Chapter Following the departure of the Divine Light Emperor, Old Fish, and Little Nine the silly dog, a soft buzzing noise rang out. Like the withdrawal of a water curtain, the huge s.p.a.ce-time gate disappeared before everyone"s eyes.
A road of legends had come to an end before it even started.
The person who had changed the destiny of the entire Vast Thousand Star Domains was now gone.
The facial expressions of Wen Wan, Gao Diping, and the others were agitated and unrestrainable, as if a part of their lives had been taken away.
Ye Qingyu, too, was feeling low inside.
The silly dog Little Nine had been following beside him ever since he was still a young student at White Deer Academy, and could be said to be closer than kin to him, having stuck with him through troubled times... Now, it had left, crossing countless galaxies, star domains, and s.p.a.ce-times to advance to an unknown s.p.a.ce-time, with no idea of when it would be seen again.
To one side, Song Xiaojun gently held on to Ye Qingyu"s hand to console him.
Just then...
Boom!
A terrifying torrent of power erupted.
Countless dust specks and star fragments on the battlefield were swept up by this torrent as it spread out like a wave.
The three King of Sovereigns had broken the seal.
"How dare you betray us..." The Abandoned FiendG.o.d howled angrily, but, upon looking around, realized that Jiang Xiaohan was missing, and was unable to sense her aura either.
The King of Destruction, too, roared with rage.
The fact that they had been sealed was utterly humiliating to them.
Who would have thought that they would be sealed by a native woman whom they had seen as a p.a.w.n?
In the distance, the Wisp G.o.d of Consciousness discharged fierce waves of light. Evidently, its emotions were also extremely intense. To it, Jiang Xiaohan"s actions were a form of betrayal. Having favored her most highly at first and yet was unexpectedly forsaken by her, one could easily imagine the anger in its heart.
The anger of these three supreme experts was ultimately directed at Ye Qingyu.
Rumble!
Acting in unison, the King of Sovereigns and the Abandoned FiendG.o.d charged toward Ye Qingyu.
The Wisp G.o.d of Consciousness began to play guzheng music once more, with a frosty killing intent that heralded the coming of war contained within. This time, its killing heart had been fully worked up. It wanted to arouse Ye Qingyu"s inner demons and slay him for good.
"Time to end this."
Checking his emotions, Ye Qingyu"s expression fiercened.
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] hung down thousands of silk ribbons to protect Wen Wan and the others within.
Taking a step forth, Ye Qingyu performed a backhand stroke in the void.
"Sword, come!"
In the void of the battlefield, winds blew and clouds surged as stardust gathered. It seemed as if all of the universe"s essence and spiritual qi turned into a silver s.h.i.+ning longsword that fell into Ye Qingyu"s hand.
In his body, the strange feeling of breaking out of a sh.e.l.l became ever more distinct, as if a newborn power was burgeoning.
A sword strike was unleashed.
The newborn power poured forth like a waterfall.
Boom!
In the void, two strange-colored clouds of b.l.o.o.d.y mist burst out.
Amid immense shock and disbelief, the bodies of the King of Destruction and the Abandoned FiendG.o.d were torn into several pieces each.
During the instant of exchanging blows, they had felt a terrifying power surging within Ye Qingyu"s body. This kind of power was unprecedented, surpa.s.sing the King of Sovereigns realm and thus frightening them. Even their life souls, which were nearly immortal and indestructible, began to tremble, for this was a kind of power that could threaten them.
As power of laws circulated and their bodies regained composure, they looked at Ye Qingyu with horrified expressions.
The latter took steps up to them.
The terrifying guzheng music of the Wisp G.o.d of Consciousness swept by like a world-deluging tide. Having worked its technique up to the maximum level, transparent waves could be visibly seen boiling in the cosmic void. Evidently, the anger of this King of Sovereigns had reached its limits.
The guzheng clanged.
The inner demons in Ye Qingyu"s body were stirred up.
A black misty halo circulated and shrouded Ye Qingyu completely.
This time, however, the black mist did not bother him at all. Since the Divine Light Emperor had already severed the spiritual connection with him completely and had also left for his hometown as desired, the so-called obsession was already no more. The surging black fog was actually the residue that Ye Qingyu had suppressed within his body earlier. Although it seemed dreadful, this was only because Ye Qingyu had driven it out of his body.
Clang clang!
Ye Qingyu formed a sword with his finger.
The sword trembled slightly and made a clanging noise which sounded like the roars of dragons and tigers.
This noise instantly drowned out the guzheng music.
Ye Qingyu"s body seemed as though it was bathing in fire. Silver flames flickered before burning up and dispelling the black fog all over him.
The circulation of the guzheng music had no effect on him.
He brandished a sword and struck out.
A sword light instantly cleaved the Wisp G.o.d of Consciousness into two.
"Ugh..." An angry squeal was heard from the wisp.
It rapidly retreated to distance itself away.
This scene caused the Abandoned FiendG.o.d and the King of Destruction to feel grave danger. What"s going on? What just happened? Why is even the inner demon power of the Wisp G.o.d of Consciousness no longer effective against this person?
While Ye Qingyu was holding a sword in his hand, waves that resembled streaks of silver light circulated from all directions and converged toward the sword and his body.
The entire cosmic sky seemed to be responding to him by cheering.
Ye Qingyu felt his yuan qi sea instantly begin to surge within his body. The green islands, which could not be considered big at first, began to grow frenziedly at this time, forming large continental plates. With its leaves wobbling, the enormous World Tree abruptly began to heighten, while the island it took root on turned into the biggest continental plate in the dantian world.
Indescribable vigor and vitality erupted within the dantian world.
It was akin to the Big Bang.
A new world was born in Ye Qingyu"s dantian.
The branches and leaves of the World Tree reached toward the sky, almost as if they wanted to break out of the dantian world.
The wobbling of the branches and leaves offered Ye Qingyu unlimited vitality.
In the cosmic void behind him, a sky-reaching ancient tree appeared illusorily, forming his life totem. The branches and leaves extended in all directions until the large sky of this star domain seemed to be completely covered by this ancient tree. Every leaf was a star that gave off starlight.
"This is..."
"Eternal qi."
The Abandoned FiendG.o.d and King of Destruction both felt a shudder from their souls.
They could not believe that Ye Qingyu, who had been on the verge of being worn down by his inner demons, had undergone some changes to his body and made such an incredible breakthrough. The aura of the ancient tree seemed like that of the primeval cosmos, causing them to feel as tiny as ants. Conversely, Ye Qingyu"s qi became ever deeper and far-reaching, giving them a dispiriting feeling that they could only revere him and could not stand shoulder to shoulder with or fight against him.
They realized that Ye Qingyu was about to enter the Eternity Realm.
This was simply impossible.
However, it was now becoming reality.
"Run!"
This word instantly popped up in their minds.
They had lost the courage to fight on.
Although the final outcome of fleeing was likely to be that Ye Qingyu would yet pursue and kill them, there would nevertheless be some chance that they would survive or even turn the situation around. On the other hand, the only outcome would be death if they remained here.
However, Ye Qingyu seemed to have long antic.i.p.ated this scene.
The ancient tree totem behind him wobbled while its leaves fluttered, resembling large stars that suspended and circulated in the midst of the cosmic battlefield and thus formed a most bizarre array of stars that circulated the heavens. It entrapped the two King of Sovereigns as if trapping two flying ants. Fleeing frantically, the Abandoned FiendG.o.d and the King of Destruction unleashed all kinds of skills, mysterious techniques, and escape abilities, but were unable to get free.
Thump thump thump!
Becoming one once again, the Wisp G.o.d of Consciousness reused its melody technique. The sounds of ancient war drums rang out in the cosmic battlefield, as if thousands of troops and horses were embarking on an expedition, creating great excitement and shaking everyone"s heart.
With a sword in hand and sword will splendor circulating all over his body, Ye Qingyu was utterly invulnerable.
At present, he could gain all abilities just by mastering one ability. He could break all abilities with one strike of his sword, yet was also invulnerable to all abilities. Although the melody technique could work up the energy of the cosmos, it was completely not a threat to him. Without moving, the ancient tree totem behind him emitted the noise of leaves swaying in the wind and directly inhibited the melody technique of the Wisp G.o.d of Consciousness.
However, the King of Destruction and the Abandoned FiendG.o.d could not insulate themselves from these kind of sounds.
Having been wounded by Ye Qingyu"s single sword strike, they were unable to control themselves under the bewitchment of these warring sounds. Their expressions gradually turned chaotic while the murderous insanity in their bodies ran wild. Resembling savage trapped beasts, they entered a state of complete madness and forgot about fleeing, instead turning back to attack Ye Qingyu.
As could be seen in their eyes, they had lost rationality and were left with nothing but madness.
Controlled by the Wisp G.o.d of Consciousness, they became its tool.
This was a most lamentable downfall.
At the King of Sovereigns realm, cooperation was like a kind of compromise, with both parties requesting that the other party act against their own interests, as if asking a tiger for its skin. Once the advantage was lost, eternal d.a.m.nation would result.
Ye Qingyu frowned slightly.
If the fights-to-the-death of the two Kings of Sovereigns became berserk, they would still pose a slight threat.
With sword light flickering, he issued another strike of his sword.
A sword strike that could break all abilities.
Given his current strength and cultivation, the Kings of Sovereigns would be unable to withstand his sword strikes no matter how berserk they became. Amid rumbling noises, b.l.o.o.d.y mist and bones sc.r.a.ps flew in all directions, as if two large stars had exploded. The bodies of the King of Destruction and the Abandoned FiendG.o.d burst once again.
Kings of Sovereigns possessed near-immortal bodies because they each had their own life star domains.
They would not die as long as their star domains were not destroyed.
However, this was also a matter of relativity.
Just like how Ye Qingyu could kill and seize the fates of the Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster, the Dark Purple Sovereign, and other King of Sovereigns realm beings upon entering the King of Sovereigns realm, the present Ye Qingyu could seize the power of fate, break the life agreement, and slay Kings of Sovereigns having taken one step into the Eternity Realm.
The more he fought, the more enlightened he became inside.
As strange changes manifested within his body ceaselessly, he could feel even greater power. The mysteries of the cosmos seemed to become clear in his heart.
Another sword lunge was made.
Amid crisscrossing rays of light, his sword will became much like a tide.
Eventually, the Abandoned FiendG.o.d and the King of Destruction turned into flying ashes and dissipated among their own unresigned wails, howls, and curses.
The power of fate in their bodies was also directly absorbed and sealed up by Ye Qingyu using the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
Only the Wisp G.o.d of Consciousness was left in the end.
Its situation was kind of special.
