Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 606 The Giant Heart

"Ruins and seams?"

"No, there's no such deathly aura in the rift!"

Emperor Qi frowned. As a half-saint, he felt a sense of unease as he stared at the crack.

This is very abnormal!
How could such a thing exist beneath the ruined ancient formation?
"Could this crack connect to another dimension?"

Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, but still decided to investigate a little. Even if something unexpected happened, there were two emperors behind him to protect him.

Immediately, he cautiously approached the crack.

The next moment, a terrifying suction force came and almost instantly pulled his wisp of divine consciousness into it.

Through her divine sense, Qin Yu saw a pitch-black, empty space.

In this boundless abyss, the concepts of heaven and earth seem to have been completely erased, leaving only a deep, dark expanse, boundless and silent. The boundaries of time and space are blurred, as if in this chaos, all things return to nothingness, and even the essence of existence becomes hazy and indistinct.

Right at the very center of this void, a colossal object hangs alone—

It was an ancient and decaying heart.

It was as large as a mountain, its surface riddled with holes, and its dark blood vessels, like twisted dragons, were entwined around it, exuding an indescribable eerie aura.

In the void, one could vaguely see enormous chains piercing through the heart, binding it firmly to this nothingness.

Ancient demon-suppressing incantations were engraved on the chains, each rune shimmering with a faint golden light, somewhat similar to the golden light emanating from the skeletons found at the bottom of the pit. Both exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, inspiring awe.

"That's... a heart?!"

Qin Yu's eyes narrowed sharply, and her heart and soul trembled.

With just a glance using his divine sense, he felt as if his entire heart was about to be devoured by an invisible force, and a chilling feeling emanating from the depths of his soul suddenly surged up, causing him to tremble all over.

"Boom!"

Just then, the seemingly decaying heart suddenly began to beat, and countless jet-black death energies burst forth from its riddled wounds with each beat, transforming into a black mist that blotted out the sun and swept across the void.

This heartbeat, like a thunderclap, exploded in Qin Yu's mind, causing his primordial spirit to almost instantly collapse and disintegrate.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp, ear-piercing metallic clang rang out, and the nine chains shone with a dazzling golden light, as if they were trying to suppress it.

Qin Yu was shocked to find that the runes on one of the chains had faded and there were even tiny cracks on the chain itself.

And with each heartbeat, the crack is gradually widening.

At the same time, an extremely dangerous feeling welled up from the bottom of Qin Yu's heart, as if his primordial spirit was about to be corrupted.

"Boom!"

In just a few dozen breaths, the second heartbeat sounded.

Qin Yu's primordial spirit could no longer hold on and completely dissipated.

"call!"

In just a short while, Qin Yu felt as if she had experienced countless ages, and an extreme sense of weakness welled up within her.

Recalling the scene his primordial spirit had witnessed, a look of undisguised shock and fear appeared in his eyes.

"Om..."

Just as Qin Yu felt a chill run through her body, a glimmer of light suddenly welled up in her heart.

Unbeknownst to him, the Empress's hand gently landed on his shoulder, and a wisp of pure light-attribute primordial power entered his body.

"What did you see?"

Seeing Qin Yu gradually recover, the Empress asked.

She had seen Qin Yu in all sorts of ways, from respectful to unrestrained, but she had never seen him lose his composure like this before.

Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately told the Empress about the scene she had seen in that void.

"heart?"

"Could it be an ancient god or demon?"

Upon hearing this, the Empress's expression changed slightly. That stone slab was a spatial gap left by the ancient sages who exiled ancient gods and demons.

The cracks that appeared on it bore a striking resemblance to the cracks in the chains Qin Yu had seen. "Ancient gods and demons?"

Qin Yu's expression turned serious as she suddenly recalled the strange phenomenon of the divine bell in the sky above the capital when she first entered it.

In that scene, he seemed to see countless towering figures and terrifying creatures with earth-shattering power.

Are those the ancient gods and demons?

"You need not worry about this matter. I will inform the other emperors to discuss a solution."

The Empress pondered for a moment, then spoke.

According to Qin Yu, the seal has already loosened.

This matter is no small matter!

"Emperor Qi, I'm taking my leave now."

The Empress did not intend to linger. She gestured for Qin Yu to leave behind the ancient array seal, then bid farewell and took to the air.

Emperor Qi did not try to persuade her to stay. Although he wanted to cultivate a better relationship with Qin Yu, he understood what that meant, and his expression was solemn.

"Your Majesty, what is that void space?"

Standing behind the Empress, Qin Yu couldn't help but turn around and glance back, asking with a trembling heart.

"This world is not complete. Whether it is the Ruins Realm or the void space you see, they may be fragments of space after this world was shattered in the past."

The Empress casually offered an explanation.

Unseen by the two, the woman in plain clothes remained calm.

Even when she saw the crack in the stone slab, her face remained completely expressionless.

It seems that a crisis that even a half-saint would have to deal with seriously is nothing to her, and doesn't even catch her eye.

Time is like water.

The territory of the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom is within sight.

"His Majesty……"

Looking at the imposing figure in front of her, Qin Yu finally couldn't help but call out.

We're almost back, so why hasn't Her Majesty the Empress given any... instructions?

"explain."

The Empress's voice was cold and clear, filled with an inviolable majesty. She didn't turn her head or pause, as if she had already seen through Qin Yu's thoughts.

"I've expended a lot of energy and need to recover for a while. I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to take out the flying boat and rest for a bit?"

Qin Yu gritted her teeth and said, forcing herself to speak.

How long has this been going on?
His Daoist power of metal, lightning, and light attributes is increasing too slowly!

It's time to start training!
The Empress remained unmoved.

Ah!
Even a fool could guess what this guy was up to.

He actually tried to betray her again!

Moreover, Xiangrui is still in his personal space. At such a close distance, what if Xiangrui comes out and bumps into him?
"Your Majesty may not know, but in that void, my consciousness was almost corrupted..."

As Qin Yu spoke, her voice grew weak, and she appeared unsteady on her feet, utterly exhausted.

The Empress frowned slightly.

He's even panting?!
However, considering that although this guy's intentions were impure, he had been conscientious and responsible all the way, eliminating the hidden dangers in the three immortal kingdoms without ever frowning, and had never disobeyed her in the slightest, which made her very respected in front of the Chu Emperor and the Qi Emperor.

Of course, the most important thing is...

The Empress felt that the great battle had taken a heavy toll on her, causing damage to her Great Dao...

It's somewhat unstable.
