Chapter 29, Azure Emperor's Weapon, Chaos Azure Lotus! [Please continue reading!]
Behind this demon at the fifth level of the Dao Palace realm, several other demons were also stirring, gripping their weapons tightly.
"Don't move."
Yan Ruyu's voice wasn't loud, but it startled all the demons at the same time.
She turned her head, her gaze passing over the crowd and landing on the face of the demon who had been the first to become agitated.
He didn't release any pressure or use any divine power; he simply glanced at him calmly.
The demon cultivator felt a chill run down his spine, and he quickly bowed and retreated back into the crowd.
The other demons also concealed their auras and dared not make any further rash moves.
Qin Yao glanced at Yan Ruyu subconsciously, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
She had followed His Highness for many years and rarely saw him openly suppress his own people in such a setting.
His Highness seemed to care about that rogue cultivator more deeply than she had imagined.
Yan Ruyu withdrew her gaze.
She didn't allow the demon race to take action, partly because she didn't want any unexpected complications to arise before the Azure Emperor's Tomb was opened.
On the other hand, she had a vague feeling that the cultivator named Su Ye wouldn't fall so easily.
Su Ye's gaze swept over the few cave elders who were still secretly discussing things.
He calculated the time in his mind. Based on the opening rhythm of the Azure Emperor's Tomb in the original story, the rift couldn't possibly remain stable indefinitely.
Either open it completely, or close it completely.
On the human side, an old man dressed in purple robes, at the first level of the fourth realm, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He was the patriarch of a certain aristocratic family and one of the people with the highest cultivation level present.
He snorted coldly and stepped into the air, the pressure of the Fourth Heaven Level 1 crushing towards Su Ye, his voice echoing throughout the entire arena.
"Youngster, hand over the Daoist scriptures, and I will spare your life!"
Just then, Yan Ruyu's clear, cold voice rang out, saying, "Grandma Li, Grandma Sun."
As soon as she finished speaking, two old women rushed out from behind her.
The aura of the Fourth Heaven and the Fourth Extreme instantly unfolded, directly crushing the purple-robed elder's oppressive aura.
There were only seven or eight cultivators of the Four Extremes present, and most of them were only at the first level of the Four Extremes.
Yan Ruyu and her two old servants are currently the highest level of cultivation in the primitive ruins.
The purple-robed elder's expression changed drastically. He took several steps back, staring intently at Yan Ruyu, and gritted his teeth, saying, "A member of the demon race!"
"Is it really worth offending all the grotto-heavens and aristocratic families of my Yan Kingdom for the sake of a single rogue human cultivator?"
Yan Ruyu did not answer.
She didn't even glance at the purple-robed elder, but instead focused her gaze on Su Ye.
A questioning glint flashed in those cool, clear eyes, as if asking: Do you need my help?
Su Ye understood.
He gently shook his head.
Then, to everyone's disbelief, he took a step forward.
"Old man, you want the Daoist scriptures?"
Su Ye's voice was calm, yet it carried clearly throughout the room: "Come and get it yourself."
Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a divine rainbow and rushed towards the purple-robed elder!
"Is he insane?!"
"A second-level Dao Palace cultivator actively challenging a first-level Four Extremes cultivator?!"
"There are three minor realms and one major realm barrier in between!"
A chorus of exclamations erupted.
Even Qin Yao, standing behind Yan Ruyu, couldn't help but whisper, "Your Highness, he..."
Yan Ruyu raised her hand to stop him, her gaze fixed on Su Ye's figure.
The old man in purple robes laughed in fury, saying, "Good! Very good! Excellent!"
"What an arrogant and ignorant brat!"
He held nothing back, and the power of the Four Extremes Secret Realm erupted in full force.
He raised his right palm, and a cyan divine seal condensed in his palm.
That was his innate divine power, the "Azure Nether Seal," which he had cultivated for a hundred years and had once killed a cultivator of the same level.
With a single slap, the air exploded under the immense pressure.
Within Su Ye's body, the Divine Treasury of the Heart and the Divine Treasury of the Kidneys resounded simultaneously!
The crimson and azure divine light intertwined and flowed, and the divine power of the Nine Yang Scripture was pushed to its limit.
At this moment, the innate Dao embryo was fully activated, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred feet around him surged wildly, forming a faint vortex of spiritual energy behind him.
More importantly, deep within the sea of suffering, the golden book trembled slightly.
Although he has not yet comprehended it, the moment the Daoist scriptures entered his body, they began to subtly nourish his entire being with Daoist energy.
At this moment, with its full power unleashed, the natural affinity with the Great Dao is amplified to an unprecedented degree.
He threw a punch straight at the azure divine seal.
boom!!!
The next moment, everyone's eyes widened.
With their divine powers clashing, both of them retreated three steps.
The old man in the purple robe was also trembling slightly in his right arm.
"No...impossible!!"
An elder from the first level of the Dao Palace realm cried out in disbelief, "A second-level Dao Palace cultivator is going head-to-head with a first-level Four Extremes cultivator... and he's still at a disadvantage?!"
"This is no longer just one of the four prohibitions..."
Another aristocratic family steward said in a trembling voice, "This is... combat power that touches the edge of the Five Forbidden Zones!"
"The Five Prohibitions?!"
"Ancient texts record that only a young emperor, possessing the bloodline of an ancient emperor, could conquer five minor realms beyond the Dao Palace realm..."
"How could a rogue cultivator like him possibly..."
"Could he really be the illegitimate son of some great emperor?!"
Exclamations, doubts, and gasps of surprise mingled together.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Ye, as if they wanted to see through him inside and out.
Yan Ruyu nodded gently.
Qin Yao, standing behind her, looked at Su Ye with a completely different expression.
From initial surprise, to later appreciation, and now... to near worship.
That's combat power that's almost at the edge of the Five Forbidden Zones!
Looking at the younger generation of Beidou, how many are there?
Just then.
The old man in the purple robe had a face that was a mixture of pale and ashen.
He stared intently at Su Ye, his eyes filled with shock, but even more so with shame and anger.
The dignified Four Extremes Ancestor was forced to a draw in public by a junior at the second level of the Dao Palace. What a huge loss of face!
"Junior..."
The old man in purple robes, feeling humiliated, was about to unleash his killing move when suddenly his feet trembled.
The tremor came out of nowhere, a deep, muffled sound rising from the depths of the earth.
Everyone's expression changed simultaneously.
Crimson light erupted from the cracks in the volcano's crater, blasting away the nearest rogue cultivators.
The cracks spread rapidly in all directions, and the entire primitive ruins were shaking violently.
A faint blue light shone up from the depths of the earth, carrying with it an imperial aura that made everyone's hearts sink.
It wasn't the complete imperial might, but rather a faint, extremely weak lingering aura that had been suppressed by the earth for ten thousand years after the Azure Emperor's "fall," yet it was enough to freeze the blood of everyone present.
"The Azure Emperor's Tomb... has been fully opened!"
It's unclear who shouted the first time.
Everyone forgot about the Daoist scriptures and Su Ye; their attention was completely drawn to the imperial tomb.
This commotion was more than ten times greater than when Jin Shu escaped.
The entire thousand-foot-long crack trembled violently, and azure light surged up from the bottom of the crack, as if something was rising from the depths of the earth.
An ancient palace slowly rose, gradually emerging from the cracks in the ground.
This ancient temple was forged from five-colored divine jade.
It was crystal clear and shimmering with light, quite mystical, and engraved with many ancient characters that most people couldn't understand.
This is the imperial script of the demon race from before the ancient times!
"The Demon Emperor...this is the Demon Emperor from before the ancient times!"
An elder from a grotto-heaven appeared somewhat dazed and spoke in a trembling voice.
In the very center of this ancient temple, a blue lotus flower slowly emerges.
That's the Imperial Weapon, the Chaos Azure Lotus!
The Azure Emperor forged this ultimate imperial weapon using his own body as the foundation.
Primal chaotic energy flowed across the lotus petals, each lotus leaf was enormous, and layers of blue light dyed half the sky blue.
The overwhelming power of the imperial weapon swept across the entire arena.
