Chapter 2336: Chapter 2337: Berzerk! Third Watch
Ye Qiu’s figure flickered, like a mass of black smoke, moving at an incredible speed, impossible to capture.
The next second, he was in front of an emperor’s son. Those cold eyes emitted a pitch-black glare, completely devoid of whites. Ye Qiu’s current state was somewhat different from his usual blackened state.
The killing intent in his heart enveloped the surroundings, transforming into many faces. Those faces were of people who had once died by Ye Qiu’s hand, now appearing like fierce ghosts, with ghastly fangs, constantly struggling, trying to break free from the quagmire-like black aura around Ye Qiu to gain freedom.
Whish.
Ye Qiu’s hand, like a wolf’s claw, fiercely grabbed the emperor’s son, tightly constricting his neck.
This emperor’s son, who was laughing earlier, preparing to use Ye Qiu’s head as a chamber pot, now had eyes full of terror. He never expected that facing Ye Qiu, he wouldn’t even be able to evade.
In front of Ye Qiu, he was a weakling, utterly unable to move.
It wasn’t because his strength was too weak, but because Ye Qiu’s strength was currently too powerful.
Ye Qiu, who had already stepped into the late stages of the heavenly realm, had his strength instantaneously boosted again with the augmentation of bloodline power after blackening, suddenly approaching a higher level.
Dao Sovereign!
Crossing into the realm of a Dao Sovereign using the power of blackening was not easy. At least, with Ye Qiu’s current bloodline power, reaching such a level was extremely difficult.
Yet, even not having crossed into the Dao Sovereign realm, he was close enough to its power.
This alone was enough to make him stand out among the mighty of the heavenly realm.
This was also the primary reason he far surpassed martial artists of the same level.
No words, only cold hands, and a ruthless gaze.
Regarding the emperor’s son in his hand, Ye Qiu’s actions were extremely simple, decisive, with no hesitation, directly pulling off the opponent’s head as the other emperors just started to react, trying to stop him.
It wasn’t over yet. Around Ye Qiu, those faces of the deceased dived into this head, because a soul still existed there. The physical body destroyed, the soul undying, as a mighty being of the heavenly realm still lived.
Ah.
The scream of the soul came from the bloodied head.
Subsequently, the onlookers witnessed an unforgettable scene.
They saw the soul of this emperor’s son trying to escape the head, but behind him, countless faces bit into his body, tearing at his soul, not letting him leave, continuously gnawing at his soul.
Having one’s soul devoured was by no means easier than having one’s flesh bitten off and swallowed. All of it was deeply piercing pain.
Ye Qiu held that head in his palm, savoring the agony of the emperor’s son as his soul was torn apart.
As his soul continually weakened, in the end, this emperor’s son was literally pained to death by his own soul. The last trace of soul power dissipated, returning to the cosmos.
Whish.
Having exterminated one did not deter Ye Qiu from his continued kill-without-mercy intent. His body still shrouded in thick killing intent, he seemed like a life form constructed from killing intent.
Only killing could bring him brief peace.
Ye Qiu, in this state, was no longer just blackened. He had gone mad, completely seized by killing intent, becoming a slaughter machine.
This had never happened before. Since his blackening, he could always suppress and control the killing intent in his heart, allowing himself to stay conscious.
But this time, Ye Qiu lost control, becoming a slaughter machine with only one thought in his mind: to kill incessantly.
It was unclear whether due to the innate conflict between the Du Gu clan and the Heavenly Palace, but even controlled by killing intent, Ye Qiu did not attack other people indiscriminately but focused solely on the remaining emperors’ sons.
Seeing Ye Qiu swiftly slaying an emperor’s son, others were greatly shocked, realizing the terror of Ye Qiu at this moment.
Especially this frenzied state, they had seen it before, but the frenzied descendants of the Du Gu clan they had witnessed were far from as terrifying as Ye Qiu.
Currently, Ye Qiu was like a god of death, filled with negativity all around.
Even if he didn’t target you, just sweeping a glance at you, that negativity would stir the emotions deep inside you, affecting you.
This was too terrifying, a blackened state they had never seen before.
Moreover, Ye Qiu’s strength had surpassed the pinnacle of the heavenly realm. Among them, no one was Ye Qiu’s match.
Once targeted, it was exceedingly easy to be eliminated.
The remaining seven emperors’ sons simultaneously knelt towards the main gate of the Heavenly Palace, muttering something akin to a secret chant, incomprehensible to outsiders.
Ye Qiu flickered back, and the emperors’ sons kneeling in the void, chanting towards the ancestral Heavenly Palace, did not rise, seemingly oblivious to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu, transformed into a slaughter machine, immediately attacked, targeting an emperor’s son directly with a move like the Black Tiger Seizes the Heart.
He intended to pull the heart out from the back.
However, as he clawed down, before pulling the heart out, there was a sound resembling a heartbeat, thumping.
Thump thump thump...
The crazed Ye Qiu suddenly halted, scanning towards the ancestral direction, from where a figure was approaching.
"Survivor, your ancestors have turned to dust, how can you defy the heavens."
This figure coming forth appeared very young, looking like in his twenties, yet his voice was very ancient. As he spoke, he glanced at the seven emperors’ sons, calmly saying, "You may rise. I will deal with this survivor."
"Yes, grandfather!"
The seven emperors’ sons called out in unison, then quietly stood behind him.
Grandfather...
This young man was actually the grandfather of the seven emperors’ sons?
The surrounding spectators were shocked, but some older martial artists were aghast, murmuring, "Heavenly Emperor... Heavenly Emperor..."
"Is he the former Heavenly Emperor?" Someone immediately realized, fearing this elder might be the former Heavenly Emperor.
Otherwise, why would the emperors’ sons call him grandfather.
"Heavenly Emperor? Haha... No one has called me that in a long time, is rather nostalgic, but... these are just empty titles, I have long ceased to be the Heavenly Emperor." To everyone’s surprise, he responded.
But Ye Qiu, controlled by killing intent, didn’t care who you were, whether you were a Heavenly Emperor or a God Emperor. His only thought was to kill.
Only killing could bring him pleasure.
Ye Qiu, like a cat, moved left and right, his figure shifting, attacking over ten thousand moves in an instant.
Whereas the former Heavenly Emperor chuckled lightly, "Over the years, my power has receded a lot, but dealing with a small figure like you is still at my fingertips, get down!"
Saying so, he struck out a hand, akin to the Buddha’s palm, directly landing on Ye Qiu.
Instantly, Ye Qiu’s body felt like it was struck by a heavy hammer, his entire being smashed into the stars.
