Chapter 559: Chapter 559
The fairies in the throne hall noticed the presence of the Immortal Sun Emperor coming from the outside. The female emperor showed an aggressive smile as if entertained that someone that powerful had appeared on this mortal planet. Even though she is just a wisp of soul, her strength is enough to overwhelm the Moon Empress who is now suppressed by her with her blood.
Yue Xuexia with her robes in tatters supported herself with her sword and looked at the female emperor with dull eyes. She was panting as if out of breath.
{What is this? Is this all you can do?}
Yue Xuexia’s eyes flashed with hints of crimson and lightning. With a wave of her hand a crimson sword slash similar to the one this female emperor had used had now been wielded by her. This caught the female emperor in surprise and jumped to dodge who would have thought this sword slashed to morph in shape and turned into a blood phoenix covered in lighting. Yue Xuexia had broken through to the second level of sword intent as the presence of the sword appeared on her back.
The force of second level sword intent had finally broken through the solid defensive formation around the Ancient Crimson Palace and blasted the whole roof affecting those who were outside by this explosion.
With the whole roof being blasted to ruins, two females jump out to continue their battle. They saw two females in the sky. One in white robes which is now dirtied by blood and the other in black mask with her robes full of countless sword slashes.
What shocked everyone is the presence of sword intent at second level. Two crossed swords appeared on Yue Xuexia’s forehead and behind her a red crescent moon appeared. No one knew when the Moon Goddess activated her domain. Those within her domain can feel their blood boiling under this red moon and even Shen Jueyang was affected.
Then under this red crescent moon, the Moon Goddess’ long black hair slowly turned to white then to crimson. When she opened her eyes, even her silver eyes had turned crimson red and that expressionless face of hers, morphed into a slight arrogant yet seductive smile.
"Yin Yang Physique, First Level: Crimson Empress!"
"Jingyue (Mirror Moon), Awaken!"
Under the blood red crescent moon, Yue Xuexia’s Sword Artifact called Jingyue awakened. All swords in the area were shaken by the sudden bloodlust this sword artifact possessed. Moreover, it changed in color from an ordinary silver sword to a crimson blade as if the crimson crescent moon behind the Moon Goddess had materialized.
The female emperor looked excited at this scene. This is the power she had wanted to see but Yue Xuexia had never used before. As this is something she still had no full control of yet.
{This is it! This is what I wanted to see...Ah~ those eyes are simply gorgeous!}
"Special Moon Phase: Blood Moon Annihilation!"
Yue Xuexia used the crimson sword in her hand to destroy the moon behind her. Once the red crescent moon was broken, its fragments turned into thousands of blood sword slashes and everything within the Ancient Crimson Palace was slashed by it.
The Female Emperor opened her hand wide welcoming the attack while looking at Yue Xuexia.
{We shall meet again. The other me. Hahaha!!}
Under this powerful domain attack, everything within the Ancient palace was destroyed by the sword slashes and from a majestic Ancient Crimson Palace, there is only a rumble left behind. The female emperor had also disappeared and what only remained is a crimson royal seal in the form of a blood red dragon-phoenix.
Upon seeing that the female emperor had faded, Yue Xuexia’s red eyes and hair turned back to black and the Moon Domain she had activated had disappeared once again revealing a clear bright sky. She fell from the sky as if she had overused her everything and even a trail of blood can be found at the corner of her lips.
Shen Jueyang, who had just broken the barrier, immediately flew to her side and caught her, who had fainted.
He trembles as he gently wipes the blood trail at the corner of Yue Xuexia’s lips.
"Blood Element and Yin Yang Physique. Xue’er, how much more are you hiding from me?" Shen Jueyang whispered.
However, the lady in his embrace had no answer as she had longed to faint. He couldn’t help but tighten his hold on her. As if she would disappear anytime. He can feel that something beyond his control is happening. But he had no way of stopping it at all.
With a wave of his hand, the crimson royal seal and some other heavenly treasures buried under the pile of rubbles floated towards him and took it to the system inventory which Yue Xuexia had ownership of. He then flew away intending to find a nice place to help Yue Xuexia heal. The power she had used just now was even capable of killing a Mahayama Realm Cultivator.
However, the backlash Yue Xuexia had suffered was due to his severe overuse of blood. That’s why the paleness of her skin was worse than before. She looked like a dead person with her eyes closed at this moment which made Shen Jueyang extremely uncomfortable.
"I am here. Why... do you... never call my name...?" The Immortal Sun Emperor mumbles as they fly away.
Everyone waited for the tyrant to leave with the Moon Goddess. Both of them are dangerous. They were terrified. If that barrier was fully destroyed by the tyrant before the Moon Goddess made her move, would that mean they would have died together with the three Huashen realm seniors who got killed by her domain grade attack.
It was only when the cultivators were sure that the pair had disappeared somewhere that they started digging. They were sure that there was more treasure buried in these ruins. After all, they had seen the Immortal Sun Emperor take the most important treasure, the Royal Seal, with them and a few more high grade treasures that are not destined to be with them.
The scraps these pairs left is more than enough for them and it’s still a treasure in their eyes as long as they are able to find it under these rubbles. As for the pair, who left who cared where they had disappeared too.
On the other hand, in the south.
The rain of lava left those who were in the place running for their lives except those who are capable of controlling fire like Tan Shenyu and Tan Huangyu. They stood at the highest land and meditated while being hit by the lava which merged with them and helped them accumulate qi this whole time. There are also other fire spirit root born cultivators within the coward but their ability to gather fire elements is weaker than Tan Shenyu and Tan Huangyu needing to stop their meditation and rest.
"Those two had been absorbing the fire elements in this area all this time. HOw could they do such a thing?"
"Is there a treasure on them that helps do so?" Follow current novᴇls on novel⟡fire.net
"Even if they do, are you going to make a move?"
"I heard that the young one is the disciple of the tyrant. If you want to seek death, do it on your own."
"Hey! I’m not saying I want to do something? Maybe ask if they can share how they are absorbing all those pure fire elements in their bodies?"
"As if they will share something precious towards strangers!"
These are cultivators with fire spirit roots and can defend themselves against the falling lava in the sky. There is no need to run. They just need to rest before meditating again. As for the others, they had longed to die or run, covered in burns, bald or so just to escape the whole place.
All of the sudden mixing with the rain of lava, a tribulation lightning fell to the ground and it was near Tan Shenyu. The moment this first strike fell, Tan Huangyu beside him immediately opened his eyes and jumped to the distance to avoid getting involved.
He shouted, "He is breaking through! Leave the range of his tribulation or you will get struck by lightning!"
The other cultivators in the crowd were dumbfounded and scrambled to run far away from Tan Shenyu. They couldn’t believe that he was breaking through at that moment.
"Impossible! Isn’t he only Early Yuanying Realm!?"
"Breaking through a minor level lands him a tribulation trial!"
"What would happen if he tries to break through to the next realm?!"
Tan Huangyu responded to the confusion of the crowd.
"That’s normal for him. This planet’s heavenly laws hate his master (Shen Jueyang). It cannot do anything to its master so the heavenly laws target him. He won’t actually die and the rewards are still there. It’s just getting struck by lightning. It’s just that... It’s extremely painful."
Tan Shenyu, who got struck by lightning every time he made a breakthrough , had gotten used to it. He even pleads with Yue Yuya to teach him body cultivation which allows him to bear the lightning strike.
Getting a direct hit by lightning finally woke up Tan Shenyu and noticed the dark clouds lingering only above his heads and pointed while complaining.
"You again! I said if you have a problem with the master , go strike him with lightning, not me!"
Tan Shenyu was frightened and immediately dodged twice at the two lightning falling on to his head. He had started running around while being chased by lightning strikes.
"Fucker! You are just scared of my Master!!"
He gave the heavens a middle finger and was struck by lightning faster this time. Tan Shenyu failed to dodge and got a direct hit. His skin turned black from being struck but there weren’t burns thanks to the body cultivation Yue Yuya had taught him. However, his hair was burned and turned into an afro.
After being struck by lightning the dark clouds fade and a light pillar falls on Tan Shenyu healing his wound except for his hair which remained burned. Everyone who witnessed him being chased by lightning, shouting to heaven and even giving it a middle finger only to be struck directly as if his middle finger acted like a lightning rod. Everyone couldn’t help but laugh at the scene.
