Chapter Seven Hundred and Twenty-Six
When Ye Chu frantically retreated, the Essence Stone erupted with ten thousand rays of light, shooting out in all directions. Even though Ye Chu retreated very quickly, he was still swept by the light, directly blasted and sent falling into the Dark Pool, splashing up high water.
The Essence Stone intertwined, slowly condensing into a massive illusory figure. The figure was as tall as a mountain, a gigantic eagle. The eagle’s wings were a hundred metres long, covering the sky and blotting out the sun, blocking the light of the sun and moon, leaving the area below in complete darkness.
The giant claws were as massive as thousand-year-old trees, the sharp beak gleaming with light. Just one glance at it made people feel a chill. The enormous illusory figure projected from the Essence Stone, its aura shaking the heavens. With every tremor, it caused the heavens and earth to rumble.
“Eagle Emperor!”
Everyone watching this scene cried out in alarm, their eyes full of shock. They looked at the illusory figure before them in disbelief. This was the true form of the Eagle Emperor. Everyone recognised it at first glance. Because this was a legendary figure. His legend was not due to anything else, but because the Eagle Emperor was once one of the Protector Great Emperors of the Demon Palace.
The Demon Palace was one of the most mysterious organisations in the world, its foundations unfathomable. It was also presided over by successive Supremes, overwhelmingly powerful. Under its banner gathered countless strong ones.
Among its countless strong ones, there were no lack of absolute powerhouse figures.
The Eight Great Emperors under the Demon Palace were the left and right arms of the Demon Lord. Each one possessed world-shaking abilities. The places where their descendants resided were all sacred lands. These were terrifying existences. Each one of these people had the hope of assaulting the Supreme position.
The appearance of such a figure could cause the world to tremble and worship. Yet its illusory figure appeared here.
This made everyone involuntarily think of a legend. It was said that in those years, the Demon Lord had some grievances with the Red Dust Saint. This led to the Red Dust Saint, in her fury, driving the Demon Palace people out of the Red Dust Domain.
The one who had been stationed in the Red Dust Domain at that time was the Eagle Emperor. Looking at this massive illusory figure, everyone finally confirmed the records in the ancient texts.
“In those years, the Red Dust Saint, by her own power, uprooted the Demon Palace in the Red Dust Domain and suppressed the Eagle Emperor, one of the absolute powerhouses under the Demon Lord’s command. This enraged the Demon Lord, who furiously struck out, wanting to rescue the Eagle Emperor. But he was forced back by the Red Dust Saint.”
Looking at this massive illusory figure, everyone knew this rumour was true. The Red Dust Saint had truly suppressed the Eagle Emperor and repelled the Demon Lord. Just thinking about it made people go mad. What kind of figure was the Demon Lord? Although everyone did not know who the Demon Lord was, one who could become the master of that absolute power like the Demon Palace was definitely a world-shocking existence. Among Supremes, he was at the absolute peak. There were even rumours that they were figures who had achieved godhood. Yet he could actually be forced back by the Red Dust Saint. Then the Red Dust Saint was…
Everyone sucked in cold air. They knew the Red Dust Saint was strong. But being strong to this degree still made them hard to imagine.
Everyone looked at that massive illusory figure, looking at the Essence Stone at the centre, thinking that this Essence Stone should be the item suppressing the Eagle Emperor. Everyone had previously been interested in the Essence Stone, but at this moment they had no interest at all.
The Essence Stone sealed the Eagle Emperor. Then they absolutely could not make use of it. Obtaining it would only be a waste.
Only, the way everyone looked at Ye Chu was also somewhat unfriendly.
The Red Dust Saint had placed the Essence Stone in the depths of the Dark Pool. She had definitely employed formation methods to suppress it. At this moment, the Essence Stone was not suppressed by Sacred Liquid and formation methods. Perhaps the Eagle Emperor could break through the stone and emerge. If the Eagle Emperor reappeared, then…
Thinking of that blood-soaked wind and rain, everyone could not help but shiver.
Only Luo Chizi was extremely excited, his eyes burning as he looked at the Essence Stone. He thought that if the Eagle Emperor could break through the seal and return to the Demon Palace, then the Demon Palace’s power would definitely surge, representing that the Demon Palace possessed a top-level strong one.
In this era when Supremes did not emerge, the Eagle Emperor would be the strongest existence in the world. Without equal, he could sweep across the four wildernesses and eight directions.
Lin Shixin and Bai Qingqing also changed colour. They had not expected this kind of unforeseen event. Especially Bai Qingqing, her gaze was incomparably complex. Strictly speaking, she was also considered a demon. Only, she was not a person of the Demon Palace.
Someone had once invited her clan to join the Demon Palace, only their ancestor had refused. With the Fox Mountain Supreme’s strength, naturally they did not need to look at others’ expressions to conduct affairs. The Demon Palace also was not willing to offend a Supreme, so the matter was dropped.
But if the Eagle Emperor came out, and again forced her clan. Without their ancestor in the world, they feared they would definitely have to become an affiliated sacred land of the Demon Palace.
Bai Qingqing naturally was not willing for this to happen. Becoming a member of the Demon Palace represented losing freedom. Most importantly, the ancestor’s evaluation of the Demon Palace was not high. This made the whole of Fox Mountain extremely resistant to the Demon Palace.
“How could it be sealed inside the Essence Stone.” Bai Qingqing murmured to herself. She knew there was an Essence Stone within, and had vainly dreamed of obtaining this item to let herself advance by leaps and bounds. But now even if they gave this thing to her, she would not dare take it.
Ye Chu emerged from diving in the Dark Pool, staring blankly at the void. He had originally thought that this Essence Stone nurtured an immortal foetus, but had never expected that what was sealed within was the Eagle Emperor.
Using the essence of a star to seal the Eagle Emperor proved the Eagle Emperor’s fearsomeness.
Ye Chu also did not make a move. He just stayed quietly in the Dark Pool. Knowing what this thing’s origins were, Ye Chu did not harbour any thoughts of controlling it. Such a thing was not something he could control.
The Essence Stone trembled. With every tremor, the illusory figure outside became more solid by a degree. The Essence Stone trembled extremely quickly, as if something was struggling within, making people worry that the Essence Stone would shatter because of this.
Bai Qingqing and Lin Shixin and others all stared straight at the Essence Stone, their hearts filled with ten thousand thoughts. At the same time, they also guessed what the Red Dust Saint actually wanted to do.
With her strength, beheading the Eagle Emperor was not difficult. Since she could behead him, why pay such a great price to seal him?
If it was fear of offending the Demon Lord, this also did not make sense. Because sealing and beheading the Eagle Emperor were both ways of antagonising the Demon Lord. For a figure like the Demon Lord, how much he was offended was completely irrelevant. Once offended, one must die.
And the Red Dust Saint’s display clearly showed she was not afraid of the other party. Then why did she pay such a price to seal the Eagle Emperor?
No one could understand. Their gazes all concentrated on the Essence Stone. Although the Essence Stone trembled fiercely, it was incomparably hard, showing no tendency to shatter at all.
At the same time, patterns flashed within it one after another. Every time a pattern flashed, it transformed into the power of rules, winding around the Eagle Emperor’s illusory figure. The Eagle Emperor’s illusory figure was covered in patterns. Under the grinding of the patterns, the illusory figure began to dim. Before long, it thoroughly exploded.
Following the explosion of the illusory figure, the Essence Stone returned to its original state again, no longer trembling endlessly. Only faint light flickered upon it.
Everyone knew, this was because the Eagle Emperor had been suppressed again.
Luo Chizi stared at the Essence Stone, his eyes burning. He thought that he must quickly send this news back. Eagle Emperor, what a domineering name. Just thinking about it made people go mad. If he could be revived, who would they still fear? Who would they still need to fear?
Sorry, I did not update yesterday. Because the plane flew to Nanchang, I arrived at the hotel very late, utterly exhausted. I only notified everyone in the book review section. I am very sorry. Please forgive me. Today I will try to update more. I do not know how much I can write, but I will try my best. I will write as much as I can.
