Chapter 1023: Conquer!

"Plain-skirted woman, you've finally come!"

Sun Kong's excitement showed plainly on his face.

He extended his divine sense, only able to see Qingqiu's back, her plain skirt slightly billowing, her jade feet treading on Above the Void—she was utterly a work of art.

Sun Kong stared dumbfounded.

"She must be absolutely stunning!"

Sun Kong came to that conclusion, after all he had seen many, many women.

Just looking at her back tells you that.

He immediately gave orders to the several major powers above this star: "Don't move yet, accompany the plain-skirted woman and that bald donkey in their act; when they go to pick the Dao Source Fruit, strike directly."

"But note this: that bald donkey, just beat him to death! As for the plain-skirted woman, try not to hurt her; if she's stubborn, give her a lesson, just don't severely injure her."

Soon, the Ancestor of the Azure Flame Empire and the Ancestor of the Li Clan, etc., immediately replied, "Yes, sir! Lord Sun Kong, we will certainly capture that plain-skirted woman for you!"

Sun Kong excitedly rubbed his hands, imagining himself toying with the plain-skirted woman.

This plain-skirted woman looks aloof; conquering her would be a different kind of flavor.

Then, several flirtatious women said jealously, "Lord Sun Kong, that plain-skirted woman is clearly not a pure and chaste lady; she's a lowly person!"

"Being with a bald donkey, what kind of good person could she be?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Kong slapped her across the face.

"Smack!"

After seeing the plain-skirted woman, he lost all interest in those flirtatious women, saying, "Get out, all of you—what are you even?"

The flirtatious women immediately left the room, crying.

Sun Kong ordered Yun Zhou to pretend to leave.

"Whoosh!"

Yun Zhou immediately burst forth with a dazzling divine radiance, leaving this Abyssal Star.

At that moment, Wuwo slapped to death an Azure Abyss Soldier, then said to Qingqiu, "Sun Kong's Yun Zhou has left; perhaps he went to call reinforcements. We have little time—quick battle, quick decision."

A hint of solemnity appeared on Qingqiu's exceedingly beautiful face; she lightly nodded, and her Dao Path Sword flew back.

The last few Azure Abyss Soldiers in the distance collapsed at the call, blood spraying!

Thus, all the Azure Abyss Army guarding the outside perished!

Qingqiu and Wuwo directly slaughtered their way into the Abyssal Star.

They had anticipated this would be a hard fight.

Qingqiu shot forth following the aura of the Dao Source Fruit; wherever she passed, invincible sword intent cleared the way, her icy sword qi spanning the Void like a great river, magnificently brilliant.

"You dare intrude on the territory guarded by my Azure Abyss Army and kill my Azure Abyss Soldiers—are you seeking death?"

A roar of fury sounded.

"Boom!"

Several Elders of the Azure Flame Empire stepped into the air, their bodies surging with Spiritual Flame's might, extremely angry.

They were merely a few first-star Asking the Dao Realm cultivators.

In another direction, several Li Clan Elders shot forth, likewise first-star Asking the Dao Realm.

They knew they had become Lord Sun Kong's sacrificial pawns, but if they could capture that plain-skirted woman, it would be a great merit, earning their faction an opportunity; they would then die worthily.

The Li Clan Elder spoke righteously and sternly, "You despicable Heaven-Burying Alliance people, all under heaven—shouldn't all Dao Source Fruits be handed over to the Azure Abyss Emperor? How could they belong to you traitors?"

Qingqiu said nothing; her Dao Path Sword shot forth.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Like a meteor, it darted before the Li Clan members.

They had no power to resist, instantly slain by the sword qi!

Wuwo then offered up the Dao of Self, easily crushing the Spiritual Flame Grand Dao of several Azure Flame Empire Elders.

Spiritual Flame is useless!

Several corpses fell toward the sky.

In the shadows, a seventh-star Asking the Dao Realm powerhouse spied on Qingqiu and Wuwo; seeing Qingqiu's exceedingly beautiful visage, he couldn't help but sigh, "Such a peerless beauty—no wonder Lord Sun Kong values her. Even though I, old as I am, have spent endless years unmoved by romance, my heartstrings are still stirred."

Qingqiu's peerless beauty is truly stunning; her demeanor is like a ten-thousand-year-old cold mountain, her every gesture keeping people at a thousand leagues' distance, yet both her appearance and figure are the utmost of the utmost.

Just a single glance, and one cannot forget her.

An old woman said, "I see that bald-headed youth is also handsome and refined; I never expected this, breaking my prejudice against bald donkeys."

The other Elders had observed Wuwo, "Not bad. Even as a man, I feel this little bald donkey has extraordinary looks."

That old woman licked her lips and said, "At that point, killing this little bald donkey outright—wouldn't that be a waste?"

The other Elders said, "This is Lord Sun Kong's order."

The old woman leered, "I'll take this little bald donkey; as long as Lord Sun Kong doesn't find out, it's fine."

Saying that, she couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, things change, people change—if I were young, my beautiful legs could crush him, but now I'm old and faded, not like before. Still, this little bald donkey looks truly tender—tender enough to drip water."

Everyone: "……"

Under the covert urging of their several major powers, Qingqiu and Wuwo slaughtered their way through, narrowly escaping danger, arriving at the midst of the Abyss.

Above the Abyss, Qingqiu stood in her plain robes on Above the Void, Wuwo at her side, quietly saying, "Has this expedition been too easy? After all, a mere Dao Source Fruit is hardly worth their heavy guard; they naturally don't know of the existence of the World Tree Dao Patterns."

Qingqiu said, "The Dao Source Fruit lies within; our time is short, and I also sense a looming danger from the depths."

They gazed into the Abyss, and the Abyss gazed back.

From below, a murky blackness exuded a rich Dao Resonance, a mysterious aura most enticing.

Qingqiu jade hand lightly lifted, her Dao Path Sword shot straight toward the lower depths of the Abyss.

"Hiss!"

As the Dao-attainment sword kept falling, the sword qi turned into a white river that directly illuminated the scene within the abyss.

It turned out this was an extremely complex and obscure field.

It possessed the power of the starry sky, intertwined with the power of the World Tree, and also the power of the shattered stars; several kinds of Dao aura mingled together, forming the anomaly of the abyss as seen from the outside.

Actually, the inner space was radiant and sparkling; it was merely that the space was somewhat distorted.

「Boom! Boom! 」

Following the flashing light of the Dao-attainment sword, Qingqiu and Wuwo stepped directly toward the lower part of the abyss.

Here, turbulent distorted space currents surged.

The wind stirred Qingqiu's long hair; it was very beautiful.

Wuwo touched his own bald head; it felt cool.

Around them, several kinds of Dao power flowed, five-colored and radiant, divine splendor shimmering, extremely dazzling.

Soon.

The two descended to the heart of the abyss.

There, a branch of the World Tree drooped down, upon which condensed a fist-sized Dao-origin fruit, like a peach.

Qingqiu's divine sense swept the surroundings, seeking to grasp the overall situation and locate the whereabouts of the World Tree Dao Patterns, when suddenly a terrifying killing intent poured down from above the abyss, and a hoarse, aged voice sounded: 'We have been waiting for you for a long time!'
