Chapter 476 - Not So Hard!
Zhong Yue shot up into the sky, he swung the snake tail toward Shang Qing and the others while his inner core rushed for Chi Qing.
Hu——
The Tai Chi Inner Core reached Chi Qing’s back and expanded out the inner core force field. Immediately, the young princess was sucked into the Tai Chi Force Field.
The Tai Chi Inner Core then shrunk down and flew back. Chi Qing could be heard crying shrilly for help while the inner core surface could be seen rippling like waves as she was attempting to escape the inner core. Zhong Yue grabbed the inner core in his hands and gently swiped his fingers across it.
Boom——

A loud explosion resounded inside the inner core as the young lady was killed and refined into another slight surge of blood essence in the inner core.
Five light wheels then flew out from the Tai Chi Inner Core, they were Chi Qing’s Yuan Shen secret realms.
But Zhong Yue didn’t even bother to inspect them, he just tucked them into his secret realms while he chased after Shang Qing. As soon as he got close enough, the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】emerged and he struck a palm at Shang Qing!
In the Returning Ruins, Zhong Yue’s true prowess had been suppressed by the five finger mountains left behind by that evil existence. The insidious force in the mountains prevented him from casting the Fuxi True From, unless he was willing to die.
Thus, he had been holding back his own strength against young gods like Shang Qing and Su Domi.
But now, they were far from the Returning Ruins, and there was simply no more reason for him to hold back any longer. He could finally unleash full power and cast the Fuxi True Form in the battles!
No evil force suppressing his prowess, and no worry of getting killed!
Kua Fuding, who was battling Chi Xue, had his face expressions changing drastically. In just a short while, Zhong Yue had already taken down so many experts like a cleaner casually sweeping dust away.
There weren’t many Qi Practitioners that survived the Returning Ruins, and in addition to the outbreak of the godly battle, most of them were killed with only tens of them remaining. Now, after Zhong Yue killed a few of them, only a handful was left!
“This brat, he wants us all dead!”
Kua Fuding’s heart thumped fearfully at Zhong Yue’s incredible power. He quickly struck out a heavy punch to push back Chi Xue and seized the chance to bolt away from the rocky planet. It wasn't that he was afraid of Chi Xue, but he was horrified that Zhong Yue would kill him as well!
Judging from Zhong Yue’s strength, he could definitely breakthrough his Immortal Body and kill him!
Zhong Yue’s prowess was already greater than his while they were still in the Returning Ruins, but with Zhong Yue in his Fuxi form, Kua Fuding was certain that he wouldn't survive!
He’s also cultivated the Immortal Body just like me and his is on par with mine. There is no doubt that he knows the flaw of the Immortal Body as well…
While Kua Fuding was fleeing, he looked back and saw that Chi Xue was still chasing after him. He quickly shouted, “Senior Martial Sister Chi Xue, why do you have to keep chasing after me?”
Chi Xue then turned and saw Zhong Yue still chasing after Shang Qing. But Shang Qing was fast and he wasn't weak; Zhong Yue still couldn’t catch up to him.
“Kua Fuding!” A thought flashed across Chi Xue’s eye,s and she said, “Help me kill Shang Qing, and I can promise on behalf of Zhong Yue to spare your life!”
“Deal!” Kua Fuding immediately accepted the offer. He raised his head and looked at the Shang Qing’s direction while morphing his body into the 10,000 feet tall giant.
Kua Fuding held out his hand and Chi Xue immediately leaped onto his palm. The ten thousand feet tall giant then mustered his strength and hurled Chi Xue out in great force.
In the next second, Chi Xue was tossed to the back of Shang Qing. She pulled out a silver hairpin from her hair and sword rays then rained down at Shang Qing, stalling him on the ground.
But Shang Qing wasn’t weak either. He immediately cast out the Lunar Mirror and repelled the incoming sword rays while he escaped yet another time.
All of a sudden, Kua Fuding came rushing toward him and intercepted Shang Qing on his course. Kua Fuding struck a punch down and Shang Qing was stalled again.
“Chi Xue, you and I are even now!” Kua Fuding strode out and left while he shouted at Chi Xue.
Zhong Yue and Chi Xue both immediately flew out toward Shang Qing. Shang Qing cultivated the Spirit Nurturing, Rebirth, Awakening, Atman Body, Inner Core, and Heavenly Dharma state of extremities while also having dual spirits and Yuan Shen. In addition to his breakthrough to True Spirit magnate, his prowess was actually on par with Zhong Yue’s.
However, Shang Qing had always been defeated by Zhong Yue. First was the Innate Tai Yin Divine Water which he was proud of the most was absorbed away by Zhong Yue’s moon core innate god. Then, when they reached this rocky planet, he was badly hit by the impact force from the battle between Six Paths Fruit Tree and Fu Tuo God, suffering even more severe injuries than Zhong Yue.
And now, Zhong Yue had cast the Fuxi True Form, easily killing the experts and faking even further damage to him, it had seriously affected his confidence.
Zhong Yue and Chi Xue rushed over, and the three were entangled in a blood-curdling battle. Skills and soul weapons were flying about and blood sprinkled down like rain!
Shang Qing was stained with his blood, he had been continuously changing forms between the white tiger and Star Toad while the two Yuan Shen had been changing unceasingly behind him. Shang Qing’s indecisive personality has dictated that he couldn’t fully utilize all of his prowess but there was still no doubt that he was strong!
While now trapped in a predicament, with death approaching, Shang Qing finally let go of his many thoughts and concerns. He burst out and fought like a trapped beast, even Zhong Yue and Chi Xue together couldn’t kill him so easily!
“Chi Xue, the empress will not let you…”
In the end, Shang Qing was still killed. Zhong Yue’s【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】struck his head and crushed his innate moon Yuan shen while Chi Xue’s silver hairpin thrust right through his heart.
Shang Qing’s skull was broken open and blood fountained out from the top of his head. A weird expression radiated across the dying man’s face, he was smirking as he said, “You still wouldn't be the next Western Mother Empress even if you killed all your competitors. You know why the empress gave me, Chi Qing, and everyone else the amnesty decree? Don’t you want to know why?”
Chi Xue’s heart immediately turned bitter and she said softly, “I … don’t want to know.”
She clenched on the hairpin and raised it up, killing Shang Qing in mid-air while she then spurted out a mouth of blood as well.
She was also suffering from heavy injuries, but she has been suppressing them all so fought until the last second. With their biggest enemy taken down now, she couldn’t endure anymore and nearly fell from the sky.
Zhong Yue also forcibly suppressed the blood that was rushing out from his throat. The battles had also inflicted damage on him.
Su Domi had already escaped from the rocky planet when they were battling. He rushed out and disappeared in the starry space.
Kua Fuding was also nowhere to be seen now. Zhong Yue then glanced around, he saw a cultivator falling down from the sky, it was Que Yan’er, and she was still alive!
Zhong Yue attempted to rush over and kill her but was stopped by the sudden outbreak of his injuries. He quickly stopped and suppressed the injuries.
He found signs of the wounds worsening, the totem patterns were heavily impaired and they shuddered his body, nearly shattering his mortal body apart!
Whereas on the other end of the battlefield, there was also a demon lady, Fu Tixiang, lying on the ground without signs of her dead or alive.
“We need to move now!” Chi Xue’s injuries were heavy as well, she suppressed her wounds before scavenging Shang Qing’s Yuan Shen secret realms, “We can’t stay here long. The gods will come sooner or later. We must leave before they arrive. Let’s go to the Kun Lun moons for now!”
Zhong Yue nodded, but before he left, he raised his hand and slammed down to the ground.
Krong——
Five loud sounds could be heard as five mountains plummeted from the sky and crashed onto Fu Tixiang.
Meanwhile, the divine third eye emerged on his forehead and a godly ray shot out at Que Yan’er. Suddenly, Zhong Yue muffled a groan and blood spurted out from his mouth as a wave of dizziness struck him.
The godly ray shot out at the young lady who twisted her body as soon as she saw the incoming danger. But despite her effort, the godly ray still struck through her body and she crashed into the ground.
As for whether or not she was killed by the strike, not even Zhong Yue was sure.
After all, his injuries were too severe, and the godly ray wasn’t as strong as before.
Peng Qianqiu escaped…
Zhong Yue was panting for breath, he glanced around and couldn't find any sign of Peng Qianqiu. He frowned and then left with Chi Xue.
He had killed way too many experts, this would surely cause a wave of commotion, and whether it was Kun Lun or A’thoer, the news would cause both realms tremble.
There were nearly seven thousand Qi Practitioners that had entered the Returning Ruins, but only a handful of them survived.
Su Domi was still alive but he has went out to the endless space, there wasn’t a guarantee he would live.
Other than him, there was also Peng Qianqiu, Kua Fuding, Zhong Yue, Chi Xue and the missing Tian Wu cultivator. They all totaled up to fewer than ten in number.
Zhong Yue and Chi Xue held one another up, they flew in the space toward the direction of Kun Lun.
Soon, they saw a lone star floating in the endless space, the two of them instantly surged their arcane energy and pushed the little star toward Kun Lun.
When the star’s speed had reached its limit, the two of them then quickly landed on the star and allowed it to carry them toward Kun Lun. But these actions caused her injuries to flare, making them both spurt out a mouthful of blood.
Zhong Yue and Chi Xue then sat down quietly, taking out the divine herbs to treat their wounds.
The two of them remained silent while doing so.
After a long time, Zhong Yue finally brought his injuries under control, and he opened his eyes. Immediately, the scene of a young lady sitting on a huge rock with her legs tucked in and her arms curled around her knees came into his eyes.
“Princess Chi Xue, how are your wounds?” Zhong Yue stood up and walked toward her.
The young lady then quickly wiped away her tears, and she raised her head up with a smile on her face. She said, “They aren’t worsening anymore, but it’ll still take some time to fully recover.”
“You cried,” Zhong Yue sat down and remarked.
To Zhong Yue, Chi Xue was a warm and energetic young girl with a stubborn will. It l didn't in character of her to reveal her gentler side.
The Western Mother Empire was a matriarchal empire. With Chi Xue being the most prominent heiress in such an environment, it was odd to see her cry.
Chi Xue then saw his eyes, and the emotions she had been suppressing came flooding out again as tears rolled down her cheeks. She then buried her head into Zhong Yue’s chest and cried out loud.
“Why… why didn’t she like me… I’ve worked so hard ever since I was a child, I wished so much for her to just caress my head, to feel her love and warmth… I’ve done so many things, I’ve been through so much … none of it was for the throne, I just wanted her acknowledgement! But why… she still didn’t liked me… Chi Qing, Chi Yu’er, Chi Yun’er, and even Shang Qing has her amnesty decree! What am I lacking that they're not…?”
The young lady’s emotions poured out, she cried so hard that her body was shivering and her tears soaked Zhong Yue’s clothes.
Zhong Yue kept silent, he hugged the young lady in his arms and had no idea what to do to comfort her. Suddenly, the young lady in his arms raised her head up and kissed his lips. She curled her arms around his body and held it tightly as if she was just a helpless little girl who was drowning.
Zhong Yue’s mind went blank, his immediate reaction was to respond to her actions, and the young lady continued by tearing his clothes off. She pushed him down to the ground and began to ride him.
Moments later, the little star started shuddering violently and was shattered into pieces.
“Not that hard!” The young man of the Zhong Shan Clan implored.
