Chapter 2486: The Hoth Emperor and the Illuminated the Sea of Blood

Hoth Palace was on a snowy mountain 70,000 miles away from Hoth City. It was snowing all year heavily, freezing heaven and earth. As far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of white, frozen ground that had never melted since ancient times.

In front of the palace that was as white as immortal jade, there was an Icecrane standing on one foot.

Although it was carved out of ice, it had always stood there. Even the oldest cultivator in the Hoth Palace had never seen it melt before, let alone know who had created it.

The Supreme Saint core figures of the Hoth Palace were gathered in the main hall.

Qing Yulou sat at the highest position. He wore a pure white fox fur coat, and its face was exceptionally handsome. It looked like a young and gentle scholar. However, even an old cultivator who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years could not help but avoid looking at it.

Qing Yulou said, “Ever since the Hoth Palace was founded, it has abided by the Hoth Emperor’s divine decree and never interfered in the conflicts between any forces. “But now, someone has brought disputes and massacres to Hoth. All the major forces in the Infernal Court have sent their top powerhouses here. A bloody storm is inevitable. “Elder Yun Qi, how do you think the Hoth Palace can stay out of it and ensure the Peace of Hoth?”

Master Yun Qi was the most respected figure in the Hoth Palace. He had cultivated for over 20,000 years and had made extraordinary achievements in the Path of Array.

......

Before Qing Yulou had grown up, he had been the most incredible powerhouse of the Hoth Palace for nearly 10,000 years. His influence naturally went without saying.

All the Supreme Saints felt it was customary for Qing Yulou to consult Master Yun Qi.

Master Yun Qi sat on a sacred jade bench. He said lightly, “This matter started because of Zhang Ruochen. Naturally, it will end because of Zhang Ruochen. After 100,000 years, the Star-Shield Grand Formation on Hoth had been continuously strengthened. Even gods wouldn’t dare to be presumptuous, let alone a group of cultivators below divinity? I don’t think you need to worry, master. The storm will pass soon.”

Qing Yulou smiled and shook his head. He said, “You did not understand what I said. I am not worried that they will destroy Hoth. I am worried that the Hoth Palace will not be able to stay out of this.”

Master Yun Qi’s eyes narrowed.

Qing Yulou stood up; his robes hung low on the ground, and his gaze became colder and sharper. He said, “I heard the elders are very close to the Enchanteur Chamber. This is not a good thing.”

The hall became unprecedentedly quiet.

All the Supreme Saints sensed an unusual atmosphere.

Master Yun Qi was still sitting. He smiled and said, “I only went to buy some resources to refine arrays. I have no personal relationship with the cultivators of the Enchanteur Chamber.”

“But your painting,?Snow-covered Land, is hanging in the Enchanteur Chamber,” Qing Yulou said.

Master Yun Qi could no longer maintain his smile. He did not expect the young master to be able to find out such a secret.

Before Master Yun Qi could speak, Qing Yulou continued, “There is a group of cultivators from the Heavenly Realm who have sneaked into Hoth through the Enchanteur Chamber. Hoth has strict control over the Supreme Saints of the Celestial Court. They were able to sneak into Hoth because of your connections, right?”

Although the Supreme Saints in the hall did not dare to comment or criticize, they looked at Master Yun Qi strangely.

Master Yun Qi’s expression changed again and again until it turned ashen.

This was too detestable!

This junior had been secretly investigating him.

Furthermore, he did not give him face. If he told all the Supreme Saints in the Hoth Palace about this, what kind of prestige would he have in the Hoth Palace in the future?

Master Yun Qi said in a deep voice, “The reason why Hoth is so prosperous today is that it is a lawless land. It is not under the control of the Fane of Destiny and the Immortal Vampires. It is not the first time cultivators from the Heavenly Court have sneaked into Hoth and even the center of the Infernal Court. Why is master’s tone so accusatory?”

Qing Yulou said, “On Hoth, there is no need to abide by the rules of the Fane of Destiny and the Immortal Vampires. However, Hoth has its own rules, which were set by the Hoth Emperor. Whoever dares to break his rules will become the enemy of the entire Hoth Palace.”

After saying the last word, Qing Yulou’s aura rose to its pinnacle. It was as if he had become ten thousand feet tall as he looked down at Master Yun Qi, sitting on the bench.

The Supreme Saints of the Hoth Palace were silent as they sensed the immense pressure.

“How powerful. Master’s cultivation has already reached such a level. No wonder he dared to point the spear at Master Yun Qi.” said a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint who could not move as he looked up at Qing Yulou.

There was nothing he could do. In his sight, Qing Yulou stood in the universe. Its body was enormous, and it exuded boundless power. It was as if it could destroy the starry sky with just a lift of its arm.

This was what he saw, not what he imagined.

Master Yun Qi was the first to bear the brunt of the pressure, and the pressure he was under was a hundred to a thousand times greater than theirs.

Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to make the first move and press out with his palm.

As an array master at the King of Sea and Land level, he had lived for over 20,000 years. It could be said that Master Yun Qi was covered in array formations, and he had countless trump cards.

Three layers of formations appeared on his palm.

The first one was the Array of Five Mountains and Seven Rivers, carved on his skin.

The second one was the Array of Demonic Sea, hidden in his flesh and blood.

The third one was the Array of Nine Ghosts, carved on his bones.

The three arrays were ninth-class arrays. They could withstand a full-powered attack from a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint.

The three of them combined into one. The power of the combined array increased significantly, and it could kill a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint.

This was how mighty a well-prepared King of Sea and Land Array Master was.

“I only wanted to exchange the insights I gained from breaking through to become a Hand of the World. What’s wrong with that? You, a junior, want to use this opportunity to get rid of me and take control of the Hoth Palace. How vicious.”

Master Yun Qi’s attack was as fast as a streak of light as he struck Qing Yulou’s chest.

The three arrays stacked together, Five Mountains and Seven Rivers, Demonic Sea, and Nine Ghosts. Countless array inscriptions struck Qing Yulou’s body. Instantly, a blinding light burst forth and sent the other Supreme Saints in the hall flying like scarecrows. They were sent flying out of the hall.

Master Yun Qi’s eyes revealed a look of joy as he thought, ‘This kid’s talent is indeed shocking. Unfortunately, he is still too young. I spent three thousand years creating the Tri-element Array. Even a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint would not be able to withstand it. Furthermore, he was hit directly. His Paramount physique would probably disintegrate in an instant.’

Amidst the white light, Qing Yulou sighed. He said, “The elder has worked hard for the Hoth Palace all his life. I have never thought of killing you. I just think you should not go against the rules set by the Hoth Emperor. You should be punished.”

“How is that possible?” said Yun Qi.

Master Yun Qi’s expression changed.

Rumble

The Five Mountains and Seven Rivers were shattered, the Demonic Sea vanished, and the Nine Ghosts were dispersed.

The three ninth-class arrays were instantly shattered.

The powerful force erupted from Qing Yulou, broke through Master Yun Qi’s spiritual power defense wall, and sent him flying, his body crashing into the wall.

The bodies of spiritual power cultivators were very fragile.

As his bones shattered into pieces, crackling sounds could be heard coming from Master Yun Qi’s body.

The white light dissipated.

Qing Yulou revealed itself, and its body was utterly spotless.

“No… impossible… impossible… you…” said Master Yun Qi. His eyes were filled with unwillingness, astonishment, doubt, and even a hint of fear.

Several Supreme Saints who had sustained minor injuries in the Hoth Palace rushed in from outside the palace hall.

They could not believe what they had just seen. They felt that they had underestimated this young master.

They bowed simultaneously and asked, “Master, what should we do with elder Yun Qi?”

Qing Yulou waved his hand and said, “Take him away to recuperate. Take good care of him. After he recovers, he can not leave the Hoth Palace for a hundred years.”

Master Yun Qi had a complicated look in his eyes. He mobilized his spiritual energy and shook off the two Supreme Saints trying to help him. His body floated up, and he flew out of the hall.

“From now on, I will only study arrays and painting techniques. I will not leave the Hoth Palace again.”

A hoarse and frustrated voice drifted in from outside the hall.

Qing Yulou smiled and shook his head gently. He said, “He is already over 20,000 years old. He should put aside the matters of the outside world. He should cultivate his body and focus on his hobbies. He can reach a different path and step into the spiritual power realm.”

Whoosh

A Communication talisman flew through the 3,000 snow mountains like a shooting star and into the palace.

Qing Yulou reached out and saw the contents of the Communication talisman. His amber-like eyes narrowed.

“Master, what happened?” A Supreme Saint asked respectfully.

“The Overseer from the Divination Division has arrived on Hoth and is heading straight for Enchanton!” Qing Yulou said worriedly.

A long crane’s cry sounded outside the Hoth Palace.

The Icecrane that had not melted for countless years came to life. It spread its crystal clear wings and sprinkled down divine light.

Master Yun Qi, who had flown far away, was greatly shaken when he heard the crane’s cry. He widened his eyes and looked back at the peak of the snow mountain. He said tremblingly, “It has been twenty thousand years. Twenty thousand years. The Icecrane has awakened again. It has finally awakened!”

Master Yun Qi’s face was filled with tears. He knelt on the one-foot-thick mountain path and kowtowed to the Hoth Palace.

The crane’s cry spread throughout Hoth.

The divine light in the Hoth Palace illuminated the entire planet. The clouds in the sky turned blood-red as if they had turned into a sea of blood.

…

In the Governor’s Manor of Enchanton.

Blackie pushed open the window and looked up at the sky. His expression was complicated. “The Hoth Emperor has come out. I’m finally relieved!”

Zhang Ruochen also looked at the divine light of the blood sea in the sky. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, “There’s no divine power, but no one can compare with this power. As expected of the Hoth Emperor, Xia Huangchao.”

After Blackie mentioned the Hoth Emperor, Zhang Ruochen became curious and found some information about the Hoth Emperor in the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

The Hoth Emperor, Xia Huangchao, was once the young master of the Fane of Immortality. 100,000 years ago, its combat strength was no weaker than the old master of the Fane of Immortality.

After the old master died in battle, he should have taken over the position of the new master. However, because he had let an important enemy go in the divine war, he made a big mistake and imprisoned himself on Hoth.

This was a character that even Wargod Bloodximius admired!

Blackie laughed. “Since the Hoth Emperor has come out of seclusion, even if the gods have come to Hoth, they must behave themselves. They don’t dare to make a move. They must have gone to the Hoth Palace to pay their respects! The array has been set up. Zhang Ruochen, let’s go. Today, we will activate the Grand Formation of Armageddon. Anyone who stands in our way will be killed without mercy.”
