684 - Burial of an era

Chapter 684, Burial of an era

Upon hearing this sentence, Ye Qingyu's eyes flickered with a glimmer of cold light.

Jiang Xiaohan sharply sensed it. 

For some reason, a hint of fear immediately surged in her heart, feeling somewhat regretful.

But she was still as angry as before, massively furious.

Because no matter what she said before, Ye Qingyu remained calm and indifferent, even when she was mocking Ye Qingyu being a frog at the bottom of a well. But as soon as she mentioned Yu Xiaoxing, it was as though she touched one of his inverted scales, and Ye Qingyu instantly ignited his killing intent. 

Jiang Xiaohan suddenly made a promise to herself that she must make Yu Xiaoxing suffer.

Killing intent surged. 

“Where's Sky Demon ancestor?” Ye Qingyu's eyes like lightning, swept across the old monster. “At this stage, he still dares not to show up, is he just going to hide in the shadows? Someone like him calls himself the Old ancestor?” 

“Kill!” 

In the depths of the Nine Serenities Palace, a hoarse and cruel voice sounded, like an evil God in the Nine Serenities gnawing on the bones and blood of the living. 

When the old monsters heard this voice, they all acted in unison immediately. 

Instantly, demonic aura rushed forth and yuan energy surged.  

All of a sudden in the Nine Serenities Palace, the wind and lightning gathered like a deadly vortex of power in the direction of Ye Qingyu, and a number of tyrannical consciousness power locked Ye Qingyu in place. As though the time and space around his body had condensed and distorted. There was an indescribable terrifying pressure trying to crush and grind up Ye Qingyu's physical body as well as his mind. 

Ye Qingyu also dared not to make the slightest mistake. 

With this thought, he turned his hand over and made a backhand grabbing motion in the void, and the giant [Blood Drinker Sword] appeared in his hand.

Ang---!

The melodious and high-pitched cry of a dragon sounded. 

Ye Qingyu right away transformed into a silver Sky dragon, the [Blood Drinker Sword] accordingly expanded into a hundred-meter-long giant sword. The blood-coloured formation markings flowed wildly, an incredibly strange atmosphere filled the air, sword light flashed, and the chill extinguished, as the merciless sword intent descended like a storm, shrouding everything. 

Bang, bang, bang!  

Three or four of the Snow Ground Ancient Demons were instantly disintegrated into powder, blood spluttering in all directions.  

“How is that possible?”

“What kind of power is this?” 

It was difficult to contain the exclamations of disbelief. 

The violently surging blood-coloured light lit up the terrified old faces. 

The confident Ancient Demons did not expect that, despite preparing for such a long time and after gathering so many experts, the plan that had exhausted their brain was effortlessly destroyed by a Human Race junior. 

Jiang Xiaohan had an abrupt change of expression, subconsciously stepping back. 

Ye Qingyu's dragon body moved closer, waving his sword again. 

From obtaining the three great sword techniques to now, Ye Qingyu had not slacked off from practicing. Now he had already comprehended the peak of the [Human King Sword Mantra].  

At this moment, even under the transformation of the Sky dragon, his mastery of the sword technique was as before and not rusty at all. Although he launched his sword without any showy moves, the extreme power that endlessly erupted out was invincible, impossible to evade or block. It seemed to contain the power of the law. A few old monsters watched the sword light slowly coming over, but were horrified to find that they could not dodge the attack, helplessly watched themselves being struck and then lost consciousness! 

Bang, bang, bang! 

Blood mist once again saturated the air, white bones spattering across. 

“Ah... that's impossible.” 

“Heavens, I can't stop him!”

“Retreat, quickly retreat!” 

The fierce and murderous old monsters moments before, after two moves, had completely lost the courage to fight again.  

As a former leader of an era, they have also had a time in the limelight, experienced life and death. But facing this scene, they knew that there was no need to continue fighting, because this was simply a one-sided massacre. They were terrified to find that the power they gained after awakening, in front of this human youngster, was like an illusory bubble. It was easily broken with just one jab. 

Bang, bang, bang! 

Another three Heaven Ascension Snow Ground Ancient Demons, like slow-reacting puppets, were severed into blood mist that filled the sky. 

Jiang Xiaohan's eyes were wide in horror, frantically retreating. 

“How could this be? Impossible, Ye Qingyu... how could he so strong?” Because of fear and shock, her body trembled in an uncontrollable way. She couldn't believe it all and couldn't accept it all. 

Jiang Xiaohan originally thought that, after experiencing the calamity, and paying such a great price, she was able to get the recognition of that existence and to obtain such powerful strength.  She had imagined that when she once again returned to Heaven Wasteland Domain,  she could stand in front of him again, look down on him again, mercilessly taunt him, make him kneel in front of her begging for mercy, and see a panicked and regretful expression on his always-indifferent face...

However, it never occurred to her that reality would be like this.

Boom boom boom! 

Human King sword intent raged like thunder 

The sword light was suddenly extinguished, untraceable, where it passed there was not one of the old monsters who could defend against the attack.  

“Damn it… run.”

“The plan has failed!” 

“Quickly run, this boy is too terrifying.” 

The old monsters from all over Heaven Wasteland Domain all of them lost their fighting spirits, like startled birds at the twang of a bow. 

They had to admit that, after awakening from the long sleep, although they had regained their strength and life span, the incredibly long slumber time had relentlessly worn down their fighting spirit and will. They could no longer be as arrogant as they used to be and could not ignite the determination to fight to the death that they had in the past. 

At this moment, they suddenly discovered that the era that belonged to them had, perhaps, really disappeared forever.

Ye Qingyu brandished the [Blood Drinker Sword], breaking through the wind. 

Where the sword light was, killing intent followed. 

He showed no mercy. 

These old monsters refused to give up their fantasies, and were determined to return to the chaotic times of the past. Despite degenerating from the pride of Heaven Wasteland martial arts world to becoming the root of trouble, they were unrepentant. The desire for strength and life had distorted their mind. Like a malignant tumour growing in Heaven Wasteland Domain, they must be completely eradicated, or there would be disastrous consequences. 

The Nine Serenities Palace seemed to have become an Asura hell.

Blood stench pervaded the air. 

Death descended.

The old monsters were trying to escape. 

But they were soon shocked to find that, unknowingly, on the stone walls of the Nine Serenities Palace, a layer of light-coloured ice crystal pattern had spread across the walls. The pattern, like a brush, sketched out countless mysterious ice formation markings, covering the four walls of the entire Nine Serenities Palace. The temple turned into an icy cold prison, completely sealed up. 

The way of escape was cut off.

Some people frantically bombarded the ice formation markings, but were propelled away by the force, spurting out blood. 

“You... want to wipe us all out.”

“Junior, you’re so ruthless, you want to kill us all?”

“Merciless!” 

The old monsters sank into a panic state, incredibly furious. 

The trap and killing formation that they had specially prepared for Ye Qingyu had now become their grave instead. 

Ye Qingyu’s eyes flashed mercilessly, the dragon body dove down gracefully, and the sword harvested the lives that had fallen into darkness.

The difference in strength was too great. They were unable to deal a blow to the mighty silver Sky dragon form of Ye Qingyu. Like a group of moths attempting to defeat the tremendous dragon, they instead appeared insignificant and ridiculous. 

“Sky Demon old ancestor still is not showing up?” 

Ye Qingyu's voice echoed throughout the Nine Serenities Palace.

This time he needed to annihilate the enemy thoroughly, completely eradicate these scourges, and fundamentally solve the unrest in Heaven Wasteland Domain. Therefore he was willing to take the risks to come to the Nine Serenities Palace alone. Particularly, the Sky Demon old ancestor had all along been hiding himself and plotting behind the scenes. Ye Qingyu had a hunch that he was a very difficult person to deal with, so he must get rid of him. 

Today's plan was certainly arranged by the Sky Demon old ancestor.

And there was a great possibility that this mysterious existence was also present in the Nine Serenities Palace. Unfortunately besides the hoarse and cold ‘kill’ at the beginning, so far, Ye Qingyu still had been unable to capture his location, so he instead attempted to call him out to figure out his whereabouts. 

But the depths of the Nine Serenities Palace were silent.

In the blink of an eye, more than a half of the forty or fifty old monsters have been killed.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.  

The blood of experts contained endless essence, and even after death, could also kill.

These old monsters were all existences of the Heaven Ascension boundary or higher. Although severed into blood mist, the murderous spirit in the blood did not extinguish as a result, and instead diffused across the void. The piercing cold killing intent in the Nine Serenities Palace was like a real substance, rippling the wall barrier of the void. Jiang Xiaohan felt a burst of stifling pressure, her skin felt as painful as being pricked. She had already lost the power to fight.

She screamed as she stumbled back. 

Ye Qingyu returned to human form.

Sword light and sword intent incessantly, like the great river, swallowed up the void.

“Ah, I regret...” 

“This life had ended like this, I hate.” 

“I’m not willing, I have not made up for the past regret!” 

“Hahaha, this is the will of the heavens, our time has come to an end, dragging out an ignoble life would just increase the humiliation. Since such a talent has appeared in the Human Race of Heaven Wasteland Domain, then let him dominate this era, hahaha... In my next life, I want to live honourably.” 

The tragic roars of the old monsters before death echoed throughout the Nine Serenities Palace. 

In the last moments of their life, some people were unwilling, and some people understood. 

Ye Qingyu finally revealed a look of compassion across his face.

Because he knew that, among these old monsters, some had once walked in the light, but unfortunately one wrong decision had led them to fall to the state they were in. The god of destiny really liked to make a fool of people.

But he still didn't hold back. 

After half an hour. 

All the old monsters were killed. 

Corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river.

The result of this battle, if it were to spread out, was enough to shake Heaven Wasteland Domain.

In a way, the geniuses and heroes who came about in the chaotic era leading up to the establishment of the Snow Empire and eventually survived, after this battle, were almost entirely wiped out. Ye Qingyu had put an end to an era, as well as personally buried an era. 

The only survivor, was Jiang Xiaohan——
