Immortal God Emperor Imperial God Emperor 1273 - Panic

Ye Qingyu was surprised that such powerful divine authority had suddenly exploded from the World Tree; when he imbued his [Life Sword] with the power of life from the World Tree, his sword will seemed even more powerful than what was described in the [War G.o.d Sword Mantras]. The moment he slashed out, the power of life instantly quelled the Sky Emperor's ghostly death qi.

People couldn't help but stare at the Sky Emperor's rage and resentfulness.

This ancient and ambitious man was about to perish.

Ye Qingyu would definitely not show him any mercy.

Even if he didn't care about the grudges and enmity between the Sky Emperor and the Divine Light Emperor, he would not spare him because of the very fact that the Sky Emperor had controlled the Invaders and hordes of beasts to ma.s.sacre countless Guardians, Sinners, Dark Ones, then went on to destroy Deer City, the White Deer Academy, as well as having slaughtered countless citizens of the Heaven Wasteland Domain.

He fully exerted the power of life within his body and was about to put an end to the battle.

The Sky Emperor's dark blue soul constantly grew smaller bit by bit and let out resentful wails.

He had lived for so many years, experienced countless changes in eras, mastered countless divine and mysterious techniques that were lost to this world; he was in possession of countless rare and precious treasures, but he was still unable to save himself in the face of such a mighty force.

In the blink of an eye, the Sky Emperor's soul was extremely frail and feeble.

Suddenly, something happened just before the Sky Emperor was about to be felled by Ye Qingyu's sword.

"Alright, that is enough," a wizened voice rang out from a far distance.

A blurry figure appeared from the distance of the time and s.p.a.ce torrent, exuding a frightening energy. This energy was so powerful that it even struck fear into Ye Qingyu. It was something even more powerful than Emperor qi, and it seemed more like an Immortal, or Immortal power, as though an ancient king over all creatures in this world had just emerged from an ancient and mythical era.

This blurry figure slowly raised his hand and an indescribable authoritative force and power of laws circulated, forming a kind of energy that was not of this generation. It went against the current of the torrent of time and s.p.a.ce and a vast energy from this backflow gathered toward it, then it transformed into a gigantic palm that only had three fingers. This palm seemed to travel through countless years and made to grab at the Sky Emperor.

A huge and uncontrollable force crushed down on Ye Qingyu.

This three-fingered gigantic palm was clearly attacking him in an attempt to save the Sky Emperor and relieved the pressure on the Sky Emperor by attacking Ye Qingyu. However, Ye Qingyu clearly sensed a strong killing intent from this force. This mysterious person did not mind getting rid of him as he saved the Sky Emperor.

"Where have I seen this figure before?" Ye Qingyu thought quickly to himself even as he showed no hesitation in countering with an attack of his own.

"One Slash from the [Life Sword]!"

Ye Qingyu could instantly unleash dozens of sword will rays, each with the power to kill the Sky Emperor since the World Tree was supplying him with an endless amount of energy. The sword radiance was even more powerful than the three-fingered gigantic palm.

Rumble! Rumble!

Destructive chaotic energy currents exploded from the torrent of time and s.p.a.ce.

He sensed a strong feedback force surging toward him and this force sent him flying like a kite that had its strings cut. The webbing between his thumb and index finger went numb and he almost lost his grip on the [Blood Drinker Sword]. The impact within his body was even greater and the World Tree trembled violently in his dantian world, while hundreds of leaves were shaken off its branches.

"How could he be so powerful?" Ye Qingyu gasped and finally managed to steady himself after flying for a distance of several thousand kilometers.

The light of the void shot out from his eyes and after he activated his [Eyes of the Void], he finally relaxed when he saw that the three-fingered gigantic palm and been slashed into pieces in the distance. The terrifying torrent of time and s.p.a.ce stirred turbulently and let out gurgling sounds that sounded like the bubbling waters of death. It was a long time before the turbulence subsided.

The blurry figure also vanished.

"Is he gone?" he wondered doubtfully.

He had noticed that this blurry figure seemed to be constrained by some kind of force and lacked the power to actually descend upon this part of s.p.a.ce. However, the power that this figure managed to unleash across such a vast time and s.p.a.ce was still incredibly mighty and frightening. Who exactly was he?

He wasn't surprised to find that the Sky Emperor had vanished as well.

He had escaped!

The Sky Emperor would have been killed if it hadn't been for that blurry figure who appeared at the very last moment.

Ye Qingyu still felt slightly regretful, but he wasn't disappointed nor enraged.

The Sky Emperor's life was hanging by a thin thread and his strength had weakened significantly. Even if he escaped, it would take a long time before he would be able to recover. He would not be able to stir up much trouble within a short period of time and Ye Qingyu was also confident that if they were to meet in battle again in the future, the Sky Emperor would definitely not be his match.

He took a deep breath, then recalled the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and the [Blood Drinker Sword].

His figure flashed as he headed toward the Light Palace.

Snow Capital, Heaven Wasteland Domain.

An eerie silence fell upon the entire Snow Capital.

Everyone at the imperial city had seen the energy ripples from the fierce battle within Light City and the majestic scene that seemed like a fiendG.o.d had descended when Empress Shui Xiu had made her appearance. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness an Empress. It was even more impossible to hide the fact that the Light Palace had been dragged into a huge whirlpool by a huge purple hand, but after the initial panic, the palace released news that this had happened because Deputy Spokesperson Ye Qingyu had returned and exerted a divine technique.

The citizens of the imperial city relaxed.

Deputy Spokesperson Ye Qingyu was the guardian of the Heaven Wasteland Domain.

Was he truly back?

Only a handful of higher-ups from the imperial city knew how terrible the damage had been. Light City was reduced to nothing more than a pile of rubble. All the experts who were guarding the Light Palace had vanished, including the Empress, Lin Zheng, and other influential figures. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that all the highly influential figures who had the power to preside over matters within the imperial city had vanished together.

The higher-ups who were loyal to the imperial family acted in accordance with the 'emergency proposal' that Lin Zheng and the others had laid out. They immediately tried to calm the citizens of the Heaven Wasteland Domain in order to tamp down any confusion or panic within the city, and quickly gathered to formulate a strategy. However, no matter how they thought about it, if the powerful experts of Light City were defeated by this powerful enemy, how were they going to stand up against the enemy?

Then, the officials who were usually judgemental about the Light Palace being too close to the imperial family were forced to admit that without their power watching over them, the Heaven Wasteland Empire would be weakened. With the exception of having the authority to govern the empire, they were no different from ordinary men if they were to face off against a powerful enemy.

They had to contact Deputy Spokesperson Ye Qingyu at once.

He would be the only one who had the power to turn the situation around and deliver them from danger.

This was the only idea these officials could come up with after their discussion.

They would first have to find a way to break open the seal that closed off the Heaven Wasteland Domain and would have to do so at all costs in order to attempt to contact Ye Qingyu.

While they were trying to figure out how to break the seal that closed off their domain, there was a sudden burst of light in the sky above Snow Capital. The dark clouds and dark colors of the firmament vanished, then the Light Palace seemed like a bright sun that drove away the clouds as it appeared and slowly descended down onto the imperial city.

"Deputy Spokesperson Ye Qingyu must have returned."

"Greetings, Deputy Spokesperson Ye Qingyu!"

Excited cheers rose all over Snow Capital like a tsunami.

Ye Qingyu's name resounded throughout the current age and everyone within the Heaven Wasteland Domain treated him like a G.o.d. Thus, when they saw this scene, they quickly fell onto their knees and cheered loudly. It didn't matter what day of the year it was but as long as it was related to Ye Qingyu, it was like a day of celebration to these countless officials and citizens of the Heaven Wasteland Domain.

The senior officials of the empire were overjoyed and immediately rushed over to Light City as fast as they could.

If the Light Palace had returned, did that mean that the enemy had been vanquished? The Empress, Lin Zheng, and the others should have returned too. Did they return safely?

The Light Palace slowly descended on the sky above the fiery springs within Light City.

The stone stairs automatically descended one at a time.

The gates to the temple opened and a silver light splashed outward.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the gates that were wide open.

Then, they saw a handsome man with long, black hair, and robes that were as white as jade slowly walk out of the gates.

"This isn't the Empress, is it?"

The senior officials of the empire who knelt at the fire tree woods were slightly taken aback for a moment, but they quickly realized that this handsome man was none other than the G.o.d of the empire, Lord Ye Qingyu.

They all became extremely excited.

Then, they saw that their gorgeous and authoritative Empress had also walked out of the Light Palace along with Ye Qingyu. Lin Zheng, Yu Feiyan, w.a.n.g Li, and the other authoritative figures of the empire slowly emerged after Ye Qingyu and the Empress. Everyone was accounted for and they weren't injured either; they had returned home safely.

The senior officials immediately realized that Deputy Spokesperson Ye Qingyu must have managed to rush back to the Heaven Wasteland Domain in time, turned the situation around, and rescued everyone—their speculations were correct, but the entire process had been far more dangerous and riskier than they could ever imagine.

"Long live the Empress and Lord Ye Qingyu!" the senior officials cried out as they finally relaxed.

These officials thought that it would have been a disaster if the empire were to descend into chaos—only ambitious men would wish to take advantage of chaos to crown themselves as kings and not everyone harbored such thoughts. This was also proof that most people yearned for peace and harmony.

These senior officials left after they delivered their greetings.

They usually weren't allowed to enter the Light Palace in times of peace.

Empress Yu Xiaoxing soon led Lin Zheng and the others away as well.

Yu Xiaoxing was extremely excited to have been reunited with Ye Qingyu after so many years and wanted to constantly spend time by his side, but she knew that he would need to rest and recuperate after such an intense battle to heal the internal injuries that he had sustained. She would also need to return to the imperial city to resume her governance of the empire and settle the panic that had been caused by the recent incidents.

Soon, silence returned to Light City.

Ye Qingyu had arranged for Lan Tian and the others to temporarily remain in Light City.

Bai Yuanxing went to catch up with his old friends and informed Mother Wu that Li Ying and Li Qi were safe and sound.

Ximen Yeshui eagerly dragged Li Changkong out to experience the nightlife within the imperial city while Wen Wan wondered if his favorite food stalls were still in operation. This crazy noodle fanatic had rushed out immediately to eat noodles while the chubby w.a.n.g Li immediately itched to start gambling and went to find the soldiers under his command to gamble.

Empress Shui Xiu also remained in the Light City on a temporary basis while Ye Qingyu remained at the Light Palace and locked himself in self-isolation.

He finally remembered who the blurry figure who had rescued the Sky Emperor was.
