Chapter 1070: The Servant of Ancient Emperor Yi
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
In the ancient mountain, the people within there proceeded deeper and deeper. The number of experts gathered at the God Hand Mountain Manor increased as well, all of them waiting for news within the ancient mountain. However, there seemed to be a separate dimension within the ancient mountain. No sound could escape from within there at all. Also, there would occasionally be people exiting, but it was those stellar martial cultivators who couldn’t even sense anything that returned with disappointment.
Many people were staring at Emperor Yu. Emperor Yu was still leisurely enjoying the immortal banquet in an extremely relaxed manner. Most probably, only he knew of the secrets of the ancient mountain.
“How deep does the space within the ancient mountain stretch out for exactly?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor asked Emperor Yu. His tone was filled with coldness. He was waiting, waiting for the mysterious masked young man to show himself. Once the masked man exited, he would kill him personally to avenge Dongsheng Ting. However, each second of waiting felt like an eternity. He wanted nothing more then to kill his way into the ancient mountain.
“You can’t enter, I can’t enter as well. How would I know?” Emperor Yu replied.
“Deliberately acting mysterious. You have been here and guarded this for so many years, how can you not know a little of the ancient mountain’s secrets? Do you know the real method to enter but you are deliberately hiding it from us?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor snarled.
“Eastern Sage!” Emperor Yu inclined his head as his hair fluttered in the wind. He then coldly spoke, “I’ve warned you all earlier that if any of your descendants enter the ancient mountain, the risk of dying would be there. But even so, you still insisted on sending your son in. This is a choice made by you alone. Now that he is dead, you’d better not try to vent your anger on me. I won’t stand for it.”
“Emperor Yu, stop your nonsense. I’m in fact suspecting the fact that you can control the ancient mountain. What secrets does it have exactly?” The eyes of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor flickered maliciously as he spoke. A terrifying aura gushed forth from him as a heavy pressure bore down on everyone present. The consequences were certainly dire once an immortal emperor was angered.
Emperor Yu stared at the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. He then spoke a single word. “Scram!”
“RUMBLE~” As the sound of Emperor Yu’s voice faded, the terrifying aura gushing forth from the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor transformed into a terrifying tempest. A divine glow covered his body, containing a supreme might. Stepping out, each and every one of his steps caused the hearts of the spectators to pound so intensely that it felt like their hearts would explode. While an extremely deep print was left behind on the ground following each of his steps.
The immortal emperors and immortal kings in the surroundings instantly exuded their own domains to protect their subordinates. For those with no background, they hurriedly retreated faraway. If immortal emperors were to fight each other here, the aftershocks from the impact of the attacks were more than sufficient to destroy them.
Because of Dongsheng Ting’s death, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was in a terrible mood now. His anger was like a volcano that could erupt at any instant. However, Emperor Yu was an ancient existence in the immortal realms and could be considered a senior of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. How could he not be angered when a junior spoke such words to him? Finally, he lost his temper and told the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor to scram. An immortal emperor-ranked battle might erupt at any moment.
Emperor Yu sat there, his body was also covered with a resplendent divine glow. White layers of armor enveloped him as his white hair and beard fluttered in the wind. Although he was simply sitting there, the aura gushing forth from him was extremely terrifying. His gaze was as sharp as swords as he locked eyes with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. At this instant, this old man seemed unfathomably powerful, a far cry from his decrepit appearance earlier.
“The mysterious Emperor Yu of the immortal realms. I wonder how strong are you exactly.” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor spoke as he continued stepping out. The ground trembled from the force of his steps, there seemed to be a unique rhythm that continued tremoring. The glow from the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor continued to flare even brighter as he punched out with his right fist, generating beams of light that tore through everything. The ground was completely eviscerated, breaking apart on two sides. It was simply terrifying to behold.
Emperor Yu’s palm shone with light as a terrifying might erupted forth from him. The immortal light radiating forth was extremely intense, like the blazing sun in the middle of the day. He stood up and pushed forth with his palm, the palm seemingly resembling the palm of gods.
“BOOM!” Emperor Yu soared up, instantly appearing high up in the sky. If they fought on the ground, an exchange of a single blow from the two of them would instantly level the God Hand Mountain Manor to flat ground.
“Rumble!” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor similarly soared up into the sky. His fist light opened up huge gaps through space as he faced Emperor Yu in midair.
“God’s Hand?”
Everyone could see the palm of Emperor Yu shining with a resplendent light. An instant later, an arrow manifested there, shimmering with a multi-colored glow as it locked onto the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
Finally, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor acted. Punching out, this entire space trembled from the force of his might. The fist light generated enveloped everything as the spectators below watched in shock and awe. His fist then blasted out, intent on destroying everything.
At the same time, Emperor Yu’s arrow shot out. The instant it shot out, a gigantic pair of demonic wings manifested, blotting out the sun. The endless rays of fist light slammed into the demonic wings as the sound of a colossal explosion thundered out. The punch from Eastern Sage failed to destroy the wings, as the arrow from Emperor Yu continued shooting towards him with an unbelievable amount of speed and force.
Everyone only saw the silhouette of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor retreating with explosive speed, vanishing from his original location to some place extremely far away. He punched out again and his fist imprint expanded to the size of a celestial object, capable of easily destroying an entire city. The people below stared dumbfoundedly as their hearts trembled when they saw how powerful immortal emperors are.
A beam of light arced through the skies, splitting the gigantic fist imprint into two. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor retreated explosively again as he stabbed out with a finger strike. Before his finger, that terrifying arrow finally grinded to a halt but even so, the destructive energies within flowed right into his body, ravaging it from the inside out. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had an extremely ugly expression on his face as he stared at the white-haired old man that was Emperor Yu. At this moment, Emperor Yu was exuding an air of tyranny and imposingness. He didn’t seem like a decrepit old man ready for the grave at all.
“Eastern Sage, you best be a little more respectful before me. If you dare to show any disrespect again, scram the fuck out of my God Hand Mountain Manor.” The old man faintly spoke, yet his voice thundered through the skies. After which, he floated down and returned to the banquet table he was sitting at earlier. His domineering aura dissipated as he transformed into a kind-looking old man once again. Leisurely lifting his cup of wine, it seemed like nothing has ever happened. It was basically impossible to imagine that this old man had such power in him.
The Violet Emperor, as well as the immortal emperors from the Ying and Jiang Clan, were all shocked badly. This low-profile and mysterious Emperor Yu wasn’t weak at all. On the contrary, he was strong but he truly wants to live the life of a hermit, living within the shadows and not caring about matters of the immortal realms. There was actually no one who knew that he was this powerful. Right now, all of them were silently speculating as to what level his cultivation base has reached.
Emperor Yu… Could it be that he has already stepped into the peak-tier level of immortal emperors?
Nanfeng Guhong’s beautiful eyes flashed with a brilliant light but she didn’t seem too surprised by how strong Emperor Yu was.
The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor floated down with an incredibly unsightly expression on his face. Today, his son Dongsheng Ting died within the mountain and his attacks were all broken through by a single arrow from Emperor Yu. He felt a great deal of shame.
“Courting your own humiliation.” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed. He was Eastern Sage’s enemy and naturally wouldn’t forget to stomp Eastern Sage’s face when he is down.
“Emperor Yu has truly hidden deep enough.” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor icily spoke, his tone filled with a hidden anger. But he no longer spoke any words of disrespect. Emperor Yu used true strength to show why he was someone deserving of respect. In any case, if it wasn’t for the mysterious masked young man, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would have already left this place.
This battle that erupted in such a short instant made everyone at the manor sigh in admiration. There were hidden dragons everywhere in the immortal realms where experts were as common as the clouds. One must never think that those low-profile immortal emperors were weak. This Emperor Yu merely used a single arrow to hold back the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. His strength clearly surpassed the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor by a lot. Also, there were most probably plenty of immortal emperors in the vast immortal realms who were as powerful but had chosen to live in seclusion.
That battle only had the exchange of a single move but the commotion caused was extremely great. Everyone in a radius of several thousand miles had seen the battle but those in the ancient mountain had no idea what just happened at all.
Right now, Qin Wentian and the others have already traversed the interior of the ancient mountain for several days. After some time of speeding up, they slowed down again because there would be attacks formed from the divine essence, launched at them. These strange attacks were able to directly brand themselves into the minds of the people, the force of the impact causing their bodies to tremble. Also, the further they proceeded, the stronger these attacks grew.
“What sort of character was Ancient Emperor Yi exactly?” Nanfeng Shengge sighed in a low voice. Being able to use the divine essence to block even immortal emperors from entering. What terrifying strength was this.
“I know of some information. You can very well imagine how powerful Ancient Emperor Yi was.” Nanfeng Yunxi smiled.
“What info?” Nanfeng Shengge curiously asked. Qin Wentian also turned his attention onto Nanfeng Yunxi.
“Emperor Yu, before he became an immortal emperor, he was extremely mysterious and low profile to the point where nobody knew his name. Because before this, he had never roamed the immortal realms and didn’t have a name. It is said that he was a servant of Ancient Emperor Yi.” Nanfeng Yunxi spoke, her words causing the eyes of Qin Wentian, Nanfeng Shengge and the rest to flash with astonishment. The powerful immortal emperor, Emperor Yu, was nothing but a servant of Ancient Emperor Yi?
“No wonder he is guarding the inheritance for Ancient Emperor Yi.” Nanfeng Shengge spoke in a light voice. Qin Wentian also believed that Nanfeng Yunxi’s words are true. This should be something the Phoenix Ancestor told her. The Phoenix Ancestor is a super saint beast that has been alive for a countless number of years.
“What is that?” At this moment, Jun Mengchen was staring at the distance. There were five ancient peaks there, so tall that they towered up into the heavens.
“Five fingers, these five ancient peaks seem to be the five fingers of a palm.” Qin Wentian’s gaze flickered. God’s Hand, five fingers. Could it be that the energy of the divine essence originated from there?
There’s not merely five fingers there. Was there the hollow of a palm below the five fingers?
“We will know once we go there and take a look.” Nanfeng Shengge smiled. The group of people proceeded forward, but their speed of advancement grew slower and slower. A whistling sound rang out and Qin Wentian only saw a palm imprint formed from divine essence smashing into him, the impact causing his entire body to shudder. At this moment, everyone was releasing immortal might as they strove to proceed forward. However, despite their best efforts, the number of people advancing continued to dwindle.
Finally, they made it through and could see the five huge ancient peaks that represented the five fingers. But right now, the formless energy manifested even more attacks and blasted them.
“Careful.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. Every step they took could only be done so through immense difficulty. The strength of the formless attacks formed by the divine essence was continually growing in power.
