460: Chapter 460 The Heavenly Emperor (25)

A heavy silence fell beside the Qiankun Creation Pool.

After Ye Yun used thunderous methods to cripple several top prodigies, all the surviving prodigies on the scene were as quiet as cicadas in winter, their eyes filled with fear and awe.

No one dared to harbor even a shred of greed toward that Creation Pool anymore.

"The Guiyi Realm... to be able to sweep through a crowd of top Grotto-Heaven Realm prodigies. If he were allowed to step into the Grotto-Heaven Realm, what kind of sight would that be?"

"As expected of the Desolate Heaven Great Emperor's Bloodline. In this generation, the Ye family is likely to produce an eternally unparalleled Great Emperor."

A burst of whispers rose from the crowd as everyone proactively backed away, clearing a path for the two from the Ye family, not even daring to look the youth directly in the eye.

Ye Yun ignored the reactions of others. He turned and walked to Ye Wuchen's side, helping him up.

"Brother Wuchen, this Opportunity belongs to you. Refine it with peace of mind; I will act as your Protector."

Ye Wuchen looked at Ye Yun, his eyes full of gratitude. He nodded heavily, no longer acting reserved.

Under Ye Yun's protection, he stepped into the Qiankun Creation Pool.

The Chaos-colored liquid in the pool instantly enveloped him, and surges of pure Origin power flooded frantically into his body.

Atop the mountain Peak, various phenomena appeared.

A massive Qiankun Map slowly unfurled behind Ye Wuchen, with the sun, moon, and stars revolving upon it, radiating an ancient and vast aura.

Ye Wuchen's aura began to climb steadily. His already powerful Qiankun Sacred Body, under the washing of this majestic Origin power, successfully broke through to the Realm of 'Minor Achievement'.

A brand new Bloodline Divine Ability quietly awakened in the depths of his Divine Soul.

"Qiankun Reversal!"

After a long time, Ye Wuchen leapt out from the pool. Feeling the unprecedented surging power within his body, his confidence soared.

"If I face that Wuji Sword Son again now, the outcome would be uncertain!" he thought to himself.

Right at that moment, the entire Grand Beginning Secret Realm suddenly underwent a violent tremor.

A medicinal fragrance and life aura, rich to the extreme, swept in from another direction of the Secret Realm.

On the horizon, ten thousand zhang of rosy light soared into the sky, faintly accompanied by lingering celestial music and the resonance of the Great Dao.

"Such a terrifying aura of a great medicine."

"Could it be that an immortal medicine has appeared!"

Someone cried out in surprise.

The gazes of all the prodigies were drawn by that phenomenon. One after another, they turned into streaks of light, charging frantically toward 그 direction.

"Imperial Son, we..." Ye Wuchen looked toward Ye Yun.

"Let's go see."

Ye Yun's expression was calm as he set off together with Ye Wuchen.

The speed of the two was the fastest. In almost an instant, they were the first to arrive at the valley where the divine medicine appeared.

An immortal medicine, its entire body flowing with brilliant colors as if condensed from Dao talismans, was rooted in the center of the valley.

Its intelligence was extremely high. The moment it sensed someone approaching, it burst out of the ground and turned into a streak of light, seemingly wanting to escape into the Void Realm.

Ye Yun gave a cold snort, just about to strike and suppress it.

At that moment, five figures, also fast to the extreme, descended from the sky in a pincer formation, blocking his and Ye Wuchen's path.

The newcomers wore uniform crimson-gold battle armor, their auras powerful and expressions arrogant. The strength of every single one was not weaker than the newly-ascended Ye Wuchen.

The leader was even a Peak Grotto-Heaven Realm expert, surrounded by an imperial posture, clearly a leading figure of some top-tier power.

"People from the Eastern Heavenly Court," Ye Wuchen said in a low voice, his expression solemn.

Some prodigies with 'Quasi-Emperor potential' who followed closely behind felt apprehensive the moment they saw Ye Yun confronting these people from the Eastern Heavenly Court. After hesitating, they wisely chose to retreat, not wanting to participate in a struggle of this level.

"Fellow Daoists of the Eastern Dao Province, this item is destined for our Eastern Heavenly Court."

The leading Prodigy of the Eastern Heavenly Court spoke with overbearing words, directly demanding the immortal medicine.

Ye Yun originally had little interest in this divine medicine; his Foundation had long surpassed the scope of such an item.

But as he drew closer, the third Saint Eye at the center of his brow twitched slightly.

From that immortal medicine, he actually sensed an aura belonging to 'Grand Beginning'.

Ye Yun instantly understood that this immortal medicine was very likely planted by the Great Emperor Taichu himself. It might even be the most critical clue to finding the Grand Beginning Legacy.

This medicine must be taken.

"Destined?" Ye Yun looked at the other party and spoke indifferently, "I don't see it that way."

"Seeking death!"

The Prodigy of the Eastern Heavenly Court was thoroughly enraged, and a great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

The leader went directly against Ye Yun, while the other four split up—one to entangle Ye Wuchen, and the remaining three to assist from the side in besieging Ye Yun.

Within the valley, an imperial battle erupted.

Ye Yun fought one against four. Relying on the powerful Physical Body of his Perfection Saint Body and supreme Sword Dao, he could barely hold his own in the Early Stage.

However, the four opponents were all Grotto-Heaven Realm experts with tacit cooperation, and their cultivation Realms were all higher than his.

Gradually, Ye Yun was completely suppressed, forced back step by step into an unprecedented predicament.

On the other side, after his Breakthrough, Ye Wuchen's strength had greatly increased. He was locked in a difficult battle with that Eastern Heavenly Court Prodigy, unable to pull away to provide support.

"It's over!"

The leading Prodigy of the Eastern Heavenly Court seized an Opportunity. The four joined forces, and a world-destroying torrent of Law blasted toward Ye Yun. They seemed to see the dawn of victory.

Ye Yun feigned defeat. An instant before being submerged by that torrent of Law, his eyes shifted slightly.

"Light of the Epoch."

A mysterious power erupted from his fingertips, causing the surrounding space to freeze for a split second.

Seizing this Opportunity, Ye Yun's figure instantly vanished from the spot, appearing directly in front of the immortal medicine that was about to flee.

Using thunderous methods, with a great wave of his hand, he forcibly suppressed the immortal medicine and tucked it into his pocket.

"Brother Wuchen, go!"

Ye Yun sent a voice transmission to Ye Wuchen. The two had great chemistry, turning into two streaks of light that tore through the Void Realm, instantly escaping in two completely different directions.

"Bastard!"

By the time the people from the Eastern Heavenly Court reacted, they had long since lost the tracks of the two, leaving them only to roar in anger on the spot.

...

Inside a hidden cave, Ye Yun and Ye Wuchen successfully rendezvoused.

Ye Yun took out the brilliant immortal medicine. He was in no hurry to refine it, instead activating his third Saint Eye and Heart Heavy Pupils to see through its Origin.

Under his Saint Eye, he clearly saw that this immortal medicine had fled all the way from its place of birth to here, leaving behind an extremely faint trail in the Void Realm composed of 'Grand Beginning aura'.

"Found it," Ye Yun explained his discovery to Ye Wuchen.

"Following this trail, we will surely be able to find the Great Emperor Taichu's true Legacy site."

Hearing this, Ye Wuchen's expression grew excited.

The two delayed no longer, concealing all their auras and following the trail that only Ye Yun could see, exploring toward the deeper, unknown regions of the Secret Realm.
