Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 1129: Chapter 1129: Empress Xuan Bing

”Tai Gu, do we need to tell him everything about my lord’s situation?”

Emperor Tian’s heart stirred, and he quietly sent a voice transmission to Tai Gu.

In his view, this Water of Life was extremely miraculous; perhaps, for my lord’s injuries, it possessed some kind of divine effect.

”Emperor Tian, do we still have a choice now?”

At this moment a bitter smile surfaced on Tai Gu’s face; he sighed via sound transmission, ”This person’s cultivation base is unfathomable. You and I are as weak as ants before him. Even if we refuse, he can still enter the Depths of the Xuanbing Cave, can’t he?”

”You’re right. Putting aside his terrifying swordsmanship and Divine Techniques, just that one piece of Super God Level Armor alone gives him enough foundation to face my lord!”

Emperor Tian nodded in reply.

In the previous era, none of the Great Emperors had Super God Level treasures.

Back then, in order to seize the Slaughter Blood Evil Sword, that Super God Level Divine Sword, countless Great Emperors and Quasi-Emperor experts launched a world-shocking slaughter.

That slaughter shook the heavens and the earth, making ghosts weep and gods tremble.

When Great Emperor Level experts make a move, it’s extermination-of-the-world-level terrifying Divine Skills right from the start. That great battle at the time was fought until sun and moon lost their light, heaven and earth collapsed.

The entire world was almost beaten into countless fragments.

Innumerable living beings fell within it.

Just a single Super God Level Divine Sword was enough to trigger a struggle among many Great Emperors.

The white-robed youth opposite them actually had a piece of Super God Level Armor on his body. This meant that even if a Great Emperor made a move, they could forget about easily breaking through the armor’s defense.

Thinking of this.

Tai Gu and Emperor Tian both felt a chill run down their spines.

”You’re not wrong. This person’s strength is enough to rival a Great Emperor! And he’s been fairly good to the two of us. Not only did he heal the old injuries in our bodies, he also removed the Divine Skill bindings on us and returned our freedom...”

Tai Gu let out a long sigh.

”Alright, let me be the one to tell him.”

Emperor Tian nodded; at this moment the two of them made their decision.

Ye Yun stood off to the side. Seeing the two of them secretly communicating, with their expressions constantly changing, he only smiled faintly.

As long as Emperor Tian and Tai Gu weren’t idiots, they would definitely agree to his terms.

Whether in terms of strength or from the perspective of saving a life, these two had no reason at all to refuse.

”Sir, to speak frankly, my lord is a Great Emperor from the previous era, titled Empress Xuan Bing...”

Emperor Tian looked at Ye Yun and spoke slowly.

Empress Xuan Bing?

Ye Yun was slightly stunned.

He had guessed it was a Great Emperor, but he hadn’t expected it to be a female Emperor.

”Great Emperor Level powerhouse?”

At the side, Di Dao Lin was immediately shocked.

The Di Family was also an extremely ancient clan, descended from a Bloodline Avatar that Emperor Tian had sent out, so they had some understanding of the cultivation divisions in the previous era.

Di Dao Lin hadn’t expected that within the Mysterious Ice Cave, there was actually a hidden Great Emperor Level powerhouse.

According to the current cultivation system of the Divine Land, a Great Emperor Level powerhouse was equivalent to a Divine Emperor Level Strongman.

They had already reached the highest realm of the Divine Land.

Even in the previous era, Great Emperor Level powerhouses had reached the ceiling of combat strength of that time.

”That’s right!

Back then, Empress Xuan Bing participated in the great battle to seize the Slaughter Blood Evil Sword, but she was gravely injured and then hid within the Mysterious Ice Cave, using a method of freezing herself in ice to slow the spread of her injuries...”

Casting a glance at Di Dao Lin, Emperor Tian spoke solemnly.

Di Dao Lin was stunned. ”What is the Slaughter Blood Evil Sword?”

Emperor Tian was about to explain when Ye Yun suddenly raised his hand, his eyelids narrowing slightly as he said softly, ”Uncle Di, that sword carries ill-omen. You’d better not ask too much!”

Ill-omened?

Di Dao Lin’s heart gave a sudden jolt. He suddenly thought of something terrifying and hastily clamped his mouth shut.

Emperor Jiuying, standing to the side, hadn’t dared say a word the whole time.

She knew that any information right now was extremely confidential, and she, a monk at the first level of the King of God, was even less qualified to know.

Emperor Tian stared at Ye Yun, his gaze flickering, and asked in a deep voice, ”So you also know of the Slaughter Blood Evil Sword?”

”In the previous era, this Blood Sword triggered a heaven-toppling war. Of course I know a bit...”

Ye Yun nodded.

”That battle was fought until heaven and earth were plunged into darkness. Empress Xuan Bing seized the Slaughter Blood Evil Sword several times, yet lost it several times as well. In the end, she was ambushed by a mysterious man. With one sword he pierced her heart, leaving her gravely wounded!”

Emperor Tian sighed.

”Pierced her heart?”

Ye Yun was astonished.

He naturally understood how powerful the Slaughter Blood Evil Sword was. For Empress Xuan Bing to be pierced in the heart yet not die and endure all the way until now—one had to admit that a Great Emperor Level powerhouse’s vitality was unbelievably strong.

Of course.

This was perhaps related to the ice-attribute cultivational method Empress Xuan Bing had cultivated. She used extreme cold to Seal her injuries, so their progression was extremely slow. Barely clinging to life, she had lived nearly two centuries.

”The fighting back then was too intense. When that sword pierced Her Majesty the Empress’s heart, the attacks of several Great Emperors landed at the same time, all blasting onto that sword. But for some reason, the sword actually broke, and a section of the sword tip remained lodged in Her Majesty’s heart...”

Emperor Tian spoke with a face full of pain.

”It broke...”

Ye Yun murmured, his expression growing serious as well.

The piece obtained by the Ancestor Dragon back then was also a broken sword.

The Slaughter Blood Evil Sword had naturally broken during the struggle among Great Emperor Level powerhouses in the previous era.

He hadn’t expected that one section of the sword tip was embedded in Empress Xuan Bing’s body.

The Slaughter Blood Evil Sword was terrifying and extremely sinister, its power unique. If the sword tip was lodged in the heart, it would bring unimaginable, annihilating disaster to Empress Xuan Bing.

”Take me to see her...”

Thinking of this, Ye Yun suddenly looked toward Emperor Tian, as if he had made up his mind.

No matter what, he had to get that piece of sword tip.

”Very well, I’ll take you there at once!”

Emperor Tian said respectfully.

Tai Gu also stepped forward, his expression ugly as he shook his head and sighed, ”Things are very dangerous over at Her Majesty the Empress’s side. I haven’t gone there in many years; I don’t know what state my lord is in now...”

”What’s so dangerous?”

Emperor Jiuying, ever curious, couldn’t help but ask.

”You’ll know when we get there.”

Tai Gu glanced at Emperor Jiuying and Di Dao Lin, then looked to Ye Yun and said, ”Their cultivation bases are just too weak. It’d be better to have them leave first, so they don’t get harmed when the time comes...”

”No need!”

Ye Yun waved his hand, speaking carelessly.

Seeing that Ye Yun insisted, Tai Gu was helpless as well. He exchanged a look with Emperor Tian, and the two of them soared into the sky, flying toward the Depths of the Xuanbing Cave.

Ye Yun returned to Emperor Jiuying’s side. The three of them then rose into the air, closely following.

As the three went ever deeper.

The light pillar hanging down from the Imitation Mirror above their heads grew thicker and thicker.

”Master, it’s really getting colder and colder here...”

The Imitation Mirror muttered.

Ye Yun’s expression chilled. ”Didn’t I tell you not to talk?”

”Spare me, Master! Before, I got carried away for a moment and said a few words to them. Now there’s no outsider here—so can I talk now?”

The Imitation Mirror said pitifully.

”Fine!”

Seeing that what was done could not be undone, Ye Yun was helpless as well and could only nod in agreement.
