Imperial God Emperor-Chapter 1322 - The Indestructible Divine Body

Translator: Aran

A flash of bitterness crossed Jiang Xiaohan's face when she saw his resolute and calm expression, but that soon twisted into a scornful look as she said, “Fine, you’ve always thought that she was right and that I was wrong. But do you know what I've been through all these years?"

Ye Qingyu shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong, or having been through tragedy or blessing; you brought it upon yourself."

"Is that so?" Jiang Xiaohan's expression turned even icier than before as she said, "Alright, since this is what you think, there's no need for me to make any further explanations. From now on, we are mortal enemies and I won't rest until I kill you!"

Her expression turned as savage as a blood azalea toward the end.

Ye Qingyu looked composed and did not say anything else.

"Hand over the City Lord and Lord Shangguan Wu; if you do, I'll spare you this once and allow you to leave," he said. As his qi activity circulated around him, the entire water realm seemed to have turned into a sword world; elusive sword will circulated around the realm, as though waiting for the command to charge. He could release this frightening sword will with a single thought; it would be enough to destroy everything, including the green storm divine dragons. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

"Haha, Ye Qingyu, don't you think you're underestimating me? No one knows who'd be the one to walk out alive yet," Jiang Xiaohan's expression was cold and fierce, and her enchanting charm gradually faded, to be replaced by a ruthless resolve as she said, "[Storm Prison], entrap!"

As her voice died away—

Dozens of green storm divine dragons tunneled into the City Lord's and Shangguan Wu's bodies and completely sealed their cultivation. They were now completely at her mercy.

"Kill!"

Then, her figure flickered as she launched her attack.

Ye Qingyu summoned ten thousand swords that appeared in the water realm with a single thought, and these swords charged toward Jiang Xiaohan. This was the highest stage of the [Life Sword Mantra] that he had comprehended and a strange phenomenon happened: it was as though those ten thousand swords were returning to their ancestor, and they immediately surrounded Jiang Xiaohan.

At the same time, he used his [Void Walk] technique to arrive next to the City Lord and Shangguan Wu, then tried to reach for their shoulders.

His first priority was to save them both.

"Destroy!" a sharp voice rang out and Jiang Xiaohan managed to emerge from the attacking wave of ten thousand swords. She exuded a mysterious power of annihilation that managed to destroy and defend against the Life Sword sword will.

The City Lord's and Shangguan Wu's figures flickered as they vanished and reappeared elsewhere.

"The melody of the wind is formless and shapeless. You'll never be able to save them as long as they are sealed by the power of storm," she said with a cold laugh. Flames burned merrily around her, then transforming into a fiery armour that accentuated her lovely figure; her fair and slender waist and stomach, and her long and slender legs. She looked like a war goddess who had emerged from the fire.

Ye Qingyu had to admit that Jiang Xiaohan was indeed a worthy opponent. She displayed the power of the [All Energy-Absorption Body] as she slammed out a punch that contained a terrifying power of Dao laws. Her attack made the heavens rumble and the entire Storm City quaked violently.

A strange expression crossed Ye Qingyu's face as he also retaliated with a punch.

Boom!

The entire water realm seemed to split apart and green floodwaters surged. A frightening killing intent was contained within every single water droplet; if a Quasi-emperor were to fall into this water realm, he would have been instantly turned into a puddle of blood before disappearing into nothingness.

Ye Qingyu felt a violent shudder run through his arms.

Countless rays of sword light ripped across the water realm and turned it into a sword light realm that blocked the killing intent from the water realm, protecting the Purple Golden Divine Guards from Storm City from the water realm's destructive power.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Jiang Xiaohan sent out countless more punches.

Her petite and slender body seemed to contain a destructive power; every punch she sent out caused the skies to rumble and tremble. If it weren't for the the water realm's fortifying markings and formation left behind by the Storm Martial Emperor, it would have been completely destroyed.

Ye Qingyu retaliated with a punch; its booming sound felt as if the heavens were about to collapse, as it ripped through the water realm.

Ye Qingyu could sense that there was a frightening destructive power contained within her punches, attempting to wriggle around and enter his body like maggots.

"This is the power of a Heavenly Saint Body!" Ye Qingyu exclaimed in shock.

He quickly recalled the descriptions he had once read from the Ye clan's palace. The Heavenly Saint Body was the strongest of the three combat bodies of the Fiendgod Age; it had the power to crush all primitive lifeforms from the beginning of time with its physical strength. It could also unleash a terrifying strength that was said to be able to cause the heavens to echo and rumble along with it, containing the power of the universe within each punch and kick. This description seemed to be a perfect fit with the strength from the punches Jiang Xiaohan was throwing out.

"Haha, Ye Qingyu, you seem to know quite a lot about me. I guess that bitch Bai Yuqing has given you quite a bit of information," Jiang Xiaohan said with a cold smile.

Her body let out a series of booms and rumbles, as though the heavens were trembling along with her, and countless rays of saintly light burst from her body to become part of her punch force. This resulted in the Great Dao crushing down upon Ye Qingyu, as a magnificent and uncontrollable force exploded from her punch.

That was a sign of a Heavenly Saint Body at the Grand Maturity stage.

"I didn't think that Heavenly Saint Bodies were still in existence in current times. What a pity..." Ye Qingyu said with a sigh. The Heavenly Saint Body type was said to rival the strength of ancient Emperors, at the time when it reached the stage of Grand Maturity. It was also said to be extremely powerful. If such a body type had been groomed carefully, it would definitely have become a strong pillar of the formation martial world. Unfortunately, he was sure that the owner of the Heavenly Saint Body had been devoured and absorbed by Jiang Xiaohan.

This was why Jiang Xiaohan possessed the strength of the Heavenly Saint Body type.

"Why are you acting like it's such a pity? Only I would truly be able to unleash the power of the Heavenly Saint Body, replicating the powerful strength that it could once display," Jiang Xiaohan said and laughed maniacally.

Ye Qingyu continued to send out punches in an attempt to block her attacks. As they battled on, he felt the extraordinary strength from the Heavenly Saint Body even more keenly.

As he sensed the extraordinary strength of the Heavenly Saint Body, he was even more astonished by the terrifying power of the [All Energy-Absorption Body], since it could even assimilate the strength of the Heavenly Saint Body.

"Let's end this now." Ye Qingyu gradually sensed and comprehended some of the mysteries of the Heavenly Saint Body, so he no longer tried to fight head-on against her. Instead, as he exerted his [Limitless Divine Way], his strength surged and he sent out a punch that exploded with the aura of light. His fist radiance was like an apocalyptic light sword. It was a combination of his physical strength and the Life Sword sword will.

Boom!

Jiang Xiaohan cried out as she was sent flying backward.

Her right fist was destroyed all the way up to her elbow and her skin cracked, exposing her bone and flesh beneath it. Blood splattered everywhere but she didn't seem flustered at all.

"Haha, Ye Qingyu, you have not let me down. I see that my Heavenly Saint Body is not a match for your body constitution either. If I devour you and merge your power with the core mysteries of the three ancient saint bodies, I would have an indestructible and eternal body, hahaha!" she laughed maniacally.

"Indestructible Divine Body!"

Her aura immediately changed, as though she had become a completely different person, exuding a completely different aura. An ancient and boundless qi swirled around her, together with a blood qi that could not be described in words. She seemed to have turned into an ancient and immortal fiendgod.

"Ye Qingyu, I've devoured and absorbed more than one Divine and Saint Body!" Jiang Xiaohan said with a cold laugh.

Her efforts over the past few years had not been in vain. She had also absorbed the Indestructible Divine Body in addition to the Heavenly Saint Body. This was a body type that was known to be utterly resistant and had boundless self-healing properties. Thus, even if she were to be smashed into smithereens, she'd be able to recover in an instant. Furthermore, that body type could not be corroded by external powers, and was also known as one of the supreme body types from primordial times.

As she laughed, her broken right arm immediately grew back and looked as good as new.

Ye Qingyu frowned slightly.

He knew how powerful his earlier punch had been. He also knew that even a Martial Emperor would have been injured by his earlier attack. Moreover, he had imbued his fist with sword will—after it entered her body, it would have taken her at least thirty to fifty years to recover. However, Jiang Xiaohan had managed to recover almost instantly. He had also once read some information about that body type from several ancient books and records. He should have known that the power such a body type would defy all logic.

"Ye Qingyu, do you want to know what would happen if I merge the powers of the Indestructible Divine Body with the Heavenly Saint Body?" Jiang Xiaohan asked as she laughed cruelly. "You'd be the first person to experience the power from these two body types together, so I hope you won't disappoint me."

Before her voice had faded away—

She sent out another punch.

The battle had started and Ye Qingyu's combat strength soared as he exerted his [Limitless Divine Way] technique.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The entire water realm seemed to have turned into a scene from a hellish massacre, as it started to bubble and boil frantically.

Jiang Xiaohan kept sustaining a series of injuries and her Heavenly Saint Body ultimately couldn't bear the brunt of his attacks, but the self-healing properties of the Indestructible Divine Body meant that she would be able to heal herself instantly, no matter how serious her injuries were. Even if her body was smashed into blood mist, she would be able to reconstruct a new body instantly, without exhausting her blood qi. This was completely different from how an ordinary Martial Emperor would heal himself.

She was practically invincible after she merged the Heavenly Saint Body and the Indestructible Divine Body together.

"Sword!" Ye Qingyu stretched out his hand into the void and the [Blood Drinker Sword] appeared in his hand.

The aura from the sword realm around Ye Qingyu rose up, and the sword will from the Life Sword became even more piercing. Then, with a sudden twist, the entire water realm was covered by sword will; Jiang Xiaohan's body was slashed into blood and ashes as ten thousand rays of sword splendor attacked her.

"Absorb!"

The [Blood Drinker Sword] unleashed its power.

Ye Qingyu pressed down on the sword body as he prepared to absorb the blood and ashes that flew all over the sky into the [Blood Drinker Sword].

"Ye Qingyu, you're such a cruel man," Jiang Xiaohan voice rang out. The blood and ashes that filled the skies escaped from the control of the [Blood Drinker Sword’s] power of laws. There was a flash of light, then a new body appeared a thousand meters away like a phantom. It was none other than Jiang Xiaohan.

Ye Qingyu remained silent.

He was already prepared to kill her today and wouldn't show mercy on her because she was a woman. The more powerful Jiang Xiaohan became, the more he couldn't afford to spare her. This woman was extremely cruel and evil, having already killed so many innocents. If he spared her, she had the potential to cause even more harm than the Sky Emperor if the fiendgods from the alternate space-time were to descend upon this world in the future.

However, Ye Qingyu was a little surprised to find that the [Blood Drinker Sword] could not control the Indestructible Divine Body.

"As I've said earlier, I won't be able to kill you but I have a way to bring you down," Jiang Xiaohan said with a cold laugh as her eyes twinkled menacingly. "I've already discovered your weakness."
