Source Crystal of the Moon

Ji Qingyi condensed the protective lunar radiance to the extreme. Her figure was like a ghost, shuttling through the distorted passageway.

She completely relied on the intermittent yet always - pointing - in - one - direction induction of the Taiyin and her own extraordinary spiritual sense to predict in advance and avoid those potential dangers.

"This direction seems to be going deeper into the lower levels of the Emperor's Tomb," Ji Qingyi mused silently in her heart.

She could sense that the lingering aura of the Emperor's power around her was weakening, but another kind of chaotic, dilapidated, and destructive fluctuation was strengthening.

After walking for an unknown amount of time and passing through the last narrow pass almost blocked by the substantiated chaotic airflow, the view in front of her suddenly broadened.

Ji Qingyi stopped. For the first time, an extremely solemn expression appeared on her peerless face.

In front of her was an extremely vast yet fragmented "abyss".

This place seemed to be a space that had been ruthlessly torn apart by an invisible giant hand and then kneaded at will.

The air was filled with streams of energy of various colors. These were extremely unstable, emitting a soul - trembling fluctuation. It was the remaining power of the Great Emperor level!

Although it had weakened and dispersed over the eons, even a wisp of it was enough to make a Saint - Lord - level figure stand on high alert.

"What place is this?" Ji Qingyi murmured to herself in a low voice, and her cold eyes were full of shock.

"Is there such a dilapidated and destroyed place in the Emperor's Tomb? Judging from these traces, it was definitely not formed naturally. It's more like..."

Her eyes swept across the mirror - smooth cross - sections of the huge rock formations and the voids where there were still clear impact ripples in several places. An astonishing speculation emerged in her mind.

"Could it be that before the Great Emperor passed away, he fought an earth - shattering battle with a terrifying existence here?"

Only the collision of forces at the same level could cause such a "Dao - injured" place where the Dao principles were completely shattered and the after - effects lasted for so long.

At this moment, the pure and ancient fluctuation of the Taiyin power that had attracted her became clearer than ever. It seemed to be quietly flowing and waiting at the core of this desperate land.

The path ahead was a terrifying desperate land where even a Saint - Lord might fall, as was visible to the naked eye.

But the induction that was in harmony with the origin of her Taiyin Divine Body was also at its strongest.

Ji Qingyi took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in her heart, and her eyes regained their calmness like a bottomless well.

The Saint power around her body circulated slightly, forming a thin, cicada - wing - like crystal light shield outside her plain white dress. The shield was swirling with the Taiyin origin Dao patterns.

Since she had reached this place, there was no way she would go back empty - handed.

She was extremely cautious, raising her spiritual sense to the limit, and began to try to step into this desperate land, exploring step by step towards the source of the Taiyin power fluctuation.

Inside the Burial Dao Abyss, there were hidden dangers everywhere.

Ji Qingyi walked on thin ice with each step.

Ji Qingyi raised the spiritual sense of her Taiyin Divine Body to the extreme. Her figure turned into a blurred lunar shadow, shuttling through the gaps of destruction. She dodged the suddenly collapsing fragmented law areas in the nick of time.

The deeper she went, the greater the pressure became.

Just as she was concentrating fully, a wisp of dark - golden destruction Dao mark silently passed by her side. Wherever it passed, the void silently vanished.

Ji Qingyi was alarmed in her heart. Without hesitation, she let out a clear shout: "Western Emperor Tower, protect my true body!"

A small, simple and delicate tower carved entirely from lunar divine jade flew out from between her eyebrows. It instantly expanded and turned into a three - foot - tall jade tower, hovering above her head.

The Extreme - Dao Emperor Weapon, the Western Emperor Tower, scattered billions of strands of gentle and tough lunar radiance. Like mercury flowing to the ground, it firmly protected a three - zhang radius around Ji Qingyi.

The constantly appearing and disappearing spatial cracks around were also temporarily smoothed and stabilized by the mighty pressure of this Emperor Weapon.

The pressure suddenly decreased.

Ji Qingyi let out a sigh of relief, but her expression remained solemn.

Activating the Extreme - Dao Emperor Weapon consumed a great deal of energy. Even as a Saint - Lord, she couldn't maintain it for a long time. She had to find the source as soon as possible.

With the protection of the Western Emperor Tower, her speed increased a lot.

After bypassing a huge hole constantly spewing out chaotic qi, the induction of the Taiyin power was so strong that it seemed to be right in front of her!

The sight in front of her made her stunned again.

In front of her, the Dao principles were in chaos, and the air was filled with a solidified Emperor - level killing intent and a thick aura of death.

The stone platforms, the ground, and even the void itself were imprinted with countless ferocious battle marks and broken Great Dao runes, silently telling the story of the extremely tragic battle that had taken place here at an unimaginable level.

It was an atmosphere of death and destruction that could erode and contaminate even the Dao heart of a Saint.

Ji Qingyi's eyes were firmly fixed on a black stone platform in the center of the abyss.

On the stone platform lay a huge and ferocious corpse like a mountain. It looked like a giant wolf with nine tails, all of which were broken.

The blue - black bone armor covering its body was in a state of complete disrepair, full of fist marks and slashing marks. The most fatal injury was a through - hole in the head. The edge of the hole was smooth, with a wisp of pure and overbearing annihilation Dao charm remaining.

Thick, ink - like gray - black death qi was constantly pouring out from every wound of this Nine Netherward Demon Remains.

The death qi was contaminated with the boundless resentment and chaotic evil power of the fierce beast in its lifetime. It eroded everything around it, making the space appear decayed and mottled.

Even though it had been dead for eons, the ancient fierce power emitted by its remaining body was still like a magic mountain pressing down, and it also made the Western Emperor Tower above Ji Qingyi's head shine and send out a warning.

However, right at the edge of the fatal wound on the head, a glimmer of clear radiance stubbornly shone.

A Taiyin Origin Crystal as big as a fist, round like liquid lunar radiance, was embedded between the scorched black flesh and bone armor.

The pure and ancient Taiyin power flowed like a clear spring, forming a gentle lunar halo that firmly resisted the surging death qi three feet away.

The clear radiance and the evil qi constantly annihilated at the junction, making a slight "hissing" sound, as if it was a silent purification that had lasted for eons.

What shocked Ji Qingyi even more was that beside the Nine Netherward Demon Remains that emitted boundless fierce power, there was actually a person standing calmly!

That person seemed out of place in this desperate land filled with the aura of death and the destroyed Dao principles, yet he was strangely integrated into this place, as if he was supposed to be there.

Within three inches around his body, there was not a speck of dust. The chaotic Dao principles and the filthy death qi actually detoured on their own, as if there was an invisible domain that completely separated him from this desperate land.

At the sight of that calm and indifferent face, Ji Qingyi's pupils suddenly shrank. She had seen this face before!

She remembered this face! It was the "Heavenly Human Realm" wandering cultivator who had caught her fleeting glance because of a tiny fluctuation of aura in the outer area before.

His companion was not here at the moment.

He lowered his head slightly, with his eyes fixed on the peerless fierce beast.

How could a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator appear here?!

And so calmly?!

The Western Emperor Tower above Ji Qingyi's head dropped billions of strands of lunar radiance to protect her. Standing still at the edge of the platform, looking at this scene, her cold heart was stirred up like a raging sea.

She had thought at that time that this person was not simple, but she only assumed that he was a King - Realm or Saint - Realm cultivator hiding his cultivation.

She had just taken a passing glance at that time and hadn't paid much attention!

But now it seemed that she was completely wrong! And absurdly wrong!

A King? A Saint?

Even a Saint King—or no, even a powerhouse of the ordinary Great Saint realm—could never have entered this Dao-Wound Forbidden Land so effortlessly without a supreme treasure to protect them!

Yet the person before them was completely untouched by the myriad laws, not even a speck of dust clinging to their clothes, strolling through the place as casually as if they were wandering through a courtyard!

I just saw that today’s rating has reached 8.1. Brothers, you’re incredible!

I have to keep my promise and add two more chapters.

However, I haven’t written them yet, so it’ll probably be very late before I can release the remaining two chapters.

There’s no need for everyone to wait. Just read them tomorrow morning when you wake up!
