Chapter 1111 The Remarkable Abilities of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors

Translator: Aran

He moved with unparalleled grace and was a gentleman unlike any other.

The black-haired, white-robed Ye Qingyu entered the room as gracefully as a dragon and commanded everyone's attention. As he entered, he seemed to bring along the warmth of the sun with him, and soon after, the entire hall became warmer and the gloominess in the room disappeared. Even the air seemed brighter and more gentle.

He walked in like an elegant nobleman without any strong presence, but the hundreds of experts in the hall, including the hook-nosed young man, all found themselves at a sudden loss for words.

"My lord, watch out!"

"He has an Emperor weapon, a true Emperor weapon!"

Lin Yutang and Tang Chong were the first to yell out a warning to Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu waved his hand.

There were no energy waves, but the customized steel hooks clinked sharply, then the formation hooks turned into smoke and disappeared. A gentle force lowered down Spokesperson Li, Lin Yutang, and the others and sent them toward him.

"How dare you!" said the hook-nosed young man.

How dare Ye Qingyu try to rescue his friends from under his nose? He must be a na?ve fool if he thought this plan could work. The hook-nosed young man raised his hand and a bolt of lightning charged out.

The power of lightning laws surged.

Ye Qingyu's face changed slightly and there was a flash of confusion in his eyes, but he did not counter with an attack of his own.

Thump!

There was a dull thud in the void.

Layers of transparent ripples undulated through the void like the ripples in a pond.

Spokesperson Li and the others safely reached his side.

"Many thanks." Lin Yutang and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

Spokesperson Li sighed with relief and said, "I'm sorry that I had to trouble you to come all the way here." After Ye Qingyu retreated to live in seclusion, he was the spokesperson of the Human Race headquarters and was supposed to be in charge of the affairs of the Human Race. Yet, the Human Race headquarters was attacked and the four main leaders of the White-robed Divine Guards were captured. This was the greatest insult the headquarters had experienced in a thousand years, so Spokesperson Li felt extremely guilty and held himself responsible for this mess.

"I'm sorry for coming late," Ye Qingyu responded.

The person who had attacked the Human Race headquarters was also a Human Race Quasi-emperor, so this would not cause too much controversy. After all, he had once done the same thing, but the nature of both incidents was vastly different.

"My lord, they… they plan to attack the Heaven Wasteland Domain and Snow capital," the Great Dragon Turtle Demon said anxiously. He looked like he was on the verge of collapsing because his cultivation was the weakest among the group, and thus, he had felt the impact of this torture method the most. He had barely managed to hang on until today and his blood had almost run dry, so he was extremely frail.

"I know, don't worry," Ye Qingyu said as he placed a hand on the Great Dragon Turtle Demon's shoulder. Then, a warm current entered the Great Dragon Turtle Demon's body that healed his wounds. He was an important official of the Heaven Wasteland Domain and he had made important contributions to both the Heaven Wasteland envoy mission of the past and to the Heaven Wasteland Building that he was now in charge of. However, he had also suffered a lot.

The hook-nosed young man was also equally shocked.

He was surprised to see that his attack had failed to stop Ye Qingyu from rescuing his friends. This meant that Ye Qingyu was stronger than the rumors made him out to be, and as he closely examined Ye Qingyu, he found that he was unable to discern his actual cultivation. However, he quickly figured out the reason. It was rumored that Ye Qingyu possessed a secret weapon that could kill Quasi-emperors, so this weapon must have also been concealing his true aura and achieved the effect of preventing others from discerning his true cultivation.

"Are you Ye Qingyu? Did you finally summon up the courage to come? I almost thought that you were going to spend the rest of your life in hiding like a frightened turtle. Haha. I'm glad to see that there's some courage in you after all," the hook-nosed young man rose to his feet and said haughtily as he stood high above the hall.

By this time, the [Yellow Sand Hundred Battle Golden Armored] soldiers, which numbered more than a hundred, and that elderly servant had completely surrounded Ye Qingyu from all directions.

Ye Qingyu ignored them all.

He did not even pay any heed to the hook-nosed young man's words.

"The most important thing right now is for all of you to recuperate. I'll handle the rest," he said to the six experts. Then, snow started dancing through the sky like icy, protective elves and made a formation that protected the area within a twenty-meter radius.

The six men nodded.

They had to refine the blood collected in the vat all over again. Otherwise, they would lose half their life's cultivation and it would take them centuries before they would be able to attain the same cultivation again.

The hook-nosed young man's expression turned sinister.

Since becoming a Quasi-emperor, no one had dared to be this rude to him.

"Haha, what would you be able to do even after these six useless people regain their strength? You are all destined to die here today." The hook-nosed young man laughed coldly and pointed at Ye Qingyu. "Today, I will kill the [Ice Sword Killing God] here at the Alliance of Domains, and thereafter, I'll be invincible throughout the entire world!"

Ye Qingyu walked out of the icy formation and frowned. "Why do you possess the lightning way of the [Lightning Emperor]? How is the lost clan of Ye related to the [Lightning Emperor]?"

"Oh? I'm surprised you recognized it. Our clan is the most superior clan of the Human Race, so why are you so surprised that we're able to exert the mysterious technique of the [Lightning Emperor]?" The hook-nosed young man laughed and continued, "It isn't only the [Lightning Emperor], I'll be able to exert the mysterious techniques of the [Heavenly Fire Emperor] and the [Drifting Cloud Emperor] at any moment. What does a barbarian like yourself know about the power of our clan? I must admit that you're the most outstanding person of the Human Race, but your biggest mistake was to make an enemy out of our clan."

Ye Qingyu's eyebrows raised at his words.

The lost clan of Ye seemed to be an ancient clan with a big secret.

Why hadn't he heard of such a powerful clan before? Based on the actions of both Ye Chongsheng and this hook-nosed young man, this clan was definitely not one to keep a low profile. If they were as powerful as they claimed to be, they would have already found some way to flaunt their power earlier, so why did they wait until now to make such a high-profile appearance?

"Are you a Quasi-emperor?" he asked as he looked appraisingly at this hook-nosed young man and noticed his aura. He was indeed powerful, but there was something very odd about this aura. "What's your name and what position do you hold within the Ye clan?"

He probed further as he tried to gain more information about the lost clan of Ye.

"He is the current patriarch of the Ye family, Ye Chen," the elderly servant said as he bowed toward the hook-nosed young man. Then he turned to face Ye Qingyu and said fiercely, "All the humans of this era should be grateful to our clan. If not for the fact that we had blocked the dark forces, the current Vast Thousand Domains would have already become a living hell. We are the descendants of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the successors handpicked by the most powerful ancestors of humankind. Ye Qingyu, who do you think you are to be able to speak so impudently to our patriarch? Why aren't you kneeling?"

Ye Qingyu treated the elderly man like a dog that was barking madly and ignored him.

He caught a surprising piece of news in that person's words. There was definitely some element of boastfulness in that statement, but there was also truth in it. He was surprised to find out that the lost clan of Ye was connected in some way to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and that the history even involved the Dark Realm. He had thought that this Ye clan was merely an ancient clan that was keeping a low-profile.

However, if they were truly related to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, they would not be acting in such a disgraceful manner.

Both Ye Chongsheng and their patriarch Ye Chen were both arrogant and overbearing, and their mental cultivation was extremely bad. They lacked the moral character that befitted their cultivation, to say nothing of their mentality and spirit. Based on the principles of the martial way, it would be impossible for people like them to become top-level experts.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" The hook-nosed young man, Ye Chen, smiled coldly. "If you're scared, then get on your knees right now and pledge your allegiance to me. If you agree to be my servant, I just might spare you."

Ye Qingyu shook his head.

Neither this man's temperament nor state of mind were even up to the standard of an ordinary Saint expert, so how could he have the strength of a Quasi-emperor? Moreover, he even possessed a true Emperor weapon. The way he was acting did not seem like this was the result of years of cultivation and history. Instead, he acted like a man who had suddenly become rich overnight.

"Did you just shake your head? Are you afraid now?" Ye Chen laughed proudly. "You must have realized that you're not my match and you're now quaking in your boots, right?"

Ye Qingyu ignored him.

He was contemplating another issue.

Ye Chen and Ye Chongsheng both shared the same last name of "Ye", so did this have anything to do with his own last name? It would be too much of a coincidence otherwise, and besides, the name "Chongsheng" also meant reincarnation, so there was a special meaning attached to his name.

"What exactly are you doing?" Ye Chen asked. He finally realized that Ye Qingyu was not afraid, but rather, he seemed a little distracted and was obviously not taking him seriously.

Ye Qingyu shook himself out of his reverie with a start and nodded. "Didn't you want to kill me? Come on then. Let me see how much of the Three Sovereigns' and Five Emperors' legacies the lost clan of Ye have obtained."

"Hehe… You should feel honored to have the chance to perish by the legacies of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors," Ye Chen scoffed and emerged from the depths of the main hall.

Thunder and lightning followed him with every step he took.

Bolts of lightning moved like silver snakes and spread from the bottom of his feet. And the silver lightning bolts gathered like lotus flowers, so it seemed as though lotuses bloomed at his feet with every step he took, like a divine king who descended to the mortal realm.

"These are the mysteries of lightning and thunder and it truly is the legacy of the [Lightning Emperor]." Ye Qingyu himself had also obtained part of the legacy of the [Lightning Emperor], and thus, easily recognized Ye Chen's technique as a mysterious technique of the [Lightning Emperor] and not an imitation technique.

What's going on?

Ye Chen had been speaking the truth.

Despite his surprise, Ye Qingyu strode forward to meet him.

"[Thunder Print – Bondage Kill]!" Ye Chen roared.

Instantly, countless lightning and thunder serpents scattered wildly and spread all over the floor of the main hall to form a large thunder net that threatened to hold Ye Qingyu captive.

"This isn't enough to defeat me," Ye Qingyu said as he shook his head.

He stamped his feet gently.

A ray of silver flowing light bloomed under his feet and the lightning and thunder net immediately disappeared, as though he had poured boiling water over ice.

He had an understanding of the [Lightning Emperor's] techniques and thus could counter this attack effortlessly. However, this was limited to the lightning and thunder attacks that Ye Chen exerted. If he were to battle the [Lightning Emperor] himself or a true Lightning Quasi-emperor, it would not have been so easy for him.

"Haha, interesting," Ye Chen said as his lips curved into a proud smile.

"This [Bondage Kill] is the simplest move in my arsenal. Next… [Luosu Formations – Heavenly Warning]!"

He had managed to exert the deadly technique of [Formation Emperor Luosu].

This was yet another remarkable ability of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Spokesperson Li and the others turned pale in the distance.
