366: The flawed jade is the king (105).

The two "Emperor Suns" that had just been born in this era were rapidly dimming.

The brand-new Emperor Dao Law representing Ye Chen and Chen You, which had just been imprinted deep within the Universe's Origin, were quickly dissipating.

This scene was clearly reflected in the hearts of all living beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

They knew all too well what this meant.

The newly ascended dual Emperors, Ye Chen and Chen You, had fallen.

The entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths fell into silence.

The Golden Great Age, which had been boiling not long ago due to the unprecedented glory of "Two Emperors in One Generation," was instantly doused with a bucket of ice water.

After a brief silence, an endless panic swept across the entire Ten Lands.

The gazes of all living beings were cast toward the same place.

The Yuan Land, the Life Forbidden Zone, the Burial Ground of Immortals.

That Forbidden Land, which had swallowed the dual Emperors, became incomparably terrifying in the hearts of all living beings.

There was no Emperor in the current world.

The Heavenly Dao was weak.

For those ancient Supremes who used secret methods to sleep and linger on for countless tens of thousands of years within various Life Forbidden Zones, this was the best news.

A "feast" to extend their lives was about to begin.

In the Life Forbidden Zone of the Xuan Land, deep within the Tai Chu Ancient Mine, wisps of black mist that seemed capable of swallowing light slowly rose, and teeth-gritting grinding sounds echoed from within.

In the Xian Ling of the Soul Land, the lid of a stone coffin that had been sealed for an unknown number of eras vibrated slightly, and a pair of scarlet eyes snapped open.

In the Divine Ruins of the Spirit Land, ancient and decaying wills began to communicate silently.

"To think this era has also reached this stage."

"The taste of blood food... I haven't tasted it in far too long."

"The Ten Lands are truly a fertile pasture."

They greedily scanned the vibrant ancient stars one by one.

A terrifying aura, like the calm before a storm, enveloped the entire Ten Lands.

Various orthodoxies fell into extreme panic.

"Quick! Activate the Mountain-Protecting Formation! Raise it to the highest Rank!"

"Recall all Disciples training outside, seal the mountain gates, and no one is allowed to leave!"

Mountain gates that were usually wreathed in immortal light and majestic now shone brilliantly, raising their strongest defensive formations.

The entire Ten Lands was on edge, filled with a chilling atmosphere.

In stark contrast to the panic in the Ten Lands, the Longevity Families and Supreme Orthodoxies above the Nine Heavens appeared exceptionally calm.

They looked down upon the Chaos of the Ten Lands with indifferent expressions, viewing them as ants waiting to be slaughtered.

They possessed deeper foundations and even sleeping Emperor Weapons; they did not fear that this turmoil would affect them.

Countless forces from the Ten Lands dispatched messengers carrying treasures precious enough to move a Saint, crossing the endless starry sky to the Nine Heavens, all just to seek a sliver of protection.

Even if it was just a nominal promise, it might make those Forbidden Zone Supremes hesitate for a moment when they acted.

However, at this moment.

The Cang Clan, a Nine Heavens force that had a blood feud with Wang Yun, spoke out publicly.

A Decree written with Supreme Laws spanned the starry sky and appeared above the Ten Lands.

"By the order of the various clans of the Nine Heavens, all those associated with the Supreme Body Wang Yun are enemies of our Nine Heavens."

"The Yu Family, the Gu Family, the Great You Sacred Dynasty... the Nine Heavens will not provide any form of protection to such forces."

"We hope the living beings of the Ten Lands will watch themselves before associating with them."

This Decree completely severed the last sliver of hope for the Yu Family and other forces.

Countless orthodoxies that were originally on good terms with the Yu Family immediately announced publicly that they were cutting ties the moment they saw the Decree.

When a wall is about to fall, everyone gives it a push.

The Yu Family became an existence that countless forces avoided, fearing any association with them.

Inside a secret room in Yu Tian City.

Wang Yun was oblivious to everything outside.

He was sitting cross-legged with a furrowed brow.

He clearly felt that since he had attained the Dao, the unknown will belonging to the Indestructible Art within his body was reviving faster and faster.

It was like a shadow lurking in the dark, growing constantly as his power increased.

He was walking a dead-end road, merely acting as a vessel for another.

He had to break the situation.

In his mind, he recalled the remains of You Chen he had seen deep within the Burial Ground of Immortals.

You Chen had failed to sever a brand-new self.

But, birthing a brand-new self was the only path left for Wang Yun.

Taiyi Transformation into Two Pure Ones.

This was the only hope he currently knew.

Sever a brand-new "self" and completely discard this Great Accomplishment Supreme Body that had already been "cursed" and could not become an Emperor for him.

Wang Yun walked out of the secret room.

He gathered all the core members of the Yu Family.

Luo Xi, Chen Yang, his grandfather Yu Changqing, Elder Mo... seeing their worried yet trusting expressions, Wang Yun felt a warmth in his heart.

"I am going into seclusion."

Wang Yun's voice was calm, but it carried an unusual gravity.

"This seclusion is a life-or-death gamble; I do not know how long it will last."

"During my seclusion, my life aura will drop to the freezing point or even disappear completely, and I will lose all perception of the outside world."

He did not tell the whole truth, but everyone understood that the Yu Family was about to face its greatest crisis ever.

"Yun'er, go with peace of mind."

Grandfather Yu Changqing patted his shoulder. "The Yu Family has us."

"Brother Yun, when you come out, we will fight side by side again!"

Chen Yang's eyes were filled with determination.

Wang Yun nodded.

He took one last look at everyone, and after settling everything, he turned and entered the secret room again.

The heavy stone door slowly closed.

Wang Yun sat cross-legged, eyes closed, and began to circulate that forbidden secret technique created by an unknown person.

Taiyi Transformation into Two Pure Ones.

His golden Qi and blood, powerful enough to pierce the sea of stars, began to slowly withdraw and contract.

His life aura, as vigorous as a furnace, began to cool down bit by bit, becoming faint.

Eventually, everything returned to silence.

His consciousness also sank into the deepest and most primitive Chaos, losing all perception of the outside world.

Time flowed quietly.

One year, ten years, thirty years... in the blink of an eye, fifty years passed.

For these fifty years, the entire Ten Lands was shrouded in an oppressive silence, with all orthodoxies closing their gates and trembling in fear.

Although the Supremes in those Life Forbidden Zones had awakened, they had yet to take real action.

They seemed to be wary of each other, or perhaps waiting for a certain opportunity.

Until this day.

In the Eastern Region of the Yuan Land, there was another Life Forbidden Zone besides the Burial Soil—the Immortal Sea.

A Supreme who had been suppressed for an unknown number of tens of thousands of years finally could not bear it.

His withered figure slowly rose from the stone coffin.

"This seat can wait no longer."

He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse.

Then, he took that step.

With one step, his figure crossed the boundaries of the Immortal Sea and descended upon the lands of the Eastern Region.

The Dark Turmoil had officially begun.
