Free Web NovelChapter 2482: Chapter 2482: Is the Empress Alive or Dead?
The Immortal Emperor can tear the void with bare hands and traverse a million miles in endless space.
Fang Bai thought it possible that the Hundred Flowers Empress could have entered the endless space during a battle with an opponent, to fight elsewhere.
However, if the Hundred Flowers Empress truly entered endless space and crossed to another region, why has she not returned to Hundred Flowers Mountain in nearly a hundred years? Why is there no news?
The endless space is filled with terrifying chaotic wind currents. Even one as strong as the Immortal Emperor would need to use all their Immortal Qi to protect themselves, otherwise their flesh would be shredded by the swirling forces. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Fang Bai was most worried that the Hundred Flowers Empress was wounded when she entered endless space; under such conditions, wounds would not heal, blood would flow endlessly, and facing strong opponents would be extremely dangerous.
Up to now, there are only two possibilities for the lack of news about the Hundred Flowers Empress: either she is trapped somewhere and cannot escape, or she has fallen.
Of course, Fang Bai hopes for the first possibility.
Though Fang Bai has the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron to protect him, he cannot stay too long in the Black Thunder Zone that even the Immortal Emperor fears.
He drove the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron with all his might, reaching the Emperor Artifact left behind by the Hundred Flowers Empress, released a Puppet Corpse, controlled it to grasp the Emperor Artifact, and threw it into the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron.
Although he acquired the Emperor Artifact, the Puppet Corpse Fang Bai released became a sacrifice, struck by several black lightning bolts simultaneously and reduced to ashes.
Fang Bai does not feel pained by exchanging the Emperor Artifact left behind by the Hundred Flowers Empress with a Puppet Corpse.
As Fang Bai held the Emperor Artifact, a familiar aura and feeling surged in his heart, and the enchanting face of the Hundred Flowers Empress, radiant with delight or anger, appeared before him.
The Bipartite Dual Swords of the Hundred Flowers Empress were obtained by chance during a training experience after she became an Immortal Emperor.
Later, during a battle with another Immortal Emperor, the Hundred Flowers Empress defeated her opponent, but her Bipartite Dual Swords suffered damage, and it was Fang Bai who helped repair them.
The Emperor Artifact repaired by Fang Bai bears his imprint, allowing Fang Bai to sense its echoed aura.
Since acquiring one of the Bipartite Dual Swords, Fang Bai could return it to the Hundred Flowers Empress if she were still alive.
If the Hundred Flowers Empress had fallen, he could keep it as a memento.
After obtaining the Emperor Artifact left by the Hundred Flowers Empress, Fang Bai’s endurance in the Black Thunder Sea was reaching its limit.
Fang Bai knew that if he did not quickly leave the Black Thunder Zone, even while hiding within the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, he would be gravely injured by the powerful sonic waves generated by black lightning strikes upon the cauldron.
Ultimately, Fang Bai’s cultivation level was too weak; he could not fully unleash the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron’s power, or else the Black Thunder Sea would not pose any threat to him.
The White Thunder Zone in the deepest part of the Nine Nether Thunder Sea has the most powerful lightning, and even the Immortal Emperor considers it a forbidden area and dare not venture inside.
In his past life, Fang Bai planned to enter the White Thunder Zone of the Nine Nether Thunder Sea and attempt to reach the Great Emperor Realm when his battle strength peaked, but various events delayed him.
Later, the Eight Great Immortal Emperors surrounded him, and the Emperor Palace perished, dashing his plans of entering the White Thunder Zone of the Nine Nether Thunder Sea.
Now, he has returned to the Immortal Realm. Though once again reaching the Black Thunder Zone of Nine Nether Thunder Sea with the help of the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, the process was incredibly difficult, and his cultivation level was much weaker than in his previous life, so he did not dare to forcefully enter the White Thunder Zone.
After obtaining the Emperor Artifact left by the Hundred Flowers Empress, Fang Bai quickly exited the Black Thunder Sea, passing through the Purple Thunder Sea and Blue Thunder Sea, returning to the Azure Thunder Sea.
After witnessing the astonishing power of the Black Thunder Sea, upon returning to the Azure Thunder Zone, Fang Bai felt the pressure and lightning strikes here were incredibly "tame".
Fang Bai released his Divine Sense, searching for traces of Xielei Immortal Emperor, Fairy Yun Lei, and Thunder Sword Celestial Emperor, quickly establishing contact with them.
Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei sighed with relief upon seeing Fang Bai return safe and sound, but from Fang Bai’s indifferent face, they could not discern if he had found traces of the Hundred Flowers Empress.
"I wonder which level of Thunder Zone our Junior Immortal Friend Wushuang went to practice?"
Thunder Immortal Sword Emperor asked with keen interest.
With their mid-level Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation, they could only practice in the Azure Thunder Zone, and they thought even with the protection of a Supreme Immortal Artifact, Fang Bai could only reach the deeper Blue Thunder Zone.
However, being able to practice in the Blue Thunder Zone meant acquiring higher-grade cultivation resources, which thunder immortals like Thunder Immortal Sword Emperor greatly envied.
Fang Bai naturally wouldn’t reveal he had been to the Black Thunder Zone as that would be too astonishing, and Thunder Sword Celestial Emperor and the others probably wouldn’t believe it, so he smiled and said, "By chance, I reached the Purple Thunder Zone and stayed there for a while."
"What?"
Thunder Immortal Sword Emperor was shocked upon hearing this, thinking the Purple Thunder Zone is a perilous place that only those with the peak cultivation level of the Immortal Emperor Realm can reach. How could the Wushuang Immortal King enter it with just a Supreme Immortal Artifact?
Could it be that his Supreme Immortal Artifact is of a higher grade than imagined, able to withstand the strikes of Purple Thunder?
"What’s the scene like in the Purple Thunder Zone? Are there immortals practicing?"
Thunder Sword Celestial Emperor had never been to the Purple Thunder Zone, so he was skeptical and asked.
Fang Bai said, "The power of the world pressure and lightning strikes there are more than ten times stronger than here in the Azure Thunder Zone. I stayed there for several days, obtained some cultivation resources, and discovered several peak Immortal Emperor Realm experts... I intended to explore the Black Thunder Zone but feared losing my life, so I retreated."
"With your level eight Immortal King Realm cultivation, entering the Purple Thunder Zone is an unprecedented miracle. Yet, you wanted to enter the Black Thunder Zone?"
Thunder Sword Celestial Emperor looked at Fang Bai and bitterly smiled, thinking that the Black Thunder Zone is only a place where the Immortal Emperor dares to tread, and even those at the peak level of the Immortal Emperor Realm would be blasted to pieces.
"We have never seen the cultivation resources of the Purple Thunder Zone. I wonder if our Junior Immortal Friend Wushuang could display them for us?"
Thunder Blade Immortal Emperor was straightforward, unlike other immortals who might not directly ask and instead hint to avoid awkwardness, but Thunder Blade Immortal Emperor thoughtlessly asked outright.
Even if Thunder Blade Immortal Emperor had not asked, Fang Bai, considering the face of the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor, would gift them some cultivation resources brought back from the Purple Thunder Zone to aid in their cultivation.
After all, the disciples of the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor would become powerful allies in rebuilding the Emperor Palace and fighting the Eight Great Immortal Emperors in the future. Naturally, the stronger, the better.
Fang Bai did not mince words and waved his left hand, causing the Five Elements Space Ring to flicker slightly, and a large number of thunder attribute Immortal Stones and Immortal Elixirs, glowing with purple light, appeared before the immortals.
