Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?

Chapter 999: Chapter 817: The Death of Haotian_2

The woman in the robes chuckled as expected while looking at Li Xuan, "Future Emperor of the Four Heavenly Generations, you should be more cautious. If you fail one day, she will discard you like a worn-out shoe, leaving without a trace of reluctance."

Li Xuan replied with a smile, "The greatest enemy of Haotian, is it not precisely you Saints? Lady Queen Mother has been trapped here for ten thousand years, enduring such cruel punishment, and isn’t it all because of the Saints?"

However, his eyes revealed a contemplative look. He wondered, what was the toxin that brought Haotian to collapse, and who was responsible for it?

There weren’t many who could have slipped something past Haotian without arousing the slightest suspicion—

Even the Lady Queen Mother before him, who was severely punished by the Saints, was a suspect.

Upon hearing his words, the woman in the robes was momentarily stunned, then she laughed lightly, "You really are of the same ilk as Suiren Qiluo."

Lv Qiluo, not refuting the woman in the robes’ words, signaled to Li Xuan with her eyes to release both Lord Huang Wuhuan and the Divine Blood Azure Phoenix from within the diagram.

Then she said to the woman in robes, "Even though you are currently suppressed and imprisoned by the Saints, you are still the sovereign of the Phoenix clan in this world. You should have a way to strengthen their bloodlines, right?"

"You truly are shameless!"

The Mighty Lord of Zhuque couldn’t help but snort coldly, "This matter does not require her intervention, I’ll do it."

He merely raised his hand and pointed, and both Huang Wuhuan and the Divine Blood Azure Phoenix immediately burst into flames, burning fiercely.

Li Xuan was startled at first, but then he relaxed.

He knew the Mighty Lord of Zhuque was helping Huang Wuhuan and the others to undergo Nirvana.

’Nirvana’ is the inherent Divine Skill of the Phoenix clan, which allows them to be reborn, evolve their bloodlines, and even elevate their cultivation.

But evolving bloodlines using the method of ’Nirvana’ is extremely draining on Yuan Qi, something neither Lord Huang nor the Divine Blood Azure Phoenix could originally withstand.

Especially the Divine Blood Azure Phoenix, which wasn’t a pure member of the Phoenix lineage.

However, with the aid of the Mighty Lord of Zhuque, the blood and bones of these two birds were rapidly changing.

※※※※

About an hour later, Lv Qiluo emerged but seemed somewhat preoccupied.

Li Xuan, too, was lost in thought, but he was soon startled by the commotion within the Liuhe Zhuxian Sword Diagram.

It was the Qiongqi and Hundun he had captured within the diagram, and they were nearly tearing it apart.

Li Xuan immediately released the two beasts, and at that moment, the great doors behind him were slowly closing, as the Mighty Lord of Zhuque turned into a blazing red light and escaped through the void.

He paused beside Li Xuan for a moment, looking at him with an unusual gaze.

"You, a mere mortal who has not yet lived a hundred years, actually dare to covet the exalted position of Heaven Emperor. It’s pure madness and stupidity to the extreme. However, I now rather hope you succeed. At least my sister might then have a chance at freedom.

Also, if you plan to plunder the Outer Void, I suggest you be extra cautious. Now the forces of Gouchen and Ziwei, the two Emperors, are also searching for your whereabouts. In particular, the Ziwei Emperor, son of Wenwang who developed the postnatal Bagua, not only possesses the true lineage but also created his own Ziwei Doushu. Hence, his divinatory skills are unmatched in the world.

Moreover, Kunpeng left many contingencies deep within the sea, which must have been activated by now. You best take care of yourself!"

The Mighty Lord of Zhuque hesitated slightly, "I recommend that you open the First Emperor’s tomb before the First Emperor’s Seal is annihilated. The treasures of the First Emperor and the millions of Qin’s armored soldiers inside are the true capital that will allow you to ascend to the position of Heaven Emperor.

All the Emperors of the Heavens covet this tomb now, even believing that it contains the last chance in the world to become a Saint. Once Yuanfeng is open, you will stand no chance."

After saying these words, the Mighty Lord of Zhuque turned into a red flame and disappeared into the void once again.

Li Xuan watched the fire from afar. "This Lord harbors some intent to kill you, but the last few sentences seemed quite heartfelt."

Suiren Qiluo seemed unconcerned, "They think it’s my fault they and their brother fell to their current plight. How could they show me a friendly face? Even in the previous Heavenly Court, there were calls to punish Suiren Qiluo for the sake of world peace."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then asked Lv Qiluo, "Who do you think poisoned Haotian? And to think, even a Heaven Emperor can be trapped by a toxin?"

"Shebishi once possessed a toxic power that even the Saints would fear somewhat. However, the one that caused Haotian to fall might not necessarily be a genuine toxin."

Lv Qiluo shook her head, her eyes flashing sharply, "But now, I’ve finally understood why they moved against me first. My power of Taichu can discern the origin of all things. If they wanted to tamper with Haotian, they had to remove me first."

"Indeed, that’s likely the case."

Li Xuan thought so too, then pointed to the two eggs undergoing Nirvana behind him, "By the way, I was about to ask, these two fellows should be alright, shouldn’t they?"

"The Mighty Lord of Zhuque is straightforward and generous. He wouldn’t dare to tamper with them in front of me, and there’s no change in the original essence of Huang Wuhuan and Niulang."

Lv Qiluo shook her head, "But you must be very careful in the future. It’s best if you don’t leave me for more than a day. I wouldn’t want you to ascend to the throne of Heaven Emperor and then follow in Haotian’s footsteps."

Li Xuan, however, laughed it off. He was still far from the day he would become Heaven Emperor.

"Don’t think that day is far away."

Lv Qiluo seemed to read Li Xuan’s thoughts, her gaze intensified as she looked at him, "You only need an army of one million two hundred thousand—no! Your black gold armored soldiers are even more powerful than Haotian’s forces.
