The Jade Qilin intervened.
The two parties to the battle were not expecting it.
Qin Li’s heart sank as he stood in strict anticipation.
Jun Tianxia said in surprise, “Jade Qilin, you also want the Tai Chu Immortal Sword?”
“Not bad!”
The Jade Qilin was undisguised.
With her plump figure and long golden hair, she was as noble as could be.
“Everything is about first come, first served.” Jun Tianxia’s face was ugly as the Star Silkworm Yuan Shen surrounded his left and right.
“Scram!”
The Jade Qilin snorted coldly.
The Transition Triple Aura swept through the Six Heavens.
Jun Tianxia’s face paled, although he was able to challenge kings, he was still stretched to the limit when facing an Emperor Star like Jade Qilin.
“Hmph!”
“I’ll take this revenge!”
Glaring fiercely at Qin Li, Jun Tianxia left in anger.
Qin Li didn’t dare to slacken off in the slightest and retreated into the ranks, secretly on guard.
“Qin Li, I counted myself as having saved your life, why don’t you offer your immortal sword in return for saving your life?” The Jade Qilin’s head bore twin horns, draped in Dao marks.
“If you hadn’t stopped me, Jun Tianxia would already be dead.” Qin Li said.
“Hubris and arrogance!”
A demon flew into the ranks of the demon race.
Qin Li had some impression that it appeared to be Gu Xiangxiang of the Kirin Sacred Race.
She had once had a fling with Dong Rihuang, but unfortunately, after the Sun God Palace, she suspected Qin Li of beheading her lover and held a complete grudge.
“Hurry up and hand over the Immortal Sword, or else I’ll kill you to avenge Brother Dong.”
Gu Xiangxiang was raging.
Qin Li was speechless.
The Tai Chou Sword Foetus flooded with killing intent.
Old Devil Dugu and the others were no good either.
If they really wanted to fight, they would not be inferior to the Jade Qilin at all, and would even counter-pressurise them.
“Jade Qilin, can you give me face and raise your hand?” Coldheart Dance advanced a few steps, not wanting to fight.
“What if I don’t give it?” The Jade Qilin smiled playfully.
“Then we can only fight.”
Moonflower flowed from Coldheart Dance’s forehead.
The glittering holy might emanated, revealing a deadly threat that was frightening.
The crowd of demonic cultivators couldn’t help but retreat a few steps, everyone knew that Han Xinmai possessed a holy weapon in her hands, if she activated it, she would kill thousands of people.
“Sister Cold, don’t be impulsive? it’s just a joke.”
The Jade Qilin laughed, defusing the atmosphere.
Cold Heart Dance breathed a sigh of relief.
The holy weapon oppression was too strong, she couldn’t use it for long.
“Many thanks!” Coldheart Dance hurriedly led the crowd away to avoid any trouble.
Seeing this.
The Jade Qilin tsked.
Gu Xiangxiang was very puzzled, “Sister Wang, why did you let them go?”
“It’s said that the Saint Weapon in Cold Heart Dance’s hands has a great flaw, so I think that if we join forces, it will be enough to defeat her.”
“Because they still have a Half-Saint Weapon.” The Jade Qilin had eaten the Immortal Peach and possessed extraordinary perception, able to peer into the netherworld and clearly sense the killing intent of the Heaven Measuring Ruler, “And Cold Heart Dance is not to be messed with!”
Gu Xiangxiang was even more puzzled, “Sister Wang, you’re an Emperor Star, sooner or later you’ll be certified as a saint and possess an innate saint artefact, or even an emperor artefact. The Cold Heart Dance can only bounce around for a few decades, so why can’t you be messed with?”
The Jade Qilin frowned, “I’ve heard a rumour that the Sun and Moon Sacred Land has an ancestral land dedicated to burying successive generations of Sacred Lords, and Cold Heart Dance came out of the grave with a Sacred Artifact of his own, scaring the Sun and Moon Sacred Lord into thinking that his ancestor had resurrected.”
Gu Xiangxiang’s face changed drastically.
Characters that walked out of ancient burial mounds were indeed of odd origins.
The Jade Qilin guffawed, “Actually, we don’t need to worry, they will soon meet the Ten Thousand Emperors, and when the two powers struggle, we are just sitting back and reaping the benefits.”
The words were split into two.
Qin Li and the others continued their journey.
The starry river was resplendent, the white moon was falling in the west, and it was already the latter half of the night.
Suddenly.
Qin Li stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Old Devil Dokuro asked.
Qin Li looked out into the distant pale night, and had a vague sense in his heart,
“I was originally able to call out to the Gate of Xuan Mare, but now that I’ve lost the sense, it seems that it’s the Celestial Emperor and the others, who have taken the gateway.”
The Devil Monarch regretfully said, “We’ve lost a great killing weapon.”
“Let’s go!”
Qin Li continued to advance.
Finally the eastern sky turned fish-belly white.
The bright sunlight poured down, colouring the mountains and rivers in a golden hue.
Vaguely, one could see some remnants of walls standing between the mountains, palace pillars entwined with green roses, and remnants of buildings hidden in the forest.
“Almost there.”
Qin Li accelerated his speed.
There were more and more dilapidated palaces in the surroundings.
These were all relics of the divine dynasty, corroded beyond recognition.
“Look guys, there’s actually a complete palace there.” Pingan Li pointed to the mountain stream in the distance.
Among them.
A jade palace.
The tiles were broken and the main body was still there.
Half of it was buried in dead branches and leaves, and there were bird nests on the eaves.
“Go over and take a look, maybe there’s something to be gained.” Qin Li was somewhat curious.
The crowd fell.
Sweeping away the fallen leaves, they entered the hall.
It’s not a big place, and the inside is empty, with only a mural.
It was probably a cultivator, or a beast god or goddess, who had come to this place and scavenged everything away, leaving only useless things behind.
“Interesting!”
Qin Li surveyed the mural.
The painting style was extremely crude and simple.
It was just a bunch of polka dots, without any is lines and words.
Moreover, it should have been inlaid with gems in the past, but all of them had been pried away, leaving behind only a small pit.
“This should depict the three domains of the heavens, the Star Domain, the Ten Thousand Realms Domain, and the Fallen Domain. In the ancient times, there was also the Ten Thousand Realms Domain with fifteen hundred great worlds, now it has shrunk to eight hundred great worlds.” The Solitary Old Devil sighed.
Qin Li, on the other hand, saw above the mural, the two largest dots, the size of a fist, one uppermost and one lowermost: “This point of supremacy, surely refers to the Sun Star, but this point of supremacy, what does it symbolise?”
“The Eye of Return!”
The Demon Monarch said the origin of this object.
Pingan Li was shocked, how come it had the same name as the village stone box?
Qin Li was also shocked and asked, “Senior, please tell us more carefully?”
The Demon Monarch explained, “There is an Eye of the Returning Ruins at the bottom of the Fallen, alias the Heavenly Prana Gate, which pours out endless suction, devouring dead things and transforming them into nothingness, which is why the world goes down when it dies!”
Qin Li asked again, “Does that Eye of Returning Ruins have anything to do with the Divine Emperor?”
“There is a great relationship.”
The Demon Monarch possessed the memories of the Demon Emperor, and thus knew many ancient mysteries:
“Legend has it that when the Divine Dynasty was at its height, the Divine Emperor gathered all his power to kill his way through the Fallen Domain and reach the end of the darkness, in order to cleave through the Eye of the Returning Ruins.”
“The result is unknown, I only know that the allied forces of the Divine Dao suffered a great defeat, and the Divine Emperor came back alive, but at the bottom of the Fallen Domain, he was tainted with an unspecified curse, and it wasn’t long before he died prematurely, and the Divine Dynasty fell apart.”
Qin Li was even more shocked.
Unconsciously associating it with the Divine Demon Village.
Rumble!
Suddenly.
The sound of a fierce battle came from the distance.
The shattered palace trembled slightly.
“Someone has arrived early and started fighting for the God Sealing Platform.”
Qin Li’s face changed and he hurriedly led the crowd, leaning over in a hurry.
In the distance.
Flamboyant light filled the air, and smoke and dust rose to the sky.
There were two Transitional Kings, fighting head-on and pushing into the mountains.
“Third World King, you’ve lost twice, why don’t you lose again?” The Ten Thousand Emperors stepped on the void, bursting into a thousand visions.
“Hmph! You weren’t even born yet when I fought with the Ten Thousand Elephant Emperor, and you’re worthy of competing with me as an emperor!” The Third World King was domineering and showed no weakness.
In the centre of the battlefield.
It was a towering altar.
Three thousand zhang high, its body was silver-white and carved with intricate divine marks.
It must be the God Sealing Platform, which had survived the vicissitudes of time and was still as clean as new, and was also shrouded in a layer of divine power, shielding the aftermath of the battle.
“Odd!”
Qin Li’s brows tightened.
This was the lair of the Ten Thousand Gods Palace.
Why hadn’t a single deity been encountered along the way?
It was too smooth, and if the intelligence wasn’t wrong, it was a trap.
“What a hustle and bustle!”
The Jade Qilin arrived late.
The four forces arrived, each hostile.
The original battle stopped instantly, the Three Worldly Kings, and the Ten Thousand Emperors separated.
Several people surrounded the God Sealing Platform, holding each other back, not daring to act rashly.
If someone forcefully seized it, they were bound to suffer a siege.
“Why don’t we co-operate and bring back the God Sealing Platform together, splitting the credit four ways.”
The Jade Qilin proposed with a smile.
The Ten Thousand Emperors laughed coldly:
“Among us, there’s one who makes up the numbers.”
“How about the God Sealing Platform goes to you guys, and the Taichu Immortal Sword goes to me!”
The Third World King sidestepped his gaze and stared at Qin Li: “I’ll take the God Sealing Stage, and I won’t leave the Primordial Immortal Sword to you guys.”
In fact, all of them were not stupid, the God Sealing Platform was just an altar, and even if they got their hands on it, they would still have to hand it over to the Nine Saints.
However, the Taichu Immortal Sword was different, if they captured it, they would be able to stand out from the Five Emperors’ Star and be number one in Qian Yuan.
The Three Worldly Kings and the Ten Thousand Emperors understood this very reasoning before they turned their guns around.
The Jade Qilin was also considering whether or not to join.
At once.
The situation changed drastically.
Qin Li was targeted by the three great Emperor Stars.
Two wanted to seize the Primordial Immortal Sword, and one wished to claim his life.
“Trouble!”
Qin Li’s face was gloomy.
Old Devil Dokuro and the others each prepared their own means, ready to teach these fellows, a lesson in blood.
