Imperial God Emperor

After a briefconversation, Ye Qingyu said farewell to the Human Race experts and continued on. 

The Human Race experts of Scenery Sect, looking at the back of Ye Qingyu, revealed a look of gratitude.  

“Damn, I forgot to ask for that senior's name. How do we repay him in the future?”

“Yes, too careless... Luckily we met senior, or we would be screwed.” 

“Let’s get out of here, or we'll all be dead.” 

“I remember senior's moves and aura, if I see him in the future, I definitely can recognize him right away. No matter what, today's kindness, even if my bones are broken, I certainly will repay him.”

“En, me too.”

The group of experts, supporting each other, headed down towards the bottom of the Taowu Mountain Range. 

They left with a heavy and bitter feeling in their hearts. The loss this time was too great, but they firmly remembered the figure of Ye Qingyu, his moves and his kindness, and vowed to repay him in the future. 

……

“The Door of Darkness, the Door of Darkness... ah, I remember,” Ye Qingyu mumbled to himself. 

Because he had again and again heard the words Door of Darkness, he suddenly remembered some information about the Door of Darkness that he had been seen in the Administrative Hall of the Black Demon Race.

The so-called Door of Darkness was, in fact, a huge vortex.

In the depths of the 17th district of the Black Demon Abyss, above the Taowu Mountain Range, there was a place where the Black Demon qi was the most turbulent. The abnormality in the Void had led to the formation of a huge vortex, like the eye of the sea, the black hole of the universe, the majority of the time, it was releasing a terrifying suction force, swallowing up all things. 

On normal days, there were no creatures that dared to get too close to the Door of Darkness. 

Rumour had it that the demonic qi vortex lead to the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss, the deepest place of the entire Black Demon Abyss.

The 18th district was the most mysterious place of the Black Demon Abyss, which foreign races had never been in. It was impossible for even the people of the Black Demon Race, except for the current Black Demon Emperor, to enter——Even the current Black Demon Emperor also only had one chance to enter, and after coming out, he absolutely must not disclose the slightest information. 

So nobody knew what was exactly in the 18th district. 

There were all sorts of rumours. Some said that the 18th district was the resting place of the former Black Demon Emperor, and that the coffin of the Black Demon Emperor was stored there. Others said that it was the cemetery of the sages of the Black Demon Race, and some said that it was a treasury of the Black Demon Race for thousands of years. But there were more people that believed that it was where the secrets of Fiendgods was buried when the Black DemonEmperor killed the ancient God and Demon Race...

Nobody knew what the truth was. 

There were also arrogant people who had tried to enter there.

Among them, there were some outstandingly powerful evildoers who were full of themselves and thought that they had the favour of Heaven. Driven by various reasons, they tried to find out about the mystery, and in spite of the obstruction of the Black Demon Race, forced their way through the Door of Darkness in order to explore the 18th district, but were unfortunately never seen again ever since.  

No matter how powerful they were, every one of them vanished without a trace, and not one person had ever come out before. 

And the most staggering knock on the Door of Darkness happened around four thousand years ago.  

The person involved in that incident was a Human Race Quasi-emperor called Li Xiaofei, who was unmatched in his generation, and was known as the God of the Human Race. He was greatly talented, possessed powerful strength, and was ranked in the top ten of the great wide world. 

In the life of the peerless genius, he had defeated countless powerful enemies, and had not lost once. He was illustrious and his power made the Domain Alliance tremble, and was given the title [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei]. He was considered by the whole wide world as the most exceptional genius for nearly one hundred thousand years in the post-martial arts Emperor era and the one most likely to stabilize the position of Martial Arts Emperor. 

It was said that when [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] Li Xiaofei wanted to enter the Door of Darkness, the Black Demon Race dared not to stop him.

It was said that the former Black Demon Emperor once met Li Xiaofei to try to persuade him to change his mind, but failed. Later the Black Demon Race was not resentful, and even specifically sent experts of the race to guide the [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] to the Door of Darkness.

According to some rumours at that time, the reason why [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] must enter the Door of Darkness was because he was certain that in the 18th districtof the Black Demon Abyss there were traces of the ancient Human Race’s supreme Three Sovereigns and FiveEemperors. He wanted to find information on the supreme Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Human Race.

This matter once caused a sensational in the Domain Alliance. 

That very day, countless experts of various major clans all came to watch the ceremony.

Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] was indeed a peerless talent of his generation. He chose the most dangerous Door of Darkness to break into. At that time, space-time split open, Black Demon qi faded, the Quasi-emperor’s aura diffused, and all the things living beings were scared into submission. Illuminated in divine light and clad in black robes, Li Xiaofei soared skywards, stepping into the Door of Darkness. 

His flowy black clothes, fluttering silver hair, and his rear figure had once shocked countless people. 

And when he finally entered and disappeared in the Door of Darkness, he turned his head around and left a strange smile, seemingly to remind them of something, but also to let the future generations decipher the meaning!

But unfortunately, although Li Xiaofei eventually succeeded in entering the Door of Darkness, the end result was the same as always. He was gone forever. 

Many people had great hopes that the Quasi-emperor would be the first person to enter the 18th districtof the Black Demon Abyss and return, but things turned out contrary to what they wished.

The descendants of the Quasi-emperor had been waiting for hundreds of years at the Door of Darkness, but did not see the figure of their ancestor. In the end, they did not hesitate to initiate the blood sacrifice summon, using the blood of three Saints in the clan to try to contact their ancestor. Unfortunately, they could only summon a mysterious broken hay gourd, which contained a drop of the Quasi-emperor’s blood... 

No one knew what [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] had encountered, but it was clear that it was not a good sign.

The broken hay gourd was also the first treasure ever to erupt from the demon tide. 

Most importantly, it looked old and worn out, but it could hold the blood of the Quasi-emperor, causing speculation and coveting from all sides. 

The descendant of the [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] guarded the hay gourd for thousands of years, but in the end their power declined and were unable to protect the relic of their ancestor. They lost the treasure, and together with it lost that drop of blood from [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].

After thousands of years, the rumours about the Door of Darkness had never stopped.

This was the information that Ye Qingyu gathered from that Administrative Hall of the Black Demon Race. 

When Ye Qingyu first saw the story and legend of [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], he also felt great regret. The emergence of a Quasi-emperor amongst  the Human Race was incredibly rare. It was a huge pity that such a character was buried in the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss.  

At the same time, Ye Qingyu also could not help but think that in the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss there really were traces of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] must have known about some kind of secret or clue for him to take the risk.  

Originally, Ye Qingyu thought that he would not need to go to the 17th district of the Black Demon Abyss or see the Door of Darkness for the assessment, but he was wrong, he was still going to that place after all. 

Ye Qingyu walked deeper into the Taowu Mountain Range. 

A lonely shadow. 

Stepping on blood in his path. 

At this time, the whole Black Demon Abyss Taowu Mountain Range had been turned into an Asura blood prison.

Countless creatures and experts were fighting here. 

Ye Qingyu already saw that along a way, the treasures that erupted from the demon tide was just a trigger. Like a spark, it had ignited the desire of the experts that had come here. They had begun to kill and plunder that now, even if there was treasure erupting out the demon tide, the killing here would not cease.

It was a bloodbath. 

Blood-coloured mist pervaded the air. 

There were howls and killings everywhere. 

The experts who got the treasures of the demon tide were killed and the treasures taken away.

The experts who did not get the treasure were also killed and everything on their body was divided. 

Demon experts were killed, demon bones and even the demon skin were taken away, and even the flesh and blood were cooked and divided among the survivors.

Human Race experts were killed, skinned and their tendons pulled out to be used as materials for refining pills...

The feeling was almost identical to what he felt during the frantic massacre at the Storm Sword Duel gathering of Greater One Sector in Clear River Domain, and perhaps even more berserk. Countless figures frantically shuttled across Taowu Mountain Range. There was fighting everywhere and blood was gushing down the mountain ridges like a river had flooded its banks. 

Ye Qingyu was also attacked every now and then.

Boom! 

He threw out a punch. 

The force of the fist, like a rolling thunder, blasted a blood-colored fist mark in the Void. 

A figure hidden in the demonic qi trying to launch a sneak attack was directly sent flying before he had a chance to attack. 

Instead of retaliating, Ye Qingyu continued ahead. 

Along the way he had to cope with all sorts of sudden attacks. 

He constantly punched out, sending the berserk attackers flying. 

On this Taowu Mountain Range, the Black Demon qi in the air was increasingly dense and surging violently. The suppressive force was much stronger that even Immortal Step realm experts would feel that their yuan qi was suppressed by more than half. Therefore, Ye Qingyu, who had sealed his yuan qi and depended only on physical power, was instead somewhat invincible. 

He charged ahead, sweeping away all obstacles. 

Occasionally he would encounter some evenly matched experts, exchanged a few moves, and when both sides knew that the other side was not easy to deal with, they would give up the intention of fighting and very tacitly retreated. 

Soon, Ye Qingyu was about to reach the Fierce Beast Peak of the Taowu Mountain Range. 

The Fierce Beast Peak was the highest point of the Taowu Mountain Range, which from afar looked like the head of the Taowu beast roaring skywards. It was also the center of the highest area of the entire Taowu Mountain Range. The several Doors of Darkness that emerged following the eruption of the demon tide were all situated on the Fierce Beast Peak.

Ye Qingyu stopped and looked at the Fierce Beast Peak from afar. 

Vaguely, he saw that under the Black Demon qi, there were various brilliances flickering in the Void. It was clear that many top experts had erupted out with their own strength. Each occupied a position, and stood opposite each other in confrontation.

And there were seven huge black space-time vortexes swirling in sky above them. 

They seemed to be the eyes of the ancient dark beast, also like the beating hearts of the gods, slowly constricting and expanding...

It was the legendary Doors of Darkness ——
