Chapter 1265: 1278 - Trouble Was Brewing

Chapter 1278 - Trouble Was Brewing 

The Divine Light Emperor sighed. 

Even a fool could tell by this point in time that the Sky Emperor was behind all these. 

The army of the Divine Light Court had only traversed the distance and launched an expedition against Cloudy Clear Sea, even though the Divine Light Emperor was already tired of battles, because he had wanted to find his way back by using the Yinqing Sea Eye. However, this was only a small part of why they were launching a battle against the Cloudy Clear Sea. With his current status and authority, he could have negotiated with the Cloudy Clear Sea tribe to use the Yinqing Sea Eye. The true reason behind this expedition was because the Cloudy Clear Sea tribe had killed the envoy carrying the mandate from the Divine Light Emperor, one to open negotiations regarding the use of the Yinqing Sea Eye and had only spared one soldier to return and report this news. The rest of the envoy's retinue had been ruthlessly killed by the Cloudy Clear Sea tribe. The Divine Light Emperor was so livid that he decided to personally lead the troops. 

The Divine Light Emperor immediately realized that this was all part of the Sky Emperor's plan. As for the members of the envoy mission, they were probably killed by the Sky Emperor and not by the Cloudy Clear Sea tribe. 

This had happened many times before. 

The Divine Light Emperor had been 'persuaded' and urged by the Sky Emperor on many occasions to complete expeditions against foreign races. 

This time though, the Sky Emperor was a lot more violent and ruthless as compared to the previous times and he seemed even more unscrupulous than ever. 

The Cloudy Clear Sea tribe would definitely not make up lies when they were about to die. 

"Why did you do that?" the Divine Light Emperor said as he looked at the Sky Emperor in surprise. The Sky Emperor was not at the stage nor powerful enough to escape the detection of his keen divine sense, yet, he had failed to gain any advance knowledge of this matter, so it was obvious that the Sky Emperor had employed some method to block out his divine sense. However, what had he used or what force was there in this world that had the ability to pull this off? 

All sorts of possibilities ran through the Divine Light Emperor's mind. 

"I'm helping you and at the same time, I'm also helping all of us," the Sky Emperor said nonchalantly as he looked at the Divine Light Emperor. 

The Divine Light Emperor shook his head and said, "I guess I've failed to discipline you for far too long. You have taken countless lives from the Cloudy Clear Sea tribe as well as your comrades from the silver warships of the Divine Light Court. You should reflect deeply on your actions this time." 

"Haha, hahaha!" the Sky Emperor chuckled as though he had just been told a joke. "Lives? Do you even know what it means to feel compassion toward these lives? When you conquered every part of this world, you left a river of blood and a mountain of corpses in your wake to get to where you are today. You have slaughtered and massacred so many others; why didn't you know how to treasure the lives of those you killed back then? Why didn't you feel any compassion toward the lives you had taken? Your hands are now completely stained with the blood of countless lifeforms, so how dare you try to act all high and mighty in front of me?" 

The other divine generals paled at his words. 

The Sky Emperor had always been bold in his words and actions, having gone against the Divine Light Emperor's wishes on many occasions, but he had always acted within certain limits. This time, his words were extremely harsh and he was obviously challenging the Divine Light Emperor's authority. Several others quickly spoke and tried to convince the Sky Emperor to calm down and apologize, trying to diffuse the tension. 

The Sky Emperor merely scoffed and said, "Was I wrong? Has he spared any thought toward his comrades who risked their lives time and time again to battle for him? He is clearly betraying us." 

The Sky Emperor refused to back down. 

"Suppress!" 

The Divine Light Emperor did not say much and as he raised his hand, a large light formation seal fell from the sky and crushed down toward the Sky Emperor. 

This formation seal was so powerful that the Sky Emperor could not resist it. 

However, a blurry figure appeared behind the Divine Light Emperor and raised his fist. Then, booming Dao sounds stopped the formation seal in its tracks and ultimately shredded it into pieces. 

"Who was it?" 

"What was that?" 

Everyone around them exclaimed in shock. 

Trouble was brewing close at hand. How was it possible that a blurry figure who had appeared from nowhere had managed to block his attack? 

A mysterious energy spread across the area with the Sky Emperor at its center. The blurry figure behind him gave off an ancient and far-reaching presence; his appearance was very hazy as he flickered like a phantom. However, he gave off a frightening chaotic aura that made him seem like a fiendgod that had appeared from nowhere. His aura was surprisingly comparable to the Divine Light Emperor's. 

The soldiers and divine generals on the warship immediately spread apart and surrounded the Divine Light Emperor. 

"I see you're acting under someone else's orders; no wonder you're so confident," the Divine Light Emperor said. He didn't seem surprised by this revelation and divine light circulated in his eyes, then shot out like two divine swords that pierced through the void and stabbed at that person. "Who are you? Which time period do you belong to? Are you not afraid of being attacked by the power of laws since you've defied them to come here?" he asked. 

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Metallic sword light suddenly flashed in the void. 

The piercing light beams from the Divine Light Emperor's eyes stabbed at the blurry figure's surroundings; there was a piercing sound that was akin to real metallic weapons clashing against each other. 

"Hahahaha... I guess you've already discovered our presence," the blurry figure said. His voice sounded far away and indistinct, as though he was not of this world. "Unfortunately, it is too late. The Cloudy Clear Sea will be your final resting place." 

"All of you are just monsters and demons from another timeline, so how could you hope to meddle in the events of this era?" the Divine Light Emperor said calmly. "If you've overstretched yourselves, then you must be prepared for your arms to be hacked off." 

"Unfortunately, your sword is not sharp enough, so you wouldn't be able to do that," the blurry figure retorted. His aura drifted in and out in a very strange manner.

The soldiers from the Divine Light Court could all see this blurry figure with their own eyes, but they were unable to sense his presence. 

Gradual changes were taking place in the Sky Emperor's body as this blurry figure shrouded him. He started to exude an aura that was starkly different from the martial way that he had been cultivating. His light dimmed and turned black while his dazzling light armor was gradually enveloped by the corrosive dark aura. His silver body darkened and a splendor that resembled a sea of blood circulated in his eyes. He opened his mouth and inhaled deeply; he sucked in the dark aura from the blurry figure behind him bit by bit. 

"It's not too late to turn back now," the Divine Light Emperor said as he looked at the Sky Emperor. 

He was someone who treasured the relationships he had formed, so even under such circumstances, he wasn't willing to give up on the Sky Emperor; to watch this talented man who was both a subordinate and a friend descend into the dark side. 

The Sky Emperor's blood-red eyes were filled with a madly hot aura as he said, "I will use my actions to prove that your ideals are wrong." 

The Divine Light Emperor sighed and said, "Very well. I guess I'll have to capture you first before you can slowly reflect upon your actions... [Sword of Divine Light]! Slash!" He raised his hand and a layer of bright light formation ripples appeared in his hand before they quickly spread outward like a turntable, drawing upon millions of mysteries and secrets before a dazzling silver longsword gradually formed from these ripples, as though it had gathered all the brightest energy in the world to it. 

He shook his palm and the [Sword of Divine Light] stopped for the slightest moment before it turned into a flowing light and shot out. 

Swish!

Clink!

The sword howled across the sky and soon, a metallic clash sounded. 

A grey light shield appeared in front of the Sky Emperor and death qi swirled within it. It was a thin shield but it managed to block the terrifying attack of the [Divine Light Sword]. 

"Haha, as I said earlier, your sword is not sharp enough. It can't... ah!" the blurry figure said mockingly but an unexpected change occurred before he could finish his sentence. 

The [Sword of Divine Light] that had been blocked earlier suddenly vibrated; millions of light glimmers appeared from the tip of the sword that had drawn on millions of mysteries. Then, the grey light shield shattered as though a divine will had cut through it and the sword blade quickly slashed out, quick as lightning. The grey figure was caught off guard and was slashed thousands of times by the blade. By the time the blurry figure wanted to counterattack, his figure had already been slashed into thousands of shards. Then, he let out an angry and surprised cry before he faded away. 

The [Sword of Divine Light] transformed into millions of light formation seals that danced across the sky like butterflies or swallows, before landing on the Sky Emperor's body, covering every part of his blackened body. 

There was a huge flash of light as the power of the seal took effect. 

"Come back with me and get rid of these demonic thoughts under the Destruction Cliff of the Divine Court," the Divine Light Emperor stretched out his hand and his light energy transformed into a palm in the void, which then stretched out to grab at the Sky Emperor. 

"Cackle cackle... cackle cackle cackle..." the Sky Emperor did not try to dodge, nor showed any signs of attacking as he stood calmly on the spot and laughed strangely. His chuckles sounded as piercing as the howls of ghosts and night owls and his blood-red eyes glinted with a mocking and icy mirth as he stared at the Divine Light Emperor. 

A frightening energy pulsed out from his body once again, just before the palm of light caught him. 

The blurry figure reappeared. 

No, he didn't just reappear. 

This time, he was accompanied by six or seven figures who showed up all of a sudden behind the Sky Emperor. 

Boom!

The palm of light was destroyed. 

"Do you understand what I mean now?" the Sky Emperor said with a cold laugh. "Just like yourself, I would never do something unless I was absolutely sure of success." 

A terrifying energy started to move across the universe. 

Waves of destructive energy burst forth from the seven blurry figures who had just appeared. At first, this energy encompassed an area of several hundred kilometers before it expanded to several thousand kilometers, turning the laws of space and tides of strength into a chaotic mess. As this destructive energy spread, countless lucky survivors of the Cloudy Clear Sea tribe turned into dust, the ocean evaporated into steam, and the large warship started to plummet... It looked like the end of the world had come; even the powerful soldiers from the Divine Light Court found it hard to breathe. 

"How... how could you use yourself as a conduit to open the gates of a different time to allow these fiendgods to enter? Do you even know what the consequences of your actions are?" the Divine Light Emperor asked as shock and anger finally appeared on his face. 

He was the only person who was powerful enough to vaguely detect the presence of these sovereign fiendgods from another timeline, and the only person who could sense how dangerous they were. This was the main reason why he had decided to put a halt to this expedition. He hadn't expected the Sky Emperor to do such a thing. He had thought that the Sky Emperor had only chosen to do such a thing because he desired more power, yearned to live for eternity, and longed for more authority. But now he could see that his assumption was wrong. The Sky Emperor's ambition and ultimate goals were a lot larger than he had initially expected. 

"Of course I do," the Sky Emperor said with a laugh. "Since you're so reluctant to lead us on my quest and transcend to eternity, then I'll do it myself. I want you to know that I can do without you to achieve my missions and that not all goals have to be accomplished under your leadership." 

"[Wings of Light]!" 

The Divine Light Emperor shot into the sky and a pair of large swords of light turned into wings, instantly appearing on his back. 

The color of the sky changed as he fanned his wings. 

He started to unleash his true power. 

"Since all of you have dared to show yourselves, I'll crush you here, right in this very era," he said and his voice echoed majestically like a king issuing an edict. 

Ye Qingyu stood on the warship that was starting to plummet and watched all of this unfold.
