Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 428 - If you go out, you die

Translator: Aran

A terrifying energy that was hard to describe began to spread out from Ye Qingyu\'s body and completely dispersed throughout the entire palace.

The little white rabbit that had always been lying on the stone chair suddenly opened its eyes. There was an expression of shock like that of a human revealed in its eyes...

There were constantly the one hundred and eight ancient characters forming within Ye Qingyu\'s eyes...

Only until all the ancient holy divine light within the characters had appeared once did the holy light within his eyes gradually disappear.

What also disappeared along with it was the terrifying yuan qi power that filled the entire stone palace. Every inch of the stone palace flickered with the silver light of the formation array.

Within Ye Qingyu\'s body, there was a rumble like that of fierce water rushing past.

It was as if there really was a hundred or so great rivers madly crashing within his body. The rumble of water crashing together was deafening.

His originally hard flesh that had lost its elasticity also gradually began to become sparkling and translucent, like jade stone. As the yuan qi rushed past within his acupuncture points as well as his meridians, the essence within his blood vessels were restored and it once again flowed rapidly. A vigorous life energy, exploded out from his internal organs, covering his body in an instant.

His withered-like-wild-grass hair began recovering its colour and lustre at a speed noticeable to the eye from the roots.

There was the sound of explosions amongst his bones.

His heartbeat, was like the beating of a cow skin drum.

The air within the stone palace seemed to undulate along with the beat of Ye Qingyu\'s heart. The strange air that was created from the constriction and expansion of air spreaded out from the stone palace...

The sound of his heart beating sounded far outside the stone palace to a hundred mile radius away.

The Envoys of Light standing at the edge of the Earth Fire sword pit, felt a vast energy rushing at them. They were forced to retreat backwards. Even Bitter Sea stage experts like Liu Jingyan, had no way of resisting against this force.

Everyone was overwhelmed.

"That little brat, is he about to come out?"

Wen Wan carried a bowl of noodles, forgetting to eat it. It was already cold as he stared fixedly towards the stone palace.

From far off in the second area, the soldier camp had returned to their original ways and was currently engaged in gambling and wagering. The big fatty military officer as well as the soldiers were startled by the drumbeat-like thunderous sound from far of as well as the turbulence around them...

Far off from the [Light Palace], the martial experts paying attention to any disturbance also had shocked expressions on their faces.

With a sweep of their hands, there were streams of light that shot out from their palms that brought different information towards different areas of the capital.

At this time, there was an incomparably delighted and overjoyed expression that appeared on Ye Qingyu\'s face.

Hearing the liquefied yuan qi rushing about like a great river amongst his limbs and meridians, sensing the unending surging power of new life within his body, he knew that he had succeeded.

The River stage of the Bitter Sea stage!

The power of the yuan was like a river, his qi like a stream. It was constant and unending, tireless.

This was namely the characteristics that marked the River stage of the Bitter Sea stage.

With a thought, layer after layer of ice patterned protrusions spread out. In an instant, it had completely frozen the ground of the stone palace and spread out to the walls and ceiling. Ice cone after ice cone froze from the ground, then pierced towards the air high above...

The little rabbit began squeaking, as if it was cursing at something. It cursed and jumped around, escaping from the stone palace.

In the next instant, the entire stone palace was completely frozen with silver-coloured ice.

Ye Qingyu was also within such ice.

Then, with a thought from Ye Qingyu, all the ice instantly disappeared and dispersed into thin wind. There was not even a shred of cold left behind in the stone palace, as if nothing had happened whatever.

Ice realm.

After entering the Bitter Sea stage, the inner yuan was as unending and as tireless as a river. Therefore one could create different martial realms. For martial experts of different attributes, the martial limit they would be able to create was all different. Fire attribute experts would be able to create magma, fire ocean realms. Earth attribute experts could create quicksand realms, swamps and such...

The road Ye Qingyu travelled on was the ice attribute inner yuan. Therefore he was able to construct an ice realm.

Within his inner yuan, although the [Supreme Ice Flame] had not yet completely immersed within him, but its power was still countless times more terrifying than a normal ice attribute expert.

Ye Qingyu\'s focus immersed within the dantian world.

The one hundred and eight characters were etched amidst the pathways of the yuan qi rivers into a picture upon the desert world in his dantian.

After all, he had forcefully drawn the form of the ancient characters when he was attempting to breakthrough to the next stage. Therefore the strokes of the ancient characters on the desert could not be counted as beautiful. The rivers and river beds had been only drawn out in a rough form, and there were still many small streams that splitted apart from the main river and spread out.

"The path of the formations must be perfect and without any flaws. Only then can it release the most perfect strength. The paths of these one hundred and eight ancient characters still needs to be slowly improved upon!"

Ye Qingyu said to himself in his heart.

But at this time, an unexpected change suddenly happened.

From deep within the second Spirit spring, a strong surge of light shot out. The [Cloud Top Cauldron] that was nourishing within it suddenly rose by itself up high. It came up the air above the desert world, and started swirling automatically. It started enlarging, and in the blink of an eye, it was several tens of thousands of meters high, like an ancient mountain, emitting a golden bronze splendour.

This gigantic [Cloud Top Cauldron] began spinning slightly on its own.

There was faint and indistinct Great Dao sounds emitting from the cauldron.

On the walls of the cauldron, there was a bronze colour fluctuating, flickering uncertainly. There were faint patterns that seemed to glimmer slightly. There were sounds of screaming and killing from the pictures of the battlegrounds, and others were of hunting, of farming, of sacrificing, of celebrating. There was light that occasionally flickered, and sometimes illusions that appeared...

"Just what is this?“

Ye Qingyu was taken aback.

The next instant, he could see that there was a shred of mist appearing from the rivers of the desert world. As the [Cloud Top Cauldron] swirled, the mist was all absorbed within the [Cloud Top Cauldron]. The gigantic bronze cauldron seemed to be enwrapped in steam.

Ye Qingyu was shocked, then discovered that the disappearance of such mist and vapour had not weakened his own strength. Only then could he rest assured.

As such, within the desert world of his dantian ,there were both the [Fiendgod Titled Chart] as well as the [Cloud Top Cauldron], these two strange objects that were floating within the air. They became the two sources of light, one gold and one silver, letting out strange light. Faintly, such splendour intersected. It was unknown just what sort of influence this would have on the desert world as well as Ye Qingyu\'s cultivation.

Only after Ye Qingyu observed for a while did his consciousness retreat from the dantian world.

Within the stone palace, everything had returned to normal.

The first thing he did was to immediately walk out from the stone palace. He came to the floating stone steps and attempted to see if he was able to depart from the stone palace. But the result still made him disappointed. The mysterious and gentle power was still there, trapping him within the stone palace.

He had already entered into the River level of the Bitter Sea stage, could he still not protect himself?

Ye Qingyu grumbled in his heart.

But the voice of the Spirit monkey had never appeared again after disappearing the last time. The gentle power was still there, which represented that the Spirit monkey did not believe that with Ye Qingyu\'s current strength, he would be able to resist against the assassination attempts hidden in the dark.

"Lord!"

Liu Jingyan and the others gave their respect.

"Congratulations Lord. Your cultivation has broken through to the next level.Under your lead, the [Light Palace] will definitely be able to retain its former glory." Dai Youmeng said respectfully.

"Lord is young and heroic. His future is boundless. He will definitely become the pillar of Snow Empire, and is the martial star of the Human Race of Heaven Wasteland Domain. My respect towards lords is like a divine mountain, it is vast and towering and one cannot stare directly at it. It is like..." The big fatty military officer was like a flesh mountain, the flesh on his body quivering as he began pandering..."

Ye Qingyu gave him a glare, "Scram..."

The big fatty officer really became a ball of flesh as he rolled rumbling out.

Ye Qingyu was made completely speechless.

After entering the River stage of the Bitter Sea stage, Ye Qingyu could not wait to fight greatly with someone. But it was a pity he could not depart from the stone palace. At this time, he could only be patient. Above the stone foundations of the stone palace, he surveyed from high above as he gave pointers to the cultivation of Bai Yuanxing, Jin Ling\'er and the others. Before he had finished, there was someone that came to report from the outside, saying there was a guest.

The identity of the guest exceeded Ye Qingyu\'s expectations.

It was the body refining instructor in the military department training camp, Bao Shinu.

This was the first time Bao Shinu had came to the City of Light.

"I pay my respects to the Lord of the Light Palace." Bao Shinu paid his respects.

Within the training camp of the military department, Ye Qingyu was the student and he was the instruct. But right now, Ye Qingyu was in name one of the powerful ministers of the Empire, and he was the Lord of an organization like the [Light Palace] which possessed special authority. Naturally, his identity right now was completely different. Bao Shinu naturally needed to pay his respects when seeing Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu laughed greatly, and quickly assisted him through the air, "There is no need, instructor. Long time no see, I have missed you."

In the training camp, Bao Shinu as well as the battle technique instructor had taught the eighteen students martial moves, being absolutely fair and impartial. Therefore, Ye Qingyu\'s impression of the two instructors was extremely good, and he was utterly grateful. Naturally, he would not be ostentatious.

After conversing, Ye Qingyu said seriously, "I wonder for what matter have you come here for?”

As one of the people within the faction commanded by the Crown Prince, Ye Qingyu believed that Bao Shinu definitely had motives in coming here to the [Light Palace] at this moment.

Bao Shinu nodded his head. "I have something that I need the Lord to confirm."

"Please speak," Ye Qingyu said.

"Ever since you have been appointed and entered into the City of Light, months have already passed. We have not seen you make any movements whatsoever, I wonder... just what plans do you have?" Bao Shinu was somewhat hesitant, but he still straightforwardly threw this question out.

Ye Qingyu heard this, then instantly realized, this was not Bao Shinu\'s question.This was most like what the Crown Prince behind him wanted to know.

Without hesitation, Ye Qingyu roughly recounted his current situation.

"It\'s not that I don\'t want to go out. It\'s just that I\'ve been imprisoned, I can\'t help myself," Ye Qingyu said, somewhat helpesless." Right now, even I don\'t know, when I will be able to leave."

After Bao Shinu heard this, he fell silent for a long time.

All the guesses he had before were overthrown.

He had thought of many reasons, but did not imagine that the truth would be like so.

The resource and time that the Crown Prince had invested, for it to be like so... it was most likely that it was wasted. If Ye Qingyu was not able to leave within the next three or five years from the [Light Palace], then even if he left after that, he would not be of much use to the Crown Prince.

"In these months, the situation within Heaven Wasteland Domain has vastly changed.” After some thought, Bao Shinu spoke again, "Right now, the situation of the Empire is not great, and is in danger. These are not just false warnings. Are you aware of this?"

“What’s the matter?” Ye Qingyu was taken aback.
