Chapter 688: Great Emperor of Vast Wealth of the North Pole
When Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei first came to the Great Xia Dynasty, she intended to reach a cooperative relationship with the Profound Heaven Sect. However, after Ao Ling and Di Di Jiang Di Di Jiang Di Jiang Jiang Shishi told her about the matters of the Heavenly Court while at the Meng Estate, she decided to join the Heavenly Court as well.
In any case, joining the Heavenly Court meant she was half a member of the Profound Heaven Sect, which was not much different from her original goal.
The title "Great Emperor of Vast Wealth of the North Pole" was chosen by Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei herself, embodying her own beautiful aspirations.
"Great Emperor of Vast Wealth of the North Pole?" Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei's appearance instantly drew the gaze of everyone in the Imperial City.
"How did the Ancient Heavenly Court come to the Imperial City as well?"
"Who is this Qiongqi from the ancient era? According to records, the Qiongqi among the ancient Immortals should be male."
"I can't find it." Everyone was unable to find a corresponding ancient Immortal.
"Forget about that. Judging by the title, this Great Emperor is in charge of wealth. Do you think bowing to her will bring fortune?"
"That seems to make sense. Shall we try?"
"It's you people from the Heavenly Court again?" General Yu's smile faded, and his face no longer wore the carefree smile of a wanderer.
"Wu Wu Youdao's operation in Huangzhou failed because of your Heavenly Court. Now, you want to interfere again?"
"Interfere?" The white Qiongqi revealed a mocking smile.
"This Immortal Peach originates from the only Innate Spiritual Root between heaven and earth. Consuming one provides boundless mysteries; it is far more than just extending one's lifespan."
"Ancient Immortals have consumed it before. This Innate Spiritual Root was originally an item of my Heavenly Court, but unfortunately, it was lost during the Immortal War at the end of the ancient era."
"Now that the Immortal Peach has appeared in the world, we can certainly find that Innate Spiritual Root once more."
"You cultivators of the Great Yu have eyes but fail to recognize Immortal goods, actually attempting to destroy this Immortal Peach. You are truly ignorant to the extreme!"
"The only Innate Spiritual Root between heaven and earth?" General Yu was startled by this title; just hearing the name told him how extraordinary this Immortal Peach was.
That was right. To be able to revive the dying Xia Di, other than the legendary elixir of immortality, only such an Immortal object could do it.
"Why bother talking so much with a bumpkin of this later age? Boy of the Profound Heaven Sect, give the Immortal Peach to me!" A massive white tiger claw reached toward Lu Yang, resembling a small mountain.
Lu Yang stood blankly in place, terrified by the ancient Qiongqi's horrifying pressure.
"First come, first served. This Immortal Peach belongs to our Great Yu!" General Yu unleashed a flaming spirit blade that burned with spiritual power, knocking away Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei's tiger claw.
General Yu had figured it out: Xia Di was protected by the national destiny and could not be easily killed; he could only wait for him to die of old age. His mission was to prevent the Immortal Peach from reaching the Imperial Palace. As for whether the peach was destroyed or ended up in his hands, it made no difference.
Since that was the case, then it would be by the rules of the pugilistic world: whoever had the bigger fist would possess the treasure!
Countless rare spirit irons were refined into iron plates within the flames, and countless iron plates flew out, attaching themselves to General Yu to form a fully armed suit of armor.
This was his attire from when he campaigned at the end of the Great Gan Dynasty. At that time, he commanded thousands of troops and horses, high-spirited and vigorous, a hero qualified to contend for the world.
General Yu held a fire-tipped spear and charged at Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei!
"You don't know what's good for you!" The golden tiger eyes were icy cold. Qiongqi was in charge of slaughter, and her father was a ruthless character who had carved out a fearsome reputation during the ancient era. As the youngest daughter of the old Qiongqi, how could she be weak?
Roar—
The Qiongqi roared, flapping her bone wings as if countless wronged souls were wailing, shattering space. General Yu stepped on the fragments of space and headed straight for Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei!
The white Qiongqi opened her blood-red maw and bit directly onto the head of the fire-tipped spear. She twisted her head violently, throwing both the fire-tipped spear and General Yu away.
A tiger tooth mark was actually left on the fire-tipped spear, causing General Yu's expression to change. This fire-tipped spear had accompanied him through many years of battle; even when facing the Nightmare Supreme and the Yu Emperor Wu Yao, it had not been left with a scratch. He had not expected it to be damaged after being bitten by this ancient Qiongqi.
With two ancient figures locked in a great battle, Lu Yang did not dare to get involved and hurriedly ran away clutching the Immortal Peach.
"Damn, he's coming this way!" The high-ranking members of the Nine Nether Sect and the Yaoyang Sect, who were watching with great interest, were scared out of their wits when they saw Lu Yang running toward them.
As Body Integration experts, their running speed was naturally faster than Lu Yang's, so they had moved ahead to watch the spectacle.
Now that Lu Yang wanted to leave the battlefield and run toward the Imperial Palace, he naturally came toward them.
But the problem was that Lu Yang wanted to leave the battlefield, but the two Immortals in the sky wouldn't allow it!
No matter how strong the high-ranking members of the two sects were, they dared not watch a battle between Immortals at close range.
General Yu dared not clash head-on with Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei again. He activated his Dao Fruit prototype, and black-red flames appeared in his right palm, causing Sect Master Chi of the Yaoyang Sect to twitch his eyes.
He felt that the temperature of the flames in General Yu's hand was higher than the surface temperature of the sun.
That was a high temperature capable of scalding a Body Integration expert to death and burning a Tribulation Transcendence expert!
Meanwhile, a floating ice cube appeared in General Yu's left palm. The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, countless frost crystals condensed in the air, and the trees below were frozen into ice lumps that shattered at a touch.
Extreme heat and extreme cold were simultaneously controlled by General Yu. The two extreme powers used him as a boundary, yet they did not interfere with each other and remained peaceful.
Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei recognized General Yu's Dao Fruit prototype at a glance: "Mastering dual extremes; it seems you have the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit prototype."
Although Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei had not experienced the great struggles of the ancient world, she often heard her father recount those times, such as the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit of the Nine-Fold Immortal.
"If the Nine-Fold Immortal were in the Immortal stage, I truly wouldn't be able to beat him, but you... you're still far off!"
"Arrogant! Today I will let you know that the ancient is not better than the present!"
The black-red flames and black ice flew toward Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei. The fire spread, threatening to burn down space, while the black ice, though not reaching the low temperature of the Nine-Fold Immortal that could stop time, could still slow down the flow of time and make movements sluggish!
Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei extended her tiger claw and pressed down lightly. The black-red flames and black ice were subjected to pressure from above and below, compressed into a flat plane. If viewed from the front, one could only see a black line, without even a trace of height.
At first, General Yu was dismissive, manipulating the direction of the flames and ice, but soon he discovered something was wrong. He could only adjust the flames and ice forward, backward, left, or right, but could not move them up or down, as if the flames and ice were trapped in an invisible plane, losing the ability to move vertically.
Even the high heat and extreme cold they emitted could only be sensed on this plane.
The flow of time returned to normal.
In reality, being hit by the Plane Dao Fruit prototype meant one could only move parallel; one couldn't even climb over obstacles. When everyone turned into planes to move freely while infiltrating the Imperial Palace earlier, it was because Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei was intentionally controlling it.
"What kind of Dao Fruit prototype is this!"
Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei naturally wouldn't answer such a foolish question. Responding to General Yu was Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei's tiger roar.
The tiger roar formed sound waves, resembling heaven-shaking waves, layer upon layer. Under the impact of the sound waves, General Yu was pinned to that space, unable to move.
Jin Jin Jin Jin Caiwei activated the Plane Dao Fruit prototype again, intending to press General Yu into a plane.
General Yu knew well that he absolutely could not be hit, so he shouted: "Yin-Yang Exchange!"
General Yu swapped positions with his own shadow. The shadow became a plane, unable to move up or down, while he himself escaped the disaster, terrified and shaken.
