Chapter 1458
byJust as Yang Kai and Shan Qingluo were fighting with the powerful experts of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce in a fierce and intense battle, bloody and murderous scenes were also constantly staged in various places within the Imperial Garden.
Even a Returning Void Stage 3 expert couldn’t guarantee their own safety.
Although everyone knew that the interior of the Imperial Garden was full of crises, relatively speaking, the various opportunities hidden here still made them linger. There were countless martial artists who entered the interior. These martial artists from different cultivation stars and different forces, if they met, most of them would fight, and it often ended with the complete victory of one side, and the loser could only die.
In a certain place where flames were burning, the flames were rolling and the fire was monstrous all around. The scorching temperature couldn’t be easily resisted even by a Returning Void Stage 3 expert. The scene of the burning flames wasn’t real, but the wonder of the illusion array.
But the martial artists trapped in it can feel it extremely real, as if they are in the raging fire. At this moment, in this illusion array, there are three Void Returning Realm Third Layer martial artists sitting cross-legged, jointly releasing Saint Yuan to form a protective shield to resist the erosion of the flame and struggling to support.
They have persisted here for four or five days, but still can’t break this miraculous illusion array and get out of trouble. They have consumed countless Saint Crystals and pills, and their own Saint Yuan is in short supply. But the flames around them are gathering towards them like poisonous snakes. As time passes, with the ebb and flow, the situation of the three people is getting more and more critical.
Finally, the Saint Yuan of one of the three people is exhausted, and the light of the protective Saint Yuan on his body flickers a few times and then bursts like a bubble.
The complexion of this person changes drastically, and the other two even let out strange cries, desperately urging their own strength to repair the gap, but everything is in vain. Before, the three people joined forces and could barely linger here. Now that one person’s strength is exhausted, the flames gathered around them instantly submerge them like a sea wave.
Youdaoplaceholder0 rings, and soon subsided. After the flames dissipated. At this moment there are only three corpses left. There are no obvious scars, but there is no vitality at all. This is the strangeness of the illusion array.
In another place, similar to the maze that Yang Kai had passed through before, the martial artists of a sect huddled together, supporting each other and fighting bravely.
And what they were fighting against was not any living thing. They were precisely the unique ancient puppets in the Emperor’s Garden. The energy fluctuations emitted by each puppet had also reached the Void Return Stage, and there were even some at the third level.
Even though they didn’t have much intelligence and their combat methods were extremely clumsy, the number of them was astonishing.
To be fair, the number of martial artists in this sect was not small, there were a full five of them and their strength was not low either. But in this maze-like terrain, being surrounded by countless puppets from all directions, they had no way to escape.
The great battle lasted for a full half a day. The ground was full of the parts and fragments of the puppets that had been defeated, but the blood had also stained the earth red.
One martial artist after another was unable to hold on and was killed by the puppets. After half a day, the lively and noisy maze became quiet. The martial artists of this unknown sect were completely wiped out. After detecting no more breath of living people, those scarred puppets quietly disappeared again, as if they had never appeared before.
The number of martial artists who died under the restrictive array and puppets in the Emperor’s Garden was not small.
But the number of people who died in mutual fighting and sneak attacks was even greater.
Often the appearance of a certain treasure can trigger a bloodbath. In the Imperial Garden, there is no such thing as rules and morality. Only strength can speak. Whoever has stronger strength can exist safely. Brutal and bloody battles occur almost every moment.
If there is a superlative powerhouse who can fly above the Imperial Garden and look down, he will find that the Imperial Garden is actually a huge octagonal palace. The buildings located inside the Imperial Garden are arranged according to a certain mysterious law, as if containing some magical rules.
And at this time, in a palace at the center of the Imperial Garden, there are two women standing there quietly. One is wearing a black robe, looking mysterious and weird, and the other has a graceful figure and a dignified appearance, Youdaoplaceholder0 a strong smell of the peak of the Return to Void Third Layer Realm. But such a powerhouse is actually thirty zhang behind the woman in the black robe, and when looking at her back, the expression is extremely respectful.
Yang Yan and Ye Xiyun！
No one knows when they came to this palace, and even less knows what they want to do here. Just judging from the neat clothes and calm expressions of the two women, it seems that they didn’t encounter any danger or battle along the way.
The Imperial Garden seems to be unguarded against them, allowing them to easily come here.
The area of this palace is extremely spacious, reaching over ten thousand zhang in circumference.
But there is only one thing in the palace, a not-too-big white jade crystal coffin. Youdaoplaceholder0, there is no any power, but this white jade crystal coffin is suspended in the air, extremely strange.
Yang Yan is now standing in front of the white jade crystal coffin, quietly staring into the crystal coffin, with a complex expression.
There is a person lying in the crystal coffin. Judging from the figure, it is clearly a woman. Looking at her appearance, it is exactly the same as Yang Yan. If Yang Kai were here, he would surely be able to recognize who the person in this crystal coffin is.
Starry Sky Great Emperor！
A powerful existence who unified the entire star field tens of thousands of years ago. Her legend is still well-known today. The Star Emperor Token refined by her is still coveted by various forces. Any force that obtains it will regard it as a treasure of the sect and will not easily use it. Only when on the verge of life and death and extinction will they invite out the Star Emperor Token and release the divine ability sealed in it by the Great Emperor.
Her status is lofty, she can cover the sky with one hand, and she is the peak of the entire star field！
However, no one knows that this famous Starry Sky Great Emperor is actually a woman. Perhaps her gender has long been forgotten by the world in the long river of history, or perhaps no one has ever seen her true face, but her prestige has been passed down through the ages.
Looking at the woman in the crystal coffin, Yang Yan had the illusion of looking in the mirror. The figures and appearances of the two were exactly the same. The only difference was their auras.
Even in a deep sleep, the Great Emperor’s face exuded a kind of majesty, a kind of nobility that made people dare not look directly at It seemed that even looking at her once was a great sin.
“So this is what I look like.” Yang Yan murmured softly.
“My lord！” Ye Xiyun called out, thinking that Yang Yan was going to give her some instructions.
“It’s nothing.” Yang Yan replied indifferently. “I’m just talking to myself.”
Ye Xiyun didn’t dare to say more and lowered her head, standing there waiting.
Yang Yan took a light breath, turned her head to look around, and sighed slightly： “This Yuanwu Soul Summoning Great Array should almost be activated.”
At this moment, in this huge palace, one profound and complex rune after another lit up on the ground and walls. As those runes were lit, the entire palace was gradually filled with a mysterious power. Standing here, Ye Xiyun could faintly hear beautiful music ringing in her ears, as if someone was calling her in her ears. She even had the urge to escape her soul and spirit body from her body.
As soon as this thought came up, Ye Xiyun couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
The spiritual soul body is extremely fragile and is generally hidden in the sea of consciousness. Ordinary warriors will not release the spiritual soul body unless they encounter extremely dangerous situations. However, once it leaves the body and cannot find a suitable carrier, the spiritual soul body will dissipate between heaven and earth within half a day, and the soul will be completely wiped out.
Ye Xiyun had never heard of the Yuanwu Soul Summoning Great Array and didn’t know what wonderful uses it had. But through her own situation, she could infer that this was definitely related to the awakening of the Great Emperor.
And as one warrior after another fell in the Imperial Garden, the number of dim runes lit up in the palace where Yang Yan was located also increased. It seemed that the Yuanwu Soul Summoning Great Array here was related to the death of the warriors outside and was activated at the cost of their lives.
Yang Yan would never do such a thing, but the Great Emperor could.
The Imperial Garden was opened to the entire star field. All the warriors who entered this place had to be prepared for the psychological preparation of falling. They searched for treasures here and naturally accompanied great risks.
No one forced them to enter the Imperial Garden. Everything was voluntary. Now that they have fallen here and become the power source for the activation of the Yuanwu Soul Summoning Great Array, there is naturally nothing to complain about.
For his own awakening, what does it matter if some people die？ In the eyes of the Great Emperor, these Void Return Mirror warriors may not even be as good as ants.
Seeing that there were still more than a dozen runes in the palace that had not been lit up, Yang Yan couldn’t help but turn around and take a look at the entrance.
But there was nothing there, no one came.
Even seeing him for the last time has become a luxury…
Yang Yan had never felt that time passed so quickly. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the entire palace shone brightly, and all the runes had been lit up. The Yuanwu Soul Summoning Great Array set up here rumbled into operation.
One after another runes flew out from all directions of the palace, as magnificent and beautiful as shooting stars chasing the moon, and all rushed into Yang Yan’s delicate body.
Yang Yan couldn’t help but show a painful expression.
Ye Xiyun stared blankly, but at this moment, she couldn’t help at all. Even moving a finger felt extremely difficult. She had become a spectator and could only pay attention to this thrilling historical moment.
“Elder Ye…” Yang Yan’s shout suddenly came from there.
Ye Xiyun quickly replied, “This subordinate is here！”
“No matter what I become in the future, you assist Yang Kai well！”
Ye Xiyun was stunned for a moment, and then gritted her teeth and replied, “This subordinate will follow your lord’s order！”
Yang Yan’s order was equivalent to the order of the Great Emperor. She wouldn’t ask the reason, but would only obey the order and execute it.
Vaguely, within that dazzling white light, Ye Xiyun seemed to see a delighted smile. Immediately afterwards, the light blazed forth, completely enveloping Yang Yan and forming a ball of light. And that ball of light gently swayed and directly shot into the white jade crystal coffin. Yang Yan also disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, the entire palace returned to calm, as if nothing had happened before.
All the lit runes dimmed, and the operating Yuanwu Soul-Calling Great Array had also stopped. In the great hall, only Ye Xiyun was left alone, along with that crystal coffin suspended in mid-air.
