Qian w.a.n.guan raised his thumb. This Demon Empress didn’t even do any scouting and immediately started the battle. The no.1 combatant of the Stellarsky Continent was indeed dominating!
Boom! Boom!
Before the ray could hit the Black Wasps’ hive, the island suddenly trembled as a giant wave erupted from the surrounding seawater while the Black Wasps ‘Ji-Ji’ nonstop. Qian w.a.n.guan and the others saw a black long whip burst out from the island after the Demon Empress threw out the rays of light. The black whip turned into an unstoppable force that swept at the Demon Empress.
The surrounding s.p.a.ce of the long whips radiated ripples in all direction. The horrifying aura presence of the whip caused Shui Youlan’s expression to change.
“Devil Star Vine!”
Qian w.a.n.guan and many others gasped in astonishment and felt their soul spirit shudder for an instant. That black whip looked like a soul-hooking whip that shot out from the netherworld. It felt overwhelmingly powerful and unstoppable. For an instant, the entire world vanished in their eyes; and there was only that giant vine which swept across. Everyone’s heart clutched tightly, and they all wondered whether the Demon Empress was able to fight against such a formidable Devil Star Vein or not. They just hoped that they wouldn’t have to sacrifice themselves, too.
“Hmph!”
The Demon Empress let out a ‘hmph’ and extended her jade hands. She pointed in the air, which caused the entire s.p.a.ce to light up. The world in front of Qian w.a.n.guan and the others’ eyes changed again. They saw a white finger slowly pointed towards the giant vine. The finger was small, but the imposing power didn’t lose out to the giant vine which was countless folds bigger than it.
“He!”
Grandma Silver Flower crooned and swung her scepter, which shot out a shadow that swelled as it drew across the air. It instantly turned into a giant scepter which grew tens of meters long, smas.h.i.+ng down at the Devil Star Vine.
“Come on! Take a fist from this old man!”
Zhuge Qingyun slammed on the wheelchair with one hand and shot out. His right fist was s.h.i.+ning with a blinding light before sending out an outrageous fist.
A golden fist shadow was shot out from his fist. This fist shadow didn’t look like an essence force attack. It felt like Zhuge Qingyun’s own fist which was ten folds bigger. It was abnormally violent, and it emitted a sound like it could penetrate the heart and shatter anything. Even a giant mountain might be smashed into dust by this fist.
Zhuge Qingyun didn’t let out the Six Claw Golden Dragon. He knew clearly that the golden dragon demon king wouldn’t be of any help. He reckoned that it might even be a burden. If a peak-grade demon king was seized effortlessly, then the golden dragon’s combat power was far too inferior.
“Zha!”
Shui Youlan made her move as well. Her long dress fluttered as she made a hand seal. The sea waves below began to roll violently before she pointed in front with one hand. The seawater suddenly lifted a giant wave which was 30 kilometers in height. That giant wave that quickly formed a water dragon—which was a hundred meters long—before it rapidly rushed at the Devil Star Vine with heaven-extinguis.h.i.+ng presence.
Four experts combined their attacks on the Devil Star Vine!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Right at this moment, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the sky, which was like the shape of a spider web, shattering the sky into pieces and illuminating the entire island. The scene of the sky above the island was deeply engraved in the minds of Qian w.a.n.guan, Zhan Wushuang, Yun Fei, and everyone from the three clans. It was probably never going to be erased in this lifetime.
Tsk-Tsk!
The next scene would never be forgotten for eternity. When the Devil Star Vine and the Demon Empress’ finger clashed, it gave rise to a thunderous explosion which ripped the nearby s.p.a.ce, causing a ripple to radiate in the sky. The Devil Star Vine shook a little before continuing to sweep forward. The Demon Empress turned into an afterimage and dodged it before the vine crashed into the three other attacks from Shui Youlan and the others. The result was so shocking that it stupefied everyone.
