Chapter 1379 - 880: The Beginning of Madness

On the battlefield, Yang Qingqing was leading the alliance army of the Human Race and Beast Race, struggling to resist the large scale invasion of the Youhan.

Meanwhile, within the Mountain Realm, Yang Qingqing stood quietly, gazing at the disciple advancing under the Twin Trees.

He did it.

He lived up to the expectations of all living beings.

Similarly, she did it too.

She protected Du Yu well, preventing the disturbances of the world from hindering her disciple’s focused cultivation.

Du Yu was unaware that over the past half month, the situation in the western continent had rapidly deteriorated, and the battle was becoming increasingly brutal.

Just as he was unaware that as early as May 15th, when the Ancient Pine Tower was attacked, one Bottomless Abyss after another had opened in the western continent.

The conspiracy of the Youhan Tree had failed; it couldn’t anger Du Yu, nor could it kill him before he became an emperor.

Thereupon, the Youhan Tree launched its final attack on the Twin Tree Realm.

The Youhan Realm used the western continent as a breakthrough point, attempting to cover the world in gray mist and flood the Twin Tree Realm with the Cold Beast Army to massacre all beings.

"Ha..." Yang Qingqing let out a long breath and shifted her gaze, no longer looking at Du Yu under the tree.

During the upgrading of a Demon Tamer, their perception is extremely sharp.

Not to mention that Du Yu was advancing to a major stage, ascending to become a Demon Taming Emperor.

The woman turned and stepped forward, her figure disappearing into the tall Jia Rong Grass, not wanting to disturb her disciple in the slightest.

However, in the next moment, her steps suddenly halted.

The Jia Rong Grass, which stood over a zhang tall, parted like waves on either side, revealing her figure once more.

Because Du Yu suddenly opened his eyes and looked over.

At the moment the master looked over, the Jia Rong Grass intuitively parted to both sides.

The Holy Plant·Jia Rong Grass was naturally willing to obey Master Qing’s orders, provided they did not conflict with the orders of the Lord of Mountains and Seas.

The Jia Rong Grass was not sure if future Master Qing would become its mistress like Nan and Wei.

But no matter what, in front of Du Yu, others had to step back.

Yang Qingqing felt a bit helpless; as a Rotten Wood Body, she didn’t have the power to fly or escape into the earth, naturally lacking the ability to forcibly leave.

She turned to look back, wanting to say something, but saw Du Yu’s bright eyes.

Don’t go.

Yang Qingqing was certain she understood the meaning in his eyes.

Then, she saw Du Yu roll his eyes and hint at the ground in front of him.

Yang Qingqing: "..."

If she recalled correctly, this was the motion she often used when ordering Du Yu around.

He’s really reversed the roles here.

"Shasha~" A piece of deep red grass leaf approached, landing by the woman’s hand.

An ancient voice resonated in her mind: "Master Qing staying here will aid the master’s upgrading."

Yang Qingqing furrowed her brows lightly, carefully weighing the pros and cons.

Due to the Rotten Wood Body sharing the same thoughts as her true self, she couldn’t help but bring the tension and pain from the battlefield to her Rotten Wood Body here.

And Du Yu...

The Jia Rong Grass advised: "Master Qing knows the master’s Demon Taming Dao."

"Hmm." Yang Qingqing nodded gently, finally stepping out of the Jia Rong Grass, stopping at the edge of the grass cluster.

Yet she didn’t expect that Du Yu, gazing at the graceful immortal shadow, would roll his eyes again, glancing at the ground before him.

Yang Qingqing almost burst out laughing in scorn.

Greedy...

She didn’t respond to someone and instead sat down, her light green skirt spreading like tidal waters.

Du Yu’s expression showed slight disappointment, while Yang Qingqing slightly squinted, with a full intent of warning and command.

Du Yu indeed closed his eyes, focusing on his advancement.

With the special circumstances during Master Qing’s recent upgrade, Du Yu realized that not all thoughts are distractions.

The notion that "Demon Tamers must not have any excess thoughts during advancement" only applied to ordinary Demon Tamers.

Every one of the Seven Saints of Great Xia achieved absolute calmness and divine detachment.

The world also strives towards this, and the higher the level of the Demon Tamer, the more they need a serene heart.

Yang Qingqing was not exempt; no matter how talented she was, she was still within the realm of ordinary Demon Tamers.

Until one day, she met Du Yu.

This Paper Crane Disciple was the most special one among all beings in the Twin Tree Realm.

He marched at the forefront of the warfront between the two realms, performing magnificent feats of creation.

With years of entanglement with Du Yu, Yang Qingqing’s Demon Taming Dao was forcibly changed.

Thus came the scene from a few days ago, where even though Emperor Qing was breaking through, her heart was filled with thoughts for Du Yu.

With Master Qing’s example and guidance, Du Yu also knew how to upgrade.

He had never encountered a bottleneck in upgrading until recently, when various factors caused the words "become an emperor" to cloud his heart, allowing him to taste the pain of encountering a bottleneck that others face.

Fortunately, with Shadow Gu Tower’s guidance, Du Yu awakened promptly.

His story began with Little Fen Yang.

From then on, the story only continued, without an end.

Yan Ruyu, Shadow Gu Tower, Tribulation Ash Twin Arrows...

All the Demon Pets, Spiritual Artifacts, Demon Soldiers, and those closest and dearest to him.

Du Yu suddenly opened his eyes again, looking towards the immortal shadow beside the Jia Rong Grass.

"Whoosh!!" A Demon Soul suddenly burst forth from Du Yu’s body.

The fluctuations of his Demon Breath were already intense, and at this moment, it entered the final sprint stage.

Waves of force churned, causing the Twin Flower Waterfall to sway continuously.

Du Yu’s magnificent Demon Soul, stretched to its limits, seemed to envelop all of heaven and earth, including, of course, Master Qing.

You see,

You should not leave.

Yang Qingqing, bathed in Du Yu’s Demon Soul, struggled to calm her mind and steady her heart.

Her expressionless face seemed to be completely unaware of the emotions revealed within the Demon Soul.

Outside, the sun and moon rotated, and dark clouds lingered in the mountains.

No one knows how long it has been before a violent ring of fire rolled forth.

"Swish!" The Jia Rong Grass leaves immediately extended forward, sheltering Rotten Master Qing within.

"Whoosh!" As soon as the previous fire ring had dispersed, another ring of fire followed.

Inside the Xuanji Acupoint, the Divine Ghost Firefly embraced the great torch, joyfully flying up and down.

Demon Emperor·Divine Ghost Firefly!

"Du Yu! Du Yu! Du Yu!"

Listening to the cheerful shouts of the Divine Ghost Firefly, a trace of smile appeared on Du Yu’s face.

The Divine Ghost Firefly has always synchronized with him.

Sometimes it was the Divine Ghost Firefly lifting Du Yu off the ground, and many times, it was Du Yu taking the Divine Ghost Firefly to level up.

No matter who helps whom, the Divine Ghost Firefly always closely follows Du Yu, step by step.

"Hmm!" Little You Ying flew out, showing no changes in its appearance.

Its body remained 50 cm long, matching the specifications of the torch in its arms.

Its flaming runes showed no real change either; each rune was already exquisite enough.

"Du Yu! Du Yu! Du Yu!" Little You Ying spun around, flying left and right in front of Du Yu’s face.

The torch in its arms sprayed a thick wind-fire pillar into the air, causing the Twin Tree branches to dance wildly.

Meanwhile, its most beloved master leaned against the Twin Tree, resembling a puddle of mush.

Don’t get it wrong, Du Yu’s body was filled with violent energy.

He even had the illusion that he could crush the Little Hemp Flower behind him with just one punch!

It was precisely this sudden influx of terrifying energy that prevented Du Yu from making any reckless moves, fearing he might inadvertently damage surrounding things.

"Ah~" Du Yu let out a peculiar throat sound, feeling immensely comfortable.

The sudden surge in his physical prowess made him feel like he was "evolving".

In fact, each major stage upgrade always filled Du Yu with gratitude and awe.

Whether or not he could actually smash the Twin Divine Trees behind him is not the point, but Yu Emperor was certain he could easily crush the Yu General.

Yes! Absolutely yes!

This is exactly the feeling!

With such bodily strength, the Supreme can join forces with me to perform even higher-quality demon skills!

Speaking of which, previously under the Twin Trees, when I practiced bow and arrow skills with Master Qing...

Emperor Qing was purely playing with children, wasn’t he?

"Got some good news for you." A clear, cold voice came from afar.

"Ah~" Du Yu turned to look at Master Qing, intended to give a normal response, but the body felt too comfortable.

Hmm... couldn’t hold it back.

Yang Qingqing didn’t say anything about it, understanding perfectly since she too had experienced becoming an emperor, empathizing with everything Du Yu went through.

She said, "Qingci is coming back."

Du Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up: "Ah?"

"Du Yu! Du Yu! Du Yu!" Failing to get a response, the Divine Ghost Firefly felt extremely aggrieved, "Du Yu~"

Du Yu hurriedly stretched out his arms, gently embracing Little You Ying, pulling it into his chest.

As the saying goes: June’s weather, Li Mengnan, Little Fen Yang, and Divine Ghost Firefly’s face.

"Hmm~" Little You Ying felt happy again!

It buried its little face into Du Yu’s embrace, playfully rubbing against the master’s chest.

Yang Qingqing watched this scene unfold, continuing, "A day ago, the Shatang Tree contacted Qingci through Purple Marsh Lake; she’s expected to return to the mansion soon."

"Great!" Du Yu clenched his fist.

Bringing Qingci along, directly storm the Bottomless Abyss, and chop down the Youhan Tree!

Once achieved, all problems in the world will be resolved swiftly!

Du Yu looked at Master Qing: "So what Master Qing implies is that Qingci is on her way back but hasn’t reached Shatang Mansion yet."

"Yes."

Du Yu immediately answered, "Then I’ll head to the battlefield to meet up with Master Qing! When Qingci returns, I’ll enter the Sea Realm, take her along, and directly go chopping trees!"

Yang Qingqing thought for a moment and nodded: "That’s good."

She had considered many aspects; once Du Yu reached the battlefield, he could better adapt to his Emperor Level body.

Moreover, Kui Chou and Flowing Fire were both on the Xiangcha City side, when Du Yu goes tree-chopping, he should certainly bring these two Supremes.

While waiting for Qingci’s return, she, being the master, could also explain post-emperor energy utilization to Du Yu.

Moreover, Du Yu needed to raise the Demon Pet Contract quality a notch and teach the Divine Ghost Firefly compatible emperor-level demon skills.

The Divine Ghost Firefly’s new demon skill is formidable!

Its whole being could deconstruct into runes, scatter across the sky, while its essence can pass freely between runes.

It’s akin to the Rotten Wood Dragon Fish breaking into thousands of Dragon Carp, but fundamentally different.

The Divine Ghost Firefly’s body, torch, and surrounding rune rings aren’t its essence, thus don’t really allow "cloning" in that sense.

This collection can be summoned and pieced together anytime, and the essence of You Ying is just a cluster of flickering green flame.

This state is exactly how the Ghost Firefly Race presented themselves to the world at their weakest mortal level.

Yang Qingqing believed such a unique technique could indeed assist the disciple.

As for whether it could be useful when finally chopping Cold Wood... that’s a matter for later.

In any case, seizing every chance to strengthen oneself is never wrong.

"Swish~"

The Twin Trees rolled Divine Demon Bow and Withered Arrow towards Du Yu.

Du Yu held the Withered Arrow in his mouth, taking Divine Demon Bow over his shoulder.

He picked up the Void Axe, looking at the woman: "Master Qing, I’ll make a trip to Xuena City first, and bring along the Ashen Arrow. Where will you all be?"

Yang Qingqing: "Xiangcha."

Du Yu: "Xiangcha City?"

Again with Xiangcha City?

The Celestial Gate from the Celestial General’s Seal is located right inside Xiangcha City’s Bottomless Abyss.

Moreover, all insisted by Chi Ancestor...
