Chapter 814 - Stone Spear Ancestor

Translator: Aran

Indeed, Ye Qingyu looked like he could not endure for much longer.

It was not just the one expert, but also many of the surrounding experts, who noticed this. There were also several Immortal Step realm experts who sensed that Ye Qingyu was losing blood qi and vitality at a crazy rate while the yuan qi movement in his body had become unstable. Even the incredibly-mystical cauldron was now in a state of exhaustion, its yellow radiance and ancient patterns sometimes bright and sometimes dull.

For some unknown reason, many people felt terribly pitiful of Ye Qingyu.

This truly-miraculous youth was one step away from creating a miracle, but unfortunately, things could only be decided by true strength in this cold and merciless martial world that went by the law of the jungle. If had he possessed that little bit more strength and entered the Saint - or even the Half-Saint - realm, those Black Moon Divine Palace talents and monsters who coveted his treasures would have turned into ashes already.

It reality was a tad too cruel to this gifted youth.

With his downfall, one could imagine what would happen to a pillar-less Heaven Wasteland Domain, its members, and the empress who was said to possess true Human Race imperial qi - they would certainly be plunged into great misery and suffering.

In the Black Moon Divine Palace’s representative station.

"Little imp, let's see how long you can endure for." A terrifying expert, who concealed himself within a dark-green mist, sensed Ye Qingyu's deterioration and laughed grimly. "While you might've wanted to trap and kill us, it's unfortunate that your strength doesn't match your nerve. Keke, after killing you, your treasures will become ours. When that time comes, we'll certainly treat the beings of the Heaven Wasteland Domain very well. They shall pay the price for your actions today, kekekeke!"

"That's right. We'll slaughter every being of the Heaven Wasteland Domain, and their blood shall smear the mountains and rivers," another trapped elderly Great Saint-level expert concurred. His face was covered in a black iron mask and his entire body was wreathed in black light, such that his face and identity were also concealed. However, from his sinister and cruel tone, it was apparent that he harbored an intense hatred for Ye Qingyu.

In fact, every expert caught in the [Red Lotus Hellfire] wished for nothing more currently than to cut Ye Qingyu into ten thousand pieces. To be trapped here as part of his plot was the greatest shame of their lives. Given their strength, cultivation, status, and experience, they would certainly become laughing stocks now that countless pairs of eyes had witnessed them being tricked by a lower domain bastard of a later generation and seen their resultant abject and embarrassing states. Rather than reflecting on how they came to be trapped here, they were instead vowing angrily to take revenge by turning the Heaven Wasteland Domain into seas of blood and mountains of corpses once they got out of here.

Ye Qingyu was bathed in blood all over.

He could also sense the decline of his vitality.

How fucking unreliable is this Shuang Wuyan? Why isn't he done yet?

He cursed anxiously in his heart.

If this went on, he would have no more strength to pin down Zhong Yuan and the others within ten minutes, and once they escaped, the day's plans would be completely in vain. Having so severely offended these jackals, much as he was not afraid of them, the Heaven Wasteland Domain would probably be unable to withstand the torture unleashed by them, and would thereby fall afoul of endless trouble.

No matter how high the price I pay, I must hold them down today.

Countless ideas flashed like lightning across his mind.

After contemplating for several breaths' worth of time, he made his final decision.

With a jolt of his thoughts, he summoned a jug of god-level yuan liquid which was stored in the [Cloud Top Cauldron]. Then, he readily gulped down a mouthful of it.

The god-level yuan liquid was a treasure which he had obtained from the Underground Moon Immortal Palace of the Clear River Domain. According to Old Fish, it was a legacy left by the Lightning Emperor of old and was thus of absolute authenticity and purity, belonging to the class of supreme origin crystal divine objects. The divine spiritual energy contained in just one drop of it would take an Immortal Step realm expert a year to fully absorb, and could enhance one's strength to the maximum degree. Except for that silly dog Little Nine whose stomach was akin to a bottomless pit, anyone else who tried to gulp down an entire mouthful as Ye Qingyu did would simply be courting death.

Indeed, as soon as the god-level yuan liquid entered his throat, he initially felt a warm current spread into his limbs and bones, making him feel comfortable like never before. The shatteringly-painful injuries on his body could no longer be felt at once. However, this feeling that everything was well lasted only for an instant, after which the warm current became scorching hot and the comfortable feeling became a hard-to-describe excruciating pain, as if millions of sharp needles were prowling through his body.

"Fuck..." Ye Qingyu was in so much pain that his mouth became foul.

He knew that this was the divine power in the god-level yuan liquid bursting out within his body.

If this boundlessly terrifying power was allowed to erupt as it pleased, there was a chance that his body would explode from it, and he would thus die with not a single remaining bone, constituting an even more miserable death than those people who were burned by the [Red Lotus Hellfire].

Therefore, the only thing he could do right now was to try expelling this power from his body as fast as possible.

The inhibition caused by the [Cloud Top Cauldron] meant that his body could at least hold off from exploding for some time. Operating the [True Will of the Sky Dragon], he transformed into a silver Sky Dragon and instantly raised the endurance of his physical body to the maximum. He then frenziedly cast the one hundred and eight-word incantation to fire up the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and sent it smashing forth.

He forcefully shifted the eruption of the god-level yuan liquid's power into the [Cloud Top Cauldron], of which the ancient patterns on its surface abruptly gave off an intense splendor.

At the same time, a strange change which even he had not expected occurred.

From among the ancient patterns, an ancestor figure which was holding a stone spear emerged directly and turned into a phantom giant that stood behind Ye Qingyu like a protective deity, shrouding him with its indistinct shadow. Although it did not have a face and could not be seen clearly, a prehistoric aura emanated from it and curled all around his body.

He instantly felt the pain brought about by the wildly-erupting god-level yuan liquid in his body abating, and vaguely felt that this stone spear ancestor was blessing his body's interior with some kind of mysterious power.

Swish!

Without thinking further, he seized the moment when the eruption of the god-level yuan liquid's power was at its peak state, and, together with the [Cloud Top Cauldron], turned it into a beam of bright splendor which struck toward the expert in dark-green mist.

Its speed, power, and splendor at this instant were god-knows-how-many-times stronger than it was previously.

"How? This power..."

Amid the dark-green mist, the countenance of the Great Saint who had resolved to massacre the Heaven Wasteland Domain changed dramatically. Sensing the terrifying power carried by the giant cauldron, he immediately knew that the situation was no good. Not even in his wildest imaginations did he believe that a spent Ye Qingyu could yet exert such power.

Sensing the coming of danger, he could not help but panic.

"Littlle imp, are you trying to kill me? You must be dreaming."

Letting out a loud roar, he did not care to withstand the threat of the [Red Lotus Hellfire], and instantly burst out a matchless power. Accompanied by chains of formations, a terrifying Great Saint pressure diffused from his body. An emerald-colored splendor dyed half of the sky in green as seemingly-material emerald ancient formations gathered endlessly in front of his body and turned into archean Yin-Yang patterns, forming a giant shield that wanted to block Ye Qingyu's strike head-on.

"Old fool, you wanted to massacre the Heaven Wasteland Domain? Then you'd better die first."

Turning into a dragon, Ye Qingyu crashed heavily into the emerald archean Yin-Yang patterns while protected by that indistinct ancestor.

Boom!

The world shook.

Dazzling emerald radiance spattered all over.

At this instant, countless onlookers squinted their eyes faintly and felt the strange dazzling light flickering at the center of the collision.

A strange feeling flashed across everyone's hearts.

That illusion of an ancestor throwing a spear seemed to possess a mysterious power which captured many people's souls.

The next moment.

Everything was settled.

The green radiance dissipated.

"Ah..." A shrilling cry was then heard.

The green mist-shrouded figure was flailing frantically in the [Red Lotus Hellfire], with red flames spewing from his facial orifices. No matter what secret methods he tried or how much he struggled, nothing could help his cause. An expert like him had accumulated so much bad karma that, once engulfed in the [Red Lotus Hellfire], it was impossible for him to extricate from it.

Evidently, that incredible collision had proved decisive.

This Great Saint-level expert was at a complete disadvantage.

Upon the collision, his protective yuan qi and Great Saint force field were broken and messed up, while he was sent flying and landed within the [Red Lotus Hellfire] which engulfed him during a moment of inattention.

Death was inevitable.

On the other side, Ye Qingyu's condition was a lot better than many people had expected.

This time, he not only spewed no blood, but also met with no feedback force.

He was somewhat surprised that the confrontation this time was this easy. Under the protection of the [Cloud Top Cauldron], this young man in bloodied white clothes was shocked for a moment before quickly regaining his senses, then struck forth and smashed the limbs of the desperately-struggling Great Saint, who eventually turned into sparks and ashes which dissipated among the red flames.

Meanwhile, the phantom of the ancient stone spear ancestor which protected behind Ye Qingyu's back also disappeared.

A bout of sharp pain compellingly spread within Ye Qingyu's body.
