473: Chapter 473 The Heavenly Emperor (38)

"Hegemon Palace?"

The Fifth Ancestor's voice trembled as he stared fixedly at that emblem, as if he had seen something he completely hadn't 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 turned his head to look at Ye Yun beside him, who also had a look of shock, his voice filled with suspicion and confusion.

"Yun'er, why did your Bloodline sensing lead us... to the ancestral land of the Tyrant Body?"

At this moment, Ye Yun's heart was also extremely confused.

The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body and the Heavenly Tyrant Body have been a pair of fated enemies in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces since ancient times.

The two lineages are naturally opposed and have been fighting incessantly since ancient times. Both claim to be invincible within the same realm and want to prove that they are the strongest orthodox branch of the Body Refining school.

The resonance of the Bloodline could never be wrong.

But the guidance of the Bloodline had led him to the lair of his fated enemy.

Behind this, there must be some unknown secret hidden.

The Fifth Ancestor was even more shocked.

Although the Hegemon Palace is not one of the ten Great Imperial Families or the twenty-four Sects, its Legacy has always been passed down to a single person, and every generation's successor is a top-tier Prodigy.

Its foundation is deep and mysterious; it definitely cannot be underestimated.

Entering this place by mistake today, if not handled properly, might trigger an unpredictable fierce battle.

Just as the two were feeling uncertain.

A powerful Aura, no less than that of the Fifth Ancestor, descended from the depths of that starry sky.

That Aura was domineering and fierce, carrying a supreme will.

A burly figure tore through the Void Realm and appeared before the two.

The newcomer wore a simple black robe, but his exposed skin was firm and powerful, full of strength.

He stood there with a steady Aura.

Palace Master of Ba Gong.

A Heavenly Tyrant Body nearing Major Achievement.

"Friends of the Ye Family, I wonder what wind blew you to my remote and desolate place?"

The Palace Master of Ba Gong's voice was loud. He looked at the Fifth Ancestor and Ye Yun, a hint of vigilance and scrutiny in his eyes.

The Fifth Ancestor suppressed the shock on his face and took a step forward, stating his purpose.

"This old man is Ye Huangge. I come this time with no ill intent."

His tone was flat, yet it carried the majesty belonging to a Pseudo-Emperor Peak powerhouse.

"We are only following a Bloodline sensing to find 'Desolate Palace', the lost ancestral land of our Sacred Body lineage, and have no intention of becoming enemies with the Hegemon Palace."

He subtly pointed out his identity as a Ye Family Distant Ancestor and the powerful strength of the Ye Family, which possessed more than one Pseudo-Emperor, as an invisible deterrent.

Hearing this, the Palace Master of Ba Gong frowned slightly.

He was wary of the Ye Family's arrival, but his words were resolute, carrying the pride of the Tyrant Body lineage.

"Desolate Palace?"

He gave a cold snort.

"Although my Tyrant Body lineage has fought with your Sacred Body lineage for countless eras, we have always been open and aboveboard."

"My Hegemon Palace also has its own pride and would never do such a despicable thing as hiding your Legacy's sacred hall."

"You've found the wrong place. Please leave."

While the two were talking, Ye Yun's Heart Heavy Pupils had already quietly opened.

Under his observation, he could confirm that this Palace Master of Ba Gong was not lying; he himself was indeed completely unaware of this matter.

But at the same time, the Sacred Body Bloodline sensing in his body became increasingly intense at this moment.

The source of that resonance was deep within this Star Domain, only isolated by an extremely powerful force.

He no longer hesitated. Ignoring the Palace Master of Ba Gong's increasingly unfriendly gaze, he once again forcibly activated the Sacred Body Bloodline within his body.

Boom!

The golden Qi and blood smoke rose into the sky once more.

This time, that strong sense of resonance was no longer a vague call but turned into an incredibly precise guidance.

Ye Yun's gaze pierced through layers of the Void Realm, locking onto the very core of this Star Domain—a giant tomb shrouded in layers of Restrictions.

"It's inside there!"

Ye Yun said in a deep voice.

The Palace Master of Ba Gong's expression changed instantly.

He let out a roar of anger, and the powerful Tyrant Body's might erupted, shaking the starry sky.

"Impudent!"

"That is my Hegemon Palace's Forbidden Ground, the resting place of an ancestor of my Tyrant Body lineage who almost stepped into the rank of Peak Great Emperor. No one is allowed to disturb it!"

Seeing Ye Yun so certain, the Fifth Ancestor no longer had any doubts.

He also took a step forward, and his Pseudo-Emperor Peak Aura fully erupted, clashing with the Palace Master of Ba Gong's Aura.

"Fellow Daoist, calm your anger."

The Fifth Ancestor's voice became cold.

"Our Ye Family Imperial Scion possesses the posture of a heavenly emperor; his sensing can never be wrong."

"Today, we must enter this tomb."

"If nothing is found inside, my Ye Family will naturally offer a generous gift and apologize."

"But if something is truly found..."

The Fifth Ancestor didn't finish his sentence, but the threat within it was self-evident.

The Palace Master of Ba Gong's face turned ashen as he weighed the pros and cons.

Starting a war with a behemoth like the Ye Family was clearly not a wise move.

Finally, he gnashed his teeth and had to compromise.

"Fine!"

"This seat will make an exception today and let you find out the truth!"

"But let me state the unpleasant truth first: if nothing is found, your Ye Family must leave immediately and announce to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces that you apologize to my Hegemon Palace!"

"It's a deal."

Under the personal leadership of the Palace Master of Ba Gong, everyone passed through layers of Restrictions and arrived before that grand ancestral tomb.

Inside the tomb, the space was vast. Except for a giant stone coffin in the center made of Divine Stone, it was empty, with no abnormalities.

Looking at this empty tomb, the Palace Master of Ba Gong breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of mockery appearing on his face.

"How about it? Friends of the Ye Family, have you seen your Desolate Palace?"

The Fifth Ancestor's brow also furrowed tightly. He looked at Ye Yun, waiting for his judgment.

However, there wasn't a hint of disappointment on Ye Yun's face.

His Heavenly Eye captured a very faint spatial fluctuation in an extremely hidden and inconspicuous corner beside the stone coffin.

"Found it."

Ye Yun didn't waste words. He took a step forward, ignoring the Palace Master of Ba Gong's shocked and angry gaze.

He threw a punch, and the power of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body at Perfection smashed into that seemingly ordinary space.

Crack!

The space shattered like a mirror, and a perfectly hidden independent spatial entrance appeared before everyone.

Behind that entrance, a phantom of a grand hall filled with a desolate and domineering Aura flashed by.

It was indeed the Desolate Palace!

"This... how is this possible!"

The Palace Master of Ba Gong was completely shocked. He couldn't believe that within his own lineage's ancestral tomb, the sacred land of their fated enemy's Legacy was actually hidden.

Their entire Hegemon Palace had been kept in the dark for countless eras.

Just as Ye Yun suppressed the wild joy in his heart and prepared to step into that spatial entrance.

A powerful arm once again blocked him.

Palace Master of Ba Gong.

"Wait."

His expression was incredibly complex—shocked, unwilling, but more than anything, it was an unyielding Battle Intent belonging to the Tyrant Body lineage.

"The Desolate Palace is of great importance and was discovered in my Hegemon Palace's territory. Even if you are the Ye Family Imperial Scion, don't think you can enter easily."

At this moment, a similarly domineering and powerful young Aura came from outside the tomb.

A young man wearing black clothes with sharp eyes walked in slowly.

He was the current successor of the Hegemon Palace.

The Palace Master of Ba Gong looked at his successor, then at Ye Yun, and in a deep voice, he proposed the final condition.

"If you want to enter the Desolate Palace, you can."

"But you must defeat the current successor of my Hegemon Palace in a fair duel."

"Which is stronger, the Sacred Body or the Tyrant Body? There has never been a conclusion since ancient times. Today, let the two of you bring an end to the struggle of this era!"

"This is the final bottom line of my Hegemon Palace!"

After speaking, the young man in black took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Yun.

His eyes, filled with Battle Intent, locked onto Ye Yun.

The duel between fated enemies was on the verge of breaking out.
