Imperial God Emperor

The Licorice gourd flew in the direction of [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].  

The moment it fell into the hands of [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], a layer of yellow mist suddenly bloomed, Dao sound was flowing out of the gourd, like a yellow liquid. It was incredibly bizarre. There were rumblings inside the gourd, like waves howling, and as though there was an ocean inside. 

“Hey? It is the [Gourd of the Absolute Beginning]...” the million-year-old soul exclaimed.  

He recognized the origin of the gourd, which was very astonishing and once incredibly famous.  

“No wonder Li Xiaofei could become a Quasi-emperor, with this gourd he can move unhindered throughout the world.” The million-year-old soul had understanding dawning on his face. Even many super forces in the world, clans, sects and imperial courts, which martial arts Emperor had emerged from before, had not cultivated a Quasi-emperor. It should be said the Li family of the Ming Domain was not a top force, yet it was able to cultivate such a powerful Quasi-emperor. It turns out that the gourd was the reason.  

Ye Qingyu guarded the fatty.  

The moment the licorice gourd was released from his hand, the fatty had lost consciousness.

In fact, if Ye Qingyu had not protected the fatty, he would have already turned into powder and ashes. His current state, whether it was in strength, yuan qi or physical body, was unable to withstand the ripples of Dao sounds between the heavens and earth. Moreover, Ye Qingyu had taken steps right away to treat fatty, but to fully recover, most likely that would not happen overnight.

“Can the licorice gourd block this grey-copper temple?” Ye Qingyu asked.  

The million-year-old soul slightly frowned, “If it were the complete [Gourd of the Absolute Beginning], perhaps it can, but... look closely, the gourd in Li Xiaofei's hand is not in its complete state and seemed to have broken... It is imperfect, and most likely can't withstand against an object as fierce as the grey-copper temple.” 

Protecting the fatty, Ye Qingyu carefully looked again. 

After [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] had received the [Gourd of the Absolute Beginning], as though some kind of ancient spell had been recited, the gourd was constantly releasing a tangerine yellow divine light, like a fountain, striking the grey-copper temple and unexpectedly sending the grey-copper temple flying. This tangerine yellow divine light power was much more terrifying than [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei]'s Dharma body in its strongest state, and seemed to contain some kind of unique divine nature.

Freed from the suppression of the grey-copper temple, Li Xiaofei's arms instantly returned to normal.  

His hands were continuously performing multiple hand seals, activating the gourd with a secret method.

The [Gourd of the Absolute Beginning] was producing increasingly terrifying tide-like roars, as though an ocean was stored inside. The tangerine yellow divine light became more and more raging, submerging the entire grey-copper temple, as if in an attempt to refine it. The grey mist of death, swept by the tangerine yellow divine light, dissipated in an instant, like boiling soup was poured onto the snow. It was obvious that there was an inherent restraining effect.

The situation seemed to have been reversed.  

At this moment, the grey-copper temple was violently shaking. 

“Suppress!” 

An ancient and obscure note sounded from the grey-copper temple.  

It was as though the ancient demon residing in it was producing a curse.  

Boom!  

The endless grey mist of death was surging wildly.

The door of the grey-copper temple was constantly shaking violently, emitting roaring noises, as if a terrifying creature was going to charge out. The grey mist of death was surging like the ocean waves, colliding with the yellow mist of the [Gourd of the Absolute Beginning]. Both were constantly bombarding and destroying each other, like two different divine forces of nature that cannot coexist in the world. 

Very quickly the crooked copper-grey temple stabilized itself. 

It was rotating slowly, like a millstone of death that could grind all materials in the world, as it crushed down again.  

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] let out a thunderous roar, once again activating the [Gourd of the Absolute Beginning]. 

The sound of roaring tide.  

tangerine yellow light gushed out rapidly.  

But soon, there was a crackling noise.  

A crack had formed on the [Gourd of the Absolute Beginning]. 

In fact, there were already cracks and damages on the gourd before. Back when Ye Qingyu was in the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss, the first time he laid eyes on this gourd, he had already noticed the cracks and thought that it was naturally formed. The million-year-old soul could tell that the gourd was activated to its peak, and in fierce confrontation against the grey-copper temple, finally could not withstand any longer. The cracks were seen spreading and expanding...  

Boom!  

A violent quake could be felt. 

The [Gourd of the Absolute Beginning] broke apart, the sound of roaring tide subsided, and the tangerine yellow divine light also dimmed.  

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] roared, cracks appearing across his Dharma body, like it was about to break apart, blood sprinkling across the starry sky.  

“Li Xiaofei is going to lose.” The million-year-old sighed. “It's a pity, the peerless genius is no match for an undispersed soul. If there were no obstruction, he may have really become Emperor. Unfortunately some existence does not allow the emergence of a new martial arts Emperor in this world, especially a martial arts Emperor of the Human Race... We should get ready to leave, this matter cannot be reversed, there may be a calamity coming if we continue to stay.” 

Although he lamented, there was nothing he could do to change the situation. 

After all, he was at his weakest times.  

On the other side, Nan Tieyi had a look of hatred across his face, but his cultivation was far worse and couldn’t withstand against the ripples of Dao sounds in the starry sky. He did not have the ability to protect himself, let alone help out.

“Quickly leave!” 

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] bellowed.

The starry sky was beginning to become unstable.  

The experts of all races felt that there was a strange force that seemed to be removing everyone from this world. Then, several of the experts disappeared involuntarily, including the seriously wounded successor of the Sky Meteor Sect.

The Quasi-emperor's battle was over long ago. [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] and the old man Quasi-emperor were victorious. If the grey-copper temple had not appeared, everything would have ended then, and everybody would have left already. As long as [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] was willing, he could have ended the Quasi-emperor energy field and sent back all the spectating experts. At this moment it was evident that [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] already had this thought, the laws of the heavens and earth of this starry sky had begun to operate, sending the Dharma body of everyone back to the Capital Sky Peak.  

Perhaps he did not want to let the experts of all sides see the final end of his last battle. 

Around the battlefield area, the Dharma body of the experts gradually dimmed, like bubbles, disappearing where they were.

A strange smile all of a sudden formed on the Four Stars holy girl's lips.  

Her figure gradually grew fainter, looking at Ye Qingyu with a gloating face, and a feeling of renewed life after the calamity. She said in a mocking tone, “It would be difficult for Li Xiaofei to pass this tribulation. If he falls that means my Four Stars Sect had not lost... No, we have won, because the Quasi-emperor of my sect had not fallen, he will come back.”  

Then her Dharma body vanished into the starry sky.  

“I can't do anything to help.” The Crown Prince of the Black Demon Abyss roared, struggling, trying to do something, but failed in the end, unable to rush back to the battlefield. His Dharma body had vanished like an illusion, returning to the top of the Capital Sky Peak. 

“I...” Nan Tieyi wanted to say something, unfortunately, there was nothing he could do before he also disappeared.  

In the distance, the [White Jade Capital] successor stood still where she was, gazing at the grey-copper temple in the distance, seemingly thinking of something. Her expression was solemn, but in the end her Dharma body also gradually dispersed.  

“Quickly leave,” [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] bellowed. The [Gourd of the Absolute Beginning] was still emitting the reddest brilliance, protecting his Dharma body, but unfortunately his power was already declining. It was unknown how much longer he could withstand. He swept his gaze across Li Shengyan, Ye Qingyu, and finally fell on the old man Quasi-emperor. “Brother Lu, you can accompany a friend for a thousand kilometers, but eventually you will have to say farewell, all banquets must come to an end, take them all away.”  

Before his voice died away.  

Boom!  

The [Gourd of the Absolute Beginning] was shattered to pieces.  

“Brother Li...” The old man Quasi-emperor sighed, grieving, and even shed a tear.  

But he couldn't risk making a move.  

Because he knew about the horror of the grey-copper temple, and knew the consequences.  

If he were not able to win, it would be a devastating disaster for the Human Race. 

At the present time, the Human Race cannot lose a Quasi-emperor existence. In this world, there were a lot of things that one would and would not do. For example, Li Xiaofei clearly knew that there was going to be danger, but he still went forward. The old man Quasi-emperor knew that if he did nothing Li Xiaofei would die, but as before he still did not do anything.  

Because of the need to keep the flame.  

The flame of the Human Race.  

“Sigh... go!” The old man Quasi-emperor sighed, then with a wave of his hand, an invisible force gushed over, shrouding Ye Qingyu, Li Shenyan and the others.  

“No, wait a minute,” Ye Qingyu struggled.  

“Elder... catch the cauldron.”  

Once again, Ye Qingyu activated the [Cloud Top Cauldron] at all costs, and then threw it over to [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].

This time, compared to the first time when Ye Qingyu threw the cauldron, his strength had increased. Moreover he had observed the battle of life and death between the Quasi-emperors, gained an understanding of the Emperor will, and had activated the violet qi of Quasi-emperor Mushan that he had collected in the [Cloud Top Cauldron] to bring it to its strongest state ever. As a result the giant cauldron had greatly changed, able to break through the grey-copper temple as well as the tangerine yellow divine light, constantly moving closer to [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei]. 

Boom!  

From the [Cloud Top Cauldron], there were strange rumbling sounds.  

It slowly floated over, rotating and spinning.  

Every time it rotated, the cauldron body grew larger. 

In a blink of an eye, the cauldron had grown into a giant bright yellow cauldron of five hundred thousand or six hundred thousand kilometers of height, radiating strange bright yellow aura. It unexpectedly dispelled the deathly grey aura of the grey-copper cauldron, forced aside the blockade of grey deathly mist, and came to [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei]’s side. 

Ye Qingyu was full of anticipation.  

Back in the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss, the [Cloud Top Cauldron] was able to smash open the grey-copper temple, thus it must be able to restrain the grey-copper temple this time. 

Hopefully a miracle will happen.  

The atmosphere was solemn and extremely tensed.  

“Good.” 

Li Xiaofei gave a loud roar, catching the [Cloud Top Cauldron].  

Like wielding a war hammer, he swung the [Cloud Top Cauldron] at the grey-copper temple.  

Boom!  

Amid the roar, there was terrifying power bursting forth.  

“Not good...” Affected by the aftermath, the old man Quasi-emperor was tottering and his mouth overflowed with blood. With his strength, he also could not withstand the impact. “This power is too terrifying and will destroy everything... Go!” He activated a cultivation technique to forcibly bring Ye Qingyu and the others out of this starry sky. If they were to stay any longer, all would be crushed by this frightening force.  

Ye Qingyu could not resist. 

His figure was fading away.  

In the last moment, Ye Qingyu still had his eyes fixed on the distant battlefield, watching the raging deathly grey aura and the surging bright yellow Immortal qi form a mass of chaotic fog. Through this fog, vaguely he saw the door of the grey-copper temple being smashed by the [Cloud Top Cauldron]. Fragments of grey-copper shot across the starry sky, even the walls of the grey-copper temple were shattered. In the midst of the raging rumble, there were devil-like roars as an incredibly terrifying creature charged out from the grey-bronze temple. The enormous beast-like figure was covered in grey fur, rushing into the mist to face [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei]...  

Roar, bellow, laughter, howl!  

All sorts of noises were heard, resembling a battle between the God and demon——
