At this moment, Chen Qing was truly terrifying!

Both Liu Yu and Zi Yue could feel the unfathomable aura emanating from Chen Qing, who, from the very beginning, didn’t focus on them but instead looked toward a more horrifying presence that followed the spatial fissure.

Liu Yu, sensing that aura, immediately fell silent. He hadn’t expected Chen Qing to be able to follow them here, and that the corrupted Siao Mingyue could as well!

The situation kept slipping out of control, which startled him.

"Not everything can be controlled with the Spatial Art; you are too obsessed with this power," Chen Qing said indifferently.

Without looking at Liu Yu, Chen Qing seemed to discern what was on his mind, "The Otherworldly Demon Statues you’ve seen, each one is infinitely distant from this mortal realm.

In your terms, they are beyond the infinite heavens.

The distance is practically impossible to cross by walking or flying. So, how did they make it here?"

Liu Yu looked up, staring blankly at Chen Qing.

"The power of space..." Chen Qing sighed, "There is nothing in this world that understands the power of space better than those otherworldly forces. The methods you possess are child’s play to them.

You intended to use the power of space to control Divine Blood for your own purposes. You are too arrogant, Liu Yu!"

Liu Yu: "....."

At some point... hadn’t someone said the same about himself?

Don’t overestimate Spatial Techniques, Liu Yu, they are not as useful as you think.

"No, it’s because of you!" Liu Yu retorted sharply, "You used Wang Ye and activated Flying Star to pursue me, leaving a loophole for that thing, not me. If calamity befalls this world, it is because of you, not me!"

Liu Yu’s hysterical voice had its reasons.

From the moment Siao Mingyue broke through the blockade to follow him here, it signified that things had spiraled out of control.

He understood how terrifying Divine Blood could be.

Just a drop falling into the water, if not controlled, could spread indefinitely.

Once free from spatial constraints, the infection would terrify the whole world!

And this was not what he had wanted, for he should have been able to control everything, had it not been for the person before him disrupting his plans!

"Is that what you think?" Chen Qing sighed, still without turning back, yet he advised, "You might as well take a look behind you..."

Take a look behind?

Liu Yu thought it was a trap, the other person trying to distract him, looking for the best opportunity to strike. But then it didn’t seem like that, because with the other person’s current imposing aura at this distance, he had no chance of reactivating Flying Star.

With this thought, he slowly turned his head, and then he was utterly stunned.

Behind him was his Array; unknown to him, his own technique had become riddled with holes and bulging with blisters, almost identical to the tumor-like Siao Mingyue!

"When did this happen..."

"The first time you tried to contain Divine Blood with the power of space." This time, it wasn’t Chen Qing who spoke, but Zi Yue standing by with a helpless look, "I really don’t know what you were thinking. You call me your nemesis, but I am just a product of a few Human Sorcerer Families’ research.

You can’t even shake me off with your technique, what makes you think you can control ancient creatures with power accumulated over millions of years? "

"No, I didn’t rely on my technique..." Liu Yu shook his head, his tone showing panic for the first time, "I used the Spatial Array of the Dragon Palace..."

"Activating the Dragon Palace’s Spatial Array was using your own Spatial Technique.

You leveraged your own art to trigger the palace’s art, so naturally others could leap over the palace and come directly to you," Zi Yue said calmly, "You have always loved to gamble with the little you have, never considering that relying on tricks is inherently risky, why do you think it would be foolproof? "

"I...."

Zi Yue no longer paid attention to Liu Yu but looked toward Chen Qing, "What do you plan to do?"

Chen Qing did not reply. As he watched the cold aura approaching from afar, his right hand closed slightly, and a massive torrent of wind from the heavens rushed toward his hand like a dragon tornado that swept everything away, the overwhelming force making even Liu Yu and the others struggle to keep their eyes open.

In the next instant, the tornado in Chen Qing’s hand transformed into a giant trident the size of a person!

Neither Liu Yu nor Zi Yue could comprehend where Chen Qing’s power came from; he hadn’t undergone Dragon Transformation, yet the power he displayed far surpassed the recently seen Dragon King Breed, Chen Baifeng, by an unknown multitude!

Sensing the surging power, Chen Qing felt a comforting assurance that everything was back under his control.

From the moment he arrived in this world, he had been in pursuit of power, but lacking time, he was always far from the most dangerous things, especially during his first threat from Emperor Siao.

And now, whether temporary or not, he was certain that at this moment, he was among the strongest in the world!

The icy darkness arrived as expected, and crawling out from the spatial rupture was the completely disfigured Siao Mingyue...

Chen Qing took a look around and thought that Liu Yu had chosen a decent spot, at least they weren’t in the sea. The creature’s blood wouldn’t spread as quickly by wind as it would’ve in water, even though the moment it emerged, its blood corrupted a vast swathe of the land!

The trees visibly mutated, their mutated roots wriggling into the earth like living earthworms, spreading through the surrounding land.

Seeing this, Chen Qing couldn’t help but sigh, "You fatso had it easy, escaping from the Dragon Palace and taking several wives to settle down and now you give birth to a troublemaker who stabs me with such a big hole, impressive indeed...."

"But that’s just like you, you were always like that. You were the most troublesome in the project team, producing the most bug-ridden work; I always had to clean up after you... all these years, and you haven’t changed a bit..."

Liu Yu stared blankly at Chen Qing, not understanding a word he said, but Zi Yue beside him suddenly raised her head, staring intently at Chen Qing!

"Forget it, I’ll clean up after you one last time!"

"Chen Qing..." From the opposite side’s twisted massive body came Siao Mingyue’s seductive voice.

That giggly voice was so sultry, it was hard to believe that such a disgusting monster could produce it.

"Are you here waiting for me because you can’t wait to fulfill our previous agreement?"

"This..." Chen Qing looked at her speechlessly, the previous invitation from Siao Mingyue, although somewhat unethical, at least it was an enticing matter, but this... was a bit too much.

"What?" Siao Mingyue’s tone turned cold, "Do you find me unattractive now? Don’t worry, soon... you will become just like me..."

"I will make Your Highness as beautiful as you once were." Chen Qing dropped his blood onto the trident, and under the sunlight, his blood was actually golden, shining with a glow that dimmed even the sun.

Siao Mingyue dazedly stared at the blood on Chen Qing’s hand, becoming infatuated for a moment.

"My Great Jin Princess Royale, such an outstanding daughter of the Human Race, how can I let something from beyond this world ruin you like this?"

The golden-glowing trident raised, Chen Qing looked at Siao Mingyue with utmost seriousness, "Rest assured, Your Highness, after you die, I will have Fei Jun perform mourning rituals for you, for Qingming and Cold Food Festival, you shall have your tribute!"

"Why?"

Behind him, Zi Yue stared blankly at Chen Qing and asked.

"Because in her final moments, her heart was with Humanity!

" Chen Qing said, looking at the motionless Siao Mingyue, "She had the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and at the final moment of corruption, she could have detonated it and perished together, but she did not.

She knew that once it erupted in combination with the Divine Blood, the Eastern Sea would be set ablaze instantly, and this world too would soon be in flames. "

Hearing these words, Zi Yue also turned her gaze to Siao Mingyue.

"She was unwilling to perish together, she was willing to lose to Liu Yu, with this, she has the right to be called the Great Jin Princess Royale!"

A dragon’s roar soared into the sky, and an enormous wind power gathered around Chen Qing, creating a massive force that isolated Chen Qing and the accompanied Siao Mingyue from the outside!

"Isn’t he afraid of us running away?" Liu Yu looked at the separating whirlwind.

"He never took you seriously from the start." Zi Yue replied coldly, seemingly too lazy to turn around and take another glance at Liu Yu.

And next to Zi Yue, Wang Ye, who had already reverted to his Ancient Worm form, was also confusedly staring at the massive wind barrier.

Within the wind barrier, Chen Qing in his dragon scale armor, faced off against the utterly corrupted Siao Mingyue.

"I, Chen Qing, Magistrate of Lyuzhou, send off Your Highness on your final journey!"
