Chapter 340 Unbridled

The divine light of the Purple Palace descended from the heavens.

Countless threads coalesce into a canopy, covering the starry sea.

Ye Li, carrying Jiang Shiyu, transformed into a rainbow of light, their figures tearing through layers of void as they headed towards the Void Origin Palace.

The entire Douluo Continent is almost boundless, a veritable universe.

Even for a powerful figure like the Luo Emperor, it would take several years to traverse the continent from its far east to its far west.

The Jie Sect is separated from the Kongyuan Palace by several great domains, an unknown number of light-years.

Even if Ye Li travels at full speed, it will still take a considerable amount of time.

However, teleportation nodes are also set up throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

You can cross it by paying a hefty price.

Relying on spacetime teleportation, Ye Li successfully arrived near the Void Source Palace.

The territory of the Void Source Palace is a vast domain, comparable in size to a star field, spanning several light-years.

Stars are like sand, mountains and rivers are like woven fabric, and countless palaces and halls float between heaven and earth.

Cities are scattered across the land, and towns stretch as far as the eye can see, where countless human races live and thrive.

Carriages and horses flowed like a river, merchants thronged like clouds, cultivators rode their swords through the air, amidst swirling spiritual mist and boundless radiance, resembling a divine kingdom on earth.

Ye Li's gaze swept over the territory of the Soul-Destroying Luo Emperor, which was much better than he had expected: "It is a peaceful scene, but it is all man-made fairyland."

Within his own light, this peaceful scene unfolds within a radius of billions of kilometers.

Beyond this area, the land is barren, devoid of any spiritual energy, and the people live in poverty, lacking martial arts skills; it is a land of extremes, with some suffering from drought and others from floods.

Ye Li could see clearly that the entire area was shrouded by a huge magic array, drawing all the spiritual energy within several light-years of the surrounding area towards the core.

Ordinary people outside the realm of laws are as if they have returned to an era without spirits, completely unable to cultivate.

Jiang Shiyu, who was standing to the side, said, "The outer perimeter of this entire territory is merely the blood and flesh of the Soul-Destroying Luo Emperor."

Ye Li was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Master, the Soul-Destroying Lolita Emperor is already over 40,000 years old, yet she still maintains the appearance of a loli."

Jiang Shiyu explained, "It's because he, like the ancient Great Luo, absorbs the lifeblood and souls of mortals to maintain his youthful appearance."

"Every ten years, one-tenth of the cultivators in the core area of ​​the Void Source Hall are devoured, so he needs a sufficient number of low-level cultivators, and therefore naturally needs to maintain the number of people in the domain."

"The last time it was devoured was five years ago; those who died have already been buried."

Ye Li nodded thoughtfully.

The entire outer perimeter of the Void Source Palace is unsuitable for cultivation due to the lack of spiritual energy, while the inner circle, rich in spiritual energy, is the pasture where the Soul-Destroying Empress maintains her youthful appearance.

They continued on their way, passing through the outer perimeter and the core area of ​​the road, where the spiritual energy was almost condensed into clouds and mist.

Deep within this endless spiritual mist, a majestic palace floats in the void, its entire body forged from azure divine jade, with nine jade dragons coiling around its ridge.

The entire grand hall is a world unto itself, with a simulated star suspended in the dome, creating a cycle of day and night and the four seasons, like a fairyland.

In the fairyland, a group of children around ten years old were playing. Each of them had delicate features and an extraordinary demeanor, and were clearly disciples of the Soul-Devouring Empress.

At this moment, these people are busy in the palace, setting up the venue for this grand gathering of the Emperor Luo.

Fragrant incense wafted through the air, auspicious clouds filled the air, five-colored brocade was laid on the jade platform, and ethereal mist drifted between the precious pavilions.

On the plate are dragon liver and phoenix marrow, sliced ​​as thin as cicada wings, crystal clear, and amber-colored spirit wine, served in a luminous cup. As the wine flows, it seems as if stars are floating in the cup.

Clearly, the Soul-Destroying Empress has put in a great deal of effort for this grand event.

When Ye Li and Jiang Shiyu sat down, a few Luo Di were already sitting around them, chatting and drinking together in pairs.

As these people chatted and laughed, Zi Guang seemed to be subtly lingering on Ye Li.

"This guy is Ye Li?"

A young man in red robes, wearing a cloak, sat imposingly on the throne, staring intently at Ye Li, muttering to himself.

Clearly, they were somewhat concerned about this inexplicably appearing Lolita Emperor.

In the past few months, they also sent their own forces to infiltrate the Jie Sect.

As the six methods of the Jie Sect spread outwards, even they could gain some insights and understanding from them.

This made many fans even more suspicious of her lineage.

Ye Li didn't care about that. After entering the venue, he found a seat and sat idly, watching one guest after another.

The following time proceeded in a strange atmosphere, and then more than a dozen Lolita Emperor-level figures entered one after another, with their cultivation levels ranging from the early stage to the peak of the Lolita Emperor realm.

Besides the Empress, there were also some ancient families wielding imperial weapons at the scene.

All told, this group comprises over forty Lolita Emperor-level warriors, occupying almost half of the entire Douluo Continent.

Any one of these powerful Luo Di (Lotus Emperors) could easily occupy a large territory, yet they were all gathered in one room at the invitation of the Soul-Shattering Luo Di, making Ye Li even more curious about the future of this gathering.

Just as Ye Li was observing, he suddenly saw a girl walking towards him.

Upon seeing the girl, Ye Li's first instinct was that she looked too old.

The newcomer was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with skin as white as snow, eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as paintings, and long hair that fell to his waist, shimmering with silver light.

Wearing a long dress, with each step she took, spiritual energy condensed into golden lotuses beneath her feet, and she walked towards Ye Li with lotus blossoms at every step, her feet not touching the ground.

Having spent so much time in this world, Ye Li has gradually gotten used to the fact that cultivators are all loli-like in appearance.

Seeing a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old, roughly the same age as himself, made Ye Li momentarily lose his composure, thinking to himself that he finally had a normal sense of aesthetics.

As the young woman approached, Jiang Shiyu stood up somewhat nervously and said, "Greetings, Palace Master!"

Upon hearing Jiang Shiyu's address, Ye Li realized that the girl in front of him was the Luo Di of the Flying Cloud Divine Palace that Jiang Shiyu had mentioned.

The silver-haired girl exchanged a knowing glance with Jiang Shiyu, then looked at Ye Li and said, "This must be the Tongtian Sect Leader. Shiyu has been fortunate to receive your care during this time."

"Palace Master Feiyun is too kind."

Ye Li smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Since you have joined my sect, you have only done what you should have done."

As the two conversed, an invisible force field separated them, which was observed by the surrounding Lolita Emperors. They all seemed to be deep in thought, wondering where Ye Li had gotten involved with this Lolita Emperor from the Flying Cloud Divine Palace.

The two met and were about to start a conversation when they both looked out as if lost in thought.

A figure slowly entered the main hall, attracting everyone's attention.

The newcomer was about eleven or twelve years old, dressed in a blue robe embroidered with stars, with long hair flowing down his back. His face was handsome yet sinister, his brows and eyes conveying a sense of profound silence that had witnessed countless ages, and his aura was unfathomable.

He slowly walked to the main seat, turned around, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked down at the crowd, saying, "You have come from afar, and I apologize for not greeting you properly."

The speaker was none other than the Palace Master of the Void Origin Palace, the Soul-Swallowing Empress.

He smiled lightly, showing none of the sinister nature he was rumored to possess: "The Heavenly Road is about to open, and I have invited you all here to discuss important matters."

He paused for a moment before saying, "However, before that, you may enjoy this banquet and let me, the Emperor, fulfill my duty as host. After the guests and hosts have had their fill of enjoyment, we can discuss other matters."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it lightly. At the same time, all the spirit lamps in the hall lit up, and the sounds of sheng, xiao, and pipe instruments rose from the void, bringing with them ethereal music that drifted into the sky.

Immediately, the group of talented disciples stepped forward to add wine and serve dishes to each table.

A young girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old and dressed in red, snorted and stood up from the table: "Enough nonsense! Get to the point. I've come all this way and waited for half an hour, not to listen to your rambling."

""

The speaker was named Hu Fei, a renowned Luo Di (Love Emperor) who, like Dang Hun, was at the peak of the Luo Di realm, so he was naturally not afraid of Dang Hun.

Compared to Danghun's ruthlessness, Hufei's defining characteristic is arrogance; she is a battle maniac who has challenged almost every Lolita Emperor.

Danghun raised an eyebrow and said, "Fellow Daoist Hufei, don't be in a hurry. As the saying goes—"

But as Hu Fei lightly tapped the table with his index finger, this action immediately made Dang Hun Luo Zun's face turn ashen. She said, "Hu Fei! How dare you—"

The next instant, the entire surrounding world rippled apart.

Boom boom boom boom boom—

In the silent roar, space and time seemed to vanish at that moment.

Under Hu Fei's fingertips, it was as if a supernova, a billion times more dazzling than the sun, had been lit up.

A terrifying destructive force swept outwards from her center, obliterating all the immortal wine and meat along the way.

And this did not stop there. The terrifying power transformed into an enraged dragon, causing buildings within a radius of tens of millions of miles to begin to evaporate under the terrifying destructive force.

The entire Void Source Palace trembled violently in the destruction, space and time were being stretched, and it was almost shattered with this press, but even so, it was still a scene of ruins.

Once everything returned to calm, Hu Fei stood calmly in the same spot.

The Void Source Palace, which seemed to hang eternally in the sky, fell to the earth with a single finger from the peak Luo Emperor, destroying countless reinforced magic arrays within it.

"How is it?" Hu Fei shrugged indifferently amidst the ruins. "Now that we can't eat any of this, can we start talking?"

Disregarding all pride, Danghun stared with a grim face at the collapsing Kongyuan Palace, the culmination of tens of thousands of years of his hard work.

But then, Hu Fei raised an eyebrow, turned his head with a hint of surprise, and looked behind him: "Your skills are impressive, sir. You actually managed to rescue those ants."

Ye Li stood up from his seat, his face showing displeasure.

Hu Fei didn't hold back at all when he used that finger strike.

If he hadn't intervened to protect all the cultivators, trillions of beings within the Void Origin Palace would have exploded under that single finger, leaving not even a speck of ashes.

However, at the scene, the group of Luo Di remained calm in the face of Hu Fei's behavior.

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, the number of Luo Emperors is less than a hundred.

Compared to the Lolita Emperor who could easily destroy the Void Palace with a single blow, mere mortals are truly like ants, whom one can catch as many as one desires.

Most Lolita Emperors wouldn't care about those inexhaustible sources of lower cultivation.

The relationship between the Lolita Emperor and the Douluo Continent is like that of a hundred humans living in a large continent of millions of square kilometers.

To the Douluo Continent, the Luo Emperor is very small, but to the lower realms, the Luo Emperor is too big.

Compared to humans, those beings around us are not even ants; they are at most molecules and atoms.

These lower-order particles are everywhere in the world, and the shadows of these bacteria are everywhere. For an existence like the Lodi, they cannot be ignored at all.

In this situation, if the Empress were to make any big move, the aftershocks would wipe out a large number of lower-level cultivators; even turning over in her sleep could crush hundreds of billions of mortals.

Thus, if the Lolita Emperors were to fight, the deaths of trillions of mortals would be considered a small number.

For Lodi, taking action without destroying the particles is not impossible.

For example, with that finger strike just now, Hu Fei could destroy the Void Source without killing mortals, but maintaining it is countless times more difficult than destroying it.

At first, the Empress might have considered the mortals, but she would never compromise herself for their sake.

As their lifespans continue to pass, they can't always be so careful, and they gradually learn to ignore the deaths of these thinking ants.

At most, when establishing a sect, they might have to consider those ants they find agreeable.

For those they don't know, they'd rather die than see them; it's simply their fate.

Even the Soul-Destroying Empress felt more heartbroken than these disciples that her bedroom, where she had lived for tens of thousands of years, had been destroyed.

He's actually a bit of a light sleeper.

After all, it had been sleeping for tens of thousands of years, but now this guy had ruined it.

As for the blood and gore filling the room, they're dead, so be it.

Then I can just go to other territories to freeload and eat some of the other mortals. At most, I'll get a few scoldings.

It is inexhaustible for all mortals under heaven.

He's just sneaking a few meals; does anyone really care about a mere idiot like him?

Therefore, the Lolita Emperors were too lazy to care about Hu Fei's casual area-of-effect attacks and were happy to see the situation become chaotic.

As for Ye Li, with over a decade of life left, he still hadn't recovered from the perspective of the cultivator below.

At this moment, Ye Li would do his part to save Hu Fei if he could, while simultaneously disapproving of Hu Fei's actions.

If they were of the same level, a life-or-death battle between two Lolita Emperors would be one thing.

In situations where restraint is possible, there's no need to be so indecent.

But meeting Ye Li's slightly displeased gaze, Hu Fei subconsciously raised his eyebrows and said, "What, are you feeling sorry for those lower-level cultivators? Don't make me laugh."

As he spoke, Hu Fei raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a provocative expression: "I was so busy with Tianlu and that old bastard Danghun that I almost forgot about you."

"You newbie, I don't know where you came from, but whatever, how about we have a fight!"

As he spoke, boundless power erupted from Hu Fei's body, spreading outwards.

This was not the minor disturbance caused by pressing down with a finger earlier, but the true oppressive aura of the Empress.

Even the slightest bit of it is enough to drive billions of ordinary people to mental breakdown and madness.

But at this moment, Hu Fei was spreading outwards without any restraint.

Clearly, they had seen from Ye Li's act of protecting the mortals that the other party still had a conscience and a bit of a saintly heart, and wanted to force Ye Li to fight them through this method.

A powerful aura, typical of peak-level Lolita Emperors, swept outwards.

Let alone the Void Source Palace spanning billions of miles, even the surrounding trillions of territories would cause the souls of countless mortals to explode.

Seeing the arrogant little brat's appearance, Ye Li was so angry that he laughed.

He lightly clenched his fist and said, "You want a beating, huh?"
