Chapter 474: Mu Qingxue Appears
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhu You was merely a great saint of the Heavenly Demon Alliance. To someone of the Long family elder’s stature, such an existence like him was hardly worth noticing. Frankly, Zhu You did not even have the qualifications to meet him! To obtain the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master for his descendant, the elder had lowered himself. As long as they could get the Heavenly Demon Alliance’s assistance, their chances of seizing the inheritance would rise substantially.
“Very well,” said Zhu You after giving the elder a deep look. “I will relay the truth of it.”
How could he not grasp the elder’s implication? But resolving Su Chen would be worth any price.
Time continued to pass. In but the blink of an eye, another two months had gone by. Just as impatience was mounting and many prepared to leave, a figure emerged from the Chaotic Sea Star Region’s depths.
The newcomer was a youth in a light blue robe, with long black hair casually tied. Bright purple eyes shone like stars in the winter night sky. The moment the youth appeared, the world itself seemed to still. All eyes involuntarily fixed upon this person exuding an aura of sheer power.
The Heavenly Demon experts’ killing intent flashed unrestrained at the sight of this youth.
“Mu Qingxue!” Zhu You was the first to regain his composure, eyes cold as ice. She had finally come out! If not for this whore, how could his most outstanding junior have fallen? Fortunately, heaven’s justice prevailed – after three long years of waiting, she had arrived at last!
In the intervening years, Mu Qingxue’s strength had clearly grown. Her cultivation stood at the initial stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, and she seemed to have chanced upon remarkable opportunities. Advancing to the middle stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm likely posed no difficulty for her now.
Such power rendered her an expert in the Southern Region, though compared to Zhu You’s Great Saint Realm cultivation she still amounted to little. No matter how powerful an ant grew, a pinch of his fingers could crush it.
“Still, 1 must say this human girl is a true beauty!” remarked a demon expert, leering at Mu Qingxue.
“Careful, she’s Su Chen’s junior sister,” another demon joked. “Court his wrath and invite clan extermination.”
By now Su Chen’s demolition of various East Barrens’ factions was common knowledge.
“Su Chen?” scoffed the first. “Let’s see if he can kill me when I stand here today! Now he’s just a stray cur that only dares cower in the Chaotic Sea Star Region!”
To him, Su Chen posed no threat at all. Perhaps in the East Barrens, he would have held his tongue, but here in the Southern Region was their myriad races’ territory! Su Chen gave him no fear.
One had to understand the gathered experts represented the apex of all the myriad races, the elite of elites. Even several saint kings numbered among them!
Su Chen’s talent was heaven-sent, no doubt, but he remained only a great saint. No chance he could withstand their combined assault.
“Is she the only one who emerged?” a Great Saint Realm powerhouse wondered aloud. Su Chen’s entry into the Chaotic Sea Star Region was practically public knowledge. Moreover, some had witnessed Mu Qingxue enter alongside him. Yet now only she appeared while Su Chen remained absent. Something clearly seemed amiss.
“Who cares if she’s the same person or not? We’ll grab her first and see if Su Chen shows himself after.”
“Exactly! Once we have her, searching her soul will reveal where Su Chen has gone!” Zhu You said.
As Zhu You finished speaking, he struck. Dazzling divine light burst from his palm, seemingly tearing open the eternal void itself, the glittering stars blanketing the heavens as his power enveloped Mu Qingxue.
This profoundly formidable divine power represented nearly Zhu You’s full might. Seemingly it targeted Mu Qingxue, but all understood his true aim was Su Chen, likely lurking nearby if Su Chen dared show himself. Zhu You would show no restraint, not granting Su Chen the slightest opportunity.
With a thousand transformations of the divine power, the Milky Way reversed and the universe manifested. Void fissures appeared, spreading in all directions from Mu Qingxue’s center. The celestial dome within a radius of a hundred thousand miles was covered in this phenomenon.
With this strike, it almost recreated the terrifying scene of the opening of heaven and earth, resembling the chaos of primordial creation. This was Zhu You’s hidden trump card, only to be unleashed under the direst threat to his life.
Yet now, to oppose the hidden Su Chen, even this had emerged. The myriad races’ experts watched on gravely as the power bloomed. Even peak-stage Great Saint Realm powerhouses would need to treat this seriously.
“Su Chen of man, will you watch idly as your junior sister dies?” rumbled Zhu You, his voice like thunder. At that moment countless experts’ divine senses expanded, blanketing endless voids, probing every corner for any hint of Su Chen.
Yet just then, an aura of peerless dominance and destruction boiled forth. As it erupted it smothered heaven and earth.
In the deepest part of the Chaotic Sea Star Region, under the gaze of all, a pitch-black dragon, several thousand meters in length, descended. Its black scales resembled formidable iron armor, like a steel great wall, plunging downward.
This azure dragon was extremely terrifying, resembling a true azure dragon soaring in the sky. The aura it emitted seemed capable of suppressing the heavens, and the malevolent energy emanating from its body condensed into substance, exuding a terrifying breath of annihilation and slaughter that seemed to have existed for countless eons..
