451: Chapter 451 The Heavenly Emperor (16)

"Mother, Ancient Ancestors."

"The Quasi-Emperor who assassinated me came from the Liu family."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into an unprecedented deathly silence.

The Liu family.

They were also an ancient Imperial Clan with a Legacy spanning endless ages and a deep Foundation. Although their strength could not compare to the Ye family, they were still a significant colossus within the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

A Quasi-Emperor was a pillar of the clan, a core part of their Foundation.

Why would such an existence risk starting a war between the two clans to personally intercept and kill an Imperial Son?

"Yun'er, is there... any evidence for this matter?"

An Ancient Ancestor with a relatively gentle aura was the first to break the silence.

His voice carried a hint of uncertainty.

This accusation was too serious. Once confirmed, it would trigger a monstrous wave capable of shaking the entire landscape of the Dao Province.

"Indeed, Your Highness, the Imperial Son."

"Although the Liu family and our Ye family have had friction over a failed marriage alliance, it hasn't reached the point of an irreconcilable blood feud. They have no reason to act like this."

Other Elders immediately chimed in with their Divine Thoughts, their faces full of skepticism.

In their view, this was too illogical.

Only the Empress and the Fifth Ancestor had expressions that were solemn to the extreme, remaining silent.

They were the ones who had personally witnessed Ye Yun's extraordinariness. They knew that their seemingly young son and junior would never make baseless claims.

The Empress looked into her son's calm and determined eyes and gestured for him to continue.

Ye Yun paid no mind to the voices of doubt.

He simply and calmly began to explain his perceptions and deductions in detail.

"Do the Elders remember the strange illness contracted by the Saintess of the Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty?"

He threw out the first question.

"The root of that illness is a 'bizarre' aura I have never seen before. And the Origin of that aura is exactly the same as the cursed shackles within my body that were once used to bind the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body."

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, the Divine Thoughts of all the Ancient Ancestors fluctuated violently.

The cursed shackles.

That was a thorn that the Ye family, and even all the top forces in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, could not pull out of their hearts.

Ye Yun did not pause and continued to throw out the second and most crucial point.

"And on that Liu family Quasi-Emperor who attacked me, this 'bizarre' aura not only existed, but it was more than ten times more concentrated and pure than the wisp inside the Saintess."

As his voice fell, he clearly presented the last wisp of Origin aura he had captured before the Quasi-Emperor's self-destruction to everyone through Divine Thought.

That sinister, ominous aura, filled with destruction and decay, moved every Great Emperor Ancient Ancestor present.

They instantly confirmed that this power was a perfect match for the aura of the 'great terror' that had cursed the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body after Desolate Heaven's expedition back then.

Ye Yun's voice rang out again, like a final judgment.

"The cursed shackles of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body originated from the 'great terror' my father encountered in the land of the expedition."

"The Liu family's Quasi-Emperor carried such pure power of the same Origin."

"The conclusion is already self-evident."

"The Liu family is in league with the 'great terror' from the land of the expedition."

When these final words fell, the air in the entire hall seemed to be sucked dry.

"In league with the great terror."

The severity of this accusation had far exceeded the scope of a feud between two clans.

It was a betrayal of all living beings in the entire Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

The nature of the situation had completely changed.

The expressions of all the Ancient Ancestors became more solemn than ever before.

They were well aware that the Liu family was a direct subordinate force of the 'Central Heavenly Court'.

Once this matter was involved, it would be a terrifying chess game where a single move would affect the whole body.

However, new questions followed.

These deductions were all based on Ye Yun's 'perception'.

Despite his noble status and extraordinary talent.

He was, after all, only a twelve-year-old child.

Could these earth-shattering words just be 'childish nonsense'?

If his perception was wrong and the Ye family attacked the Liu family based on it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

For a moment, a brief disagreement appeared among the several Ancient Ancestors.

They fell into hesitation.

Ye Yun took in everyone's hesitation.

He knew he had to bring out his final trump card, one sufficient to convince everyone.

He no longer hid it.

He slowly raised his head, and those eyes that should have been clear were now as calm as an ancient, waveless abyss.

"I know what the Ancient Ancestors are concerned about."

"My perception cannot be wrong."

The moment his voice fell, that tiny golden crack at the center of Ye Yun's brow suddenly snapped open.

Boom!

A brilliant golden light erupted from between his brows.

That light was holy and vast, as if it contained the supreme mysteries of the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and the birth and death of ten thousand Daos.

A majestic golden vertical eye, seemingly capable of seeing through all the falsehoods in the world, appeared before everyone.

Ye Yun's calm voice rang out again.

"I possess the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, so I am naturally sensitive to that cursed aura."

"Supplemented by this eye to see through the Origin and perceive falsehoods."

"The truth has nowhere to hide."

As soon as these words were spoken, there were no more doubts.

But after the doubt disappeared, it was replaced by an even greater, more inconceivable shock.

"This... this is..."

For the first time, the Fifth Ancestor's aged voice trembled violently.

He stared fixedly at the golden vertical eye at the center of Ye Yun's brow, as if he were seeing something that overturned hundreds of thousands of years of his understanding.

The other Great Emperor Ancient Ancestors, including the Empress, also fell into an unprecedented state of distraction.

Their Divine Thoughts exchanged and collided frantically in the Void Realm.

"Saint Eye... it's actually a Saint Eye opened at the center of the brow!"

"The ancient records of my Ye family once stated that there are many types of Saint Eyes—some primary for slaughter, some for defense, some for support... but the Saint Eye at the center of the brow is different from all other Saint Eyes."

"Because it is not of a single type, but... omnipotent!"

"Legend has it that our Ye family's forefather, who created eternal glory, that true 'Heavenly Emperor', used this eye to sweep across the Three Thousand Dao Provinces without a rival, suppressing era after era."

"Since that forefather, this eye has been honored as... the Heavenly Eye!"

"The Heavenly Eye has reappeared! The Heavenly Eye has reappeared!"

An Ancient Ancestor's Divine Thought was so excited it almost spiraled out of control.

"Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, Heavenly Eye..."

"Such Aptitude, such a Foundation... it more than just surpasses Desolate Heaven!"

"This is... a true posture of a heavenly emperor!"

When the four words 'posture of a heavenly emperor' echoed in the hearts of all the Ancient Ancestors.

All hesitation and all concerns vanished into thin air at this moment.

They looked at the youth standing in the center of the hall, whose figure was still slightly immature but already displayed a supreme style.

In their eyes, there was no longer a shred of doubt.

Only absolute conviction remained.
