396: Go to Kunlun Ruins

After the Great Shaman finished speaking.

The candlelight suddenly flickered violently, casting the Great Shaman's aged face into alternating light and shadow.

In that instant, Ye Xuan looked at the Great Shaman and found her face seemed a bit ferocious.

Immediately after, she tremblingly took out a faintly glowing bone shard from her embrace and handed it to Ye Xuan.

"This is... what Nv Xi left for you. She found me and told me that if one day you knew the truth of everything, I should give this to you."

Ye Xuan took the bone shard, and the moment it touched his hand, scenes surged in like a tide.

He saw his younger self playing with Nv Xi by the river, and saw Nv Xi and him using a special power to control living beings.

They used these powers to help the tribe, until one day, they could no longer use this power.

He saw Nv Xi's back as she stood in front of him when Zixiao first led heavenly soldiers to attack.

He also saw Nv Xi kneeling alone before the divine statue, shedding blood and tears before knowing the full truth.

"She exchanged her Soul as a price for the method to awaken your Bloodline."

The Great Shaman's voice seemed to come from a very distant place.

"Tai Hao, the purple Bloodline within you is the true Haotian Power."

Ye Xuan trembled all over.

At this moment, he seemed to have touched upon the secrets of ancient times.

"Then those from the Heavenly Realm..."

"They are all thieves!"

The Great Shaman suddenly became agitated, her bone staff heavily thudding against the ground.

"Supreme God of the Heavens is merely a despicable wretch who stole a drop of your essence blood!"

"If not for that incident, you and Nv Xi would have long since led the Human Race to prosperity. How could we still be like this?"

The Great Shaman's face became very unsightly.

Outside the divine hall, the gaze of the purple eyes grew stronger, and the entire building began to shake violently.

"No time left!"

The Great Shaman grabbed Ye Xuan's hand.

"Listen, go to Kunlun Ruins, find the Haotian Pagoda, and reclaim your power! If you cannot retrieve the Haotian Pagoda, then destroy it. Only you can destroy the Haotian Pagoda. You absolutely cannot let the Haotian Pagoda fall into anyone else's hands. Go quickly."

The Great Shaman clutched Ye Xuan's arm and exhorted him.

Her voice was filled with such sorrow that Ye Xuan's heart trembled.

"Then, what about Nv Xi? If I destroy the Haotian Pagoda, will something happen to Nv Xi?"

Ye Xuan pressed on.

"Nv Xi's Soul is still attached to the divine statue. As long as the divine statue exists, she can still live."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The divine hall continued to rumble, its roof on the verge of collapse.

"I..."

Ye Xuan wanted to ask something else, but the words had not yet left his mouth.

The Great Shaman looked at the crumbling hall and suddenly pushed Ye Xuan away.

As soon as her voice fell, a bolt of purple lightning instantly split the hall's roof and struck straight down!

That purple Divine Power descended with a roar, like a power meant to destroy the world.

In an instant, everything around it was incinerated into ash and vanished.

"Not good."

The Great Shaman raised her bone staff, and an invisible ripple quietly spread, momentarily blocking the lightning.

Then, something from within the divine statue seemed to land on the bone staff.

The Great Shaman threw the bone staff to Ye Xuan. Then, her power was exhausted, and the lightning struck.

"Great Shaman!"

Ye Xuan caught the bone staff, then directly raised his hand, and a powerful force at that moment supported everything within the divine hall.

It blocked the power of the lightning.

However, this also caused blood to flow from Ye Xuan's mouth.

Clearly, even with Ye Xuan's current strength as a Heavenly Emperor, he was no match for the Haotian Pagoda.

After all, this was the complete Haotian Pagoda, which had not lost any of its power.

That was the power of the Supreme Realm.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just as Ye Xuan was about to lose his grip.

The divine hall collapsed with a crash. In the nick of time, a dazzling light erupted from Ye Xuan's chest, and a five-colored glow enveloped him, instantly teleporting him and the Great Shaman to the tribe's back mountain.

When he staggered and stood firm, he found Man Shi anxiously waiting there with the tribesmen.

The distant tribe was already enveloped in purple lightning.

Everything had turned to dust and disappeared.

"Tai Hao!"

Man Shi rushed forward to support him.

"Just now, lightning struck from the sky, and the divine hall was destroyed. Are you alright?"

Ye Xuan silently shook his head. Before them lay the Great Shaman's bone staff and the Great Shaman's body, which had fallen into a deep sleep due to loss of power.

"This..."

"Give the order."

Ye Xuan's voice was terribly hoarse, and his face was unpleasantly pale.

"From this day forward, all tribesmen are to Cultivate the Nine Secrets. You must become stronger as quickly as possible. Those from the Heavenly Realm will surely attack you. During my absence, you must try your best to avoid fighting them."

"The moment I return will be the time to counterattack the Heavenly Realm."

"Yes, but Tai Hao, where are you going?"

Man Shi looked at Ye Xuan and hastily pressed the question.

"Kunlun Ruins!"

...

Three days later, Ye Xuan stood alone before a mist-shrouded valley. The bone shard in his palm was faintly warm, guiding him in the direction of Kunlun Ruins.

"This is it."

Ye Xuan gripped the bone staff and slowly stepped into the mist.

Within the mist, towering peaks were vaguely visible, their forms like Dragons coiling and tigers crouching. Even more bizarrely, the Spiritual Qi here was so dense it had almost solidified. Every step felt like moving through viscous water.

This was the Kunlun Land of the primordial era, completely different from the future.

Everything here had not yet taken shape; everything was in Chaos.

But what was the same was that the Spiritual Vein here was incredibly powerful.

"Brother Tai Hao."

A familiar voice came from the mist.

Ye Xuan followed the sound and saw Nv Xi's phantom, even more transparent than before, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"Nv Xi, why did you come out?"

"I can feel a familiar aura here. This place is extremely dangerous. I will guide you to the depths."

"Alright."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

"Follow me."

"I found you!"

Zixiao's figure appeared in purple light, and behind him stood five terrifyingly powerful Heavenly Generals!

Even more alarming was that Zixiao was now enveloped in an aura similar to Supreme God of the Heavens's, clearly having gained stronger power.

"Tai Hao, I didn't expect you to find your way here. But it's good that you came. Supreme God of the Heavens said that after all your Bloodline is extracted, he will completely replace your identity."

"From now on, you will completely disappear from these skies; everything will belong to the Heavenly Realm."

Zixiao sneered, a purple lightning sword forming in his hand.

Ye Xuan's gaze deepened, and he slowly drew out the bone spear.

The Cold Marrow power and Nüwa Divine Power intertwined on the spear tip, emitting a strange halo.

His body was also enveloped in purple Divine Power.

Although faint, it was more concentrated and brilliant than the power on Zixiao's body.

Clearly, the source of everything came from Ye Xuan.

And when this wisp of purple light appeared, the surrounding Spiritual Qi seemed to change. Kunlun trembled, and the earth roared.
