Chapter 558: Chapter 558
Yue Xuexia noticed the commotion behind her but it had nothing to do with her. She felt that this Ancient Palace forbids flying and she descended for this reason. Walking on the stone stairs she felt pressure on her body and voices lingering at her ears. However, it had no effect on her before. She knows what the feeling of weakness is. She might look strong to the eyes of others but she believes that only those at the level of Shen Jueyang can be considered really strong.
This weak her, she accepted it. That’s why this trial of denial had no effect on her. She doesn’t deny that she is weak. Only after reaching the end of the stairs did the coercion disappear. Yue Xuexia looks around and everything looks strangely like something she had seen before. It made her feel a bit uneasy and asked Yue Xuehua inside her if she had seen this palace.
Yue Xuexia asked, "Hua, can you come look for a while if this palace looks familiar to you?"
Borrowing only one eye from Yue Xuexia, Yue Xuehua looked around before responding to the main soul.
"Hm? Yes, this looks similar to my palace in the Immortal World. The only difference is that I like lotus flowers, not Lycoris," Yue Xuehua said. "Maybe this palace had some connections to us. Not to me who was born in the past but to you the main soul."
The Moon Goddess understood what Yue Xuehua was trying to say. But choose not to dwell on it. For her future soul will definitely not exist in this world and would actively avoid her. After all, the moment they met, regardless of their strength she can overpower her.
Yue Xuexia suddenly felt something tugging on her fingers and saw that Xiao Jin in her arms was pointing in some kind of direction.
"Alright. Let’s go. My little munchkin," said the Moon Goddess with a doting gaze. She had always been sweet to babies and children.
Yue Xuexia walks towards the palace and with a slight push from her the door is slammed open. She looked at her dusty hand with a cold glance and immediately used a cleansing spell. She walked inside the palace and was welcomed with a ruin sight covered with lycoris flowers swaying. She seems to have entered the throne hall as there is a desolated phoenix designed throne at the end of the hall.
The throne might look like a phoenix designed at a distance but upon close look one can see that this is a dragon phoenix. For those in royal blood, dragons signifies emperor while a phoenix for an empress. For these two signs to be mixed with the phoenix looking more prominent than the dragon. Meant that the owner of this throne is a female.
Yue Xuexia mumbles, "A crimson palace ruled by an empress without an emperor. A good match."
She continued to watch the throne and the hall but found nothing notable and was about to leave when she suddenly felt a force pulling her towards the throne. At first, Yue Xuexia was taken a bit of a surprise and staggered. She braced herself and stood her ground while looking at the throne coldly.
"Come out. How long are you going to watch me?"
{Heh~ for someone weak you are quite feisty~}
A lady in a crimson empress robe with golden dragon-phoenix design appeared on the throne with a translucent shade. She looked like a ghost. Maybe a remnant spirit. However, the fact that she sat on the throne showed her standing. Except for the fact that this female emperor had hidden her face with a black mask, something about her made Yue Xuexia familiar.
The Moon Goddess felt the danger coming from the female ghost and immediately placed Xiao Jin back into her inner world leaving him to his siblings then two divine grade artifacts appeared on her hand. On her right hand is her rarely used Crescent Moon Blade and the Moon Severing Fan in her left hand.
{You are going to fight me? That serious? Very well,well I shall play with you!}
The female emperor stood from her throne and a crimson sword appeared on her hand. She attacked Yue Xuexia without hesitation. The force in this stabbing attack made Yue Xuexia fly back but she blocked the sword that wanted to stab her in the heart.
At the moment her feet landed on the ground, she twirls creating the first step of Moon Lotus Dance. At each move, a set of silver lotuses flew towards her opponent. These are swords made with sword intent and each wave of Yue Xuexia’s hand creates more than a dozen of such flowers.
As if feeling the danger these silver lotuses bring, the female emperor parried it as she couldn’t cut through it unless she used the same level of sword intent. In just one exchange between the two heroines, the hall was filled with silver lotuses and crimson lycoris. It was such a beautiful scene if not for the fact that these silver lotuses are deadly.
One touch will cause the sword qi in it to explode in silver sword slashes. 16 slashes per silver lotus and this is only because the sword intent Yue Xuexia master is only at the first level. If she reaches the second level of sword intent the flower petals will increase from16 to 32. At third, it would be 64, so on and so forth.
{Moon Lotus Dance. Sword Intent. Yin Moon Physique. I know that’s not all. That is only your abilities as a Moon Goddess. There should be more!!}
The female emperor said as her crimson sword glowed with red shade. With a slash, the silver lotus flowers were tainted with the color of blood and melted. Yue Xuexia frowned when she saw this. This is the first time someone uses such a strange skill to counter her sword technique. She had also smelled the scent of blood.
The two ladies clashed again and again, their speed is too fast and they both look like they are dancing. The fairy in white dances with silver lotus flowers while the fairy in red dances with crimson blood. Each clash will taint the silver lotus with blood causing it to melt and disappear. However, there are some silver lotuses that activate throwing some silvery sword slashes towards the other lady who dodges it avoiding her vitals while ignoring the scratches. Updates are released by novᴇlfire.net
As for the Moon Goddess, her robes were tainted by blood making it as if she is transitioning to the fairy she is fighting with. On her exquisite face is a coldness that can even match the glaciers that lasted for hundreds of years.
"The Moon Goddess is fighting someone!"
"Who the hell is that?! She is also amazing!"
"Look closely! It’s a ghost but how the hell can she bleed!"
All of a sudden, these three Huashen Realm Cultivators were also attacked by the enemies that looked like them. However, looking more like a demonic cultivator than a righteous one like they are.
"Fuck! What is this?!"
"It looked like me!?"
"Are we supposed to fight our own demonic version in this palace!?"
"Is this an Ancient Palace that houses Demonic Cultivators!"
"Damn! Split! If they work together, it’s over for us!"
A few new rounds of fighting were seen around the palace. The Yuanying Realm Cultivators who were waiting had watched the seniors fighting their Evil Version in the palace and couldn’t help but shiver. A battle of four Huashen Realm Cultivators? This Ancient Crimson Palace is so indestructible that it cannot be destroyed by these seniors fighting all over it.
Boom! Crash! WHOOSH! BAM!
All kinds of sound was heard coming from the Ancient Crimson Palace and by the time the other cultivators had arrived, the signs of fighting still hadn’t stopped at all. Some curious cultivators can only ask the Yuanying Cultivators gathering outside the palace and were informed about what is wrong with this site.
"What Yuanying realm cultivators cannot go inside! Only Huashen Realm cultivators can!"
"You have to fight your demonic version inside and they have been at it for hours!"
"Who the hell is inside? Especially the one in the palace? That aura is too powerful!"
"It’s the Moon Goddess. Only she had entered the palace hall."
Shen Jueyang who arrived overheard this and narrowed his eyes towards the Ancient Crimson Palace and noticed that even by using his divine consciousness he couldn’t see through this palace’s walls making him frowned. Everyone had shut their mouths when they noticed the arrival of the Immortal Sun Emperor.
"Fuck! It’s the tyrant!"
"He is already here!"
Shen Jueyang didn’t even give them a glance and just flew directly towards the palace only to be blocked by the barrier around it.
He mumbles, "A decent barrier... But, it wasn’t enough to block this deity!?"
With a wisp of golden-red fire at the tip of his right pointer finger, he pushed his finger towards the invisible barrier and the golden-red flames spread all over the barrier as if it was alive. It formed a huge hand of flame and crushed it like an egg.
This is the sound of the barrier breaking.
