Imperial God Emperor (Web Novel)
chapter-821

Becoming like fishing boats in a storm, the five battleships were swung about by the wild winds and turbulent currents.

"Die!"

As Ye Qingyu turned his eyes, raging flames spurted out.

With little hesitation, he worked up the [Cloud Top Cauldron] once more and mercilessly sent it ramming toward the warship situated to the west.

At the west side.

The Black Moon Divine Palace warship swiftly reacted. It immediately stopped bombarding cannonballs at the blue splendor and hastily steered in the opposite direction to get out of the way.

On its deck, several hundred experts and elites were in a state of panic.

Perpetually boosted by origin crystals, the black protective shield became even thicker and stronger. Wisps of black mist formed a dense cobweb that wrapped around the battleship impermeably.

Meanwhile, on the command warship to the east.

"What's going on!" An alarmed-looking Elder Wang strode to the forefront of the bow, his Saintly might surging forth.

Glancing at the dark-yellow brilliance in the distance, an irrepressible astonishment and anger flashed across his eyes.

What a savage hit. It actually wasn't affected by the power of the windstorms. Who could that white-clothed youth beneath the giant cauldron be?!

And, what's that cauldron?

Why is such an ancient and terrifying aura emanating from it...

Just then, he heard a cry of alarm from behind.

"It's... it's Ye Qing... Ye Qingyu! It's that cursed one from the Heaven Wasteland!"

Someone among the neatly-filed disciples of the Black Moon Divine Palace recognized Ye Qingyu's identity.

Impossible!

Elder Wang mentally trembled and his eyes flickered a disbelieving look when he heard this.

Ye Qingyu...

How could he have appeared here?!

Although he had never seen this person before, the name was like an ear-piercing thunderclap he had long heard about.

Several days ago, the deployment of forces to surprise-attack and exterminate the envoy mission of this tiny Human Race domain, and even these few days of besieging the envoy mission around the clock, were all for the sake of this person called Ye Qingyu.

Moreover, the recent series of mishaps which led to a full mobilization of the Black Moon Divine Palace elites and elders at the various stations in the giant chaotic cities, and the setting up of a scheme and formation that caused much pain and many deaths upon the Black Moon Divine Palace in Falcon City, were more so for the sake of capturing this lower domain bastard.

But... how did he have the chance to escape!

Could... the plan in Falcon City have failed?

Those elders and experts stationed in Falcon City... Did something happen to them?

The visible turnaround of the situation was already extremely disadvantageous to the Black Moon Divine Palace, such that Elder Wang did not want to think of too much else.

Here and now, Ye Qingyu was like a fierce beast burning with flames of fury.

The copper cauldron under his control unleashed an extremely terrifying divine power which, upon impact, would turn even a peerlessly-solid warship made of diamond and iron into paste.

That apocalyptic weapon, considered irresistible, seemed to be unstoppable by any kind of power.

The warships, which unceasingly steered in different directions to get out of the way, were not fast enough to evade the agile and accurately-launched copper cauldron. As a result, these colossal ships became like lambs to a slaughter.

"Dispatch orders that all warships shall activate their greatest protective formations and are free to scatter. Be careful and don't get hit by the giant cauldron!" Having understood their situation before his piercingly-cold eyes, Elder Wang immediately issued a command.

Wisps of Saintly rage, which seemed like tangible light, surged out from all over his body.

His eye beams became increasingly strange as he peered at the giant cauldron which, completely unimpeded by the windstorms, struck agilely and freely in any direction it wanted, and even emanated wisps of Dao power and divine might.

That cauldron... What exactly is it?

How did this lower domain human called Ye Qingyu come to possess such a mysterious and odd giant cauldron?

Even with his current strength, Elder Wang was unable to perceive the type and grade of this divine object.

Although he did not know its origin for the moment, he nevertheless could determine from the snippets of its terrifying force that, even if the remaining five warships used up all of the remaining origin crystals to activate their greatest defensive formations, they would probably not be able to withstand its force.

Also, he knew very well that even if the body of a warship did not break from being rammed, the damage to its protective formation would make it difficult for the warship to withstand the chaotic windstorms subsequently.

In due time, the warship, together with the hundreds of Black Moon Divine Palace disciples on board, would be drawn into the turbulence of the windstorms and vanish completely.

The situation, which had seemed like a foregone conclusion earlier, now took a sudden turn for the worse.

It suddenly became the Black Moon Divine Palace's side which was being bombarded by a giant cannonball and needed to bear the fatal threat of the chaotic windstorms.

In the midst of the chaotic windstorms.

Controlling the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and turning into dark-yellow light, Ye Qingyu had become an irresistible and invincible force.

Bam bam bam!

The remaining warships uniformly pointed their cannons high up at the Void and unceasingly fired light-energy cannonballs.

"Batter him until he falls!"

"Get your aim right! Home in on him!"

"Steer away, quick!"

Cries of alarm were heard one after another on the warship.

However, the dark-yellow brilliance, which was powerful enough to destroy a city, was impossible to track within the windstorms.

"Ah, it's your turn to taste the coming of death!" A slight sneer formed at the corner of Ye Qingyu's lips.

Bathing in the glorious light, his arrogance rose high until he seemed like an invincible, apocalyptic killing god. A blinding dark-yellow radiance erupted from all over the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and charged directly toward another warship.

Compared to the agile giant cauldron, the massive and cumbersome warships moved as sluggishly as an infirm old man. They reversed at an extremely slow speed within the windstorms and arduously maneuvered away.

Meanwhile, energy-filled light cannonballs endlessly bombarded the [Cloud Top Cauldron].

Across the way, the cauldron did not reduce in speed.

A contempt flashed across Ye Qingyu's eyes, as if he was totally unafraid of cannonballs that came on end.

Thump!

The [Cloud Top Cauldron] gave a huge blare as the dark-yellow halo shrouding all over it emitted delicate ripples.

When the light cannonballs reached near Ye Qingyu and the others and collided with these ripples, they ricocheted and exploded among the chaotic windstorms one after another.

Thump thump thump!

Ripples arose all over the halo, causing a constant deafening noise.

All of the deflected cannonballs were nullified by the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and were sent flying on impact.

Boom!

A thunderous blare rang out momentarily.

Yet another warship was rammed into and destroyed by the dark-yellow brilliance, instantly turning into fine powder and light smoke and becoming lost among the chaotic windstorms.

Everything happened way too fast.

After the successive losses of two warships, the other Black Moon Divine Palace warships fell into greater disarray.

Within the ball of light, the alone-battling Ye Qingyu was as tiny as an ant, yet he never stopped ramming into and destroying each and every warship which was as lofty as divine mountains and giant trees.

The warships, which constantly switched positions in attempting to evade the bombardment, were like massive objects that had lost their bearings on a tempestuous ocean, drifting indeterminately.

Under the present circumstances, these enormous warships, whose workmanship was of the highest quality in the Black Moon Divine Palace, instead appeared cumbersome like no other. The result of its matchup against the freely-shuttling and incomparably-agile Ye Qingyu was becoming more and more plain to see.

This reversal of the situation caused Elder Wang, who served as the Enforcement Elder of the Black Moon Divine Palace and had attained the Saint realm a thousand years ago, to feel tremendous pressure.

On the command warship of the Black Moon Divine Palace.

"Retreat!"

Enraged, Elder Wang let out a frightening, angry roar.

As the supreme commander of this siege operation, he was responsible for the life of every disciple of the Black Moon Divine Palace.

Moreover, he had already drawn the conclusion that these heavy and huge warships had no way of shifting directions flexibly and smoothly, and thus could not compare with the freely-moving Ye Qingyu in terms of agility.

We cannot remain caught up in this. Otherwise, our fleet might be entirely annihilated before all of the warships have retreated.

However, Ye Qingyu's killing intent was soaring at the moment. The evil qi and flames of fury that wreathed his body seemed on the verge of turning into tangible substances, and his vigor had become like that of a descended fiendgod.

"Martyrs of the Heaven Wasteland above, may you all witness my massacre of all these douchebags today!" he bellowed angrily.

Losing no time, he turned into a dragon while simultaneously opening his mouth to gulp down a quarter-kilogram's worth of Origin liquid from the [Cloud Top Cauldron].

As the divine-level Origin liquid entered his body, Ye Qingyu once more felt that terrifying power of utmost essence and purity dashing into his dantian and bones. He instantly sensed a sharp pain coming from his muscles and bones, with every muscle on his body feeling like it had exploded from the terrifying power.

Although the divine-level Origin liquid could instantly enhance an expert's strength, its side-effect force was something which Ye Qingyu had learned about the hard way.

Nevertheless, he gulped down a whopping quarter-kilogram of it this time!

Just a drop of it could have taken an Immortal Step realm expert a year or so to digest before it gradually fused with the body and became effective. Even though it raised Ye Qingyu's physical endurance to the maximum level after he turned into a dragon, the pain he had to bear remained unimaginable.

Enduring the near-bursting pangs which were akin to burning needles all over, he could feel that the raging divine power in his body was soaring and flowing endlessly.

His battle intent and vigor peaked.

An asphyxiating and terrifying aura of constriction instantly radiated in all directions.

After he forcibly transferred the power of the divine-level Origin liquid into the [Cloud Top Cauldron], the totems on the surface of the cauldron promptly began to operate vividly, giving off an unmatched splendor that turned into a lustrous ball of light.

At the same time, Ye Qingyu and the [Cloud Top Cauldron] turned into a dazzling golden beam of lightning which shuttled frenziedly within the chaotic windstorms.

At this moment, his speed, power, and luminosity had all been raised to unprecedented levels.

The golden flowing light, which was now completely uncatchable by sight, impressively became a near-invincible presence throughout the world.

As if it was the sharpest blade in the world, the terrifying power would cut out rifts in the chaotic windstorms wherever the flowing light passed.
