Chapter 1087, Rest in peace
“If it were in normal conditions, I naturally would be no match for Granduncle.” The [Dragonblood Halberd] was quivering in the Supreme Emperor’s hand, producing the cry of a dragon, “But for today's fight, the Dragon Human Race has been preparing for a long time. I did not fake death but had really died. I died but am not dead, just for today's battle.”
The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor looked shocked.
The next moment, understanding dawning on his face.
“You... have become the spirit of the ancestral weapon? You have turned your essence, yuan qi, flesh and blood into energy and injected into the [Dragonblood Halberd], you... I understand.” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor was shaken.
“It's not just me,” the Supreme Emperor added.
Before his voice faded.
The [Dragonblood Halberd] in his hand suddenly burst out rays of scarlet red light, which then transformed into different figures. They were experts of the Dragon Human Race, all tall and burly, and with a purple-gold dragon horn on their head. All were clad in a dragon robe armour and Emperor crown. Their imposing manner and strength was not in the slightest weaker than the Supreme Emperor, and several of them seemed to be peerless experts.
Including the Supreme Emperor, there was a total of eight figures.
Each figure was a former emperor of the Dragon Human Race.
“Haha, interesting, I understand, no wonder that in these five years, the reign of every emperor of the Dragon Human Race was extremely short. It turns out they all chose death and sealed their power into the [Dragonblood Hablerd]. Five hundred years ago, you had already realized and had begun to prepare?”
“That's correct,” the Supreme Emperor said. “Granduncle had occupied the Dragon cave mausoleum, stealing the dragon qi of the imperial court, and had set up this formation using the feng shui and flow of qi of the imperial court. It would be difficult for even a Quasi-emperor to break this formation, so we had to gather eight emperors who all carry the same imperial qi to destroy your plan.”
“For today, you really have put in so much effort.” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor's face darkened. He thought that everything in the Dragon Human Domain was within his monitoring and calculation. It wasn't until today that he came to realize that, although he took into account every little possibility in his plan, he was still tricked by a group of juniors.
The current Dragon Human Emperor on the other side was similarly trembling with excitement.
This turned out to be the truth.
Over the past five hundred years, the Emperor of the Dragon Human Race had changed constantly, which resulted in the unrest of the imperial court, and disorder among the citizens. There were constantly rumours that the heavens had placed a curse on the Dragon Human Race because of the misconduct of the Dragon Human Race’s imperial family. All the emperors of the Dragon Human Race died young, and were taken advantage of by some ambitious people, setting off chaos in the imperial court and causing disloyalty among the vassals. The originally powerful Dragonblood imperial court was weakened again and again.
It turned out that the death of the Emperors of the Dragon Human Race was for this reason.
“But do you think you can kill me with just this effort?” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor burst into loud laughter, “I am afraid it's just wishful thinking, I have prepared for tens of thousands of years, while you have only been preparing for five hundred years.”
“You will know after a try, we just want to break your formation, there is another person who will kill you.”
The other seven Dragon Human Race Emperors were continuously changing position, surrounding the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor. They were all the descendants of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor, and although dead, they sill possessed the imperial qi and thus could clearly capture the presence of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor’s body. The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor had tried several times, but was shocked to find that no matter what methods he used he could not get out of this encirclement.
“Someone else?” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor sneered, “Ye Qingyu? I have already trapped him in the [Imperial Dao Formation]. He does not possess imperial qi so it would be impossible for him to break free. You have painstakingly planned this for more than five hundred years, yet you placed your last hope on an outsider. It is both ridiculous and pathetic.”
“Outsider?” The Supreme Emperor had a determined expression on his face, eyes flashing like lightning. “He is the person of nothingness in the prophecy of the Dragon God, who can break everything. This [Dragonblood Halberd] has been in his hands for some time, infected with his qi of nothingness, therefore it can break your formation.”
The current Dragon Human Emperor immediately understood when he heard this. It turned out that the reason the Supreme Emperoe chose to see Ye Qingyu was not to win back the halberd, but for this reason. There should be other plans in the five hundred years of preparation. The bodies of the other seven Dragon Emperors were placed in other vessels. But Ye Qingyu had brought the [Dragonblood Halberd] out from the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss, which had inadvertently helped the Dragon Human Race. Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor found that Ye Qingyu was a person with the life of nothingness, then simply directly abandoned his physical body to enter into the halberd, and then waited for a period of time before Xu Wuya retrieved it. This was the reason.
The appearance of the [Dragonblood Halberd] and Ye Qingyu obviously made the Emperors of the Dragon Human Race have a greater confidence in their painstaking preparation.
“Life of nothingness? The Prophecy of the Dragon God?” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor sharply felt something was wrong, and at last there was a sense of uneasiness.
But the next moment the Supreme Emperor threw his hand out.
The [Dragonblood Halberd] was suspended in the Void.
And the eight Dragons Emperors’ figures were frantically flowing out streams of bright yellow imperial qi, like eight gold dragons, howling and extending, and instantly coiled around the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor. No matter how he activated all kinds of techniques and strength he simply could not break free.
“The Dragon God... refine!”
The Dragon cave resonated with the voice of the eight Dragon Emperors.
“You...” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor only felt as though he was incinerated by raging flames. He felt incomparable pain. He struggled. He roared. He knew that if this continued he really would be refined.
“Dragon cave as the formation, dragon tomb as the flag, break it for me.”
At this critical moment of life and death, the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor roared. He no longer had the slightest reservation and directly activated all the means he had arranged in the Dragon cave.
Rumble!
The whole Dragon cave was quaking.
Countless shadows were seen crawling out of the grave, turning into bones. Countless experts of the Dragon Human Race had been corroded by the forces of darkness, turned into battle puppets, and even the Dragon cave was releasing a power that attacked and crushed the eight Dragon Human Emperors.
“Stop them,” the Supreme Emperor bellowed.
The current Dragon Human Emperor roared, summoning out a blood dragon seal.
The jade seal of the Emperor of the Dragonblood imperial court.
The treasure of the kingdom.
The current Dragon Human Emperor frantically burned his imperial qi, triggering the treasured jade seal, released infinite rays of light, which contained even the power and will of the Dragon God. Although it was residual power, it had a natural suppressive force on everything in the Dragon cave.
The moment the jade seal was summoned out, the originally restless Dragon cave all of a sudden calmed down.
And those skeletons and shadows that crawled out of the tombs were also suppressed, frozen where they were.
The [Dragonblood Halberd]was constantly expanding in the Void.
Like a dragon slayer blade it was suspended overhead.
……
……
“Huh?”
Ye Qingyu, who was trapped in the desert illusion and could not break out for a long while. He was irritated and impatient, when all of a sudden the yellow sand before him faded without warning, the sun in the sky vanished, and a familiar aura returned. In the blink of an eye, all the illusions had disappeared.
What's going on?
He was perplexed.
At this moment, the voice of the current emperor of the Dragon Human Race sounded, “Mister Ye Qingyu, please assist us...”
Ye Qingyu's divine sense swept across, and immediately noticed the changes in the distance. The current Dragon Human Emperor had become a white-haired old man and a dark [Dragonblood Halberd] was in his hands. The Void was filled with the remains of eight strange imperial qi, and most importantly the body of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor was still and lifeless, standing there stiffly...
All around, there were countless dark puppets roaring like a flood.
And a beam of black light was frantically trying to escape, but was entangled by the white Bone Dragon Puppet Bloodworm, unable to get away.
“Suppress!”
Ye Qingyu bellowed, triggering the secret technique of the one hundred eight ancient characters.
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] reappeared.
An invisible majestic pressure burst out from the cauldron, and then strange ripples visible to the naked eye instantly filled the entire space of the Dragon cave, suppressing all the skeleton puppets in place.
At the same time, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged straight towards the dark stream of light imprisoned by the Puppet Bloodworm.
This dark glow was the true force of darkness in the body of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor.
It was the real murderer who murdered Mister Ren Puyang.
“Retreat.”
Ye Qingyu roared, telling the Puppet Bloodworm to retreat from the battle circle.
“Ye Qingyu... you are unexpectedly a person of nothingness, I’m not willing,” the familiar voice of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor sounded. “Why is it you? My plan is ruined... The heavens want me to perish.”
Incomparably frightened, he tried to escape.
“[Life Sword Mantra]!”
Ye Qingyu raised the [Blood Drinker Sword] in a slash, displaying the strongest sword intent.
The sword light was blurred, like the misty shadows of the spring rain.
The black light was directly severed into two segments.
“Ah...” The Great Ancient Dragon Emperor made a bitter roar.
With all his power he desperately burned his origin source, turning into a myriad of silk strands of black fog in an attempt to escape. Previously he had already lost to Ye Qingyu's [Life Sword Mantra], and now that his imperial qi had been restrained and was unable to refine into the true body of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor, his strength was not even one tenth of what it was before. Thus he was naturally no match for Ye Qingyu.
“Want to escape? It's too late!”
Ye Qingyu mobilized the [Cloud Top Cauldron] with a thought.
This time he exerted all his strength to trigger all the purple qi and energy of Quasi-emperor Mushan stored inside. The power of a Quasi-emperor was fully displayed. A dazzling brilliance erupted from the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and formed a strange vortex of power. The mouth of the cauldron was like a black hole, releasing a frightening suction force.
“Ah... no, I...”
The frightened voice of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor resounded.
But it soon came to a halt.
Because all the black qi and black specks were absorbed into the [Cloud Top Cauldron], not even a shred had managed to escape.
“Suppress!”
Ye Qingyu performed several hand seals and directly opened up a space in the [Cloud Top Cauldron], which completely sealed the black qi, so that it was impossible for the dark spirit of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor to escape.
And as the battle came to an end, all the aura of dark forces in the Dragon cave also began to dissipate.
Clang!
The [Dragonblood Halberd] fell to the ground.
The current Dragon Human Emperor was no longer able to stand. He had consumed all the strength in his body. In order to coordinate with his father and the others to refine the imperial qi of the Great Ancient Dragon Emperor, he did not hesitate to activate the dragon seal and ignite his imperial qi and origin source. At this moment he had already grown old and was at his last breath.
“Uncles, father... we have finally succeeded, you... in the nine springs, you can finally rest in peace with a smile.” Tears were streaming down the Dragon Human Emperor’s face.
For today, the Dragon Human Race had sacrificed too much.
Particularly the imperial family of the Dragon Human Race.
