Imperial God Emperor

The speed that Little Nine exploded with at that moment was inexplicable and unbelievable. In an instant, it had rushed ahead of Aunt Heng and placed Ye Qingyu, who had already been struck till he was like charcoal, on his back.

"Wu ah..."

There was a wild beast-like roar coming from his throat. He walked in the air, his body multiplying in size many times over, turning into a form like a huge white wolf.

"Little Yu..."

Aunt Heng wanted to come near, wanting to save Ye Qingyu.

But.

"Wu ah... woof!"

There was suddenly a bloodthirsty roar that emitted from Little Nine's throat. In his eyes that was originally as pure as black jewels, there was a blood-coloured vicious light moving beneath it. There was hostility in it's eyes as he stared towards Aunt Heng, not allowing her to near.

"Quickly let me save him!"

Aunt Heng shouted in panic.

To be struck by Heavenly Punishment, it was nearly certain death. She had never imagined that Ye Qingyu would risk his life to such an extent. This all happened in but a moment's time, she did not even have time to stop it.

Thankfully, in that exceedingly strange moment, Aunt Heng could just barely see Ye Qingyu's figure that was like charcoal, his chest was rising and falling. There was evidently still a shred of life within his body.

The gaze of Little Nine became slightly gentler, with a faint hesitation. But suddenly, it's gaze fiercely changed yet again. All the white hair of its body instantly rose like needles standing up, another fierce and vicious growl resounding throughout its throat. It's mouth faintly opened, and silver-coloured fangs like that of daggers glimmered as it was exposed...

Boom!

There was a gigantic sound.

Within the skies, another bolt of golden divine lightning shot down.

A terrifying energy that was hard to describe once again struck out in the direction of Ye Qingyu.

Sensing that Ye Qingyu had not yet died, the power of the Heavenly Punishment lightning once again gathered and neared.

No matter who it was, as long as one was determined to have the possibility of endangering the stability of the domain, they would utterly be eradicated.

"Careful..." Aunt Heng was frightened.

She received significant injuries, but there was still no way for her to resist against the reverberations of power of that golden lightning. She was still sent flying far away even from a distance.

"Wu ah... woof woof woof!"

The silly dog Little Nine let out an enraged roar at the sky.

This was the first time he had shown such anger and rage.

This was an extreme fury.

The figure of Little Nine once again enlarged. Like a divine wolf swallowing the very heavens, it carried Ye Qingyu, like a bolt of lightning, trying to head off into the skies to escape.

His speed was fast, extremely fast.

It was nearly like the speed of flowing light.

But the speed of the golden-coloured lightning was even quicker.

In the blink of an eye, it was about to catch up.

"Woof woof woof!"

Little Nine let out an enraged roar, doing his best to speed up yet again.

It wanted to use his own speed to evade the golden lightning and save Ye Qingyu.

But the faster he was, the faster the golden lightning became.

Little Nine was like a bolt of lightning in the air, constantly changing directions, wanting to escape.

The golden lighting followed it like it was his shadow.

This was the punishment of this world.

It was like a curse that one could not escape from.

There was white foam coming out from the lips of Little Nine.

He seemed to have expended nearly all of his strength. For such high speed movement, it had caused him to be in a dizzy and faint state. He felt as if his chest was tearing apart, white foam began to vomit from his mouth.

But the golden lightning neared and neared again, nearly touching his tail.

"Woof woof woof..."

He continued to let out an enraged roar.

It was evidently the noises of a dog. But from the mouth of Little Nine, there was a strange power and authority.

There was a craziness and fury that had never appeared, shining in the eyes of Little Nine.

Boom!

The golden lightning had finally chase after it.

Little Nine suddenly turned back, no longer running away. As he roared, he opened his mouth, biting towards this golden lighting, wishing to die with no regrets.

Biting and swallowing.

This was the only method left to him.

Even if he died, he need to protect his master.

"Woof woof woof... Master, if you are to die, then let me accompany you!"

As the golden lighting was swallowed into his stomach, Little Nine let out a furious howl just like so.

In an instant, flame and lightning, began to spit out and vomit from all the apertures in Little Nine's body.

He let out a furious roar, but he had still not been killed by this bolt of lightning.

Little Nine's head wobbled, not reacting to what had happened yet.

At this time, the Ye Qingyu on his back, at some unknown time, began to be covered by a faint silver sheet of ice.

Little Silver had awoken from its slumber.

It had evidently noticed Ye Qingyu's situation and danger. It began spitting out cold air as it used the power of ice to seal Ye Qingyu's body away.

Boom!

In the skies, the third bolt of heavenly thunder struck down.

The power of the laws of this world had noticed Ye Qingyu had not died yet. The third bolt of golden divine lightning came, Heavenly Punishment descending.

"Woof woof... Hao Hao Hao!"

Little Nine chose not to escape this time.

Amidst it's enraged roar, it once again opened his enormous mouth, once again directly ingesting the third golden divine lightning into his stomach.

The power of the Heavenly Punishment divine thunder once again reverberated throughout the air.

No matter whether it was Apex Prince Yu Feiyan or Lin Zheng whose body had recovered they had no way of approaching the two. Because they were of the Heaven Ascension cultivation realm, approaching too near would have the high possibility of causing the Heavenly Punishment to change it's target and attack them instead.

"Wu wu wu..."

Little Nine let out a tragic scream.

At this time, all of his fur had been turned completely black by that golden bolt of lightning. Fresh blood seeped out from his eyes, his ears, his nose, and his mouth was completely torn apart, flesh flying about in his mouth...

But what made people astounded was that the strength of his body was even more terrifying than Ye Qingyu. It had directly suffered two bolts of divine lightning, but he still had not died, and had not been completely turned into charcoal yet from the bolts.

Golden lightning ran madly about the seven apertures of Little Nine.

"Wu wu wu wu..."

Little Nine let out a painful whimper.

In the skies, the fourth bolt of Heavenly Punishment lightning once again descended.

Little Nine let out a furious and enraged roar.

In truth, he could discard the Ye Qingyu who was half alive on his back. He entirely did not have the need to endure the power of the Heavenly Punishment and be killed by it.

But in such a crucial and desperate moment, this silly dog whose life duty seemed to be to steal food, this dog that was normally unreliable, would protect his own master to the death, protecting his own will and determination.

Boom!

The fourth bolt of divine punishment, the golden lighting, was once again ingested by this large white dog that had nearly gone into a berserk state.

A horrifying power ran madly about, destroying his body.

This time, it was not only his seven apertures that were bleeding. Not only was there lighting running about his body, not only had his mouth and nose been torn to pieces, even his stomach had been struck apart. Golden-coloured lighting flowed out from the wound in his stomach, like there was a golden sharp sword that was currently slicing apart the body of the silly dog.

The fifth golden bolt of lighting was once again converging and being born in the skies.

It seemed to be extremely angry that even four continuous bolts of Heavenly Punishment had not managed to kill Ye Qingyu. Even the heavens grew furious. The fifth bolt of Heavenly Punishment, compared to the four other bolts, was tens of time thicker and more frightening. It was like a golden river of electricity, hanging up in the skies, constantly enlarging and forming...

"Wuah... master, Little Nine can't endure anymore... I'm sorry..."

The silly dog let out sounds of moaning and whimpering.

To be able to withstand three golden bolts of Heavenly Punishment, this was already a miracle that shocked the heavens itself. For all those that saw this scene, they had all lost their ability to think from shock.

This little white dog was evidently special.

But even if so, it would stop here today.

The fifth bolt of Heavenly Punishment was like a golden-coloured heaven river that came suppressing down with a rumble. A horrifying energy fluctuation, like it was about to destroy the world, sounded out. Even for people like Yu Feiyan as well as the Right Minister, they felt their soul quivering uncontrollably.

The silly dog Little Nine wobbled, nearly completely spent. He stood in the skies above, forcefully carrying Ye Qingyu, not even able to move slightly...

The moment for the final judgement had finally arrived.

"Master, you always scold me for being able to eat too much....but this time, Little Nine can't eat anymore. This damn golden lightning is too vicious... master, Little Nine will accompany you..."

He lowered his head as he spoke in a low voice, tears sparkling in his eyes.

The golden electricity was like a heavenly river, nearing in an instant.

Little Nine let out a faint smile, then he closed his eyes gently.

At the next instant, he could already smell the familiar destructive power of this golden-coloured electricity. Like a flood, it had already touched his nose.

But at that instant, it seemed as if nothing had happened whatsoever.

The surging golden bolt of lighting of Heavenly Punishment was like exploding thunder. As it was about to completely swallow up Ye Qingyu as well as Little Nine, it suddenly disappeared without any other signs whatsoever.

It was as if the previous moment and energy was only an illusion.

The silly dog Little Nine stood still for a while, before he opened his eyes.

It was incomparably shocked to discover that all the hints of the Heavenly Punishment, the golden-coloured lighting, had utterly and completely disappeared from the skies.

Everything had passed by.

This... just what was happening?

Little Nine had a feeling of not knowing what to do after escaping from certain death.

Then it suddenly felt a chill that seeped to his bones behind his back.

He turned to look and saw that Ye Qingyu had been completely frozen by Little Silver. Not only so, on the ice that sealed him away, there was faint silver patterns on it, like it was tight and clustered formations. Sparkling with a strange radiance, it completely shrouded the last shreds of life of Ye Qingyu.

The little silver dragon continuously and rapidly crawled about on top of the surface of the ice covering Ye Qingyu.

There would be silver signs left behind in the places where it crawled past. It was like silver formations. Once it was formed, there would be a strange energy fluctuating through it that continuously strengthened the seal on Ye Qingyu's life force.

"Wu wu... it's so painful..." Little Nine grumbled, then said with surprise, "Eh… Little Silver why are you acting like the silver snake... you ate it, so could it be that even you now know how to draw scribbles?"

"Phew... phew... phew!"

The little silver dragon had its tongue hanging out in fatigue. After finishing inscribing the last silver line, it was nearly paralyzed where it was.

"Phew... I've sealed off master's life force... so that the heavens will think he has died... Heavenly Punishment... will disappear..." The little silver dragon continued heaving and gasping as it uttered such words.

So the little silver dragon had crawled out a strange formation that had sealed off Ye Qingyu's life force. Since the heavens could not sense Ye Qingyu's existence anymore, they thought he was dead.

With Ye Qingyu dead, the power of Heavenly punishment naturally also disappeared.

"This... in other words, you saved us..." The energy of Little Nine was utterly spent. He wobbled and quiverd where he was, feeling an unprecedented fatigue. His vision became increasingly blurry and indistinct, nearly not able to endure it any longer.

"You... phew phew... helped me buy time..." The little silver dragon was very modest. If not for the fact that Little Nine had sacrificed himself and swallowed three bolts of heavenly lightning, there was no way Little Silver would have been able to achieve this.

Everything had finally passed.
