"Is that Death Qi?"
Qin Yu’s expression changed.
Death Qi, isn’t that something only ghosts possess?
This Taosha, could it also be one of the ancient ghosts?
"What Death Qi, it’s just somewhat similar."
Yaoyao snorted and said, "As I said, it’s Taosha, it has..."
"Slap!"
Qin Yu was very displeased.
Dare to mock him?
Yaoyao’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Why, why hit her?!
If you’re capable, go hit Taosha, go hit the Empress!
However, seeing Qin Yu’s solemn expression, Yaoyao held back.
This guy...
I wonder if one day if I encounter danger, would he worry like this too?
Bah!
Does he need to worry about me?
Ridiculous!
"Is there any other way?"
Qin Yu naturally held Yaoyao, asking.
He could see that the Empress had murderous intent, but Taosha’s ability was too weird, even when injured, it could instantly recover completely.
To continue at this rate, it’s impossible to eliminate it.
"There is, just invite that person from the Great Yan Imperial Capital, wouldn’t that solve it?"
Yaoyao snapped away Qin Yu’s hand from her waist.
Humph!
Mentioning the Empress Dowager, she got a bit angry.
Why say such things about her?
She’s really not that kind of fox.
"The Empress Dowager?"
Qin Yu was stunned, asking.
"She carries Auspicious Qi, bringing blessings to all things, with noble bloodline. Even ancient fierce beasts would bow and retreat in her presence, not daring to offend her. A mere Taosha, with ancient fierce beast bloodline within, is nothing to worry about for her."
Yaoyao spoke with a little indifference, as if talking about something trivial.
This guy, does he even know how noble the bloodline of Auspicious Qi is?!
Ordinarily, to be so close with someone of Auspicious Qi, is truly unbelievable for a fox.
"This... seems a bit inappropriate."
Qin Yu couldn’t reconcile the pure, innocent like a blank sheet Empress Dowager, with the ferocious, overwhelming power of the Taosha in the light screen.
However.
The Empress Dowager’s status of auspiciousness, he had heard of, but, despite having the Great Phoenix, she hasn’t fully overcome her juvenile stage yet?!
That might also explain why she has done so many incredible things.
Yet, the same juvenile clown chicken, sleeping soundly every day, is the Empress Dowager really that strong?
Thinking of the Empress Dowager looking aggrieved after being easily subdued by the Empress, Qin Yu found it unrealistic.
"Then you just continue to watch as Emperor Yan is dragged along."
Yaoyao glanced at the screen, "Don’t blame me for not warning you; there’s another Half-Venerable Ruins Beast lurking in the dark."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu trembled, his body tensed up.
Then, he scanned the scene but couldn’t spot any trace of the Half-Venerable Ruins Beast Yaoyao mentioned, yet he noticed that the Empress’s attacks were sharp but deliberately restrained.
It’s very likely, as Yaoyao said, she’s holding back power to guard against the Ruins Beast lurking in the dark.
"Your Majesty, should I send a message to the Empress Dowager, requesting her assistance?"
Qin Yu took a deep breath, his voice carrying through the light screen.
The Empress, with a wave of her hand, shattered the black light spewed from Taosha’s mouth, her figure pausing slightly.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu did not hesitate, immediately taking out the Sound Transmission Stone to relay the message to the Empress Dowager.
"What? His Majesty is trapped in the Ruins Rift?"
"Damn it, who dares to bully my emperor?"
"Qin Yu, protect yourself; I’m coming over right away!"
In the Sound Transmission Stone, the Empress Dowager’s anxious voice had a hint of undisguised delight.
Qin Yu hadn’t even finished speaking, and the Empress Dowager had already hung up, as if afraid the Empress would change her mind.
This...
Qin Yu was somewhat between laughter and tears.
Such a ferocious Ruins Beast, does the Empress Dowager really have a way to deal with it?
The only relief was that the Empress Dowager didn’t ask anything like ’Has His Majesty bullied you’ this time.
If Tu Yaoyao heard it, who knows what kind of misunderstanding might arise, and then, if the Empress’s dignity is compromised, Auspicious Qi would certainly face punishment.
"Sister, what kind of world is the Ruins exactly?"
Gazing at the gray-white world within the light screen, Qin Yu couldn’t help but ask softly.
Perhaps the Qingqiu Race has a different understanding of the Ruins.
"Can’t you tell? It’s another world entirely."
Tu Yaoyao was puzzled, looking at him with a very worried gaze.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu’s mouth twitched slightly, momentarily speechless.
Of course, he could see that point, even the heavens and earth are gray and white, does that need to be said?
The problem is, how exactly was this world formed? Why are there so many common spatial barriers with the world they’re in, and why are some spatial barriers so fragile?
"Accurately speaking, the Ruins is a broken world, and it could be a world shattered by the ancestors of the Human Race and Ten Thousand Races during an ancient battle."
Tu Yaoyao continued speaking.
Qin Yu nodded slightly, this matched the records of the Great Yan Royal Family.
"So, the Ruins Rift doesn’t connect to a complete world?"
Qin Yu asked curiously.
After entering from the Ruins Rift, he had observed this world, but with his Spiritual Power, he couldn’t explore the end of this world at all.
"Of course, this place is merely a larger space fragment."
Tu Yaoyao’s eyes gleamed with wisdom as she said with disdain, "Otherwise, do you think only three Half-Venerable Realm Ruins Beasts exist here?"
"Do you have a way to close the Ruins Rift?"
Qin Yu held onto a strand of hope and asked.
If the Ruins Rift here could be closed, the Empress wouldn’t have to worry about this matter.
"You are underestimating the Black Soul Hall too much, after plotting for so long, they wouldn’t let you resolve it so easily."
Tu Yaoyao shook her head and said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu’s expression darkened.
These shadowy figures are truly detestable!
In this anxious wait, more than a day passed in the outside world.
"Your Majesty!"
Suddenly, an ethereal voice sounded.
The fierce flame of Taosha, which was like an overwhelming tide earlier, abruptly paused, as if its aura was tightly bound by an invisible force. The vicious Evil Qi that had been freely spreading under the gray-white sky was forced back into its gigantic body.
Qin Yu didn’t run out recklessly, but observed outside through the light screen.
Amidst this gray and chaotic world, a lively and stunning figure rushed from afar, cloaked in pure moonlight. Every step seemed to spawn glittering light; in this monotonous world, she was like a brilliant star, illuminating everything around.
The Empress Dowager finally arrived!
With her arrival, Taosha’s gigantic body, spanning a hundred yards, began to tremble involuntarily, as the fierce and unsettling Evil Qi within it felt an immense pressure, retreating back inside, not daring to escape.
"Roar—!"
Taosha’s eyes seemed to be ignited by flames, fixated on the rushing beautiful silhouette. With pupils constricting, the moonlight surrounding the Empress Dowager rippled like a stream, reflecting in its profound eyes, causing a deep and suppressed whimper in its throat.
Even through the light screen, Qin Yu could clearly feel the intense hatred and loathing emanating from Taosha.
This Taosha, even when facing the Empress, showed a ferocious and menacing demeanor, yet now, upon seeing the Empress Dowager, it was so dreadfully intimidated and fearful?
Could this be what Tu Yaoyao referred to as bloodline suppression?
After confirming the Empress was unharmed, the Empress Dowager’s tense expression finally eased. Her gaze swept around, but she didn’t see Qin Yu, though she could guess that this fellow must have returned to that space to avoid causing trouble to the Empress.
"You detestable thing, are you bullying His Majesty?"
The Empress Dowager furrowed her Dai Mei lightly, her gaze shimmering like moonlight, exuding an inviolable holiness, as if she could purify the filth before her with a gentle wave of her hand.
"Never underestimate it, its strength is extraordinary!"
The Empress reminded timely with a clear shout.
Although the bloodline of Auspicious Qi is supremely noble, far outweighing the likes of Taosha, she nevertheless is yet to fully mature, her power not at its peak.
In contrast, this Taosha, even the Empress wielding the Golden Thunder Origin is not confident of subduing it.
"With me here, Your Majesty needn’t worry."
The Empress Dowager’s eyes were like two round, bright moons. With a gentle breath, it was as if a glowing light flowed throughout her, surrounded by a faint moonlight power, donned in a coat of shimmering silver scale armor. Each scale was crystal clear, like the purest water crystal, emitting a soft yet unimpeachably holy glow.
His Majesty bullying Qin Yu was nothing. In Auspicious Qi’s heart, these two are both her own, merely fighting within the nest, causing little harm.
However, the hideous, repulsive creature before them dares to bully the Empress; that’s a different story!
Moreover, as an Auspicious creature, she harbors a deep-seated aversion to the malignancy on Taosha.
Taosha crouched its body, eyes blood red like boiling blood in Purgatory, emitting a chilling ferocity as if from Nine Netherworld, intangible to look at. Its massive form was surrounded by unsettling malice, slightly opened mouth showing sharp, frosty fangs gleaming coldly, as if capable of tearing through everything.
The small figure before its eyes stirred an unknown warning deep within, a fear and awe rooted in ancient bloodline, embedding itself into its heart.
"Roar—!"
With a violent roar, Taosha struck first, a devouring force unlike any before erupted from within, voracious and powerful like a black hole, freezing the surrounding air, halting the Spiritual Power fluctuation, even light was consumed mercilessly upon touching that invisible force.
This scene resembled the advent of apocalypse, the entire space trembling in the face of that boundless devouring force, as if heaven and earth were about to be swallowed whole by the fearsome beast, vanishing into endless void.
