496: Star War Puppet

The Opportunity lies in the fact that if one can obtain the Legacy of the Ziwei Imperial Palace, they can truly control the Ziwei Great Emperor Star and even influence the stars of the heavens, possessing power far beyond what they have now!

The crisis lies in the fact that such a startling phenomenon absolutely cannot be hidden from the prying eyes of the Myriad Realms!

The Ancient Heavenly Court, the Netherworld, the Burial Earth, and even more forces hidden in the shadows will definitely not sit idly by while the Ye family obtains this Legacy!

After all, Ye Xuan has already obtained the Chaos Legacy; if he were to add the Legacy of starlight power...

Then Ye Xuan would shoulder the power of two great Legacies. At that time, even if the supreme beings were to act, they would no longer be able to restrain Ye Xuan.

Those powerhouses, naturally, will not just stand by and watch.

After all, if Ye Xuan continues to grow stronger, it would be the greatest challenge to their power and status.

Ye Xuan stood above the North Dark Ice Plain, his figure illuminated by divine light like a god.

He felt the starlight Origin aura coming from the depths of the abyss, faintly resonating with his own chaos dao seed, and his gaze grew sharp.

He had set up a grand array with the intention of protecting the Ziwei Great Emperor Star from harm, but it had unexpectedly led to the discovery of the Emperor Star's secret.

However, blessings and misfortunes are intertwined.

This might also become an Opportunity for the Ye family.

It seems the peaceful days are completely over.

Those forces that had originally fallen silent will likely appear once again.

And what he needs to do is kill all these incoming enemies.

"Pass down the order!"

Ye Xuan's voice instantly rang in the ears of every core member of the Ye family.

"Fully seal the Ye Family Secret Realm! Without my command, no one is allowed near the North Dark Ice Plain! Tang Linglong, Fire Linger, Yan Ruyu, Ye Yao Ru, follow me to investigate first!"

"Yes, husband!"

"Yes, Teacher."

The women nodded together.

This time, Ye Xuan planned to bring Ye Yao Ru along; her Physique had been completely liberated, and she only lacked an Opportunity to truly soar.

And right now was an Opportunity.

Ye Xuan did not hesitate at all. With Chaos Qi swirling around him, he protected Tang Linglong, Fire Linger, Yan Ruyu, and Ye Yao Ru, and they turned into a streak of light, charging straight into the massive abyss that had split open in the North Dark Ice Plain.

Upon entering the abyss, the surrounding scenery instantly changed.

The original bone-chilling cold was replaced by a gentle yet majestic starlight power. Their surroundings were no longer cold rock walls, but a passage seemingly constructed from countless compressed starlight, vibrant and dreamlike.

Powerful spatial fluctuations appeared; clearly, a spatial Restriction was set at this entrance to teleport them to where the true Imperial Palace was located.

"Be careful, guard your mind!"

Ye Xuan spoke to remind them. He could feel a trace of ancient pressure contained within this starlight power, which had a significant impact on one's Divine Soul.

The women all had extraordinary cultivation. Upon hearing this, they immediately circulated their Cultivation Techniques to guard their spirit platforms.

Ye Yao Ru's cultivation was slightly weaker, but under Ye Xuan's protection, she was fine. Instead, she curiously observed the strange starlight passage.

She could feel a certain power within her body faintly resonating with the surrounding starlight power.

The Nine Profound True Spirit Body was already extremely special. Although it was only a Great Emperor's Physique, it was comparable to an immortal body.

A moment later, the path ahead suddenly opened up.

After everyone landed, they found themselves in a vast starlight square.

The square was paved with an unknown Silver Star-Gold, smooth as a mirror, reflecting the boundless starry dome above.

Above the dome was not the actual Universe, but a profound star map composed of countless starlight Origin projections, slowly rotating and mysteriously unfathomable.

At the end of the square stood a towering and massive palace.

The palace seemed to be carved entirely from pure purple-gold star cores, emitting an ancient and majestic imperial pressure.

On the plaque, four large characters were written in ancient Divine Script.

Ziwei Imperial Palace!

Just standing on the square and looking at the palace gates from afar, everyone felt an extremely powerful pressure.

And in front of the palace gates stood a statue.

Having weathered the baptism of endless ages, the statue had long since become blurred, yet it still radiated a powerful pressure.

Standing before the statue, everyone felt as if they were having an audience with an emperor who ruled over the heavens.

"So this is the Ziwei Imperial Palace..."

Tang Linglong's beautiful eyes sparkled with brilliance. She could feel that the starlight Dao Laws contained here were more complete than anywhere else she had ever encountered.

"Such rich starlight Origin. Cultivating here, advancing a thousand miles in a single day is no exaggeration."

Yan Ruyu said softly. Possessing a special Physique, she was extremely sensitive to the Origin Qi of heaven and earth.

Moreover, the starlight power held great use for her.

After all, the Azure Lotus Demon Emperor's own Cultivation Technique was cultivated using endless starlight power and was incredibly strong.

The flames around Fire Linger flickered slightly, seemingly somewhat repelled by the pure starlight power here.

Nirvana Fire possessed the power of extreme Yang, while the Spiritual Qi here contained a large amount of Starlight Yin Power, causing her some discomfort.

Ye Yao Ru slightly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, a comfortable expression appearing on her face.

Her Nine Profound True Spirit Body was like a fish in water here. Without any guidance, the surrounding starlight power spontaneously surged into her body, nourishing her Meridians and Divine Soul.

Ye Xuan's gaze swept across the square, finally settling on the long staircase leading to the Imperial Palace gates.

The stairs had a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, each inscribed with different star runes, emitting varying levels of Restriction fluctuations.

"It seems entering the Imperial Palace won't be easy."

Ye Xuan said indifferently.

He could feel that the square and the stairs themselves were the first trial.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Ye Xuan had just finished speaking.

Around the square, the star stone pillars that originally looked like decorations suddenly lit up with dazzling light.

The light condensed, turning into figures clad in starlight battle armor and holding spears and halberds condensed from starlight power.

These figures were not flesh and blood, but were condensed from pure starlight power and ancient fighting will.

A full hundred Starlight War Puppets had cold silver light ignite in their eyes as they locked onto Ye Xuan and the others.

Their auras varied in strength; the weakest were comparable to True Immortals, and several among them even emitted fluctuations at the Immortal King level!

"Intruders, halt!"

The leader, an exceptionally tall puppet with the Big Dipper pattern inscribed on its armor, let out a cold voice, its starlight spear pointing directly at Ye Xuan's group.

"It seems we won't get in without defeating these gatekeepers."

Fire Linger raised an eyebrow, and the flames around her erupted, turning into a massive flame Phoenix, with a Torch Dragon phantom coiling behind her, ready to act at any moment.

"Yao Ru, stay close to me."

Yan Ruyu shielded Ye Yao Ru behind her, raising her jade-like hand. A green lotus emitting soft light appeared in her hand, releasing ripples of purification.

This green lotus was the green lotus emperor weapon. Since Ye Xuan no longer needed an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, he had given it to Yan Ruyu, effectively returning it to its original owner.
