Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 554: Green Lotus Divine Emperor
By now, he had no other choice.
The man in the black robe drew a glowing slit on his forehead, from which a crystalline Jade Lotus flew out and spun toward Qinchuan.
"This Jade Lotus is my Storage Magical Artifact!" The man in the black robe was in utter agony, his cheeks twitching uncontrollably beneath the chaotic mask.
With a wave of his hand, Qinchuan gathered the Jade Lotus into his palm.

When Qinchuan's Divine Sense entered the Jade Lotus, he immediately felt as if his consciousness had plunged into an ocean of Spiritual Energy.
Before him lay countless Heavenly Treasures Materials.
So this fellow had collected quite a few treasures; no wonder he was so reluctant to submit.
The man in the black robe had amassed a large collection of Heavenly Treasures Materials in his Storage Space.
However, aside from the Nether Grass and the Three Lifespan Fruit that Qinchuan had initially stolen, which were necessary for the awakening of his Innate Body, the rest of the Heavenly Treasures Materials were not of immediate need to him.
Nonetheless, he could use many of them for Pill refining.
Beyond the Spiritual Medicines, the Storage Space also contained numerous Divine Artifacts and various Divine Pills and Spiritual Medicines.
"Eh? What's this..."
Qinchuan raised his eyebrows and took out a dazzling Array Plate from the Storage Space, examining it carefully in his hands.
After a moment, Qinchuan's face lit up with joy, "I didn't expect you to have this."
"What is this?" the man in the black robe rumbled.
"You don't recognize it?" Qinchuan glanced at the man and nodded, saying, "That makes sense; it's quite normal for you not to recognize it, otherwise, you wouldn't carry such an important item on you."
"This is one of the twelve Array Plates left by the Green Lotus Divine Emperor, a really good item," Qinchuan mentioned casually.
Green Lotus Divine Emperor, a legend from ten million years ago, an entity rumored to have half-stepped into the Immortal Path.
He was also one of the rare beings in history to have broken the limits of lifespan, living a terrifying three million years.
Though Qinchuan had been reincarnated nine times and had always been searching for the twelve Array Plates consciously and unconsciously, he had never found them.
And now, to think he discovered it within the Storage Space of the man in the black robe.
"What? This is a treasure left by the Green Lotus Divine Emperor?" The man in the black robe drew in a sharp breath, his cheeks beneath the chaotic mask shifting constantly, his heart bleeding with regret.
This was a Supreme Treasure left by the Green Lotus Divine Emperor, a presence that could cause a sensation in half the Divine Realm, and he had just handed it over so easily.
When he had first obtained this Array Plate, although he had found it peculiar and somewhat mysterious, he couldn't activate it no matter what he tried, so he had not taken it seriously and casually tossed it into the Storage Space.
If he had known earlier that the Array Plate was an artifact left by the Green Lotus Divine Emperor, he would never have kept it in the Storage Space but would have found a safe place to store it long ago.
At that moment, the man in the black robe was even calculating in his mind that once Qinchuan lifted the Great Formation and he opened the passage to the Divine Realm, he would snatch back the treasure from Qinchuan in the instant he departed.
Meanwhile, as Qinchuan continued to indulge in the Jade Lotus Space, checking the Heavenly Treasures Materials.
Suddenly.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound came from the void.
Immediately after, a faint glimmer of light fell from the originally dim void above, where a crack had appeared on the screen of light.
This was a sign that the Heaven-Sealing Great Formation was about to be undone.
"What's going on?"
A flicker crossed Qinchuan's eyes as he looked up at the void.
"What happened outside? I haven't sent the agreed signal yet; why are they removing the Great Formation ahead of time?"
The man in the black robe had obediently handed over the Jade Lotus, and although he was indeed prepared to notify Mei Qian'er and the others that the Great Formation could be dismantled...
```
But now, before he had released the signal, the Great Formation was already dissolving. There was only one possibility: something unexpected had happened outside the formation.
"Damn it, Qinchuan, are you trying to get yourself killed? We haven't sealed our cultivation level yet, and you're suddenly withdrawing the formation. Aren't you afraid of being struck down by the Great Dao Laws?"
The man in the black robe cursed furiously, "You just promised you wouldn't pursue me, and now you're trying to use the Great Dao Laws to kill me!"
As he spoke, the aura around him swiftly weakened, not daring to take the power of the world's laws lightly.
Qinchuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he too began to seal his own qi.
By the time both of their qi had completely returned to the Great Emperor Realm,
the faint divine light in the darkness grew brighter and brighter.
Cracks, as fine as hairlines, appeared in the black light screens in the void, which rapidly began to spiderweb.
With a loud "boom," the Heaven-Sealing Destruction Formation completely collapsed, the sky cleared, and the Great Dao Laws of this world returned to normal.
The man in the black robe ultimately did not act rashly. He took out a Divine Stone from his chest and tossed it into the void, transforming it into a gateway of flowing light.
He intended to flee from this place, back to the Divine Realm.
In the Divine Being Realm, he was no match for Qinchuan, and now that he was suppressed back to the Great Emperor Realm, where Qinchuan had lived for hundreds of thousands of years in the Lower Realm and had an even firmer grasp of the realm, he knew he stood even less chance.
Just as the man in the black robe was about to step through the gateway, disappearing from sight,
Qinchuan called out from afar, "Hey, I didn't withdraw the formation intentionally. I keep my word and had no intention of using the laws to eradicate you."
During the trip to Crystal Mountain, Qinchuan obtained a Divine Organ, a Life Spirit Pearl, and, as an unexpected joy, the Array Plate from the Green Lotus Divine Emperor; he was in a good mood. He thought to himself, "Some things are better clarified. Otherwise, people may misunderstand and think I'm untrustworthy."
"What?"
The furious voice was like thunder from above the Nine Heavens, reaching afar.
Somewhere in the Divine Realm.
The man in the black robe was panting heavily, his face sullen, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. The last words from Qinchuan had completely aggravated him.
It turned out that the formation had not been withdrawn by Qinchuan, but had fallen apart on its own.
Doesn't that mean he could have just held off Qinchuan in the formation for half a day, or even less, to gain his freedom?
Had he wasted a vast amount of Heavenly Treasures Materials for nothing?
"Qinchuan! You just wait for me!" The angry voice echoed throughout the Divine Realm.
The automatic collapse of the Heaven-Sealing Destruction Formation meant that Mei Qian'er and the others must have encountered some trouble.
Qinchuan's Divine Sense spread out in all directions, ensuring there were no other cultivators hidden in the dark. Once certain, he headed toward the outskirts of the formation.
...
On the periphery of the Heaven-Sealing Destruction Formation, on a certain island.
The entire island was permeated with a strong scent of blood; blood mist lingered in the air, and countless dismembered limbs were scattered around. There were bodies of human cultivators as well as those of the Sea Beast race, the entire island stained crimson with blood.
At first glance, with the sun hanging diagonally over the sea, casting a faint afterglow, within ten thousand miles, a bleak atmosphere prevailed.
This place had turned into an Asura Field, like a Human Purgatory.
A horrific battle had taken place here; these corpses all belonged to cultivators from the Ancient Kingdom of Great Yan, who had assembled countless saints and above for the Heaven-Sealing Destruction Formation.
Mei Qian'er and Li Kaitian were both sitting cross-legged, both having sustained extremely serious injuries.
Mei Qian'er's face was pale, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Her once white robe was now dyed in red. Endless blood gushed from her left shoulder, where her arm had been severed.
Li Kaitian leaned against a massive rock nearby, his injuries even more terrifying. A sneak attack by a green arrow had completely penetrated his chest, leaving a hole the size of a fist, horribly gruesome.
The Mansion Masters of the four major caves in the Endless Sea Domain were also severely injured and had hidden themselves beneath the depths of the sea.
Li Kaitian and Mei Qian'er looked gravely at the seemingly gentle and autumn-like woman in the void.
