# Chapter 1527: Fall of the Blue Pole Star (Part 2)
"In that case, Yue Shen Di, why have you come here?"
The speaker was none other than Long Huang. Though the words were brief, they carried an invisible pressure that instantly froze the surrounding space.
From them, the others could vaguely sense hostility.
Back then, the one who had brought Yun Che into the Long Shen Realm's Reincarnation Forbidden Land was Xia Qingyue!
If not for Xia Qingyue, Yun Che wouldn't even have known of Shen Xi's existence.
Xia Qingyue seemed not to notice the oppression in Long Huang's words, her gaze still fixed on that azure-blue star in her line of sight. She said flatly, "This king has two things that must be done. First, no matter what, Yun Che must be killed by this king's own hand. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll carry the stain of having once been a demon's wife for the rest of my life! If anyone dares to steal this from me, don't blame me for turning hostile!"
Yue Shen Di was undoubtedly the most inexperienced and youngest among all the Divine Emperors present, and also a woman. Every other Divine Emperor had hundreds or even thousands of times her age and experience. Her acquaintance with all the other Divine Emperors was also extremely shallow.
But she never seemed to have any awareness of this. Even with the First Divine Emperors of all three divine regions present, her posture and momentum still carried extreme authority, never showing the slightest hint of humility or restraint.
"Hahahaha," Nanming Shendi laughed loudly, looking at Xia Qingyue's silhouette with a deep gaze. "Yue Shen Di is truly persistent about this. With Yue Shen Di's prestige, even if you couldn't kill him yourself, who in this world would dare to make idle criticisms? If there really were such a person, this king wouldn't let them off before you even had to make a move."
Yesterday, when Xia Qingyue struck down at Yun Che with her sword, although Qianye Ying'er had caused an unexpected turn, everyone present was of such a caliber that they could clearly see how ruthless and decisive that strike was — she truly hadn't intended to leave even a single scrap of flesh for Yun Che.
"Whoever captures Yun Che can decide on his disposition," Long Huang said flatly. "If Yue Shen Di wishes to kill him with her own hands, that depends on her own ability!"
"Good!" Xia Qingyue lifted her head slightly. "This king is eager, but not unreasonable. Then let it be as Long Huang says — whoever captures Yun Che will be the one to decide his fate, and no one else may interfere. Everyone... has no objections, I trust?"
"It doesn't matter who disposes of him," Zhou Tian Shen Di said with closed eyes. "But he must be executed here, absolutely cannot be taken back alive."
Yesterday, he had stopped those who wanted to strike Yun Che down, suggesting instead that they cripple his profound power and spare his life.
But now, his attitude had completely changed. His determination to kill was extremely firm, to the point where he was willing to use any means he had previously scorned.
Li Ze Mo Shen Lu Shi... (The Demon Slaughtering the World)
These six words were a nightmare deeply embedded in his soul.
"Of course!" Xia Qingyue said coldly.
"Then what is the second thing?" Qianye Fantian asked with great interest.
"The second thing..." Xia Qingyue turned her body, her cold and icy gaze slowly sweeping over the crowd as she spoke slowly: "It is to make sure... that none of you set foot on this land of my birth!"
At these words, everyone's expressions changed simultaneously.
"Hmph! How could I allow the land of my birth to be trampled wantonly by you all!" Xia Qingyue said coldly. "Yun Che deserves death, but no matter how much he deserves it, I will not allow you to drag my dignity into this!"
"Sigh, Yue Shen Di, rest assured," Zhou Tian Shen Di said with a sigh, clearly feeling the anger and resolve in her words. "We came to this planet solely for Yun Che. We will not implicate others."
"I believe you, Zhou Tian Shen Di, can manage that, but are you certain others can as well?" Xia Qingyue said.
Zhou Tian Shen Di could not reply.
"Furthermore, whether Yun Che appears today or not, his family will surely come to harm. You are all well aware of that," Xia Qingyue said coldly. "Although I will personally kill Yun Che, among his wives are my old acquaintances. One of them was even my senior mentor, who has shown me great kindness... Such an ugly scene, I certainly don't wish to see!"
"And," before the other Divine Emperors could speak, Xia Qingyue continued, "Your purpose in coming here today is not primarily to kill Yun Che. More than that, you wish to personally investigate what secrets lie in Yun Che's birthplace. If you truly discover something, it will inevitably trigger conflict. Letting this humble planet suffer is one thing, but if it leads to rivers of blood between realms and mutual hatred, that would be most unpleasant."
"As one of the Divine Emperors of the Eastern Divine Region, how could I permit such an ugly affair to occur in the land of my birth!"
"Heh," Qianye Fantian smiled faintly. "Yue Shen Di, your words are truly laughable. Now, the existence of this planet is known to the entire Eastern Divine Region, and soon all three divine regions will know. Even if you can stop us today, can you stop them in the future?"
"Besides, I'm afraid you can't even stop us today."
"And how do you know this king cannot stop you?" Xia Qingyue smiled, but there was no emotion in that smile. "If I destroy it, won't that solve the problem once and for all?"
Her words stunned everyone. Then Nanming Shendi was the first to burst into laughter: "Yue Shen Di is truly amusing, very amusing, hahahaha."
Zheng!!
With a heavy cry, the Purple Que Sword was drawn. In an instant, purple radiance filled the sky. Nanming Shendi's laughter cut off abruptly, and all the Divine Emperors turned around in shock.
"This king's birthplace — how could I allow you to trample it! Your greedy hearts have brought you here to tread upon it — is that not the same as stepping on my face!" The purple light on the Purple Que Divine Sword grew deeper with each passing moment. A terrifying Divine Emperor's pressure radiated outward into the surrounding void at an alarming speed.
"You..." Qianye Fantian's face darkened. Feeling the rapidly intensifying pressure, he began to realize Xia Qingyue might be serious: "Yue Shen Di, have you gone mad? Since this is your birthplace, your clan, your family, and your old friends are all on it!"
Xia Qingyue's expression didn't change in the slightest as she spoke leisurely: "Yun Che's matter has given me a reminder. Today, someone used his birthplace and family to force his hand. In the future, someone might use this place and my family to threaten me."
"My biological father, my younger brother, and my former master, senior mentors, and junior masters are all on this planet. If that day comes, should I submit, or should I not?"
"If I do not submit, won't the world laugh at me for being cold and heartless? If I can only submit..." Xia Qingyue smiled without mirth: "As the Emperor of the Yue Shen Realm, why should I allow such a weakness to exist!"
Zheng!
As she spoke, the purple light of the Purple Que Divine Sword surged severalfold. The dense purple radiance reflected on everyone's faces. The Divine Emperors were merely surprised, but the many Realm Kings from the Eastern Divine Region behind them could no longer breathe.
Such terrifying power was certainly enough to completely destroy the deep blue star in sight. But Xia Qingyue still seemed to find it insufficient, and the dreadful power continued to gather and surge rapidly.
"Yue Shen Di, you..." Zhou Tian Shen Di's face changed dramatically, and he said solemnly, "Since your father and brother are on it, how can you do this! We came here today only for Yun Che. What crime have the countless living beings of Lan Ji Star committed!"
Xia Qingyue said, "As Fan Tian Shen Di said, soon all three divine regions will know this place as Yun Che's birthplace. It's easy to imagine that from today onwards, countless profound practitioners from the divine regions will rush to set foot on it. For such a humble planet, what awaits is endless trampling and disaster. Since that's the case, it's better for it to disappear than to suffer a fate worse than death."
Zhou Tian Shen Di's brow furrowed deeply. He wanted to say something more, but saw Xia Qingyue turn her gaze and speak flatly: "It was Zhou Tian Shen Di who exposed this place, brought everyone here, and forced this planet into desperation. Since that's the case, why should Zhou Tian Shen Di feel pity for the creatures of this planet?"
"..." Zhou Tian Shen Di's words caught in his throat, and for a long time, he was speechless.
"Yue Shen Di, are you truly going to do this?" Long Huang's brow furrowed slightly. Although Xia Qingyue was Yue Shen Di, she was only half a Jiazi old. With such shallow experience, her heart shouldn't be this ruthless: "If Yun Che doesn't show himself today, this planet still has great use. If you truly want to destroy it, you should at least wait until after."
"You need not worry about that at all, Long Huang," Xia Qingyue said. "This king and Yun Che were once husband and wife after all. My understanding of him is at least far greater than yours. He will surely appear today, and perhaps much sooner than you expect!"
"Yue Shen Di!" Qianye Fantian flashed and stood in front of Xia Qingyue, speaking gravely, "Although I still believe you are bluffing... if you truly want to destroy it, I will be the first to object!"
"Is that so?" Xia Qingyue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "In terms of strength, this king dare not compare with any Divine Emperor present."
"But... if this king is determined to destroy Lan Ji Star! None of you can stop me!"
"You!"
Qianye Fantian's face grew even darker.
Lan Ji Star was such a massive target. If a Divine Emperor wanted to destroy it, indeed no one could stop them. And Xia Qingyue's words made everyone increasingly feel... that she might indeed be serious!
The purple light on the Purple Que Divine Sword continued to expand. The condensation of power had reached a point that even made the Divine Emperors feel a slight palpitation in their hearts.
And at that moment, the brows of all the Divine Emperors twitched simultaneously.
A presence was rapidly approaching. And this presence...
"Dun Yue Immortal Palace!"
"Yun Che!"
Yun Che's arrival instantly changed the atmosphere. Everyone's attention shifted to the same direction. Just as Xia Qingyue had said, Yun Che had come, and much faster than expected.
The presence erupted. All the Divine Emperors shifted positions. Qianye Fantian could no longer concern himself with Xia Qingyue, his figure moving far sideways... His purpose was vastly different from Zhou Tian Shen Di's. Compared to Yun Che's life or death, what he wanted even more were the things on Yun Che — both the Heavenly Poison Pearl and the Evil God Divine Power.
Compared to others, Xia Qingyue's reaction was unusually calm. Her beautiful eyes turned, and in her perception, the trajectory of the Dun Yue Immortal Palace was clearly visible. She muttered softly, "Good timing..."
Those massive profound ships emitting terrifying auras came into view. Inside the Dun Yue Immortal Palace, Yun Che lifted his gaze. He knew many had come... a host of supreme Divine Emperors who were rarely seen even in a thousand years had gathered today in this barren land for him.
He didn't look at anyone. His gaze was fixed straight on Lan Ji Star, and some hope surged in his darkened heart.
The ships and people were all stopped here, evidently not yet having set foot on Lan Ji Star.
Then, relying on the Dun Yue Immortal Palace's ultimate speed, there might still be a chance to break through!
Arrive at Lan Ji Star before them, bring Wu Xin and the others into the Dun Yue Immortal Palace at the fastest speed, and then flee with the Void Stone.
This was the only way! The only hope and possibility!
Taking a deep breath, Yun Che's gaze flashed with cold light... And at that moment, over a dozen profound pressures crashed down. Though they were very far away, each was terrifying beyond measure. If not for the Dun Yue Immortal Palace's barrier, any one of them would have been enough to heavily wound him instantly.
Under the suppression of these profound pressures, the Dun Yue Immortal Palace's speed plummeted.
"Good..." Yun Che ground his teeth.
Weng Hong!!!
Above the Dun Yue Immortal Palace, an extremely dazzling silver moonlight burst forth. In an instant, it broke free from all the suppressing presences and shot toward Lan Ji Star at a speed even faster than before.
It had clearly broken through its limits.
The Golden Moon God, Yue Wuji, flashed golden light in his eyes.
"Oh?" Nanming Shendi's eyes showed a strange color, and a dangerous smile appeared on his face: "As expected of the Dun Yue Immortal Palace, tsk tsk."
"It seems he is still trying to struggle," Qianye Fantian smiled faintly. "Naive."
The several Divine Emperors all transformed into streams of light, charging straight at the Dun Yue Immortal Palace. But at that moment, Xia Qingyue extended her hand that wasn't holding the sword, pointing from afar at the Dun Yue Immortal Palace. Her palm flickered with faint moonlight.
Inside the Dun Yue Immortal Palace, Yun Che, who had focused his spirit to the utmost, suddenly felt his mind go blank. Deep in his soul, something seemed to silently shatter.
Then, the connection between him and the Dun Yue Immortal Palace... was completely severed.
"Wuji!" Xia Qingyue murmured.
The moment Xia Qingyue's voice left her mouth, Yue Wuji's figure had transformed into a golden stream of light. But the direction he flew was not toward the front of the Dun Yue Immortal Palace where the other Divine Emperors were heading... but toward the rear!
And at that moment, the Dun Yue Immortal Palace's speed suddenly decreased. After tracing a severely twisted arc in the air, it flew diagonally backward at full speed, directly meeting Yue Wuji.
The Divine Emperors charging toward the Dun Yue Immortal Palace all showed shock on their faces.
The strongest aspect of the Golden Moon God Yue Wuji was his speed, which was no less than that of the previous Yue Shen Di, Yue Wuyai. Before the others could react, he had already arrived in front of the Dun Yue Immortal Palace... And at this moment, Xia Qingyue changed her gesture again. With a faint flash of moonlight, Yun Che's figure was directly expelled from the Dun Yue Immortal Palace, firmly captured in Yue Wuji's grasp.
This "turn of events" caught everyone off guard... especially Yun Che.
He was clearly the master of the Dun Yue Immortal Palace... yet it had been taken from him in an instant!?
"According to the agreement just made, whoever captures Yun Che will decide his fate," Xia Qingyue said flatly. "Now, if anyone dares to obstruct this king from personally executing Yun Che, don't blame me for turning hostile."
"Since you are a Divine Emperor, your word is your bond. Having Yue Shen Di dispose of him... Hmph, it's most suitable," Long Huang said without any expression.
"Heh, Yue Shen Di truly has fine methods," Qianye Fantian said with a smile, but he was secretly grinding his teeth. He finally understood why Xia Qingyue had so readily agreed to the phrase "whoever captures him first will decide his fate"... And now thinking back, even that phrase had clearly been brought up by her!
The Dun Yue Immortal Palace was the strongest profound ship of the Yue Shen Realm. Everyone knew it had been given to Yun Che by Xia Qingyue. But no one had expected that Xia Qingyue could forcibly reclaim control!
After their shock, they weren't too stunned. After all, the Dun Yue Immortal Palace's power originated from Moon God Divine Power. And Xia Qingyue was the Yue Shen Di who controlled the most fundamental Moon God Divine Power! She indeed had reason to forcibly interfere.
"It seems Yue Shen Di is truly persistent about personally killing Yun Che," Nanming Shendi said with a beaming smile.
Yue Wuji brought Yun Che closer. Their words, Yun Che heard clearly. He raised his head and looked at Xia Qingyue, who was surrounded by purple light. His mind was a mess: "Qingyue, you..."
"Seal his limbs," Xia Qingyue said coldly. "He has a Void Stone on him. Don't give him any chance."
Yue Wuji acknowledged. Without needing to move, the force suppressing Yun Che intensified severalfold, rendering every part of Yun Che's body except his head completely immobile.
Hearing Xia Qingyue's words, the light in his eyes dimmed. He absolutely couldn't believe it... He could sense that Xia Qingyue had suddenly forcibly seized control of the Dun Yue Immortal Palace, cutting off his only hope.
Having him personally captured — he could still tell himself that Xia Qingyue was trying to find a way to save him... But why did she deliberately reveal the secret that he had a Void Stone on him, alerting everyone present?
"Yun Che," Xia Qingyue looked eastward, the azure-blue star reflected in her eyes. "Before you die, this king will give you a great gift. Watch the following scenes carefully. Don't miss even a single frame. Otherwise, what a pity it would be."
He had always loved hearing Xia Qingyue's voice, even when it was deliberately cold. But now, every word from Xia Qingyue's lips chilled him to the bone. An immense sense of dread spread wildly through his entire body: "Qingyue, you... what... are you... going to do?"
Before his voice faded, Xia Qingyue's sword lightly swept out.
A seven-foot blade, yet it swung out a hundred-zhang purple radiance... which instantly became ten thousand zhang... ten thousand li... a hundred thousand li... a million li... Amid everyone's shock, in Yun Che's instantly constricted pupils, that purple radiance shattered layer upon layer of space and struck that azure-blue star.
In an instant, Lan Ji Star split in two. Then it completely disintegrated, shattering into countless azure-blue fragments... until even those countless star-like fragments were engulfed by the exploding purple light...
The earth, the seas, the mountains and rivers, the living beings... Everything was rapidly reduced to utter nothingness in the purple light.
