414: Chapter 414 Resurrection (32)

The Mandate of Heaven surrounded Wang Yun, emitting a joyful cheer that sounded like the profound music of the Great Dao.

Wang Yun felt the supreme power that was about to completely merge with him, and his heart was filled with a thousand emotions.

He had waited too long for this moment, and the journey had been far too difficult; this was a long-overdue emperor seat.

In his previous life, he started with his bones being dug out and his fortune stolen, leading a miserable childhood. If not for meeting Old Mo, he would have died young. Later, he suppressed his generation with his Supreme Body and quelled the Dark Turmoil. He should have been the undisputed protagonist of that era, ascending to the emperor seat and looking down upon eternity.

However, that "indestructible will" became his greatest obstacle, forcing him to helplessly choose to sever himself at his most glorious moment, giving up everything to start over.

Living a second life, he spent endless years within Chaos to forge this Yin-Yang Indestructible Body, hacking through thorns and brambles to finally arrive here once again.

All his efforts and all his endurance would be rewarded at this very moment.

The position of Great Emperor was within reach.

Even Wang Yun's state of mind, which had experienced countless storms, could not help but ripple at this moment, but he quickly suppressed all emotions.

His gaze returned to calmness as he slowly reached out his hand, prepared to receive this glory that had been delayed for an entire era.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch that radiance, at the very instant he was about to take that final step and ascend to the emperor seat—

An extremely subtle aura that caused a stinging pain in his Divine Soul flashed by.

This aura was fleeting, yet it made him tremble because he seemed to have felt it somewhere before.

If he hadn't forged the Yin-Yang Indestructible Body in this life, he likely wouldn't have been able to capture this flash of abnormality at all.

Even with the Supreme Body at its Peak in his previous life, he definitely wouldn't have noticed it.

This aura...

Chaos, greed, destruction, ominousness.

It was filled with a total disregard for all living beings.

It was exactly like the essence of the "indestructible will."

"Could it be that the indestructible will has revived?"

As soon as this thought arose, Wang Yun dismissed it himself.

"No, definitely not."

He had contended with the indestructible will for long years and was intimately familiar with it; furthermore, Wang Yun had absolute confidence in the self-severing of the Taiyi Transformation into Two Pure Ones.

Although this aura was similar in essence, it was purer and even more... ancient.

Then what exactly was it?

Where exactly had he felt it before?

An unprecedented vigilance rose within Wang Yun's heart.

He was certain that he had come into contact with this aura in some extremely important corner of his memory that he had overlooked.

In the brief moment that Wang Yun's soul was divided by thought, a sudden change occurred.

In that dead starry sky, Ancient Path One—who should have had his Dao Fruit shattered, his Dao Heart collapsed, and become a useless person—actually stood up slowly from the cold darkness.

At this moment, his movements were stiff, his eyes were hollow and lifeless, and there was no expression on his face.

And the source of that eerie aura that felt familiar to Wang Yun was precisely coming from his body.

Wang Yun's heart tightened; he instantly realized something, and his expression changed slightly.

However, it was already too late.

In the next moment, the "Mandate of Heaven" that had been affectionately surrounding him and was about to merge with him suddenly let out an extremely faint wail, as if hearing some irresistible command.

That wail was filled with fear and unwillingness.

It was no longer joyful, no longer cheering.

Even its light dimmed down.

It was forcibly stripped from Wang Yun's surroundings, and then it turned into a streak of light, flying directly toward the walking corpse-like Ancient Path One.

That was not a Fusion.

Wang Yun saw it clearly; when the light of the Mandate of Heaven approached Ancient Path One, what it showed was not recognition, but extreme compliance and absolute submission.

It circled Ancient Path One, trembling slightly, like a child who had done something wrong, pleading for forgiveness from its master.

The Mandate of Heaven—this represented the will of the era, the will of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!

This supreme Opportunity for attaining the Dao was actually showing submission to a loser!

Wang Yun watched all this quietly, his gaze becoming more solemn than ever before.

The light of the Mandate of Heaven integrated into Ancient Path One's body.

The Dao Fruit inside him, which had been shattered and broken, was instantly repaired by a certain force.

Not only that.

After being repaired, his Dao Fruit was frantically driven by an external force, forcibly pushed toward an unprecedented Peak.

"Boom!"

A vast and boundless Imperial Might that reigned above the ten thousand Daos suddenly erupted from Ancient Path One's body.

This Imperial Might instantly swept through the entire starry sky.

He succeeded; a Great Emperor.

Ancient Path One successfully attained the Dao, becoming the new Great Emperor of this era.

His emperor seat was incredibly stable, as if it had been waiting here for eternity, perfectly fitting with this world.

No, more accurately, it was the Laws of this world that were forced to bow their heads to him, crowning him.

Why? Why did it turn out like this?

Did Ancient Path One have the strength to make this world submit to him?

At the moment Ancient Path One became an Emperor, that ignored memory in Wang Yun's mind finally surfaced clearly before his eyes.

He remembered.

He finally remembered exactly where he had felt this eerie and pure aura before.

It was after the self-severing of the Taiyi Transformation into Two Pure Ones, when for some unknown reason, he had caught a glimpse of a memory fragment regarding the "Dao."

Eerie.

This aura was exactly the same as the eeriness mentioned by the three individuals—"Qing," "Dao," and "Jian"—in his memory.

That was a true Great Terror.

Wang Yun's face became incredibly solemn as he returned from his chaotic thoughts.

At this moment, Ancient Path One had completely stabilized his position as a Great Emperor.

He slowly raised his head, and those hollow eyes regained their luster.

Only, that gaze no longer contained the previous resentment, unwillingness, and madness.

What remained was a cold indifference that viewed all things as ants.

Furthermore, it was an inhuman, absolute dead silence that looked down upon all living beings.

Ancient Path One looked at Wang Yun, his lips pulling into a stiff and strange sneer.

His bone-chilling voice resounded through the entire starry sky, and the terrifying Imperial Might erupted wantonly, making the surrounding Dao Attainers tremble.

"Yun..."

"I want you to die."
