Chapter 677: Chapter 677: The Empress’s Invitation, Eight Elemental Empress (Three More)
“Divine Sea Dragon Empress, what do you mean by this?”
The other seven mysterious powerhouses all opened their eyes. Their auras were concealed yet powerful; astonishingly, they were all Heavenly Emperors!
They turned their heads simultaneously to look at the Divine Sea Dragon Empress.
In their eyes was full of surprise.
The Divine Sea Dragon Empress raised her head and looked at the eight moon-colored halberds suspended above the eight tall towers. She spoke excitedly,
“Just now, the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd sent me good news, claiming that there are eight cultivators of the Divine Origin Realm nearby whose minds are in sync and who cultivate the power of moonlight and similar cultivation techniques. They are the most suitable successors.”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the seven Sea Clan Heavenly Emperors widened.
This place is the Eight Elemental Seas Clan.
Just as the Old Sea Turtle had said, the Eight Elemental Seas Clan possessed eight Heavenly Emperors, each controlling a moon-colored halberd. Combined, they formed the highly esteemed top-tier Spiritual Treasure, “Eight Elemental Sky Halberd.”
This Spiritual Treasure was quite special.
It consisted of a complete set of Spiritual Treasures, totaling eight identical halberds. Even a single one taken out was among the supreme grade of top-notch Spiritual Treasures.
When combined, they could slay top-tier Heavenly Emperors!
Even a One-Turn Quasi-Saint could have a try.
Unfortunately, only by finding eight people with minds in harmony could they perfectly wield the power of the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd.
The Eight Elemental Sky Halberd had boundless potential. If the most perfect masters could be found for them, they could transform along with the growth of their masters, possessing the potential to become Sacred Arms.
“Are… Are you serious?”
After hearing the Divine Sea Dragon Empress’s words, the seven Heavenly Emperors, following a brief shock, all stood up and exclaimed in astonishment.
If there truly were eight people nearby as the Divine Sea Dragon Empress had mentioned, then once they joined the Eight Elemental Seas Clan, they would surely lead the entire clan to prosperity and strength.
“There’s no time to lose, let’s go find them!”
An elderly figure wearing a golden scaled robe with two horns on his head clenched his fists, ready to set out.
This person was none other than the “Dragon Emperor,” one of the eight emperors of the Eight Elemental Seas Clan.
“All eight of us emperors going together will surely be able to invite them over.”
Another elder, merely three feet tall with three long beards and carrying a golden turtle shell on his back, said.
This person was the “Turtle Emperor,” one of the eight emperors of the Eight Elemental Seas Clan.
“I alone can go there.”
The Divine Sea Dragon Empress waved her hand and took hold of one of the moon-colored halberds. Her aura instantly doubled in strength as she soared towards the distance.
Clad in a snow-white long dress, she was endowed with an aura of sanctity mixed with a valiant spirit due to the boost from the moon-colored halberd.
…
Divine Turtle Island.
Ever since Fox Da Hong and other Spiritual Beasts occupied this place, they had stayed nearby, sleeping until they woke naturally and feasting on fish to their heart’s content.
Whoosh!
A snow-white figure swept across the sky.
The Divine Sea Dragon Empress subconsciously glanced at Divine Turtle Island, sensing some familiar auras on it. But, eager to find the suitable individuals to wield the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd, she couldn’t be bothered by the distraction and flew straight past.
Nanyan City, Purple Bamboo Forest.
Eight figures of Ling Yue, seated cross-legged on the Nurturing Divine Jade Platform, had all the Moonlight Spirit Pearls around them absorbed, converting them into pure Cultivation Level strength.
“Haah!”
Their breaths were released simultaneously, their strength climbing with each breath.
“This Moonlight Spirit Pearl is indeed remarkable; it has allowed me to breakthrough all the way to the third layer of the Divine Origin Realm.”
“With the eight of us working together, we should not fear high-order Divine Origin Realm cultivators now,” Ling Yue murmured.
Suddenly, she felt something and looked ahead.
Under the Purple Bamboo Forest.
A stunning woman in a white dress, holding a moon-colored halberd, walked slowly over the dry bamboo leaves.
Thump! Thump!
Seeing the moon-colored halberd in the hands of the woman in the white dress, Ling Yue’s heart raced. It was as if she had seen her own destined Spiritual Treasure. The feeling of familiarity overwhelmed her, almost making her cry out in surprise.
“What is that…?”
All eight Ling Yues fixated on the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd, breathing faster, and instinctively walked towards it.
“This is the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd.”
“Countless years ago, there was a Moonlight Stone deep in the sea, filled with copious Moonlight Power.”
“Later, it developed will of its own, yet because it was innately too powerful, it was oppressed by the Power of Heaven and Earth and split into eight parts.”
“And then, each will commanded one-eighth of the Moonlight Stone, and after surviving countless Heavenly Tribulations, they turned into eight powerful Moon-Colored Halberds.”
“This is the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd.”
The Divine Sea Dragon Empress released her hand.
The Eight Elemental Sky Halberd automatically flew out, slowly rotating around the eight Ling Yues, as if assessing her.
Hum hum hum!
Suddenly, the halberd emitted an excited tremor as it approached one of the Ling Yues.
“It likes you very much,” the Divine Sea Dragon Empress observed Ling Yue, “Take it!”
“Why give it to me?” Ling Yue did not accept it.
The Divine Sea Dragon Empress explained:
“I come from the Eight Elemental Seas Clan, one of the eight emperors, guarding this halberd.”
“The Eight Elemental Sky Halberd is the treasure of the Eight Elemental Seas Clan.”
“Whoever can control the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd is our undisputed ruler,”
“And today, the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd has told me that it has found a person with eight connected consciousnesses, with an identical physical structure.”
“So, I found you.”
“Let’s speak frankly, I’d like you to join the Eight Elemental Seas Clan, take charge of the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd, make full use of the power of this supreme spiritual treasure, and lead our clan to prosperity.”
As she spoke, the Divine Sea Dragon Empress studied Ling Yue closely, her gaze intensifying, doubt visibly thickening on her face.
“Have we met before?”
The Divine Sea Dragon Empress had been to the vicinity of the Misty Sect and witnessed the appointed fight between Xiao Cangtian and Ye Feng.
And at that time, Ling Yue was in Whitefloat City.
Ling Yue examined the Divine Sea Dragon Empress and sighed lightly, “I didn’t think I would still be recognized. To tell the truth, I come from the Royal Capital of the Mystique Kingdom, I am the First Princess, Ling Yue.”
“The Mystique Kingdom! Then, do you know Sect Master Ye from the Misty Sect?” the Divine Sea Dragon Empress exclaimed in shock.
More than know each other?
I have an unrequited crush on Sect Master Ye!
Ling Yue complained in her heart.
A moment later, the eight Ling Yues simultaneously nodded slightly, “Yes, I am an acquaintance of Sect Master Ye.”
“As I suspected!” the Divine Sea Dragon Empress gasped.
If Ling Yue knew Ye Feng, then this matter couldn’t be rushed.
After all, Ling Yue was someone with backing behind her.
Remembering Ye Feng, the Divine Sea Dragon Empress’s eyes were filled with wariness, feeling a tremble in her heart at the thought of this Quasi-Saint level great power.
“So, First Princess Ling Yue, would you be willing to join our Eight Elemental Seas Clan, take charge of the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd, and become the supreme Empress?” the Divine Sea Dragon Empress enticed.
She could tell.
Ling Yue had cultivated some unique cultivation technique, splitting into eight identical selves—no wonder their intentions were interconnected.
And because she cultivated the Moonlight Power and happened to break through to the third layer of the Divine Origin Realm, she was sensed by the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd deep in the sea.
But no matter whether Ling Yue was naturally eight people or had cultivated a special technique, she was currently the most suitable person for the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd.
Ling Yue didn’t answer hastily.
However, she was already tempted.
Through her recent cultivation, Ling Yue had come to understand something.
To catch up with Ye Feng, mere hard training wasn’t enough; it would only increase the gap between them.
So, she needed to take shortcuts.
For instance, becoming the supreme Empress of the Eight Elemental Seas Clan!
“I am willing… but you can’t restrict my personal freedom, and also, my freedom to like someone.”
Ling Yue spoke in unison.
“Er…” The Divine Sea Dragon Empress was taken aback, thinking what a peculiar request that was—you’d be our Empress, who would dare to restrict such freedoms?
Though she felt like commenting, the Divine Sea Dragon Empress still nodded and said, “No problem at all.”
“Good!”
Ling Yue’s heart lifted as she slowly reached out and grasped the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd before her.
The next moment, a terrifying power surged forth instantly!
Ling Yue’s entire body shook, feeling as if she held sway over countless Sea Clans, uniting the deep-sea domains.
And from that moment on,
She became the Eight Elemental Empress!
