Chapter 541: Chapter 251: The Mortal World, Further Defiled

Recently, he learned that the Rain Master was planning a major operation, so he sent the information back to the Xiang Province Martial Arts Association, intending to set up a Celestial Net in the Jiuli Grotto Heaven to capture the Rain Master.

If all else fails, at least he must sabotage the Rain Master’s plot!

In order to uncover the truth behind the annihilation of the Hee Family years ago and to take revenge on Ghost Sword Sorrow Duann Ming, Hee Wenjie was willing to undertake this life-and-death undercover mission.

With a deep-seated enmity against the Heart Evil Stream, he was the least likely to betray them, which is why Bai Yuanhu placed him by the Rain Master’s side as an undercover agent.

The six of them rapidly descended along the tunnel, and it was unknown how much time had passed. They only felt the surroundings undergo dramatic changes. After continuously falling, they finally exited the pitch-black pit and fell into a massive fissure in the earth.

A river of fire formed by magma flowed slowly before them, and the scorching wind pressure assaulted their faces, leaving a profound impact.

“This place is Blue Star’s inner core. We’ve penetrated six thousand kilometers underground; be careful not to get burned to death by the Earth Core Evil Fire.”

Ye Qingzhou used the Soaring Step, suspended in mid-air.

Above was the flowing liquid magma, marking Blue Star’s outer core region. The endless fire flow was blocked by an array, but occasionally scattered Fire Fiends would penetrate the barrier, posing a threat.

Hee Wenjie, frightened, hurriedly took out a Fireproof Talisman and affixed it to himself just in case.

Even Duann Ming, Yun Yan, and Jiang Lin remained cautiously vigil, alert at all times.

The boundless Earth Core Evil Fire was no joke; even a Martial Arts Master would suffer death or injury upon contact.

Only Ye Qingzhou could disregard the threat of the Earth Core Evil Fire, maintaining a casual demeanor like the Rain Master.

Boom~

Suddenly, a surge of Earth Core Evil Fire broke through the array’s barrier, sweeping towards the group.

“Careful!”

Jiang Lin was the first to cry out, alerting everyone to dodge.

Duann Ming, Yun Yan, and Hee Wenjie quickly moved to the side, their faces showing expressions of terror and unease.

But Ye Qingzhou stood his ground, allowing the fire flow to strike him. He raised the Profound Gold Qilin Arm, absorbing the Earth Core Evil Fire in an instant, completing the recharge.

’Damn, Refining Evil into the Body, Grandmaster Realm?’

Duann Ming was aware of Ye Qingzhou’s true identity, so he was utterly shocked.

At their first meeting, Ye Qingzhou wasn’t even at the Professional Level.

Now, he was already at the Grandmaster Realm?

What he didn’t know was that Ye Qingzhou had neither reached the Grandmaster Realm nor refined evil into his body but was merely controlling an Armored Puppet with a Grandmaster-level physique.

Ye Qingzhou’s ability to handle the Earth Core Evil Fire was thanks to the Profound Gold Qilin Arm he picked up.

Wu Tianxi’s physique could accommodate the Earth Core Evil Fire, and the Profound Gold Qilin Arm could absorb and release the Earth Core Evil Fire, making them the perfect combination.

Soon, the Rain Master cast a Secret Technique, manipulating the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

With a clatter, the magma parted to the sides, revealing a jet-black island, pitch-black as ink, and the entire island exhibited a dark red tone as if it were a massive piece of glazed glass.

On the black island, a mutilated body was bound with nine massive chains, its limbs and head missing, leaving only the torso.

The Rain Master looked at Ye Qingzhou: “In this world, only the Emperor’s Sword Longyuan can sever the Dragon-Imprisoning Lock. Now, it’s time for you to draw your sword.”

“Alright.”

Ye Qingzhou recognized that it was the remains of War Emperor Chiyou trapped by the Dragon-Imprisoning Lock.

Even though only the torso was left, and it was in a sealed state, the immense and overwhelming life force still exuded an aura as imposing as a towering mountain or the vast ocean.

Zheng~

The Emperor’s Sword Longyuan exited its scabbard upon command, slicing towards one of the Dragon-Imprisoning Locks.

The pitch-black iron chain instantly came to life, like a fierce black dragon baring its claws and fangs, its roar shaking the space as it charged at Ye Qingzhou.

Simultaneously, the Earth Core Fire Fiend and the Geng Metal Sword Fiend entwined upon it, converging into a heart-palpitating force.

Mere chains, yet comparable to a Grandmaster!

Ye Qingzhou was unfazed, his Mind as Still as Water, his Sword Qi surged magnificently with each murderous intent, like a great river, vast and unstoppable, flowing endlessly.

Water governs the profound, Infinite Sword!

This full-force strike, with its turbulent Great River Sword Qi, extinguished the flames and shattered the metal sword. With a resounding crack, the Dragon-Imprisoning Lock broke accordingly.

Next, the remaining eight Dragon-Imprisoning Locks were severed by Ye Qingzhou one by one.

But what followed was a tremor that shook the earth and mountains, and even the scorching magma river boiled and churned.

On the pitch-black island, Chiyou’s remains broke free from the chains, soared into the sky from the Earth’s core, and transported everyone back to the Hundred Battles Emperor’s Cave.

In the Heaven-Fighting Hall, atop a broad golden throne, a stalwart and towering figure sat unmoving.

Within the Dongji Kingdom, at the five critical places where Chiyou’s head and limbs were originally sealed, sudden changes erupted like an Earth Dragon turning over, triggering earthquakes.

Fortunately, these locations were uninhabited, thus no casualties resulted.

Five streaks of golden light streaked across the sky, flying towards Jiuli Grotto Heaven, entering the Hundred Battles Emperor’s Cave, and orderly forming on Chiyou’s remains.

First was the left leg, followed by the right leg.

Then came the left arm and right arm, and finally the head.

Once fully assembled, a pair of golden imperial eyes suddenly opened, with powerful Gang Qi and Evil Qi intertwined behind them, manifesting as a stunning spectacle.

The Rain Master was overjoyed at the sight, immediately kneeling on one knee, his expression respectful: “Minister Rain Master, welcomes the Emperor Venerable’s return from tribulation!”

Chiyou opened his eyes, seeing the old comrade he trusted most and was closest to, and felt a warmth in his heart, laughing heartily: “This time, you did very well.”

As he spoke, his voice was like a great bell, reverberating thunderously in all directions: “The filth of the mortal realm, I will cleanse!”
