Chapter 836

After listening to Zhou Weiqing's words, Hui Yao and Duo Si's eyes gradually turned red. Fierce and murderous intent oozed out from their bodies. At Zhou Weiqing's inquiry, they finally told the story that took place after they went their separate ways.

It turned out that after Hui Yao and his wife went their separate ways from Zhou Weiqing, they proceeded to look for their children. Relying on the connections of their bloodline, they finally found the Blood Red Hell. Just in time, they saw their children being used as the blood sacrifice for the Nether Lord that was presided by Fen Tian.

Naturally, Hui Yao and his wife went crazy upon seeing this. However, the Nether Lord's Destruction Energy materialized once again at that moment. Under Fen Tian's control, it managed to inflict great harm on the two of them. With the help of the power from their children's blood sacrifice, they took the opportunity while Hui Yao and his wife were in a confused state of mind as they went berserk and enslaved them using the Destruction Energy. It was not until this moment that they finally regained their consciousness.

Duo Si went to stand beside Hui Yao. The two dragons snuggled with each other with their necks touching as Duo Si burst into tears. After all, anybody would be sad losing their children.

At this moment, a peculiar wave of energy suddenly caused the entire realm to quake. It caused everyone to stay vigilant on their feet.

Not only did the air quiver, the ground below quaked as well. A wave of Destruction Aura blasted out from the middle of the abyss. Even though it was not particularly strong, the sense of Destruction aura in it was more than enough to elicit horrors on their faces. The sky that had just lit up seemed to have dimmed down a little as well.

The Elven Empress quickly urged, "Weiqing, hurry! Absorb Fen Tian's Heavenly Nucleus Core! We must really go now! It must be the Nether Lord smashing the seal. It seems like the seal can no longer hold him off!"

Zhou Weiqing did not dare to waste any time. As he activated his Astral Divine Territory, Fen Tian's Heavenly Nucleus Core transformed into a stream of light and flowed into the Astral Divine Territory. Thousands and thousands of stars instantly shined brightly at the same time as it gave feedback to his body and increased his cultivation base sharply.

The Elven Empress did not stay idle either. She crossed her legs in midair and restored her Life Energy that was used up previously. In a sense, sealing the Nether Lord would be their true final battle.

As Zhou Weiqing bathed in the pure starlight, circles of halos started to form around his Saint God Nucleus Core. Even his skin began to show signs of ripples as the Saint Energy continued to refine and purify in the midst of the elevation of his cultivation base. However, just like what the Elven Empress had said, he noticed that even if he cast the Star Feedback on a powerful Destruction Heavenly Nucleus Core like Fen Tian's, it would still be impossible for him to touch the threshold of the level that Fen Tian used to have half his foot in previously.

As it turned out, having Saint Energy prevented one from entering the Heavenly Change Tier. Rather contradictorily, the creation characteristics in Saint Energy would confine and limit one's future.

If the Heavenly Change Tier would allow one to become God, then he would never become a god.

It did not matter much to Zhou Weiqing if he became a god or not. However, if he could not break through this barrier, how could he face the Nether Lord if he managed to break open the seal? How could he protect his family, friends, or the entire world if he could not kill him?

Even though Zhou Weiqing was not particularly enthusiastic about power, he had always been a person with a strong desire to control. This was a situation that he liked the least where it was completely out of his control, and he had to rely on luck instead. However, at this moment, he had done everything that he could have done. He worked hard to improve his cultivation base, and every time he improved slightly, luck would naturally be a step closer to him

The Astral Divine Territory did not expand outwards with the elevation of his cultivation base. Instead, it engulfed Zhou Weiqing entirely and made it seem like multiple stars that could emit Saint Energy was embedded in his Ringless Ground Purging Set. The Saint Energy that became increasingly pure effectively suppressed the Destruction Energy that was rising from beneath the abyss.

Little by little, the starlight converged. The Astral Feedback's energy had completely integrated with Zhou Weiqing's body. Fen Tian's Destruction Heavenly Nucleus Core was indeed powerful. As the saying went, when things were at their worst, they began to mend. The Nebula Saint Energy that was obtained from the Feedback did not deplete as much compared to the Star Feedback of other ordinary Heavenly Jewel Master's Heavenly Nucleus Core. Zhou Weiqing's cultivation base was greatly raised all the way up to the Maximum Level of the Heavenly God Tier from the Middle Level, and there was even some Saint Energy left. However, this leftover Saint Energy could only ultimately make his Saint Energy more abundant, it could not help him with another breakthrough.

The Star Feedback's light dimmed down but the starlight on Zhou Weiqing's Ringless Ground Purging Set did not disappear accordingly. Instead, it became even clearer. Stars shone brilliantly on the white armor as if the luster that was full of Saint Energy would easily spill out from any parts of his body with just a simple thought from him.

Zhou Weiqing looked at the Elven Empress. She was still sitting cross-legged in the void as circles of life halos spread out and converged ceaselessly.

"Weiqing, I'll go with you," Dongfang Hanyue's chilly voice sounded in the air. She rode the Blackfiend dragon, and in no time at all, she had arrived in front of Zhou Weiqing.

"We'll go as well!" The three Shangguan sisters and the Little Witch quickly rushed over, too!

Tears began to well in Zhou Weiqing's eyes when he saw the eagerness and determination in the girls' eyes.

"Silly, what are you guys going there for? It's not like you have the Saint Energy. If we really could deal with this problem through the mere accumulations of all our cultivation bases, then the Nether Lord would not have been able to live this long. Don't worry, we'll be fine! We're just going there to reinforce the seal. We'll definitely come back in no time at all."

Shangguan Bing'er was a little beside herself, "So… what if the Nether Lord breaks the seal?"

Zhou Weiqing froze for a moment before he waved his hand at Bing'er, "Bing'er, come here!"

At this moment, jealousy was the last thing on the girls' minds. In a flash, Shangguan Bing'er appeared in front of Zhou Weiqing. He spread his arms wide open and pulled her into his arms.

"Bing'er, I'm sorry that I've let you down. You're the one who introduced me to the world of Heavenly Jewel Masters. I remember when we first met, I actually ravished your body due to the awakening of my Heavenly Jewels. Instead of blaming me, you helped and took care of me as you used your gentleness to guide me on the path of becoming a Heavenly Jewel Master. In my life, it's the happiest thing for me, Zhou Weiqing, to have you as my wife. However, I'm sorry for letting you down. My infidelity must have hurt you a lot. Still, I have to tell you that my love for you has never once lessened. Bing'er, I love you!"

As he was saying that, he lowered his head and planted a deep kiss on Shangguan Bing'er's fragrant lips.

Bing'er was taken aback for a moment. However, within seconds, she quickly responded to his kiss passionately. Her arms were trembling slightly as she put her arms around Zhou Weiqing's neck and hugged him tightly.

Their lips parted and Zhou Weiqing pulled away both of Shangguan Bing'er's arms before he gently pulled her to a side. A dazed look could be seen in her beautiful eyes as she continued to levitate quietly in the sky.

With a flash, he appeared in front of Shangguan Fei'er and proceeded to pull her into his arms, too.

"Fei'er, even though you look exactly like Bing'er, your personalities are totally different. With your vivacious and vibrant personality, there's no man that could ever be a match for your perseverance. During the most difficult time in my life, you've always been by my side. Thank you. I love Bing'er but I love you, too! There's no way for me to survive without you. Indeed, I'm a selfish man but there's no way for me to not be selfish!"

"Don't say such wor…" Shangguan Fei'er was beside herself. However, just as she was about to say something, she was forcefully stopped by Zhou Weiqing's lips. In the next moment, she melted in his arms as well.

When Zhou Weiqing finally let go of her lips, no words came out from her mouth either. She floated in the air in a daze.

"Xue'er," Zhou Weiqing pulled Shangguan Xue'er who was standing next to Shangguan Fei'er, "Xue'er, I know that you've always thought that you're not as precious as Bing'er and Fei'er in my heart but you've never been so wrong. I love you, and it's not because it's out of convenience. I love your coldness and that unsullied nobleness. All the things that you've done for me secretly are forever engraved in my heart."

Shangguan Xue'er took the initiative and offered her lips to him. She kissed him and left him with no chance to continue his speech.

"Yuehan," Zhou Weiqing waved towards Little Witch as he let go of Shangguan Xue'er.

Wu Yuehan's beautiful eyes were completely red as her tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks, "I hate that you're doing this! Are you trying to give us your last words?" Although she was saying this, she still came forward to face Zhou Weiqing.

Zhou Weiqing shook his head, "No, I just want to hug all of you and feel the heat of your bodies!" Holding her cheeks that were soaked with tears, he kissed her tenderly.

It did not matter if it were the three Shangguan sisters or Wu Yuehan, they were all currently hovering motionlessly in the air after they were kissed by Zhou Weiqing. A dazed look could be seen in their beautiful eyes.

"Hanyue," Zhou Weiqing looked at Dongfang Hanyue. She was staring at him, too.

"You don't have to do this. I won't follow you there. Don't forget, I still have our son other than you," Dongfang Hanyue replied Zhou Weiqing as she paled noticeably. Her right hand that was holding the Blackfiend Devastation Dragon Slaying Spear was completely pale as well.

Zhou Weiqing let out a smile, "Alright, that's great. However, I still want to kiss you, can I?

Her figure turned into a flash as she collided into his arms forcefully, "Don't die! Promise me that you'll come back alive! As long as you come back in one piece, I'll give you my word that I'll give up my position as the Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace and bring your son here to meet you!" As she said that, she kissed Zhou Weiqing hard on the lips and even bit down on his lips 1 .

Dongfang Hanyue was still a Saint Lord after all. When Zhou Weiqing kissed Shangguan Xue'er, she already had a sneaking suspicion. The few girls who had been kissed by Zhou Weiqing had clearly lost their sensibility. She understood that Zhou Weiqing merely did not want them to follow him to such danger.

After Dongfang Hanyue kissed him, she hugged him tightly and refused to let him go.

Zhou Weiqing sighed, "Perhaps this is my punishment from God. It would be my greatest fortune to have either one of you, no matter which one, to be my wife but I'm just too greedy. Still, I really don't have the heart to leave any of you behind. This time, if I can come back safely, all the time in my remaining life will belong to all of you. I'll use my remaining time to repay all of your love towards me. Hanyue, when I come back, I'll go to the Mysterious Heavenly Palace with you to formally bring you and our son back. Nobody will be able to stop me! Even if I have to pull and connect the entire Mysterious Heavenly Mainland to the Boundless Mainland, I won't allow the two of you to be separated from me!"

1. Ouch ._.

Chapter 837

Dongfang Hanyue turned her body away and once again, returned to ride on the Blackfiend Dragon's head. Her back was facing Zhou Weiqing, and she refused to look at him again as she held on to the dragon's horn.

Last but not least, Zhou Weiqing's sight finally landed on Tian'er who was staring at him but did not come near him.

"My dear…"

Tian'er stared at Zhou Weiqing nonchalantly, "I know you better than they do so you don't have to persuade me anymore. You don't have any reason to talk me out of it either. I have the Saint Energy, too! You're allowed to sacrifice for the mainland so why am I not allowed to?"

"B-But, our child is in your tummy!" Zhou Weiqing let out a bitter smile.

Tian'er continued on indifferently, "But I don't want my child to lose his father before he's even born. If that's the case, I'd rather die together with our family of three. Don't say anything else. If you try to stop me from going by force or make me unconscious, I'll kill myself the moment I wake up, regardless of whether you're able to come back alive! I'm sure you know my temper very well!"

"You…" Stumped, Zhou Weiqing stared at Tian'er. He was at a loss for words. Indeed, among all the other girls, Tian'er was the one who understood Zhou Weiqing the most. The time the two of them spent together cultivating was the longest, and they had created the Saint Energy together. Their minds were also very much in sync. As she watched how Zhou Weiqing dealt with the few other girls, Tian'er naturally had her own countermeasure.

Zhou Weiqing looked at Xue Ao'tian with a slightly helpless look as he tried to ask his father-in-law to help him with this matter. However, Xue Ao'tian merely shook his head at him gently, "Although Tian'er is my daughter, I'm actually on her side regarding this matter. If it's not for the fact that we don't have any Saint Energy that can help you, I'd definitely go with you together as well. Weiqing, stop thinking too much. You have to understand that if you don't succeed this time, it's very likely that our world will disappear. At best, we'll probably just live slightly longer than you. With Tian'er's help, the chances of you succeeding will be much greater. Bring her along with you. We'll wait for your good news right here. No matter how difficult the situation that you face, you must have faith in yourself. We'll be waiting for your triumphant return!"

Zhou Weiqing nodded his head silently before he solemnly swore to Xue Ao'tian, "Even if I die, I'll die in front of Tian'er! I'll use my life to protect her!"

Relief could be seen in Xue Ao'tian's eyes, "I believe in you!"

At this moment, the Elven Empress gradually opened her eyes as well. The twelve Elven Elders were waiting beside her with a worried look.

All of them also knew that once the Elven Empress left, she might not be able to make it back alive. No matter what, the Elven Empress was still the most powerful ruler in the Elf Tribe for the past ten thousand years. She had brought them great hope. Additionally, all the lives of the Elven Empresses were connected to the Ancient Tree of Life. If an Elven Empress died, the Ancient Tree of Life would wilt as well. It would then need a new Elven Empress to connect her bloodline with it before it could be revived once again. However, if that was the case, the Ancient Tree of Life that had evolved would disappear, and the new tree would return to its original form. This was not a good news for the Elf Tribe at all.

The Elven Empress let out a faint sigh as she looked at the Elders, "You've heard the Mountain Lord of Heavenly Snow Mountain, too. As the saying goes, how can the eggs remain unbroken when the nest is ruined? If we can't stop the Nether Lord, we'll no longer be able to survive. If we fail this time, then there's nothing else that can be said and done. However, if I die after we succeed, please follow Weiqing and my agreement. Please take our people to the Heavenly Bow Empire and allow them to thrive there. The Peerless Sect will take care of our Elf Tribe. At that time, please let my daughter inherit my throne."

"Your majesty!" All of the twelve Elven Elders fell to their knees in the air. Grief was apparent in their voices.

The Elven Empress let out a faint smile, "Every life will come to an end. Moreover, it's not guaranteed that I'll die. Weiqing will be the true combat force in this battle, and I'm just merely assisting from the side. As long as we can suppress the Nether Lord and strengthen the seal, our mission will be completed. Alright, it's time for us to go now. Otherwise, everything will be too late once the seal is broken."

Turquoise light retracted at once as it dyed the six wings behind the Elven Empress into the same color as well. In just a flash, she re-emerged by Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er's side.

Two loud dragon roars resonated in the air. The roar was filled with complete hatred. Hui Yao and his wife, Duo Si, flew in front of Zhou Weiqing and the other two before he said in his deep voice, "I'll carry you there. Let us work together. No matter what, we can't let the Nether Lord have his way!"

When Zhou Weiqing saw Hui Yao's blood-stained eyes, he sighed secretly in his heart. However, he could not bring himself to say any comforting words to him at all. After all, the scar that was etched in this couple's heart was just too deep.

"Let's go," Zhou Weiqing replied in a deep voice.

As he was speaking, he took hold of Tian'er's hand and landed on Hui Yao's head swiftly. The Elven Empress, on the other hand, landed on top of Duo Si's head all by herself. With another growl, strong fiery red light spewed out from the bodies of both gigantic dragons. As they carried Zhou Weiqing, Tian'er, and the Elven Empress, they turned around and flew directly into the huge abyss that was a cavern on the ground and disappeared in just a blink of an eye.

Nobody said a word. With Shangguan Tianyang, Xue Ao'tian, and Long Shiya in the lead, all of the powerhouses of this generation slowly closed their eyes and said a silent prayer in their hearts. Without a doubt, all of them understood very well that Zhou Weiqing and the rest would not be able to defeat the Nether Lord. Due to this reason, all they could do was pray that the entire sealing process would be completed without a glitch.

As they flew into the abyss, the surrounding air suddenly turned cold. Fortunately, Hui Yao and Duo Si both had a strong affinity to the Fire Element, and it was thanks to this that they managed to drive the cold away. All that Zhou Weiqing and the rest could feel was a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

"Weiqing," Hui Yao's voice suddenly echoed in Zhou Weiqing's ears.

"What��s wrong, Hui Yao?" When he first came across Hui Yao, he was still a very feeble and ordinary Heavenly Jewel Master, but now he had grown into a powerhouse who was at the Maximum Level of the Heavenly God Tier similar to Hui Yao. Moreover, he was a Maximum Level Heavenly God who possessed a Saint God Nucleus Core.

Hui Yao told Zhou Weiqing in a very deep voice, "Weiqing, I know it's very likely that I won't have a chance to avenge my children. Ever since I knew you, you've helped us out many times, and every time we're with you, our problems were solved without many difficulties. What I'm trying to say is this time, if you who possesses Saint Energy has a chance to kill the Nether Lord, please do so with all your might! If you can kill him and avenge my children, Duo Si and I are willing to become your slave and servant in the future. We'll guard you and your offsprings for the rest of our lives, forever and ever until the end of time!"

Zhou Weiqing was taken aback. He could feel the persistence and determination, along with a hint of helplessness and despair in Hui Yao's voice.

Zhou Weiqing took a deep breath as he spelled out his words slowly, "I'll give it my best and do everything in my power!"

"Thank you!" Hui Yao's voice quivered a little.

The conversation ended, and they did not continue speaking about it any longer. Zhou Weiqing took a clear look at the surroundings calmly.

The huge cave was probably a thousand meters wide in diameter. Due to this, even a body as large as Hui Yao and Duo Si could fly inside the cave side by side without being overcrowded.

The cave wall was a dark gray color. A faint Destruction Energy could be felt in there. It was apparent that this cave was not artificially dug out. Instead, it seemed like it was blasted open by a powerful force.

Zhou Weiqing asked the Elven Empress who was seated on Duo Si's head, "Since we're going to face the Nether Lord soon, please do tell me more about it. After all, I'm not very well-informed regarding this matter. How did it manage to come here in the first place?"

The Elven Empress nodded her head, "Well, in truth, the appearance of the Nether Lord was actually caused by you human beings."

"We, humans, were the one who caused it to appear?" Zhou Weiqing asked, perplexed.

The Elven Empress nodded her head, "Yes. When the Nether first appeared, it did not have a living body at all. To be more precise, it's a powerful force of living things that evolved from energy. It made its appearance during the first emergence of living things in this world."

"Then what kind of energy is it actually? And where does this Destruction Energy originated from?"

The Elven Empress replied, "It's from all the negative emotions that come from human beings. It's mainly from resentment, hatred, fear, bloodlust and so on. These negative emotions then merged together and formed themselves into Destruction Energy."

She saw the disbelief in Zhou Weiqing's eyes as she continued, "It's hard to believe, isn't it? You may think that it's a little too much for me to blame everything on you human beings. However, the fact is, it indeed stemmed from all the negative emotions that you human beings feel. In ancient times, the Dragon Tribe and we from the Elf Tribe were the main rulers of this mainland. Even though we also had wars that time, there were only a few wars that actually took place. Moreover, we did not have those backstabbing, scheming tactics that you human beings always employ. What played the biggest role here was population."

"The Elf Tribe and the Dragon Tribes were particularly strong in the past. However, even during our most prosperous period, our population was barely one in ten-thousandth of the population of human beings now. You human beings have reproductive abilities that we envy to death. Additionally, all of you also use underhanded schemes to get ahead among each other. For this reason, the number of negative emotions naturally increased."

"At the beginning, these negative emotions were merely coming off your bodies. However, with the continuous increase of these negative emotions, some of the energy began to mutate and opened up a small realm of its own. In ancient times, we used to call this the Animus Realm. At first, when the realm was just opened, it was so small that it was almost impossible for anyone to detect it. However, with the gradual strengthening of you human beings, to the point that you gradually became the ruler of this mainland, wars and slaughtering continued to repeat itself again and again. This was how the Animus Realm became bigger and bigger as time goes by. By the time we discovered this realm, it had already formed its own consciousness and was already out of control. That's the Nether Lord that we all know now."

Chapter 838

"At the beginning, we were still able to destroy him when we joined our hands together. However, this Nether Lord was extremely cunning. It turned out that he actually drilled a hole in the ground of his realm and hid there so that our ancestors could not find him for a very long time. By the time he was found again, he had become much stronger than he was, as strong as Fen Tian whom you faced previously. At that time, we did not have the Saint Attribute so the previous Elven Empress burned herself into ashes to weaken him. Even then, they were unable to kill him. The Dragon Emperor, on the other hand, combined forces with the rest of the Dragon Tribe powerhouses to lay down a seal and sealed him with extreme difficulty so that he could no longer absorb anymore enmity from the outside world."

After listening to it, Zhou Weiqing let out a sigh of relief. However, a sad and mournful expression suddenly appeared on the Elven Empress' face, "It's precisely due to that battle that our Elf and Dragon Tribes were all badly wounded because our most powerful forces had all been sacrificed in that battle. In turn, it kind of sped up the process of you human beings taking control of this world."

Zhou Weiqing chimed in, "If that's the case, then the Nether Lord that was sealed should be very weak, shouldn't he? Since he could no longer absorb enmity from the outer world, there was no way for him to become even stronger. So what's actually going on?"

The Elven Empress let out a bitter smile, "Well, it was indeed like this in the beginning. He could no longer enhance his strength by himself, and we also thought that we could keep him sealed forever. However, as time goes by, things began to change. We've no idea how the Nether Lord did it but somehow, he managed to drill a tiny hole in the seal and absorbed enmity carefully from the outside world. By the time the Dragon Emperor noticed it, he had already become much stronger than before. Left with no other choices, the Dragon Emperor could only repeatedly strengthen the seal. However, if the Nether Lord could break the seal the first time, there would undoubtedly be a second time. If I guessed correctly, when he broke open the seal for the second time, he was even more careful than the first time and even managed to contact the Blood Red Hell to increase the grievances in the outer world. Not only that, it was the Blood Red Hell who helped direct the grievance into the Nether Realm. He finally made his first move when he became strong enough, and this time, it was already too late when we noticed it."

"The Destruction Energy that was formed by negative emotions had been strengthened to become as powerful as the Heavenly Change Tier through the constant purification from the Nether Lord. It's a level that even your Saint Energy will never be able to break through. Now, I just hope that with the help of your Saint Energy, we can completely seal the Nether Realm. With this way, you'll only need to infuse some intensified Saint Energy into it once in a while so that we can stop him from getting stronger. Although this is only a temporary solution, it's the only way that we have right now!"

Zhou Weiqing nodded his head in silence. Even the Dragon and Elf Tribe that were so powerful had their hands tied when faced with the Nether Lord. One could easily imagine just how powerful he was. However, this did not mean that there was no other way to deal with him. At the very least, the temporary solution would allow this world to continue existing in peace.

Hui Yao and Duo Si continued to push forward into the deep abyss. Every now and then, Hui Yao would spew out balls of fire to illuminate the pathway ahead. This abyss seemed to have no end at all. They had already flown for more than 15 minutes with their current flying speed and was at least fifty kilometers in. Still, there was no sign of them reaching their destination yet.

At this moment, a gentle pop suddenly sounded from an eruption below, and an intense Destruction Energy surged out from the cave below.

Zhou Weiqing's perception was the most alert. Within seconds, he immediately acted. His body remained still as platinum Nebula Saint Energy blasted out from a piece of lit star that was embedded in the chest piece of his Ringless Ground Purging Set. Although the Destruction Energy was powerful, it was not that pure. With just a flash of platinum light, the entire Destruction Energy was consumed by the Saint Energy.

"We have to speed up!" The Elven Empress announced anxiously.

Zhou Weiqing nodded his head. Several dozens of Nebula Saint Energy forces spewed out from his Ringless Ground Purging Set and formed a gigantic platinum light shield that enveloped the two gigantic dragons.

Both Hui Yao and Duo Si strained every nerve to increase their speed and charged straight towards the deep abyss without the need of Zhou Weiqing's command.

The two gigantic dragons had cultivation bases at the Heavenly God Tier. Now that they were charging forward with all their might, their speed was impossibly fast and as swift as the wind. The Destruction Energy in the air that accompanied them became even more intense as they made their way in deeper. All of them had a solemn look on their faces. They were all praying that the seal would hold, at least until they arrived at their destination.

WHAM —

A surge of Destruction Energy that was several times stronger than before crashed forcefully on the Saint Energy Shield that was being held up by Zhou Weiqing as it forced the two gigantic dragons to slow down suddenly. However, thanks to the Saint Energy, and the fact that Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy was purer than ever after he had reached the Maximum Level of the Heavenly God Tier, the powerful Saint Energy suppressed the Destruction Energy in the air by force. Due to this, the two dragons merely halted for a moment before they continued to pick up their speed again as they moved deeper into the deep abyss.

At this point, a voice erupted in the air, "Who's that?" What followed next was a wave of intense tyrannical energy ripple that burst out from the bottom of the abyss. A gigantic figure suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

Zhou Weiqing had traveled far and wide, and he had seen a great deal. However, even he could not help but be taken aback when he saw this huge figure.

Although the abyss continued to stretch downwards and the diameter gradually narrowed, it was still at least 500 meters wide in diameter. Nevertheless, this giant that had appeared out of nowhere from below literally obstructed the entire 500-meter wide pathway. With just this alone, it was easy to imagine just how humongous its body was. Hui Yao and his wife immediately felt dwarfed in comparison in front of this figure. Waves of Destruction Energy continued to emanate out of its body unceasingly. It turned out that the Destruction Energy that had attacked Zhou Weiqing and the rest earlier was only the residual energy ripples.

This humongous being turned out to be a turtle-shaped Heavenly Beast. However, there was one thing that made it stand out when compared to other ordinary turtles, and that was its head. It possessed a head that was almost identical to Hui Yao, or worse, even bigger than Hui Yao. A dragon head on a turtle's body. At this moment, glowing fire that looked like flowers were lighting up the patterns on its back. A pair of dragon orbs were staring fiercely at Zhou Weiqing and the rest.

"It's the Dragon Turtle!" The Elven Empress exclaimed in surprise. With a flash, she leaped off Duo Si's body. As a gentle green light shone downwards, the green light that was filled with the Life Saint Energy landed gently on the Dragon Turtle.

The Dragon Turtle was dumbfounded, "T-The Elf Tribe? Life Saint Energy? A-Are you the Elven Empress?" The hostility in his eyes immediately faded when he saw the six wings behind the Elven Empress.

The Elven Empress quickly replied, "I'm the current Elven Empress. Dear respected Dragon Turtle Elder, what's the current situation with the seal? We just killed the Nether Lord's advocate in the human world and are here to help out because we noticed that the seal seems to be in an unstable state. This is a human powerhouse, Zhou Weiqing, and this is his wife, Tian'er. They have managed to cultivate the Saint Energy with the help of the four Saint Attributes. I believe that it'll be a great help in reinforcing the seal. These two dragons here are the descendants of His Majesty Dragon Emperor."

At this point, the Dragon Turtle already had a clear view of Zhou Weiqing and the others. Zhou Weiqing had also withdrawn his own Saint Energy.

There was no doubt that the Elven Empress' Life Saint Energy had won the trust of the Dragon Turtle. Due to the fact that they were from the ancient tribes, the moment it saw the six wings behind the Elven Empress and sensed the Life Saint Energy that was extremely serene and relaxing, it immediately understood the goodwill of these newcomers.

Hui Yao's voice reverberated in Zhou Weiqing's ears, "Actually, the Dragon Turtle is also part of our Dragon Tribe. It's sort of like a mutated dragon, but it's extremely powerful. This Dragon Turtle elder's cultivation base is most likely at the Upper Level of the Heavenly God Tier. Not only that, the Dragon Turtle is known as the Heavenly Beast that has the best defense in the entire world. Even in ancient times, their population was extremely scarce. I did not expect the ancestors to place a Dragon Turtle Elder here to attend to us."

As he was saying that, Hui Yao led Duo Si forward to pay their homage to the Dragon Turtle who had lived for only-God-knows-how-long.

The Dragon Turtle stretched his head forward in Hui Yao's direction. A stream of intense red light beamed out from his eyes and landed on Hui Yao. Instead of dodging, Hui Yao merely stood still and allowed the red light to shine on him.

After a short moment, the Dragon Turtle and Hui Yao both simultaneously emitted the same golden brilliance from their eyes.

The Dragon Turtle nodded his head towards Hui Yao, "You must be the descendant that His Majesty had left behind in the Luster Spatial Realm. In this case, please follow me, hurry! I'm afraid the seal won't hold much longer. Let us talk about this while we move. All of you, get on my back!"

Hui Yao and Duo Si landed gently. Although their gigantic bodies also landed on the Dragon Turtle's back, it did not appear crowded at all.

A loud rumble resonated in the air. Zhou Weiqing finally noticed that all four limbs of the Dragon Turtle were inserted in the surrounding caverns previously. All four of his limbs were shaped in the form of dragon claws as well, and they were humongous. At this moment, the four limbs were retracted, and everyone instantly plunged straight downwards into the deep abyss.

"Your timing's just perfect! There have been multiple combat engagements at the seal, and His Majesty's heavily wounded now. We can no longer hold on!"

"W-What? Our ancestor is heavily injured?" Hui Yao was completely taken aback.

The Dragon Turtle replied in a deep voice, "We've no idea why, but the Nether Lord's strength has been continuously increasing in the last decade or so. We couldn't even find out where he managed to get his power. Recently, he had launched several attacks on the seal, and because of this, there were already many cracks on the seal. On top of that, not too long ago, he managed to break a small piece of the seal by force. His Majesty only managed to patch and reinforce the seal at the cost of a serious injury. However, all the cracks are becoming bigger and bigger, and it'll break anytime now. I'm sure all of you must have felt the force from the Destruction Energy. That's exactly the doing of the Nether Lord. Apart from that, I'm afraid the seal will break any time now judging by the Destruction Energy that's getting stronger and stronger as we speak. If it's not for the fact that I noticed your presence and went out to see earlier, I would've gone there to help the others to strengthen the seal."

After listening to the Dragon Turtle's words, all of them could not help but take in a cold breath in shock. The situation seemed to be even worse than they had thought. They could still accept the fact that cracks had appeared on the seal, but to the point that the Dragon Emperor — the one who played the most important role in the sealing process — actually got injured? What did that mean?

Chapter 839

The Netherworld Seal was previously completed by the Dragon Emperor who was the leader, the Elven Empress of that generation, and the rest of the powerhouses. The current Dragon Emperor was severely injured so one could only imagine how badly the seal's energy had depleted. Furthermore, would they be able to successfully reinforce the seal without the help of the Dragon Emperor?

Even though everyone felt slightly anxious in their hearts, they understood that their anxiety was useless at this moment. They could only pray for the best.

The Dragon Turtle fell at an extremely fast speed, and there was a distorted layer of light, with a pattern that glimmered indistinctly in the surrounding area. There was also a dense Destruction Energy that attacked the lower part of the Dragon Turtle's body. Its defense was truly strong and powerful to be able to withstand the violent Destruction Energy while remaining uninjured. It definitely lived up to its name of being the Heavenly Beast with the strongest defense in the world.

Zhou Weiqing pressed his hands on the Dragon Turtle's body as he infused a surge of gentle Saint Energy into its body. The Dragon Turtle's body noticeably trembled once when the Saint Energy entered its body, and just in a short while, it could sense the benefits of the Saint Energy. Its body stopped falling for a tiny moment as it turned its dragon's head around and nodded at Zhou Weiqing. Zhou Weiqing could clearly see that there were joy and excitement in its huge dragon's eyes. It was apparent that the Dragon Turtle could sense the suppressing effect Saint Energy had on the Destruction Energy.

The Dragon Turtle continued falling for almost an hour when the pattern on its back brightened up suddenly. It released a gush of air from its lower abdomen that supported its enormous body, and it reduced the momentum from the fall as it enabled it to land gently.

When the crowd arrived in this place, they realized that the surrounding darkness had gradually disappeared. Due to that, they were able to witness a magnificent scene.

The surrounding cave walls were glimmering with the dazzling radiance from countless colorful gemstones encrusted on the walls. The gemstones were glowing with a myriad of brilliant colors from the reflection of the Dragon Turtle's radiance. The deeper they traveled, the more intense the gemstones glowed in the surroundings. Zhou Weiqing swore that if these gemstones were excavated and sold outside, they would certainly be sold for an enormous fortune as he had never even seen most of these gemstones before.

"There's no need to be surprised. The rocks in the surrounding walls are continuously corroded by our seal's energy for many years, and they slowly formed from the gradual changes in the rock's internal structure. These are not real gemstones. They're actually filled with a large amount of attribute energy. It's quite similar to our Heavenly Beasts' Nucleus Core, and the Heavenly Core Nucleus of you humans," the Dragon Turtle explained.

With a thud, the Dragon Turtle's enormous body finally came in contact with solid ground. However, it did not stop there as it placed its gigantic dragon claws on the ground and moved rapidly along a route in front that led to the inside.

Zhou Weiqing and the rest had only discovered that they had finally arrived at the bottom of the abyss. They could not help themselves when a sudden realization hit them — they had indeed traveled a terrifying distance! The surrounding temperature was obviously different from when they had just descended into the abyss, it changed from the original icy cold temperature to scorching heat. The surrounding air rippled with water-like vapor occasionally.

"Are we close to the earth's core?" Zhou Weiqing asked curiously.

The Dragon Turtle explained, "To be exact, we're in the earth's outer core. We, from the Dragon Clan, are masters in controlling fire and so were the imperial families of past dynasties. His Majesty, the Dragon Emperor draws support from the energy of the earth's core to attain the highest level in his cultivation base so that he can maintain the seal."

Zhou Weiqing exclaimed with overwhelming emotions, "For the benefit of the mainland, the senior Dragon Emperor and all the seniors have truly contributed too much. It's just too much." He questioned himself — If he was in their place, would he be able to persist for so many years? Just the loneliness from carrying out this duty was not something an ordinary person was capable of enduring.

The Dragon Turtle did not march for a long period of time before the place ahead suddenly widened into a clearing that was brightly lit.

To everyone's surprise, even the Dragon Turtle's enormous body was dwarfed by the place that was as vast as an arena.

Zhou Weiqing could sense a sort of peculiar energy fluctuation here that made him feel kind and warm. He looked closely and discovered that there were a total of thirteen balls of energy floating in mid-air in the middle of this huge arena. The energy balls were constantly changing its colors. A giant Demon Magic Formation was formed right underneath the thirteen energy balls. The complexity of the Demon Magic Formation exceeded the complexity of Zhou Weiqing's design for the eleventh piece of Ringless Ground Purging Set, and it made one dizzy at first glance.

Out of the thirteen energy balls that were frozen and floating in midair, the biggest ball in the middle was over two hundred meters in diameter while the diameter of each of the twelve balls surrounding it was over one hundred meters. Together, the energy balls formed a Demon Magic Formation that was beyond even the word 'gigantic'. Zhou Weiqing already possessed a cultivation base at the Maximum Level of the Heavenly God Tier. However, he still felt small as he stood before the Demon Magic Formation at this moment.

Hui Yao and Duo Si leaped down from the Dragon Turtle's back separately. As they witnessed the gigantic Demon Magic Formation before them, Hui Yao could not refrain from sighing emotionally, "So this is the Netherworld's seal then? Does the Netherworld still lie below it?"

The Dragon Turtle murmured, "I can't say for sure that the Netherworld is lying underneath it because the Netherworld belongs in another realm. We're merely suppressing the realm. However, it's obvious that the Nether Lord had come up with a way to make contact with those above ground. Otherwise, his actual strength won't be continuously increasing. Human, were you infusing Saint Energy into my body earlier?"

The last sentence was meant for Zhou Weiqing.

Zhou Weiqing hastily nodded, "That's correct. It was Saint Energy."

The Dragon Turtle did not even attempt to conceal its excitement, "That's wonderful. I can feel that your Saint Energy is very effective in restricting the Destruction Energy. Please wait for a moment while I quickly request for His Majesty, the Dragon Emperor to allow all of you to enter the seal."

The Dragon Turtle let out a strange voice from its mouth as it was saying that. It sounded like an ancient language that carried an energy fluctuation that was similar to soul vibrations as the voice surged towards the largest ball among the thirteen energy balls in the sky.

A voice that sounded ancient yet majestic echoed, "All of you are finally here, my children. We don't have much time now. Enter the seal quickly."

A gust of gentle energy suddenly glowed from underneath the feet of Zhou Weiqing's group as halos of light emerged out from the surroundings. Zhou Weiqing and the rest felt that the surroundings had an unreal feeling to it. It was as if they were transported to another place by Spatial Law.

It seemed like they were already in another realm. The surrounding area was pitch black with only thirteen figures that appeared unusually clear within the darkness. The largest figure amongst them was at least eighty percent similar to Hui Yao's appearance. It was only that the figure's body was even larger than Hui Yao with the addition of a majestic and kingly mannerism. Its enormous dragon eyes were filled with infinite weariness and the experience of the many vicissitudes of life.

Zhou Weiqing could not help but be startled by the situation before his eyes. The Netherworld's Seal was so powerful that it formed a realm of its own. He did not even have any confidence that he would be able to charge out of here despite having the Saint Energy. Moreover, the realm was built from the inside out. On the other hand, the Netherworld was suppressed from the outside of the seal, and yet the Nether Lord still managed to almost break the seal on multiple attempts. His true strength must be unimaginably powerful.

There was no doubt that the largest figure in the middle was the Dragon Emperor who was supporting the core of the entire Netherworld's Seal.

"Mother." Tian'er shouted almost instantly. It was true that the Entropic Nether Tiger, Phelia was one of the twelve guardians by the Dragon Emperor's side. It was just that she was currently in the beastly form of the Entropic Nether Tiger.

Phelia stared at her daughter with gentle gaze but she did not speak. Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er could see the deep weariness in her eyes.

It was not just Phelia, all the Heavenly Beasts at the Heavenly God Tier including the Dragon Emperor looked extremely worn out.

"First Ancestor." Hui Yao and Duo Si's huge dragon eyes were filled with emotions when they saw the Dragon Emperor. They instantly knelt on the ground and worshipped the Dragon Emperor without hesitation.

"Stand up, this is not the time for etiquette. The both of you take over Phelia and Gang Dora's place, quick."

"Yes, First Ancestor."

The entire Netherworld's seal was extremely complicated. However, the complexity was mainly focused on the magic formation while the thirteen Heavenly God Tier Heavenly Beasts including the Dragon Emperor's main purpose was to provide the seal with adequate energy.

Hui Yao and Duo Si simultaneously leaped up and flew over. The Entropic Nether Tiger, Phelia and the other enormous leopard-like Heavenly Beasts that was entirely snowy white in color removed themselves in unison and were replaced by Hui Yao and Duo Si.

The entire magic formation's glow suddenly became more powerful with the addition of fresh troops. The darkness that surrounded the space became much brighter than before.

The Dragon Emperor nodded in satisfaction towards Hui Yao. It was apparent that he was satisfied with Hui Yao's true strength. Hui Yao's gaze that was earlier filled with enmity became much gentler and was replaced with respect.

"Senior Dragon Emperor, what do you need us to do?" Zhou Weiqing spoke to the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor nodded to Zhou Weiqing, "I have heard Phelia speaking regarding all of you. I hope that your Saint Energy is capable of triggering a decisive effect to completely reinforce the seal. Release a little of your Saint Energy first so I can get a feel for it. Then, I'll decide what to do with it afterward."

Zhou Weiqing nodded as he raised his head and shot out two gentle beams of Saint Light that spread out in the pitch black space.

The radiance that was emitting from the thirteen Heavenly Beasts with the Dragon Emperor as leader seemed to become brighter at once.

Surprise and emotion appeared in the Dragon Emperor's simple and unsophisticated voice, "This is truly Saint Energy and a pure Genesis Aura. Even though it's not the true Genesis Energy, it won't be a problem for us to reinforce the seal with the existence of this Saint Energy. Weiqing, you shall take my place after this. Everyone else, get on my body."

As he said that, a dazzling red light shot out from the Dragon Emperor's head into the area beneath Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er's feet, looking similar to a bridge.

The energy that was released by the Dragon Emperor was quite different from Hui Yao. Even though they both had control over the fire element, Hui Yao's control of the Fire Attribute was filled with vigor and agitation, while the Dragon Emperor's version of the Fire Element gave Zhou Weiqing an unexplainable feeling. He could not sense any temperature on the surface and it was very gentle. However, he discovered that the Fire Element was so pure that even when he focused on trying to find it, there seemed to be no impurities at all.

Chapter 839

They had the same cultivation base at the Maximum Level of the Heavenly God Tier and almost the same amount of Heavenly Energy. The only difference was the purity of their attributes and Heavenly Energy. This was the reason why there was still a huge disparity between Hui Yao and the Dragon Emperor's ability.

Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er's bodies were flying directly towards the area above the Dragon Emperor's head within the glow of the dark red radiance.

Zhou Weiqing held Tian'er's hand as they remained still. They allowed the wave of energy to carry them because Zhou Weiqing could clearly sense that it was impossible for them to arrive above the Dragon Emperor's head through the seal's magic formation entrance on their own. The Dragon Emperor was the core of the entire Netherworld's Seal. If someone were to forcibly approach him, the person would be immediately attacked by the rest of the twelve Divine Beasts under the guidance of the magic formation.

Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er promptly got closer to the Dragon Emperor. However, at that exact moment, the sound of a loud rumble shook the entire pitch black space violently. The powerful tremors even shattered the Fire Energy that the Dragon Emperor released. All thirteen Divine Beasts were shaken violently, and that resulted in Heavenly Energy shooting out of their bodies wildly. Not only were Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er stuck outside, their energy was instantly poured out at a shocking speed.

The pitch black space became completely bright at this moment. Various peculiar, dazzling light patterns and symbols shimmered against one another.

Zhou Weiqing felt as if he was in a sea that was viscous and dense at this very moment. The viscous seawater was tremendous Saint Energy.

The Heavenly Energy that was simultaneously released by thirteen Heavenly God-tier powerhouses was further amplified by the magic formation. It was unimaginably extensive.

Even with Zhou Weiqing's current cultivation base at the Maximum-Level of the Heavenly God Tier, he still found it difficult to move within the dense and viscous energy in liquid form.

This change was undoubtedly caused by the Nether Lord's second attack on the seal.

Zhou Weiqing realized that an enormous veil had appeared below the thirteen Divine Beasts' bodies from the violent assault earlier. The veil had a diameter of almost a thousand meters and was faintly tainted with red color.

There were already dozens of cracks crawling on the veil. As a result of the violent assault from earlier, the cracks were spreading out in all directions. It seemed very likely that the veil would collapse at any given moment.

The veil was transparent so that one could faintly see a huge figure standing behind that enormous veil. The fellow's body size was even slightly bigger than the Dragon Turtle. Due to the fact that it was separated by a red-colored veil, one could only indistinctly see that it was black in color. Zhou Weiqing was very familiar with the appearance of its form and body. It was almost exactly the same as the black-colored giant crab that appeared when Fen Tian borrowed the Nether Lord's energy.

The veil was undoubtedly the microcosm of the entire Netherworld's Seal, while the enormous shadow on the other side of the veil was exactly the true body of the Nether Lord.

The viscous Heavenly Energy was continuously injected into the gigantic symbol suspended in the air in an attempt to slow the cracks from spreading while it simultaneously reinforced the entire seal. However, it was apparent that the Nether Lord's assault was even stronger as the cracks kept spreading continuously like before.

"Do not waste your energy for nothing, Dragon Emperor. None of you are capable of stopping me this time. The human world's resentment provides me with continuous energy. There are no more opportunities for all of you. Hah-hah, hah-hah-hah-hah. Wait for me to get out. All of you will die, and I'll turn all of you into my puppets. All of you shall bear witness to my magnificent feat of destroying the entire mainland. I'm going to turn the Boundless Mainland into the Nether Mainland. I'm going to swallow everything so that I can create the real Netherworld."

The Nether Lord's voice remained as ambiguous as before. Moreover, it was different listening to its voice here compared to listening to it from the outside world. Every word it spoke caused an intense tremor in the soul that guided everyone's emotions. It pulled at everyone's emotion as if it was attempting to forcibly inject negative emotions into everyone's hearts.

"I'll never allow you to prevail, Nether Lord. I was able to seal you for millennia so I'm certainly capable of continuing my effort to seal you." The Dragon Emperor's eyes gleamed with determination. His energy was still surging out continuously like before. Even though Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er did not succeed at arriving at the Dragon Emperor's head, with the husband and wife duo, Hui Yao and Duo Si's recent participation as fresh troops, Heavenly Energy began to surge steadily and continuously increased to the point that it finally managed to reduce the speed of the spreading cracks. Moreover, it seemed like the cracks were trying to seal themselves.

"Perhaps, you'll be able to sustain your efforts in sealing me if you were still in your prime. However, you're done now. I've prepared a gift for you and now is the right time for me to present you with the gift." The Nether Lord's voice gradually turned somewhat hysterical. Following that, a strange, red-colored halo brightened the area before the Nether Lord's body on the other side of the veil.

The Nether Lord's assault slowed down noticeably when the red-colored halo first appeared. All the cracks on the seal then stabilized. Although it was difficult to try and close the cracks, at least the cracks would not continue to spread.

However, before the Dragon Emperor and the Divine Beasts even managed to catch their breaths, Hui Yao and Duo Si let out a dismal roar in unison.

On the other side of the veil, the red-colored halo released by the Nether Lord gradually grew clearer. Within it was two unappealing, tiny figures. However, it was obvious that they had the form of dragons. Two tiny little dragon forms that looked helpless and afraid as they moved rhythmically in the ball.

"Those, those are…" The Dragon Emperor's enormous body trembled violently as well.

"Children, my children. Those are the dragon children's souls. Return my children to me." Duo Si screamed out bitterly and was about to charge towards the direction of the veil. Although the influence of the magic formation prevented her from leaving her position, the entire magic formation became unstable when she moved.

"Stay calm, do not affect the seal!" The Dragon Emperor roared once, and it resulted in the realm within the seal shaking violently once as well. The Dragon Emperor relied on the Dragon Clan's powerful and imposing manner to forcibly suppress Hui Yao and Duo Si's wild emotional fluctuations. Even so, the Heavenly Energy that was transferred by Hui Yao and Duo Si became noticeably unstable.

"Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah, Dragon Emperor, do you like this huge gift that I got for you? That seal of yours is built on the foundation of the Elf Tribe and your bloodlines. Now that I have seized control of your bloodline, I'm interested to see what else you can do to seal me."

As it was saying that, the Nether Lord in the form of a crab probed forward with its two gigantic front claws. It managed to grab one little dragon soul's in each of its claws. A dismal and deafening roar sounded from Hui Yao and Duo Si as the dragon souls were instantly crushed. Dense black-colored radiance combined with two balls of crushed dragon souls' shadows slammed ferociously against the seal.

Boom!

The entire seal's realm was almost shattered in a flash. More than half of the magnificent colors in the surroundings also vanished. The initially desolated realm revealed itself once again. The group of Divine Beasts brought Zhou Weiqing and the rest along as they emerged together in the huge cavern that Zhou Weiqing and the others first arrived at.

A pair of gigantic front claws of a crab stabbed out from the bottom of the seal's magic formation and ferociously bombarded the Dragon Emperor's body. The impact sent the Dragon Emperor's enormous body into the air, and it crashed ferociously into the cave's ceiling, resulting in a loud bang.

A large stretch of scales under the Dragon Emperor's abdomen was smashed. Countless specks of a pitch black radiance surrounded his body. Blood splattered everywhere as the Dragon Emperor began spurting dragon blood wildly, with his entire body embedded into the ceiling.

The seal's energy was at its weakest at this moment. Even though the seal was still being sustained, the pair of gigantic front claws were waving around wildly, and it would soon break out of the seal and destroy everything. The Nether Lord would descend into the mortal world at that moment!

"Do not panic, count on me." A loud shout awakened the Divine Beasts that were filled with despair at this extremely dangerous and crucial moment. Following that, two platinum-colored figures flew into the air and arrived at the position where the Dragon Emperor was at earlier. At the same time, a surge of a bright green radiance suddenly brightened the area as it transformed into a huge green halo that gathered the twelve Divine Beasts to form the magic formation that was scattered earlier by the tremors. Then, it infused a massive amount of Life Saint Energy into them.

On top of that, the entire cavern also turned into a green-colored sea at this moment. An unreal light was suspended in mid-air as it emerged below the Dragon Emperor's body. The moment it appeared, even the movement of the Nether Lord's gigantic front claws became slower.

"Th-his is…" Every single one of the Divine Beasts was shaken but they had an expression of wild joy amidst the incredulity.

That colossal light shadow was a hundred kilometers tall, and its vast crown almost covered the entire arena. The dense Life Saint Energy and the green-colored radiance were exuding dense vitality as if it was formed from the most beautiful Emperor's green jade carving. Even the Dragon Emperor who was slammed into the ceiling and was already critically ill was forcibly pulled back from the brink of death after receiving a massive flood of Life Energy.

That was right. It was the Ancient Tree of Life. The Elf Tribe's Ancient Tree of Life. It appeared in this cavern to everyone's surprise. At this moment, let alone the Divine Beasts, even Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er's eyes were similarly filled with incredulity and disbelief.

This was the real fail-safe by the Elven Empress. The Ancient Tree of Life became mobile after its evolution. Ever since Zhou Weiqing left the Elf Tribe's Sealed Land, the Elven Empress started carrying the Ancient Tree of Life around even as she entered the Wan Shou Empire's area. It took her a few months to walk to the Heavenly Snow Mountain. She had been using her secret skill to hide and conceal the Ancient Tree of Life's presence so that no one but the Elf Tribe's elders was aware that she brought along the Ancient Tree of Life.

This was the Elven Empress' trump card. She had waited until this moment to use it.

When Zhou Weiqing was fighting against Fen Tian initially, the Elven Empress was very close to summoning the Ancient Tree of Life. It was all thanks to Zhou Weiqing who depended on his powerful Time Attribute technique that this final trump card was successfully kept until this critical moment.
