Chapter 780 - Acting in Justice

Translator: Aran

While ruminating, Ye Qingyu did not slow down in the least bit.

This was an all-out desperate sprint.

Thirty minutes later.

"Eh? What's that? Are tombstones rising into the sky?" Carrying the [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], the fat man suddenly exclaimed involuntarily, "Look, tombstones are flying up high... into the heavens."

Ye Qingyu was startled at once when he looked over.

Fifty to sixty kilometers in front of them, seven giant black tombstones of several kilometers in height had uprooted and, driven by an unknown power, were now suspending in an extremely strange fashion in the gloomy and cracked sky of the ancient fiendgod city. Arranged in weird positions, they emanated a deathly and evil aura which caused one to quiver, and were shrouded in pitch-black mist. They were even scarier than the murderous spirit!

"My gosh... how can it be like this... Brother, what should we do?" Sheng Yan had detected the peculiarity of the suspending tombstones which blocked the party's advance and occupied a vast space to form a frightening force field. As a result of the emanating aura, his face turned ghastly pale and its flab felt muddled.

A grim expression was also revealed by the eyes behind the Celestial Phoenix Maiden's mask.

Evidently, this situation had far surpassed her level of comprehension prior to entering the 18th district.

"The positions of these tombstones... seem to form a particular formation... their arrangement is very weird." Although Ye Qingyu's expression was one of extreme vigilance, he then revealed a hint of doubt upon closer inspection of the seven black tombstones. They were arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper and appeared to be a formation which utilized the power of the murderous spirit. Moreover, the formation did not look very old and possessed the characteristics of a modern sect, and thus might have been set up only recently.

"There's someone inside..." The Celestial Phoenix Maiden's sight was fixed and her voice carried some caution.

Ye Qingyu was taken aback.

At this time, there are still others who haven't left the 18th district?!

He shot out two beams of purple lightning from his eyes and peered at the middle of the tombstones.

"It's her!" He was terribly surprised.

He recognized the identity of the person within the formation.

A young girl of twelve or thirteen years of age, dressed in a silver battle garment, was sealed among the tombstones in the Big Dipper formation.

It's the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race!

The female Heaven's prideling of the Black Demon Race was trapped stiff and her face revealed agony which suggested that she was laboriously operating qi to withstand something. Some sort of strange treasure was activated in her body, causing a near-Saint-level pressure to emit from within to form a huge black light shield that not only protected her but also had extra power to channel waves of Black Demon qi against the surroundings, in resistance against the asphyxiating power of the seven giant tombstones.

The surfaces of the seven suspended tombstones were each covered in a strange squarish formation that emitted a black halo and circulated an intense and piercing murderous spirit that resembled black flames. These murderous spirits cut through the Black Demon qi and spurted uniformly at the shield of the little princess. They brought to mind a scorching furnace that wanted to smelt the Little Princess together with the black shield.

The power of the Little Princess had clearly been exerted to its fullest.

However, the murderous spirit in the formations not only confined her securely but also absorbed the Black Demon qi at an insane rate and turned it into even more powerful black flames which was used to burn her body.

The situation was not good.

Even if this formation of seven giant tombstones could not harm her for quite some time, it nevertheless trapped her in place. Eventually, when the Doors of Life closed, all of the murderous spirit would erupt. By that time, even if she could get out of the formation, she could go nowhere but to death.

Ye Qingyu felt puzzled.

Among all those who entered the Doors of Life this time, the dignified Little Princess of the Black Demon Race should be the person who best understands the 18th district, for many of its secrets and methods would definitely have been made known to her by her race, since the district was built by the Black Demon Emperor after all. How did she fall into such a predicament given that she possessed such a natural and unique advantage?

He peered at the princess with a bit of caution and doubt.

The methods of the Four Stars holy girl already put him on guard against these female Heaven's pridelings, and he was thus worried that the scene in front of his eyes was planned by the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race - whose behavior on the Fierce Beast Peak of Taowu Mountain Range just three days ago already showed that she was not the trustable sort.

As Ye Qingyu fixed his sights on her, she also spotted the party.

He acutely noticed an indistinct gleam flash across her eyes at the very first moment she saw people appear.

Subsequently, however, her eyes sank as hesitation flashed across them. Instead of crying for help, she continued to operate her demonic power to withstand the shackles and burning black flames around her, without taking a further look at the party.

Ye Qingyu carefully sized her up, noticing that her ice-cold round face still had a little baby fat while her expression carried a hint of puerility mixed with some panic and impatience as she gritted her teeth hard... However, she more so possessed a deepness and majesty beyond her age, and an obstinate determination could be discerned in her eyes which were as bright as black jade beads.

Because she was exerting her power continuously, blood-red patterns swelled all over her body and took over the positions where her blood vessels were. It looked as though wild snakes had slithered across her arms and neck.

Black Demon qi of the utmost purity burst out of her body endlessly.

However, her facial expression gradually turned weak.

This doesn't look like a trap, no?

Is she really stuck in there?

Ye Qingyu's heart skipped a beat.

Save her?

Or should I not?

As the party flew through the Void, they drew closer and closer to the formation of seven giant suspending tombstones.

Just then...

Boom!

A strange phenomenon arose.

A majestic, ancient demonic power surged from all directions like monstrous waves.

Finally, some of the tombstones in the ancient fiendgod city below were flipped open, and from beneath them crawled out several incomparably-massive black skeletons which were hundreds of meters in height. Like ghosts from hell, these skeletons cried excitedly as they easily set themselves free. Then, as if perceiving something, they wildly drew close to the Little Princess’s position like a rabble that rose layer by layer into the Void and formed a mountain of skeletons which would soon engulf her.

A sliver of panic finally flashed across the eyes of the Little Princess who was confined within the formation.

When she looked once more at Ye Qingyu group, she revealed a distress signal on her face but remained silent.

The next instant, she looked straight ahead and continue to clench her teeth as she unleashed even greater power from her Black Demon qi.

In a flash, all of her expressions were noted by the rapidly-flying Ye Qingyu. For some unknown reason, the stubborn refusal to admit defeat which she showed served like a beam of lightning to unlock his memory, making him recall a young girl who shared the same personality as her...

Song Xiaojun.

Subsequently, Ye Qingyu made a decision.

He silently chanted some ancient words.

The [Cloud Top Cauldron] erupted into splendor.

The dark-yellow halo discharged a brilliance too bright to be looked straight at, while the golden veins on the copper surface meandered.

"Move according to my direction!" he shouted.

As if understanding his idea, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden stood beside him and burst forth an even more dazzling rainbow-colored brilliance. And, although the bald and fat man behind them remained looking all timid, the green mist that surged throughout his body became thicker than before.

Under the protection of the light curtain from the [Cloud Top Cauldron], the quartet turned into dark-yellow flowing light before making a turn in the air. They instantly picked up speed and charged, whistling toward the seven giant tombstones which suspended in the air.

Boom!

The [Cloud Top Cauldron] protected them as it rammed heavily into one of the tombstones.

A huge blare shook the ground, causing heavenly lightning to reverberate for a prolonged time.

All of the power in the Void was instantly stunned into nothing.

One of the tombstones in the Big Dipper formation was smashed into pieces by the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and dropped on to the stacked layers of black skeletons below.

"Come over!"

Ye Qingyu controlled the [Cloud Top Cauldron] at the same time as he shouted, and swiftly reached beside the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race.

Biting her teeth and without saying a word, the Little Princess dashed into the dark-yellow light curtain in n instant.

The boundless brilliance of the [Cloud Top Cauldron] protected her as it picked up speed and flew forth. A strange pallor emerged on her face, on which her cheeks could already be seen the winding blood-colored vessels. Although there was a peculiar look in her eyes for a moment, she said nothing and simply charged forward in accordance with Ye Qingyu's speed while gradually correcting her breathing and recovering her strength.

Ahead.

Another strange scene appeared.

Countless tombstones in the ancient fiendgod city had been flipped open.

Incomparably-massive black skeletons roared shrillingly like evil demons which had cast off their inhibitions. After crawling out from the graves, they wildly besieged the beams of flowing light zipping across the Void. In a twinkling, mountains of skeletons formed in the Void ahead, stretching dozens of kilometers like monstrous waves and blocking the path of the quartet.

"You shall die... Ram into them!"

Roaring angrily, Ye Qingyu activated his power to the maximum. He silently chanted the one hundred and eight-character incantation non-stop, causing the splendor of the [Cloud Top Cauldron] to work up into a burning yellow fireball and ram head-on into the mountain of giant black skeletons and bones. With a boom, many of the skeletons were shattered. Bone shards danced in the air as the party rammed open a gap in the mountain and swept through.

Boom boom boom!

Countless blockades were crashed through along the way.

Ten minutes later.

The party finally flew across the ancient fiendgod city.

They were now only several dozen kilometers away from the Doors of Life.

They could already see that the small portals were gradually shrinking, indicating that there was not much time before the inevitable collapse and obliviation.

"Quick, brother. Pick up speed," Sheng Yan roared ecstatically.

Just then.

"What's going on?!" Ye Qingyu's expression dramatically changed all of a sudden.
