Chapter 1045: with translation of chapter title

Azure Abyss Emperor's brow furrowed tighter, his divine sense probing toward the shattered area of Inverted Mountain.

He also couldn't perceive it!

Previously he could sense that yin-yang grand Dao, which was the Spirit Martial Emperor's unique Dao Resonance, but now he cannot perceive anything.

It really disappeared.

Azure Abyss Emperor said coldly, "That is a power intervening above the Eight Revolutions Karma Gu."

Bai Loulan felt a tingling numbness on his scalp.

This is the power of karma!

Could it be that Qi Chun Jing made a move, or that the World Tree Dao Patterns took effect?

Qi Chun Jing understood this as clearly as seeing fire.

After all, Lu Zunzhu is present; although his strength is not what it once was, concealing the power of karma would surely be a trivial matter for him.

Fortunately, these people still do not know of Lu Zunzhu's existence!

Suddenly, Yang Ling'er's voice came to Qi Chun Jing's ear: "General Qi, I have already left Inverted Mountain with my master. The dao patterns here are complete."

Qi Chun Jing's face showed a barely perceptible smile as he put away his Long Blade Li Zhu; his mission was already complete.

It was time to consider how to retreat safely.

He slapped his big hand toward the starry sky, wanting to inscribe a transcendent spatial pattern.

For a moment, an incomparably brilliant pattern kept flaring between heaven and earth; terrifying spatial force forcibly broke the will of the Azure Abyss Heaven, seeking to connect with the Everlasting Heaven.

"Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, Marsh!"

Rings of patterns began to spread outward like ripples.

"Ah—ah—ah—ah—"

Seeing this, the Azure Abyss Emperor was filled with rage, his hair flying up as if gone mad.

He could not tolerate it!

He could not tolerate it!!

The Spirit Martial Emperor had probably already left, his whereabouts unknown.

Now Qi Chun Jing wants to retreat safely again?

Don't even think about it!

If that were the case, today he would gain nothing, being played around by the Spirit Martial Emperor!

Whether it be slaughtering the stars or personally descending to the edge of the star sea, it would become a laughingstock!

The Azure Abyss Emperor flickered his form, arriving at the starry space where Qi Chun Jing was, and slapped his huge hand down upon the massive protective dome above his head.

"Boom—"

This palm was terrifyingly powerful; after a preliminary fusion of the gu into his body, his strength had surged, his heavenly battle intent blazing like a golden great sun; whenever he struck, it was the ultimate evolved attack force.

Qi Chun Jing's blade qi protective dome began to shake.

He was not worried.

For within this protective dome lay the power of the World Tree personally scattered by Lu Zunzhu.

The Azure Abyss Emperor roared in fury, "Qi Chun Jing, you dare not think of leaving my Azure Abyss Heaven unharmed today!"

His voice fell, like a surging thunderbolt.

But Qi Chun Jing paid no heed to the Azure Abyss Emperor.

Soon.

The transcendent spatial pattern inscribed by Qi Chun Jing caused divine radiance to blaze within his blade qi protective dome; the terrifying pattern force tore open a Space Channel in the Azure Abyss Heaven.

Qi Chun Jing did not look back, stepping directly into the Space Channel.

"Ah—ah—ah—ah!"

The Azure Abyss Emperor became even more frenzied!

But it was useless!

His fists pounded again and again upon the blade qi protective dome; that dome was on the verge of shattering, yet it could not be broken!

"Boom—boom—boom!"

Terrifying power descended like a vast region; divine power poured down like an ocean, enough to destroy heaven and earth, yet it could not shatter this blade qi protective dome.

Qi Chun Jing left calmly.

From beginning to end, he never looked back, nor paid any further heed to the Azure Abyss Emperor.

He ignored the Azure Abyss Emperor the whole time!

Finally, Qi Chun Jing's back vanished between heaven and earth, the Super Space Channel closed, and at that moment his blade qi protective dome shattered into endless fragments.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Between heaven and earth was a blank white expanse, everywhere the sight of blade qi being annihilated.

The Azure Abyss Emperor's dharma form stood between heaven and earth, yet at this moment it was stalled.

In this battle, his clash with the Spirit Martial Emperor ended in utter defeat here!

Although he clearly held the advantage of timing, location, and harmony, he still lost—failing to capture the Spirit Martial Emperor, failing to capture Qi Chun Jing, and not even injuring them!

This is his own territory!

Someone is defecating on his head, yet he can do nothing about it!

The Azure Abyss Emperor's rage has reached an extreme!

Heaven and earth fell into a deathly silence.

The many Azure Abyss Army dared not speak, nor even dare to look at the Azure Abyss Emperor.

This kind of deathly pressure is too terrifying.

At this very moment, whoever dares to provoke the Azure Abyss Emperor will surely die.

The Azure Abyss Emperor roared, "Speak! Speak! You useless lot, are you mocking my incompetence by staying silent?"

His voice echoed in everyone's eardrums, completely deafening.

Sun Qinghou and the others felt a sweetness in their throats and spat out a mouthful of essence blood!

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

The Commander of the Azure Abyss Army, Situ Zhen, and the others were the first to kneel, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

The Azure Abyss Emperor snorted coldly, constantly probing the Azure Abyss Heaven Star Chart above his head, but found nothing.

Countless stars flickered, brilliantly radiant, making it impossible to discern the whereabouts of the Spirit Martial Emperor.

Everything sank like a stone in the sea, making it hard to catch again!

He felt a bit regretful, having hesitated before about whether to fuse the Gu into his body, and thus missed this opportunity.

But now that it's come to this, he needs to refine the Gu power within his body and continue to strengthen himself!

Next time, if Qi Chun Jing dares to descend again, he will surely die!

After a long while, the Azure Abyss Emperor flicked his sleeve and said, "Return to Qingming Tiangong!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Numerous cloud boats tore through heaven and earth once more, bursting with brilliant starlight as they shot toward Qingming Tiangong.

Aboard the cloud boats, the atmosphere was oppressively heavy.

Bai Loulan secretly sighed, feeling they had truly missed a golden opportunity.

However, they also gained something in Gu Origin Heaven.

That is, the Azure Abyss Emperor has already fused the Gu into his body; the intent to seek death has merged with his flesh, and soon he will choose the third refinement path, completely integrating the Gu into himself.

In that case, he has actually become a member of Gu Origin Heaven, submitting to the arrangements of Gu Yue Laozi.

Only on the day of his death will he realize he had long been a pawn; it is not the Nine-turn Battle Gu, but the One-heart Seeking Death Gu… and even in death he will never discover this secret.

Moments later.

A voice rang out from the pavilion where the Azure Abyss Emperor resided: "Are you all outside laughing at me? Get in here now!"

Upon hearing this, the Commander of the Azure Abyss Army Situ Zhen, Sun Qinghou, Bai Loulan, Heze Zhanglao, and the others all stepped into the pavilion.

In the hall, the Azure Abyss Emperor sat upon his throne, the anger on his face subsiding slightly.

He looked down at Bai Loulan and said coldly, "Bai Loulan, you are guilty!"

Bai Loulan stared blankly, then knelt.

"Plop!"

He didn't know what had happened.

What does this defeat have to do with him, and with all of Gu Origin Heaven!

But at this moment, he dare not offend the Azure Abyss Emperor's divine might.

The Azure Abyss Emperor said coldly, "Back then, why didn't you advise me to fuse the Gu into my body?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Loulan's face twitched.

No.

Can this also be blamed on him?

He's drunk as well!
