Chapter 1086, Reborn
“What kind of sword is this?”
The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor instinctively felt danger, and drew back in a hurry.
Retreating rapidly.
The sword light roared across the sky.
In a flash, the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor had already retreated thousands of meters away to above the largest black-gold pyramid. His figure was flickering indefinitely like an illusion, staring at Ye Qingyu in wide-eyed disbelief, “You… have mastered this power?”
Ye Qingyu didn't respond.
As early as the end of the great battle among the Quasi-emperors in the starry Void, Ye Qingyu had already brought the [Divine Emperor Sword Mantra] to a state understood only by the Gods. He had reached the boundary of understanding of the true profound meaning of the [Life Sword Mantra], and then through the constant deduction of these days, had finally mastered the power of the [Life Sword Mantra].
“Kill your sword.”
Ye Qingyu soared, like he was treading on waves, moving closer to the great pyramid.
“Hmph, just mastered a little superficial power of belief.” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor soon calmed down. The one thing that could make him, who possessed the qi of the Emperor, feel threatened, was the power of belief. “You are nothing but a body, without occupying the throne, how much power of belief can you gather? If you had ascended the Emperor throne of the Heaven Wasteland Empire, then perhaps you may be luckily spared today, but now…”
The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor consciously pointed out the key point, but before he finished, there was an abrupt change of expression on his face.
Because a jet of blood had burst out from the wrist of his right hand.
Then, his whole right palm was broken.
The sword was too fast.
The sword was too divine.
So much so that he did not realize that his right hand was cut off.
How was that possible?
The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor did not feel that, given his present cultivation level, given the arrangement he planned out for today, he would still make such a mistake. How would he not know that he had suffered a sword wound? What was going on, the sword light just now… was there such swordsmanship in this world?
“Die.”
Ye Qingyu launched a sword strike again.
The sword light was blurred.
With the rise of the sword, power erupted.
The heavens and earth changed.
The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor’s expression changed, feeling the shadows of death descending again. He realized that this was an indefensible mysterious sword, and if he were to face it head-on he would only repeat the disaster before.
Retreat!
Retreat quickly!
Retreat rapidly!
He even transformed directly into nothingness, escaped into the huge black pyramid, in order to avoid the battle. Given his current state, there was no way he would personally take the risk. The so-called glory, brilliance, acute spirit and so on, had long been buried tens of thousands of years ago. Now he only wanted to not die. Since Ye Qingyu had made him feel danger, then he must immediately change his strategy and give up on a direct battle.
Sword light filled the sky, shattering the Void.
Ye Qingyu followed into the pyramid forest.
His mastery of the [Life Sword Mantra] was still very shallow, and could not be compared to his control of the [Divine Emperor Sword Mantra]; therefore, the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor had managed to escape.
The moment he entered the pyramid forest, the scene before him changed immediately.
The Dragon cave, dragon tombs and everything had disappeared completely. The scene in sight had turned into a hot and boundless golden desert. The scorching sun, like flames, was roasting a large area of desert, heat waves rolling across, wind lifting the gravel, and sand dunes were like rushing waves.
Illusion?
Ye Qingyu was taken aback.
When he entered the Dragon cave mausoleum, he had guessed that the so-called Dragon cave would be a small world of comprised of underground illusions, but the reality broke his speculation. He did not think that there would be such illusions in the pyramid forest.
According to legend, the underground dragon cave was where a former Dragon King resided. Thus the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor should have created the pyramid forest illusions.
A gush of heat wave hit him head-on.
Like blades of fire cutting his face.
Ye Qingyu also felt bursts of severe pain
The golden desert was vast and boundless. The sun hung high in the sky, and it was impossible to distinguish the direction, making him feel lost, confused and panic.
Ye Qingyu released his divine sense.
“Infinite and boundless… there is no direction, there are no indications, like a real desert.”
His divine sense also could not see through this desert illusion.
The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor was more powerful than he had thought.
But Ye Qingyu was not thrown into disorder.
He was originally a peerless formation master, although it may take some time to break the formation, it will never really trap him.
He was only worried about the Dragon Human Emperor and the others outside.
While he was trapped here, the Dragon Human Emperor and the others may not be able to withstand a single blow. The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor could kill them with one thought, or even refine them into dragon corpse puppets.
Ye Qingyu had reached an agreement with the Dragon Human Emperor for the cooperation between the Dragon Human Domain and Heaven Wasteland Domain. For Heaven Wasteland Domain, an ally like the Dragon Human Race was incredibly important, so Ye Qingyu must find a way to protect the Dragon Human Emperor and not let him die.
……
“Can a beast like you stop me?”
The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor sneered.
Although wounded, his broken wrist was re-grown. But his aura was fluctuating a little. The second [Life Sword Mantra] that Ye Qingyu slashed out had still wounded him as before, which made him shocked and furious, unable to accept this. He had sacrificed so much to achieve the cultivation level he had today, while Ye Qingyu was just a junior of the Human Race. He was so young and still has a long life ahead of him, yet was already so astonishing?
Deep down, he was on the verge of being unable to bear the jealousy in his heart.
And opposite him, the white Bone Dragon Puppet Bloodworm emitted a roar as it shielded the Dragon Human Emperor's body.
The other six Dragon Human Race experts had already fallen, souls scattered, and only their physical body remained. The dark forces had penetrated into their flesh, refining their body into dark battle puppets.
“I have failed you.”
The Dragon Human Emperor was both infuriated and helpless.
These six top Great Saint experts were loyal elites of the Dragonblood imperial court, had served the military their entire life and had contributed greatly to the imperial court. Their life yuan was almost exhausted so they recommended themselves to follow the Dragon Human Emperor and Ye Qingyu into the Dragon cave. What they hoped to do was to dedicate their last bit of strength to the Dragon Human Race in the last moments of their life, and that they could rest in the Dragon cave mausoleum after death….
But now they had been refined into puppets and not allowed to rest in peace.
“Roar!”
The white Bone Dragon Puppet Bloodworm roared, its huge body constantly shrinking in size.
Before the battle, Ye Qingyu had secretly left the Puppet Bloodworm to protect the Dragon Human Emperor. After Ye Qingyu fell into the illusion, the Puppet Bloodworm appeared, but unfortunately was unable to protect the six Great Saint experts of the Dragon Human Race.
It was shaking, was in fear
It had absorbed the power and memory of Wei Wubing and Zhang Wuxin, and the status and identity of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor was evidently above these two dark creatures. Therefore, the Puppet Bloodworm had also inherited their awe and fear of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor and dared not to fight the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor head-on.
“Interesting, you were not born in the dark domain? In the world of light, dark things can also be born?” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor sent the littte Puppet Bloodworm flying, but was a little surprised by some of the clues he became aware of.
“Roar!”
The Puppet Bloodworm roared, endless black fog shrouded its body and releasing all sorts of remarkable power and techniques. No matter how it struggled, was still unable to wound the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor in the slightest.
“Interesting.” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor seemed very interested, “Darkness that is born in light, I have never heard of it before… Ye Qingyu unexpectedly has obtained this kind of thing and refined a body for you using demonic bones. Hahaha, surrender to me.”
As he was speaking, countless dark light beams were created out of thin air from the surrounding space, and then twisted around the huge body of the little Puppet Bloodworm like a rope.
The little Puppet Bloodworm roared, resisting wildly.
“Huh? Still struggling?” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor’s face darkened. “Recognize me as the Lord, or else die!”
“Don't serve two masters!”
The Puppet Bloodworm responded in a struggle.
It also did not know why it made such a decision.
But that was still what it said.
It was an instinctive choice.
The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor looked slightly disappointed, eyes flashing, “Fine, go die.”
Before his voice faded.
The dark light beams shrank, crushing the body of the little Puppet Bloodworm directly.
It was at this moment——
Swoosh!
A blood coloured brilliance pierced the air, with an incomparably imposing manner, and locked onto the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor to behead him.
“Huh?”
The expression on the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor’s face changed abruptly, as if had encountered an unbelievable thing. He raised the scepter-halberd to block the attack.
Boom!
He was blasted dozens of meters away.
The blood light flew back, and in a flash, had already severed the black beams of light around the white Bone Dragon Puppet Bloodworm.
A burly and domineering figure came out of the ripples of the Void.
“It's you?” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor exclaimed, “You're still alive?”
The figure made a backhand grabbing motion to grasp the blood-coloured brilliance, as he proudly said, “Granduncle has not yet died, how would this junior dare to die first. I will personally free Granduncle of worldly worries.”
“Father.”
The Dragon Human Emperor was trembling with joy.
“No need to be so polite, it's been hard for you,” the figure said faintly.
He was the Supreme Emperor of the Dragon Human Race who was rumoured to have died, and the blood-coloured light gripped firmly in his hand was the ancestral weapon of the Dragon Human Race, the [Dragonblood Halberd].
“It turns out that you faked your death and hid it from me.” It was a huge shock to the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor, knowing that at that time he had secretly checked the Supreme Emperor’s condition.
“It was not easy to hide it from Granduncle.” The Supreme Emperor sighed, “I have plotted this my entire life and so did my father. This is the effort of two generations of emperors, but today… I have something I want to say: I ask Granduncle to turn back and think for the continuation of my Dragon Human Race. It is still not too late to turn back today.”
The imperial family of the Dragon Human Race had long been aware of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor’s plot but couldn’t do anything, other than secretly plan out this scheme.
“Hahaha…” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor burst into loud laughter, “The continuation of the Dragon Human Race? What does that have to do with me? I have saved the Dragon Human Race once, I have already paid back in full. Now, I only think for myself… Even if you have successfully faked death, so what? Can you defeat me?”
