The Azure Lion King's sincerity was evident; among the divine artifacts were 100,000 jin of Pure Source, 100 Dao Palace magical artifacts, 10 Four Extremes artifacts, and 5 Dragon Transformation magical artifacts...
There was even a divine seal artifact that the Azure Lion King had painstakingly refined, and the rest of the treasures and divine artifacts were countless.
"Greetings, Green Lotus King! Greetings, Your Highness! My King wishes to be forever united with the Princess. From now on, anyone who disrespects the Green Lotus Lineage will be an enemy of Quicksand City! Moreover, my King has already designated a pure land for the Princess to rest in. Wei Kingdom is barren and not a suitable place. I hope the Princess will move there." The dragon- Dragon Transformation general in black armor knelt directly on the ground, his voice solemn and his attitude extremely respectful!
He was outside White Elephant City when Su Yu slaughtered it, and he also witnessed Su Yu's battle with the Azure Lion King. Su Yu's defeat of the Holy Lord with the help of First Immortal Realm cultivator was like a myth, and he had immense awe for Su Yu.
Yan Ruyu lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Azure Lion King Azure Lion King. Please give my regards to you! As for the matter of territory, please do not mention it again. How can we possibly occupy Azure Lion King's Divine Land?"
The young man who had been sitting quietly to the side glanced at the line of envoys and said in a deep voice, " Yu'er, from now on, let others handle these matters!"
"Grand Uncle, they've been waiting for a long time already, it won't take much more time anyway," Yan Ruyu replied gently, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, as if shrouded in a misty haze, her gaze falling on the divine jade artifact.
"Suit yourself. I've heard there are still remnants of the Azure Peng Lineage out there? Next time, bring his head with you!"
Having already possessed a precious body and recovered most of his strength, Yan Li looked coldly at the black-armored demon general. With a flick of his sleeve, the jade divine seal in the black-armored demon general's hand flew into his own.
"As the Azure Green Lotus King commands!"
The black-armored demon general at the Peak Dragon Transformation responded respectfully, and the other envoys also bowed in salute. Things were different now than before. The Green Lotus Clan had completely turned the tables, and no force wanted to offend them. If Yan Ruyu and Yan Li were blinded by greed and wanted to rebuild the Emperor Court with the help of a group of demon kings, it would be much simpler. They could even use the Green Lotus Emperor Weapon to sideline the Azure Green Lotus King. Unfortunately, the other party did not fall for that.
Since the deaths of Bai Xiang and Qing Peng, the demon kings of the Southern Region have basically confirmed the ownership of the Green Lotus Emperor Weapon. Various Demon Clan forces have become increasingly respectful of Yan Li, especially those forces that have offended or looked down on the Green Lotus Clan in the past, who are now trying their best to make amends.
Even demon kings at the Holy Lord level perished on the spot, let alone these Four Extremes Dragon Transformation forces...
As for the remnants of these two lineages, Yan Li need not say more; each force will take care of it on its own. When the White Elephant King and the Azure Peng King were at their peak, they made countless enemies. Now that they are in ruins, a single demon general can wipe them all out and even befriend the Green Lotus Clan.
After finishing their business, Yan Ruyu and Yan Li walked side by side toward the back hall.
Looking at Yan Li, who seemed unchanged, Yan Ruyu's eyes flickered, a pang of guilt rising in her heart. Could someone who had been converted, having lost their sense of self, still be considered an independent being?
"From now on, you don't need to pay attention to the demon kings in the Southern Region. You can focus on your cultivation. You won't lack cultivation resources. I heard that the Ji Family's Divine Body and the Yaoguang Holy Son are both in seclusion for the Four Extremes. Naturally, the Green Lotus Emperor's Daughter cannot fall behind."
Yan Li looked at the snow blanket beside the pool and smiled. His words were very natural and showed no difference from before. His current body was the physical body of the White Elephant King's son, with an extremely high bloodline concentration that matched his soul perfectly. Moreover, he was the son of his enemy.
" Ruyu understands..."
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared behind Yan Ruyu. An elderly man dressed in hemp clothing appeared in front of Yan Ruyu. His black hair cascaded down his back, and his face was kind as he said, "Princess, His Highness will be back soon. Please take care of some trivial matters as soon as possible!"
Yan Ruyu nodded slightly and replied, "I understand!"
The old man in hemp clothing disappeared back into the Void. Yan Ruyu bid farewell to Yan Li and returned to her palace.
Chapter 129 Cloudbreak Mountains
In the lands of the Southern Region, two phoenix figures traversed the Void, their feathers shimmering with crimson divine light, accompanied by the faint sound of thunder. With a flap of their two crimson-gold divine wings, they traversed thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in an instant, leaving only a few dozen miles of pure white clouds stretching across the heavens and earth, lingering for a long time.
Sitting cross-legged on the back of the Lightning Phoenix Bird, Su Yu stroked the Bronze Ring in his hand, lost in thought. The ring was ancient and rough. If it weren't for the wisps of divine light flowing through it, no one would pay any attention to it, because it was essentially just scrap copper.
Su Yu stared at the Ghost Face Mask on the ring. The ghost face on the mask seemed to be crying but not crying, laughing but not laughing, with tears in its smile.
He sighed softly and put the Bronze Ring into his body...
Cloudbreak Mountains.
This mountain range is situated in an oasis in the Great Wilderness, full of life. It is no longer Great Wilderness barren landscape outside. As far as the eye can see, it is lush and green, with trees covering the entire mountainside.
The highest peak, reaching nine thousand meters, is shrouded in white mist and swirling clouds, exuding a majestic aura. With mountains and water complementing each other, a spring gurgling forth, and a jade belt encircling the mountain, this is an ideal place for cultivation.
The sounds of wind and thunder swept down from the Nine Heavens, and two phoenixes, surrounded by wisps of divine lightning, flew down from the clouds.
Su Yu activated his Source Heaven Divine Eyes and surveyed the surrounding mountains. This place was not the forbidden land recorded in the Source Heaven Book, and the number of underground source veins was pitifully small. This place could barely serve as a stronghold for one of the Four Extremes powers. There were many such mountains and oases in the Eastern Wasteland, and he could not see anything unusual about it.
The Lightning Phoenix Bird continued flying forward. This mountain range stretched for hundreds of miles, and there were no sects in the mountains; it was an unclaimed land.
As they approached the center of the cloud-piercing mountain range, the terrain changed again. A wisp of white mist rose faintly from the earth's veins. It was not the mist in the mountains, but rather the mist rising from underground, a wisp of mist detected by their spiritual senses.
Here, there is a very wide riverbed, which has been dry for who knows how many years, and the pebbles have almost been weathered away.
This dried-up riverbed meanders from the mountains into the distance, like a dragon.
In the central region of the mountain range, there is a broken mountain, very thick and wide, with a flat cross-section, as if it had been cleaved by an unparalleled weapon, forming a huge platform.
Finally, the Lightning Phoenix Bird landed on the broken mountain. Su Yu stood in the Void, looking down at the mountain's break. The diameter of the platform on the mountainside was ten times that of the other mountains. If this broken mountain hadn't been broken, it would definitely be a sacred mountain and a pure land.
"Is this the ancestral land of my lineage? A single sword strike cleaved down a peerless divine mountain, even shattering the dragon vein's source energy and causing the terrain to collapse. Is this the Taihuang Sword of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
The Cloudbreak Mountains high into the sky, cutting through the white clouds. Some peaks are lush and green at their base, while their summits are covered in snow, creating a double spectacle that is truly extraordinary. However, the central mountain has been transformed into a flat plain, and the original mystical terrain has been damaged. The dragon energy has dissipated, turning it into a mortal place, no longer a pure land.
This is the most famous Duanshan Mountain in the Cloudbreak Mountains, located in the central region of the mountain range.
Looking at the terrain at the Broken Mountain, Su Yu made some deductions in his mind. Back then Ruthless One Lineage was besieged here and eventually uprooted by the Desolate Ancient Family.
Moreover, Tu Tian found the body of the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar on the outskirts of the Cloudbreak Mountains, and in the original work, Duan De dug out the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid at this location.
Thinking of this, Su Yu gently waved his hand, and the two Lightning Phoenix Bird behind him flew into the sky. Then, lightning flashed for thousands of feet in the mountains and rivers. The two Lightning Phoenix Bird were like Undying True Phoenix in the dazzling Divine Flame, and their powerful aura made people tremble.
Two phoenix cries shook the heavens and earth, resounding throughout the world; their clear and melodious sounds reached straight into the soul.
The Cloudbreak Mountains was covered by two terrifying Holy Lord- level auras. Some cultivators who came and went were intimidated by this aura. Everyone retreated, extremely frightened, and consciously withdrew from this mountain range.
Startling these cultivators into retreat, Su Yu summoned the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid, inserted the Bronze Ring into the Emperor Artifact, and then activated his own Chaos Origin. Nine-Colored Divine Light emanated from his forehead, and the vast dragon energy from the Big Dragon spine on his back also emitted a dragon roar. The divine power throughout his body transformed into dazzling divine radiance, condensing into a beam of Chaos Divine Light, which surged into the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid.
The originally grayish ceramic lid instantly dripped with streaks of dark light, sparkling and dazzling, and Chaos energy continuously overflowed, creating an incomparably vast and boundless, earth-shattering scene.
Su Yu activated the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid, feeling somewhat relieved. As his Chaos Body gradually reached perfection, the cost of reviving the Emperor Artifact also slowly decreased.
A terrifying, overwhelming pressure filled the mountain range. Su Yu, with the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid over his head, began searching from the broken mountain and finally discovered something unusual on an inconspicuous low hill.
Su Yu landed at the foot of the low mountain, his divine eyes gleaming with boundless Daoist energy as he observed the mountain's terrain.
This place is strange; only some of the original veins of the Cloudbreak Mountains remain, one of which is located at the foot of the mountain.
As they approached the mountain, the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid trembled slightly, swirling with wisps of Chaos energy and shimmering with a faint dark light. In the boundless Void, countless divine runes of the Great Dao pulsed, ripples materializing and enveloping this world.
Su Yu closed his divine eyes, surrounded by three thousand Chaos energies. The pure white Chaos energy intertwined with the dark light, creating an incomparably sacred aura.
He sensed with his primordial Chaos, and after a while, he opened his eyes, deep in thought. Something below the mountain was attracting his primordial Chaos.
Su Yu raised his hand and condensed a beam of Chaos light. Suddenly, he stopped, and the dazzling divine light in his hand dissipated on its own.
A young man in a red robe emerged from the three thousand Chaos energies. His red robes were so vibrant they seemed to drip with blood, like flames burning. Seven-colored divine flames burned all over his body, and his aura was captivating. This was his Dao Palace Fire Element God, who had refined the Seven-Colored True Flame of the eighth layer of the Fire Domain and was the strongest among his five elemental gods.
The Dao Palace Deity removed the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid, waved his right hand, and a seven-colored Divine Flame surged out, causing the rocks to crumble and turn into magma, creating a passage. He then walked in with the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid.
Su Yu stood outside the mountain, waiting quietly. He had no shortage of fire-elemental divine objects. The Nine-Layer Fire Domain was his treasure trove. Even if Dao Palace Deity was injured, he could recover quickly as long as he returned to the Fire Domain. As for the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid, it contained his Chaos Essence Blood and Primordial Spirit Imprint. Unless it was suppressed by another Emperor Weapon, it could be summoned back by him no matter how far apart they were.
Even the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, located far away in the Central Region of the Eastern Wasteland, is no exception. With a thought, it can directly summon the jar across regions, making the Emperor Weapon one with it. This is the miraculous nature of the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon. As long as you are recognized by the Emperor Weapon God, you will be the First Generation Emperor Weapon Master. You can use divine power and blood essence to recall the Emperor Weapon, and even make the God autonomously revive and restore its Supreme power.
The Dao Palace Deity broke through the earth's veins, and flames leaped throughout the entire passage, the temperature extremely high. Drops of magma fell from the mountain rocks, making a "sizzling" sound.
The Fire God was protected by the Seven-Colored True Flame, making him impervious to all magic and completely unaffected by the outside world. The empty cave was bottomless, like a bottomless abyss, devouring the souls of those who dared to venture in.
Chapter 130 Small World [10,000 words, 5 updates, please vote!]
The Fire God shrank to an inch, moving with incredible speed, instantly covering hundreds of meters. Feeling the pull of the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid, he traveled for dozens of miles. Finally, the Ghost Face Mask on the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid glowed slightly, as if responding to something.
The deity stopped before a mottled, broken stone gate. On the crumbling stone wall was an incomplete mural depicting an ancient, Demon Jar that seemed to devour everything. Countless gods and demons bowed their heads, but only a faint trace of their divinity remained.
Su Yu's Dao Palace Deity exuded the sacred aura of the " Indestructible Heavenly Art," his entire body shimmering with divine light, and wisps of Chaos energy dissipating, illuminating the cave in a hazy light, while the mysterious pull grew stronger.
The broken Demon Jar on the stone wall cast a faint glow, and the soft dark light intertwined with the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid. The mural peeled away, and pieces of stone fell off. The patterns on the stone wall began to change, and a goddess with flowing robes and a blurred face appeared. Finally, the dark light on the mural surged out like a rain of light and fell on Su Yu's clothes.
In the rain of light, the Yin and Yang energies circulated, and the transformations of the two polarities evolved, ultimately transforming into a Chaos Dao Diagram, incomparably hazy, carrying a faint Daoist charm.
The Dao Palace Deity, bearing the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid, stepped into the Chaos Dao Diagram. Then, the universe shifted, the heavens and earth changed dramatically, and the laws of time and space emerged like the tide, transforming this place into a Chaos Cave.
When he came to his senses, he found himself in a dark palace, where a dim light shone in from the outside, illuminating the palace in a hazy glow.
This is a divine palace forged from black jade, and it seems to be a small world created by a sage, somewhat similar to the small world of the Azure Flood Dragon King. However, the spatial power here is more stable; it must have been created by the Saint King Realm being...
The Devouring Heaven Demon Lid above Su Yu's head trembled slightly. He used the mirror of the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid to see the ground beneath his feet. He was standing on a corner of the array pattern. Moreover, there were four humanoid stone statues surrounding the palace. Two of them were completely broken, with only their bases remaining. The other two were intact.
In front of the palace lay a row of crystal-clear, white corpses, and ancient divine artifacts were scattered throughout the halls: a dazzling golden sword, a wondrous cauldron radiating purple light, a nine-story divine tower entirely emerald green...
"Is this the Empress's array pattern? It seems similar, but it's different from the one in the tomb, and it doesn't involve imperial divine patterns, so it's not Imperial Dao Law array! And what about these bones and magical artifacts!"
Su Yu ignored the corpses and divine weapons. He carefully observed the array patterns in the hall. The array patterns on his side were already severely damaged and were gradually being worn away by the extreme aura of the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid. The array patterns behind the group of corpses were still relatively intact!
"A battle of epic proportions? In the end, both the invaders and the defenders perished here?"
However, with the guidance of the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid, he easily found the true path to survival from the array patterns. He then walked to the main seat in the hall, where a divine seal was placed on a golden table. Su Yu activated his divine power to refine the divine seal.
This is the control artifact for the palace, and the palace itself is a special artifact.
Those four stone statues were all puppets of the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform of the Sendai realm, possessing boundless power, but they could not move, being integrated with the Void, and two of the statues had been completely shattered.
All the array patterns are nodes of the palace and cannot be moved arbitrarily.
After leaving the palace, I found myself standing in a Void.
Su Yu looked up and saw clouds filling the air. The small world was quiet, and ahead lay magnificent palaces. There was no ground here, only an endless Void. All the palaces were situated high in the Nine Heavens, surrounded by layers of clouds.
Behind him were thirteen dilapidated palaces, some of which floated in the Void, creating a sense of desolation.
"Has this world also been invaded?" Su Yu looked at the scene, his emotions fluctuating, but he silently composed himself and stepped into the next level of the palace...
He did not refine the palace seal again along the way; he was only here to scout ahead.
After traveling through four divine palaces, they finally arrived at the last heavenly palace.
This is a magnificent palace situated in the endless Void.
The magnificent Heavenly Palace contains many stone carvings. The ancient carvings depict the goddess Demon Jar we saw earlier, and the myths and legends they tell all revolve around her. In the ancient palace, there is even a real statue with an extremely blurry face. All we can see is that it is a woman, and the Stone Jar in her hand is exactly the shape of the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, and it even radiates a little divine light.
Su Yu looked at the divine runes of the Great Dao around him with a sharp gaze. There were true ultimate runes here, completely different from the array runes in the previous four-story palace. Moreover, there were two corpses in the ancient palace in the center, perfectly intact corpses!
"Was that the outer Sacred Path array just now? The Imperial Path array patterns have just appeared here! What exactly happened here?" Su Yu wondered to himself.
The array patterns before him were becoming increasingly complex, even touching upon the realm of imperial power. Many of the divine patterns were remarkably similar to the Dao patterns on the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar.
However, the grand formation in the Heavenly Palace was still an incomplete Emperor Formation, not a complete one, and was vastly different from the complete Emperor Formation in the Ruthless One's Tomb.
Su Yu surveyed his surroundings. The material of this heavenly palace was quite peculiar; it was not made of the previous spiritual black jade, but of a special kind of Black Gold Divine Wood. Moreover, the entire palace was engraved with sacred divine patterns, and it was surrounded by a holy aura.
This is a sacred array set up by the Saint ancestor of the Ruthless One Lineage!
Su Yu walked into the broken Emperor Formation next to the stone statue. The terrifying extreme array patterns lay lifelessly in the hall, silent and utterly still. Two divine corpses lay prostrate beneath the stone statue, creating an extremely mysterious atmosphere, as if this were the end of everything.
Su Yu approached the stone statue, and a hazy, dark light emanated from the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid above his head.
Before he could properly examine these two extraordinary bodies, the Stone Jar in the statue's hand began to glow slightly. The Ghost Face Mask on the Stone Jar seemed to come alive, and tears welled up in its stone eyes, creating an incredibly mystical scene. The statue then emitted a radiance that enveloped Su Yu.
After an unknown amount of time, he entered a dark region. In the darkness, a dark light flickered, and an ancient jar radiated divine light in the air, with countless rays of divine light and auspicious colors illuminating that area.
