Chapter 921: Snitch

“What? Inheritors of the Great Necropolis? Who are they?” Empress Joyflower had been in seclusion recently and had no idea of this development .

“Some dramatic events unfolded in the Great Necropolis,” Leaf Dao-Denier said . “Profound Valor from the Profound Killing Dao Sect experienced a dramatic improvement in energy arts . He even fought a big battle with people from the future world and our Joyflower Palace . ”

He went on to explain all the details .

“The immortal worlds changed that dramatically?” She silently drew on her nascent divinity as if to observe certain matters, then said, “I see . Everything is changing . What exactly is this Great Necropolis doing? Despite hundreds of millions of years of research, I had no idea something like this would happen . I do know that some of the superpower sects have gone extremely deep into the Great Necropolis and acquired certain benefits . Perhaps they unlocked something . And perhaps I need to go kill the leaders of those sects . ”

“Empress, you are invincible and shall succeed in everything you do . You’ll definitely achieve Terrifying will and dominate everything under heaven . ”

“Leaf Dao-Denier, do you know why I picked you as my favored consort?” she asked . “Because you’re sensible . You might be ambitious, but you can see the bigger picture . You know that I’ll always be stronger than you, and that it would be foolish to rebel against me . Of course, I know about your minor plots and schemes to gain power, but I can tolerate such things . ”

“Empress, all I want to do is get a bit stronger . And I don’t hate anyone in life more than I hate Yang Qi . I used to have some of King Immortal-Slayer's legacy medallions, but he stole them from me . I also had a fragment of the Cruiser of Civilization, but he robbed me of that as well . There are other things he took from me, too . He’s my archenemy, and that's something I’ll never be able to forget . I won’t rest until I personally kill him!”

“I understand . Very well, let’s see what this Yang Qi placed inside of you . ” She waved her hand, causing Leaf Dao-Denier to fly over and land on the palm of her hand . Then she sent immense force pouring into him, which immediately locked onto the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth . In the blink of an eye, she extracted it, causing it to transform into the shape of a godmammoth that was standing on a roiling black cloud of hells .

“So, this is the top technique of the god world,” she said with a smile . “The Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth . Ah, Proud Heaven . I can only imagine how much true energy you wasted giving this to your son . Is he really that important to you? I'm curious to see what he looks like . ”

With that, her eyes flashed and she continued probing Leaf Dao-Denier .

A moment later, her expression became serious, and something else flew out of Leaf Dao-Denier, which emitted a piercing shriek as soon as it was in the open .

Leaf Dao-Denier’s jaw dropped, as he had been completely unaware there was anything else in him .

Looking over, he saw the empress holding what looked like a fist-sized, unborn child . Half of it was pitch black, the other half was glowing with light, as if it were a cross between a heaven-god and a fiend-devil . Of course, it was none other than Yang Qi’s Heaven-God Hell-Exterminating Devil Embryo .

“Is this some sort of devil embryo? Does it have the energy of the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth? No, it doesn’t seem so . . . . ” The empress frowned . “Proud Heaven explained the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth to me once, including all of its various energy arts states, and I don’t remember anything like this . Don’t tell me he finally succeeded in defeating the successor in the Primeval Age . Could he possibly have acquired a second God Legion Seal? Did he finally acquire more of the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth? What a terrifying thought . ”

Meanwhile, Leaf Dao-Denier clenched his hands into fists and shouted, “Arrrgh! How? How did he put something like that in me? And how could I not have been aware of it? What is it? A devil embryo? I can’t believe he put a devil embryo inside me! Disgusting!”

“Yes, it’s a devil embryo . And it was put in you without your knowledge . It allowed him to absorb any energy arts you used while it was in you, and also spy on your every word and action . Thankfully, you told me the truth, otherwise he could have used this to exercise complete control over you for the rest of your life . Later, when you ceased being valuable, he could activate the full power of the thing to devour your soul, quintessence energy, flesh, and blood . You would have become part of Yang Qi . Very powerful . This kid gets more and more interesting the more I learn about him . ”

**

‘Not good!’ Yang Qi thought .

He was just now getting the sense of what was happening . Thankfully, he had recently conquered over nine hundred million knowledge-devils, pushing his nascent divinity to a much higher level . “She knows about my devil embryo . Thankfully, I still have a way to reach out to it! Devil Embryo Connection; Eternal Path!”

RUMBLE!

He flicked his sleeve, gathering up all of the sect leaders . “We have a problem, everyone . Leaf Dao-Denier has betrayed us . We're all in grave danger, but as you know, rewards come only with risk . I’ve created a new spatial nexus that we can go through right now . Let's launch the attack on Empress Joyflower immediately!”

Yang Qi would never trust anything Leaf Dao-Denier had laid his hands on, including the command medallion . Therefore, he was using the devil embryo as the nexus, and was drawing on the powers of the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart to lock on to the empress’ position .

There was no way Leaf Dao-Denier could have predicted that he would do this .

Even if Leaf Dao-Denier went all out, there was no way he could catch up to Yang Qi when it came to plots and schemes .

Although some of the sect leaders resisted, they all suddenly felt their vision grow dark for a moment . Then, they found themselves facing Leaf Dao-Denier and a young woman in bright red clothing .

Everyone knew who she was . Empress Joyflower . And the location they were in was the most secure dimension in the Joyflower Palace, a place she normally reserved for her private sessions of cultivation .

At that moment, the sect leaders realized that Yang Qi had not deceived them . Considering that all of them had been rivals of Empress Joyflower for hundreds of millions of years, they were all very familiar with her aura .

Thump . Swish . Rustle .

The sect leaders instantly unleashed the spell formations they had planned for this moment, which swept out to cover the empress and Leaf Dao-Denier .

At the same time, a weapon appeared in Battle Resister’s hand, an enormous, pitch-black cudgel, covered with protrusions made from magical symbols .

“Heaven-Quaking God Cudgel!”

Moments before, Leaf Dao-Denier had been cursing Yang Qi and his devil embryo, and in his desire to kill him, he had been trying to convince Empress Joyflower to move against him .

But then the devil embryo had suddenly trembled and Yang Qi and all of his allies popped out into the open .

It was almost like a nightmare .

“You! Yang Qi! What are you doing here!? That medallion was supposed to trap you in a deadly dimension!” Although Leaf Dao-Denier was nearly hysterical, when he looked over and saw how calm Empress Joyflower was, he regained control of himself .

“So, you really did betray us, Leaf Dao-Denier,” Battle Resister said . “In the end, you’re nothing but a snitch . Aren’t you worried about the ramifications of your oath?”

Leaf Dao-Denier burst into maniacal laughter . “That oath was a complete sham . I never swear oaths . By the way, it's good you’re here . Empress Joyflower is going to slaughter all of you! I can’t believe you infected me with a devil embryo, Yang Qi! How vicious and wicked!”

Ignoring Leaf Dao-Denier’s ravings, Yang Qi looked at the empress in her bright red clothing that made her look like an evil ghost . Unexpectedly, she radiated the sorrowful aura of the Passionless God-King, making it seem like she was his reincarnation . “Greetings, Empress Joyflower . So, we meet at last . I'm quite impressed by your Joyflower Palace . You really dominate the Ancient Road to the Gods, winning victories at every turn as you seek to conquer all existence . ”

“You’re Proud Heaven’s son?” the empress said, her eyes as cold as ice . “Apparently you inherited some of his vicious nature . You’ll stoop to anything to achieve your goals, won’t you, you—”

“Shut it,” Yang Qi interrupted . “I'm no son of Proud Heaven . He doesn’t deserve to be my father . I'm a Fateless One, Empress Joyflower . Didn’t you realize that? Proud Heaven is after me, hoping to get something that I possess . But in the end, I’m going to kill him . ”

“What?” Empress Joyflower blurted in fury . Then, a moment later, the term Fateless One registered and her expression slightly softened . Examining Yang Qi, she said, “So, you're a Fateless One . In that case, I suppose you actually aren’t Proud Heaven’s son . Fateless Ones have no true parents and reign supreme among the three thousand special constitutions . So does that mean . . . your ‘energy arts’ are yours alone? Do you have . . .  that thing on you?”

She nearly spoke the words ‘Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth’ and ‘God Legion Seal’, but managed to hold her tongue . When she finished speaking, she looked at Yang Qi with glittering eyes . Clearly, she intended to take those things if he had them .

‘Dammit!’ Leaf Dao-Denier cursed inwardly . Unfortunately, the situation had already developed beyond his control . All he could do now was sit back and watch Empress Joyflower fight her enemies .

“For now, let's forget about what I have or don’t have,” Yang Qi said . From Empress Joyflower’s tone of voice when she mentioned Proud Heaven’s name, it was obvious that she deeply hated him . “We’ve come here today to kill you . Your people stole my Dao Defense League, and tricked me into becoming a mere prisoner . The time has come to settle accounts . ”
