Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 647: The Black and White Pearls

"What a pity, this physical body is strong, but too ugly!" Ye Yu, newly transformed into the Ghost King, found it hard to accept this appearance and couldn't help but ponder.

His limbs and arms became wet, slippery, and viscous, with several startling tentacles growing around them.

With the mind in command, one of his tentacles moved, sending a terrifying Divine Skill deep into the ground.

Although he had become uglier, there was no doubt that he had also become stronger.

He came back to his senses and snorted coldly.

"Hmph, whatever, as long as the strength is powerful enough, what use is appearance? I am about to become the ruler of the entire Divine Wilderness Continent, so what if I abandon this physical body?"

Ye Yu felt another rush of excitement in his mind.

After a long while, Ye Yu, who had completely transformed into a member of the Ghost Race, finally calmed down. Just then, his soul swept over the entire arena and happened to see Hong Yuan glowing all over, rushing out from the passage of Mount Sumeru.

"Eh?!"

"Is that... the thing belonging to Mo Yu that this kid has obtained?"

Ye Yu was astonished.

The Ghost King, freshly formed, coupled with his original achievements as a Great Emperor, possessed the supreme soul. Now, he had even merged with the eight Ghost King Peaks, not a blade of grass nor a twig could escape his thoughts.

His soul felt a very familiar presence on Hong Yuan, something he had yearned for in his dreams since childhood after inadvertently learning a secret from his mother.

"Back then, I bore the notoriety of patricide and matricide, all to get this thing, but I never expected that Mo Yu would rather die than comply, and even her soul contained no trace of that thing.

I thought I would never have hope of obtaining it again, but who could have thought it was hidden in Mount Sumeru?"

Ye Yu muttered to himself, but then he let out an excited and sinister chuckle, "Regardless, it seems like the Heavenly Dao favors me, Ye Yu. Today, not only can I undergo a bloodline transformation, but I can also reclaim that thing!"

Having said that, Ye Yu leaped up, donned his robe, tore through the void in front of him, and stepped into it.

"Honorable master, to think we'd meet again so soon!"

Hong Yuan had mistaken Qinchuan for a Great Emperor powerhouse that day, and now seeing Qinchuan again, she approached with a lotus gait, her smile brimming as she spoke to him.

"Eh, big brother, you've met before?"

Ji Huo'er curiously looked at the two of them and exclaimed in surprise.

"Not only have we met, but I also have an unresolved connection with her master." Qinchuan said with a calm smile to Ji Huo'er.

He then surveyed Hong Yuan from top to bottom. Although she was hiding it well, she couldn't escape Qinchuan's Dharma Eye. She was in high spirits, clearly having gained something from Mount Sumeru.

"It seems you have found that thing in Mount Sumeru," Qinchuan said indifferently.

During their first encounter outside the Stone Forest, she had inadvertently mentioned looking for something there.

"I must thank the honorable master for your warning that day, or else I could have fallen into the trap set by the Spirit Dragon Holy Land."

Naturally, Hong Yuan was referring to the incident in the Stone Forest that day.

Just as Qinchuan was about to speak again, intending to probe what exactly it was that she was searching for—

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.

Just then, behind Hong Yuan, a great rift tore open in the void, flashing with black lightning within the spatial fissures. A disgusting, slimy tentacle emerged from the cracks in the void.

This hand of sin, as if reaching out from the abyss of the Underworld, was evil, terrifying, ugly, and shimmered with countless blood-colored glows.

The tentacle was extremely fast. In a flash, it wrapped around Hong Yuan completely and dragged her toward the rift.

This was a strike by a Great Emperor powerhouse, and there was no way for Hong Yuan to dodge or resist.

But in that instant, she also realized who the assailant was—it was none other than Ye Yu, the Great Emperor from the Spirit Dragon Holy Land.

She was terrified and watched helplessly as she was about to be dragged into the fissure of the Abyss. At the crucial moment, she suddenly shouted, "Please save me, Honorable One!"

"Hmph, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Qinchuan had actually sensed Ye Yu's attack long ago, but he also felt that Ye Yu's first target was surprisingly Hong Yuan, which caused him a moment's pause, so he didn't act rashly.

Only after hearing Hong Yuan's cry for help did his expression turn icy, and a Talisman Fire ignited at his fingertips. The fiery red flame continuously morphed until it became a sharp blade gleaming with a blood-red luster. This Flying Sword suddenly slashed towards that tentacle.

"Pff!"

The Flying Sword severed the tentacle, and a mix of white mucus and dark golden blood spurted out.

"Ahh—"

A shrill and furious roar emanated clearly from the spatial rift.

"You got that thing, and it drew the attention of the Great Emperor powerhouse of the Spirit Dragon Holy Land."

Qinchuan's eyes shimmered as he spoke.

Qinchuan had originally only intended to inquire what item she had obtained, but to his surprise, Hong Yuan misunderstood him completely.

At that moment, Hong Yuan thought Qinchuan was ready to take advantage of the situation.

Her thoughts flowed like water and she immediately continued, "Honorable One, please protect me at all costs. Once we're out of this place, we can enter that place together!"

As she spoke, Hong Yuan took out two fist-sized Jade Beads from her bosom.

One bead was white and the other was black, with the white Spiritual Pearl pure and flawless, while the black one emitted a metallic luster, clearly a matching pair.

Then, Hong Yuan handed the pure black bead, dark as iron, to Qinchuan.

In her heart, Hong Yuan thought that Great Emperor powerhouses were fickle in their moods; if Qinchuan were to become displeased, he might just toss her to Ye Yu. Hence, before Qinchuan could say much else, she willingly revealed everything.

"This is a pair of keys to open that place. Only by returning these two Spiritual Pearls at the same time will it open. I am willing to entrust this half of the Spiritual Pearl into the Honorable One's keeping."

Qinchuan was solemn.

So, this was a pair of keys to open a secret realm, no wonder Hong Yuan was so willing to hand over half of the Spiritual Pearl.

By doing this, she was completely binding herself with Qinchuan the Great Emperor, figuring that sharing with Qinchuan was far better than letting that ghostly creature have it.

Qinchuan's mind was sharp, and he instantly deduced the ins and outs of the entire series of events.

As it turned out.

Hong Yuan came here with the purpose of finding the keys to open a certain secret territory, namely this pair of Spiritual Pearls.

And this pair of keys was obviously related to Mo Yu, who had escaped from the Underworld years ago.

Over the years, besides Hong Yuan searching for them, Ye Yu, the Holy Master of the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, was also in pursuit.

At this moment, Qinchuan suddenly realized why the entire Spirit Dragon Holy Land had become such a mess—it was the result of Ye Yu digging thirty thousand feet underground in search of something.

"Intimately related to the Ghost Race, even immortals from the Divine Realm were drawn to it, wishing to enter—could this place be..."

However, when Mo Yu emerged from Golden Buddha Mountain, it was eighty thousand years ago, and both Mo Yu and Ye Xuan fell after Mo Yu escaped from the Underworld three thousand years later.

In those three thousand years, Mount Sumeru never once opened, and the two of them had no chance to hide the Spiritual Pearls in it. So, how did this pair of Spiritual Pearls enter Mount Sumeru?
