158: Cangxuan changes hands, the gate to all realms

Inside the Divine Hall, there was a deathly silence.

The God Emperor… had fallen?!

A living, supreme being who had ruled over their faith for tens of thousands of years, was… was just like that, before their eyes, blasted apart with a single punch by a young man who had just “broken through in battle”?!

“Father… Imperial Father…”

Ji Yueyao collapsed onto the cold black divine metal floor, her pale golden eyes, which had been filled with endless despair, now only held endless… hollowness and bewilderment.

Lin Ye slowly withdrew his fist.

His black and white divine robe, woven from light and darkness, rustled without wind in the dim light of the Divine Hall, flapping loudly.

He slowly turned around, his calm eyes sweeping over the several “Prodigies” who were already scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, slumped on the ground.

Feng Xinglie fell to his knees with a “thump,” prostrating himself before Lin Ye in front of everyone!

“Lin… Lin… No! Divine Venerable Sir! Divine Venerable Sir, spare my life!” He kowtowed incoherently, his voice becoming sharp and piercing due to extreme fear, “I… I, Feng Xinglie, was blind and failed to recognize a great figure! I offended the Divine Venerable! Please… please, Divine Venerable, spare me, considering my difficult cultivation, and just let me go like a fart!”

“This humble one… is also willing… to be a slave for life, only begging… Divine Venerable to spare my life!” The alluring woman had long since turned pale with fright, desperately tearing at her already revealing clothes, attempting to use her last bit of capital to gain a chance at survival.

Lin Ye ignored them. A hint of resolve flashed in his calm eyes.

“From today onwards, Tianxuan City has changed its master.”

He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but every word was resonant, like a final decree, exploding in the depths of everyone’s Divine Soul!

“And I am… the new Dominator!”

...Three days later.

When the hundreds of millions of beings in Tianxuan City finally recovered from the sudden change in “Imperial Might,” a piece of news that was enough to shake the entire Cangxuan Divine Realm spread like wildfire, instantly reaching every corner!

The Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor… had fallen!

The new Emperor, Lin Ye, ascended the throne!

For a time, the entire Tianxuan City was plunged into an unprecedented… panic and chaos!

Countless aristocratic families and powerhouses who were still loyal to the Heavenly Profound Imperial Family rose up, attempting to claim a share in this power vacuum!

However, before their flames of rebellion could fully ignite—

A terrifying giant hand, woven from pure light and darkness, descended like a divine punishment from the Nine Heavens, pressing down with a thunderous crash from the Peak of Tianshu Peak!

With just one palm strike!

The dozens of rebellious aristocratic families, who had been aggressive and arrogant, along with their mountain gates and their foundations, were instantly… razed to the ground like fragile sandboxes!

Demigods… like ants! Dharma Bodies… like dust!

On that day, blood flowed like rivers throughout Tianxuan City!

On that day, all beings finally personally experienced the terrifying methods of this new Emperor… like a God and Demon!

Immediately after, a decree was issued from Tianshu Peak, spreading throughout the entire Divine Realm!

“Effective immediately, the ancient ‘Chaos God-Demon’ lineage… shall be vindicated!”

“Those formerly known as ‘Fallen Gods’ were all… heroes who fell in the ancient divine wars while defending freedom!”

“The Heavenly Profound Imperial Family, for its ancestor’s betrayal and usurpation of the divine throne, its crime… deserves execution!”

The worldview, faith, and even… Dao System that had been established in the entire Cangxuan Divine Realm for tens of thousands of years were all completely… shattered at this moment!

“Effective immediately, Tianxuan Divine City shall be… temporarily managed by Princess Ji Yueyao!”

“All matters within the city shall be… fully decided by her!”

...Tianshu Peak, Peak.

Before the thatched hut.

Lin Ye stood quietly, overlooking the vast divine city below, which, though still prosperous, had already secretly completed its power transition.

Beside him, a beautiful figure in white, whiter than snow, quietly appeared.

“Are you really going?”

A hint of unease flashed in Su Qingyue’s cold eyes.

She had finally, with the help of massive resources and “divine source crystals,” successfully passed the divine tribulation, condensed the “Ice Heart Divine Spark,” and stepped into the long-desired… Peak Realm of a Demigod in one fell swoop!

However, she knew that the gap between herself and the man beside her had not only not narrowed, but had instead… widened.

“Yes.” Lin Ye nodded, slowly turning around, a trace of tenderness flashing in his dark eyes, “This place is, after all, too small.”

He slowly raised his hand, and the ancient bronze small door, which had perfectly fused with the fragment in his palm after he killed the Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor, forming a complete door, quietly floated in his palm.

“It’s time to retrieve… that Legacy which rightfully belongs to them.”

Su Qingyue said nothing more, only nodding silently… Lost Divine Hall.

When Lin Ye and Su Qingyue once again stepped into this ancient hall filled with endless silence and desolation.

The thousand-zhang-tall bronze giant door, as if drawn by some mysterious force, slowly… opened for them!

Lin Ye held Su Qingyue’s hand and calmly, step by step, walked into the vast hall.

He slowly walked to the giant mural.

He gently pressed the ancient bronze small door, which was already connected to his Bloodline, onto the fourth mural, into the broken… “heart” groove!

“Buzz—!!!!!!!!!”

On the mural, the leader of the Chaos God-Demon, who had been pierced through the heart by a betrayer’s sword, his previously dimmed eyes suddenly erupted with an unextinguishable battle fire, powerful enough to incinerate all Heavenly Gods and Buddhas!

“My descendant…”

A vast voice, filled with endless vicissitudes and… relief, as if spanning hundreds of millions of years of time, clearly exploded in the depths of Lin Ye and Su Qingyue’s Divine Souls!

“You, after all… have come!”

Boom!!!

Before Lin Ye and the other could recover from this earth-shattering anomaly!

The ancient mural suddenly transformed into a vast, boundless… golden ocean, composed of the purest Legacy runes!

The ocean, as if finding an outlet, frantically poured into Lin Ye and Su Qingyue’s minds, which were already blank with shock!

“Chaos God-Demon Suppressing Prison Scripture”! “Nine Revolutions Pill God Art”! “Myriad Realms Stars (Ultimate Chapter)”! “Void Realm Divine Escape”!… Ancient supreme divine arts that had been lost for hundreds of millions of years! Scenes of battle insights filled with endless slaughter and profoundness! Sections about the ultimate mysteries of the higher Realm above “God Emperor”!

Like force-feeding, they were forcibly imprinted into the deepest parts of their Souls!

...Who knows how long passed.

When the vast golden ocean finally slowly calmed down.

Lin Ye and Su Qingyue, as if exhausted, suddenly opened their eyes!

They looked at each other, and both could see the indescribable… shock in the other’s eyes!

And it was at this moment!

The bronze giant door, which had already merged with the mural, once again emitted a violent hum!

It slowly transformed into a dark, bottomless, constantly rotating… terrifying vortex!

From the other end of the vortex, ancient Auras that were even more vast, more… sacred, and even more… dangerous faintly emanated!

“Ding!”

In Lin Ye’s mind, the cold System prompt sounded with a thunderous crash, like a final destiny!

“Coordinates of the ‘Center of the Myriad Realms Divine Domain’ detected…”

“Ultimate series quest updated—”

“—” “Conquer the Myriad Realms, Ascend the Divine Throne”!

“Quest Objective: Enter the ‘Center of the Myriad Realms Divine Domain’ and ascend to the legendary… Supreme Divine Throne!”

Lin Ye slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

He turned his head and looked at the beautiful figure beside him, who had already entrusted all her trust and future to him.

He slowly extended his right hand towards her.

“Qingyue,” a smile filled with endless anticipation and… fanaticism curved on his evil and handsome face, “Are you ready?”

Su Qingyue did not speak.

She just nodded heavily.

“Then… ”

Lin Ye’s eyes erupted with an unprecedented brilliant light!

“—Depart!”
