Chapter 735: 735. Moon Time Domain!
Chapter 736: 736. Imperial Concubine · Huang Zhaoyue
Eight hours ago.
Just as Xia Feng and the others began cultivating the S-grade Spirit Robe, the outer barrier of the Babel Tower shattered.
The Six-winged angel led the Angel Legion and vanished from their spot, instantly appearing at the top of the Babel Tower, outside the abyssal black vortex space gate.
Jin Yangtian, however, was not in a hurry and leisurely entered the tower.
Uphiel was not surprised that there was still a space gate blocking the way at the top. He once again ordered his subordinates to set up a formation and began to break open the gate.
As Jiang Qiue had predicted, it took the Angel Legion and the Li Dong Legion a full 20 hours to decipher the space gate barrier.
“Buzz—”
As the gate was broken, the abyssal black vortex swirled with light, and ripples of energy washed outwards.
The Six-winged angel narrowed his indifferent eyes, his spirit sense faintly sensing that within the world inside the vortex, there were only four living beings’ auras.
Three people were gathered around one person, with spirit particles flowing rapidly within their bodies, forming a unified whole. They seemed to be cultivating some kind of Spirit Robe?
Although the appearance and strength of these four people were unclear, among them was a celestial shadow with a fox tail, which was none other than the esteemed and noble Lord Xi La!
Uphiel’s indifferent pupils lit up with a strange light. Suppressing his excitement and malevolence, he did not hesitate, spreading his snowy wings, and was about to charge directly into the vortex gate.
However, as soon as he made a move, he seemed to see something and his indifferent pupils shrank imperceptibly.
“Right Wing Your Excellency, if I were you, I wouldn’t go in there to seek death,” Jin Yangtian said softly.
Uphiel’s charging figure stopped half an inch before the vortex gate, his gaze becoming serious.
He had naturally noticed that right behind the vortex gate, there was a radiation field with mixed energies.
Although the radiation intensity was exaggerated, for a Sage, there were still means to ignore it. However, those irregularly darting rays emitting a strange colorful light were the truly terrifying things.
These rays would not harm a Sage’s physical body or spirit substance in the slightest, but they could ignore spirit pressure and directly catalyze mutations or even destroy their spirit base.
Having a problem with one’s spirit base would not lead to death, but Uphiel dared not gamble with his future.
“How about it, Right Wing Your Excellency, do you have a countermeasure?” Jin Yangtian was still leaning on his platinum throne, his eagle eyes curiously watching the inside of the vortex gate.
Although he couldn’t see the scene inside clearly, those four people were indeed cultivating, learning Spirit Robes? Or were they increasing their spirit pressure?
It was strange, under such a predicament, did these four people still have the mind to cultivate? Jin Yangtian shook his head, too lazy to pay further attention.
“To break through this radiation field, you either need to invite a god or use a Concept Skill targeting field-type abilities.”
Uphiel said indifferently. He was actually not in a hurry. The radiation field had indeed blocked him, but it had also completely trapped Lord Nine-Tails within it.
Since Lord Nine-Tails could not escape, she was already a trapped beast. He would have plenty of time to figure out how to resolve the radiation field problem.
Lord Nine-Tails would agree to become his tailed beast sooner or later!
While contemplating, he looked at Jin Yangtian and frowned, “Is Sir still paying attention to Area 15?”
“What, just a radiation field, and Right Wing Your Excellency wants to invite a Pillar State to descend? That’s a bit ridiculous.”
Jin Yangtian shook his head. “However, if we were to approach it from the perspective of Concept Skills, then there is a candidate.”
“Who?”
“Huang Zhaoyue.”
“Oh?” Uphiel mused, “Is she near Area 15?”
“According to the news I’ve received, this [Imperial Concubine] was originally heading to the Holy City in Area 41, but for some reason, she stayed in Area 14.”
Jin Yangtian narrowed his eagle eyes. “If Right Wing Your Excellency has enough face, you might be able to request her help.”
Uphiel couldn’t help but frown, falling into contemplation. Huang Zhaoyue, the adopted daughter of Pillar State Huang Ye. As she was the only adopted daughter of the First Pillar State, she was also playfully called the [Imperial Princess].
Ye Li, as a member of the Great Li royal family during the chaotic ancient times, was merely royalty of the old dynasty. This so-called royal family was only recognized and respected by some factions, but the major God-tier forces would not acknowledge it.
However, Huang Zhaoyue was different.
Huang Ye was not an emperor, but he was the strongest Pillar State in the empire. Furthermore, due to the extremely powerful surname ‘Huang’, over time, with the promotion by some sycophants or self-serving individuals, the forces protected by Huang Ye were crowned as [Huang Clan].
Not the ‘Huang’ of an emperor, but the ‘Huang’ of the Huang Clan—the clan of the Huang family.
But everyone knew that this could also be the ‘Huang’ of an emperor.
As for why Huang Zhaoyue was also called the [Imperial Concubine].
This was not because Huang Ye had some perverse hobby, but because under Huang Ye’s bloodline inheritance, there were two god-like offspring.
Huang Zhaoyue was engaged to Huang’s second son, and thus was also honored as the Imperial Concubine.
Huang Zhaoyue was the first God-tier genius to appear after the establishment of the empire. She once led an era. For the past few thousand years, there have been few news about her.
It was estimated that due to the appearance of the Saint’s remains, she appeared in Area 14, and was preparing to head to the Holy City in Area 41.
Uphiel had only met Huang Zhaoyue a few times before and was not very familiar with her. Naturally, he did not have the face to ask Huang Zhaoyue to come to Black Moon City for help.
However, this Imperial Concubine should be interested in the Innate God · Nine-Tails.
While contemplating, Uphiel produced a compass from his palm. Stars twinkled within the compass. He closed his eyes and began to try to contact Huang Zhaoyue.
At the same time.
Astral Realm, Moonflow Starfield.
Darkness was the main theme of the Astral Realm.
However, in the central area of the pitch-black Moonflow Starfield, layers of sacred golden steps extended into the infinite distance. At the end of the divine steps hung a dark gold crescent moon, and directly below it sat a cold and ethereal divine being.
Her face was obscured by divine radiance, making it impossible to see her features, but the dark gold crescent moon mark on her brow was exceptionally striking, ancient and majestic.
A thousand steps below the divine steps stood a middle-aged man clad in sacred white religious robes and wearing a triple crown of the Holy See, with his hands behind his back.
A light gold ceremonial cape engraved with a black moon hung on the man’s back, a monocle was worn over his right eye, and a gentle smile played on his lips.
Although he appeared to be a middle-aged man with slightly graying temples, it could still be seen that this person bore a six-tenths resemblance to Dipus.
However, compared to Dipus, the middle-aged man’s temperament was more majestic. Even with a gentle smile on his lips, his eyes were filled with a detached indifference of absolute control.
At this moment, he slowly raised his half-closed eyes and looked up at the black moon at the end, sighing:
“My God, your radiance truly shines upon the Southern Territory and watches over your citizens at all times.”
Just now, he had sensed that his vessel for usurpation, Dipus, had died without any memory transmission.
There was a delay in the transmission of senses between the Astral Realm and the Real World. The fact that he felt the death of his vessel now indicated that it had happened at least twenty hours ago.
Originally, according to his plan, there were three things to do: 1. Make the Red Moon descend, 2. Assimilate two Saintesses, and 3. Usurp Xia Feng to obtain another Sumeru seat.
However, only the first item had been completed. The latter two items, due to some unforeseen circumstances, had both ended in failure.
If everything had gone smoothly, he would have directly controlled two bodies with Sumeru seats to participate in the competition for the Sumeru Throne.
With this, he would have had a high probability of obtaining the Sumeru Throne.
It was a pity that there seemed to be an unexpected unstable factor on the chessboard.
