Chapter 1045: Poisoned

Princess Meiyu of the Regal Lei Clan had whipped the Fairy Queen until she could only lay on the ground motionless. What made it amazing is that she wasn’t covered in whipped wounds at all yet she is suffering from the pain of being hit by one. She laid on the ground not moving but everyone can see that she is still alive. On the other hand, the Second Moon Princess, Yue Xuehua was crying as she held the Moon Goddess’s hand. She is still blaming herself as the original target was hers after all.

The Immortal Star Emperor was beside her trying to comfort him but was pushed a few more times and just decided to wait beside her without doing anything else. As for the Immortal Sun Emperor, forget about the Immortal Star Emperor, he couldn’t even move his eyes away from Yue Xuexia in his embrace. The Moon Goddess had lost consciousness due to this poison targeting her soul which was already vulnerable due to soul injuries.

Shen Jueyang was about to lose himself in anger.

"What do you mean you don’t know the cure!? You are a doctor and you don’t even know what we are supposed to do at this moment!? Are you kidding me!?" The Immortal Sun Emperor exclaimed. He was too impatient as he actually didn’t know what he should do at this moment.

The doctor said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"This isn’t something we can resolve like this! Can you wake Xue’er up?" The Immortal Thunder God, Lei Yuye asked.

The doctor asked, "Wake her up? Just wake her?"

"Yes! Can you do it!?" The Great General, Shen Taiyang said.

The doctor looked bewildered but he still answered honestly.

"W-Wake... yes, yes, it’s possible!" The doctor said as he brought out a few needles from his storage and was about to use acupuncture to forcibly wake the Moon Goddess even temporarily.

The doctor poked the Moon Goddess at her acupoints that can force her to wake up. However, this is only temporary. The moment Yue Xuexia woke up everyone was delighted.

The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "Xue’er, you are poisoned by Nether Soul Poison."

"Hm... no wonder, I feel groggy," said the Moon Goddess.

She realized that her soul is being attacked by the poison but to treat herself, she needs to be awake. She pulled out a set soul nourishing herb and refined it on the spot when it turned into pills.

Someone in the crowd exclaims, "Soul Nourishing Pills. Top grade. Perfect Quality."

The Moon Goddess said, "Jueyang, feed me the pills."

The Immortal Sun Emperor immediately made a move and took the pills to feed it to Yue Xuexia one at a time. Finally, she got her strength back. The first thing she did was to wipe Yue Xuehua’s tears.

The Moon Goddess said, "Don’t cry. This is not your fault."

"Xue-jie, I’m sorry." Yue Xuehua said.

The Moon Goddess said, "Restrain that woman. It is not impossible for her to escape. She had done it multiple times."

Everyone’s attention was suddenly on the Fairy Queen, however, they were surprised with what happened next. The Fairy Queen who was pretending to be dead suddenly raised her head and glared at the Moon Goddess. He was surrounded by some kind of greenish dark aura that feels both eerie and disgusting.

Fairy Queen Titania shouted, "This is not over!" The greenish black aura had engulfed her then she suddenly disappeared on the spot. No one had expected this and before anyone could grab him to stop the earth had swallowed her alive.

Tan Shengyu exclaims, "What the hell is that creepy aura?"

"This is... Netherworld’s Miasma. Did she land in the hands of those Soul Refining monsters," said Prince Suyu.

Hmp!

Princess Meiyu said, "Serves her right. She had done so many bad things. This ending is something she had sowed for herself."

"Alright. Enough talking. Protect Xue’er while she heals herself. Those who planned to break through or something do it now while we are here," said the Immortal Thunder Emperor.

Not far from them, Yue Xuexia is meditating. She needs to stabilize her soul first before healing her wounds. Healing it is simple after all. She just needed to remove the poison and used Sacred Healing Skill on it and her back would be good as new.

Meanwhile, because of what happened to Yue Xuexia, the Immortal Sun Emperor is even more guarded than before. He would push anyone not from their side away. Even the Immortal Star Emperor suffered greatly from this aura. There is a difference in their realm right now and Xing Xieju happens to be the weaker side. His recent injuries on his chest had reopened just from the Great Emperor realm aura of Shen Jueyang.

Ugh~

"Stay away. Do not approach Xue’er!" said the Immortal Sun Emperor.

Everyone who was pushed realized that the one with the highest realm in this area is now the Immortal Sun Emperor who had successfully broken through the Great Emperor realm. His domineering presence had increased a lot compared to before. This time even those at the emperor ’s realm were not his opponents. They can easily be suppressed by him. No one dares to approach what happened because of what the Fairy Queen had done, the atmosphere around the Immortal Sun Emperor had gotten tense as well.

It took awhile before the Moon Goddess opened her eyes from meditation and first used purification on her wound before using her sacred healing skills. In just a few moments the ugly wound on her back had completely disappeared. It’s just that the impact of the Nethersoul Poison on her still remains. The Soul Nourishing Pill had just suppressed its effects.

The Moon Goddess’s legs weakened and the Immortal Sun Emperor caught her before the fall.

"Xue’er, how are you feeling?" Shen Jueyang asked worriedly.

Yue Xuexia with her eyelashes fluttering, responded, "Sleepy. Sleepier than... before," she had only closed her eyes upon saying these words. Her whole weight was left on Shen Jueyang to handle.

The Immortal Sun Emperor carefully carried Yue Xuexia in his embrace. He was so gentle that others almost couldn’t recognize him. The Immortal Thunder Emperor approached to ask about the situation.

Lei Yuye asked, "How is she?"

"Stable for now. But her soul injuries might have worsened. We need to enter the Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Nest as soon as possible and let her heal in the Nirvana Pool there." Shen Jueyang said as he glanced at Shen Taiyang.

The Great General, Shen Taiyang approached them and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Contact the Ice Phoenix Race. Tell them that the Obsidian Dragon had returned. If they want to enter their ancient nest, they must come and talk to me," said the Immortal Sun Emperor.

Shen Taiyang said, "I will pass them the message."

"When Tianhei returns, tell him to go back to his human form. His original form is eyecatching. Also, you handle the rest here." Shen Jueyang said as he brought out a teleportation talisman from his space ring.

Before leaving he looked at the elders in the group and said, "I will go back first and let Xue’er rest."

"Go ahead. We will handle the rest here," said Principal Wu Yao and the Immortal Thunder Emperor, Lei Yuye. "Go back. Take good care of my niece. As for the Nethersoul Poison, I will make sure that those old bastards must pay for it!"

"Then I am going now," said Shen Jueyang as he ripped the Teleportation Talisman in his hand and disappeared on the spot.

After the Immortal Sun Emperor had left together with the Moon Goddess, those who were left behind looked at one another. There are some who had taken their leave after not completing what they came for, but what they had watched was enough for them to comprehend for a long time. That was a tribulation of a Great Emperor. Only talent cultivators who haven’t inherited any legacies from the Primordial Gods wouldn’t be able to directly break through the Tribulation realm.

The Everlasting Moon Emperor, Yue Yuya, had successfully broken through the Tribulation Realm only because the Moon Goddess had shared her legacy as the new Primordial Lightning Goddess with the Ancient Moon Clan and the Regal Lightning Clan. But the Immortal Sun Emperor didn’t have any legacy to inherit, that’s why he can only break through the Great Emperor realm.

The Immortal Thunder Emperor noticed the Immortal Star Emperor approaching and immediately pulled Yue Xuehua behind his back. He stared at him like a pig about to steal his cabbage and was frowning as he stared at the young man.

"Star Emperor, with that kind of wound don’t you think you should go back and recuperate?" Lei Yuye said. Even though he sounds suggesting things in reality he is telling him off and gets lost.

This man had approached his nieces more than twice and got beaten with the same number of times and he doesn’t seem to be willing to give up as well. The Immortal Star Emperor glanced at Yue Xuehua hidden behind the Immortal Thunder Emperor and sighed. He knew that talking to Yue Xuehua at this time was not possible. With what happened thanks to that Fairy Queen, Yue Xuehua’s state itself was not well.

"Xuehua, I will come see you next time," said Xing Xieju, the Immortal Star Emperor, before taking his leave.

Yue Xuehua watched him leave and said, "Lunatic."
