Chapter 1474: Great Emperor’s Disciple
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Immortal arts were created during the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether Era by a human Great Emperor who combined ancient spells.
During that period, which was a critical moment in the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether’s conquest of all races, the spread of immortal arts among the allies of the human race played a significant role. These races made great contributions to the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether’s unification of Wanggu.
However, the price was extremely high.
Those who used immortal arts suffered varying degrees of side effects according to the level of the immortal art.
In light cases, their vitality would be depleted; for the severe, it shattered their foundation.
Therefore, after Wanggu was unified, the immortal arts were bound in the Immortal Art Pavilions and sealed as forbidden arts.
However, with the arrival of the fragmented-face and the departure of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether and the emperors of the various races at that time, the immortal arts were also taken away by the various races and circulated in their respective holy lands.
However, those who had the qualifications to learn them were extremely rare.
This was especially so for some immortal arts that emphasized on single lineage. Often, after the next generation mastered them, the previous generation would suddenly die. These arts were extremely vicious.
The Six Thieves Delusions that Yue Dong cast was one of these types!
The instant she activated the immortal art and the seven-colored light on her body transformed into a sea of light that shone in all directions, Xu Qing and Erniu, who were bombarding the Great Emperor’s barrier, felt their minds stir.
This disturbance was entirely triggered by external forces, causing ripples in their thoughts and spreading throughout their bodies.
Irresistible, unstoppable!
Yue Dong looked up, gazing at Xu Qing and Erniu. At the moment when their heartstrings were stirred, she raised her jade-like hand and first pointed toward… Xu Qing!
“Strip the Six Desires and separate the seven emotions!”
Clearly, in her opinion, the pressure Xu Qing gave her was the most fatal.
Almost at the instant her finger landed, the seven-colored sea of light that erupted from her body rushed out of the Great Emperor’s array formation, changing the color of the sky and spreading to the ice plains.
This caused the entire world to be dyed with multiple colors.
Xu Qing, who was covered in light, instantly had colorful threads appear on his body. These threads were illusory and represented his seven emotions and six desires.
At that moment, it was as though they were being forcefully extracted. The threads rapidly spread out from his body and gathered together, wanting to form Yue Dong’s face.
However… although Xu Qing’s emotions and his heartstrings were in turmoil, his expression became somewhat strange.
As the seven emotions and six desires were continuously extracted, his aura became stronger and stronger!
Finally, when the threads of emotions and desires on his body were all extracted, the strangeness on his face disappeared.
His entire person became extremely cold and his aura was even more soul-stirring, causing the sky to change color and inexplicable rumbling sounds to ring out from the void in all directions.
It was as though not only was Yue Dong’s immortal art ineffective, but it even augmented Xu Qing!
In reality, the immortal art wasn’t useless.
It indeed had an effect on Xu Qing.
It peeled off Xu Qing’s six desires and separated his seven emotions.
However, these were the aspects of human nature!
Xu Qing’s uniqueness caused the divinity to appear on his body after his human nature was stripped away.
“Interesting.”
Xu Qing calmly spoke.
He had experienced such a thing several times, so he didn’t feel any discomfort because of the temporary loss of human nature.
Hence, he allowed Yue Dong to strip them away.
This was because the moment divinity took over, Xu Qing would be at his strongest!
At that moment, as human nature left and divinity spread, Xu Qing, who was standing there, emitted absolute rationality and absolute coldness.
His aura seemed to have fused with the coldness of the entire ice plain.
At this moment, in Xu Qing’s eyes, be it life or all things, everything was pale and unimportant.
The shadow on the ground trembled slightly. What it was most afraid of was Xu Qing in such a state.
Even the Holy Heavenly Vine felt nervous.
Xu Qing, who was dominated by divinity, was extremely terrifying.
He calmly glanced at Yue Dong, who was protected by the Great Emperor’s array formation. He then pointed at the sky.
At the next instant, the sky rumbled.
A vast pagoda suddenly appeared in the sky.
It was Xu Qing’s Holy Heaven Pagoda.
As soon as this pagoda appeared, it moved toward the ground extremely fast and smashed into the Great Emperor’s protective array.
The world rumbled and a deafening sound soared into the sky.
The icy ground shattered layer by layer and rolled in all directions.
Xu Qing took a step forward. As he transformed into the sun and burned, the divine authority of misfortune, sound, and Purple Moon erupted.
After gathering together, they landed on the array formation.
There was also the terrifying power of the divine source that swept out like a tsunami.
The most terrifying thing was that after Xu Qing displayed everything, he actually used his body as a weapon and directly collided with the array formation.
Immediately, the array formation trembled intensely and Yue Dong’s expression changed drastically.
She stared at Xu Qing as her heart churned.
She didn’t expect such an outcome!
At the end of the day, her understanding of Xu Qing was still not enough!
Seeing that under her immortal art, the aura on Xu Qing’s body became increasingly cold and there were no emotions in the way he looked at her at all, and his attacks were even more soul-stirring, the trembling in Yue Dong’s heart became even more intense.
At the same time, mocking laughter rang out from Erniu.
“My junior brother cultivates both immortality and divinity. Do you think you’re dying too slowly that you actually stripped away his humanity? Now, his divinity is in control…”
“When Little Qing is in this state, I’m telling you, even I have to avoid him.”
Erniu clicked his tongue.
Yue Dong’s expression was gloomy as she turned to look at Erniu.
Immediately, the seven-colored light enveloped Erniu.
Erniu wasn’t worried but was happy instead.
“Come, come, come, let me try too. Let’s see if your immortal art can strip away my seven emotions and six desires. If you can really do it, I have to thank you properly.”
“I’ve been alive for so many lifetimes but I’ve never succeeded.”
Erniu’s face was filled with anticipation. At the next instant, under the envelopment of the seven-colored light and the eruption of the immortal art, his seven emotions and six desires churned.
They were being separated and stripped one by one.
When everything was stripped away, it would transform into a curse that would imprint itself on his body, forming threads that fluctuated with emotions and forming Yue Dong’s face.
However, the scene that happened to Erniu at this moment was different from Xu Qing’s.
Xu Qing’s seven emotions and six desires threads were quickly extracted.
But as for Erniu…
His seven emotions and six desires seemed to have no end. No matter how Yue Dong circulated her immortal art, she couldn’t completely extract them in a short period.
This was especially so for his greed… Although his other desires looked like they were about to be extracted completely, this greed was like a bottomless pit that was endless!
Yue Dong’s expression changed again.
Just Xu Qing alone was already troublesome for her. Now, she realized Erniu was even more of a monster.
She had never seen a cultivator with such intense greed. She couldn’t extract them all even if she used all her strength.
There were too many.
“You’re a bit slow. This feels like scratching an itch, but with very little force, making me feel neither here nor there.”
Erniu was dissatisfied.
“I’ll help you.”
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and raised his right hand to slap his chest fiercely. His eyes instantly revealed madness. That was his expression when he saw treasures.
In order to stimulate himself more realistically, Erniu even took out Feng Lintao’s soul and stared fixedly at it. After imagining the other party’s treasure, his greed instantly soared.
Amidst the rumbling, it gushed out like a volcano erupting.
However… this greed was too intense and actually exceeded Yue Dong’s extraction power, causing Yue Dong’s body to tremble and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her immortal art actually disintegrated.
The backlash also followed.
Because Lan Yao had withstood the karma, she spat out a mouthful of blood and her body instantly withered. While she was on the verge of death, Xu Qing’s attack also erupted with sharpness.
The Holy Heaven Pagoda was extraordinary to begin with. When it smashed down, it caused the Great Emperor’s array formation to rumble. Coupled with Xu Qing’s divine authorities, divine source, and physical attacks, the array formation continued to corrode. After several collisions…
The sound of the Great Emperor’s array formation shattering finally rang out!
This Great Emperor array formation was actually incomplete. Back then, when Yue Dong tried to seal Feng Lintao, some of its energy had been used up. Now, as she faced the backlash and under Xu Qing’s bombardment… it looked like it wouldn’t be long before it shattered into pieces.
Yue Dong’s hair was disheveled and viciousness appeared in her eyes. She performed a series of hand seals with both hands and pushed out, letting out a heart-rending cry.
“Explode!”
She actually took the opportunity before the array formation completely shattered to activate it, causing it to self-destruct in exchange for an overwhelming might.
At the next instant, the Great Emperor’s array formation emitted a loud rumbling sound as it shattered on its own, sweeping in all directions with unstoppable force.
Wind howled violently, glaciers collapsed, and fish scale-like ripples spread in the sky.
Taking advantage of this chance, Yue Dong grabbed Lan Yao and fled rapidly into the distance. She even took out a jade token, crushed it, and threw it into the air.
She originally didn’t want to use this jade token.
However, she had no choice but to use it now.
The instant this jade token shattered, Xu Qing and Erniu’s figures had already rushed out of the range of the Great Emperor’s array formation’s self-destruction and moved toward Yue Dong.
Xu Qing was like a god. Every step he took caused the color of the world to change. The pressure was astonishing and there was a holy feeling coming from his body.
His face was expressionless and his eyes were cold.
Erniu beside him was the complete opposite of him.
The light formed by endless greed spread out through the seven colors, dyeing the surroundings black.
In this black light, Erniu was like a demon, his hair swaying.
As he laughed sinisterly, he moved step by step.
At this moment, it was as though the god and devil were together!
Seeing this scene, Yue Dong’s breathing became hurried. Suddenly, she screamed in a heart-rending voice toward the fragmented jade token.
“Lu Lingzi, why aren’t you appearing yet!”
Almost at the instant Yue Dong spoke, the jade token fragments she had thrown out earlier instantly shone with silver light and teleportation fluctuations erupted.
It formed a huge vortex. As it rumbled, a tall figure walked over, emitting a shocking aura.
With just a step, he crossed the void and walked out of the array formation, landing beside Yue Dong.
This person was a youth. He carried nine great worlds on his body. Every one of them was filled with dense vitality that gathered on his body, forming the cultivation fluctuations of the peak of the Nine Worlds Soul Accumulation.
His cultivation base affected the sky and earth as though this place had become his world.
The moment he appeared, the first person he looked at wasn’t Yue Dong but the unconscious Lan Yao.
A hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes. After that, he turned his head. When he looked at Xu Qing and Erniu, the gentleness was replaced by sharpness!
He calmly spoke.
“Are the two of you the ones who injured my wife?”
