Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 130 Encountering a Talented Woman in the Tomb of the Fallen God (Part Two)
“My lady, I know I was wrong. I only wandered into the Ancient God Mountain out of curiosity. As for dealing with Lin Yue, it was because I was jealous of his talent and envied his abilities that I had the intention to kill him. Please forgive me this time, my lady.”

Qi Hong knelt on the ground in a humble manner, begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face. He had no dignity as a semi-saint, which made the talented woman of the Holy Book lower her guard.

The Holy Book Talented Woman possessed high spiritual power, but since embarking on the path of cultivation, she had never encountered any setbacks. Having spent many years by Empress Chi Yao's side, she had never truly taken low-level cultivators seriously.

In her view, it was only natural that Qi Hong would kneel down and beg for mercy after being caught red-handed.

"If you are willing to surrender, I will investigate everything. How to deal with you will depend on the will of the saints of the Two Elements Sect."

As the talented woman spoke, she looked at Zhang Ruochen. She had not only discovered Qi Hong's aura within the Ancient God Mountain, but also the "Lin Yue" before her.

She was about to ask a question when suddenly something unexpected happened.

Qi Hong, who was lying prostrate on the ground, suddenly leaped up and arrived in front of the Holy Book Talent in an instant, and pointed a sword finger at her.

With the cultivation level of the Holy Book Talented Woman, blocking this attack was naturally not difficult. With just a wave of her folding fan, she sent Qi Hong flying backward, breaking most of his ribs.

But the folding fan in her hand had somehow become tainted with a black, deathly aura, which seeped into her body along her arm.

The talented woman of the Holy Book only cultivated spiritual power, and her physical body was weak. She was just a mortal with flesh and blood. When the evil energy of death invaded her body, the spiritual power within her Holy Heart was suppressed almost instantly, and she fell from a saint to a mortal.

Qi Hong spit out blood as he got up from the ground, his body covered in blood, but he let out a very cheerful laugh.

"The talented woman of the Holy Book is nothing more than this; she has talent and strength, but she doesn't understand human nature at all."

To successfully ambush a saint while still alive, even with the body of a semi-saint, is naturally something to be happy about.

Without her spiritual power, the talented woman from the Holy Book lost her threat in front of Qi Hong.

He leaped up, slapped the talented woman on the head with one hand, and kicked her in the stomach with the other.

The violent collision caused the Holy Book Girl's belt to break, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maidens are all among the most beautiful women in the world, and the Holy Book Talented Woman possesses the refined temperament of a Confucian and Taoist cultivator, making her exceptionally rare.

Qi Hong had lived for over a hundred years and had seen countless women, so he had long since lost interest in romantic love.

But the woman before him was beyond description; even the phrase "beauty that could topple kingdoms" wouldn't suffice. Her eyebrows were unadorned, her eyes held the brilliance of autumn water, her nose was crystal clear, her skin was as white as snow, and her waist was slender. Even the old man Qi Hong couldn't help but feel a blasphemous urge to defile her.

Some thoughts, once they arise, can never be suppressed. For a half-saint, the pleasure of conquest is what they need more than romantic love.

The Holy Book's talented woman is a woman that many saints desire but cannot obtain. If he could make such a woman his own and play with her to his heart's content, the pleasure he would feel would be irresistible.

A single thought can give rise to a myriad of fears.

Qi Hong swallowed hard, reached out and ripped, tearing the outer garment of the Holy Book Talented Woman to shreds, revealing a large expanse of delicate, snow-white skin, leaving only her close-fitting undergarments to protect the last line of defense.

The talented woman of the sacred book had never suffered such injustice. Her mental strength was suppressed, and at this moment she was even more vulnerable than ordinary women, filled with shame, indignation, and fear.

She never imagined she would end up in such a situation.

The more she acted this way, the stronger Qi Hong's evil thoughts became. He reached out his hand toward the chest that the talented woman was tightly clutching, wanting to strip away the last dignity of this high-ranking spiritual saint.

Seeing this, Zhang Ruochen was about to make a move when he suddenly sensed a powerful aura and withdrew his sword to the side.

The next instant, the disheveled figure of the Three-Sword Half-Saint appeared before them.

The Three-Sword Half-Saint sensed the fluctuations from the Holy Book Talented Woman's earlier attack and rushed here, seeking her protection.

But what he saw left him stunned and rooted to the spot.

"This is... the talented scholar of sacred texts?"

When the Three-Sword Half-Saint was in the Holy City of the Eastern Region, he had seen the Holy Book Talented Woman from afar. He simply could not reconcile the frail woman before him, who was barely clothed, with disheveled hair, pitiful and on the verge of tears, with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden under the high and mighty Empress.

Qi Hong recognized the Three-Sword Half-Saint, and the smile on his face vanished abruptly.

He was only a first-order half-saint, while the Three-Sword Half-Saint was a third-order half-saint. In terms of strength, he was no match for the Three-Sword Half-Saint.

"So it's the Three-Sword Half-Saint. The Qi family is here on business. Our clan's Qiankun Saint is also on his way. I hope the Three-Sword Half-Saint will not meddle in other people's business."

The Three-Sword Half-Saint seemed oblivious to the threat in his words, focusing only on the phrase "Saint of Heaven and Earth," and was overjoyed.

He had no time to care how the talented woman had ended up in such a state; preserving his own life was his top priority.

"Excellent, Brother Qi Hong. I wonder where the Sage of Qiankun is? I am being chased by Di Yi. Di Yi's strength is too terrifying. Only a Sage can deal with him."

Qi Hong frowned. Emperor One?

When did he return to the Eastern Region and come to the Liangyi Sect?

Even a third-tier half-saint with the cultivation level of Three Blades Half-Saint was chased and killed so badly. When did Di Yi's cultivation level become so powerful?

"The Xu Sheng Clan is indeed worthy of having Kunpeng blood flowing through their veins. Their strength is not much, but their speed in escaping is faster than a rat."

A soft laugh echoed between heaven and earth.

The Three-Sword Half-Saint's expression changed drastically. He took out his sacred longsword and turned around to prepare for battle.

Above the cemetery, a figure in black robes walked through the void, exuding a chilling, deathly aura, like a ghost king emerging from the underworld, utterly terrifying. "Not good, he actually cultivated the Path of Darkness. In the Fallen Gods Cemetery, his strength has become even more terrifying." Under the half-saint's eyes of the Three-Sword Half-Saint, countless undead and ferocious spirits were seen behind Di Yi.

Upon entering the Forest of Fallen Gods, Di Yi unexpectedly discovered that his cultivation was not affected by the Forest of Fallen Gods at all; on the contrary, it was as if he were a fish in water.

The rules of heaven and earth within the Fallen God's Tomb Forest are extremely unique. The power that the Dark Path can unleash here is several times greater than that outside. It can even easily command the ferocious spirits at the edge of the tomb forest.

Landing atop a tombstone, Di Yi's gaze swept over it, and he was immediately taken aback by the scene before him.

Such a coincidence?
Did it just happen that the talented woman from the Holy Book was ambushed?
Because of the Empress's influence, Emperor Yi now harbors considerable hostility towards the people in the court. The Holy Book Talent is the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden under Chi Yao's command. Although Emperor Yi knew that the Holy Book Talent would face such a calamity in the original timeline, he never thought of coming to her rescue.

Moreover, due to the butterfly effect, many things may not develop according to their original trajectory.

Tonight, while chasing after the Three-Blade Half-Saint, I unexpectedly ran into him.

So Zhang Ruochen is also nearby.

Looking around, Di Yi couldn't see Zhang Ruochen. He only saw a small black dot deep in the tomb forest before it disappeared. Di Yi was speechless.

"He ran pretty fast."

Against the backdrop of countless undead and ferocious spirits, Emperor Yi's aura was so strong that it was almost on par with that of a Saint, making the Three-Sword Half-Saint and Qi Hong unable to muster any will to fight.

The Three-Sword Half-Saint, breathing heavily, shouted to Qi Hong, "Brother Qi Hong, quickly ask the Qiankun Saint to make a move; we are no match for him."

Qi Hong cursed inwardly, filled with hatred for the Three-Sword Half-Saint. If it weren't for him luring Di Yi here, he would not only have captured Lin Yue, but also tasted the Saintly Scholar.

He did notify the Sage of Heaven and Earth, but who knows when the Sage of Heaven and Earth will arrive? His previous words were just to intimidate the Three-Blade Half-Saint.

He took a deep breath, cupped his hands towards Di Yi, and said with a hint of flattery, "Qi Hong of the Moon Worship Cult greets Young Master Di Yi."

"What? You're a member of the Moon Worshiping Demonic Cult?" The Three-Sword Half-Saint's expression instantly became incredibly complex, as if he had lost his parents.

The talented woman, curled up on the ground, suddenly realized something. No wonder Qi Hong had infiltrated the Ancient God Mountain, chased after Lin Yue, and dared to treat her like this. It turned out he was a member of the Moon Worshiping Demonic Cult.

It's unclear whether he alone has sided with the Moon Worshiping Demonic Cult, or whether the entire Qi family has already joined the Moon Worshiping Demonic Cult.

Emperor glanced at him expressionlessly, and the undead and ferocious spirits behind him swarmed out, surrounding the three half-saints.

The undead are divided into malevolent spirits, impermanent spirits, and ghost kings.

The Ghost King corresponds to a human saint. The Impermanent One's strength is no weaker than a human half-saint. The Fierce Fiend is comparable to the Heavenly Realm and the Fish-Dragon Realm. Some powerful Fierce Fiends also have strength comparable to a half-saint.

The group of ferocious beings controlled by Di Yi using the Dark Path included many powerful beings comparable to half-saints. Although each one was not as strong as the Three-Sword Half-Saint, their numbers made up for it, and the Three-Sword Half-Saint was also seriously injured.

Before long, amidst piercing wails, the Holy Soul of the Three-Blade Half-Saint was devoured by the ferocious beasts, leaving only a fleshy body lying on the black earth.

Qi Hong and the talented woman from the sacred book witnessed the tragic scene and were both horrified.

The Path of Darkness, known as the most evil holy path in the world, represents death and destruction. In the history of the Kunlun Realm, whenever a cultivator who has mastered the Path of Darkness appears, a catastrophe will be unleashed throughout the entire Kunlun Realm.

Di Yi's current cultivation level is only half-saint, yet he is already able to control the evil spirits of the dead. If he becomes a saint, saint king, or even great saint in the future, he will be able to control a large number of ghost kings.

He has the full capacity to turn the entire Kunlun Realm into a ghostly wasteland.

Qi Hong was filled with trepidation. Although he had already revealed his identity as a member of the Moon Worship Cult, and the Moon Worship Cult and the black market were ostensibly in a cooperative relationship, he had no idea whether Di Yi would show mercy because of this.

“Young Master Di Yi, I used evil energy to suppress the spiritual power of the Holy Book Talented Woman. She is now no different from an ordinary person. If you like her, consider it a gift from me.”

Di Yi leaped down from the tombstone, casually collecting the corpse and sacred artifact of the Three-Blade Half-Saint. He then looked with interest at the Holy Book Talent, who was curled up in a ball, trying her best to cover herself up.

He also found it hard to believe that the spirited and aloof scholar he had met in Nanyang Prefecture had turned into this.

It's just... such a stark contrast.

It must be said that although the talented woman of the Holy Book was covered in mud and looked quite disheveled, her allure to men reached its peak, making them unable to resist the urge to seduce.

Under Di Yi's gaze, the talented woman of the Holy Book couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. When she first met Di Yi, she thought he was neither good nor evil and could be guided.

However, in the battle of Dingxuan Prefecture, Emperor Yi killed countless imperial soldiers and righteous martial artists, which was a purely evil act.

The black market controls most of the prostitutes in the entire Kunlun Realm. The young master of the Black Market's First-Class Hall, who has completely fallen into evil ways, is probably even more terrifying than Qi Hong when it comes to lust and beautiful women.

"The Holy Book Talented Woman is a rare beauty, hard to find even in the entire Kunlun Realm. Only someone like Young Master Di Yi is worthy of enjoying her," Qi Hong said from the side.

Di Yi turned to look at him, raised his hand and pointed a finger, the sword energy piercing through Qi Hong's brow and shattering his holy soul.

"You wanted to buy time and wait for the Qi family's sage to arrive and deal with me, but you've miscalculated."

Qi Hong's eyes gradually lost their light, dying a death filled with unbearable frustration.

With a thud, his body fell beside the talented woman of the Holy Book, red and white substances continuously gushing from between his eyebrows, covering his entire face, his eyes wide open, dying with unresolved grievances.

The talented woman looked up at Emperor Yi in horror, only to see him slowly approaching. His dark robe swallowed the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

"I never imagined I would die here."
