Chapter 1214 - Suspected blue sky

Translator: Aran

Light flashed.

The ghost-faced grey-copper ball suddenly reappeared ten meters away.

“Your strength surprises me.” The ghost face flashed, its expression becoming sinister. There were two faint piercing cold light like they were from the world of death.

“Your despicable, but I am not at all surprised.” Ye Qingyu shook the [Blood Drinker Sword] in his hand, and the Martial Emperor blood that filled the sky, like swallows returning to their nest, were drawn into the [Blood Drinker Sword]. The body of Sovereign Dark Feather instantly turned into a puff of ashes, dissipating between the heaven and earth. The blood and body of an Emperor contained boundless essence and energy, and after transformation by the [Blood Drinker Sword], there was an endless stream pouring into Ye Qingyu's body to help him recover.

“Interesting... it can actually swallow and absorb other people's yuan essence,” the ghost face marveled.

Its eyes were quiet, paying attention to everything. It did not stop Ye Qingyu from absorbing the yuan essence of Sovereign Dark Feather. Evidently, in his view, even Ye Qingyu in his peak state was no match for him. It was more interested in the [Blood Drinker Sword] compared to the recovery rate of Ye Qingyu's strength.

Because an Emperor weapon that can absorb the power of the opponent to replenish itself was incredibly rare.

No, in its long life, it could even be said that he had never seen such a strange Emperor weapon before. The majority of Emperor weapons that he had seen were for attack, defense or escape purposes. While the sword in Ye Qingyu's hand, it cannot be said to be the strongest in attack, and its defense was similar to its attack. As for escape... what kind of escape effect can a sword have?

This young man had created an ingenious idea. An Emperor life treasure weapon like that was very rare and interesting.

And Ye Qingyu soon found that the influx of Emperor yuan essence into his body was incredibly magnificent. The feeling of weakness after activating the [Seventh Limit] of the [Limitless Divine Way] was quickly replenished, but the wound in his chest remains to be a problem. That grey mist that was almost like the curse of death was still around, and his injury was unable to recover. The big hole as before was still transparent all around, and also diminishing the ability of the Emperor body to heal itself and was constantly expanding his injuries.

“Suppress!”

Ye Qingyu engraved a mysterious ancient character in the void with the tip of the [Blood Drinker Sword]. It was the secret technique of the one hundred eight ancient characters. As the ancient character formed in the void, every stroke, like a chain, sealed Ye Qingyu's chest wound.

A mysterious power flowed all around, suppressing the curse of the grey deathly mist.

But it had only suppressed it, and not completely dispelled it.

“It seems that to completely remove the strange force in this wound will take a bit of effort.” Ye Qingyu knew that it was not the time to cure the injury now.

His attention and energy were concentrated onto the ghost face of the grey-copper ball.

Back then, during the starry sky battle between [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] and the Quasi-emperor of the Four Stars Sect and others, there was also a grey-copper bronze temple from the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss that almost killed [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei]. The reason [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] fell into the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss was also because the grey-copper temple had imprisoned him there. The grey-copper ball before Ye Qingyu, whether in colour or material, was very similar to the grey-copper temple. Could it be that the two are of the same origin?

Ye Qingyu held the [Blood Drinker Sword] in a tight grip, did not speak, and directly activated the [Limitless Divine Way]. The fiendgod sword technique was launched out, stirring up a storm of swords in the sky that engulfed the grey-copper ball.

“Haha, such a sword technique, although marvelous and is considered a superior Emperor technique, it cannot injure me.” The cold indifferent voice sounded again as the ghost face on the grey-copper ball took on an amused smile. With a slight shake, it had already crushed the blade storm into nothingness.

Ye Qingyu felt a shiver of apprehension.

This attack... is very strong. It is many times stronger than Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather.

Sky Emperor?

Ye Qingyu's mind flashed countless information. He had read all the books in the Military library, but had never come across one that mentioned a sovereign with this title. Moreover, to use the word Sky as the title already explained the question. Even among Martial Emperors, there is a difference in superiority. It was clear that this Sky Emperor was a very strong expert among all the Martial Emperors.

“I have watched you battle, you have mastered countless Emperor techniques, where did you get all these Emperor techniques?” The expression on the face of the grey-copper ball turned to anger, looking at Ye Qingyu.

The four types of human emotions, happiness, anger, sorrow and joy.

When the ghost face turned to an expression of anger, there was a natural power that made even Ye Qingyu instantly feel as if he was facing the Supreme Emperor, or an imposing father that cannot be disobeyed. Instantaneously, there was a timid feeling in his heart that made him wanted to let the sovereign know everything in full details.

But the next moment, Ye Qingyu's consciousness shook, and immediately restrained this impulse.

“What powerful method.”

Ye Qingyu subconsciously took a step back.

His consciousness power, after refinement with the [Cloud Top Cauldron], can be said to be incredibly strong. Adding to this, since becoming Emperor, his sea of consciousness can be said to be an integral whole. In the ancient bronze book [Fiendgod Titled Chart] there were also methods to take, control and refine the soul. He could be called a master of controlling the sea of consciousness. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to change the memory of the hundreds of thousands of beings in the Luoshen Ridge. But even so, facing the grey-copper ball he still lost control of his consciousness. This so-called Sky Emperor was indeed very terrifying.

Ye Qingyu's evaluation of him had increased by another level.

He knew that today he had absolutely met a fierce enemy.

But in truth, the Sky Emperor was even more surprised, “Huh? I have underestimated you. Even under my [Four Divisions of Emotions], you unexpectedly managed to escape so quickly... If I didn't know about your roots, I really would have thought that you’re a Martial Emperor of tens of thousands of years old. As expected, you are an unusual individual, then I even more can’t let you live.”

As its voice died away, it took the initiative to make a move.

There was no shocking technique or earth-shaking spectacles. The ghost-faced grey-copper ball simply vibrated slightly and charged over to kill Ye Qingyu.

Boom!

Ye Qingyu swung the pill cauldron up to block the attack.

The huge impact force blasted Ye Qingyu away.

There were cracks forming across his hands and blood seeping out.

But in the blink of an eye, the blood had already vanished. This sort of impact injury, for Ye Qingyu, was something that could be dealt with in a thought. He instantly recovered, but the only thing to worry about was that, in that moment of contact, the grey deathly mist had already curled around him like bone maggots.

This kind of strange force was too terrifying. Once attached to the body, like a curse of death, it would produce crazy destructive power. It was only with the secret method of the one hundred eight ancient characters that Ye Qingyu was able to suppress it, though it cannot be removed.

He activated the ‘suppress’ and ‘defense’ characters of the one hundred eight ancient characters to their peak. An invisible ancient character formation force spread out and shrouded around him, thereby blocking the grey deathly mist.

Following the unsuccessful attack, the ghost-faced grey-copper came smashing over once again.

The speed was greater than before.

The grey mist was more sinister and eerie than before.

Rumble!

In the blink of an eye, it was unknown how many impacts were made.

Ye Qingyu constantly swung the pill cauldron to defend, but gradually was unable to keep up with the extreme speed of the ghost-faced grey-copper ball. Moreover, the noise of the four types of human emotions was constantly being emitted, which disturbed the mind and had a strange irritating effect. Ye Qingyu, even if guarded his sea of consciousness, was still affected.

Whoosh!

Ye Qingyu in the end was unable to completely block it.

The ghost-faced grey-copper ball brushed past his shoulder. Even the [Formless Armor of Shifting Clouds] was unable to withstand against it. Immediately there was blood spurting out, Ye Qingyu's shoulder bone was exposed, and that grey deathly mist again began to frantically spread around Ye Qingyu's body through the wound.

“Suppress!”

Ye Qingyu bellowed, his left hand waving the pill cauldron to defend, while his right hand wrote out the ‘suppres’ character again with the tip of the sword. He suppressed the grey deathly mist in his shoulder wound to prevent the injury from worsening.

However, anyone could tell that he had fallen into a declining state.

But his expression was without the slightest trace of panic as before.

“Receive!”

Ye Qingyu suddenly summoned out the pill cauldron in the direction that the grey-copper ball was speeding over.

The lid opened, and a cauldron mouth appeared, like a bottomless abyss. There was a strange force gushing out, like the entrance to another world had been opened. Dozens of streams of black light visible to the naked eye began to emerge from it like tentacles, and instantly wrapped around the grey-copper ball.

“Huh?” the cold voice of Sky Emperor sounded.

The ghost face turned to a sorrowful expression, struggling desperately to break free. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it was pulled into the pill cauldron by the tentacle-like streams of black light. There were a few times it managed to escape before it was again dragged in...

Boom!

Eventually the lid of the cauldron closed.

In the moment of closing, a stream of blue light had escaped from it.

“What is this, how can it be able to hold the [Divine Meteorite Grey-copper]?” The blue light transformed into a faint shadow, appearing in the void as a human form. The face was clear, the hair long and blue. Tt was a middle-aged man whose face was twisted with shock and disbelief as he stared at the white pill cauldron. It was clear that he had realized the value of this white pill cauldron.

Is this the true face of the Sky Emperor?

Ye Qingyu's face went blank, an incredible stormy sea surging in his heart.

Because the middle-aged man with long blue hair looked incomparably familiar to Ye Qingyu. He looked exactly the same as that carefree blue-haired senior in White Deer Academy, who irresponsibly took Ye Qingyu and others out to training and in the end almost lost all the students, Blue Sky. At first glance, he thought he was a Blue Sky who had grown up.

There are people with such similar appearance in the world?
