Chapter 503: 503: Requirements for Entry
Shen Jueyang’s hatred slowly faded when the Moon Goddess was mentioned. His aura still continues to spread in the area injuring and killing anything on his path. When he turned around he saw a group of Huashen Cultivators trying to get on the ground and not far from him, he saw the pale face of Yue Xuexia who is protecting the trembling children behind her, her arms and body covered in blood and burn marks from his aura.
He saw another heat wave from his aura about to hit them when suddenly Yue Xuexia activates her domain and once again forcibly uses her Celestial Form. However, it’s completely different from the one when the Laws of the Heaven had lent her their powers. This is her power alone pushed to the utmost limit.
Under his gaze, Yue Xuexia’s hair turned white when the Moon Domain had descended and slowly a bloody eclipse was happening in the world which was split into both day and night. Under this crimson moon, Yue Xuexia’s white hair turns deep red.
"Fourth Moon Phase: Blood Crescent Moon!" The Moon Goddess murmured.
A Moon severing slash red in color flew towards the Sun Domain above the Immortal Sun Emperor and was cut into half. Even though Shen Jueyang didn’t block the attack intentionally, for his domain to be cut, it shows how powerful Yue Xuexia’s Moon Domain is at this moment. This is something the former Moon Empress had never used. This a deadly attack that can kill even the most powerful gods. An attack that can destroy a God’s Domain.
Once the sun in Shen Jueyang’s domain was cut into half, his aura lessened quite a lot. In this attack, Yue Xuexia only targeted the domain and not Shen Jueyang itself, this move didn’t harm the owner of the domain at all.
However, this move is no different than using one’s ability beyond her current level and as expected, she puked blood midair and her domain broke apart. Yue Xuexia covered in her own blood fainted and was falling from the sky to the ground. Seeing this scene everyone panics and reaches out their hands trying to catch her.
The Supreme Elder of the Starfield Sect, Xia Lianyu panicked. "XUE’ER!!!"
At this call, Shen Jeuyang woke up and immediately moved as if teleporting, gently cradling Yue Xuexia covered in blood in his embrace. The feeling of her body cooling made him recall the time the Moon Empress was willing to block his enemies with her own life. Seeing all that blood covering him made Shen Jueyang question his action a few minutes ago. He acted foolish and forgot about the one person he vows to protect.
Xia Lianyu, who was worried that his granddaughter had longed to be scolded by Shen Jueyang, hit the back of his head.
"What the hell are you wasting time for? Heal her!" The Supreme Elder of the Starfield Sect, Xia Lianyu said.
Everyone was frightened by the actions Xia Lianyu had done and even his Shidi, the Sect Master of the Starfield Sect, Xing Kunlun pulled him away.
"S-Shixiong, don’t hit him," Xing Kunlun said.
Xia Lianyu watched as Shen Jueyang pulled a lot of things and cured his granddaughter. He retorted to his Shidi, "I can hit it since it’s his fault!"
Only upon seeing Yue Xuexia’s complexion return to normal that everyone sighed in relief. Shen Jueyang even used a cleansing spell on Yue Xuexia who slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the sleeping beauty awake everyone, especially the children, started crying and jumped on her.
Boohoo~
"Mommy~, are you alright?" Yue Huaxue said.
Xia Lianyu was startled, "Mommy? Is this my great granddaughter?"
"No. This is that Snow Lotus Flower Spirit who reached Yuanying realm and got her humanoid form," said Shen Jueyang as he put down Yue Xuexia who had tapped his arm with a calm expression.
Yue Xuexia comforted the toddlers and Qi Louya who was crying from fear just now.
"I’m alright. Don’t worry."
As the disciples of the Starfield Sect: Lan Guye, Xin Shiwu and Qi Louya were startled when they heard the supreme elder called Miss Yue his granddaughter.
Qi Louya asked in surprise, "Granddaughter?"
"She’s the Supreme Elder’s granddaughter!?" Exclaimed Xin Shiwu.
Lan Guye was not that surprised and mumbles, "No wonder she feels familiar. So it’s the Princess of the Crimson Temple."
She didn’t even look angry at what just happened just now and looked at the dark clouds looming over their heads. These are created by the laws of heaven in this little star and something she had a bit of control over at her current state.
"He won’t do it again. You can leave," said Yue Xuexia to the Heavenly Laws who didn’t even hesitate to leave under her command.
The dark clouds in the sky fades as if it had never been there. It seems the Heavenly Laws of this world are starting to listen to her requests now.
Those who were watching were stunned as they didn’t expect that to happen as for Yue Xuexia, she hit Shen Jueyang’s head without mercy and the man was feeling even guilty about it.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Suddenly losing your temper like that, are you a kid?" The Moon Goddess scolded the Sun God.
Shen Jueyang being scolded by Yue Xuexia for the first time can only kneel and lower his head. He is like a child that had done wrong making him feel bad for accidentally hurting her.
"Sorry, Xue’er. I didn’t mean to hurt you. It’s just... I just lost myself for a moment. Are you still in pain somewhere?" Shen Jueyang asked.
Yue Xuexia sighs and says, "Stand up. You’ve healed me well. So what’s wrong with that hidden dungeon for you to act like that? Though I had an inkling of what it is."
"A burial ground. Some of them are my former... subordinates," said Shen Jueyang.
As the former Immortal Sun Emperor and the ruler of the Immortal Sun Empire, he had a lot of friends who are also gods. Though they aren’t immortal gods like him, being a Godking is not a problem.
Yue Xuexia mumbles, "No wonder you react like that. I’ve checked with my divine consciousness before. They have left a wisp of their souls in there. You can come with me inside. But..."
She looked around and saw everyone Huashen Cultivator around and even her own grandfather.
She asked, "Gramps, where is Granny?"
"At the Starfield Sect, what’s wrong?" Xia Lianyu asked.
Yue Xuexia asked, "Call her over. There is something inside who is useful for her and for you as well."
Everyone was interested in what was inside that hidden dungeon and no one dares to enter under the presence of Shen Jueyang who can overwhelm all of them with aura in fear of angering him.
Xia Lianyu asked his granddaughter, "What’s inside?"
"Fallen Gods’ Legacy," answered Yue Xuexia.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden revelation. "A God’s Legacy?!!!"
After being shocked by what they had heard, they looked at Yue Xuexia as if understanding something. This kind of thing wasn’t something anyone can just share unless the requirements were harder to fulfill than they expected.
As expected, the Sect Master of the Starfield Sect asked, "Is there a requirement for one to enter the hidden dungeon, Xue’er?"
Yue Xuexia looked at him as if asking him why he is calling her name intimately. Only for her grandfather to introduce Xing Kunlun to his granddaughter.
Xia Lianyu said, "Xue’er, this is your granduncle. He is my Shidi from the same master you can call him Uncle Xing."
"Uncle Xing, nice to meet you," said Yue Xuexia as she greeted the senior politely regardless of her strength.
The hidden hermit and the humanoid dragon also descend to listen to the requirements the little girl was about to say. However, they didn’t dare to come closer after Shen Jueyang gave them a cold glance. They knew that they were being thickfaced coming over right now. After all, they didn’t even make a move to help the Moon Goddess just now and it didn’t escape the eyes of this dangerous man.
Xing Kunlun looked for something in his inventory and gave Yue Xuexia a star reading plate of at least Gold rank. It can be used to store formations and used as a medium for divination. So whenever Yue Xuexia used divination outside she would call a divine punishment for herself.
"Xue’er, take this. It’s Granduncle’s first meeting gift. I heard from your grandfather that you are good at making formations. You can store at least ten in this Star reading plate," the Sect Master of the Starfield Sect, Xing Kunlun said.
Yue Xuexia accepted the gift without question as it was a gift from the elder.
She said, "Granduncle and elders’ gift I will prepare for them when I visit the Starfield Sect."
"As for the requirements to enter, those who are at Huashen Realm can enter with restrictions. They cannot use their domains inside."
"Those with cultivation below the Yuanying Realm cannot enter. Those over 500 years old and still in the Yuanying realm cannot as well."
"Those who lowered their realm to enter and use someone else’s body will be killed on the spot."
"Those who failed the trial will also die."
"Also the one you need to defeat is an evil being before reaching the altar of legacy. Once you die your soul will be eaten by it."
"No possibility of reincarnation."
"These are the requirements for entering the Holy Grounds of the Fallen Gods. The risk to take is your choice," said the Moon Goddess.
