Chapter 1208 - The Fall of a Martial Emperor

"Girl, be careful!" Ye Qingyu turned behind and shouted loudly.

"I'll be fine," Song Xiaojun's eyes blazed with dark flames and she forced herself to stay out of this battle.

She had also activated the power of her blood, but since she had yet to become an Emperor, she could be crushed like vermin by these Martial Emperors. If she joined the battle, she might even become a burden to him.

She was extremely worried for him.

As though the ancient fiery Phoenix had been stunned into silence by the power of the battle between Martial Emperors, she had surprisingly stopped trying to struggle against her restraints and quietly remained still under the protection of the [Cloud Top Cauldron].

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The rocky planets were blasted into smithereens.

The sword light flashed and the silver divine dragon let out a long howl that sounded like the hiss of a sword.

The burly Martial Emperor's attack was instantly destroyed.

"We've only just begun," he yelled loudly and grabbed at the void.

The shattered pieces of the rocky planets immediately swarmed toward his palm to form an incredibly huge rocky planet. This planet was even bigger than the burly Martial Emperor himself and he raised this huge planet with both hands as though he was an ancient divine giant lifting a blazing sun. The humongous rocky planet started to swivel madly and then, the burly Martial Emperor launched this giant planet at Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu stood like a fiendgod in space and ordinary planets were as large as chicken eggs next to him, but they were much smaller compared to this huge rocky planet. Next to this rocky planet, all other planets seemed like flickering rocks in space.

"Split!" he did not dare to hesitate and held his [Blood Drinker Sword] with both hands. His figure flashed and his incredibly large figure was surprisingly agile.

There as a flash of blinding splendor and he charged forward instead of retreating. He slashed out with his sword and cut the rocky planet into two from the middle. He moved like a ray of flowing light and instantly appeared in front of the burly Martial Emperor.

His sword radiance was incredibly astonishing and contained the will of the people that had the power to destroy gods and demons alike.

The burly Martial Emperor looked very grim and hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose not to face this blow head-on. He dodged this blow and his figure faded away magically and his illusory figure was slashed into dust by the sword. He then reappeared behind Ye Qingyu with his arms outstretched and clapped his palms together in Ye Qingyu's direction, releasing mighty Dao sounds that rumbled like thunder.

The two halves of the rocky planet that Ye Qingyu had destroyed earlier had silently crept up beside him and as the burly Martial Emperor slapped his palms together, the two halves also slammed together, sandwiching Ye Qingyu between them like a meat pie.

Rumble!

Dao sounds echoed like thunder.

Ye Qingyu was trapped within the rocky planet.

"Brother Qingyu..." Song Xiaojun yelled loudly, her concern clouding her judgment.

The burly Martial Emperor's face hardened coldly and he kept his palms together in a prayer pose. His fingers continued to create all kinds of handprints and soon, countless handprints appeared from his hands and entered the huge rocky planet. His Emperor qi exploded everywhere, the chains of laws circled around like a dragon, while the broken rocks that floated in space wrapped around the huge rocky planet many times over like an earthen formation.

"The laws of the earth, the seal of the planet... capture!" he yelled loudly.

This was his Martial Emperor way and his personal and most powerful Emperor technique.

The rocky planet shook madly as though a terrifying creature was struggling to break free, but this creature was continually knocked back into the rocky planet by the endless stream of earth formation and Emperor chains. He failed to break free, but rays of silver sword light continued to pierce through the rocky planet. However, the moment an opening appeared on the rocky planet, the earth would flow like ripples on a pond to quickly cover the gap.

"Even a Martial Emperor would not be able to escape from the seal I've laid around the planet. So there's no use struggling... you should just give up," the burly Martial Emperor said confidently.

In front of Ye Qingyu he seemed week, looked like he had been provoked, and seemed as though he didn't dare to meet Ye Qingyu's sword head-on, but he had merely been putting on an act. Those who had managed to become Martial Emperors would have experienced countless battles and weathered all sorts of turbulence in life, so why would he have lost all sense of reason in a moment of anger?

His plan had finally worked.

The rocky planet continued to tremble and shake and a terrifying force exploded from within it, as though he was about to escape but the burly Martial Emperor constantly pumped his Emperor qi through the Emperor formation chains like a spider keeping a close eye on its prey. Layers of earth continued to repair any openings within the rocky planet like a large web and prevented Ye Qingyu's counter attacks from reaching the surface of the planet. He continued to trap Ye Qingyu within the planet and made escape impossible for him.

"You've only just become an Emperor and have yet to stabilize your Emperor qi. You might have transformed from a fish into a dragon, but since you can't soar in the air, you're still nothing but a fish," the burly Martial Emperor said as he continued to send handprints into the rocky planet and exerted his most powerful personal Emperor technique.

In the distance, dozens of deserted primitive planets were drawn by the power of his Emperor qi, and they were pulled out of their original orbit like swallows returning to their nests and rapidly swarmed toward the large rocky planet at the speed of flowing lights. They crashed against the rocky planet like meteors and were destroyed by the Emperor qi, before becoming part of the rocky planet.

In the blink of an eye, the surface area of the rocky planet increased by more than ten times.

The burly Martial Emperor's figure had been extremely large, so those naturally formed planets were as big as chicken eggs in front of him. However, when he stood in front of this rocky planet, his figure was like a small hill in front of a ten thousand-meter tall mountain.

The divine abilities of a Martial Emperor were incredibly powerful and earth-shattering. He could reverse the forces of nature, reach out to grab the moon, sun and planets, and cause heaven and earth to tremble and create planets with a single thought. He could then use huge planets as a weapon against his opponents. This was something that ordinary martial artists would never be able to do and these divine abilities were something that they couldn't even begin to fathom.

"Brother Qingyu!" Song Xiaojun screamed in horror and she was extremely worried for him.

She had weathered through all kinds of storms and had almost lost her life countless times as the Emperor of the Unmoving City of Darkness, so she was already immune to all these dangers and storms, but at that moment, her concern for Ye Qingyu overrode her judgment. She was no longer able to stand idly by and attempted to charge forward into the battlefield many times. She didn't mind dying along with Brother Qingyu, but she was unable to break free from the defensive light ring of the [Cloud Top Cauldron].

"Ha ha ha, you had always been so arrogant in the past but now, the tables have turned and you're the one being suppressed. Young men do lose their cool too easily," the sovereign of the Sky-reaching clan relaxed and nodded his head.

The sovereign of the Dark Feather clan heaved a sigh of relief. This young man was a newly minted Martial Emperor, so there was still a huge difference in strength between him and the veteran Martial Emperors, especially in the aspects of the power of Dao laws and exerting of Emperor techniques. Now that the burly Martial Emperor had trapped him with his Emperor technique, Ye Qingyu was as good as dead.

"No matter how hard you struggle, all your efforts will come to naught," the burly Martial Emperor said with a confident smile.

At the same time, a ray of silver splendor suddenly broke the rocky planet apart and hurtled toward the burly Martial Emperor at lightning speed. That ray of silver splendor had circled around his neck even before the smile was wiped from the burly Martial Emperor's face, then his head that was as large as a huge planet immediately fell from his body...

Everything happened so quickly that it was over before anyone could react.

"What?" the sovereign of the Sky-reaching clan exclaimed in shock.

The sovereign of the Dark Feather clan looked like he had just seen a ghost.

They had clearly sensed that the burly Martial Emperor's life force and Emperor Dao aura had dissipated so rapidly after his head was separated from his body that it seemed to be beyond belief. The large body that was now missing a head stumbled backward in space like a drunken man and tried to grab futilely at something but failed to do so. Soon, a silent vibration appeared and the burly Martial Emperor's large body collapsed in the void like a golden mountain or a jade pillar toppling over.

Rumble!

The rocky planet that had been holding Ye Qingyu captive suddenly split open and he emerged unscathed from the planet, still holding the [Blood Drinker Sword] in his hands. His black hair and white robes were now stained with mud and dust, but he didn't seem to have sustained any injuries. He abruptly opened his mouth the moment he emerged and swallowed the ray of flowing light that had killed the burly Martial Emperor.

At the same time, the [Blood Drinker Sword] burst forth and transformed into a large silver divine dragon that then pierced through the large corpse of the fallen burly Martial Emperor. Mysterious energy waves sparkled and spread outward, then the burly Martial Emperor's body that had been as a large as a planet quickly shrank like an apple that had all its water sucked out of it.

This whole process happened in the span of one breath.

The [Blood Drinker Sword] had already returned to Ye Qingyu's hands by the time the sovereign of the Sky-reaching clan, the sovereign of the Dark Feather clan and Song Xiaojun came back to their senses and it let out gentle and low hisses as it vibrated in his hands, like a creature who had just eaten its fill and dazzling splendor circulated all over its sword body.

The burly Martial Emperor's body had completely turned into dust that scattered and floated around meaninglessly in space along with the shattered rock pieces and planets in the void.

"A veteran Martial Emperor is not that powerful after all," Ye Qingyu said with a smile as he stood in space with his sword.

When he spoke, Dao sounds rolled off his tongue and as his black hair and white robes danced in the air, he seemed absolutely invincible.

Song Xiaojun shrieked in excitement like an exhilarated child.

The sovereign of the Sky-reaching clan and the sovereign of the Dark Feather clan looked incredibly grim as they took in this scene.

When they exchanged a glance, the contempt and confidence were now wiped from their eyes. The silver splendor that Ye Qingyu had unleashed earlier had managed to kill a Martial Emperor in one blow and this was a feat that seemed incredibly unbelievable. What kind of technique was that and how did he manage to unleash such power?

Even if a Martial Emperor had been beheaded and was unable to grow another head, he could transform his belly button into a mouth and his nipples into eyes to continue battling. There was a famous Emperor in the ancient times who had once achieved this feat, but the burly Martial Emperor had been killed immediately after Ye Qingyu had overcome his Emperor qi and had his spirit and body both completely annihilated. This was a terrifying feat and signified that it was very likely that Ye Qingyu had a weapon or a technique that could fatally kill Martial Emperors.

"I didn't expect you to have such an amazing treasure that could kill the Dark Yellow Emperor in one blow. Unfortunately, there are three of us here today but your supreme treasure could only be used once. Therefore, you've lost your chance," the sovereign of the Sky-reaching clan said with a cold laugh.

He hadn't managed to detect anything earlier and had only made this statement to test Ye Qingyu's reaction.

He stared intently at Ye Qingyu after he made his statement. He didn't want to miss any change in Ye Qingyu's expression and hoped that he could detect something from Ye Qingyu's expression that would prove his theory correct.
