Chapter 1112 – You Are Not Worthy
Translator: Aran
When Ye Chen boasted earlier than he had mastered the remarkable abilities of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Spokesperson Li and the others had treated his words with contempt even though Ye Chen had indeed displayed his powerful strength to defeat them.
They thought that those techniques that he exerted were imitation techniques designed to emulate the remarkable abilities of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Now that they saw Ye Qingyu\'s expression, they realized that Ye Chen might not have been boasting after all and that those techniques were not imitation techniques either.
All Human Race martial artists would look up to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and even sects like the Four Stars Sect that had already fallen to the dark side had also looked up to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Since the ancient times, both evil and good people had idolized them.
Those eight human Martial Emperors were the pillars of the entire Human Race.
If Ye Chen was truly the successor of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, then this would make the situation harder to deal with since it would no longer be about their individual strength.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The formation light ripped across the sky and golden formations moved like swarms of tadpoles and spread madly across the void. They moved incredibly quickly like an endless nest of hornets to surround Ye Qingyu. Each formation carried with it a destructive power as though it was a character written by a divine god.
Ye Chen had displayed the true power of a Quasi-emperor.
"He had truly exerted the mysterious technique of the [Formation Emperor]," Ye Qingyu thought to himself and came to his own conclusion.
"Ha ha ha, what do you think? Have I frightened you?" Ye Chen laughed heartily as he continued to send out handprints to control the golden formations that continued to close in on Ye Qingyu with the intent to wipe him out from this universe.
Ye Qingyu looked at him and shook his head. Then, he also formed a handprint of his own.
"Disperse!" He exerted a mysterious technique that was part of the one hundred eight ancient characters and merged it together with several formation techniques he had picked up from the suspicious palace of [Formation Emperor Luosu]. Then, a silver \'disperse\' character appeared in front of his chest and he gave it a gentle push.
Swish!
This character ripped through the air like lightning and shot into the golden formations that filled the sky.
Pop!
There was a soft sound that sounded like a bubble had burst.
The golden formations that covered the sky disappeared swiftly as though it had only been a mirage without any traces of energy waves or any surge of vibration.
That was a brilliant technique.
Once again, he had easily overcome Ye Chen\'s Martial Emperor mysterious techniques.
Surprise flickered across the faces of the elderly servant and the [Yellow Sand Hundred Battle Golden Armored] soldiers.
They knew how powerful their patriarch was and had absolute confidence in his abilities.
Ye Qingyu had stunned the entire Vast Thousand Domains with his power by killing two Quasi-emperors in succession and it could even be said that his authority was matchless throughout the world and that he was on track to become the most powerful person in the world. They had expected Ye Qingyu to overcome their master\'s [Heavenly Warning], but they assumed that it would take some effort for him to overcome that particular attack, so the fact that he managed to overcome it this easily shocked them.
"You…" Ye Chen was equally shocked.
He noticed that Ye Qingyu\'s handprint seemed slightly familiar to him, as though it was also a legacy of the Luosu formations, and that \'disperse\' character had targeted the most critical part of his [Heavenly Warning]. This was how it managed to destroy the entire formation with one move and it even prevented him from employing the other traps that he had hidden within his attack earlier.
"If you are truly the successor of the legacies of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the techniques that you\'ve exerted thus far are way too simple and it\'s an insult to their name," Ye Qingyu said. "Show me your true abilities or you will die a horrible death."
If he used the names of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to trick people, the consequences would be dire.
Ye Qingyu speculated that Ye Chen might have stumbled across several ruins and artifacts of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors by a stroke of luck and obtained some legacies from those places and that it was impossible for this man to be the true successor of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Nonetheless, this fact was equally shocking since any skill or mysterious technique that had to do with those eight Martial Emperors were bound to be earth-shatteringly powerful.
"Very well," Ye Chen clenched his jaw. "You have not disappointed me and you\'re a worthy opponent, so I\'ll let you die by the true remarkable ability of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors…. [Blazing Mark of the Three Flames]!"
He clapped his hands together in front of his chest, then slowly drew them apart.
The [Blazing Mark of the Three Flames] appeared in the gap between his palms.
The temperature in the main hall immediately skyrocketed.
Everyone felt as though they were plunged into scorching magma and their throats felt parched and dry. A visible crimson mist circulated within the [Blazing Mark of Three Flames] and twisted like a ray of light. The searing power of the blazing mark was definitely not like that of an ordinary flame.
Was this the remarkable ability of the [Heavenly Fire Emperor]?
Ye Qingyu\'s pupils immediately shrank until they were as narrow as the point of a needle.
Did Ye Chen truly master one of the mysterious techniques of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors – the [Heavenly Fire Emperor]?
He immediately realized that his earlier deduction had been wrong.
There was definitely something fishy about Ye Chen\'s identity and origins.
Even if he had stumbled upon some techniques through the ruins of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it would be impossible for him to master the mysterious techniques of the [Lightning Emperor], [Formation Emperor], and [Heavenly Fire Emperor] at the same time because the legacies of those three Martial Emperors could not possibly be found at the same location and the possibility of Ye Chen stumbling across three separate ruins that contained the legacies of these Emperors was far too small. Since the ancient times and for more than several million years, there were only a handful of martial artists that had actually found their way to one of the ancient relic sites of these Martial Emperors, so there was no way he could have found his way to three sites by chance.
Furthermore, the [Blazing Mark of the Three Flames] definitely belonged to the [Heavenly Fire Emperor] because he could clearly sense the true aura of a Martial Emperor within it.
Ye Qingyu was now also a Quasi-emperor, so he couldn\'t be wrong about this.
Lin Yutang and the others had also warned him that Ye Chen possessed a true Emperor weapon, so were they referring to the [Blazing Mark of the Three Flames]?
Ye Qingyu did not dare to underestimate this Emperor weapon and thus, he immediately summoned the [Cloud Top Cauldron] that appeared above his head and released thousands of bright yellow silk strips that protected him.
"Ha ha ha, is this the defensive artifact that has protected you from all the dangers you\'ve faced thus far? I\'ve heard about this, but there is no way it\'ll be able to protect you from my [Blazing Mark of the Three Flames]. This is a true Emperor artifact… Kill!"
Ye Chen laughed and exerted the blazing mark that then charged at Ye Qingyu.
The dazzling glow of the flames almost caused the entire hall to melt.
The power of fire laws surged.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] trembled as though something had stimulated it and the inscriptions on its body floated out and swirled around the cauldron. It seemed like a strange magical ability had been activated.
Boom! Boom Boom!
There were countless collisions in that instant.
Everyone had already lost their sense of hearing after the first ear-splitting explosion and everything in front of them was a white blur, so they could not see anything else.
This moment seemed to last for an entire era but it could have also been as fleeting as an instant.
The booming noises faded away.
The red dazzling glow also gradually dissipated.
Everyone immediately exerted their martial arts techniques to regain their sense of sight and peered into the battlefield.
They were all wondering the same thing – who was the victor?
Soon, the answer was clear.
Ye Qingyu looked strangely at the [Cloud Top Cauldron] while Ye Chen was a picture of astonishment. He looked slack-jawed at Ye Qingyu and pointed at the [Cloud Top Cauldron], but gaped as though he had lost the ability to speak.
Upon closer examination, the [Blazing Mark of the Three Flames] did not return to Ye Chen but instead, it had been absorbed by the outer walls of the cauldron. Ye Chen had clearly lost control over those flame prints.
Uh...
That had been an Emperor weapon of the [Heavenly Fire Emperor].
"You… what kind of despicable dark arts did you use earlier?" Ye Chen said as he frantically pinched out handprints. However, he was no longer able to get a reaction out of the [Blazing Mark of the Three Flames] that he could usually control with ease. It was as though the connection between him and the flame prints that had been immersed in his body for decades had been thoroughly severed.
How could he remain calm at the thought of that?
That had been an authentic Emperor weapon and it was not a Quasi-emperor weapon nor a fake Emperor weapon that were all just imitation goods, so how could it fall into his opponent\'s hands so easily?
"Dark arts?" Ye Qingyu looked at the [Cloud Top Cauldron] strangely, then he looked at Ye Chen and said, "I don\'t know where you\'ve stolen your cultivation from either, so I\'m surprised that you dared to even mention the dark arts."
He was surprised to hear the words \'dark arts\' from someone who was already a Quasi-emperor. This showed that there was a problem with his knowledge and mental state and it left him speechless.
"How… how did you do that?" Ye Chen was both livid and surprised. He was unable to believe that such a thing could have happened.
Ye Qingyu said coldly, "Only those with good moral character would be worthy of possessing the precious treasures of the [Heavenly Fire Emperor]. You\'re not worthy so your Emperor weapon has abandoned you; it is as simple as that. It is a pity that you can\'t even understand this principle."
"You… are uttering nonsense," Ye Chen sputtered. He was so livid that he could have vomited blood and he was utterly exasperated. He knew that this was definitely not the reason behind that strange phenomenon, but he could find no other explanation.
The others all showed varying reactions to Ye Chen\'s rage, but most of those present believed Ye Qingyu\'s explanations. After all, the weapons of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were supreme treasures that had a mind of their own, so it was plausible for them to choose their master.
Several people looked at Ye Qingyu with more respect and fear than before.
Frankly, Ye Qingyu was also rather surprised.
He didn\'t know what had happened either.
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] seemed to have lost control when they exchanged blows earlier and a magical ability that he wasn\'t aware of had been activated. Then, it had taken control of the [Blazing Mark of the Three Flames] and absorbed it to its outer walls. This was not a deliberate instruction on his part.
He could also sense that the [Blazing Mark of the Three Flames] didn\'t show any signs of resistance either. No matter how hard Ye Chen exerted the technique to control it, this weapon reacted like a woman who had abandoned her lover for another man and refused to budge.
Ye Qingyu gently exerted the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and mentally sent the [Blazing Mark of the Three Flames] into the storage space within the [Cloud Top Cauldron]. He sent a wisp of his divine consciousness to examine this weapon and noticed that the foreign forces within the flame prints had been completely exterminated. If he wanted to, he could easily refine this weapon to recognize him as its master.
That was truly a bizarre phenomenon.
Ye Chen was a Quasi-emperor, so theoretically, it shouldn\'t have been so easy robbing him of the Emperor weapon that he had refined. What exactly had happened there?
"Ah ah ah, Ye Qingyu, you have successfully provoked me," Ye Chen growled and his face was flushed as he thundered, "That was just a small artifact, ha ha, I\'ll treat it as a gift to you. I\'ve got far too many of such items anyway… [Formless Armor of Shifting Clouds], I summon you! Ye Qingyu, I\'m going to beat you up alive!"
He still had other Emperor weapons on him.
