Imperial God Emperor 744 - Sinful Pit

Chapter 744, Sinful pit
“Haha, I have to admit that the battle between the Saintess of Jade Pearl and the Little Princess of the Black Demon Raceace an hour ago was really earth-shaking. Even the weather of the Black Demon Abyss was affected.”
“Right, if we hadn't hid far enough, we would have died under the impact of their power, just like these fools.”
“I didn't expect the young Little Princess of the Black Demon Race to be so strong.”
“Of course, she is the princess of the Black Demon Race, this is her territory. But the Saintess of Jade Pearl is really brave to challenge the Little Princess on the territory of the Black Demon Race, she really is impressive.”
“That Saintess of Jade Pearl is very fierce, do not anger her. She was able to take on so many moves of the Little Princess, they are equally excellent.”
“Do you want to guess who’s going to win in the end?”
“It’s difficult to say. When the two broke through the Void and left together, they did not look injured. It seems like they can fight for another eight or ten days.”
The group of people gossiped among each other as they left.
Hearing the conversation, Ye Qingyu was a little surprised.
It seemed that the two strong and terrifying auras he had sensed before were from the Saintess of Jade Pearl and the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race.
A fight had actually broken out between the two women.
Was it also because of the treasures that spurted out from the demon tide?
Although Ye Qingyu did not know the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race, but from the rumours he heard along the way, she appeared to be a young, successful, and very strong woman.
As for the Saintess of Jade Pearl, although Ye Qingyu had not seen her before, he had already heard about her deeds in the Poisonous Flower Cave in the 15th district.
It seemed that a number of unexpected variables had been born in the 17th district.
An hour later.
Ye Qingyu had travelled more than two thousand meters in the direction of the depths of Taowu Mountain Range.
After crossing a mass of dense wave-like Black Demon qi, three huge mountains suddenly appeared in front of him. These three mountains looked very similar to each other, entirely black, and the surface was flickering with a strange brilliance. They were blocking a fork in the road formed from the underground river.
Ye Qingyu came to a halt.
“This... No, it's not mountains, it's... three corpses!”
Ye Qingyu suddenly reacted.
There was a powerful demonic force surging in the Void. The residual demonic forces on the three mountains were incessantly being dissipated, converging into a cluster of bizarre power, that even the ubiquitous Black Demon qi in this space was isolated and dispersing away.
In the eyes of Ye Qingyu, there was a faint flow of purple thunder and lightning.
He saw everything much clearer.
It was the body of three giant experts of the Sand Scorpion clan, thousands of meters high, piled together and emitting a visible brown demon qi and nauseating strange smell.
The strands of fur that covered their bodies were defined, biting cold, and like poisonous needles that had lost their demonic attributes. The tail of each corpse was pointing upwards, entangled with each other, and stacked into a winding mountain.
Around the body, the venom had gathered into a brown lake several meters deep. From a distance, it was as though the three connected mountains were located on a blood lake.
“A scorpion of this size must be an expert of at least the Third Step of the Immortal Step boundary, but they died here... and it looks like the three people were killed by one blow at the same time... what kind of person is able to kill all three of them?”
The more Ye Qingyu looked, the more shocked he was.
Even a demon expert of such a level was slaughtered like a pig here, and its body was not preserved even after death. The extent and tragedy of the battle and competition here was evident.
Ye Qinyu stopped for a moment before he continued ahead.
He had no time to pay attention to these things.
But at that time——
“Want to go over there to dig treasure? Little fellow, do you not know the rules!?” a voiced suddenly echoed from the three huge scorpion corpses.
It was only then that Ye Qingyu noticed that among the three enormous scorpions, there actually were the presences of other experts. They were like rats, breaking open the shell of a huge scorpion, digging into the inside of the body little by little, digging for flesh and blood.
And, there was more than one.
Continuously there were voices coming from the corpses.
“Kekeke, these three corpses already belong to our Mountain Penetrating Sect, no one can come near!”
“Come on, get out of here or you'll die.”
The ‘rats’ that call themselves the Mountain Penetrating Sect appeared to be very arrogant, and were exuding a powerful killing intent, like a tiger watching its prey.
Ye Qingyu did not want to interfere in their business, and left right away.
He could hear the sound of sniggering and taunts coming from behind.
“I don’t know where that worm comes from. To think he wants to snatch from us, he really overestimates himself.”
“Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and work, the Sand Scorpion of the Quicksand Valley are full of treasure, poisonous needles, venom, organs, and inner yuan... which are all top materials for refining pills and medicine.”
“Yes, get to work, quickly hollow out the three bodies before the Berserk elder of the Quicksand Valley arrives, or we'll all be dead.
“That’s right, speaking of it, fortunately the Third Prince of the Kaiyang clan needs to go after that woman. He just killed the three sand scorpions, took the treasures on them and left, otherwise we would not have such a good opportunity!”
“I did not expect the Third prince of the unknown Kaiyang clan to be so strong. He was able to kill three law enforcement elders of the Sand scorpion clan in one move....”
These words was transmitted into Ye Qingyu's ears.
It seemed that the attack was performed by the Third Prince of the Kaiyang clan.
Ye Qingyu had a little impression on the name. Back when the Saintess of Jade Pearl massacred the Poison Flower Cave, he had heard people mention that the Third Prince seemed to pursuing the Saintess of Jade Pearl.
At that time, Ye Qingyu did not think too much about it. He thought that he was like Lu Li, whose strength did not match up to his fame. But now it seemed that his strength was too terrifying and far exceeded that of Lu Li and Yang Wanqu given that he was able to kill three of the Law Enforcement Elders of the Sand Scorpion clan.
Ye Qingyu dared not to underestimate him.
For the next hour, he quickened his pace and continued towards the position of the demon tide explosion.
Along the way, he witnessed an unending stream of slaughter.
On several occasions Ye Qingyu had to stop to fight back. He wasted some time to settle several opponents, but this also increased the number of wounds on his body.
Suddenly, in the Void above the Black Demon qi in the distance, an extremely strong and sinister qi like a cloud of fire in the sky was directly suppressing the Black Demon qi.
The Void was suddenly filled with an extremely evil aura.
Even with Ye Qingyu’s eyesight, he had long been unable to see through the Black Demon qi. But he could sense that the clouds of fire contained a terrifying power of laws.
There was going to be another attack from a top expert no less weaker than the Third Prince of the Kaiyang clan.
“Who's it going to be?”
Ye Qingyu trotted toward the canyon shrouded in fire clouds.
Soon, there were tragic battle cries, miserable shrieks of death, and roars of anger falling incessantly on his ears. It was evident that an incredibly bitter fight was taking place.
Ye Qingyu rushed over.
In the desolate and gloomy canyon, a group of figures enveloped in sinister aura was frantically encircling and killing several Human Race experts in dark long robes.
The majority of the Human Race experts were around the First Step of the Immortal Step boundary, but there were a few lower than the Immortal Step Realm. It was unclear how they were able to survive to here. Standing back to back, shoulder to shoulder, they were putting up a last desperate struggle.
Ye Qingyu hesitated for a moment and finally chose to act.
He made a backhand grab in the Void, summoning [Blood Drinker Sword] to his hands. Waving the huge broadsword about, Ye Qingyu turned into a stream of light, charging into the group.
Pff!
Jets of blood spurted out.
A foreign race expert was severed at the waist.
The power of the [Blood Drinker Sword] erupted out, instantly drawing and purifying all the blood and essence of the body. The body landed on the ground, and upon a gentle touch, was reduced to a pool of powder.
Although Ye Qingyu had rarely used sword skills during this period of time, he had already fully mastered the three major sword techniques, the Human King Sword Mantra], [Divine Emperor Sword Mantra], and the [Life Sword Mantra]. A gush of sword intent burst forth and, like a tiger treading into a flock of sheep, a dozen foreign race experts were turned to ashes...
“Who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of Sinful Pit?”
“You want to die?”
“You're dead!”
The foreign race experts were both frightened and enraged, roaring aloud in fury.
Ye Qingyu also did not say a word, his figure flashed as he brought his sword down in a downward slash. Invisible sword intent streaked through the sky, directly severing the leader of the foreign race expert into two halves.
The rest of the foreign race experts, scared out of their wits upon seeing that, turned away and fled.
Ye Qingyu put his sword away and did not give chase.
“Thank you for your rescue.”
“My Scenery Sect will never forget your great kindness.”
The saved Human Race experts promptly expressed their gratitude to Ye Qingyu with a somewhat guarded expression. Each and every one were still in a panicked state.
“Guys... sigh, don't be too greedy, quickly go, this is not where you should be.” Ye Qingyu glanced at the people and shook his head.
“Thank you senior, we also know that, it's just... sigh, we came with the elders of the sect, who knew that...” One of the older experts closely studied Ye Qingyu for a moment, then responded in a hoarse voice, “Who knew that our luck is too bad. We unexpectedly ran into the Young Lord of the Sinful Pit, who swallowed three Immortal Step realm experts from our Scenery Sect... that's why we ended up in this situation.”
“Sinful Pit?” Ye Qingyu was puzzled.
He had heard about the Sinful Pit two times already today.
The terrifyingly sinister aura that he sensed before should be that of the Young Lord of Sinful Pit when he swallowed the three Immortal Step realm experts of the Human Race Scenery Sect.
The Scenery Sect really was unlucky.
If he had not helped out, they most likely would have been completely destroyed.
“Yes, those evil foreign race experts are the people of the Sinful Pit. Senior has angered them by helping out, you must be careful. Those people are vengeful and ruthless. Like maggots, once infected, it is difficult to get rid of them,” one of the experts kindly reminded.
Ye Qingyu nodded.
“What kind of place is the Sinful Pit?” Knowing that he had brought trouble onto himself, Ye Qingyu could not help asking further.
When the Human Race expert heard Ye Qingyu’s question, he hurriedly told him everything that he knew.
It turned out that the Sinful Pit was a place that accommodated experts of great sin and evil. Like the Black Demon Abyss, this place was not ruled by law. The only difference was that the Sinful Pit was a strange place where crime is glorified and the higher the evil committed, the higher the position of power is acquired.
Ye Qingyu nodded in response, “Everyone, I am here to find the Black Demon Herb. Would any of you happen to have any information on the Black Demon Herb?”
The several Human Race experts glanced at each other.
They were extremely grateful to Ye Qingyu, therefore they did not hide anything that they knew. “We have not seen the Black Demon Herb, but I have heard that there were Black Herbs spurting out the Door of Darkness after the eruption of the demon tide, but they were acquired by the major forces. Black Demon Herb is rare and precious, and will not fall into the hands of ordinary people.”
Ye Qingyu nodded thoughtfully.
It seemed that the news of the demon tide spurting out Black Demon Herb was not fake.
