Chapter 781 - Do you know who he is?
Translator: Aran
The next moment.
There was a blinding blaze of light in the demonic sea in the vault of the sky.
Stifling Saint-level power loomed over the area.
The guardian Saint expert of Sinful Pit retaliated!
Within seconds, the distant Void was instantly broken like shattered ice. Debris of a large stretch of Void scattered in all directions. An endless Void storm swept everything away, like it was the end of the world. The Void was instantly turned to nothingness.
This was the power of a Saint level expert.
The spectating experts were in utter shock.
Who was it that dared to secretly attack the Young Lord of Sinful Pit? One must know that the Sinful Pit was known to be vengeful to the extent that even if others accidentally looked at them more than once they would hunt them down to the ends of the earth, let alone someone who had so openly attacked the Young Lord of Sinful Pit.
And the person who attacked was also very powerful. They were at least of the Saint level, and even tied against the Sixth Master.
After a full ten seconds.
The two tremendously powerful presences came to a halt.
The battle had ended.
In the sky above, there was not the slightest trace of flowing light. All of the aura was gradually fading.
All of the surrounding experts took on a look of puzzlement?
It's over?
Who won?
Where did the people of Sinful Pit go?
The spectators on Fierce Beast Peak were puzzling over the scene. It also made many people realize that the matters today were not that simple. Although the Sinful Pit and many other forces obtained the opportunity of entering the dark dDoor of Life through exchange, but evidently there were still many Saint experts hiding in the dark to kill those coming out of the Door of Life to snatch at this opportunity.
The atmosphere on Fierce Beast Peak suddenly grew tense again.
After a little while.
Seeing that there was no longer any other reaction in the distant sky, the sight of the crowd returned to the Door of Life.
And below the Fierce Beast Peak, the disciples of Clear Sky Sectand Sky Awakening Sect were gathered together, taking on a sad and mournful expression, like they had lost their parents. They had been waiting for three days, hoping that the leader of their sect could bring back the great opportunity, but instead what they received was grievous news.
Among the experts, there was a murmur of discussion.
“Even the Young Lord of Sinful Pit had come out, I don't see the Patriarch of Clear Sky Sect and Sky Awakening Sect. They most likely have already perished.”
“Sigh, such a pity for those two little sects. They were finally able to cultivate two Immortal Step experts after hundreds of years. I heard that their leaders were going to take this chance to get the opportunity to bring glory to the sect, but in the end...”
“Those two sects have lost their central pillars. In less than one month, they will most likely be relegated to becoming an affiliation of other forces.”
The disciples of Clear Sky Sect and Sky Awakening Sect had the speculation that their leaders had died. But they were still gathered together, unwilling to leave. After all, as long as the dark Door of Life had not closed, there was still a chance for them. What if their leader miraculously survived and returned at the last minute?
After all, the Young Lord of the Sinful Pit also did not say that their leaders have died.
These pitiful disciples wanted to hold on until the last minute, before they were willing to believe in the truth.
In a twinkling, another ten seconds passed.
One of the dark doors flashed again.
All of a sudden everyone's heart jumped to their throat.
Whoosh!
There was the sound of air being pierced.
Two figures darted out of it in an instant.
The young expert in front was burly, tall and handsome, clad in a golden armour and radiated the aura of the scorching sun flames. He was like the War God of the sun. He was the Third Prince of the glorious Kaiyang Imperial Court.
And closely behind him was the descendant of the Black Moon Palace Yang Wanqu.
At this time the surging evil qi around Yang Wanqu had completely disappeared, and he looked no different than to when he entered the 18th district except for the fact his aura and cultivation had slightly improved and was more radiant. In the eyes of outsiders, he obviously had quite a harvest and his strength had improved.
Seeing that the Third Prince had safely returned, the guardian Saint of the Kaiyang Imperial Court immediately was overjoyed. The worry that had been hanging in his heart was gone right away, as he dashed forward to greet him.
“Imperial Uncle! It’s been hard on you!” The Third Prince greeted the guardian Saint expert with a smile and was humble and courteous.
This guardian Saint was the third brother of the Emperor, possessed profound strength and was extremely well respected. According to seniority, the Third Prince had to call him Third Imperial Uncle.
“I'm glad you're out, I can finally breathe easily.” The Third Imperial Uncle beamed. The safe return of the Third Prince was an absolute great joy for the Kaiyang Imperial Court.
“I pay respect to Third Imperial Prince,” Yang Wanqu also bowed.
The Third Imperial Uncle nodded, swept a glance at him then suddenly remembered something and asked, “Lu Li of Tianguan Sect...”
“Heaven is jealous of heroic geniuses. Brother Lu was harmed by others, I was not able to save him... sigh...” Yang Wanqu gnashed his teeth with a grievous expression on his face.
“Huh? What happened?” The Third Imperial Uncle frowned slightly.
“Imperial Uncle, when Xiao Yu comes out, everything will be known.” The Third Prince said lightly. He was not a good liar and naturally did not want to say such things.
Because the Third Prince had to wait for the Saintess of Jade Pearl, he did not immediately leave Fierce Beast Peak like the Young Lord of Sinful Pit. Instead, he stayed in the location occupied by the Kaiyang Imperial Court and patiently waited.
In the surroundings.
The many experts, seeing that the Third Prince radiated with brillianceand floated in the Void like the sun with a powerful and abnormal aura, knew that he did not encounter anything unfortunate in the 18th district and were suddenly all incomparably envious. The sounds of discussion grew louder.
“Everybody, look carefully, the aura of the Kaiyang Imperial Court's Third Prince is much stronger than before. It seems he has had a great harvest!”
“It seems that he obtained a great opportunity inside!”
“The Third Prince of the Kaiyang Imperial Court was born a genius. It is said that when the imperial concubine gave birth to him, there were celestial maidens sprinkling flowers in the sky, the shadows of the gods fluttering in the sky, and other strange phenomenon. He could speak at birth, is exceptionally intelligent and his speed of cultivation is astonishing. He is a rare martial arts genius of the Kaiyang Imperial Court and had won the favour of the Emperor. If it were not for the fact that he was not born from the Queen, he would have become the Crown Prince of the Kaiyang Imperial Court.”
“I don't know what sort of opportunity he got in the 18th district, but with it, nobody will be able to stop the rise of this genius.”
“That's not for certain. First of all, he has to be able to leave Fierce Beast Peak alive...”
While everyone was discussing spiritedly, new changes emerged in the Void.
Another dark door flashed again.
A silver flame surged out of the center of the vortex.
“It's the Saintess of Jade Pearl!”
“This woman is really remarkable!”
“No... Look, there's bloodstains on her dress!”
The eyes of everyone were fixed on the figure that was descending slowly in the Void.
Her long white dress seemed to be glowing like the moon as it fluttered, her black hair flowing like a waterfall, and the white gauze cloth on her face slowly moved. She was pure and noble, like a celestial maiden coming out of a thousand-year-old ice lotus.
But the maiden's originally spotless dress was unexpectedly sprinkled with a few plum blossom sized bloodstains. It was evident that she had experienced a very severe battle. The bright red bloodstains were very striking on the long white dress.
It was unknown whether the blood left on her was hers or her enemies.
Upon the sight, the two Saint experts of the Jade Pearl Sect who were enveloped in a fog of dark green light immediately came over to assist the Saintess, covering her up.
Brilliance wrapped around the three figures. The aura of the Saintess was unexpectedly magnificent and bizarre, faintly overpowering the force of the Saint experts next to her.
After exchanging a few words, the three returned to their position on the Fierce Beast Peak, and like the Kaiyang Imperial Court's Third Prince, they did not choose to leave at once.
After the female genius expert had come out, there was more and more spirited discussion in the distance.
“The Kaiyang Imperial Court's Third Prince and the Saintess of Jade Pearl are really worthy of their reputation!”
“Yes, and from the looks of it they did obtain an opportunity inside. Their strength has improved, especially the Saintess of Jade Pearl. Now her strength vaguely can compete against the Saint experts.”
“So many people have gone in, but only four of them are out now, I wonder what had happened inside.”
“The Saintess of Jade Pearl is stained with blood, the danger inside must not be small.
As they discussed, time passed by.
Next.
After another thirty or forty seconds, the dark Door of Life began to close.
The countless gazes fixed on the dark Doors of Life began to turn solemn, shocked, with pity and even a look of regret.
Because after the Saintess of Jade Pearl, no one else had come out of the dark Doors of Life.
In the Void.
Under the watchful gaze of countless eyes, the six dark Doors of Life were like a vortex of time and space, beginning to twist and spin sharply, lightning and flames flashed endlessly, and the power of Heaven and earth surged and tumbled.
Soon after, the several dark Doors of Life were again restored to seven huge black demonic vortexes.
Under countless looks of disbelief, the Doors of Life were completely closed.
The guardian Saint of the Phoenix Race, the elders of the Black Demon Race, as well as the guardians of the Sky Meteor Sect were all in extreme shock.
And the disciples of the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect, Sky Listening Pavilion and Sky Understanding Palace were all completely stunned, revealing a look of disbelief.
The guardian Saint of the Sky Meteor Sect was in utter shock, unable to accept what he had seen. As the most outstanding descendant of Sky Meteor Sect, the strength, luck and intelligence of the sacred son of the Sky Meteor Sect was the best. Moreover, he was given several remarkable divine weapons, but now the sacred son of Sky Meteor Sect did not come out?
He turned to the direction of the Saintess of Jade Pearl, urgency in his tone as he asked, “What happened in there? Why is it that only you few had come out?”
Similarly in utter shock and disbelief, the guardian Saint of the Phoenix Race, as though he had just woken up from a dream, questioned, “Yes, what happened in there? Where is Her Highness of the Phoenix Race? Why isn’t she out?”
He was very clear that the strength of Her Highness was comparable to that of the Saintess of Jade Pearl, and adding to this she had the remarkable power of the Phoenix to protect her body. Why would she not be out if the Saintess of Jade Pearl had managed to come out?
The Saint guardian of the Sky Meteor Sect impatiently approached the Saintess of Jade Pearland the Third Prince of Kaiyang Imperial Court and asked in an aggressive and cold tone of voice, “Speak, why are you guys the only ones who have come out, what had happened to the sacred son of our sect?”
The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly tense.
Anyone could see that the guardian Saint of the Sky Meteor Sect was going crazy.
“Dead.”
The icy cold Saintess suddenly spoke.
This remark, like a handful of ice water sprinkled into a pot of hot oil, shook the whole Fierce Beast Peak.
“Dead? You mean... the sacred son of Sky Meteor Sect is dead.”
“Could it be... all the other people who didn't come out are dead?”
“Is it not said that there's no danger during the opening of the Door of Life?”
The sound of discussion rose and fell.
Everybody was stunned.
At the top of the mountain summit.
Enveloped in dense violet mist, the guardian Saint of the Phoenix Race instantly grew fierce upon hearing this. He pressed further, “How can anyone die? What happened? What exactly happened in there!”
His voice died away.
The Saintess of Jade Pearl’s eyes turned cold, like two icy flames were gushing out from her eyes.
She stared at the Phoenix Race guardian Saint expert, and with a hint of reprimand in her tone questioned back, “You still have the nerve to ask? Do you know who the young man you chose is? Do you know who he is?”
The Saintess of Jade Pearl's expression suddenly turned to one of indignance and grief.
The Phoenix Race guardian expert was speechless for a second.
When the temporary escort was selected, the Phoenix Race chose the young man only because of Her Highness’s insistence, and that the guardian expert saw that the young man's mind was steady and powerful. He did not think much of other things.
But now, from the attitude of the Saintess of Jade Pearl, there seemed to be a deeper meaning.
Could it be...
He quickly shook his head and said, “I don't know... who is he?”
A glint of hatred flickered in the Saintess's eyes, her attitude icy cold, and under the veil her eyes were like a cold lightning as she looked at the Phoenix Race guardian expert, “That person is the culprit of the massacre of the Black Armour Race------Ye Qingyu!”
Although her voice was not loud, but the power was like an Immortal bell, containing a strange sound of the Great Dao, which instantly reached the ears of the thousands of experts around the Fierce Beast Peak.
Her words shocked everyone.
All of the experts of the major forces successively took on a look of disbelief, and discussions broke out.
“Who is Ye Qingyu?”
“You don't know? He is the latest criminal to be on the Domain Alliance's wanted list on charges of massacring the Black Armour Race of the 17th district.”
“What domain did he come from, and what is his grudge against the Black Armour Racelan?”
“What enmity I do not know, but I heard that he is from a new domain, I think called... Heaven Wasteland Domain.
“Yes, it is Heaven Wasteland Domain! They were supposed to participate in the domain assessment of the Black Demon Abyss, but somehow they left when they arrived in the 3rd district.”
“I thought they knew their strength was not enough and gave up the domain rating. I didn't expect them to be so ambitious, and one of them came alone to fight for the opportunity of the Door of Life.”
“I heard from the Gold Demon Race that Ye Qingyu is aggressive and bloodthirsty. Wherever he went, he had killed many experts of different races, and has the nickname of [Killing God of Ice Sword]...”
Under the discussion, the background and deeds of Ye Qingyu gradually surfaced.
At the top of Fierce Beast Peak.
Exuding a silver grey light, the Saintess of Jade Pearl was like a moon fairy descending onto earth.
She coldly swept her glance over the numerous experts, then looked again at the nothingness in front of her. She was solemn, cold, and imposing, and as though she was sentencing all living things, she said, “Everything was fine when we entered the 18th district, but then there was a succession of attacks. The sacred son of Sky Meteor Sect, the Princesses of the Black Demon and Phoenix Race, as well as all of our guards and other experts were schemed by that man. He seemed to know some secrets about the 18th district, took advantage of the situation and constantly plotted to kill us. As a last resort, I used my sect's [Great Jade Pearl Heavenly Understanding Technique] to calculate, and then when I was attacked again I used the [Heavenly Amplifying Emperor Mirror] to shine onto his real body. It was only then that I found out his true identity... Besides the few of us who came out, everyone else had died as a result.”
“What?”
“How is that possible?”
“Heavens, that lower domain citizen is so ruthless?”
“So, those who have not come out are all dead?”
Suddenly, there was a boiling cauldron of voices on the Fierce Beast Peak.
This really was a shocking and terrible event. So many geniuses and Saints were buried in the 18th district because of a lower domain citizen. If this matter were to spread out, the major forces would certainly fly into a rage and retaliate. At that time the entire Heaven Wasteland Domain may also be buried.
The Phoenix Race's guardian Saint stood frozen where he was.
“That’s impossible.” He bellowed, staring at Saintess of Jade Pearl, then retorted, “This is just your side of the story, Yin Kaishan, you speak, what happened in there?”
Instantly, all eyes landed on the Third Prince of the Kaiyang Imperial Court.
The Third Prince of the Kaiyang Imperial Court kept silent.
Standing beside him, Yang Wanqu took a step forward with an upset and indignant look across his face as he said, “This matter, let me speak, what the Saintess of Jade Pearl said is correct, I can testify..."
……
……
Ye Qingyu and the others were dumbstruck.
They were about to charge through the dark Door of Life, but in the last second, all the doors had vanished from the Void. The [Cloud Top Cauldron] released a Xuan yellow glow, charging to where the door was located, but as before they were still situated in the world of the 18th district...
“This... we're dead, we missed the deadline...” The bald fatty Sheng Yan was about to cry.
The disappearance of the Doors of Life was tantamount to sentencing everyone to death. The next time the Doors of Life appear will most likely be at least thousands of years later. At this moment there was killing intent surging around Heaven and earth, and they were like little shrimps under the ocean that could be crushed to death at any time.
“I'm sorry, I dragged you down,” the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race spoke. At the moment the dark Doors of Life were gone, the cold maiden, who had rarely spoken, as if it had suddenly broken the layers of ice on her, suddenly apologized with a much gentler expression.
Ye Qingyu looked at the haughty little princess with surprise.
“What should we do now?” The Celestial Phoenix Maiden cast a glance at Ye Qingyu.
Ye Qingyu, looking at the world engulfed by murderous intent, then suddenly smiled, “As long as we are alive, there is still a chance, do not give up... Haha, look again, look at the scene around the world. The killing intent is boiling, how spectacular. Some people would never see such a scene in their life. If we are doomed to die here, then we might as well sit down and enjoy the scenery...”
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden's eyes flashed a glimmer of light.
The Little Princess of the Black Demon Races stared at Ye Qingyu in a daze, her little mouth drew back, revealing her cute little canine teeth. She was also affected by Ye Qingyu's indifferent attitude.
“Brother, what time is it, and you're still...” The bald fatty Sheng Yan was so scared that his legs were cramping up.
But before he finished his sentence, all of a sudden [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], who had been lying on his back motionless like smoke, opened his mouth, muttering weakly, “Go down.”
“Ah?” Sheng Yan was startled, then asked again, “Old ancestor, what did you say?”
Ye Qingyu reacted with an overjoyed look on his face, shouting, “Quick, everyone follow me...” With that, he activated the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and dove down towards the ancient city, because the meaning of [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei’s] words was obviously telling everybody to return to the ancient city first.
Boom boom boom!
The copper cauldron vibrated, bumping and crashing into many huge black skeletons and finally rushed to the ancient city before the killing intent had completely annihilated the Void.
At the same time——
“This is...”
“What's going on?”
“What is this power?”
Ye Qingyu and the others, as they landed on the ground of the ancient city, were stunned, gazing above with incomparable shock across their faces. They were astonished to find that every building in the ancient city was beginning to emit a faint bronze glow, like they had all been awakened by some power. This brilliance gathered together, forming a shield of light around one thousand meters away from the ground, which shrouded the whole ancient city.
And that boiling killing intent that almost destroyed the world could not invade the bronze light screen, and was completely blocked outside of the ancient city.
What was even more bizarre was that those incredibly manic huge black skeletons seemed to have lost their consciousness and energy under the bronze glow. They all stood dumbly in place, completely ignoring Ye Qingyu and the others. Their empty eyes that were pitch black and blazing with dark flames were all looking up at the Void, like they were waiting for something!
Strange.
Frightening.
But such a change made Ye Qingyu and the others see some hope of surviving.
“Thank you, elder.” The first thing that Ye Qingyu did was express his gratitude to [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].
At this time, the hope of living was ignited in his heart.
After all, the [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] had once entered the 18th district when the Door of Darkness opened, and had been living to the present. His understanding of this place should be deeper than anyone else. If [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] spoke, perhaps he could give them guidance on what to do?
The eyes of Celestial Phoenix Maiden lit up.
The Little Princess of the Black Demon Race did not know about the background of the Quasi-emperor. Looking at the old man who was as thin as a dried up orange, her expression was a little strange, but she could clearly feel that the old man had a terrifying and indescribable power within him.
In response to Ye Qingyu's thanks, the Quasi-emperor simply blinked his eyes, as if this action had already consumed all his strength, and then a vague word followed——
“Wait!”
