Chapter 523 Threads of Vexation
“Greetings, your Majesty Phoenix Empress!”
Everyone came before the woman and knelt down in unison, their eyes flashing with extremely lofty respect.
It was all because the other party was the ruler of the Phoenix clan!
The Supreme Eternal!
One of the top three martial arts prodigies in the starry skies, Dragon Emperor, Phoenix Empress, and the Qilin King!
The woman glanced at the people in front of her with her phoenix eyes.
“How long have I been gone?”
“Your Majesty, your clone has been gone for 29 years.”
“29 years? Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it has passed so fast. My memory seems to still be the scene yesterday when the love tribulation incarnation and the evil spirit incarnation left.”
“Your Majesty, now that your evil spirit incarnation has returned, have you finished cultivating the Demonic Heart Tribulation?”
“The Demonic Heart Tribulation has failed.”
Hearing that, everyone was shocked.
“What! Failed? Your Majesty, could it be that the Blood Venerable One in the ancient times wasn’t evil enough? He couldn’t even help you cultivate the Demonic Heart Tribulation?”
“There are some changes, but… It doesn’t matter. The Demonic Heart Tribulation can be solved together with the Love Tribulation. How is the Azure Billow divine territory?”
“Your Majesty, the Azure Billow star field has met with a big problem. After dealing with the star beasts, they discovered the ruins of the primordial Divine Kingdom.
“Fortunately, the primordial Divine Kingdom ruins had already been solved, and the descendants of the Nine Provinces Xuan Yuan were moving to the Xuan Yuan divine territory.
“However, when they were dealing with the primordial Divine Kingdom ruins, they met with a small problem. They had a conflict with the four great god clans, the Heaven-opening god clan, Tiancang god clan, Earth Spirit god clan, and Golden god clan.
“Recently, under the leadership of the Heaven-opening god clan, the four great god clans seemed to be restless and wanted to make a move against the Xuan Yuan god clan.
“Do you think… We should intervene?
“After all, some of the god clans of the Xuanhuang Great World weren’t too well-behaved. The Dragon Emperor and the Qilin King had already said that they wouldn’t allow the god clans of the Yanhuang Great World to have a large-scale riot in order to avoid giving the Xuanhuang Great World an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
“If they cause too much trouble, not only will it affect your Love Tribulation, it may also cause the Dragon Emperor and the Qilin King to be unhappy. “At that time, more or less, there will be some trouble.”
The Phoenix Empress looked at the starry sky in the distance and immediately said indifferently,
“There’s no need. Everything has its own fate.”
“As you wish!”
In the distance, in the Glittering Gem Star Valley, Ye Xiao, who was absorbing the blood sea, suddenly raised his brows slightly.
Earlier, he seemed to feel that someone was looking at him.
Was it that female Supreme Eternal who was sealed outside?
However, Ye Xiao was currently inside and could not sense the situation outside. He could only wait until he absorbed all the blood essence there and returned to his original body before he went to look for that woman to ask what exactly was going on.
After an entire day and night had passed, Ye Xiao had absorbed all the blood essence into his body.
Absorbing it into his body was not refining it. If it was refining, that little bit of time was absolutely impossible to accomplish.
Absorbing it into his body was just like the power of laws. It was temporarily stored with Ye Xiao’s Godly Emperor-level divine body before he refined it. There was no delay.
When Ye Xiao finished absorbing all the blood essence there, the entire space was already dark and empty.
He took a deep breath and slowly raised his left and right hands.
His left hand used the power of the True Lightning masterpiece technique, while his right hand used the power of the Great Brahma masterpiece technique.
Behind Ye Xiao, two illusory figures that were hundreds of thousands of feet tall formed.
One of them wore an emperor’s robe and held a long sword in his hand. He sat on top of the dragon’s head. Purple aura flashed behind him, giving him an extremely imposing appearance.
The other figure wore a golden kasaya[1] and held a Buddhist bead in his right hand. His left hand stood upright and he sat cross-legged. It was as if he was a Buddha!
The two powers complemented Ye Xiao and it was as if a saint had descended. They were sacred and inviolable.
He used both powers to their limits. In the next second, the entire array started to crumble.
Following that, Ye Xiao raised his right hand and said loudly,
“In Ye Xiao’s name, unseal all the seals in the Glittering Gem Star Valley!”
After giving the order, the seal in the small space outside also began to crumble at the same time.
The various Godly Emperors who were cultivating in the small space outside had puzzled expressions when they saw that scene.
However, a moment later, when they saw that the seal in the entire space had been lifted and the sun in the sky was truly pouring down, everyone started to get excited.
“The seal has been lifted! It’s actually the seal that has been lifted!”
“But… How was the seal lifted?”
There were also people who tried to raise questions, but they were quickly refuted by others.
“Why do we care so much? As long as the seal is lifted, it’s a great thing for us!”
“That’s right! The seal has been lifted. That’s enough! As for how it was lifted, what does it matter to us?”
As they spoke, some Godly Emperors could not help but start to shed tears of excitement.
How many years had it been? Other than Ye Xiao, the one who came in the latest, Ouyang Quluo of the Netherworld clan, had also stayed in that place for 300 years.
There was no need to say much about the others. Who knew how many there were.
For such a long time, their greatest dream was to open this seal.
For that purpose, they had been cultivating rapidly until they felt like vomiting, and they still had to continue cultivating.
Every day, they saw their powerful cultivation in the Godly Emperor realm, but it was useless. They were like a bunch of pigs being raised in captivity.
So what if they cultivated faster than they were outside?
It was as if you could earn a lot of money every day, much more than if you worked hard outside, but inside, you could not even spend a single cent.
What was the difference between that money and a piece of paper?
Their only hope was to continue holding on until the day the seal could be broken by themselves.
After everything, they had finally waited for this day.
The Godly Emperors could not wait to fly out. Terrifying auras seeped out one after another. Soon, they spread and suppressed the entire Glittering Gem Star Valley. That extremely terrifying aura frightened countless martial artists who came in search of treasures. Even the Godly King could not help but feel a wave of fear and began to tremble.
“What’s going on? Why are there so many martial arts masters suddenly appearing?”
“This aura is actually all at the Godly Emperor realm. Oh my God! What on earth happened?”
Amidst everyone’s shock, Ye Xiao was also jolted awake by Ouyang Quluo.
“Ye Xiao! Ye Xiao! Quick! Quickly wake up.”
Ye Xiao retracted his clone and slowly opened his eyes.
“What happened?”
“The array has been broken!”
“Oh? Why has it been broken all of a sudden? Didn’t you say that no one can open this array?”
“I don’t know what on earth happened either. It opened by itself all of a sudden.”
Ye Xiao nodded.
“However, this is still a good thing.”
“That’s right! It’s been 300 years! I thought that I would never have the chance to go out in this lifetime. In the end, I didn’t expect that I would go out as soon as you came!
“You’re really my lucky star!”
“You’re exaggerating. Perhaps it’s time for it to open by itself.”
“Who knows? It’s a good thing that it opened anyway.
“Let’s go! I want to go out and wander around for a while. I want to see if there are any changes in the starry sky after 300 years.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Quluo instantly turned into a stream of light and chased after him.
Ye Xiao shook his head and smiled, then followed after him.
“Senior Ouyang, when I came here, I actually separated from the fleet of the Xuan Yuan clan and the Netherworld clan.
“We agreed that after I leave this place, the first thing I’ll do is to look for them.
“I can’t stay here for too long. Do you want to leave with me, or do you want to stay here alone?”
Ouyang Quluo originally wanted to stay there, but after looking at the Godly Emperors’ auras above the Glittering Gem Star Valley, he still chose to leave with Ye Xiao.
There were too many Godly Emperors there. If something went wrong and a fight broke out, he would be dragged into it as well. Would not that be the end of him?
He did not dare to find such trouble.
He had just come out, so he had to keep a low profile.
“I still want to leave with you. There are too many freaks here.”
Ye Xiao nodded.
The two of them then turned into two streams of light and headed straight for the Xuan Yuan divine territory and the Netherworld divine territory.
At the same time, less than two star areas away from the Xuan Yuan divine territory were engaged in an unprecedented battle!
The spiritual airships of the Xuan Yuan and the Netherworld clan were attacked by the Du Long god clan, the Bright Sword god clan, and the Kun Wo god clan, which were under the command of the four great god clans. They were besieged by several god clans.
Comm
In order to ensure that they could resist them, the only two Godly Emperors of the god clans also joined the battle.
The four great god clans mobilized four more Godly Emperors to besiege and suppress the Godly Emperors of the two great god clans.
With six Godly Emperors and the fierce battle between several god clans, the fleets of the two great god clans ushered in a disaster that could be said to be on the level of destruction.
The huge difference in numbers caused the three great Godly Emperors to be suppressed.
With the many god clans joining forces, more than 50 Godly Kings took part in the battle. They also suppressed the Godly Kings of the Xuan Yuan clan, Yun Xuanyuan, and the others, leaving them unable to take care of themselves.
They were already unable to take care of themselves, so how could they still protect those existences with even lower cultivation?
Faced with such a situation, the members of the Xuan Yuan clan rose up to resist.
However, the population base of the Xuan Yuan clan was really too large. The proportion of martial arts masters was still too small.
Ye Xiao’s Godly Emperor’s blessing did not directly turn them into top-tier martial arts masters. It only increased their talent because they and Ye Xiao were only of the same race’s bloodline and not relatives.
If they were given a certain amount of time, a large portion of them would definitely grow into super martial arts masters.
Unfortunately, the problem was that they did not have many martial arts masters at the moment!
Due to that, the Nine Provinces’ Xuan Yuan clan was suppressed to an extremely miserable state. Spiritual airships were detonated one after another. Countless commoners died under the constant attacks of martial arts masters.
Miserable cries rose and fell, and sorrow filled the land.
The martial arts masters of the Nine Provinces Xuan Yuan clan fought desperately. Even so, they could not change the sorrowful song that had been destroyed.
“Still haven’t contacted Ye Xiao?”
Yun Cangqiong fought against the two Godly Emperors while anxiously communicating with Xia Xinyi with his spiritual sense.
