Chapter 588 – The Divine Stone from the Heavens

In the extreme northern region, the land of eternal cold, the sky was fluttering with thick snow that flooded one’s line of sight.

Several tents were nailed tight to the frozen earth. As strong winds howled all around, the tight tent ropes emitted loud cracking sounds that left one’s scalp tingling.

Not too far away, several people wore thick robes that completely bound up their faces. Only their eyes were revealed. Right now they were doing their best to herd a flock of sheep into a tent.

“Hurry up! The snow is getting worse!” A tall and burly man held two thin sheep in his hands as he trudged forward in the snow and wind. Even though he exhausted all of his strength to speak, his voice didn’t travel too far.

He arrived in front of the curtain and carefully set down the two sheep. They couldn’t allow these sheep to be injured by the bitter cold, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to survive this.

The cold winter was becoming increasingly long. Who knew when these sheep would become their only remaining rations?

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling in his ears. The man spun around and looked up into the skies. The fear of the unknown left his complexion pale white.

The thick clouds that had accumulated in the skies over the countless years were like soft butter cut through by a burning hot knife. A searing heat burnt through the layer of clouds, causing the thick fluttering snow to directly evaporate.

As sunlight fell upon the man’s face, he looked at what he saw as if he were witnessing a miracle take place.

A massive blazing fireball cut through the heavens like a meteor. The flames that combusted on its surface formed the phantom of a phoenix in the skies. It had magnificent feathers, a long tail and wings, and an ice cold expression that looked down upon the world with disdain. It fully revealed its great strength and dignity.

In the tenth era of the Divinity and Demons Calendar, a divine stone fell. Starting at the northern border, it flew across the Land of Divinity and Demons and landed in the South Sea!

As the stone crashed down, it stirred up a trillion endless waves, shaking the entire Land of Divinity and Demons!

…

Sea of Purgatory, 41st year.

Qin Yu opened his eyes and a sharp light exploded in them. A look of excitement crossed his face.

His aura burst out, instantly smashing his cave dwelling into pieces.

Whoosh –

He shot up into the skies, soaring high into the heavens.

The dusky gray skies were currently like a raging stormy sea. The clusters of clouds wildly tumbled about, emanating a frightening atmosphere.

At this moment, even if a 100,000 foot mountain peak reached into these tumbling cloud clusters it would still be grinded into dust.

Qin Yu’s figure didn’t stop; he rushed right in. The destructive strength rubbed against his protective barrier, causing fierce flames to ignite around him.

He was like a giant fireball in the skies. As he sensed his surroundings, ecstatic joy lit up his features.

Qin Yu had no idea what happened outside that caused Ying Capital’s great array to shake so much, but to him this was the best chance.

Flickering flames illuminated Qin Yu’s face. His expression was earnest as he erupted with his full divine sense.

The shaking had just begun and the destructive strength hadn’t yet reached its strongest level. Wait a moment…wait a little bit longer…

His heart surged like the sea, synchronizing with the shaking around him, producing massive wave after massive wave.

The waves gradually strengthened…then, when several waves merged into one, turning into a dreadful sky-climbing tsunami!

This was the time!

Qin Yu stepped forward. Space twisted around him before collapsing inward. His figure howled out like a burning meteor as he punched with all his strength.

His body fiercely shook and he could hear the groaning of his bones in his ears. This wild strength fused with the shaking all around him, recklessly attacking Ying Capital’s great defensive array.

Kacha –

A weak shattering sound entered Qin Yu’s ears. He smiled with joy. Without any hesitation, his figure instantly escaped into the tiny opening created in the array formation.

The moment Qin Yu entered the opening, he slowed down and a look of realization crossed his face. No wonder this place had become the weakness of the array formation.

He could feel an extreme cold strength that had yet to diverge from this crack. This was Shen Yuanyin’s aura.

This was where she had left from!

These years, he had walked through every corner of the Sea of Purgatory and hadn’t found a single trace left behind by her. Although he had already expected that she had left, he only relaxed now after finally confirming it.

Hu –

A completely different aura appeared in his senses. Qin Yu gathered his thoughts and laughed with joy.

The Land of Divinity and Demons…he was finally back!

Great Chu, the Emperor’s Palace.

Mi Ganyuan frowned. He looked towards the direction where the divine stone fell. He was constantly replaying the scene of the divine stone flying over Ying Capital.

That aura was so strong that it shook the heart!

It was at this time that an unusual fluctuation appeared in his senses. Mi Ganyuan’s complexion changed.

He took a step out and his figure vanished from sight. When he appeared next, he was in another corner of Ying Capital.

A crack appeared in the space in front of him before immediately shattering. It formed a massive gap from which a figure flew out.

“Who are you?” A low and deep voice billowed forward, carrying with it an incomparably strong momentum. Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows. He immediately recognized this person in front of him.

It was His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu, one of the most honored peak super powerhouses of the world!

But any attempts of explaining himself at this moment were useless. Qin Yu lifted a palm and thrust out.

Mi Ganyuan coldly shouted, “You are seeking death!”

Terrifying fluctuations instantly erupted. They were like a mountain falling from the heavens, loudly smashing downwards.

Bang –

There was a heaven-shaking rumble. Qin Yu drew back, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then instantly vanished.

Mi Ganyuan flicked his sleeves. “Stay!” All around, space began to twist. The strength of Ying Capital’s great array was being moved.

Not too far away, space shattered and Qin Yu staggered out. His face was paler than before.

The Chu Emperor possessed astonishing strength and also had Ying Capital’s great array formation assisting him. He was absolutely not someone that Qin Yu could face at this moment.

Qin Yu turned and fled without another word!

Behind him, the Chu Emperor had a grim expression. His eyes became increasingly cold.

This cultivator was strange and unfamiliar. He had never heard of someone with such startling strength before.

Although this person had no choice but to run away in distress, the Chu Emperor wasn’t able to kill him even with his cultivation added onto Ying Capital’s great array. If even the Chu Emperor couldn’t kill this person, how many people in this world could?

And most importantly, this cultivator had broken out from Ying Capital’s great array, escaping from the Sea of Purgatory.

That person from the Immortal Sect had an incomparably precious status. Even if he was the emperor of the Chu Empire, there was nothing he could do to her.

This cultivator was the best chance for him to unravel his doubts.

“Ying Capital!”

𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Mi Ganyuan roared out loud. The full might of the array formation was gathered.

In his initial battle with Emperor Zhou, Ying Capital had been severely damaged and the city suffered countless deaths.

Today, he would not permit something similar to happen.

Qin Yu could feel the thickening air around him and the terrifying aura percolating in the air. He shouted out in his heart, “Undying!”

In terms of running, Undying was definitely stronger…this bastard had been watching the fun all along!

All around Qin Yu, space began to collapse. It formed a massive black mouth that swallowed him up.

The Chu Emperor was shocked and angered. “Suppress!”

Soon after, the black mouth that had just emerged twisted and then vanished.

All of Ying Capital quivered and paled beneath the anger of the Chu Emperor.

With his cultivation and with him gathering the full strength of the great array formation, this person had still managed to flee.

Just who was this cultivator!?
