Chapter 2538: Chapter 2512: Demon Emperor’s Invitation (Sixth Release)
The stone tablet in the Samsara Graveyard started shaking rapidly as a unique power penetrated deep into Ye Chen’s mind.
A moment later, the Heavenly Demon Intent dissolved, and Ye Chen slowly stood up, looking startlingly at the Ancient Sky Demon Pearl in his hand; the Heavenly Demon Intent had already been sealed inside by the Seven-Colored Divine Light, seemingly unable to escape!
“Whoosh, no!”
Ye Chen suddenly felt something wrong with his breath. Why was there a hint of demonic qi in his breath?
He quickly checked his body and found that there was a trace of Heavenly Demon Demonic Energy left in his dantian, which seemed to be a remnant that hadn’t been cleared away.
“The Samsara Graveyard saved my life once again, this trace of demonic qi, well, I’ll keep it to enhance the Green Lotus Annihilation Sword later after refining it!”
He quickly took out the Divine Light Cloth, wrapped the Ancient Sky Demon Pearl, and personally set up hundreds of seals on it to prevent the Heavenly Demon Intent from bursting out again. After carefully storing it, just as he was about to leave, an anomaly appeared from within the crystal coffin.
Divine light surged forth!
The divine light emanating from the crystal coffin gradually coalesced into a shadowy figure of an elderly man, dressed in a green robe, sporting a mustache shaped into an eight-character design! This shadowy figure seemed to be the master of the Samsara Graveyard, one of the Ye family’s elders from those days!
The shadowy figure gazed at Ye Chen, not merely observing Ye Chen’s youthful appearance but seeming to look through time and space, seeing a man who, with a single sword stroke, defeated millions of strong enemies, dominant in the world.
This shadowy figure was none other than the former Samsara Master!
The Samsara Master, governing reincarnation, not part of the Five Elements, understanding Yin Yang, having penetrated the mysteries of life and death, controlled the cycles of life for countless martial artists, far surpassing the rule of the so-called Heavenly Dao Palace, not subjected to the mandates of the heavenly realm, outside the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
Regrettably!
This Samsara Master, for reasons unknown, eventually perished.
A speck of Divine Deity, through the long river of time and space, reincarnated as a human, becoming Ye Chen!
Ye Chen’s previous life was precisely the Samsara Master who shook the Divine Kingdom!
“What is your name?” the shadowy figure inquired, with a voice trembling noticeably, seemingly in great awe of Ye Chen.
“I am Ye Chen!”
Ye Chen clasped his fists and bowed in respect!
“Very well, Ye Chen, you are of the reincarnation bloodline, please gather all ten Reincarnation Tablets as quickly as possible and fully activate your bloodline, there is no time to delay!”
The shadowy figure sighed slightly, saying somewhat emotively, “You are a descendant of my Ye family, that is indeed fortunate.”
Yet Ye Chen was somewhat puzzled and asked, “It is said that during ancient times, the Divine Kingdom Ye Family was truly the supreme overlord. But why did it later vanish, and even in the records of the Divine Kingdom, there is no mention of the Ye family?”
Ancient times!
Ancient periods!
The Ye family spanned across these two eras, having thrived for millions of years, and even in the ancient periods, the Ye family remained the undisputed overlord. Thus, this Ye family elder possessed such an extraordinary treasure like the Ancient Sky Demon Pearl.
However, at a certain point in history, the Ye family dissipated.
Not until the Demon Emperor emerged from oblivion, and after tens of thousands of years to the present era, gradually, the Divine Kingdom had almost no records left about the Ye family. The long river of time buried many things, but it should not have forgotten a family that spanned two eras like the Ye family!
“Ye Family!”
“To think my Ye family dominated the Divine Kingdom for tens of millions of years!”
“What a pity, what a pity!” the shadowy figure lamented deeply, saying, “Back then, our Ye family should not have been involved in that affair. We were tragically annihilated overnight, even I, was severely wounded by the residue of the battle, leading the family guards to flee to the remote areas, but that was merely the aftermath of the battle, leaving me with an eternal, incurable injury!”
“Until a thousand years after the demise of the Ye family!”
“I too departed this world due to the recurrence of my injuries, and outside the burial site, that individual was one of over a hundred guards I led, the only one remaining! The rest, although in the Disaster Slaying realm and Chaos Realm, sadly were also impacted by the battle’s aftermath and died before me. I then placed them in the accompanying tombs, wishing their corpses to still guard me!”
The shadowy figure slowly explained.
Ye Chen felt a tremor in his spirit; this shadowy figure, despite being a being surpassing the Chaos Realm, had been fatally wounded by the remnants of battle, unable to heal, and merely lingered for a thousand years before he had to pass away.
Battle aftermath?
What are the repercussions?
For a Sealed Gate martial artist like Ye Chen, even slaughtering other martial artists, the aftermath of the battle would at most kill those within the Star Aperture realm and Sealed Gate realm, suggesting that when that person slaughtered the Ye family, their level of cultivation was at least three major realms above the Disaster Slaying realm?
Otherwise!
How could the mere aftermath of his strike possess such might!
“Senior, what is that person’s name?”
“Is he still alive?” Ye Chen inquired.
The shadowy figure took a deep breath and said, “That person descended upon the Divine Kingdom, eradicated the Ye family, obliterated everything concerning the Ye family within the Divine Kingdom, and then left. That person is named—”
Crack!
Boom boom boom!!
Boom boom boom!!
Bolts of divine lightning roared forth!
It seemed as if Heaven and Earth’s Will did not allow the shadowy figure to mention that name!
Even the name could not be uttered, just the thought of it, not yet spoken, drew divine lightning that struck the burial site.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom!
The originally solid burial site suddenly got blasted open by divine lightning.
Before the shadowy figure could say ‘that person’s name, a bolt struck him, disrupting much of his form, and at the same time, the burial site began to shake rapidly, various passages began to collapse, walls crumbled into dust, and a large amount of earth fell from above.
“He has grown even stronger!”
“With my strength, I’m not qualified to mention his name!”
“Let me send you out!” The shadowy figure was rapidly disappearing, almost completely dissipated, casting a light of space to send Ye Chen out of the burial site, and then quickly shattered, the entire site also bursting apart.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Boom!
Bang!
Ye Chen appeared outside the burial site, looking at the sunken land, a flood of emotions running through him.
He looked at the Tomb Guardian, who seemed to have grasped the situation, and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Your Highness!”
“Please leave, this old servant will continue guarding!”
The Tomb Guardian, although knowing that the burial site had collapsed, still chose to guard it.
Ye Chen sighed, turned, and left, taking out the Ancient Sky Demon Pearl, and handed it over to the Demon Emperor.
Upon receiving the Ancient Sky Demon Pearl, the Demon Emperor quickly added several seals, then solemnly said, “Ye Chen, thank you. This Ancient Sky Demon Pearl contains an Outer Realm ancient demon. To restore my peak-level combat strength, there are almost no treasures in the Divine Kingdom that can aid me except for this Outer Realm ancient demon!”
Outer Realm ancient demon!
Not belonging to the Divine Kingdom’s Demon Dao figures!
At least an existence beyond the Chaos Realm, the Demon Emperor uses its power to restore his own level of cultivation and combat strength!
“Ye Chen!”
“If there’s no urgency, come back to the altar with me to cultivate!”
“You have done so much for me; it is time I did something.”
