Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 798 - All Perished

Translator: Aran

The last time they fought in the Heaven Wasteland Domain, his doppleganger was surprise attacked and slain by Ye Qingyu\'s [Blood Drinker Sword]. Although it was merely a doppleganger, it was connected to his main body and transmitted information to him, allowing him to know about the weirdness and horror of the [Blood Drinker Sword].

All this time, he had been on guard against the [Blood Drinker Sword], but Ye Qingyu had instead been using the [Dragon Blood Halberd], whose power was unsurpassed yet withstandable. Moreover, Ye Qingyu had not grasped the true techniques of the Dragon Human Race, and thus could not utilize the full power of the halberd. The [Blood Drinker Sword], on the other hand...

Until now, Ao Tianzun still remembered the last message sent by the doppleganger. It said that, after drinking blood, the ordinary-looking large sword\'s power escalated to a shocking degree which defied all logic and measure...

Because he could not comprehend the sword back then, he then went out of his way to research on its mysteries, and vaguely guessed that the sword contained some kind of emperor-level formation which allowed it to consume the power of fresh blood and convert it into offensive power.

At that time, the blood drank by the sword belonged to ordinary experts.

During the battle of Saints on this day, if the [Blood Drinker Sword] sucked in the fresh blood of perished Saints, how frightening would its power be?

When Ao Tianzun saw Ye Qingyu pulling out that heavy and giant sword, he immediately knew that things were bad. While he did have some knowledge about and counters to this sword, the current situation rendered his preparations and counters worthless. After all, a Saint battle was not a situation he could control...

Hoo loo loo!

Whopping amounts of Saint blood gathered on the [Blood Drinker Sword].

After drinking the Saint blood, the giant sword let out a super-high-frequency shockwave which superposed the surrounding air and caused never-ending explosive noises. Dark-red formations circulated around the sword, on which traces of blood emerged all over in no time. This was strange to the extreme. The entire sword seemed to come alive, emanating a heart-palpitating saintly power.

From the surroundings, endless streams of Saint blood continued to flow toward the giant sword.

Even Ye Qingyu himself felt a bout of surprise, for the increase in the sword\'s power way exceeded his initial expectations, becoming as unmanageable as the outbreak of mountain torrents. Moreover, he vaguely felt that something on the sword had been triggered, such that an inconceivable change was happening to the giant sword at this very moment.

Ao Tianzun bawled as he attacked in a frenzy.

He knew that he could not allow the [Blood Drinker Sword] to drink up all of the Saint blood, or otherwise, he would die an ignominious death today. He worked up the Divine Sky Sect\'s [Heavenly Primeval Chaos Qi Breakthrough Technique] to its fullest, while holding in his hand a longsword which was the famous pinnacle Saint weapon called the [Small Heavenly Sword]. In an instant, his battle strength became on par with that of a Saint.

"Feeling desperate?" Ye Qingyu sneered.

He naturally knew Ao Tianzun\'s idea, and so he operated the True Will of the Sky Dragon to transform into a dragon. While holding the [Dragon Blood Halberd] with one claw to hold off Ao Tianzun\'s attacks, his other claw firmly gripped the [Blood Drinker Sword], allowing fragments of flickering blood light, which resembled fluttering butterflies and leaping flames, to gather on it.

More strangely, the sword emitted a blood-colored mist that seemed like a light shield, instantly protecting him within. No matter how crazily Ao Tianzun attacked, Ye Qingyu\'s figure could not be moved, let alone harmed.

"How can this be?" Ao Tianzun\'s soul was scared out of his body.

Ye Qingyu was astounded and pleasantly surprised.

The [Blood Drinker Sword] was on the verge of divinity.

A change like this would make him completely invincible.

The giant sword became so heavy that the dragon claw felt as if it was holding the entire world.

"I can\'t continue to absorb the power of Saint blood..." Ye Qingyu felt that the giant sword was coming back to life and becoming uncontrollable. Focusing all of his power on it, he brandished the sword and struck it toward Ao Tianzun.

The sword vigor gradually pressed down.

Just gradually.

With his power and defense raised to the maximum, Ao Tianzun watched as the sword vigor press down on him, yet he did not feel even the slightest offensive burst of qi throughout its movement. It was as if Ye Qingyu had simply waved his sword across the air.

"What\'s going on?"

He was bewildered.

A short moment later, he suddenly became dazed, and discovered astonishedly that the world in front of him divided into two. A visual angle he had never experienced before appeared, as if the entire world had been ripped open. He was utterly unable to comprehend what was going on in good time.

Across the way, Ye Qingyu was completely stunned.

What he saw was that Ao Tianzun had been neatly split into two right down the middle, without any bloodstains or wounds. It could just as well have been a human portrait which was torn into two pieces. Ao Tianzun\'s entire being, armor, and horizontally-raised sword had all been sundered...

Bam bam!

The two half-figures collapsed.

Ao Tianzun was dead.

Perhaps this successor of the Divine Sky Sect did not understand what was going on, even until his very last moment. After all, even Ye Qingyu himself was not fully sensible of the sword\'s mysteries, which seemed most natural yet deliberately mystifying at the same time. An idea flashed fleetingly in his mind. When he tried to wave the sword once more, he realized that this was no longer possible.

Buzzz.

The [Blood Drinker Sword] vibrated wildly.

As the surrounding battle situation grew in intensity, more wisps of Saint blood were spilled across the sky and continually gathered on the [Blood Drinker Sword], which became a dazzling red color as if it was formed from coagulated blood. Saintly power diffused and dissipated from it, and those injured Saints soon discovered to their astonishment that their blood, now seemingly uncontrollable, was sucked out through their wounds by a strange force and rapidly gathered on the giant sword in Ye Qingyu\'s hand.

Ye Qingyu also noticed this state of affairs.

However, the [Blood Drinker Sword] was becoming less bound to his control.

"What\'s going on?"

With his countenance shifting, Ye Qingyu quickly summoned the [Cloud Top Cauldron] from his body and kept the sword back into the refining space, sealing it in temporarily. This was so as to prevent too much Saint blood from being absorbed, which might lead to injuries to his own side\'s experts and cause misunderstandings.

A splendor flashed.

The [Blood Drinker Sword] disappeared.

The blood in the surrounding Void fell onto the ground like a pattering rain.

After keeping the [Dragon Blood Halberd], Ye Qingyu levitated outside the battlefield and only now heaved a sigh of relief.

During the battle with Ao Tianzun, the [Blood Drinker Sword] underwent a strange change after drinking Saint blood in such an environment. Using a method which even Ye Qingyu had not imagined, it easily settled the contest. Previously, Ao Tianzun had shown little regard for life, sending his doppelgangers to cause countless bloodsheds across the Heaven Wasteland Domain, and thus deserved to die a long time ago. Now that he was dead, there was practically no more burden in Ye Qingyu\'s heart.

So far, he had killed two disciples of the Divine Sky Sect, Lu Li and Ao Tianzun.

After briefly adjusting his inner yuan and stabilizing his breath, he raised his head and only now had sufficient energy to observe the surrounding battle situation.

Almost half a day had passed.

All of the Saints of the three opposing sects who had fought were dead, save for the Saint of the Divine Sky Sect, who was nevertheless in a critical state. His body was covered in blood and he was barely able to hold on, looking like he could not last another thirty minutes. On the Black Demon Pool\'s side, one martial Saint had died, while two had suffered significant injuries.

The condition of the Phoenix Race\'s guardian Saints was relatively better, albeit they had also withdrawn from the battle.

The guardian Saint of the Four Stars Sect finally died at the ferocious and violent hands of the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race, who chopped off his head and cradled it. That a generation of Saints had died at the hands of a later generation could be considered a tragedy and also the price the Four Stars holy girl paid for plotting against the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race while in the 18th district.

In the Void at present, horrifying energy waves arose endlessly. The only remaining match-up was that between the Four Stars holy girl and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, the two female Heaven\'s pridelings of generational beauty.

The latter clearly held an absolute advantage.

After carefully studying the situation, Ye Qingyu felt at ease, knowing that the Four Stars holy girl was bound to lose. However, there was still a little nagging doubt in his heart. Reasonably speaking, the holy girl\'s renown and strength should not be far off those of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, yet the strength she was displaying was considerably weaker than he imagined.

"Is it because she\'s sad about the deaths of her companions around her, and that\'s why she\'s preoccupied and hasn\'t brought out her real strength?" Ye Qingyu conjectured inwardly.

Another thirty minutes passed.

Boom!

With her figure resembling a seven-colored flowing light, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden jabbed her [Phoenix Wing Knife] non-stop at the holy girl. The layer of moonlight ash finally broke open completely, as a seven-colored knife light swept across the holy girl\'s body...

The battle instantly ended.

A splendor flickered.

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden returned to Ye Qingyu\'s side.

Languishing in mid-air, the holy girl\'s body had marks left on it by the knife light, looking as if coloured pencils had drawn on it. With the moonlight brilliance faded, anyone could discern that the body had been cut into pieces. It was just that the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s knife light was way too fast and had not burst out.

The holy girl\'s veil had also been sliced apart.

It turned into flying ash when a gust of wind blew by.

"That\'s..." Ye Qingyu was slightly shocked.

He saw that, beneath the silver veil, the holy girl\'s face was devoid of features, like a whiteboard. Those eyes, which were not covered by the veil, also disappeared mysteriously after the veil was removed. A ball of faint silver splendor shone on the empty white face... which was not a face at all.

"Your kind gift today will be heavily rewarded in the future."

A familiar voice sounded from the faceless body. It was, unmistakably, the holy girl\'s voice, carrying an intense killing intent and hatred, and causing anyone who heard it to feel a chill inside.

As soon as the voice was heard.

The seven-colored knife light burst out.

The holy girl\'s body disintegrated at once.
