Chapter 5218: Arrives Editor: Misty Cloud Translations "Get away! Get away!" In her sleep, Yue’er swung the whip in her hand. Yet the malevolent entity, emitting that eerie laughter, kept coiling around her again and again. Her heart raced with panic, but her entire body felt utterly powerless. Even as she wielded the Divine Whip, she sensed it held no true force. "Such a pure celestial spirit body is truly rare, especially one as fresh and tender as this. Heh heh heh... After waiting a thousand years, I never imagined I’d encounter such an invaluable spirit body. Truly, heaven favors me..." The hollow voice carried a hoarseness that sounded ancient, yet within that rasp lay a hint of sharpness. Coupled with the eerie, chilling laughter, it truly sent shivers down one’s spine. Yue’er couldn’t see her surroundings. She only knew something kept grabbing at her feet. Even after she kicked it away, it clung back tightly. In an instant, a chill ran down her spine. A bone-chilling sensation flooded her entire body, making every hair on her skin stand on end. "This body is perfect—flesh and blood, warm to the touch. Such a wonderful sensation." " The voice was eerie and excited, layers of cold energy rising from Yue’er’s feet, tightly binding her as if trying to strangle her. Her entire body was immobilized. Worse, she felt her body growing colder, a bone-chilling coldness creeping upward, until it reached her neck and tightened around it. "No... let go... let me go..." Her body was utterly unresponsive, suffocated by that icy breath. Breathing grew increasingly difficult, her will gradually weakening, as if she were about to plunge into endless darkness at any moment. And yet, precisely at this moment, the voice of that thousand-year-old specter still echoed in her ears, as if trying to lure out her soul to possess it by force. "M-Master..." She cried out in agony, her eyes closing as everything seemed to plunge into darkness. In that instant, her entire body felt possessed by the specter... At that very moment, the Azure Emperor, seated cross-legged atop Yunxiao Mountain, abruptly opened his eyes. A flash of icy light and murderous intent flickered through his deep, enigmatic gaze. His gaze fixed forward, as if piercing through the cave abode to some distant place. The next instant, he closed his eyes and began rotating his hands before him. Within the secret realm, beneath a great tree where light mist swirled, Yue’er leaned against the trunk. Her face was deathly pale, cold sweat soaking her clothes. Her body trembled faintly. All around her was pitch black, leaving her utterly alone. Yet, at that very instant, the core of the ten-thousand-year-old green spirit wood nestled in her hair glowed with a luminous radiance. A streak of green light flashed, and the Azure Emperor, who had been within the Yunxiao Mountain cave abode moments before, appeared here. Seeing Yun Qi’s ashen face, the Azure Emperor radiated a bone-chilling aura. A flash of murderous intent flickered in his eyes—a stark contrast to his usual detached, indifferent demeanor. He extended a finger, pressing it directly against Yun Qi’s forehead. Instantly, a piercing, unwilling scream seemed to echo through the forest. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺 "Who are you! How dare you disrupt my plans!" The Azure Emperor narrowed his eyes. His deep, icy black pupils swept over the dissipating wisps of smoke and Yin energy. His voice was cold as ice: "Dare to touch her, and I shall obliterate your very soul! You shall never find peace for all eternity!"
