The palace slowly rose from the abyss. The enormous palace appeared before everyone’s eyes, bringing an overwhelming sense of shock. The palace towered high and vast, seizing the soul. In particular the bloody and intent aura it emitted was utterly terrifying, as if it could sweep across all directions.
Everyone stared blankly at this magical palace. They felt the intent vibrating from it. Even though they had not reached the realm where they could comprehend dao and law, they could still sense that this palace nurtured dao and law within it. This made their hearts palpitate and every face turned bloodless.
“Azure Flame Divine Palace!”
Legends about this divine palace had circulated for a long time. Some recognised it and cried out in alarm as they stared in horror at the divine palace slowly emerging from underground, about to collide with the continent beneath their feet.
The problem they feared truly occurred. The divine palace collided with the earth. The ground shook madly but did not shatter, not even a single green stone fell. Instead it began to condense. The continent that spanned dozens of kilometres started shrinking continuously. Ye Chu and the others on it felt this condensation.
In a short time this basin valley of dozens of kilometres shrank to a mere dozens of metres sized eight trigrams array. At the centre of the eight trigrams array lay the coffin with the corpse inside still blood red.
Ye Chu and the others all stood within this small area of dozens of metres. No one fought each other anymore. Everyone was shaken by the bizarre scene before them. They stared blankly ahead as the land of only dozens of metres slowly moved to the side of the palace ahead and then settled into a position on the palace. The coffin lay horizontally on it. It seemed perfectly inlaid together without the slightest flaw, fitting extremely well.
“It comes from the Azure Flame Divine Palace?”
Both the Ice Emperor and Fox Emperor were shocked as they slowly looked at the coffin inlaid on the Azure Flame Divine Palace. This was too shocking. What kind of person was this? What exactly was his connection to the Azure Flame Divine Palace?
The Fox Emperor and Ice Emperor naturally knew the legends of the Azure Flame Divine Palace. Yet they had always thought it was only legend and perhaps did not exist in the world. How could they have expected to encounter such a forbidden land?
Although they were emperors who shook their respective regions, when facing something like a forbidden land they were like ants. What was a forbidden land? It represented the most dangerous, most bizarre and most mysterious places in the world, miraculous lands that humans could not explore at all.
Even supreme experts who entered them faced nine deaths and one life, let alone them.
Both their faces turned grave. Facing such an unknown thing every person felt a bad premonition in their hearts. Some cultivators were so frightened by the legends of the divine palace that their courage nearly broke. They were scared out of their wits and collapsed to the ground with dazed expressions.
However some cultivators grew excited. A divine palace was a forbidden land and forbidden lands generally represented great opportunities. If one could emerge alive from a forbidden land they might leap to become a peerless expert.
Such encounters had happened to people before so they looked forward to it.
“Look! Chaotic azure qi!” Someone cried out in shock while looking in one direction and shouting loudly. Ye Chu followed the person’s gaze and saw that from one part of the palace chaotic azure qi was continuously surging out. Amid the surging it seemed as if entire worlds were churning, extremely shocking and spectacular.
Chaotic azure qi nurtured the strange powers of heaven and earth. Everyone felt their minds and spirits affected as if heaven and earth were beckoning to them.
Chaotic azure qi surged continuously from one spot on the palace covering the peak of the deep palace and shrouding the entire palace in a layer of chaotic azure clouds. Within it nurtured miraculous dao laws and profound principles.
The value of chaotic azure qi naturally went without saying. It was something even supremes coveted. Many cultivators at this moment forgot that this was a forbidden land. Seeing this item their expressions grew excited and their gazes burned as they stared at the chaotic azure qi. They wished they could pounce forward.
Ye Chu watched this scene and could not help letting out a scoff. He had seen the might of chaotic azure qi before and knew that a single strand could crush a mountain. Without special methods only the Fox Emperor and Ice Emperor present could absorb even a strand. For others it would simply be courting death.
At this moment as chaotic azure qi surged if someone went forward how could they absorb just a single strand? As soon as they were struck by the surging chaotic azure qi they would undoubtedly die.
However these surging chaotic azure qi currently looked like clouds and mist appearing completely without danger.
Chaotic azure qi continued to surge. Some felt that amid the surging the binding force of the ground beneath their feet grew weaker and weaker. This filled them with great joy. The coffin slowly sank into the ground and was buried in one part of the palace.
Everyone no longer had the mind to pay attention to this. What they cared about was only the chaotic azure qi before their eyes. Without the binding of the ground they each leapt and rushed towards the chaotic azure qi.
One after another they were excited to the extreme wanting to seize a strand of chaotic azure qi. Because everyone knew that obtaining this thing could bring transformation and might even turn one into a heroic talent.
Chaotic azure qi had exactly such divine effects. It could turn every impossibility into possibility and could nurture far too many things.
……
“Ah… ah…” Several cultivators went over but soon met tragedy. They wanted to extract chaotic azure qi but as soon as the surging chaotic azure qi touched their bodies they were instantly crushed and suppressed turning into blood rain that dyed the palace.
This scene did not restore reason to the remaining cultivators. They remained fervent only because the value and temptation of this item were too great. They charged forward unleashing their power wanting to draw a strand of chaotic azure qi.
Yet as soon as their power touched the chaotic azure qi the chaotic azure qi instantly shattered their power and then surged in that direction directly killing them.
Blood rain carrying thick bloody stench spread out finally restoring some reason to a few people. They exchanged glances and no longer acted blindly. Instead they turned their gazes to the strongest here, the Fox Emperor and Ice Emperor.
The Fox Emperor and Ice Emperor were also shaken at this moment. They had never imagined there was such an absolute supreme treasure here. No one could face such a supreme treasure without their expression changing. Although the Fox Emperor came from Fox Mountain and had seen countless treasures even those left by ancestral supremes, facing chaotic azure qi she was still moved and could not control her heart.
The Ice Emperor need not be mentioned. He had cultivated to this point and had almost reached his limit. But if he could obtain chaotic azure qi he might advance another level. If he could break through one more realm then…
The Ice Emperor felt excited just imagining it as he stared fervently at the chaotic azure qi before him wishing he could pounce on it right now.
However seeing the fate of the cultivators earlier he retained some clarity. Yet seeing many cultivators looking at him he finally stepped forward. Out of confidence in his own strength he felt he could obtain this item.
The Fox Emperor also stepped forward at this moment wanting to take the chaotic azure qi. Ye Chu saw the coffin being buried and his thoughts returned from the corpse inside it. Seeing the Fox Emperor about to take the chaotic azure qi Ye Chu could not help reminding from the side, “Every single strand of chaotic azure qi can crush a mountain. It is extremely heavy. If you have no special methods going to take it would simply be courting death.”
These words made the Fox Emperor’s graceful seductive and charming figure stop. She turned her peerlessly beautiful face. Her beautiful eyes looked towards Ye Chu as her alluring red lips parted. “You know how to take it?”
