509: Chapter 509 The Heavenly Emperor (74)

Clone.

That "Major Achievement Heavenly Tyrant Body" sitting in the Great Love Alliance seat, calm and collected from beginning to end, had only ever been a Clone.

"Damn it!"

"You hiding rat!"

He stopped pretending.

"The Major Achievement Heavenly Tyrant Body is nearby! Pursue him!"

"Capture him, extract the Heavenly Tyrant Body Origin, and present it to that Royal adult of the Sacred Race!"

The venue fell into instant Chaos.

But none of this was within the scope of consideration for the Gongshu Great Emperor Giant.

All of its attention was focused on one goal.

Finding the true body of that Major Achievement Heavenly Tyrant Body.

"Shadow Demon. Void Lock."

Its voice was icy.

As soon as its words fell, two auras emerged from the depths of the Void Realm.

Two fallen Great Emperor Giants.

One skilled in tracking.

One skilled in sealing.

The Shadow Demon Great Emperor Giant didn't waste words, forming hand seals.

A wisp of grayish-black aura drifted from its palm, drew an arc in the Void Realm, and then suddenly pointed northwest.

"There."

"Two million miles away. Moving at high speed."

The Gongshu Great Emperor Giant's killing intent surged.

"Go!"

Three Imperial Might auras erupted simultaneously, tearing through the Void Realm and vanishing from the spot.

Ye Yun pushed his speed to the limit.

The Qi and blood of his Desolate Ancient Sacred Body were suppressed to the minimum, with his exterior only showing the bronze luster of the Heavenly Tyrant Body.

He passed through one broken Star Domain after another, leaving a blurred afterimage behind him.

Buzz.

A sharp pain came from the back of his head.

Something had locked onto him.

Ye Yun frowned.

He tried to use his Double Pupils to strip away that mark, but the thing was embedded too deeply, like a nail driven into his Divine Soul.

Forcibly stripping it away required time, but time was exactly what he lacked now.

Behind him, three Imperial Might auras were closing in at a terrifying speed.

Ye Yun changed direction, attempting to shake off the pursuit.

It was useless.

No matter how he ran, the distance to the three Great Emperor Giants was shrinking bit by bit.

Something even more deadly happened.

The space ahead suddenly became viscous.

Like falling into an invisible quagmire, every step was incredibly heavy.

The Void Lock Great Emperor Giant had made its move.

It didn't need to get close; it only needed to stack space barriers layer by layer on Ye Yun's path forward.

Each layer of barrier wasn't too strong, but when stacked to the third, fourth, and fifth layers, Ye Yun's speed had already dropped to thirty percent of its original.

Ahead were barriers.

Behind were pursuers.

The space on both sides was also contracting, like a giant net closing in.

Ye Yun's expression darkened.

He decisively changed strategy, no longer charging hard against the barriers, but diving downward into a dead star system remnant.

This star system had long been destroyed, filled with floating star fragments and chaotic energy turbulence.

The more complex the environment, the greater the difficulty for tracking and sealing.

Ye Yun wove between the fragments, using the turbulence to interfere with the opponent's lock.

One breath.

Two breaths.

The tracking sensation indeed experienced a brief deviation.

But it was only for a fleeting moment.

The Shadow Demon Great Emperor Giant's voice came from very far away, cold and sinister.

"You can't run."

It corrected the orientation.

The Void Lock Great Emperor Giant's barriers unfolded again, this time no longer layered, but directly setting up a huge space cage centered on the entire star system remnant where Ye Yun was.

An inescapable net.

Ye Yun stopped.

He stood on a huge star fragment and looked around.

Up, down, left, right, all directions were sealed off by distorted space barriers.

Three figures slowly walked out from different directions.

The Gongshu Great Emperor Giant was in the center, its aura the most overbearing.

The Shadow Demon Great Emperor Giant was to the left, its figure like smoke and mist, almost integrated with the Void Realm.

The Void Lock Great Emperor Giant was to the right, surrounded by circle after circle of distorted space ripples.

The three Great Emperor Giants tightly surrounded Ye Yun in the center.

The Gongshu Great Emperor Giant looked at Ye Yun and sneered.

"Finished running?"

Ye Yun did not answer.

He was rapidly calculating every possibility.

A head-on fight?

With the three Great Emperor Giants joining forces, even if he unleashed his full Major Achievement Sacred Body, he could only hold out for a moment.

Faking death?

The opponent said they wanted to capture him alive.

Immortality was of no use in this situation.

Heart Sword?

The Heart Sword could cut through weirdness, but facing the joint defense of three Great Emperor Giants, he might not be able to break through.

Moreover, once the Heart Sword was used, it would expose the secret that he possessed a means to restrain weirdness.

Every path was a dead end.

The Gongshu Great Emperor Giant seemed to have seen through his struggle, its tone becoming "kind."

"Kid, don't waste your efforts."

"I said, we won't kill you."

It took a step forward, the Imperial Might pressing down like a mountain.

"Submit obediently, and perhaps you can suffer less physical pain."

"After that Royal adult obtains your Heavenly Tyrant Body Origin, all disputes in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces will end."

"You should be happy."

"After all—you have always been pursuing peace, haven't you?"

The last sentence carried obvious mockery.

Ye Yun's expression did not change at all.

However, his thoughts were racing.

Capture alive.

The opponent wanted him alive.

This meant they would not deal a lethal blow, at least not at first.

This was his only chance for survival.

The Gongshu Great Emperor Giant stopped wasting words.

It raised its hand.

"Do it."

Three Imperial Might auras erupted simultaneously.

Ye Yun's pupils contracted.

He drove his Heavenly Tyrant Body Origin to the limit, the bronze-colored light wrapping around him.

But he knew very well that this layer of defense was not enough in front of the three Great Emperor Giants.

Just at that moment.

Buzz!

A fluctuation exploded from the deepest part of the Void Realm.

Not an attack.

It was a tearing.

The space cage that the Void Lock Great Emperor Giant had painstakingly set up was shredded like a spider web by someone in front of this power.

The three Great Emperor Giants changed their expressions simultaneously.

"Who!"

A voice came from within the broken space crack.

"Hurry and go!"

Ye Yun looked back.

That mysterious girl had appeared once again.

She stood before a rapidly contracting Chaos passage, holding an ancient token emitting vast Imperial Might high in both hands.

Heavenly Emperor Edict.

On the token, the Law power of the Heavenly Emperor level was burning wildly, maintaining that passage so it wouldn't collapse.

But the Chaos turbulence and space storms surging inside the passage were visibly dangerous.

It was a path of near-death escape.

The girl's face was pale; the consumption of maintaining the Heavenly Emperor Edict had clearly reached her limit.

"This passage can only be maintained for ten breaths!"

She gritted her teeth and shouted.

"I cannot block the Chaos turbulence inside the passage; you must endure it yourself!"

"Hurry!"

Ten breaths.

Ye Yun did not hesitate.

He grabbed the girl's wrist and took her rushing toward that Chaos passage.

"Stop them!"

The Gongshu Great Emperor Giant roared.

The three Great Emperor Giants attacked simultaneously, Imperial-level killing moves booming from three directions.

But the residual power of the Heavenly Emperor Edict lay between them and the passage, blocking those attacks firmly for one breath.

Enough.

Ye Yun took the girl and dived into the passage.

The Chaos turbulence instantly engulfed them.

That power was too terrifying.

The space storm was like countless invisible blades, cutting in from all directions simultaneously.

The Heavenly Emperor Edict in the girl's hand could only maintain the passage itself from collapsing, but the storms inside the passage needed Ye Yun to endure entirely by himself.

The bronze-colored Heavenly Tyrant Body light was torn to shreds in the first breath.

In the second breath, his outer robe turned to dust.

In the third breath, his Physical Body began to show cracks.

The disguise of the Heavenly Tyrant Body simply could not block this level of impact.

Ye Yun's heart sank.

Not enough.

Far from enough.

If he continued to suppress the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, both he and this girl would die in this passage.

There was no choice left.

Ye Yun closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, there was no hesitation in those eyes.

He released all suppression.

Boom!

Golden Qi and blood smoke rose into the sky from within his body.

That was not the bronze light of the Heavenly Tyrant Body.

It was pure, supreme Yang and rigid gold.

Major Achievement Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

The golden Holy Light enveloped both him and the girl, forming an indestructible barrier.

The Chaos turbulence smashed into it.

It shattered.

The space storm slashed over.

It dissipated.

The golden barrier remained motionless.

Ye Yun protected the girl and ran wildly through the Chaos passage.

Seven breaths.

Eight breaths.

Nine breaths.

A glimmer of light appeared at the end of the passage.

Ten breaths.

Boom!

The two rushed out from the other end of the passage and fell into a strange Star Domain.

Behind them, the moment the Heavenly Emperor Edict's energy was exhausted, the passage collapsed with a boom, turning into nothingness.

Safe.

Ye Yun knelt on the ground, golden Holy blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

He was too tired.

Maintaining the Major Achievement Sacred Body to protect two people in the Chaos turbulence for a full ten breaths was an astronomical consumption.

The girl also slumped on the ground, the Heavenly Emperor Edict in her hand having already turned into a pile of ashes.

She gasped for air, her face without a trace of blood.

But she still turned her head and looked at Ye Yun.

To be precise, she was looking at the golden Holy Light on his body that had not yet fully retracted.

Her expression was complex.

And at the last moment before the passage collapsed.

The Gongshu Great Emperor Giant stood at the entrance of the passage, staring fixedly at the last flash of golden light before it disappeared.

Its body stiffened.

The Shadow Demon Great Emperor Giant also stopped its movements.

The Void Lock Great Emperor Giant even widened its eyes.

That aura.

Supreme Yang and rigid, vast and overbearing.

Golden Qi and blood, the power of a Perfection, flawless Sacred Body.

That was not the Heavenly Tyrant Body at all.

The three Great Emperor Giants looked at each other, and the same thought exploded in their minds.

"Desolate Ancient Sacred Body."

The Gongshu Great Emperor Giant's voice trembled.

"Major Achievement Desolate Ancient Sacred Body."

It turned its head abruptly and looked at the other two.

In the three pairs of eyes, beneath the shock, was an even more intense greed.

"He is not some ancient Heavenly Tyrant Body Legacy successor."

The Gongshu Great Emperor Giant said word by word.

"He is the Ye Family Imperial Scion."

"Ye Yun."
