472: Chapter 472 The Heavenly Emperor (37)

Above the altar in the Primordial Ruins.

The forces of Yin and Yang completely fused within Ye Yun's body.

An unprecedented, intense resonance erupted within his Divine Sea.

The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body let out a heaven-shaking roar.

At the exact moment this resonance reached its Peak.

A clear yet ethereal set of coordinates flashed through Ye Yun's Divine Sea.

Those coordinates were filled with a desolate, ancient, and overbearing aura.

The Desolate Palace!

Ye Yun immediately realized that this was the call of the "Desolate Palace."

This resonance, originating from the deepest part of his Bloodline, was like a shooting star—gone in an instant.

Once missed, there would be no other chance.

He snapped his eyes open, his gaze sweeping over the members of the Liu Family nearby, who were still frantically absorbing the dissipating energy with faces full of gratitude.

Ye Yun's gaze turned cold.

The Liu Family could not be trusted.

"Fifth Ancestor!"

Without hesitation, Ye Yun sent a Divine Thought transmission directly to the Fifth Ancestor, who was resting with his eyes closed.

"The location of the Desolate Palace appeared for a moment. Time is of the essence, and the Liu Family cannot be trusted. We must leave immediately!"

The Fifth Ancestor snapped his eyes open.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He trusted Ye Yun's judgment completely and didn't ask any unnecessary questions.

As an old monster at the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, he instantly understood the gravity of the situation.

The Fifth Ancestor's figure appeared beside Ye Yun in an instant, grabbing him by the shoulder.

Without even glancing at the Liu Family, he waved his hand, and the Void Realm ahead was forcibly torn open.

Taking Ye Yun with him, the Fifth Ancestor stepped inside, and their figures vanished instantly.

All that remained was a rapidly shrinking spatial rift, as if it had never existed.

This sudden turn of events left the Liu Family members dumbfounded.

The Liu Family's Quasi-Emperor matriarch, Liu Qing, was broken into a cold sweat by the Fifth Ancestor's undisguised, terrifying pressure.

She stared blankly at the vanishing rift, her face pale.

"What... what did we do wrong?"

...

Within the endless darkness of the Void Realm, amidst the chaotic spatial turbulence.

The Fifth Ancestor protected Ye Yun with supreme power as they traversed the pitch-black spatial tunnel at extreme speed.

Their speed was so great that the endless starry sky turned into blurred streaks of light.

However, Ye Yun's expression grew increasingly solemn.

The coordinate resonance from the Desolate Palace was rapidly weakening.

Various violent spatial storms and shattered spatial faults within the Void Realm constantly interfered with his tracking.

"Fifth Ancestor, the direction is off!"

Ye Yun activated his Heavenly Eye and Heart Heavy Pupils, pushing both ocular techniques to their limits.

Amidst the chaotic energy, he struggled to capture that faint thread of resonance.

"Thirty thousand miles to the front-left, through that meteor belt—the sensation is behind it!"

Without a word, the Fifth Ancestor's massive Divine Thought instantly locked onto the direction Ye Yun indicated.

He executed every one of Ye Yun's instructions without the slightest doubt.

His power at the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm erupted fully; with a single palm strike, he forcibly blasted a safe passage through the massive meteor belt that was enough to shred a Saint's Physical Body.

However, just as they passed through the meteor belt, Ye Yun's brow furrowed again.

"No, the aura is being distorted by the spatial turbulence ahead. We have to go around!"

"Hold on tight!"

The Fifth Ancestor barked. Shrouded in divine light, he used his great magic to force his way through the chaotic Void Realm, narrowly avoiding a massive spatial rift capable of swallowing a Great Saint.

...

An unknown amount of time passed.

When that faint resonance finally became clear again, the two of them slowly came to a halt.

Ye Yun and the Fifth Ancestor fell silent as they looked at the scene before them.

"Is it here?"

The Fifth Ancestor's powerful Divine Thought swept out, covering a million miles of the Void Realm, yet he still found nothing.

There was nothing here.

The Desolate Palace did not seem to exist in this space.

Ye Yun's gaze, however, became incredibly determined.

He knew that he himself was the final key.

He stepped out of the Flying Boat and floated alone in this cold Void Realm.

In the next moment, he no longer suppressed anything.

Boom!

He pushed his Perfection of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body to its limit.

A pillar of golden Qi and blood surged from his body toward the heavens.

The golden pillar of light illuminated the darkness.

A supreme pressure unique to the Sacred Body lineage transformed into invisible ripples, spreading through the dead silence of the Void Realm.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

The Void Realm began to vibrate violently.

Under their watchful eyes.

The nothingness ahead began to twist and fold.

A magnificent ancient hall flashed into view.

Upon its walls were inscribed the vicissitudes of eternity, exuding a desolate and overbearing aura that spanned countless eras.

Countless massive, shattered stars, like dust, formed rust-covered chains that encircled the hall.

It seemed as if they were suppressing something, yet also as if they were guarding something.

Seeing this scene, even someone as strong as the Fifth Ancestor—a Peak Quasi-Emperor who had lived for untold years and had long since become indifferent to the world's affairs—couldn't help but lose himself for a moment.

Feeling the overbearing aura that shared the same source as the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, his eyes were filled with gratification and excitement.

However, just as a clearly visible and incredibly overbearing emblem was exposed to them in the starry sky above where the ancient hall had flashed and vanished.

The excitement and gratification on the Fifth Ancestor's face instantly froze.

It was replaced by shock and disbelief.

That emblem was not the legendary totem of the Sacred Body lineage.

Instead, it was a ferocious, overbearing black iron crown.

Beneath the crown were two crossed giant axes, stained with the blood of countless experts.

"This... this is..."

The Fifth Ancestor's voice trembled violently as he stared intently at the emblem, as if seeing something he had never expected.

"This is the emblem of the Hegemon Palace!"

"The Legacy of the Heavenly Tyrant Body lineage, which is as famous as the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body lineage!"

He suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Yun, who was equally stunned, his voice filled with shock and confusion.

"Yun'er, why did your Bloodline resonance... lead us to the Ancestral Land of the Tyrant Body?"
