NOVEL NEXT Chapter 907: 889 Jiu Yin_1
"It must be inside the Divine Star," Chu Qin said, pointing at the fiery red sky and the cave, "Look at that, we must have fallen from there."
"Inside the Divine Star, there is actually a sea of magma," mused the Life Progenitor Emperor, somewhat perplexed.
"Look, is that a palace?" the Shennong Primordial Emperor exclaimed, pointing in a certain direction.
Everyone turned their gaze in that direction, and indeed, a majestic palace came into view.
The layout of this palace was different from that of ordinary palaces; in front of the palace, there were many statues on display.
The likeness of these statues somewhat resembled the demons from Western legends.
And the palace itself had a dark style, one that instantly gave the impression of a demon lord's abode at first glance.
It was as if it were the palace of a demon lord!
They arrived at the front of the palace, on which three characters were inscribed above.
Unfortunately, they were in an entirely new script that Chu Qin and the others could not recognize, identical to the ones on the pedestal below.
The grand doors of the palace were open, and they all entered without hesitation.
Inside, it also had a chilling atmosphere, with many recessed compartments on both sides of the hall, each containing a demon statue, akin to the Western Satan.
In the center were three colossal statues, each one towering a hundred meters high.
The figures portrayed in these statues were clad in armor and cloaks. The only thing that could be discerned was that the statues on either side were male, while the central figure was extremely seductive, seemingly female!
A female demon empress!
"Whose statues are these, and to whom does this palace belong?" Wang Qiu'er, puzzled, said, "Why would it be built inside the Divine Star?"
Chu Qin paid no mind to these statues; his attention was quickly drawn to what was in the hands of the female statue—a blue crystal orb.
"A Cosmic Energy Core!" Chu Qin immediately leapt up, attempting to take the blue crystal orb into his hands.
But in the next second, a white radiance burst forth from the crystal orb, and a white dragon's shadow appeared before them all.
This white dragon shadow was quite unique.
The shadow of the dragon was pure white tinged with a hint of pink, its body covered in magnificent hexagonal Dragon Scales. Most crucially, it had three dragon heads.
All six eyes were blood-red, filled with terrifying authority that made one dare not look directly at them.
"Such a familiar dragon shadow!" Upon seeing this three-headed dragon, both the Shennong Primordial Emperor and the Life Progenitor Emperor were taken aback.
Chu Qin's expression tightened as well, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"Who are you?" At that moment, the three-headed white dragon actually spoke in a human tongue, with a voice light and melodious. Just the sound of it was enough to brighten one's spirits.
"And who might you be?" Chu Qin asked calmly.
"I am called Jiu Yin, the demon empress of Wanmo Palace in the Infinite Heavens," the white dragon spoke, her voice still gentle and captivating.
"Wanmo Palace?" Everyone, including Chu Qin, was shocked; this was the first time they had heard this term.
"Wait, you are the Taiyin True Dragon!" At this, the Life Progenitor Emperor displayed a look of terror.
The Life Progenitor Emperor's words awakened everyone.
The Shennong Primordial Emperor, Emperor Yang Tian, and the Heavenly Saint Emperor all expressed their shock. Indeed, the likeness of Jiu Yin before them was exactly like that of the Taiyin True Dragon!
Chu Qin immediately recalled the Taiyin True Dragon summoned by Tao Wu in the Middle Ancient Great World, which was identical to Jiu Yin before him.
Only the color was different.
"You know of the Taiyin True Dragon!" Jiu Yin uttered unexpectedly.
"Aren't you the Taiyin True Dragon?" Chu Qin inquired.
Jiu Yin shook her head, "The Taiyin True Dragon is my evil side."
"What!"
"The evil side!"
The crowd, one after another, exclaimed in surprise.
"What do you mean?" Chu Qin asked in succession.
"Countless eons ago, my Wanmo Palace was defeated by the Outer Heavenly Lord." Jiu Yin replied, "My body was imprisoned, and my soul was banished into this Celestial Demon Realm. I cultivated for a long time in the Celestial Demon Realm, yet due to practicing the Demonic Arts, I descended into madness, and my soul was scattered. However, my malevolent thought, the Taiyin True Dragon, she escaped from my soul, cultivated a body, and vanished. You, have seen the Taiyin True Dragon!"
Chu Qin showed a trace of surprise.
It seemed that both Jiu Yin and Tai Yin were undoubtedly from the so-called Outer Universe.
"Well, it turns out that the Taiyin True Dragon was released by you!" Yang Tian roared furiously, "You are the culprit!"
"Ah?" Jiu Yin exclaimed in shock, "What is... going on?"
"Do you know that your malevolent thought, the Taiyin True Dragon, is now attempting to destroy our universe?" the Life Progenitor Emperor spoke.
"Ah, which universe are you from?" Jiu Yin asked.
"And where do you come from?" Chu Qin asked.
"The Infinite Heavens atop Mount Buzhou." Jiu Yin replied, "I was cast down below Mount Buzhou. Could it be that you are from the universe beneath Mount Buzhou?"
"Mount Buzhou?" Chu Qin said with some confusion.
"Yes," Jiu Yin replied, "It is said that atop Mount Buzhou, there exists an ancient universe. It seems that you're from the universe beneath it."
Chu Qin fell into a slight shock.
This was probably the first time he had learned about the affairs outside of the inner and Outer Universes.
"It turns out that our universe is not the only one," the Life Progenitor Emperor said with a sigh.
"I don't care about what's above or below Mount Buzhou." Yang Tian said angrily, "Jiu Yin, since you released the Taiyin True Dragon, then you better resolve this quickly, or I will resolve you!"
Yang Tian's anger was understandable. The malevolent side of Jiu Yin, the Taiyin True Dragon, had killed so many of his kin and fellow beings!
"I'm sorry, I can't." Jiu Yin sighed, "If I had a body, I might be able to suppress her. But I'm already dead, nothing but a void now."
"Then go die completely!" Yang Tian said, and directly attacked Jiu Yin with the Trifork Halberd.
However, his Trifork Halberd passed right through Jiu Yin's body without causing her any harm.
"I told you, I am already a void, your attacks on me are ineffective," Jiu Yin said.
"Jiu Yin, nevertheless, the Taiyin True Dragon was released by you, and she has killed countless people in our universe, do you have any way to resolve her?" Chu Qin asked.
With no other choice, Chu Qin wanted to take action too, but against nothingness, there was nothing he could do.
"I can help you. The calamity was caused by me, and I should bear it." Jiu Yin spoke, looking at Chu Qin and pointing to the crystal ball in the hands of the statue, "This is the Cosmic Energy Core of my Wanmo Palace, which can boost your Cultivation, and perhaps help you kill the Taiyin True Dragon."
"That's all the help I can offer you." Jiu Yin said, looking at Yang Tian and the others with an apologetic expression, "I'm truly sorry, but I really have no way to control her! The Outer Heavenly Lord imprisoned my physical body, and now that I'm but a shattered soul, you cannot harm me, nor can I do anything to you."
Although Yang Tian was furious, there was nothing he could do.
Chu Qin, meanwhile, took possession of the Cosmic Energy Core.
After all, it was what Jiu Yin owed them.
As for who would receive the Cosmic Energy Core, Chu Qin decided to let the Azure Dragon and the others decide.
"Hand over the Cosmic Energy Core." At that moment, a seductive yet imperious voice resonated from outside the hall.
The crowd immediately stepped out of the great hall.
Among those who came out was the void-like Jiu Yin.
The crowd saw more than a dozen figures in front of them, each emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
It was actually the Outer Domain Emperor.
Indeed, it was all the Outer Domain Emperors gathered here!
