448: Chapter 448 The Heavenly Emperor (13)

"Let us reverse the situation."

On Ye Yun's Divine Soul, the gray light that had undergone Fusion with Chaos Qi bloomed resplendently.

That light was not dazzling; it even appeared somewhat ordinary.

But the moment it lit up, the violent, eerie black mist surrounding him hissed in fear, as if encountering a natural predator, and instinctively retreated.

Absolute suppression.

Absolute crushing.

The terrifying pressure that had previously made it difficult for Ye Yun's Divine Soul to even move an inch dissipated into nothingness.

Feeling this brand-new power within his body, which seemed to tower above all else, Ye Yun felt completely at ease.

Without any further hesitation, his Divine Soul took a step forward.

The gray light swept out with his movement, and wherever it passed, the black mist quickly dissolved and was purified.

The Origin of that eerie power sensed the arrival of its doom; it began to frantically contract and condense, attempting a final resistance.

However, in the face of Chaos Qi, everything was futile.

Just as Ye Yun was preparing to use the power of Chaos to completely erase this eerie Origin.

The nine-story small tower within his body, which had been silent for a long time, appeared without warning.

It hovered above Ye Yun's Divine Soul, emitting an ancient aura, while cyan runes flowed endlessly across the tower's body.

Hum!

The small tower emitted a soft chime, and its base seemed to transform into a bottomless vortex.

An irresistible suction force emanated from that vortex.

In the face of this suction, the struggling, eerie Origin could not even manage a shred of resistance.

Like a whale drinking water, it was completely swallowed and suppressed by the small tower.

As the last trace of the eerie black mist was absorbed, this Sea of Consciousness that had been eroded finally returned to clarity.

Just at this moment, a faint fragment of information was fed back from within the small tower and merged into Ye Yun's Divine Soul.

Ye Yun's body trembled slightly.

From this information fragment, he clearly perceived that the essence of this absorbed eerie power was almost identical to the Origin of the ten curse shackles within his body.

However, by comparison, this power appeared more impure and of a lower level.

"As expected..."

Ye Yun understood, confirming his suspicions.

This eerie power was definitely inextricably linked to the "great terror" that caused the disappearance of the Great Emperors throughout the ages.

Perhaps it was destined that he came to this world.

With his Sea of Consciousness restored to calm, Ye Yun turned around and looked at the petite figure still bound by black chains, curled up in the corner.

He reached out his hand, and the gray power of Chaos transformed into a soft light that gently brushed over her.

Snap.

The black chains binding the Saintess shattered at the sound and turned into nothingness.

With the confinement lifted, the Saintess's tightly closed eyes fluttered, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she slowly opened them.

Her eyes were hollow, filled with the terror of having just survived a catastrophe.

She only vaguely remembered that in the endless darkness and despair, a young boy's figure had appeared like light.

He said.

"Don't be afraid, I am here."

These words were deeply imprinted in the depths of her Divine Soul.

She subconsciously raised her head and met Ye Yun's calm eyes.

It was him.

It was him.

The Saintess's consciousness was still blurry, but her Divine Soul instinctively developed a sense of absolute trust and reliance on the youth before her.

Ye Yun noticed that although the Saintess's Divine Soul had been saved, it was extremely weak from being eroded for too long and was in danger of collapsing again at any moment.

He did not hesitate and took the initiative to hold her illusory Divine Soul hand.

"I will take you out."

His palm was warm, conveying a sense of reassuring power.

The Saintess did not resist, letting him lead her, step by step, out of the dark purgatory that had plagued her for countless days and nights.

...

Inside the bedchamber.

The moment Ye Yun and the Saintess's Divine Souls returned to their Physical Bodies.

Both of them opened their eyes at the same time.

"Imperial Son!"

"Your Highness Saintess!"

Outside, the Ruler of the Sacred Dynasty and the Great Saint of the Ye family, who had already been anxious, saw this scene, and their expressions turned from despair to ecstasy.

They were saved!

...

Meanwhile.

In an unknown, dark space shrouded in endless Devilish Qi.

A devilish palace made of piled-up white bones stood quietly within it.

On the throne of the devilish palace, a mysterious man shrouded in black robes sat cross-legged.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of black devilish blood sprayed from his mouth.

His face was full of disbelief, and his Divine Thought surged frantically.

"How is this possible!"

"The wisp of 'Immortal Power' I left inside the Saintess of the Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty has actually been completely erased!"

He was furious and horrified.

That "Immortal Power" was not his own power, but a supreme treasure bestowed upon him by that "Lord" behind him.

Each wisp was extremely precious.

It was the Foundation he used to control subordinates and erode an Orthodoxy.

Now, it was lost.

He knew very well that he could not bear the consequences of its loss.

"Who exactly is it!"

He closed his eyes, sparing no cost to his own Origin, and began to frantically trace back through the last remaining connection.

Soon, an image appeared in his mind.

It was a youth wearing brocade clothes with a golden vertical eye in the center of his forehead.

Holy Light surrounded his body, and behind him were visions of gods and demons roaring and stars appearing.

That pure power of Qi and blood made even him, a Quasi-Emperor level powerhouse, feel a hint of heart palpitations.

"Desolate Ancient Sacred Body..."

The mysterious man muttered to himself, his eyes full of confusion.

"And it is... an Desolate Ancient Sacred Body that has broken free from all shackles and reached Perfection!"

He was completely shocked.

His original plan was to gradually erode and control the Saintess through that wisp of "Immortal Power," and then turn the entire Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty into an important stronghold for him to encroach upon the Ye family's influence.

But despite all his calculations, he had not expected that the Ye family would send an Imperial Son in person.

Even less did he expect that this rumored cursed Ancient Desolate Wasteland Body was actually a hidden Desolate Ancient Sacred Body with Perfection!

This completely disrupted all his deployments.

"No..."

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the mysterious man's eyes.

"This boy must not be left alive!"

The potential of an Desolate Ancient Sacred Body that had broken free from the curse and reached Perfection was immeasurable.

Once he was allowed to grow up, he would definitely become the biggest variable in that "Lord's" plan.

He must be completely eradicated before his wings were fully grown!

The mysterious man used a secret technique again to begin investigating the defensive forces of the Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty at this moment.

Soon, he discovered that the strongest person sent by the Ye family on this trip was only an Elder who had just entered the Great Saint Realm.

And that newly emerged Imperial Son, although his Sacred Body was at Perfection, his cultivation seemed to be... only at the Body Tempering Realm?

"Hahaha! Heaven helps me!"

The mysterious man let out a burst of wild laughter.

He did not hesitate any longer and decided to descend in person, resolving this "accident" with thunderous force.

He stood up abruptly and took a step forward.

The space in front of him was forcibly torn apart by a terrifying force.

His massive body directly spanned the endless distance and appeared above the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty.

Boom!

A Quasi-Emperor might, far exceeding that of a Great Saint and sufficient to make the heavens and earth tremble, instantly shrouded the entire Imperial Palace like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking.

Inside the bedchamber, the Ruler of the Sacred Dynasty, the Great Saint of the Ye family, and the others had not yet let their ecstasy fade when they were terrified by this sudden, horrifying pressure, causing their Divine Souls to tremble.
