Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

”And then what happened?”

Ye Wushuang’s curiosity was piqued, too. It seemed the key to all this was the conversation between the Emperor and the Empress of Time, which led to everything that followed.

And the fact that Dijun, who also hailed from the Divine Land, had participated in the war against the heavens was even more inconceivable!

Ye Wushuang refused to believe they had done it for no reason.

”Both the Empress of Time and His Majesty Dijun were gravely wounded. His Majesty Dijun returned to the Grand Emperor Country, and according to the rumors, he vanished not long after.”

”As for the Empress of Time, she returned to the moon and also vanished shortly thereafter. Before she disappeared, however, she sought out a group of people, entrusting them to guard the moon and the Moonfall Land. They were to wait for the appearance of someone with a Sun Body and another who controlled the Time Pendant.”

Elder Yue looked at Ye Wushuang and said, ”You must be the one with the Sun Body, young friend.”

Ye Wushuang didn’t answer. He had cultivated the Ultimate Yang Technique, but he had no idea if that meant he actually possessed the Sun Body.

His focus, after all, had always been on the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body.

’The Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body is the most powerful physique there is!’

”You must be. Otherwise, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have chosen to stay with you. Before the Empress of Time disappeared, she said that the one who controls the Time Pendant would feel a great affinity for the one with the Sun Body,”

Elder Yue added.

Ye Wushuang was utterly astonished. ’This Empress of Time is terrifying! To be able to prophesize future events... her abilities are simply heaven-defying.’

’Things are getting more and more convoluted!’

Ye Wushuang began to wonder, ’What in the world are these people plotting?’

”Senior, could it be that the Lost Clan are the guardians appointed by the Empress of Time?”

A thought occurred to him, and Ye Wushuang turned to look at Elder Yue.

”That’s right. The Lost Clan is the Guardian Clan. As the Empress of Time commanded, we are to guard the Moonfall Land until she returns.”

Elder Yue didn’t hide anything. He continued, ”Of course, in addition to that, we must also protect the one who carries the Time Pendant.”

As he spoke, Elder Yue’s gaze fell on Xiaoxiao, who was standing beside Ye Wushuang.

’Protect Xiaoxiao?’

Ye Wushuang wasn’t ready to take him at his word. He changed the subject, asking, ”Senior, I was wondering, do you know if the Moon God Flower can be found in the Moonfall Land?”

”When time fades, the Moon God Flower blooms. It is rooted in the void and born from nothingness, flowering in the instant time recedes. It is not merely a Holy Medicine, as the outside world believes. It is a Heaven-Defying Holy Medicine that can extend one’s life. A person on the brink of death who consumes it can live for another lifetime.”

Elder Yue revealed the Moon God Flower’s true purpose.

Ye Wushuang was stunned. He hadn’t expected the Moon God Flower to be so heaven-defying. For a dying person to be able to live a whole new life... that was tantamount to immortality.

”The Grand Emperor Country needs this flower... there must be someone on the verge of death!”

Elder Yue was also puzzled. Only someone at death’s door would seek the Moon God Flower.

Someone at death’s door!

Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed. He hadn’t understood before. With the resources of the Grand Emperor Country, what kind of Holy Medicine could they possibly lack? Why insist on coming to the Profound North Realm to find the Moon God Flower?

’It must be to extend someone’s life.’

’But whose life are they trying to extend?’

Ye Wushuang was extremely curious. The Moon God Flower was meant for Dii Qingxue, but it wasn’t for her. It was for someone else!

’Whatever. I’ll get the Moon God Flower first and figure out the rest later!’

”The Empress of Time and the Grand Emperor Country share a profound connection. Since the Holy Country’s Great Emperor requires the Moon God Flower, I will take it upon myself to give it to you, young friend.”

”However, before that can happen, Xiaoxiao must collect the Power of Time from the Moonfall Land. The very instant the Power of Time is fully gathered, the Moon God Flower will manifest from the void and bloom. Only then can it be picked.”

...

Hearing Elder Yue’s words, Ye Wushuang turned his gaze to Xiaoxiao.

”Big Brother, I don’t know how to collect it.”

Xiaoxiao looked completely lost.

”You can use the Time Pendant. I will teach you a verbal incantation.” Elder Yue smiled kindly at Xiaoxiao and recited the incantation for her.

Xiaoxiao immediately began to recite the incantation under her breath. The Power of Time from the Moonfall Land converged on the Time Pendant, drilling into it.

Ye Wushuang knew well that the Time Pendant had been refined from an entire moon—an unbelievable feat!

Before long, nearly all of the Power of Time had been absorbed.

And in the void before the Crystal Palace, an endless torrent of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi converged. A massive flower bud, resembling an osmanthus, materialized in the emptiness and began to slowly unfurl!

A strange, wondrous fragrance permeated the Moonfall Land. Seeing his chance, Ye Wushuang shot forward, produced a Jade Box, and carefully collected the Heaven-Defying Holy Medicine.

He wondered if the people outside would try to seize the Moon God Flower for themselves if they knew of its heaven-defying power. After all, even he was tempted for a moment.

He quickly suppressed the thought, however. ’Since Dii Qingxue is the one who needs it, she must be in some kind of trouble.’

Ye Wushuang had obtained the Moon God Flower.

Meanwhile, Xiaoxiao had acquired the Power of Time. Although she didn’t yet know how to wield it, once she did, it was likely that no one would be able to harm her.

”Big Brother, what’s inside the Crystal Palace? I can feel a familiar aura coming from it.”

Xiaoxiao clutched the Time Pendant in her small, fair hand, her eyes fixed on the Crystal Palace.

Ye Wushuang looked as well. When it came to the most mysterious thing in the Moonfall Land, the Crystal Palace was undoubtedly it.

”The Empress of Time gave instructions regarding the Crystal Palace before she left. She said the time is not yet right for it to be opened. Whatever lies within will have to wait for the Young Mistress to return in the future.”

Elder Yue’s tone had changed; he now directly addressed Xiaoxiao as ”Young Mistress.”

”Young friend, now that you have the Moon God Flower, I must take the Young Mistress back to the moon,”

Elder Yue said to Ye Wushuang.

”That all depends on Xiaoxiao’s choice. If she wants to go with you, I won’t stand in your way. But if she doesn’t want to go, you won’t be taking her.”

Ye Wushuang said. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Elder Yue, but he couldn’t just accept his side of the story. He wouldn’t hand Xiaoxiao over to someone he’d only just met.

”I want to stay with Big Brother!”

But Xiaoxiao immediately clung to Ye Wushuang’s arm, prompting a wry smile from Elder Yue.

”Since the Young Mistress has spoken, I will say no more. I hope you will take good care of her, young friend. Should you face any difficulties, my Lost Clan will aid you with its full strength.”

Elder Yue gave a small smile, glanced one last time at Xiaoxiao, and then strode out of the Moonfall Land!

RUMBLE!

Elder Yue’s figure landed before the members of the Lost Clan. He then called out, ”Our business here is finished. Let’s go home.”

With that, Elder Yue led the group into the Heaven-Reaching Light Pillar.

”The Lost Clan has left, and the Moonfall Land is about to close! How are we supposed to get the Moon God Flower now?”

At this, the crowd of onlookers frowned deeply.

The Moonfall Land was about to vanish. If they didn’t get it now, they would never have another chance.

”I don’t believe it! With our Grand Emperor Power, what could possibly stop us?!”

A group from the Original People Clan, the Grand Emperor Origin Crystals on their foreheads glinting, charged toward the Moonfall Land once more, bathed in Divine Light.

The others just watched, unconvinced. That Forbidden Power was too terrifying; it could corrode any kind of energy. Even the Grand Emperor Power had been unable to withstand it.

RUMBLE!

The moment they stepped inside, the members of the Original People Clan were overjoyed. The Forbidden Power was gone!

”The heavens are on our side!”

Heimu Ye and his two companions let out a triumphant cry. Without alerting the rest of the crowd, they charged off into the depths alone.

SWOOSH!

Just then, however, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the depths.

An Ancient Battle Spear streaked across the sky, moving with incredible speed. In an instant, it pierced through the foreheads of several prodigies from the Original People Clan.

Their Grand Emperor Origin Crystals shattered, their Divine Courts pierced through!

They were pinned in the void, dying full of unwillingness!

A Holy Dao Soldier!

The shocking display of killing power forced the members of the Original People Clan right back out of the Moonfall Land!

”The prodigies of the Original People Clan are no better than dogs!”

A domineering voice boomed from the depths. The Holy Light of the Ancient Battle Spear flared, obliterating the heads of the impaled prodigies before shooting out once more, aiming to kill Heimu Ye!
