CHAPTER 313: CHAPTER 309: GREAT CHANGE_1

An hour later, Lin WuFeng emerged from the space wormhole, arriving on the chaotic battlefield. The residual shockwaves of the fight were wildly ravaging the Void, destroying everything in their path.

BOOM!

As soon as he appeared, Lin WuFeng was blasted by a shockwave, tumbling onto the ground with a bloody gash on his chest, fresh blood trickling out.

Ignoring his injuries, he hastened towards the center of the battle.

After several minutes, Lin WuFeng finally spotted the Kylin Great Emperor locked in a fierce battle. Amplifying his voice with Spiritual Energy, he shouted, "Saint Master, the Young Master is missing!"

The Kylin Great Emperor, deeply engaged in combat, was taken aback by Lin WuFeng’s words. His rhythm faltered, and Huo Qubing seized the opportunity to send him flying with a spear thrust, shattering a large swathe of the Void.

Thankfully, he was wearing an Emperor-Level sacred robe and suffered only minor injuries, nothing serious.

"What did you say?"

The Kylin Great Emperor did not retaliate but instead flew to Lin WuFeng’s side to inquire.

"Replying to the Saint Master, the disciples patrolling the mountain found Elder Pei’s body. We scoured the sacred land but... found no trace of the Saint Heir!" Lin WuFeng reported, his head bowed and hands clasped.

This news struck the Kylin Great Emperor like a bolt of lightning, leaving him dazed and struggling to accept the reality. How could Shen Youlin have disappeared?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The Kylin Great Emperor kept shaking his head. Then, with bloodshot eyes, he harshly questioned Huo Qubing, "Did your people sneak into the Kylin Sacred Land and kidnap the Saint Heir?"

Huo Qubing’s eyes flashed with a keen light as he shook his head, saying, "The Qin Dynasty disdains to engage in such underhanded acts as kidnapping hostages!"

He was certain the Qin Dynasty had not sent anyone to the Kylin Sacred Land. Yet, he was also curious as to who could have kidnapped Shen Youlin. Wasn’t this like plucking a tiger’s whiskers?

"Let’s go! Back to the Sacred Land!"

The Kylin Great Emperor cast a deep glance at Huo Qubing, then tore open the Void with his right hand. Grabbing Lin WuFeng, he departed in a frantic rush.

As for protecting the Azure Sea Ancient Court, eradicating the Qin Dynasty’s Divine Court, and avenging the Fire Kirin Emperor—none of these mattered anymore. He now only cared about Shen Youlin’s safety.

After all, Shen Youlin possessed the Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Body, ranked among the top ten such physiques, and held the qualification to contend for the Immortal Realm!

In this era capable of producing Immortal Realm Martial Artists, the Kylin Sacred Land needed to cultivate such individuals to ensure its survival; otherwise, it would inevitably face destruction.

"Strange!" Huo Qubing muttered. He didn’t attempt to stop the Kylin Great Emperor. Only after confirming his genuine departure did he lower his guard. He made a mental note of Shen Youlin’s disappearance, planning to report it to the imperial court.

Afterwards, he looked at the imperial palace, protected by a blue Formation, and a chilling smile touched his lips.

It’s all over!

Watching the Kylin Great Emperor leave, the Divine Emperor of the Azure Sea was overcome with boundless despair. He collapsed onto the steps, his eyes dull and listless.

The Azure Sea Second Ancestor and Azure Sea Fourth Ancestor were in no better state. They stood beside a pillar, silent and considerably aged, devoid of any vitality.

"Run, I don’t want to die yet!" Huang Zongyuan yelled from inside the imperial hall. Suppressing the terror in his heart, he threw his official’s gauze cap to the ground and scrambled towards the exit, shouting, "I surrender, don’t kill me!"

Upon witnessing this, the rest of the court officials hurriedly followed, tearing off their official robes as they ran, discarding them on the ground with evident disgust.

The commotion startled the Divine Emperor of the Azure Sea awake. Seeing the trampled and torn court robes, his eyes instantly reddened.

"Traitors, die!" the Divine Emperor of the Azure Sea roared in fury, drawing his personal sword and charging towards the fleeing court officials.

The civil officials, weak in strength, were no match for the Divine Emperor of the Azure Sea. In no time, corpses littered the ground, with only a handful surviving.

"Your... Your Majesty, for the sake of my many years of loyalty to the nation, please spare me!"

"Your Majesty, I don’t want to die! Please, I beg you, let me go! I’ll kowtow to you, I don’t want to die!"

"Your Majesty, don’t kill me..."

The few survivors knelt on the ground, pleading desperately.

Among them was Huang Zongyuan. He clung to the Divine Emperor of the Azure Sea’s legs, kowtowing repeatedly and kissing his shoes, acting no different from a dog.

"When you were alive, I granted you glory and riches. Now that I am about to die, you will all stay and accompany me!"

The Divine Emperor of the Azure Sea was unmoved. He kicked Huang Zongyuan away, and with a swift motion, his sword pierced another minister.

Blood splattered, staining the Divine Emperor of the Azure Sea’s imperial robe. His eyes glinted with a demonic light as he continued his slaughter, howling,

"Alive, you are my subjects!"

"Dead, you are still my subjects!"

CLANG!

When the last minister had been slain, the Divine Emperor of the Azure Sea looked at the enemies outside the palace. He ripped the imperial crown from his head, his black hair whipping about wildly like a madman’s, and raised his bloodstained imperial sword.

"HA HA HA..."

With a tragic, mournful laugh, the Divine Emperor of the Azure Sea committed suicide by slitting his own throat. Blood spurted out, dyeing the azure Formation red.

With a deep sigh, the Azure Sea Second Ancestor and the Azure Sea Fourth Ancestor, filled with endless desolation, ended their own lives by shattering their heart meridians. Their aged bodies slumped rigidly against the red pillars.

"Charge!"

Zhao Yun climbed to his feet and led his army into the imperial palace, capturing the Princes and Princesses of the Divine Emperor of the Azure Sea, along with his harem of concubines.

「Thus, the Azure Sea Divine Court fell!」

「Above the Imperial Capital」

"Doesn’t this fellow ever get tired?" Old Ancestor Tianqilin voiced his frustration. The prolonged battle had left his face somewhat pale, and he had expended a great deal of his Spiritual Energy.

Behind him, Li Yuanba charged ferociously like a wild bull, his face flushed, showing no signs of exhaustion.

He was the reincarnation of a Golden-winged Great Peng, his physique comparable to that of a divine beast. Having also fused with the origin of lightning, he was even more monstrously strong. He could fight continuously for ten days to half a month without any issue.

"Thunderous Escape!"

After a few more rounds of pursuit, Li Yuanba’s feet became wreathed in electric light. With a fierce beat of his wings, his body vanished from sight, reappearing above Old Ancestor Tianqilin.

Two gigantic hammers, like two God Mountains, came crashing down.

Suddenly, Old Ancestor Tianqilin felt the sky darken; the world was plunged into lightlessness. Only a torrent of destructive power descended from above.

"Kylin Manifestation!"

Facing this blow, Old Ancestor Tianqilin knew he couldn’t dodge. Helplessly, he raised his hands, forming two Kylin Manifestations in his palms, their front paws lifting off the ground to block the descending hammers.

The Void shattered, and an infinite, boundless force transmitted down through the Kylin Manifestations.

PFFT!

Instantly, Old Ancestor Tianqilin spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood vessels in his arms burst, flesh and blood splattering, leaving only his dry bones visible. Under the immense force, they emitted a CRACK! sound, on the verge of fracturing at any moment.

"HYAH!" Li Yuanba roared, his body crackling with electricity, all of which he poured into his hammers.

"No, this can’t go on!" Purple arcs of electricity coursed into Old Ancestor Tianqilin’s body, causing him to shiver uncontrollably. His body began to smoke, and he nearly spat out another mouthful of blood. Looking up at Li Yuanba, who resembled a thunder god, he felt the urge to retreat. He had a premonition that if this entanglement continued, he might very well die here!
