The Fox Empress felt strange because Ye Chu was acting strangely. When the palace first materialised he already knew it was the Azure Flame Divine Palace. Moreover the corpse inside bore a resemblance to his master. Did this mean the Azure Flame Divine Palace had some connection to Ye Chu.
I do not know. Ye Chu felt his heartbeat quicken as this woman fixed him with her spring like eyes. Still he kept his reason to resist the seduction that reached into his very bones and shook his head as he spoke.
Ye Chu did have a way to collect the chaotic azure qi yet he no longer needed it. With the chaotic azure essence in his possession it was far more precious than all the chaotic azure qi here combined.
Of course this was only one reason. Another was that he could not let outsiders know he possessed the chaotic azure essence or countless people would try to kill him.
The Fox Empress was unlike Yang Ning and Yang Hui who would save him even at the cost of their own lives. Although Ye Jingyun was at odds with him she would not go so far as to want him dead. Therefore Ye Chu could give it to them without worry. Yet if the Fox Empress before him learned he held the chaotic azure essence which was a hundred times more precious than the chaotic azure qi he feared she would kill him to seize the treasure.
The Fox Empress nodded and did not think Ye Chu was lying. If even a single wisp of chaotic azure qi could truly crush a mountain what could Ye Chu achieve with his meagre strength.
The Fox Empress stopped her steps and looked towards the Ice Emperor. While waiting for him to collect the chaotic azure qi the Fox Empress and the Ice Emperor were at odds yet this time she felt an overwhelming hope that the Ice Emperor would obtain it.
The Ice Emperor gazed at the surging chaotic azure qi. His power swept forth as he tried to draw a mass of it over. The force shook with terrifying might and a palpitating glow surged making it feel overwhelmingly dominant.
This power shook the hearts of every cultivator present and filled them with admiration. Yet the very same power landed on the chaotic azure qi only to be shattered by that mass. The drawn chaotic azure qi lost control surged out and wrapped directly around the Ice Emperor.
The Ice Emperor expression changed drastically. His power erupted to the limit as he tried to resist the pressure.
Seeing this Ye Chu could not help but sneer. An emperor dares to be so greedy. Drawing it bit by bit might yield some yet to try drawing it in masses it would be strange if he survived.
Bai Xin and Bai Rou heard Ye Chu words and could not help but retort. What is your strength. How can you comment on an emperor.
The contemptuous look on Bai Xin and Bai Rou faces had not fully formed before it froze. The scene before them made their scalps tingle and sent chills up their legs.
The chaotic azure qi landed on the Ice Emperor. One could hear the sound of his bones shattering. In moments an emperor bones were all broken. His whole body was crushed until blood seeped from his skin dyeing a section of the palace red.
Hiss.
There was a chorus of sharp intakes of breath. Every person felt their scalp go numb. What kind of existence was an emperor. A lofty figure they looked up to with awe and reverence a terrifying person honoured as emperor. This was their goal.
Yet such an extraordinary figure was crushed to death by a mass of chaotic azure qi. Just how heavy was the chaotic azure qi.
Bai Xin and Bai Rou saw Ye Chu looking at them with a smile and embarrassment showed on their faces. Yet they quickly shouted fiercely at Ye Chu. What are you looking at. Can you take it.
Ye Chu ignored the two women unreasonable behaviour. His gaze scanned the surroundings to see if there was any place to escape this spot.
Thank you. The Fox Empress voice was very seductive yet it made Ye Chu smile. This woman was much better than Bai Xin and Bai Rou. Although her strength and status were extraordinary and she was ruthless and vicious she was still reasonable. She would not shout to beat or kill him and she remained quite polite towards him.
Ye Chu thought in his heart that if the allure of the chaotic azure qi were not so great he would have drawn some for this woman.
The Ice Emperor death shocked far too many people. Even though an unparalleled treasure lay ahead not many dared to approach anymore.
The chaotic azure qi continued to surge endlessly swirling above the palace like an azure cloud floating there and drawing every eye in the place.
Boom. Boom.
The thunder rumbled without pause. The thunder shook the skies. Within the chaotic azure qi unparalleled thunder light formed. Each flash tore space apart. A vast momentum shook out causing clouds to stir in all directions and a huge hole to appear in the sky.
In the sky it was as if a giant black hole had opened. Darkness covered everything as if it wanted to devour all. That huge hole in the sky formed a massive vortex. The vortex swept out a palpitating aura.
People in the Love Domain could look up and see this terrifying heavenly phenomenon. Every heart shook. The stronger the person the paler their face became. One by one they watched in terror.
Some cultivators tore space and shot towards this place. They stood outside the palace gazing at it from afar. Their hearts filled with uncontrollable horror yet soon burning greed covered it again.
No one could resist the allure of the chaotic azure qi. This was the most primal power of heaven and earth. Whoever obtained it would gain unparalleled benefits.
However the stronger the existence the more they felt the world shaking terror within it and they did not dare approach the chaotic azure qi lightly.
The chaotic azure qi was too terrifying. The heavenly thunder nurtured inside it was like heavenly punishment. With each strike even the firmament could be shattered. Who would dare ignore it.
Ye Chu the Fox Empress and the others stood on the ground. This patch of earth had not broken. Yet it once again emitted a scorching glow. This startled Ye Chu and the rest. One by one their figures shot out rushing outside at full speed. Every one pushed their speed to the limit.
At this moment the ground held no binding force on them. If they did not leave now when the ground changed again they feared they would truly be trapped here.
Especially Ye Chu who had witnessed the terror of the Azure Flame Divine Palace. He did not dare enter again. His figure flashed rapidly. Although the cliff was still an extremely far distance from the Azure Flame Divine Palace Ye Chu gritted his teeth leaped into the air and jumped towards the cliff above.
Ye Chu erupted with all his power. His hand barely grabbed the edge of the cliff then he flipped up and stood on the cliff.
Some were not so fortunate. They leaped but failed to grab the cliff and fell straight down. The cliff was bottomless so falling meant certain death.
Boom. Boom.
The heavenly thunder nurtured by the chaotic azure qi continued to rumble shattering the void. The ground radiance flowed and a terrifying momentum erupted forth as if suppressing the divine palace on one side.
Ye Chu watched the divine palace anomaly. The number of people standing beside him had become very few. Apart from a few kings fewer than twenty cultivators remained. On the contrary more foxes were left yet still no more than fifty.
Thinking back to the previous ten thousand cultivators and the terrifying fox horde Ye Chu felt a chill. What a shocking and horrifying result this was. This place had harvested too many lives even directly killing an emperor. It was truly bloody beyond compare.
An unparalleled ominous land true to its name.
Everyone felt chilled by this outcome. Looking at the palace that still stood on one side every single person was filled with extreme terror.
