Chapter 720: Profound Yellow Mother Qi Transforms Into The Earth Sovereign

The huge dark yellow cauldron in the sky shook a little as if it could hear Ye Qing’s mental challenge. A profound, indescribable sound reverberated throughout the area like an endless field of spring.

To others, the sound was the sound of the Great Way: profound, enlightening, and impossible to ignore. But to Ye Qing, it was like a million thunderclaps erupting inside his headspace at the same time. It threatened to rip the earth apart and tear a hole in the sky.

Ye Qing looked inward. Sitting high above the nine heavens, his Heavenly Demon Yin God slowly rose to its feet and grew infinitely tall and wide. It wasn’t long before its feet were planted on the ground, and its head towering over the heavens.

His crumbling headspace immediately stopped deteriorating and started mending itself. No world shall crumble while Man becomes the pillar that supports both heaven and earth!

While his headspace was still recovering from the assault, the dark yellow cauldron began rotating and emanating waves of dark yellow qi. They were thick and heavy like nothing Ye Qing had ever felt. From his perspective, it felt like the world above the heavens had tipped over, and infinite stretches of mountains and rivers were falling right on top of him.

“Hmph!”

A muffled groan escaped his lips as the earth beneath his feet split into giant cracks. It truly felt like the weight of an entire world was sitting on top of his shoulders.

Every time the dark yellow light descended an inch, the world would darken a tad, and the burden on his shoulders would double in weight.

Strange sounds were reverberating throughout the area. It was a mixture of Ye Qing’s muscles and bones straining under the weight they were bearing and the sound of crumbling earth.

The young man did not collapse, however. No matter how heavy his burden grew, his neck remained straight, his waist remained strong, his legs did not bend, and his heart did not succumb to fear. He stood like a spear or a sword—straight and unbending.

The dark yellow light was stretching from one end of the horizon to another by the time it was merely one meter away from Ye Qing’s head. Not only that, mountains and rivers were manifesting into existence here and there.

The dark yellow light was transforming into a literal world to suppress one man.

If the profound sound of the Great Way from before was an attack against Ye Qing’s mind, then the dark yellow light and the world it was transforming into was an attack against his body.

Ye Qing opened his mouth and sucked in a small breath. His muscles and bones popped, and his energies soared high.

The mountain wind flowed into one’s abdomen like rumbling thunder.

The muscles and bones popped and cracked like a tiger’s roar.

And the vigor rolled in like a raging river.

The one whose qi, essence and spirit were united as one could not be stopped.

And the one whose heart held no fear would dare to challenge the heavens themselves.

Ye Qing looked up and punched upward. Like a raging tide defying gravity to touch the skies, his raging fist force and vast fist intent exploded like a volcano.

The roar. The roar was unending. The vast world that threatened to crush Ye Qing shook like a leaf as cracks spread out from the center and toward everything. At the same time, the mountains and rivers began crumbling bit by bit.

Zhang Lingyang tilted his head to one side and sighed. “It’s okay though. He who keeps company with the good becomes good. Now that you’re in my company, I promise you that your Dao heart will surpass your temple master in a couple of years at most.”

“Speaking of which, when it is finally time for you to succeed the old bastard, do remember to repay your old buddy’s kindness, okay? Though, I would become the Heavenly Master of my Heavenly Master Mansion by then, so I wouldn’t need your favor anymore.”

“Thanks, but no thanks. I’m pretty sure that the only thing I’ll pick up from you is the loss of my integrity and shame.” Yun Qingxiao sighed again while palming his forehead. It truly was a miracle that this guy managed to survive this long without being beaten to death by the old Heavenly Master.

“Say, do you know who that guy is, Young Yun? I thought it was Beiqiu at the beginning, but clearly I was wrong.”

“Unfortunately, I have no idea.” Yun Qingxiao shook his head.

“I guess I asked a stupid question. If even I, a man of vast experience and knowledge, have never heard of the guy, then how could you?”

Zhang Lingyang scratched his head in puzzlement. “And for whatever reason, that guy isn’t on the Human Champions Ranking either. What the hell is White Jade Capital doing? How can someone like him not appear on the Human Champions Ranking?”

“It might just be my imagination, but I’m pretty sure the guy’s body is on par with the bald donkey’s Mahāvairocana Body or Beiqiu’s Heavenly Demon Tribulation Body of Primordial Beginning.”

“I am weaker than him.”

Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted their conversation. A woman covered in black from head to toe emerged from the distance.

“Beiqiu! I knew you would come! Here, I purposely reserved this seat for you. I even warmed it so you wouldn’t catch a cold.”

Zhang Lingyang’s eyes lit up like a pair of light bulbs. He immediately leaped to his feet and ran toward Mo Beiqiu.

“Get out of my sight.”

Mo Beiqiu uttered icily.

“Flirting with me already, Beiqiu? Do you miss me that much? We are in the presence of others though. Let’s reserve the banter for a more private setting, alright?” Zhang Lingyang beamed at her.

Yun Qingxiao frowned deeply. He did not understand why Zhang Lingyang was happy at the abuse. Was he a masochist or worse?

As if he could hear Yun Qingxiao’s inner thoughts, Zhang Lingyang shot him a disdainful look. “And that’s why you’re single, and I’m not. Don’t you know that harsh words are a sign of affection?”

Yun Qingxiao’s eyes widened a little. By the Heavenly Sovereign, I’ve never seen such a shameless man in my life.
