boom

The dragon roared, dragging the imperial carriage and slamming it violently onto the island, causing the entire floating island to tremble violently.

"Who dares to trespass into my temple? Where are the heavenly soldiers and generals? Stop them for me!"

An angry voice echoed from the sky.

Within the temple, a powerful aura suddenly rose, spanning the heavens and earth, causing the surrounding space to distort.

A tall, handsome young man in golden armor flew out of the main hall, holding a three-pointed double-edged sword and pointing it at Ye Qingge's imperial carriage. Behind him, tens of thousands of demon soldiers and generals flew out, all of whom were at least at the Refining Void and Merging Dao realm, and they firmly surrounded Ye Qingge's imperial carriage.

Many of the maids and guards in the imperial carriage sensed the scene outside and their expressions changed as they gripped their magical artifacts tightly.

The maids and guards who entered the Empress's carriage were all at the Dao Realm level, including many experts at the second or even third level of the Dao Realm. However, the Empress's carriage only had a couple hundred maids and guards in total, while the enemy numbered no less than tens of thousands, including countless experts. Their aura filled the air with a murderous atmosphere.

At her peak, the Empress was not afraid of these things, but now she is seriously injured. If not handled properly, there is a risk of total annihilation!

In that moment of crisis, Ye Qingge's aura emanated from the imperial carriage, and her clear, cold voice rang out: "Third Prince, do you know that your great calamity is about to befall you!"

"Yang Zhao of the Kaihuang era?"

The Third Prince narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura: "What do you mean by that? This is the territory of the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Court. You have recklessly trespassed and damaged my temple. Do you intend to make an enemy of the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Court?"

Ye Qingge said calmly, "Of course not, I'm here to save you."

"help me?"

The Third Prince asked with a playful tone, "I wonder what crisis I'm in that requires your help? And how can you prove that this crisis wasn't orchestrated by you?"

"The specific crisis will soon be clear to the Third Prince. As for proof..."

Ye Qingge suddenly stopped speaking and switched to telepathy, saying, "Even without my intervention, the Third Prince won't live much longer. So why should I take such a risk to create a crisis to harm the Third Prince?"

The Third Prince's eyes immediately sharpened, and his aura rapidly increased, pressing down on Ye Qingge's imperial carriage like a tidal wave: "What do you mean by that?"

Ye Qingge smiled and said, "I'm sure the Third Prince knows why we moved here."

The Third Prince's expression shifted between light and dark as he fell into deep thought, his aura fluctuating as if he might erupt at any moment.

The maids and guards on the imperial carriage were filled with doubt and suspicion, and they gripped their magical artifacts tightly.

Even the Empress's emotions fluctuated. Ye Qingge could vaguely sense the Empress's emotions within her, a mixture of wariness and apprehension. However, she did not immediately voice her doubts.

After what happened with Xiao Xuan, the Empress's aversion to Ye Qingge lessened considerably.

Only Ye Qingge remained calm.

A faint smile played on her lips as she explained in her mind, "Among the ten princes of the Eastern Emperor, the eldest, third, and seventh princes are the strongest and most powerful. Although they hold the title of prince, they do not have the real power. In the real struggle for the title of prince, the third prince lost out and was assigned here."

"The apparent internal power struggle is actually due to an accident in the body of the Third Prince Kong An, who has been targeted by someone who has laid a trap. He will soon be in danger of falling. However, we must not let our rivals know about this."

"He came here to the Temple of the Medicine God, to secretly seek help from the Medicine God."

Through the system, Ye Qingge would obviously have to deal with the Empress quite often in the future, and she didn't mind providing necessary explanations to get closer to the Empress.

The Empress seemed to be deep in thought, and said, "But even so, your words are not convincing enough. How can you expect him to help you break the formation?"

Ye Qingge laughed and said, "Because he had no choice!"

The moment that thought crossed his mind, the surrounding space suddenly changed.

The once dark sky suddenly brightened, and a vast amount of Dao fire spread out from the void, transforming into a gigantic Vermilion Bird in the sky, blotting out the sun and completely enveloping the vast sky, making it almost impossible to see the edge.

It let out a loud phoenix cry, opened its mouth and spat out endless Dao fire, which swept over like a storm, completely engulfing Ye Qingge's carriage and Kong An's temple.

Chapter 4 Controlling the Sparrow and Capturing the Dragon

"The Heaven and Earth Annihilation Formation has been activated... Is this what Qing meant when he said that the Third Prince had no choice?"

The Empress suddenly realized that Ye Qingge had never intended to win over the Third Prince through words from the very beginning.

The Third Prince's temple is the biggest flaw in the Heaven and Earth Killing Array set up by the Hongmeng Heavenly Court. Originally, the Heaven and Earth Killing Array would only be activated when the imperial carriage reached the central killing zone.

However, Ye Qingge forcefully crashed into the Third Prince's temple. Her previous position had been calculated, and she broke through the key array node that isolated the Third Prince's temple from the array.

After Ye Qingge broke through, the Third Prince's temple was no longer outside the array's protection, and the Third Prince had no way to hide!

Not only here, but also at the distant edge of the Heavenly Secrets, the roars of dragons, the hissing of black turtles, and even the earth-shaking roars of tigers echoed through the void, causing the void to tremble.

Above the sky, the starry sky that had been obscured by rain was finally revealed. The twenty-eight constellations and countless stars twinkled in the sky. On each star, it seemed that a deity stood. At the highest point, a phantom figure that ruled the sky appeared, and the entire sky rippled with the movement of this figure.

Divine figures also stood tall on the earth, mobilizing the power of mountains and rivers to cover the entire area.

A chilling aura filled the air, and the Third Prince's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Four Divine Beasts, the Five Great Emperors... a decisive battle between heaven and earth, truly a formidable technique!"

"Even the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Court cannot set up such a formation, let alone the Empress's human race, so only the Hongmeng Heavenly Court is left."

"You... have crossed the line!"

"Form ranks and protect the temple!"

He let out a low shout, and with a slash of his three-pointed double-edged sword, the enormous sea of ​​Dao Fire was instantly split in two. The heavenly soldiers and generals behind him quickly formed a defensive formation, their spiritual energy surging and transforming into golden halos that enveloped the entire temple.

Within the imperial carriage, beams of light from array formations flickered, protecting the interior.

The main power of the Dao Fire had been dissipated by the Third Prince, and the remaining Dao Fire was not very powerful, so it quickly spread.

The Third Prince took a deep breath and said, "The cooperation is established. I wonder if Your Majesty has any way to break this formation?"

Ye Qingge calmly said, "Cover me up to the top of the Vermilion Bird. Then just follow my instructions!"

The Third Prince narrowed his eyes slightly, responded, and after instructing the heavenly soldiers and generals to guard the temple, he came to the side of Ye Qingge's imperial carriage. His aura was refined and powerful, and he kept a close eye on the carriage's movements, clearly still wary of Ye Qingge.

Ye Qingge smiled slightly and began to direct the maids and guards inside the imperial carriage.

A series of array lights illuminated the entire imperial carriage, and the enormous carriage immediately sprang into action, heading towards the head of the Vermilion Bird.

The Vermilion Bird seemed to be enraged. It spread its wings, and the temperature of the entire area rose at a visible speed. The sky suddenly trembled, and large fireballs rained down from the sky, heading towards Ye Qingge's carriage.

"The imperial carriage will move 300 meters to the left... Third Prince, the fireball 3 kilometers to the right, shatter it!"

"The imperial carriage descends five hundred meters... Third Prince, clear the way!"

"The imperial carriage..."

Commands emanated from Ye Qingge's soul, each one perfectly timed, as if she foresaw all of Zhuque's actions.

Three kilometers to the right, a fireball containing the power to annihilate the entire imperial carriage was shattered by the Third Prince's thrust before it even reached the carriage. As the carriage shifted to the left, it perfectly dodged most of the fireballs' impact; the remaining fireballs couldn't even cause the carriage's defensive shield to tremble slightly.

The next moment, the imperial carriage suddenly stopped its ascent and descended five hundred meters. The Third Prince slashed with his sword, instantly splitting the sea of ​​Dao Fire contained within the space.

The prince charged ahead, followed closely by the imperial carriage, with countless flames on either side, transforming into a vast sea of ​​fire that descended to the ground.

Every command was perfectly timed, and in just a few minutes, they soared through the air to reach the Vermilion Bird.

The Vermilion Bird was both shocked and furious. Ye Qingge had triggered a flaw in the formation, and it was unable to move away for the time being, so it could only watch helplessly as Ye Qingge arrived.

at this time

Several new stars slowly coalesced in the sky, their starlight bursting forth with terrifying divine light. Some had human heads and snake bodies, others had tiger heads and ox tails... One after another, divine beings, wielding divine weapons, descended with terrifying power, filling the vast sky with overwhelming force, making people tremble.

The Vermilion Bird suddenly spread its wings, unleashing the full power of the Dao Fire in the entire area without reservation, preparing to join forces with the deities descending from the stars to annihilate the imperial carriage and temple below in one fell swoop.

Just then, the curtain of the imperial carriage was suddenly pulled open, and Ye Qingge appeared at the entrance of the carriage.

While directing the maids and guards in the Third Prince's carriage, Ye Qingge was not idle either. At this moment, the divine power within her body had gathered to its limit, and she suddenly flew upwards, breaking through the air.

Between the imperial carriage and the Vermilion Bird, the figure of the Third Prince stood tall, but at this moment his face was full of solemnity, and his body was completely soaked in cold sweat.

Above the sky, the Vermilion Bird's figure blotted out the sun, stretching for nearly a hundred kilometers. Behind the Vermilion Bird, divine beings transformed from stars descended to earth, their terrifying aura suppressing heaven and earth. Although it was not the complete version of the Heaven and Earth Annihilation Formation, the power it exuded was enough to make the Third Prince, who was at the fourth level of the Dao Realm, tremble.

Just then, Ye Qingge's figure drifted past his left shoulder and headed towards the head of the Vermilion Bird.

His height of about 1.65 meters is completely disproportionate to the two-meter-tall human form of the Third Prince, and he is extremely small compared to the nearly 100-kilometer-long body of the Vermilion Bird of Fire.

Above them were divine beings formed from the Vermilion Bird and stars, and below them was Ye Qingge's petite figure in imperial robes. Despite their vastly different statures, they gave off a peculiar feeling of heaven and earth colliding.

The scene seemed to freeze in time.

The next moment, Ye Qingge drew his sword and slashed forward.

The full power of the sword erupted, the Great Dao merging into the seemingly ordinary Xiujian sword, actually severing the head of the Vermilion Bird. With his other hand, he took out the Soul-Capturing Bell, and the divine power he had prepared beforehand rushed into it without reservation.

Jingle Bell……

A crisp sound resounded through the void, causing the Dao Fire that formed the Vermilion Bird to surge violently. At its center, a wisp of the Vermilion Bird's divine soul was drawn out by the Soul-Capturing Bell and drifted toward the Soul-Capturing Bell in Ye Qingge's hand.

Just as the soul was about to be absorbed by the Soul-Seizing Bell, Ye Qingge suddenly made a move, placing a mark on the Vermilion Bird's soul and throwing it back into the Dao Fire Vermilion Bird before retreating.

The Third Prince was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, why not directly destroy the Vermilion Bird's Dao Fire, which is drawn by its divine soul? How can we break the formation that way?"

"This Heaven and Earth Annihilation Formation is different from the one used to kill the God-Demon Emperor. The one used to kill the God-Demon Emperor was the complete version, and only by breaking all the phantoms could the formation be broken. But this one is different."

Ye Qingge stepped into the imperial carriage and said calmly, "By destroying the phantoms of the three key points at once, the formation will collapse. But if they are destroyed one by one, the formation will recalculate and recover in no time. At most, the formation's power will be reduced, but it will not be broken."

"There's no time to lose. The Vermilion Bird's troubles are temporarily resolved, but the phantom of the Star God and Demon is still there. Let's leave this place quickly and head to where the Azure Dragon's phantom is!"

The Third Prince seemed to be deep in thought, a hint of respect in his eyes: "I see."

He hesitated for a moment, then followed Ye Qingge's carriage, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Ye Qingge's performance did indeed earn his respect, but that didn't mean he would lower his guard.

After giving a few instructions to the heavenly soldiers and generals behind him, he followed Ye Qingge towards the location of the Azure Dragon phantom.

What he didn't know was...

As soon as Ye Qingge returned to her bedroom, her face turned deathly pale, and her aura rapidly diminished, showing signs of returning to her previous near-death state.

"Your Majesty, your body is still too weak."

She sighed and slowly began to regulate her breathing.

This seemingly simple action is actually like walking a tightrope.

She exploited a major flaw in the Third Prince's Temple formation, activating it under abnormal circumstances. This caused the formation's power to erupt for an extended period. Otherwise, the formation's power would have been fully activated in less than a second, and with the Empress's body, she would have been doomed!

Even so, she doesn't have much time left. The star gods and demons above the Vermilion Bird will only delay their arrival by four or five minutes at most before they descend completely.

If the Vermilion Bird cannot be subdued within this timeframe, it will be a certain death.

The Empress's tone was slightly awkward: "I... will be careful."

Since becoming the leader of the human race, few people have spoken to her like that, which made Yang Zhao feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Ye Qingge shook her head and closed her eyes to ease her injuries.
