Chapter 1215 - 1106: The Wrath of the Thunder Emperor
“Symbol of Darkness?”
“This is the Water Emperor’s Talisman of the Waterway Imperial Court… Even within the Imperial Court, there are only three, how could there be a mistake?”
Shui Qingling couldn’t believe it!
But at this moment, she suddenly felt something. Looking down, she saw that within this crystal clear talisman, resembling jade marrow, was actually… a wisp of black mist slowly rising!
And her hand was instantly rotting away!
“This… No!”
Her complexion drastically changed, and she cried out in alarm, hastily letting go. The Jade Talisman fell to the ground as she staggered back continuously.
“How could this happen…”
“This is the Water Emperor’s Talisman, how could it possibly nurture black fog?!”
In Shui Qingling’s eyes, shock and confusion were written all over!
Dugu Yuqing said indifferently:
“Clearly… to the Waterway Imperial Court, you are just a pawn; the real Water Emperor’s Talisman should be on his body.”
He pointed towards Shui Jing!
Hearing this, Shui Qingling looked towards Shui Jing.
But Shui Jing was completely unable to speak, panicking to the extreme in his heart.
Dugu Yuqing waved his hand, releasing his Path-Scenic Land. Countless giant stars shined in his Land of Nothingness, and instantly, Shui Jing’s Path-Scenic Land was forced to manifest on its own!
Seeing this scene, Shui Qingling was even more shocked. What kind of Path-Scenic Land was this?
It was actually nurturing stars?
…What Realm could possess such a phenomenon?
But soon, she came to her senses, Dugu Yuqing’s Path-Scenic Land was clearly… the Xi Rang Realm?
Could this be the first small step of Breath Soil… Flying Sand?
But this wasn’t Flying Sand at all, it was more like “Flying Stars”!
This was the ultimate Repression of a Path-Scenic Land, and even she felt that if Dugu Yuqing targeted her, she would have no power to fight back!
As Shui Jing’s Path-Scenic Land was repressed and autonomously revealed, she immediately sensed something. Looking up, she saw that aside from a heap of “birds diving into water,” within his Path-Scenic Land, there was actually a beam of emerald light, incredibly sacred.
“That… Water Emperor’s Talisman?!”
Shui Qingling immediately recognized it; in Shui Jing’s Path-Scenic Land was the real Water Emperor’s Talisman.
“I… I’m just a pawn…”
At this moment, Shui Qingling understood everything. A nameless sorrow and coldness flooded her heart.
She, as the Saintess, took on this mission without hesitation, yet she was treated as a mere chess piece by the Imperial Court…
What she was given was not the true Water Emperor’s Talisman…
And she, all along the way, had even thought about allowing Shui Jing to earn more merits, and up until the last moment, she was thinking of taking Shui Jing with her to escape!
Cold-hearted; this moment, all she felt was a profound chill, abandoned and betrayed…
…
Meanwhile, Dugu Yuqing reached out his hand and directly invaded Shui Jing’s Path-Scenic Land, retrieving the Jade Talisman inside.
“Let’s go.”
Dugu Yuqing spoke:
“The Thunder Emperor has arrived.”
Right then, he activated the Water Emperor’s Talisman.
Immediately, a hazy waterway light enveloped him and Fan Paiming, Fan Yaoyao, and even Shui Qingling!
Dugu Yuqing was ready to take her with him, after all, the clue to Long Zixuan lay in You Continent, and she was the Saintess of the Waterway Imperial Court.
“This item… seems to connect with the darkness.”
Before leaving, Dugu Yuqing glanced again at the Symbol of Darkness. He had personally faced it in both the Grey Mist Sea Forbidden Ancient Path and the Hanque Mountain Range and could thus recognize its dark essence.
“Does the Waterway Imperial Court intend to invite darkness to descend and confront the Thunder Emperor? Although dog-eat-dog fights are amusing, now is not the time to let darkness descend…”
He pondered for a moment, and then abruptly, a streak of Sword Qi slashed out!
Boom!
The dark Jade Talisman directly exploded!
The terrifying black fog contained within appeared and began to spread.
–This black fog, obtained by the Waterway Imperial Court from the relics of the Forebears and refined and repressed by them, although not completely destroyed, no longer possessed the terrifying power of its source.
Otherwise, one wisp of black fog could battle an existence on the level of The End of Myriad Paths; the emperors of the world dare not touch it.
Now, with the array patterns on the dark Jade Talisman utterly ruined, and the black fog released, the talisman could no longer summon darkness to descend.
Moreover, although this black fog was not as fearsome as the original source, it would erode the entirety of Thunder Tao Mountain… and just perfect for buying them time!
“What kind of Sword Qi is this…”
But Shui Qingling was shocked in her beautiful eyes.
She was very clear that the Symbol of Darkness… was a lure used by the Forebears during the Era of the Lifting Fire to hunt darkness, capable of attracting darkness to descend.
Such runes were of a very high level and absolutely indestructible unless a Forebear took action!
But now…
Her train of thought was promptly interrupted by the misty water fog, the Emperor’s Aura enveloped them, and then… their figures…
Disappeared from the spot!
“Hehe…”
Shui Jing, however, lay on the ground. At this moment, he looked in the direction where Dugu Yuqing and Shui Qingling had vanished, straining with all his might, wanting to shout…
Take me with you…
No…
I don’t want to stay behind!
I don’t want to die!
I am the one who should benefit from all this, I don’t want to be the scapegoat!
He was terrified to the extreme, but his entire body was completely numb, only capable of letting out hoarse gasping sounds.
Moreover, the dark fog released from the Symbol of Darkness… began to slowly disperse.
“Hmm… I wasn’t eroded?”
“I actually wasn’t eroded by the dark fog?”
Immediately after, his surprise turned to immense joy.
Right… This must be because I licked some Sacred Origin Stain!
Moreover, there is still Sacred Origin within my Path-Scenic Land!
“Stay calm… As long as I can move, I can still leave…”
He was overwhelmingly excited.
But, at this moment.
He suddenly heard a kind of footsteps.
Very light, so faint as to be almost imperceptible, approaching from the obscure.
Very heavy, each step as if Lei Ting was silently releasing, shockingly terrifying.
Then, he saw a man appear at the edge of the Thunder Pond!
With each step he took, a Thunder Path Lotus blossomed; behind him was a sky full of thunder shadows, gigantic Thunderbirds soaring, as if he stood amidst the Sea of Thunder.
Merely from directly gazing at this man, Shui Jing’s eyes suddenly bled, he was blinded!
“No… Thunder Emperor… I’ve seen the Thunder Emperor… The Thunder Emperor has come…”
His heart was wailing!
Without the permission of a Great Emperor, one cannot directly gaze at them.
And the Thunder Emperor, his expression was now extremely somber and cold!
He looked at everything before him, subconsciously clenching his fists!
The elemental earth has been hollowed out…
Not a single drop of elemental water left…
The elemental wood not even sparing saplings, all rooted out…
The elemental fire lava, all dried up…
Even the steps forged from elemental metal have been completely dismantled!
His heart was bleeding, the corners of his mouth twitching!
What a humiliation this was, a Great Emperor, today my own Path to Enlightenment mountain… emptied by someone?!
Moreover, what pained him the most was still to come…
If the elemental earth is gone, it can be accumulated again.
If the elemental water is gone, it can be recreated.
If the elemental wood is gone, it can regrow.
But within the Thunder Pond before his eyes…
It was also empty!
His brethren and sisters, as well as the Mother of the Thunder Path…
His eyes flashed with an intense light, and in an instant, Shui Jing’s Path-Scenic Land was nearly on the verge of collapse, trembling as it manifested.
The Thunder Emperor looked and within it… were many organs…
That was…
That of the Ancestral Thunderbird!
“Ah–“
At this moment, the Thunder Emperor cried out in pain to heaven, tears sliding down his eyes, engulfed in immense grief and rage!
His mother…
Had someone killed her?
Even her organs were dissected…
“Waterway Imperial Court… Water Emperor!”
At this moment, he burst forth with unparalleled hatred and murderous intent, declaring:
“You send this brat Shui Jing to dig out my Five Elements’ sources, and that’s tolerable, but to go so far as to kill my mother and eat her flesh… I, the Emperor, shall not share the sky with you!”
“Lei Ting today declares war on the Waterway Imperial Court!”
With his thunderous fury, Thunder Earth resounded mightily.
Even the entire Kaiyuan Continent felt the rumblings, many people experienced palpitations!
When a Great Emperor is enraged, the world trembles!
…
“What…”
At this moment, Shui Deheng and others, who had just left Thunder Emperor City after using the Emperor’s Talisman to extract the Thunder Earth, heard the roar that spread throughout the heavens!
Shui Deheng was incredulous, completely taken aback.
Shui Jing dug out Thunder Emperor’s Five Elements’ sources, and even… killed and consumed the flesh of the Thunder Emperor’s mother??
This… Exactly what kind of monstrous calamity did Shui Jing bring about?!
He was shocked!
…
Goodnight.
The two chapters yesterday were duplicates, not because I wanted to play an April Fool’s joke on everyone.
It was because the first post got blocked, and what’s key is that since Midu and Yuewen are merging backends recently, chapters can only be updated but not modified, so I could only repost the same chapter again.
As a result, when I checked today, the blocked one was released too, resulting in the situation where there were two identical chapters…
It’s quite frustrating.
