Chapter 743, Celestial Phoenix Maiden

This was Ye Qingyu's first time seeing Taowu Mountain Range. 

From afar, the Taowu Mountain Range, shrouded in Black Demon qi, looked like a tremendous monster hiding in the dark, terrifying and majestic. The black mountain peaks were rolling up and down reaching tens of thousands of meters high, each of varying height. Although the terrain seemed to be relatively gentle and relaxed, there was no lone peak or sword ridge, and the peaks were not considered steep, but that unparalleled heavy feeling that pervaded the place gave an indescribable sense of oppression. 

At first glance, the mountain range really looked like a fierce Taowu beast, creeping in the wilderness, especially since it was shrouded in the omnipresent Black Demon qi, and there seemed to be the raging roars of one of the four fiercest beasts, the Taowu beast. 

A terrifying demonic aura was spreading from the Taowu Mountain Range in the distance. 

From the previous news and information he gathered, the Door of Darkness of the demon tide should be in the Taowu Mountain Ridge, and the experts, major forces, countless geniuses, and authorities from all sides were also gathered in the mountain ridge, frantically vying for the endless treasures gushing out from the Door of Darkness. 

Ye Qingyu’s location was about several hundred kilometres from the Taowu Mountain Range. 

The door area was just at the periphery of the demon tide. 

Here it was already a blood bath. Corpses were piling up like mountains, but the extent of tragedy was most likely not even one tenth of the core area of the Taowu Mountain Range. 

Ye Qingyu had long understood this and was also unconcerned. 

He activated the power of Chaotic Thunder Liquid to grow a pair of twenty- or thirty-meter-long purple wings, which contained the terrifying lightning and thunder force. Like a Fiendgod, he directly soared into the sky, turning into a stream of light, as he sped toward the Taowu Mountain Range. 

His figure was like lightning, piercing through the Void, and where he passed, the huge purple thunder and lightning wings, like a pair of magic scissors, directing cutting apart the Black Demon qi that filled the sky, leaving a long scar-like trail behind him. 

The pressure of the lightning and thunder power, like the wrath of the sky, spread all around. 

This scene made many experts who were in hiding and trying to launch a sneak attack on Ye Qingyu have a sudden change of expression, trembling in fear at the sight. 

“Who is that person?”  

“So strong!” 

“Another descendant of some great force has arrived?” 

“I have never heard of someone who can control the power of thunder and lightning. The Taowu Mountain Range is becoming more and more lively.”

“Luckily I didn't attack just now, otherwise I would have become a dead body.” 

After a moment. 

Ye Qingyu had already arrived close to the Taowu Mountain Range. 

His figure was seen landing on a mountain peak on the outskirts of Taowu Mountain Range. Ye Qingyu released his consciousness power, surveying the situation. 

The reason why he displayed his power of thunder and lightning and streaked across the Void was in fact to deliberately demonstrate his power in a high profile manner to deter the ill-intentioned attackers and to threaten them to retreat. Otherwise, across the more than one hundred kilometer distance, he would suffer a lot of attacks along the way and it would most likely take him another few hours to reach his destination.

But when he finally reached the Taowu Mountain Range, he had to be more careful. 

There were just too many experts here. 

Following a brief survey around, Ye Qingyu's expression grew serious.

The mountain range had far too many strong experts, which greatly exceeded his initial estimate. As he was examining his surroundings, an extremely tyrannical aura, like a Fiendgod was lying in wait, was coming from all around the mountains. Each aura represented a terrifying existence that must not be provoked. 

All of a sudden------ 

“Hey? This is...”

Ye Qingyu was stumped for words. 

Because he suddenly sensed that in the south-western direction of the Taowu Mountain Range, mixed with the Black Demon qi, there was a familiar yuan qi of Lu Li and Yang Wanqu. 

And there was not just these two auras.  

In addition to the auras of these two people, there was an unfamiliar aura, a more powerful fluctuation of power, treacherous and strange, and several times stronger than that of Lu Li and Yang Wanqu. Mixed in with the aura was not only a remarkable power and strange yuan energy, but also contained the essence of the laws of the heavens, that with one glance one could not help but shudder.

Ye Qingyu could distinguish that Lu Li and Yang Wangqu had fought with the owner of the powerful aura.

It seemed that the arrogant and headstrong descendants of the major sects had met a very fierce character.  

“Interesting.” 

Ye Qingyu did not disguise his gloating at their misfortune.

After a thought, he decided to kept a low profile. He concealed his thunder and lightning wings and relied on physical force alone to move towards the core area of the Taowu Mountain Range. 

A moment later. 

In a deep pit of the low-lying mountains.

The giant rocky trees that surrounded the mountain range as well as the black vegetation had turned into ash. It left only bare black rocks and the large pit, which was like a crater formed by a meteor impact.

The several experts enveloped in pale blue mist exuded auras that were enough to make one shudder in fear. They were evidently from the same race, and were dividing the treasures that had been pillaged.

At the same time, they were discussing something. 

Ye Qingyu quietly hid himself and moved closer.

“Haha, Lu Li and Yang Wanqu, those two juniors are so reckless and arrogant because of the strength of their secta. I cannot bear to look at them. If it were not for the forces behind them, I would have long slapped them to death.” 

“Yes, the disciples of these levels of sects are good for nothing. They don’t have much ability, but are so arrogant and overbearing, and cause trouble everywhere. Haha, sooner or later they will be chopped to pieces by some cruel people.” 

“Keke, two juniors who do not know the immensity of Heaven. Don't care too much about them. Speaking of them, if those two fools had not provoked that woman and fled like dogs, we would not have a chance to pick up the good treasures here!” 

“Haha, that’s right. Do you know who the woman is that they provoked?” 

“Who cares who she is! If it were not for her, how could we get the treasures in the arms of the two boys? We should thank her well. She really is as beautiful as a fairy!” 

“Fairy? She couldn’t be the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, right!?” 

“What!? Celestial Phoenix Maiden!” 

“Is it the mysterious celestial girl who rose to fame two years ago, and who has mastered the power of the Phoenix?!” 

“That's her! That woman is very terrifying. She emerged from out of nowhere all of a sudden and has never suffered defeat. I do not know how many geniuses and older generation experts she has already killed. No one knows about her origin and who her master is, but to be able to master the power of the Phoenix, she is certainly one of the fiercest people that has appeared in recent years. We must not anger her!” 

 “I didn't think she'd even come to the Black Demon Abyss.”

“Lu Li and Yang Wanqu are blind to anger her.” 

“Those two fools break the law and commit crimes as they wish. They must have lusted after the Celestial Phoenix Maiden. Hahahaha, they really deserve it!” 

In the distance. 

Ye Qingyu turned away after listening to the conversation.

Celestial Phoenix Maiden? 

The name was very unfamiliar to Ye Qingyu. The two envoy elders and the Administrative Hall had not mentioned anything about the woman, but from the dialogue between the several experts, she must not be a simple person.

Lu Li and Yang Wanqu were always insufferably arrogant, therefore it was not surprising for them to provoke her. As for them being chased down by a girl, it really was retribution. 

Leaving the black rocky forest, Ye Qingyu continued to go deeper.

After one hour of time. 

He came to a rocky and desolate path that led to a valley.

After passing through an area of eerie evil currents and a more intense Black Demon qi, Ye Qingyu again felt an incomparably fierce killing intent.

There was another stealthily hidden attacker watching Ye Qingyu. 

This time he similarly thrust out his palm, pale blue storm force transformed into a vortex of strong wind, directly sending the opponent flying. 

In the distant Void.  

After a short muffled hum, two mass of dense grey mist directly fled in panic. 

Ye Qingyu did not stop his footsteps.

After passing over a towering and steep mountain ridge, he was suddenly startled, eyes fixed on the waves of Black Demon qi surging incessantly hundreds of meters away. 

In the midst of the of the black waves, there were two terrifying residual forces that were in conflict with each other, stirring the laws of the Void, and did not disperse for a long time. 

“Such power will only be left behind in the Void during a battle among top experts.”

Curious, his figure flashed. Heinstantly crossed the surging Black Demon qi and came to a flat part of the mountain.

Before him was a devastating scene. 

The mountain ridge, made up of black rocks, was severed directly by the bizarre forces, turning into a flat surface of thousands of meters. The rock formations were strewn with the remains of experts, spiritual qi and fractured weapons.

Ye Qingyu just swept a glanced over it and could tell that the remains were basically from the same force. There was a similar aura that remained and the uniforms on the bodies were almost the same, and without exception they were all searched thoroughly.

And among the corpses across the ground, there were some figures, like they were searching for prey, shuttling back and forth between the bloodlake and remains.

They were experts after the wealth of the dead. 

They did not attack each other, and evidently had reached a brief alliance. Even as they were speaking, the atmosphere was strangely harmonious.

The appearance of Ye Qingyu caught their attention. 

But when they saw Ye Qingyu, noticed that he was dressed in rags, looked like he had nothing valuable, and did not exude the slightest fluctuation of power, they immediately ignored him. In their eyes, such trash was a real fugitive, and had nothing but a lowly life. He came here to try his luck, but would probably die instead. He was no threat to them at all. 

The people glanced away and continued their search, and after a moment they walked towards the bottom of the mountain in groups.

Obviously, the purpose of these people was simply to sit and benefit from others, snatch the treasures of the dead experts, and had no intention to fight. 

As they gradually went away, Ye Qingyu heard some information from their conversation.
