Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 1215 - So-called friends

Translator: Aran

Ye Qingyu\'s short life could be called a legend. His martial arts path, to outsiders, seems smooth, the growth of his cultivation base was very fast, and he was said to be favoured by the heavens. It was unknown how many people were envious of him, but in truth, only the person who drinks it knows best whether the water is hot or cold. Only he knows how much wind and rain he had experienced along the way, how many times he had been on the tip of the knife, and how many times he had been swimming at the edge of life and death. It was only after experiencing countless life and death situations that he was able to achieve what he has today.

And the strange and remarkable things he had seen along the way, there were too many to be counted.

The appearance of the Sky Emperor was identical to Blue Sky of the White Deer Academy. The only difference was their age. Ye Qingyu was almost certain that, if Blue Sky was at middle age, he would look like the Sky Emperor. This similarity was just like how the mysterious woman in the Underground Moonlight Immortal Palace of Clear River Domain who vanished was similar to the mother in Ye Qingyu\'s memory.

To explain this with the earth civilization, there are no two identical leaves in the world, and the reason the appearance of all living things is similar is because of a genetic reason. This explains why most descendants in the world will look like their father. However, this similarity exists only in one aspect of the facial features, and not all.

Ye Qingyu\'s intuition told him that there must be a connection between the Sky Emperor and Blue Sky.

And it must be an extraordinary connection.

But exactly what kind of connection, he was temporarily unable to grasp.

“Where did you get this cauldron?” The eyes of Sky Emperor’s shadow were flickering with bewilderment and uncertainty. He seemed to have thought of something, but then slightly shook his head. It was clear that the pill cauldron in front had a great difference to the object he suspected it to be.

Ye Qingyu clasped the [Blood Drinker Sword] with his right hand, the pill cauldron in his left, answering honestly, “The Reincarnation Hall of the Chaos Demon Emperor once appeared in the Vast Thousand Domains. There were countless treasures and this pill cauldron was found in the [Tusita Palace] of the Reincarnation Hall.”

The reason why Ye Qingyu spoke so clearly was to test what kind of reaction this Sky Emperor would have. He hoped to obtain some clues related to Blue Sky from his reaction.

“The Reincarnation Hall of the Chaos Demon Emperor? Impossible, the Chaos Demon Emperor is from the end of the Fiendgod Age, and only just barely became Emperor, how can he possess this kind of treasure? If he had such a treasure, how would he need to reincarnate?” The Sky Emperor shook his head slightly, “Not to mention how could the [Tusita Palace] be in the reincarnation hall. Even if all the possessions of the Chaos Demon Emperor are added up, it is not comparable to one [Tusita Palace]. Since you won\'t tell the truth, it doesn\'t matter. After I capture you, I can search your memory to know everything.”

Before his voice faded, with a flash, he had already turned into a wisp of blue brilliance, flashing over to the other side.

In the distant chaos fog, a huge corpse was floating in the starry sky. It was the body of the original form of Sovereign Skyreach, the six-winged golden Hou. The yuan essence in his body was flowing, and his blood and qi were as vast as an ocean, but his vitality and consciousness had been destroyed. The wisp of blue light that Sky Emperor transformed into penetrated into the body, thereby bringing the body of Sovereign Skyreach ‘back to life’.

Using a corpse to resurrect a soul?

Ye Qingyu increased his vigilance.

In truth, Ye Qingyu had almost asked what the connection between the Sky Emperor and a young man called Blue Sky in White Deer Academy who looks exactly like the Sky Emperor. But deep inside there was a voice that prevented Ye Qingyu to do so. His intuition told him that this question, if asked, would bring serious consequences.

Rumble!

The originally golden six-winged Hou corpse began to change. A layer of icy-cold blue brilliance flowed out from the inside of the corpse, dying the huge Emperor corpse a blue colour. Even his eyes were piercing-cold and glowing blue, while the broken light wings were slowing growing back.

An aura that was completely different from Sovereign Skyreach before he died pervaded the starry sky.

The vast blue body of water that swept across made Ye Qingyu feel a sense of crisis, like a little boat in a vast ocean.

A battle broke out in an instant.

Sky Emperor’s battle style was incredibly barbarous. Exactly the same as when he possessed the ghost-faced grey-copper ball, he directly smashed over. The tremendous six-winged golden Hou body seemed to have been refined, producing metallic clatter when the [Blood Drinker Sword] struck, sparks sputtering in all directions, and the blue feathers split apart. However, its body was completely undamaged. On the contrary, Ye Qingyu was constantly reeling back from the impact.

There was a sound of explosion in the starry battlefield all of a sudden.

Berserk violent force swept across all six directions. This battle was more terrifying than the previous battle among the three great Emperors. It was unknown how many of the barren planets on the edge of the battlefield were shattered to fine powder from the aftermath. If this was not the boundless space, then even the universe would most likely have been destroyed.

The [Cloud Top Cauldron] was constantly changing positions, guarding Song Xiaojun and the ancient True Phoenix. It had already retreated to the edge of the battlefield. Ever since the training in the Immortal Domain, where the [Cloud Top Cauldron] underwent its transformation, it had gradually developed its individual consciousness. At this moment, it seemed to have been awakened by this vicious battle and began to take the initiative to protect.

Time passed by.

It was unknown how long had passed.

But for Song Xiaojun, in such an environment, every second felt as long as a century. It was an utter torture.

This high and mighty Emperor of Darkness, at this time, was no different to an ordinary girl worried about her boyfriend. It was unknown when her hands were already twisted together, and her beautiful bright eyes filled with worries.

She stared intently at the battlefield in the distance. Although the view was not clear, she occasionally captured fragments of Ye Qingyu on the battlefield.

She had forgotten about herself, forgotten about everything and had completely lowered her guard. It was when the flame hand of a Phoenix clutched her neck that she reacted with incomparable astonishment.

“You...” Song Xiaojun froze, “How did you break the seal?”

She had forgotten about the threat around her.

After Song Xiaojun asked this, she realized that the ancient Phoenix was controlled by someone and had lost her own willpower. There was only violent anger in her and there was no use in asking anything.

What surprised her, however, was that a clear and melodious voice, which resembled cold ice in deep winter hitting each other, had answered her question.

“The surging Emperor power, you only care about your lover and did not realize it.” This voice was obviously a female voice. Anyone who hears this voice, no matter how cold it was, their mind would emerge with the image of a beautiful and haughty woman of the Ninth Heaven. “I am only one step away from the Emperor realm, if there is such a golden opportunity, how would I miss it.”

Song Xiaojun was silent.

She realized that behind her must be the beautiful peerless Celestial Phoenix Maiden. She had already, during the devastating Emperor battle, broken the shackles and touched the real Emperor realm. Therefore, she was able to break the seal that Ye Qingyu had set up.

“Are you going to kill me?”

Song Xiaojun suddenly calmed down.

It was as if she had changed back from the little girl who was worried and anxious about her boyfriend into the high and mighty Emperor of Darkness who strategizes splendid plans to win victories in battles a thousand kilometers away. Her tone of voice was calm and indifferent as if the one facing death wasn’t her.

The fire of the ancient True Phoenix had begun to invade her body, sealing the yuan qi of darkness in her body and depriving her of any possibility of counterattacking.

“What do you think? I was originally here to kill you. That has always been the mission of my clan. It has always been this.” The voice of the Celestial Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s was devoid of emotions. For her, it was just stating an immutable fact.

The mission of the Phoenix Race was to monitor and eradicate darkness.

Song Xiaojun took on a wry smile.

She knew about the truth between the Phoenix Race and the Unmoving City of Darkness, but it wouldn’t have any significance to say that now. In its long history, the Unmoving City of Darkness had attempted to explain to the Phoenix Race, but any efforts had no effect. She also did not think that, in such a situation, she could persuade the most remarkable, intelligent and determined celestial maiden of the Phoenix Race in thousands of years.

Taking a deep breath, Song Xiaojun asked, “So you have now regained your consciousness? You are no longer controlled?”

The Celestial Celestial Phoenix Maiden did not respond.

Song Xiaojun couldn’t see her expression. She also did not know what the Celestial Phoenix Maiden was doing, and just felt that the flame palm around her neck had suddenly tightened, almost making her unable to breathe.

After ten seconds.

Song Xiaojun didn\'t wait for an answer, but had guessed the result she wanted.

“I heard from Brother Qingyu, you’re his friend, aren\'t you?” Song Xiaojun spoke again.

There was a grim laugh from behind, “Yes, once friends, but so what, just because of a so-called friend that I have not seen for such a long period of time and had become irrelevant, I have to spare the enemy of the Phoenix Race? You have also been sitting high above on the throne, you have also controlled the dark citizens, you should know that, in the face of the real right and wrong, so-called friends are nothing, let alone a friend\'s... lover!”

The last word was said with a little hesitation.

“In your mind a so-called friend is someone you can give up at any time?” In Song Xiaojun’s tone of voice was a hint of indignation.

“Oh, why, are you afraid of death?” The ridicule in the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s voice was clearer than before. Her voice also was increasingly colder and indifferent, a soul-chilling coldness. “The high and mighty Emperor of Darkness, in the face of the threat of death, will also bow. Haha, if Ye Qingyu knows what you did now, I wonder how he would feel?”

Song Xiaojun did not have the slightest desire to retort the mockery and contempt, but calmly said, “If you really are a friend of Brother Qingyu, or even had once thought of him as a friend, then I implore you to not kill me now, is that okay?” ——
