Chapter 1212 - This Emperor Wants You Broken!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The little fire dragons were not that formidable. If the Fire Dragon Sword had not swallowed the Mystic Divine Saber and become a divine artifact, the fire dragons might not have much effect on the stone monsters.

At that moment, the fire dragons were not doing much harm either; however, they barely were able to break the stone monsters into pieces. These small fire dragons were part of a mid-tier dao pattern. Summoning them did not consume too much essence force so Jiang Yi could summon them at will. He kept shooting little fire dragons at the stone monsters, causing the latter to retreat. At the same time, Jiang Xiaonu carried them to the reef closest to them.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Each time the small stone monsters attacked, their bodies would roll for tens of meters in the air before they roared loudly. Once Jiang Xiaonu landed on the reef, Jiang Yi sent her into the Mystic Divine Palace to take a break. He kept attacking the small stone monsters, stopping them in their tracks and hoping that they would give up their attack midway.

However, after several minutes, he discovered that the small stone monsters had no intention of backing off at all. All he could do was ask Jiang Xiaonu to bring him far away once again. At that moment, he did not dare to use his Divinity Slayer anymore; much less did he dare to think of a way to kill these stone monsters.

If he killed the small ones, the boss would come for sure!

This was almost a rule of the world. If these small monsters could turn up in this strange space’s sea region, that meant that there were even bigger stone monsters and even older ones. These small stone monsters were quite strong, but one could only imagine the danger Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu would be in if just a couple of older and stronger stone monsters came for them.

Now, their main goal was to look for a bigger island or a continent. This way, they would be able to let everyone out; and all of them would be able to work together to find an escape route.

“Go!”

After Xiaonu finished resting, Jiang Yi cried out once again. He kept summoning his attacks to stop the small stone monsters from coming any closer to them. Jiang Xiaonu carried him and began flying as fast as she could.

Bang, bang, bang!

Slowly, Jiang Yi realized that there were more and more small stone monsters. They attracted more small stone monsters to them as they traveled. Two hours later, there were more than a thousand small stone monsters hot on their trail. From the looks of it, the number would only keep increasing.

“Young Master, there is a huge island there!”

Four hours later, Jiang Xiaonu suddenly called out in shock. Jiang Yi looked through the dense crowd of small stone monsters and looked overjoyed immediately. There was indeed a black shadow there. From this distance, it really looked like a huge island.

“Go!”

Jiang Yi had been attacking for more than six hours straight. Although he was using pretty basic attacks, the number of small stone monsters was only increasing. Jiang Yi could not stop summoning his attacks to prevent the small stone monsters from getting closer to them. Of course, he was feeling tired.

Swish!

Jiang Xiaonu was feeling even more exhausted, but at least the end was in sight. As long as they managed to get to the big island, they would be able to teleport the rest of the group out of the palace. The two of them would then finally be able to take a break.

Ten minutes later, the two of them finally arrived at the island. The strange thing, however, was that the small stone monsters were no longer attacking them. They watched as the two of them arrived at the island, they turned back and disappeared into the sea.

“Xiaonu, go down. Don’t wander too far. There might be strange things on the island.”

Jiang Yi saw the look in the small stone monsters’ eyes and quickly directed Jiang Xiaonu. The two of them landed on the beach. Immediately, Jiang Yi retrieved the Mystic Divine Palace and teleported everyone, including Xiao Fei out.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Buddha Emperor and the others were ready for battle. The moment they emerged, they looked around with killing intent in their eyes. Once they were sure that they were safe, they turned to face Jiang Yi. “What’s the situation?”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly. “We’re safe for now. This island is quite big, but there is probably something strange here. Don’t wander about, everyone. Be prepared where we are. Xiaonu and I will take a break first!”

Once he finished speaking, Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu allowed the Mystic Divine Palace to rest on the beach. Then, they both entered the palace and took a nap in one of the rooms in the Mystic Thearch Pavilion. Jiang Yi did not bother about what was happening outside anymore. After all, Yi Chan would hit the Mystic Divine Palace if anything was happening. He would be able to sense that.

“Let me send people to take a look first?”

The Yin Emperor looked around for a while and began discussing their next move with the Buddha Emperor. The Buddha Emperor frowned and said, “Let’s stay prepared here. We’ll wait for Jiang Yi to wake up before we think of our next move.”

“Why should we wait for him? Is this entire group not better than him?”

The Yin Emperor was feeling indignant. He waved his hand and brought three Demigods along with him as he said, “Old Six, we will split up and search the area. If we find anything suspicious, report before doing anything.”

The Night Emperor waved his hand as well. “Go and help to search the area.”

The Buddha Emperor and Xuan Emperor exchanged a meaningful look. Feeling slightly frustrated, they said to their subordinates, “Go and help to search as well. Form groups of three, but don’t go too far. Once you sense something amiss, retreat immediately. If you find yourself in danger, report back and ask for back up.”

“Yes!”

The Yi Clan and Ling Clan’s Demigods received these instructions obediently. The twelve Demigods formed four groups that spread out throughout the sea region. The Buddha Emperor and Yi Chan sat on the ground cross-legged, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

…

Buzz!

In just an hour, the Yin Emperor and Night Emperor’s command tokens lit up. Both of their expressions changed immediately. They shouted, “Something’s happened!”

The two of them shot out as quickly as a bullet. The Yin Emperor glanced at Yin Ruobing. “Follow them. I’m going to take a look.”

“Majesty Father, don’t be rash!”

Yin Ruobing was getting anxious. The Yin Emperor was not that strong. He was at best a seven-star martial artist. Although he had a few ancient artifacts on his hands, his skills were not that much better than the Demigods of the Yin Clan. Yin Ruobing activated her essence force and hit the Mystic Divine Palace, causing the Mystic Divine Palace’s restrictions to light up. Jiang Yi teleported out of the palace almost immediately. In a cold voice, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Swish!

The Yin Emperor became even more upset upon seeing Jiang Yi. He charged forward with the Night Emperor following closely behind him. Through the command token, he tried to sense where his clan’s Demigods were.

The Buddha Emperor and the others got to their feet, activating their essence force to follow them into the forest. At the same time, the Buddha Emperor sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “The Yin Emperor insisted on sending people to search the island. Some people reported that they were in trouble.” 

“Go!”

Jiang Yi kept the Mystic Divine Palace and allowed Xiao Fei to hop onto his shoulder. Then, he followed the group and charged forward. As he ran, he whispered to Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing. “This island is extremely dangerous. Do you want to go into the Mystic Divine Palace first?”

“No!”

The two of them shouted back in unison. Jiang Yi sighed helplessly, “Follow me closely. We’ll see how the situation goes, and I’ll send you back into the palace if need be.”

Jiang Yi entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man as he sprinted. This island was no different from the ones outside. There were dense forests everywhere, and there were many stone peaks as well. It was extremely hard for them to travel through the island. While people could easily fly outside, they had no choice but to jump and run around in here.

Bang, bang, bang!

One hour later, they heard explosions not far away. It was obvious that a battle was going on. They sped up, and each drew their weapons. Lightning bolts lit up around Yi Chan’s body, and Yin Ruobing drew her God Shooter Bow. The two of them stuck closely to Jiang Yi.

They were getting closer and closer!

From afar, they could see about ten people. They were the Demigods of the various clans, but the way they were acting caused the group to feel shocked.

They were attacking a huge tree, which was filled with leaves. The ten of them were attacking the trunk of this huge tree, but… while the bark of the tree was peeling off, the trunk itself remained relatively unharmed.

“Sixth Elder.”

Yin Ruobing suddenly shouted after studying the tree. Jiang Yi realized something long ago. There was pure shock in his eyes. The things happening in this strange space were so mysterious. Even the trees had spirits.

There were two people on top of the branches of the tree. Their divine shields looked like they were broken, and each of their bodies seemed to be transforming. Their expressions were masks of pain.

One of them was from the Yin Clan, and the other was from the Ye Clan. The Yin Clan’s Sixth Elder saw the group and ran towards them, shouting, “Family Head, Lady Yin, be careful! This tree can absorb your essence force. Don’t let this tree touch you. If you do, your essence force will be all messed up…”

“This emperor wants you broken!”

The Yin Emperor shouted with all his strength. He struck at the tree with the battle sword in his hand. There was a bright reflection from his sword. Every inch of it lit up with gold light, making the sword look indestructible. It was obvious he was activating a gold-elemental dao pattern.

Boom!

Yet, when the Yin Emperor’s attack landed on the tree, it only caused the tree to vibrate slightly, leaving a dent as deep as a handprint in its trunk. What’s more, the mark was beginning to disappear at a rapid speed.

“What the hell is this?”

The group was stunned. It was only a huge tree. Outside, strong dao patterns aside, any use of essence force would have flattened even mountains. Yet, in here, even the Yin Clan’s strongest attack could not break a tree?
