Chapter 1148: Empress of Slaughter

The killing Sword Intent contained in the red Little Sword made Ye Yun think of something from long, long ago...

In his mind.

In an instant, the silhouette of an incomparably beautiful woman surfaced.

Empress of Slaughter!

A hundred thousand years ago—

On the Cangnan Continent, a female Sword Dao powerhouse suddenly popped out from who-knows-where and almost swept the entire continent back then.

Even the Eternal Level Sects at that time had no way to deal with the Empress of Slaughter.

As the number one expert of the Cangnan Continent in the Eternal Realm, Ye Yun naturally ended up fighting a great battle against the Empress of Slaughter.

There was no suspense.

As the son of destiny, Ye Yun naturally won that battle.

Though the name "Empress of Slaughter" sounded terrifying, her temperament was outstanding, her looks were stunning, her skin like jade, her features exquisitely fine; compared to all of Ye Yun’s previous romantic confidantes, she still surpassed them by a point or two.

Looking at it now.

The appearance of this Empress of Slaughter was second only to that of the Empress Xuan Bing he had seen in the Mysterious Ice Cave.

"Both are ’empresses’, but their realms are worlds apart. The gap between the two empresses is just too huge..."

Thinking of that Empress Xuan Bing who had accidentally flashed him, Ye Yun raised his brows and couldn’t help but laugh.

The little Empress of Slaughter was only at the ninth layer of the Eternal Realm.

She had merely reached the ceiling of the Cangnan Continent.

Whereas Empress Xuan Bing came from the previous era and had survived until now, her strength comparable to the strongest God Emperor Level Powerful Person in the Divine Land.

The two couldn’t be compared at all.

Ye Yun gazed toward the Sea of Killings, his eyes flickering continuously, thoughtful.

Back then, Ye Yun personally suppressed the Empress of Slaughter, sealing her deep underground, and at the time there had even been a great mountain pressing down on the surface above.

The current location of the Sea of Killings was more or less the same point as where he had suppressed the Empress of Slaughter.

But that mountain had vanished.

For some unknown reason, the ground here had sunk and turned into a vast azure lake.

In the vicissitudes of a hundred thousand years, such a huge change had occurred.

Leaving Ye Yun somewhat full of emotion.

"The Seal is gone. Looks like the Empress of Slaughter has already broken free, leaving behind her Sword Intent here and forming this Sea of Killings..."

Ye Yun silently sensed for a while and found that the former Seal had long since disappeared without a trace.

He let out a light sigh.

If an old acquaintance was still around, then even if they had once been opponents on the battlefield, meeting again now would still feel more familiar than meeting a stranger.

Back then, the Empress of Slaughter had always been secretly in love with him.

It was just that Ye Yun didn’t like an old cow eating tender grass, so he rejected this woman again and again.

But this woman racked her brains, constantly pitting wits and courage against him, until she finally annoyed Ye Yun enough that he suppressed her here.

The Seal Ye Yun set back then wasn’t permanent.

He had left her a way to live.

Planning to someday let this fierce Empress of Slaughter back out.

He hadn’t expected the subsequent incident with the Mystical Space sign-ins; that delay had lasted a full hundred thousand years.

The current Empress of Slaughter had long since left the depths underground; no one knew where she had gone.

Ye Yun guessed that this woman was very likely in the Divine Land at this moment.

Judging by the Empress of Slaughter’s Sword Dao Talent, in the Divine Land right now she should at least be a Swordmaster at the Divine Sovereign Realm.

"Master, what’s wrong with you?"

Mu Qing came over from the side, poured Ye Yun another cup of tea and handed it to him, asking softly.

She noticed Master’s spirit was a bit absent-minded.

"It’s nothing."

Ye Yun smiled faintly, and the red Little Sword in his hand vanished in a flash.

The carriage continued forward.

Because the Ruyi Jade Spider had taken action and blocked all the Sword Intent, the other demon beasts weren’t subjected to any interference or influence.

"Hehe, this is actually my first time at the Sea of Killings. What an interesting spot..."

The Sky-boring Rat looked around, its eyes shifty as it spoke.

"You’re not even a Sword Cultivator. What are you doing here?"

The Big Black Cat shot it a glare, clearly annoyed.

"I heard there’s supposed to be a great tomb in this place..."

The Sky-boring Rat blinked.

"A great tomb?"

The Big Black Cat’s interest was instantly piqued.

"There is indeed. I’ve heard it from others in the trade too, but the Sword Qi in the Deep in the Killing Sea is far too terrifying; so far no one has managed to go deep."

The Big Black Dog added on from the side.

"A great tomb, huh..."

The Big Black Cat’s eyes rolled around, and it muttered to itself, "Is this heaven’s arrangement? Looks like today’s the day us three brothers revive our glory and team up to rob a tomb again!"

"Good grief, the moment you three shady bastards hear there’s a great tomb, you’re already gearing up to make a move?"

The Big Black Horse smacked its lips and said irritably.

"Just talking, just to exercise our mouths a bit...

Uncle Ma, don’t take it seriously! Master is still here—how could we possibly act on our own?"

The Big Black Cat scratched its head, smiling in embarrassment.

"Yeah, we’re just talking, not for real..." The Sky-boring Rat and the Big Black Dog also gave awkward smiles.

Their cultivation base was only a tiny bit higher than Cat Baby’s.

In front of the many senior demon beasts, they were basically stepping stones.

Hearing the three demon beasts’ conversation, Ye Yun’s heart gave a slight stir.

Could it be that after breaking free, the Empress of Slaughter actually died here instead?

Ye Yun found that a little hard to believe.

Given the Empress of Slaughter’s strength, once she broke through to the True God Realm, she would definitely be able to traverse the Ancient Road to Heaven and enter the Divine Land.

But the three demon beasts were speaking with such certainty, as if there was more to it.

Could it be that there really was a tomb hidden in the Deep in the Killing Sea?

This made Ye Yun somewhat suspicious.

"You three, go take a look at that great tomb."

Thinking of this, Ye Yun gave his order.

He wanted these three fellows to go ahead and scout the path.

"Master, the three of them have too weak a cultivation base. The Sword Intent in the Deep in the Killing Sea is rather terrifying; I’m afraid they won’t withstand it!"

The Immortal Divine Silkworm explained with a bitter smile.

"It’s fine. It’ll be a good chance to temper their Dao Hearts."

Ye Yun shook his head with a smile.

These three had always loved sneaking and pilfering, and their ability to run for their lives was off the charts.

In the Sea of Killings, even if they couldn’t successfully rob a tomb, finding the tomb’s location wouldn’t be a problem.

"Many thanks, Master!"

The Big Black Cat hurriedly raised its paw, rubbing its hands together in excitement, blood boiling.

It was finally time for the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat to take the stage again.

It hadn’t gone out to train for a long time, and it really missed that feeling.

And this time, with Master’s explicit command, it felt even more fearless.

As for that so-called terrifying Sword Intent, it didn’t take it to heart at all.

Master’s carriage was right here in the Sea of Killings.

If they really ran into some overwhelming terrifying power, Master would naturally make a move.

"Go."

Seeing the Big Black Cat looking all ready to go on a rampage, Ye Yun understood perfectly and waved his hand with a smile.

A gust of wild wind surged forth.

The Big Black Cat, the Big Black Dog, and the Sky-boring Rat, the three demon beasts, were swept up by the wind and vanished in an instant.

The Immortal Divine Silkworm stared at a certain place, and a look of shock suddenly appeared in its eyes.

Good grief.

Master had just casually waved his hand and directly sent those three little fellows into the Purple Sword Region.

The Sword Intent in that place was already exceedingly terrifying.

Even a cultivator in the Eternal Realm, if they weren’t a Sword Cultivator, probably wouldn’t last very long there.

Sure enough.

The three beasts appeared inside the Sea of Killings, and countless purple Little Swords suddenly manifested all around them.

"Run!"

The Big Black Cat’s body blurred as it transformed into human form, grabbing the Big Black Dog and the Sky-boring Rat without hesitation, then fiercely activated its Teleportation Boots and bolted off in a certain direction.

First priority: run for their lives.

While fleeing, it also summoned out the Black Gold Battle Armor.

This Black Gold Battle Armor was a top-grade Emperor Level piece; once worn, it would greatly boost its strength.

"Doggy, do you still remember where that great tomb is?"

The Big Black Cat asked as it fled.

"More or less. Cat Brother, head that way..."

The Big Black Dog stretched out a paw and pointed toward a certain direction in the lake.
