Imperial God Emperor

All of a sudden, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.  

What was this all about? 

Why did the [Dragon Blood Halberd] erupt out such a terrifying force all of a sudden, and directly struck the Third Princess of the Dragon-Human clan? Logically speaking, as a descendant of the Dragon-Human clan, the Third Princess should have had an extremely high status and able to obtain the recognition of the [Dragon Blood Halberd]. 

Ye Qingyu was just as surprised.

The power that gushed out from the [Dragon Blood Halberd] was extremely terrifying and powerful, striking the unguarded Third Princess. If it were not for the protection of the blood-red dragon scale armour, all her bones might have been broken.

Buzz Buzz Buzz. 

The [Dragon Blood Halberd] broke away from the grasp of the Third Princess and floated in the Void, slightly vibrating.  

Layers upon layers of blood-red flames spread out from the halberd, and red light waves that were visible to the naked eye continued to shoot out in all directions. It was as though there was some sort of power within the [Dragon Blood Halberd] being awakened, and as if there was an ancient will about to explode; it was extremely bizarre.

“What's going on?” 

The Third Princess of the Dragon-Human clan roared out in disbelief, blood trickling down the corners of her mouth. 

“Quick, grab the halberd first.” The cunning old man of the Dragon-Human clan was the first to react. With a loud roar, his body flashed like lightning, and jerked towards the [Dragon Blood Halberd] that was suspended in midair. The several other experts also responded upon hearing this, immediately flashing over to the [Dragon Blood Halberd]. All of them were activating yuan qi unique to the Dragon-Human clan in an attempt to control the [Dragon Blood Halberd]. 

But——

Boom!

Another burst of tyrannical power erupted. 

All the Dragon-Human experts who charged over, before they could react, were directly propelled away by the tremendous force. Their mouths overflowed with blood, spurting out arrows of blood, and had evidently sustained quite severe injuries. They slammed back to the ground with a thud, and stumbled back several steps, with a look of shocked disbelief across their faces. 

“Why? Why did the treasure of my clan rebel against us?”  

“According to the records of the clan, one only need dragon blood qi to control the [Dragon Blood Halberd]. It is a unique treasure of the Dragon-Human clan, and has protected my Dragon-Human clan for countless years. Now... how would this happen?” 

“Could this halberd be a fake?”

“No, impossible, whether it is the shape or aura, it is the same as what is recorded. It definitely is not a fake. It is impossible for outsiders to replicate the halberd... But, why did that happen? No, it shouldn't be.” The old man's chest was heaving up and down violently, as he panted heavily. Looking at the [Dragon Blood Halberd], which was suspended in midair dozens of meters away, he could not understand why such a thing would happen.

And at that moment, with the halberd as the center, a strange aura was spreading to the surroundings, forming a surging protective circle. The experts of the Dragon-Human clan had repeatedly tried, but in the end simply could not get close to the [Dragon Blood Halberd]. That kind of powerful and vast force was simply not something that they could resist and invade with their ability.

In the distance. 

Why did the power of the [Dragon Blood Halberd] erupt all of a sudden? 

Huh? 

What was going on here? 

Ye Qingyu stared in puzzlement at the halberd, which had formed a self-protective state. 

Logically speaking, the [Dragon Blood Halberd], which had a spiritual nature, should only recognize the descendants of the Dragon-Human clan, and Ye Qingyu had confirmed that these people were indeed descendants of the Dragon-Human clan and not impostors——The faint dragon aura emitting from their body and the martial skills unique to the Dragon-Human clan could not be imitated by outsiders. 

This was interesting. 

At this moment, nobody could understand what was going on. 

It was also at this very moment that a surprising change happened again. 

Buzz Buzz Buzz. 

The halberd that was surrounded by people of the Dragon-Human clan suddenly and violently shook. The surrounding space began to twist and distort. Everything blurred in front and then the [Dragon Blood Halberd] seemed to have sensed something, transformed into a ray of black and gold light and sped to where Ye Qingyu was, landing on his hand. 

“It's...” 

Ye Qingyu was stunned. 

He instinctively grasped the [Dragon Blood Halberd]d. 

Traces of mysterious and warm aura, like strands of silk and ripples of water, flowed out from his palm. Although it was not considered intimate, it seemed to be a form of recognition and respect.

Ye Qingyu also understood something. 

The [Dragon Blood Halberd] did not acknowledge the Third Princess of the Dragon-Human clan.

“Haha, hahahaha, this is too interesting, ahahaha, I'm dying from laughter. Little girl, it seems that the [Dragon Blood Halberd] does not like you, ahahaha. I know, it must be because your strength is too weak, and your personality is too bad. Haha, this halberd is indeed worthy of being called a treasure of the Dragon-Human clan. It has a spiritual nature. It knows that you guys are scum and don't deserve it at all, so it does not want to leave with you.” Old Fish, who was watching everything from the side, burst into laughter with a gloating expression on his face.

This old man would always seek revenge for the smallest grievance. The Third Princess had mocked him before, how would he let go of such an opportunity to ridicule the Third Princess. 

“Nonsense.” The Third Princess was both shocked and enraged. 

The old man’s face was so dark and gloomy that water was soon dripping out. He fixed a piercing stare at Ye Qingyu and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Madman Ye, you are messing with us? Is that right? How dare you, you dare to plant such a formation around the treasure of my clan, preventing it from returning to the Dragon-Human clan. Good, very good, you want to start a war with the Dragon-Human clan, is that right?” 

All of the people of the Dragon-Human clan flew into a rage out of humiliation. 

All of a sudden, the Third Princess and the four experts beside her, one after another, revealed expressions of fury and embarrassment, released their battle intent, and wanted to snatch the halberd back. 

“Ye Qingyu, you dare to snatch a sacred item of my Dragon-Human clan!” 

“Hand it over!” 

“Scumbag, what evil technique did you use to control the [Dragon Blood Halberd]!”

The atmosphere suddenly turned hostile.  

Empress Yu Xiaoxing was also enraged when she saw this scene.

She secretly issued an order, and soon experts of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps were quietly gathered around the hall. Ever since leaving Heaven Wasteland Domain, they had experienced countless ups and downs along the way. The Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps had built up enough self-confidence and dignity, that they would never let outsiders humiliate and falsely accuse them. 

Now, with an order from Ye Qingyu, even if it was to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, the people of Heaven Wasteland Domain would not have the slightest hesitation.

And Ye Qingyu, who was watched by countless eyes, still had not reacted to the accusations made by the Third Princess and the others of the Dragon-Human clan.

He looked down at the [Dragon Blood Halberd], gently stroking it with the palm of his hand with a deeply moved expression on his face. He let out a sigh, and finally put away the [Dragon Blood Halberd] directly into the [Cloud Top Cauldron]. 

The Third Princess and the others were infuriated when they saw this scene. 

“You... how dare you really swallow the treasure of my clan, you... do you want to fight against my Dragon Blood Imperial Court?” The Third Princess fumed. The duck in her hand had got away, and her plot and effort had gone to waste. She was so mad that she almost vomited blood. 

“Haha, the old monster is right, you do not deserve to take away the [Dragon Blood Halberd]. The halberd has a spirit nature, and does not acknowledge scum like you. Go back, tell someone of the Dragon-Human clan who truly has virtue and status to come and see if the [Dragon Blood Halberd] is willing to return to the Dragon Blood Imperial Court,” Ye Qingyu said indifferently as before.

“What? What do you mean?” The expression on the Third Princess's face had changed greatly.

The face of the old man of the Dragon-Human clan was also twisted with impatience and anger, “Boy, I advise you to not make a mistake... Obediently hand over the [Dragon Blood Halberd], otherwise, there will be a bloodbath in Heaven Wasteland Domain, and it will be erased from the world.”

“Is that so? Then let's wait and see.” Ye Qingyu did not want to say anything more to the experts of the Dragon-Human clan. “Leave the Green Xuan Hall within ten seconds, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite. This is the encampment of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic  corps, even if a ruckus is made and the Alliance Council is notified, the one at fault would not be my Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps. Hehe, what? Do you want to try?” 

With that, Ye Qingyu brought out the defensive token and injected a hint of yuan qi into it.

The formation markings on the token began to heat up, and then several thin rays of gold light, like strands of hair, shot out in all directions. 

The next moment, in the square in front of Green Xuan Hall. 

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh! 

Six black bronze statues were suddenly awakened from deep slumber, and under the guidance of Ye Qingyu, turned into streams of light, arriving at the door of the reception hall. Their thick body was as gentle as a feather, but their oppressive force was as great as being crushed by an immemorial mountain. 

An aura and pressure that were close to that of a Saint expert instantly shrouded the entire reception hall.  

“Not good, this... it's the black gold battle puppets! The Human Race has actually given this sort of thing to the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps?” The sinister looking, white-browed old man trembled with a face full of shock, and a trace of fear seemed to be passing across his eyes. 

“What? The black gold battle puppets? The legendary divine guards of the Human Race? How can it be? Didn’t they say that only Ren Puyang has it? This...” The Third Princess and the other experts turned ashen upon hearing these words. 

Others may not know about the power of the black gold battle puppets, but they did.

It was a valuable treasure handed down from the era of the Human Race Formation Emperor Luosu. It could be described as a true killing machine. It was unknown how many foreign race experts had fallen under the blades of the metal army. Across the whole world, anybody who understood the power would be deterred by the terrifying puppets.

The Third Princess had an unwilling look on her face, but as her eyes swept over the black bronze puppets, her greed in the end was defeated by her fear.

“Humph! You have taken the sacred item of my clan and now want to silence us? Ye Qingyu, you will be sorry!”

The Third Princess glowered at him, her aura piercing cold. Although unwilling to leave, she was also aware of the current situation. At this moment she had no choice but to put away the tough talk, and go back to give the matter further thought.
