Chapter 713 The Flying Immortal Light, the Azure Gold Body
In the outer heavens of the Great Luo Heaven, within an unnamed forest, three thousand Nether Phoenix Blood Tree sway in the wind, their branches strong and vigorous, their dark red leaves gleaming with a cold light, their ancient roots jet black, shrouded in mist, where phoenixes seem to come and go.
However, the Huang here were stained with blood, carrying an ominous meaning that sent chills down one's spine.
This is a secret realm, unknown to anyone, located outside the Luo Heaven Realm.
Deep inside, in a cave dwelling, are several enshrined spirit tablets, neither gold nor iron, made of an unknown material, shimmering with a profound luster.
The Chaos atmosphere there completely submerged the tokens.
Suddenly, an ancient plaque swayed, and there was a faint sense that it was cracking.
At that moment, countless Nether Dao energy overflowed from the void, eerie and malevolent, fixing the token back in place.
"Has the East Prison Fifteen been triggered?"
A voice, cold and indifferent, broke the silence from the darkness.
The moment that sound rang out, rings of Nether Dao Scriptures spread out, and thousands upon thousands of strands of Yue Hua fluttered down, illuminating the area in front of the altar.
A dark palace, not particularly grand in its main structure, but its interior was more expansive than the starry sky. The walls gleamed with a cold metallic sheen, adorned with images of auspicious clouds drifting by, ladies strolling under the moon, and women in white gathering wild herbs...
When light shines inside, the place is filled with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, lush vegetation, and is no longer eerie or gloomy, but brimming with vitality.
On a lake of stars, purple vines intertwine, the spirit of plants bursts forth with Life essence, petals fall in profusion, there is a stone table and a futon, and a woman sits cross-legged.
Her silver hair cascaded down her shoulders, each strand delicate and soft, radiating a soft glow. She was beautiful, with a crescent moon mark between her brows, but her face was covered with a layer of white frost, as if frozen for a thousand years. She wore a magnificent and exquisite black robe, engraved with flowers, birds, fish, insects, the sun, Sun-Moon, and stars. She wore Ghost Emperor's crown adorned with twelve strings of glass beads. Her entire being exuded an aura of dignified power that made people afraid to approach her.
She was incredibly powerful, surrounded by profound and refined Quasi-Emperor chains, radiating the aura of Quasi-Emperor Third Heaven, dominating the entire realm and becoming the only one of her kind in this world.
This person is none other than Yao Yue, the Lord of the Yin Realm appointed by the Chaos Hall under Kun Court, and the former closed-door disciple of the Queen Mother of the West.
As soon as the silver-haired Ghost Emperor awoke, her eyes flashed with Dao light, and her brow shone brightly. She unleashed the Heavenly Dao Dharma Eye, projecting a light-year distance to investigate matters in the East Prison.
Inside the East Prison, a vast and boundless divine sense descended, quickly grasping the time and space of this place, and began to carefully explore this demonic cave.
"The prison lord has actually been killed. No wonder the prison tokens were acting strangely..." Yao Yue was very surprised, and her unchanging expression changed.
"Who could it be? Someone capable of defeating the Great Completion Zombie King of the Mythical Era?" She frowned slightly, her cold eyes narrowing.
This ancient Burial Ground has an extraordinary origin. It is the strongest Hell among all the prisons under the jurisdiction of the Yin Nether Realm, with nearly ten thousand ancient Corpse Demon and a zombie puppet from the past.
In the final battle of the Underworld, this prison was suppressed by Su Yu with a wave of his hand, and the rest was handed over to her, so it did not show much of its sharpness.
But those who are truly familiar with the Underworld know how terrifying this place is. A terrifying mythical zombie king lies dormant within, having been transformed into a puppet by the combined efforts of the Underworld Emperor, the Zhenyu, and the Yanluo King over two hundred thousand years ago. Its strength is astonishing, approaching the Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm realm, and it is one of the foundations of the Underworld's forbidden zones.
After obtaining this puppet, Yao Yue, limited by her own strength, sealed off part of the Ancient Jiangshi's power.
Even so, this puppet possesses the strength of the Seventh Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and very few beings in the outside world can kill it, especially...
"This fluctuation is caused by instantaneous killing... the laws of time..."
The silver-haired Ghost Emperor slightly opened his phoenix eyes, a glint of light flashing within them, as he discovered a broken Bronze Flowers of Time left behind here.
She frowned, instantly recognizing who had made the move.
In the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, apart from some hidden beings in forbidden zones, only the legendary successor of Purple Mountain, Shi Ming, the master of the Time Hall, possesses such terrifying enlightenment about the Dao of Time.
"Reckless and audacious, disturbing my Yin Underworld! Do you really think you can act with impunity just because you can Almost-Enlightened One enlightenment?" Yao Yue snorted coldly, clearly displeased with the Master of the Time Hall, who had overstepped his bounds.
Just then, a glowing token appeared in her hand; it was the same token that had caused the disturbance on the altar earlier.
She swung the prison token with all her might, and the Void immediately became chaotic, like ripples on water. The ancient land shook, and the force was terrifying.
In an instant, the token rapidly enlarged, transforming into a purple coffin, identical to the one beneath the Demon Cave.
However, one is true, and the other is false.
Yao Yue moved her slender hand, forming a hand seal.
"Buzz!"
With a soft thud, the lid of the ancient coffin flipped open, and a bloody human skin floated out, then swelled up and finally floated in mid-air—a sight both complete and terrifying.
This human skin wasn't empty; it contained purple straw inside, making it look extremely eerie, especially the head, where cold light gleamed from the empty eye sockets, sending chills down one's spine.
Then, the Ghost Emperor cast another hand seal, and countless runes surged from the purple coffin. Another person sat up, covered in blood, without skin, extremely terrifying and bloody, just like the Ancient Jiangshi on the ground, only even more horrifying.
That skin belonged to him.
Clearly, the Ancient Jiangshi in this space are not physical entities; the real zombie puppet corpses are hidden within the token.
"Clothe yourself in corpse skin," the Ghost Emperor said coldly.
As soon as the words were spoken, the blood-covered humanoid creature slowly floated up and lunged at the skin. The two began to merge together, a very slow process.
More than a hundred breaths later, a completely new being was born, with long gray hair and blood seeping from every pore of its body. The scabs formed a strange set of armor, covering it.
In addition, a tattered set of Netherworld Gold armor descended from the sky, belonging to the slain Lord of Prison-Suppressing Hall, and the Ancient Jiangshi King was clad within it.
This is the true power of the Underworld, a Blood King Zombie Puppet with the combat strength of the Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm. It is simply incomparable to the previous illusory Ancient Jiangshi. The difference in combat strength between the two is too great.
However, if this puppet is destroyed, this ancient prison will be difficult to repair.
" Ghost Jiang, if you encounter Shi Ming again, you must not hold back."
Yao Yue gave the order, and the latter mechanically knelt down and bowed his head in agreement.
After doing all this, she withdrew her consciousness, her expression very displeased, and a fierce fire almost shot out from her eyes.
As masters of the same palace, the other party freely entered the Yin Realm, treated the East Prison as his backyard, and wantonly slaughtered the prison lords, showing no regard for her whatsoever.
This is not a battle of egos, but a struggle for the right to speak.
As a spirit of the underworld, even with Su Yu's assistance in absorbing true yang, Yao Yue's true nature could not be changed.
Yin and Yang combine and converge into one.
She gave her tranquil and serene feminine side to Su Yu, while her masculine side, representing killing and solemnity, was revealed in her daily life, ruling the Yin Nether Realm and not allowing anyone to offend her.
Even the Master of the Time Hall and the Master of the True Phoenix Hall are not allowed.
She is Su Yu's true empress.
Her husband governs the mortal world, while she controls the Yin Underworld.
At the same time, everything she owns belongs to her master...
In order to gain that person's attention, she would not allow anyone to touch the authority of the Nether Realm, and she wanted to compete with the Master of the Time Hall and the Master of the True Phoenix Hall for the third position.
As for the second in sequence...
Thinking of the Female Saint Spirit with the Sky-Blue Mother Gold Body, Yao Yue's eyes remained calm, showing little change.
Based on her understanding of Su Yu, she knew that he would never let go of a female cultivator who possessed both divine speed bloodline and extraordinary cultivation.
She was powerless to do anything about it; the gap between herself and the Female Saint Spirit was too great. The Holy Spirit's talent was terrifying, and she was no match for her, nor could she compete with her.
But no one can beat her in the third pick.
She knew perfectly well why she received such affection and favor.
Those mediocre women are only at the Immortal Three or Saint, but she has already become Great Saint.
By the time those people had reached the level of Saint King or Great Saint, she had already established herself Quasi-Emperor.
In fact, her Quasi-Emperor essence played a significant role in Su Yu's cultivation, and vice versa.
Therefore, she did not take Divine Silkworm Princess, Yan Ruyu, and others seriously.
Even within the inner palace, the hierarchy remained strict, with ranks determined by cultivation level.
The only ones who could catch her eye were Shui Ling He You, both at the Quasi-Emperor Third Heaven, and the Divine Silkworm Princess at the Quasi-Emperor Second Heaven. Among them, Dustless Sea Spirit was engrossed in enlightenment and did not take matters of love seriously, nor did she have any intention of vying for favor.
As far as Yao Yue knew, Su Yu had gone there several times out of high spirits, He You refused, citing his desire to attain enlightenment. After that, Su Yu went much less often.
Only Divine Silkworm Princess pursued Su Yu day and night, to the point that she secretly became pregnant.
Thinking of this, the master of the Yin Underworld's gaze grew even colder.
but...
So what if that little slut from the Silkworm Clan bears a child for Su Yu?
She was still riding on her head.
The other person will never be able to turn their life around; they can only accept this fate.
The idea that a mother's status depends on her daughter is nothing but worldly nonsense.
"I am the true Empress... I should bear children for my master." Yao Yue's eyes were cold, her fair hand caressing her lower abdomen, lost in a kind of obsession.
She harbored hostility towards both the Divine Silkworm Princess and the Divine Silkworm Clan.
Those in power intend to cause trouble for the Divine Silkworm Clan, and soon the calamity will begin.
Divine Silkworm Princess, who was meditating in the inner palace at this moment, was unaware that she was being targeted by a terrifying being, which had even implicated the Divine Silkworm Clan.
The reason behind this is simply jealousy among women.
This has nothing to do with cultivation level; it's just possessiveness at play.
Su Yu would never have known that the repressed, cold, and self-centered personality of the spirit he cherished and doted on would cause him considerable trouble.
However, given his personality, even if he found out, he would most likely just laugh it off.
It's just a little bit of hardship...
Meanwhile, Shi Ming, who was pondering the profound meaning of the Wushi Scripture Sutra in the Time Hall, was unaware that his unintentional actions had caused considerable consequences.
At this moment, he was still pondering the question of the Dharma's response.
" The Black Emperor called seventy-eight times before the Dharma Body responded. The distance between me and it isn't that far. If we were separated by a boundary, getting the Dharma Body to respond would be much more difficult..."
The Time Avatar sighed softly, increasingly aware of the power of the Immortal King and Immortal King of the Foreign Realm of the Immortal Ancient Era.
The recitation caused the royal instruments to move!
Too many secrets were involved.
The Great Dao of Cause and Effect, the Law of Space, the Time Dao...
