The Devil’s Heart fell into the Tong Ming River and lost its heart, but Di Yi didn’t die immediately.
The life force of a Saint Body was powerful, far from being comparable to an ordinary martial body, only to see Di Yi lying in the water, his eyes looking at the turquoise blue sky, a pair of eyes gradually becoming hollow and lifeless.
“Surprisingly …… defeated …… completely defeated ……”
Emperor Yi had the belief of certain victory in his heart, and had never been defeated since he was a child.
Now, the conviction in his heart was crushed, and even if the Demon Heart had not been dug out, he was almost equal to being wasted.
Zhang Ruochen carried the bloody Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and silently looked at Di Yi, who was lying in a pool of blood, without striking again.
With his heart ripped out, Di Yi could no longer live for long.
“Wooo!”
Right at this moment, a black cloud appeared, shrouding the entire dome of the sky and covering the blazing sun hanging in the middle of the sky.
The entire section of the Death River was completely darkened, and not a single ray of light could be seen. To the ears, all that could be heard was the sound of water waves, and the wind that kept getting stronger.
Zhang Ruochen raised himself up and looked at your black cloud, sensing that a terrifying force was rapidly approaching.
“What’s going on, why is the sky dark?”
Those martial artists with lower realms all panicked and took out light attribute spirit crystals, holding them in their hands to illuminate their surroundings.
Those martial artists with a higher realm, their faces sank, sensing a terrifying aura, hidden behind the black clouds, causing their legs to tremble uncontrollably.
“Wow!”
Suddenly, amongst the black clouds in the sky, a grey-robed old man stepped out, hanging in the void, with long grey hair, dry skin, and a purple crescent moon mark emerging from the position of his eyebrows.
Seeing that one grey-robed elder, the faces of the Seven Fiendish Star Envoys revealed a look of horror as they simultaneously bowed and said in unison, “Greetings to Elder Yuanying.”
Hearing the Seven Fateful Star Envoys address that one grey-robed old man, the martial practitioners of the Heavenly Demon Ridge present were all shocked.
“Could it be that that one old man, is the mighty black market murderer, Yuan Ying.”
“Yuan Ying? Is that famous?”
Some of the young disciples had not heard of Yuan Ying’s name and did not find it frightening, so they inquired.
“Yuan Ying is an elder of the black market’s power, ‘Nine Secrets City’, does Nine Secrets City know about it? The Nine Secrets City doesn’t even know about it? The Nine Secrets City has been inherited for close to 100,000 years, it was created during the Middle Ages, and I don’t know how many generations it has already gone through, and it still hasn’t perished, but instead, it has become even stronger.”An old man said.
Hearing this, those young disciples, although they still didn’t know how terrifying Nine Spectres City was, were stunned by the amount of time that Nine Spectres City had been passed down. Someone exclaimed, “In that case, wouldn’t Nine Spectres City be a Medieval Evil Sect?”
In the entire Eastern Domain, there were only a handful of sects and clans that were able to pass down from the Middle Ages, and each one of them was a super hegemon, and even the First Central Dynasty wouldn’t touch them easily.
Their power and heritage far exceeded those so-called Half-Saint clans and Saint sects.
Inherited for 100,000 years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, just thinking about it was shocking.
The top sects of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, the Yuntai Zongfu and the Taiqing Palace, had only been inherited for a few hundred years, and could only be considered as small sects in front of the medieval families and medieval saint sects.
Yuan Ying, as an elder of a Middle Ancient Evil Sect, his own strength, naturally, was terrifying and overwhelming. His personal visit to the Heavenly Demon Ridge was definitely an earth-shattering event.
“Yuan Ying once killed a Half Saint, swallowing the blood of Half Saints and serving the flesh of Half Saints, extremely vicious. Even in the eyes of black market martial artists, he is a devil that people fear.”
“Yuan Ying once used his own strength to exterminate a lower-class county, refining that lower-class county into a thousand miles of scorched earth, and I don’t know how many innocent people died at the hands of this butcher.”Huang Yichen stared at the grey-robed old man standing in the void, gritting his teeth.
There were many legends about YuanYing, either he had beheaded half saints or destroyed countries and slaughtered cities.
Not to mention those young disciples, even the older generation of martial artists who heard that the grey-robed old man was a YuanYing were so scared that they trembled, wanting to flee this place immediately!
That one grey-robed old man named YuanYing Elder, with a gloomy face, just scanned over the bodies of the Seven Deadly Star Envoys before his gaze fell on Di Yi and said, “Di Yi, have you learned a lesson from today’s defeat?”
His voice was very vast, falling from the sky and travelling to Di Yi’s ears.
Di Yi was lying in the midst of the blood and water, the bloody hole in his heart continuously flowing out blood, as if he was dreaming, saying, “Elder, my demonic heart is all gone, I’m about to die, is it still useful to talk about lessons now?”
Elder Yuan Ying said, “Losing your demonic heart may not be a good thing for you. It is precisely because you relied too much on the power of the Sacred Body’s Demon Heart that you suffered today’s defeat. As long as you can come to your senses, in the future, it may not be impossible to break through.”
Emperor Yi’s eyes, which were already somewhat hollow, suddenly, exuded a trace of divine splendour as he kept reciting, “Break and then stand …… Break and then stand ……”
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a burning multicoloured holy light emanated from within Emperor Yi’s body, his eyes gradually became determined, and he even stood up from the water again.
This was quite a bizarre scene, a person with his heart gone had actually climbed back up again.
Zhang Ruochen, who was standing not far away, was also slightly shocked, saying, “In the midst of the realm of death, Di Yi was even able to stimulate the potential of his Sacred Body, making the Five Elemental Sacred Body even more perfect, worthy of being the most outstanding Heavenly Pride of the Black Market in the past hundred years.”
Seeing Di Yi standing up again, the Yuan Ying Elder smiled and nodded, taking out a cold jade box and opening it up, which surprisingly contained a bloody heart.
“Boom, boom ……”
That one heart, it was still beating.
Even from a distance of tens of miles, the sound of the heart beating could be heard.
The Elder Yuan Ying said, “The Sage of the Withered Sea projected that you would have a calamity today, and asked me to come here specifically to give you this heart.”
“Whose heart?”Emperor Yi asked.
The Yuan Ying Elder said, “A Half-Saint from the Martial City School Palace. Just two days ago, it was dug out of his body by the Withered Sea Saint himself. With the aid of this Half-Saint’s Heart, I believe that your cultivation will definitely be able to advance by leaps and bounds.”
After saying this, Elder YuanYing held up the bloody heart and struck it into Di Yi’s heart. As the Elder YuanYing’s palm nudged it, a blood-red glow emanated out.
When the blood light dispersed, blood and flesh grew back in Di Yi’s chest, wrapping around that one Half-Saint’s heart.
“I …… am finally not dead, and in the future, I will be even stronger.”
Emperor Yi’s gaze, staring towards Zhang Ruochen, was about to fight with Zhang Ruochen once again, to wipe out his former shame.
However, he had only just taken a step when a sharp pain came from his heart, and the heart of the Half-Saint was beating with a loud bang, as if it was about to jump out of his body.
Elder Yuanying said, “The Half-Saint’s Heart has only just entered your body, and you haven’t refined it yet, so you can’t casually make a move against anyone just yet.”
Di Yi endured the severe pain coming from his heart and said, “Elder, Zhang Ruochen’s body has the Dragon Shelter, we must capture him and refine the Dragon Shelter out of his body.”
“Oh!”
The Elder Yuan Ying’s eyes lit up and immediately stared towards Zhang Ruochen.
With just a single eye falling on Zhang Ruochen’s body, Zhang Ruochen felt like two huge mountains were pressing down on him, causing him to feel suffocated, the blood in his entire body felt like it was solidifying, and his muscles, bones, and meridians felt like they were going to be crushed.
“YuanYing, then if you dare to hurt Zhang Ruochen, the Saints of the Martial City School Palace will definitely take your life.”
Lei Jing and Chen Ying simultaneously erupted their fastest speed and rushed towards Zhang Ruochen, wanting to save him.
The Yuan Ying Elder laughed “ga ga” and waved his hand across a piece of void, a huge palm of true qi coalesced out and sent Lei Jing and Chen Ying flying.
Lei Jing and Chen Ying each spat out a mouthful of blood, the body issued a “cackle” burst sound, the bones in their bodies broke most of them.
Luckily, their cultivation was strong, otherwise, just based on that blow, their bodies would have cracked and turned into two clouds of blood mist.
In front of a YuanYing Elder, even a Fish Dragon Realm martial artist was like an ant, unbeatable.
“Just with you guys wanting to save people, you don’t even weigh whether you have the strength?”
The Primordial Elder’s voice became ferocious and murderous as he said, “Today, other than the Black Market’s martial artists, all the rest of you must die.”
The YuanYing Elder landed on the water surface, and with a wave of his arm, the water in the TongMing River instantly tumbled, raising huge waves tens of metres high, and almost in an instant, all the ships were overturned.
The martial artists of the various sects all crashed into the water.
“Everyone, run away, the old Yuan Ying demon is going to go on a killing spree!”
“Run away!”
……
All the martial artists, swam desperately in the water, fleeing towards the distance.
“Jiejie!”
The Yuan Ying Elder smiled insidiously, his foot stomped towards the water, a wave of cold air travelled out from his foot, freezing the river water continuously into cold ice, the ice layer spreading all the way into the distance.
Those martial artists who fell into the water were all sealed by the cold ice, unable to move their bodies.
The entire world, seemingly in an instant, fell silent.
Apart from the martial artists from the Black Market, only Zhang Ruochen was left standing on the surface of the water, not frozen. It wasn’t because he was strong enough to withstand the cold, but because Elder Yuan Ying didn’t want to freeze him.
The Elder Yuan Ying walked to Zhang Ruochen’s face, and the old face that looked like a stern ghost appeared clearly across from Zhang Ruochen. He laughed, ”In theory, you are just a young doll in your teens, it is indeed a fall from grace for the old man to strike out at you. However, you have the Dragon Relic in your body, so that’s a different story. If you want to blame it, you can only blame it on the fact that you have obtained something that you shouldn’t have obtained …… eek ……”
A soft eek escaped from the Yuan Ying Elder’s mouth as he looked towards the sky.
Only to see, in the distance, a blue holy cloud flew in.
Within the holy cloud, a sword aura ran through the heavens and earth, piercing through the black clouds. A beautiful palace-suited woman carrying an ancient sword flew out, she didn’t look old, just twenty-eight or nine years old, with a tall figure, a head of long, treasured blue hair, and a cold, arrogant aura on her face.
Flying down onto the ice, she didn’t rush in the direction of the YuanYing Elder, but instead walked to the side of an ice pillar, looking at Huang Yichen, who was frozen inside, a hint of softness appeared in her eyes, and she let out a soft sigh.
If someone were to see this scene, they would realise that the two women outside the cold ice and inside the cold ice actually looked so similar.
Only, the one woman outside the cold ice was slightly more mature, and although she looked young and beautiful, her true age had long been more than twenty years old.
That one woman in palace dress, stretched out a finger and pointed it towards the icicle.
“Wow!”
In an instant, the cold ice melted, revealing Huang Yichen’s body.
Not only that, with that one palace-suited woman as the centre, the cold ice continued to melt rapidly, spreading towards the distance, and soon the cold ice in a hundred-mile radius completely dissolved, turning back into a body of water.
The power emanating from her body was not the true qi cultivated by ordinary martial artists, but holy qi.
