“Emperor Roc, what about me? I’ve focused all my cultivation efforts on the void lineage. What should I change in my cultivation routine to improve?” asked Lady Blackmoon.
“Your case is a little complicated. I think you should try to create a large grotto-heaven now. Furthermore, this grotto-heaven…” Emperor Roc suddenly stopped and looked into the distance.
Huh? Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon also looked in the same direction.
After reaching the Heaven Earth realm, one became extremely sensitive to changes within the world.
The large World Entrance’s expansion had created a small commotion. Although it was difficult for Creation Supremacies to sense it from afar, the three demon Imperial Lords immediately sensed the expansion of Snow Wind Pass’s World Entrance. Imperial Lord Starquix’s eyes lit up in delight. “The sixth super-large World Entrance has appeared.”
“The human world only has nine Creation Supremacies.” Blackmoon was somewhat excited.
“Let’s go.” As Emperor Roc spoke, he waved his hand and grabbed Patriarch Poison Dragon from afar. Patriarch Poison Dragon-who had been cultivating in one of Ice Palace’s roomswas brought to Emperor Roc.
“Imperial Lord.” Patriarch Poison Dragon was somewhat stunned by the sudden change in scenery.
“Let’s go,” repeated Emperor Roc. He transformed into a golden light beam and carried the few figures out of Ice Palace instantly.
Boom!
The golden beam of light was unbelievably fast. Before one reached the Heaven Earth realm, the worldly laws restricted all living beings. Most Creation Supremacies would only be able to travel more than five kilometers in a second.
Once one reached the Heaven Earth realm, one would be able to withstand the worldly laws, no longer suppressed by them. Heaven Earth realm experts were able to unleash their maximum speed due to the lack of suppression. Therefore, Imperial Lords could typically travel thousands of kilometers in a second.
Emperor Roc—whose fame spread across many worlds-could travel 15,000 kilometers in a second after reaching the perfected Heaven Earth realm. Even when he carried Lady Blackmoon, Imperial Lord Starquix, and Patriarch Poison Dragon, he could still travel 10,000 kilometers in a second.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Imperial Lord Starquix affected the flow of time in the surrounding area. Since three Imperial Lords were currently within the affected region, it was extremely difficult for him to affect the flow of time drastically. Imperial Lord Starquix only made time flow eight times faster than the outside world.
Therefore, outsiders would see Emperor Roc and the others—who were within the golden light beam-traveling over 50,000 kilometers per second.
Although the Demon Realm was much larger than the human world, it was only slightly more than 65,000 kilometers from Ice Palace to Snow Wind Pass’s World Entrance. Therefore, they virtually arrived at the entrance instantaneously. “We’re here.” Emperor Roc, Lady Blackmoon, and Imperial Lord Starquix looked at the World Entrance that was over 10 kilometers wide.
Patriarch Poison Dragon was somewhat dumbfounded as he stood beside them. We were in Ice Palace just a moment ago. How did we arrive at Rotten Cypress Mountain in the blink of an eye? This speed is truly terrifying! It’s no wonder the demon sages are obedient, not daring to disobey the three Imperial Lords.
At this moment
Boom!
Four figures flew out of the World Entrance, returning to the Demon Realm. They were all fifth Firmament demon monarchs. These four demon monarchs were in sorry states; they even seemed somewhat horrified. “I never thought Liu Qiyue would be so strong after casting Phoenix’s Nirvana. Despite undergoing a life modification process, I still can’t resist her strength at all.” The skinny firefox demon monarch was somewhat alarmed.
“She’s too strong. If we were any slower, we would have been burned to death.”
“Her strength is probably comparable to Holy Lady Strings or Monarch Peacock.”
The four demon monarchs—who had fled from the human world—were somewhat terrified of Liu Qiyue’s strength.
Without hesitating, the five Firmament demon monarchs had attacked Snow Wind Pass together. However, who would’ve thought that Liu Qiyue would instantly wreck their teamwork after casting Phoenix’s Nirvana?
The firefox demon monarch—who had undergone a life modification process—could withstand about ten moves from a top Creation realm expert. However, he had immediately fled once he discovered Liu Qiyue’s terrifying flames. He didn’t even care about his companions. “We were just standing in front of the entrance. We fled immediately, but one of us still died.”
“Too powerful.”
The four of them had quickly escaped through the World Entrance and returned to the Demon Realm. Only then did they discover the three Imperial Lords and Patriarch Poison Dragon.
“Go, destroy Snow Wind Pass,” ordered Emperor Roc.
“Yes.”
As the four demon monarchs returned to the Demon Realm, Patriarch Poison Dragon charged into the World Entrance.
He was truly fearless. Even if Qin Wu and Li Guan attacked him while he was in the human world, they couldn’t kill him directly. They had to think of a way to trap him first before thinking of ways to kill him.
With the World Entrance behind me, even Qin Wu and Li Guan can’t trap me in the human world. Patriarch Poison Dragon was naturally confident.
After noticing the three Imperial Lords, the four fifth Firmament demon monarchs—who had fled from the human world—bowed respectfully. “Imperial Lords.”
Imperial Lord Starquix waved his hand, and the four demon monarchs retreated to the side in sorry states.
Through the super-large World Entrancewhich was over ten kilometers wide—the three Imperial Lords stared at Snow Wind Pass.
Snow Wind Pass.
Liu Qiyue stood in midair as her dazzling flames soared into the sky. She had used her full strength to kill a fifth Firmament demon monarch instantly. The other four fifth demon monarchs had managed to flee.
“Oh?” Before she could relax, Liu Qiyue instantly discovered a figure rushing through the World Entrance. It was a black-robed, dragon-headed elder.
It’s—! Liu Qiyue’s heart jolted. It’s Patriarch Poison Dragon? The black-robed, dragon-headed elder grinned at Liu Qiyue.
Whoosh.
His body instantly transformed into boundless black water. The black water constantly filled the World Entrance and spread to the sky. In an instant, the black water covered a 50-kilometer radius.
The black water spread in all directions extremely quickly. It was about to envelop the entire Snow Wind Pass. At the same time, poison emanated from the black water. Not good. Liu Qiyue realized that if she didn’t stop him, over ten million people in Snow Wind Pass would die in seconds. After being nurtured by the three Imperial Lords, Patriarch Poison Dragon’s poison was enough to kill weaker demon sages, much less mortals.
Boom!
Liu Qiyue instantly unleashed her flames without restraint.
The flames spread in all directions; they spread at speeds no slower than the black water.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The phoenix flames constantly clashed with the black water, causing the black water to evaporate and turn into a black gas. However, the black gases quickly condensed back into black water. The black water didn’t lose any strength even when it changed between two physical states.
Although the black water didn’t lose any strength, the phoenix flames held the advantage when the two clashed.
Liu Qiyue’s phoenix flames protected the inner city pass as it quickly enveloped the entire Snow Wind Pass. Even underground, a wall of phoenix flames blocked the black water from invading Snow Wind Pass any further.
From city wall to city wall, Snow Wind Pass spanned 75 kilometers. Over ten million people inhabited this large city.
It was very difficult for Liu Qiyue to unleash so much phoenix flames at onc
e. Patriarch Poison Dragon’s black water could extend for hundreds of kilometers. She knew that she had to protect the city completely. Otherwise, the black water would flood Snow Wind Pass, killing all weak living beings that it touched.
Chapter 477 - Choice
The three Imperial Lords watched what was happening in Snow Wind Pass from the other side of the World Entrance.
“Liu Qiyue cast Phoenix’s Nirvana, and has unleashed her phoenix flames without restraint?” When Lady Blackmoon saw this scene, she sent a voice transmission. “Her phoenix flames are protecting Snow Wind Pass, which spans 75 kilometers. She is using an extremely astonishing amount of phoenix flames.”
“That’s right.” Imperial Lord Starquix nodded and sent a voice transmission. “With such a crazy eruption of strength, she will burn her lifespan several times faster than normal.”
During Phoenix’s Nirvana, if one didn’t do anything, the energy expenditure would be minimal. There would be minimal burden on one’s body. It consumed one’s lifespan at a low rate.
If one were to use a massive amount of phoenix flames to protect a massive city-like what Liu Qiyue was currently doing-one’s lifespan would be consumed several times faster than normal.
“She’s going all out just to save over ten million mortals?” Emperor Roc was surprised by her actions, causing him to laugh. “I’m somewhat impressed by this girl.”
“She’s still Meng Chuan’s wife,” said Lady Blackmoon. “Meng Chuan has ruined many of our plans.”
“I’ve read the intelligence on them. Meng Chuan and his wife, Liu Qiyue, were childhood sweethearts. They cultivated together on Archean Mountain and left the mountain together. The relationship between this husband-wife duo is very deep,” said Imperial Lord Starquix via voice transmission. “I’m wondering if Meng Chuan’s personality will change drastically after Liu Qiyue dies to save these mortals. Will his cultivation come to a halt?”
“Back then, King True Martial sank to a nadir because of love.” Emperor Roc smiled and nodded. “However, Meng Chuan rose to prominence much faster than King True Martial. He probably won’t sink into oblivion easily.”
“If he does sink into oblivion, it will be an unexpected gain,” said Lady Blackmoon laughingly via voice transmission.
As Liu Qiyue used her phoenix flames to protect the entire Snow Wind Pass, she drew her bow and shot arrows at the black water.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
She could increase her offensive power by using the arrows.
Her arrows tore through the churning black water, arcing within it. The arrows parted the black water completely. However, the vast black water didn’t suffer any damage.
After casting Phoenix’s Nirvana, Liu Qiyue’s peak Regis Godfiend strength rose to the peak Creation realm. Her arrows had the strength of a threshold Imperial Lord. Every arrow was slightly stronger than Monarch Peacock’s full strength. However, they couldn’t injure Patriarch Poison Dragon at all.
Ah Chuan told me that Patriarch Poison Dragon’s strength increased greatly after the three Imperial Lords nurtured it. It’s undying body practically makes it an unkillable fifth Firmament demon monarch. I can’t do anything to its body. Liu Qiyue understood this when she saw Patriarch Poison Dragon appear. I’m consuming my lifespan too quickly because my phoenix flames are spread across a 100-kilometer radius.
I have to suppress Patriarch Poison Dragon. With a thought, Liu Qiyue immediately attempted to suppress the black water with a large amount of phoenix flames.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The vast Blackwater Body suddenly separated into nine black dragons. Every black dragon was 15 to 20 kilometers long. The black dragons could be seen in Snow Wind Pass’s northern, southern, eastern, and western regions. Some flew in the sky, while some were underground.
A portion of the black water clung to the World Entrance tightly, while another portion coiled around it.
The nine black dragons roared.
No matter how the phoenix flames suppressed them, the nine black dragons remained completely unharmed.
“What’s wrong?”
“What’s happening in the sky?”.
Snow Wind Pass’s countless residents saw golden flames filling the sky. The flames covered everything in the city. Through the flames, one could barely see the churning black water beyond. Soon, the black water transformed into massive black dragons!
Several massive black dragons swam in the sky.
The residents watched everything in horror. “Are ten million mortals really worth you consuming so much of your lifespan? Patriarch Poison Dragon’s voice resounded across the city as he watched Liu Qiyu leisurely.
By massacring Snow Wind Pass’s populationwhich was over ten million-he would gain over a billion credits. Liu Qiyue’s life was of equal worth. Since Liu Qiyue was Meng Chuan’s wife and a Regis Godfiend with a phoenix bloodline, the demons had placed a massive bounty on her-her life was worth one billion credits.
“Is it worth it?” Liu Qiyue didn’t hesitate to protect Snow Wind Pass. When she had first left the mountain with her husband, they had risked their lives at North River Pass. Back then, Godfiends had died in battle.
When she and her husband lived incognito at Gu Mountain Prefecture, they had worked together to kill demon monarchs. They had protected many county cities and prefecture cities during their stay at Gu Mountain Prefecture. During that time, she had also seen many Godfiends die in battle.
Later, when she was in charge of guarding a city, she saw Marquis Godfiends—who were guarding the city-also dying in battle.
The couple had lived to this day, but many of their companions had fallen.
Her fallen companions had sacrificed their lives to fend off the demons and protect the mortals. How could Liu Qiyue retreat?
Boom!
Due to the fact that her phoenix flames had spread across nearly 100 kilometers, Liu Qiyue burned her lifespan at an insane rate. Due to Phoenix’s Nirvana, Liu Qiyue’s body, Essence Soul, and technique realm improved very quickly. Insights into the fire lineage constantly surged into her mind. Liu Qiyue was already a peak Regis Godfiend. With the numerous insights she was gaining, she finally stepped into the Grotto-Heaven realm completely. When under Phoenix’s Nirvana, one experienced no bottleneck during a breakthrough. This was because insights constantly surged into one’s mind when under Phoenix’s Nirvana.
Due to this, Liu Qiyue stepped straight into the Grotto-Heaven realm with the fire lineage. The moment she reached the Grotto-Heaven realm, she naturally gained better control over the phoenix bloodline in her body. As Liu Qiyue controlled her phoenix bloodline’s power more exquisitely, her body transformed rapidly. Her bones turned crystalline, becoming much tougher than before. At the same time, a faint red glow appeared around her body as fiery-red runes appeared between her eyebrows.
Snow Wind Pass is in danger. On the Bloodblade Disc, Meng Chuan maintained his divine power-Flowing Sandas he rushed towards Snow Wind Pass at full speed.
I take nine seconds to reach Snow Wind Pass from the World Gap. Meng Chuan was very anxious. The only thing he could currently do was comfort himself as he rushed to Liu Qiyue. Qiyue is a peak Regis Godfiend. Once she casts Phoenix’s Nirvana, she should be able to deal with all dangers. Nothing serious can happen to her in nine seconds.
Quick, quick, quick. I must get there faster. Meng Chuan kept trying to calm himself, but he remained worried about his wife because he didn’t know what had happened at Snow Wind Pass. He only knew that Snow Wind Pass had sent a life-and-death help request.
Boom.
Snow Wind Pass appeared in front of him.
Meng Chuan immediately saw everything
Massive black dragons-15 to 20 kilometers long-coiled around Snow Wind Pass. The boundless phoenix flames spread in every direction, protecting Snow Wind Pass heavily. Liu Qiyue—the source of the phoenix flamesstood in midair as she blocked the black water.
Whoosh.
All the phoenix flames dissipated as their energy returned to the world.
Huh? Patriarch Poison Dragon was astonished to see all the phoenix flames dissipate. She isn’t protecting the mortals any longer? He looked at Liu Qiyue.
Liu Qiyue was bathed in flames.She was like a fire god as she drew her bow and shot an arrow.
Swoosh.
Golden flames—which seemed sentientinstantly shot towards one of the black dragons. The black dragon didn’t even have time to dodge before it was hit by the arrow.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The arrow pierced the black dragon, and all nine black dragons erupted in golden flames simultaneously.
“Ah-” All nine black dragons let out painful wails at the same time. Their wails echoed throughout the world, and the black water naturally dissipated.
The remaining black water rushed into the World Entrance and fled back to the Demon Realm. At the same time, a roar could be heard from the stream of black water. “Imperial Lords, save me! Please save me, Imperial Lords!”
“What?” The three Imperial Lords on the other side of the World Entrance were somewhat shocked when they saw what happened.
Emperor Roc was alarmed by the golden flames. “Undying Phoenix’s divine fire?”
“Undying Divine Fire?”
Legend had it that it was nearly impossible to extinguish a phoenix’s flame once touched by
“Save me-” The black water stream completely vanished when it was midway through the World Entrance.
The black water was burned to nothingness.
Patriarch Poison Dragon died.
Whoosh.
A weapon and treasures fell to the ground. A dark-cyan bead landed in the World Entrance.
Whoosh.
Liu Qiyue waved her hand, and the treasures flew towards her.
“Qiyue.” Meng Chuan flew in front of Liu Qiyue.
Liu Qiyue made the flames on her body converge as she smiled at Meng Chuan.
Chapter 478 - Growing Old Together
The three Imperial Lords watched this scene through the World Entrance angrily.
