Immortal God Emperor

Chapter 1114 – Trump Card? Whose Trump Card?

Chapter 1114 – Trump Card? Whose Trump Card?

The next moment, his vision cleared.

The [Cloud Top Cauldron] floated above his head once more.

Ye Chen was standing opposite him, still holding his demon saber and his astonished expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief as he stared at Ye Qingyu furiously.

"How did you… your cauldron… how did it manage to block…" Ye Chen looked at the [Cloud Top Cauldron] as though he had seen a ghost and said, "What kind of cauldron is that? How did you come to possess such an item? Ah, I see, this must be the reason why you managed to crawl up from rock bottom. This must have been your lucky break…"

He noticed something.

"The supreme treasures of the world will only acknowledge those with good morals as their master," Ye Qingyu said vaguely because he didn"t know what the origins of this cauldron were either. This cauldron always managed to surprise him with its magical abilities and now, it had even managed to block the blow of a saber that was stained with the blood of an Emperor. He was left a little astounded by its prowess as well.

Ye Chen smiled menacingly, "I guess you don"t know the origins of this cauldron either. He he, understandably, a country b.u.mpkin like you wouldn"t recognize a supreme treasure even if you possess one. Ha ha, after I"ve killed you, this will belong to me. Ha ha, the heavens have really been kind to me. Once this treasure is mine, the old folks over at the Dark Realm can"t harm me anymore and I no longer need to live in fear, ha ha ha…."

Ye Qingyu"s curiosity was piqued and he asked, "Who are these old folks?"

"Obviously…" Ye Chen started, but immediately stopped when he noticed that Ye Qingyu was fis.h.i.+ng for information and smirked, "Hey country b.u.mpkin, did you think you could trick me… Ha ha, this information will be useless to you anyway. Accept your death quietly and give me everything you have!"

Ye Qingyu scoffed and said, "Since your saber is useless against me, what other tricks have you got up your sleeve?"

Since the [Cloud Top Cauldron] managed to block the demon saber once, it could repeat the same feat many more times, so it would be impossible for Ye Chen to try to kill him with his demon saber.

Ye Chen laughed wildly at his words.

"This is why I called you a country b.u.mpkin. You don"t even know what is the true meaning of the word "resources". My demon saber alone managed to throw you into confusion and panic and you treated it like a deadly weapon but to me, it is nothing more than an ordinary weapon since I have way too many of such weapons, ha ha."

He recalled his demon saber as he spoke.

Then, his expression suddenly turned solemn and grave as he carefully took out a jade box.

This jade box looked very simple and it was only as big as his palm, neither did it give off any energy waves.

However, Ye Qingyu immediately realized that it must be a terrifying weapon from the way Ye Chen was handling this box.


"This box contains the almighty power of the [Lightning Emperor] when he was at his peak and it is also one of the supreme treasures he has left behind. Even if a divine king or a fiendG.o.d was reincarnated, they would not be able to block one blow from this weapon either. This cauldron may not be destroyed after one blow from it, but whether it will be able to protect you remains to be seen.." Ye Chen"s expression was sinister and also a little crazed.

He had been backed into a corner since he had a.s.sumed that the demon saber would have been sufficient to finish Ye Qingyu off.

However, he was now forced to summon his true trump card.

It had been extremely hard for him to obtain this jade box and he had taken great pains and risks in order to obtain one. The energy contained within the box could only be used once, but he had to go all out in order to wrest the cauldron from Ye Qingyu. The fact that this cauldron had managed to block the attack of the demon saber would be enough to stun the world and would probably even attract the attention of a Martial Emperor. Who would have thought that such a treasure existed in the Vast Thousand Domains?

Ye Chen wanted to get his hands on the cauldron even more at the thought of that.

"Ha ha ha, once I open the lightning jade box, no one will be able to survive. I"ll send the entire Alliance of Domains to the grave along with you, Ye Qingyu… ha ha ha, I"d like to thank you for presenting me with this cauldron," he said as he opened the box and aimed it at Ye Qingyu.

"You…" Ye Qingyu turned pale.

The elderly servant and the rest of the golden-armored soldiers all looked frightened and they couldn"t stop their bodies from trembling.

It was obvious from Ye Chen"s statement that he didn"t have full control over this jade box either, so once he opened it, it would unleash an earth-shattering and destructive power. The entire divine temple of the Alliance of Domains would probably be rendered into a pile of rubble and they were all going to perish.

Ye Qingyu had not expected Ye Chen to be such a heartless lunatic.

However, it was too late to stop him.

The moment the jade box opened, a destructive force that had the power to destroy the world spread outward, as though a sleeping divine spirit was slowly awakening and instantly, a phantom figure with matchless power appeared in the main hall and this figure looked like it was a majestic king surveying his earthly subjects. Despite his current cultivation, Ye Qingyu still felt his spirit quake instinctively at the sight of this phantom figure and felt that he was suddenly as insignificant as an ant.

Then, a bolt of dazzling lightning that seemed to be as powerful as the same light that created the world burst forth from this jade box and Ye Qingyu didn"t stand a chance against it.

He could not summon a shred of resistance in the face of such a powerful burst of light.

He didn"t even dare to utter a single complaint in the face of this light, as though he was a subject that had been ordered by a king to commit suicide. This was the absolute suppression in the aspect of the martial way and the force that a true Martial Emperor wielded. Furthermore, this was an attack at full force by the [Lightning Emperor] at his peak, so it was absolutely terrifying. This bolt of lightning immediately locked in on Ye Qingyu and he couldn"t do anything but shut his eyes and await death.

The remnant energy waves from this bolt of lightning instantly looked like it was about to destroy the entire divine temple.

Everyone in the divine temple felt the shadow of death creeping up on them.

They trembled and wailed, but could only ultimately accept their fates.

The [Cloud Top Cauldron] also trembled and vibrated. It made frenzied buzzing noises as it tried its best to protect Ye Qingyu, but this surging lightning force kept it at bay and it couldn"t approach him at all. The power of its bright yellow mist was also dispersed by the white bolt of lightning.

The [Cloud Top Cauldron] couldn"t protect him this time.

This was the first time that he witnessed the true power of a Martial Emperor and this was a power that he was completely unable to comprehend at his current stage of cultivation.

There was only a difference of one word between a Quasi-emperor and an Emperor but the true gap between those two stages was extremely vast.

Ye Qingyu had once a.s.sumed that the difference between a Quasi-emperor and an Emperor wasn"t that great since it was only a difference of one word between those two cultivation stages. However, this thoroughly overturned his a.s.sumption. The difference between a Quasi-emperor and an Emperor was even wider than the gap between a Quasi-emperor and an expert of Spirit Spring stage cultivation – it was unbelievably vast.

"Am I about to die?" he sighed to himself.

He didn"t want to die.

He still had many things that he had yet to settle, so he couldn"t die right now.

The white lightning light enveloped him.

Ye Chen"s sinister laugh in the distance was exceptionally grating.

Soon, this lightning power would cause Ye Qingyu"s body to explode and he would be turned into nothingness in less than a fraction of a second.

However, he was still alive after one breath pa.s.sed.

The white lightning was circulating within his body.

An odd sizzling noise could be heard.

His entire body was completely enveloped by the lightning light.

Yet, his body remained intact.

The sinister smile on Ye Chen"s face immediately froze as he realized that the situation had taken a completely different turn.

Why did Ye Qingyu not disappear even after he was absorbed by the lightning force? The [Cloud Top Cauldron] had failed to protect him earlier, so why was he still well and alive?

Ye Chen slowly lost control of the situation.

The lightning power that had spread throughout the entire hall and the surroundings suddenly all swarmed toward Ye Qingyu, as though he was a sponge that constantly absorbed water. Instantly, all of the lightning power entered his body and the divine temple, as well as everyone who was supposed to have perished, was completely unharmed.

"What"s happening?" Ye Chen yelled angrily.

He felt as though everything that had happened today was very mysterious and this drove him insane when he saw the same thing happening to the power of the [Lighting Emperor]. This was not normal… It was as though he had seen a ghost.

He realized that things were not going well.

Ye Qingyu also regained consciousness by this point.

He felt an abundant lightning power circulating in his body and he was surprised to find that this power did not completely destroy him but rather, after the initial excruciating pain, the lightning power turned into waves of warm currents. These currents were not destructive but instead, they were nouris.h.i.+ng him.

He could even feel that this lightning power was cheering in his body and hummed happily as though it was incredibly excited.

It was just as though this lightning power had met its relative.

What was happening?

"Could it be…" Ye Qingyu was both surprised and thrilled.

He knew that there must be an explanation for this phenomenon. Could it be because he had once refined the Chaotic Lightning Liquid of the [Lightning Emperor] and had also once tried to study several techniques of the [Lightning Emperor] together with Old Fish?

If that was the case…

Ye Qingyu looked up mockingly at Ye Chen.

"I guess your trump card has failed to deliver," he said as he stretched and approached Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was completely dumbfounded.

"No… no no no, impossible. You… you you you…" he was not even able to string a coherent sentence together since this was far too shocking. Why was this happening? He couldn"t believe it and refused to accept this fact. That had been an attack of the [Lightning Emperor] at full force but… this country b.u.mpkin had absorbed it.

Could he be… the reincarnation of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?

Ye Chen was going crazy.

He felt as though Ye Qingyu was born to be his nemesis.

This was no longer about the martial techniques or weapons he employed, but it was about the clash of their destinies.

"You… humph, even if the lightning power wasn"t able to kill you, what can you do to me?" Ye Chen summoned his demon saber once more and said harshly, "It would be impossible for you to kill me as well."

He was confident that his demon saber was powerful enough to resist Ye Qingyu"s trump card – the trump card that had killed both the dark Quasi-emperor as well as the Quasi-emperor of the Four Stars Sect.

However, Ye Qingyu only raised his hand and pointed his finger.

"Is that so? Let"s see, shall we?" He said and a bolt of lightning shot forth from his finger.

It was only a tiny bolt of lightning, but Ye Chen"s pupils suddenly constricted in fear and his face was as white as a sheet.

He recognized the lightning power as the one that belonged to the [Lightning Emperor]. How did Ye Qingyu manage to convert that [Lightning Emperor"s] power to his own in such a short period of time?

Bam!

The power of laws rippled through the air.

The Dao sounds hummed softly.

As the bolt of lightning clashed with the demon saber, Ye Chen lost his grip on this broken blade and it was knocked out of his hands.
