Yao Qiye! Emperor Weapon Tortoise Shell
With a thunderous boom!
It was as if a blazing sun had descended to suppress this space.
The bone shears radiated dazzling light, stinging the eyes of Jiang Yuqiong, Feng Wuchou, and the others.
Forged from the bones of a Half-Step Demon Emperor, it was an immensely powerful weapon!
In terms of sheer offensive might, it rivaled ordinary sacred artifacts.
Under Wolf Chuan's control, the bone shears unleashed ferocious power, rolling in waves, slashing downward through the air!
Carrying the divine might of an ancient sacred mountain, it bore down on Jiang Yuqiong!
"Big Brother, be careful!"
"Get back!"
Hui Shoutao, Feng Wuchou, and the others behind him cried out in panic, their voices frantic with alarm!
Jiang Yuqiong held only a few imperial-grade weapons—nothing that could contend with a sacred artifact!
If the bone shears struck, it would be a certain death sentence.
But…
Jiang Yuqiong merely sneered dismissively.
"Comparable to a sacred artifact, huh?"
"Looks like I'll have to rely on Mom again!"
He yanked the jade pendant from his neck and hurled it at the bone shears.
A colossal aura erupted, overwhelming and earth-shaking, transforming into a tempest of wind and waves that swept outward in all directions!
"Boom!!!"
The terrifying presence soared to the nine heavens and plunged to the nine netherworlds!
As if it would flip this entire world upside down!
This force surged like a raging sea!
In the blink of an eye, it obliterated the bone shears' divine power into nothingness!
Then, with a buzz of lament, the bone shears cracked like a broken eggshell, fissures spreading across its surface.
Its radiant glow dimmed instantly, falling to the ground like scrap.
"This…"
Wolf Chuan's sinister grin froze on his face.
He clearly sensed the bone shears had lost all power!
This mighty weapon… was ruined!
"How… how could this happen?"
The demon clan group was utterly horrified!
They'd relied on the bone shears to break countless restrictions and formations along the way.
Yet, upon meeting the jade pendant's power, it was instantly reduced to junk!
How could they accept this?
"What… what is that thing?"
Wolf Chuan, Hushan, and the other demon youths and maidens stared blankly at the sky.
The jade pendant pulsed with an overwhelmingly mighty aura!
As if it could suppress this entire world!
Under this presence, their internal power froze, unable to circulate!
Their bodies couldn't move an inch, nearly collapsing to the ground!
"Looks like your tricks are at an end!"
"Since that's the case, it's my turn to unleash a slaughter!"
Jiang Yuqiong sneered repeatedly, brandishing his longsword as he charged through the air.
While Wolf Chuan stood stunned, a single thrust pierced his chest!
These demon infiltrators schemed against the Ancient Heaven Sect—Jiang Yuqiong showed no mercy.
He withdrew his sword, blood raining down. Wolf Chuan's corpse transformed, revealing a massive azure wolf sprawled on the ground.
This sight sent shivers through the remaining demon youths and maidens!
At this moment, they couldn't muster any effective resistance!
Jiang Yuqiong's gaze swept sideways. A Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger descended, slamming onto Hushan!
"Boom!!!"
Hushan was smashed into a massive pit!
His organs shattered, blood gushing from his mouth!
"Too terrifying!"
The demon clan trembled, their courage failing.
"We can't let them reach the Emperor's Tomb!"
"We'll hold them here—Niu He, go warn the young master in the tomb!"
The red-robed girl shouted sharply.
At her command, a bull-like youth turned, rushing toward the cave behind them.
They'd encountered a catastrophic setback!
This human child wielded a supremely powerful treasure, suppressing them!
The young master had to be warned, lest disaster struck!
But just then, a flash of light at the cave entrance coalesced into two figures.
Leading them was a youth with a sharp, hawk-like nose.
Clad in feathered robes—woven from some divine bird's plumes, glinting coldly like forged iron—he exuded an imposing aura.
This was the demon group's leader.
His true name: Yao Qiye!
Seeing them, Jiang Yuqiong paused.
His eyes locked onto the youth's hands.
He held a crimson object.
It looked like mere dirt but glowed with a piercing scarlet light, as if stained by blood!
A fearsome aura of slaughter washed over them!
"The Emperor Blood Stone?"
Jiang Yuqiong easily guessed—this dirt was the Emperor Blood Stone.
The demons had infiltrated the Ancient Heaven Sect for this!
"Young Master!"
The four remaining demons cheered at his arrival.
"What happened?!"
Yao Qiye's gaze, sharp as an eagle's, swept over them as he demanded coldly.
The red-robed girl quickly recounted their ordeal.
Yao Qiye's eyes gleamed with icy fury!
"Back at that palace, it was these people following us!"
"Now they've barged in here!"
"Since you seek death, this young master will oblige!"
A cruel smirk curled his lips.
Suddenly, a palm-sized tortoise shell flew from his body!
Ignoring the jade pendant's suppression, it expanded in the wind!
Like a piece of the heavens, it bore down on Jiang Yuqiong!
Its profound aura flooded in like a tide, inescapable!
In that moment, even Jiang Yuqiong felt crushing pressure—breathless, nearly suffocating.
His spiritual power was locked down, unmovable!
The same fate befell the demons under the jade pendant earlier!
Behind him, Feng Wuchou, Hui Shoutao, and the others fared worse.
Trembling, they buckled under the weight, spines bending, near breaking.
"An Emperor Weapon!"
"The demons brought an Emperor Weapon!"
Jiang Yuqiong gasped in shock.
Staring at the tortoise shell, he was stunned!
It bore an Emperor Weapon's aura!
Its might rivaled his mother's Frost Heaven Sword!
Hearing him, Feng Wuchou, Hui Shoutao, Qin Yuxi, and the others panicked.
"We're done!"
"How do these demon bastards have an Emperor Weapon?!"
Their minds screamed, speechless.
Unthinkable!
These demon youths and maidens—why bring an Emperor Weapon to the War Dragon Secret Realm?
Just for the Emperor Blood Stone?
What grand purpose did that dirt hold?
"Rumble!"
As their thoughts raced, the tortoise shell descended, divine energy surging!
Patterns on it glowed—etched like the Dao's marks, weaving mysterious laws and truths, crisscrossing as if expounding all worldly meanings, capable of grinding down all laws and annihilating everything!
Instantly, Feng Wuchou and the others smelled death!
Under an Emperor Weapon's might, escape was impossible!
Before them, Jiang Yuqiong sighed deeply.
"Damn it… these jerks don't play fair!"
He looked up at the jade pendant.
"Mom, I can't hold out much longer!"
