475: Chapter 475 The Heavenly Emperor (40)

"Now, you can die."

Before the voice had even faded, six Emperor-level killing moves struck down simultaneously.

Six torrents of Destruction Law intertwined, transforming into a pitch-black giant palm that completely sealed off all paths of retreat in this Star Domain.

Densely packed Emperor Dao Laws covered that giant palm, and space was pulverized into nothingness wherever it passed.

"How dare you!"

Fifth Ancestor Ye Huangge let out a roar of fury, as his Peak Quasi-Emperor Aura erupted without reservation.

He took a step forward, shielding Ye Yun, and pushed out both palms, condensing his lifetime of cultivation into a Law barrier.

Boom!

The moment the barrier made contact with the giant palm, it was covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

A trace of blood seeped from the corner of the Fifth Ancestor's mouth.

The gap between a Quasi-Emperor and a Great Emperor was a true chasm.

Moreover, this was a combined strike from six Great Emperors.

The Fifth Ancestor knew very well that he could not block it.

But he had no choice.

He was the Ye Family's Fifth Ancestor, the final barrier protecting the Imperial Scion.

He absolutely could not retreat.

"Even if I have to sacrifice this old life today, I will ensure your safety!"

The Fifth Ancestor's breath surged abruptly; he was actually going to burn his Origin at this moment to fight to the death.

However, just a moment before he was about to ignite his Origin.

A bronze-colored iron fist suddenly blasted out from the side.

Bang!

That punch was plain and unadorned, without any fancy enhancement from Emperor techniques.

But the pure power it contained was like an ancient star exploding, and more than half of the aftershocks from the six Emperors' combined strike were forcibly shaken apart.

This punch saved the Fifth Ancestor.

It also saved Ye Yun.

A stalwart figure appeared before everyone.

His exposed skin was covered in ancient Tyrant Runes, each line radiating light.

The Heavenly Tyrant Body Aura on him was more than ten times stronger than that of the Palace Master of Ba Gong.

Major Achievement Heavenly Tyrant Body.

Hegemon Palace, Hegemon Ancestor.

"Old Ancestor!"

The Palace Master of Ba Gong and Xiang Tian cried out in surprise simultaneously.

They had never expected that the Old Ancestor, who had been slumbering in the deepest part of the Hegemon Palace, would actually wake up at this moment.

The Hegemon Ancestor stood before the Fifth Ancestor and Ye Yun. His eyes swept over the six figures in the sky, and he gave a sneer.

"Six dogs, sneakily running to my Hegemon Palace's territory to act wild."

"Have you no shame?"

The Auras of the six Great Emperors fluctuated slightly; they clearly hadn't expected the Hegemon Ancestor of the Hegemon Palace to intervene.

After his initial shock, the Fifth Ancestor quickly regained his composure.

"Your Excellency Hegemon Ancestor, thank you for your assistance this time."

The Hegemon Ancestor did not turn around, his voice rough.

"Don't overthink it, old man of the Ye Family."

His tone was direct.

"The Sacred Body and the Tyrant Body have competed for countless eras, fighting over who is the world's number one Body Refining path. It is not a blood feud of mutual extermination."

"Back then in the Land of Expedition, your Sacred Body lineage charged at the very front, blocking so many calamities for the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. Although my Tyrant Body lineage doesn't admit it verbally, we know it very well in our hearts."

He paused.

"Besides, if this kid dies on my Hegemon Palace's territory, wouldn't that group of lunatics from your Ye Family tear my Hegemon Palace apart?"

"I can do the math on this account."

After hearing this, the Fifth Ancestor said nothing more, only nodding slightly toward the Hegemon Ancestor's back.

However, high in the sky, those six figures did not retreat because of the Hegemon Ancestor's appearance.

One of the Great Emperors spoke in a cold voice.

"A mere Major Achievement Tyrant Body is not enough to be reckoned with."

The moment the words fell, the Auras of the six people erupted completely.

The Fifth Ancestor's expression suddenly changed.

Because he keenly captured that among those six Auras, two were far beyond ordinary Great Emperors—they were terrifying existences at the level of Great Emperor Giants.

Great Emperor Giant.

Above the Fourth Heaven of the Great Emperor realm.

In the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, any one of them would be a supreme existence capable of influencing the situation of an entire province.

And here, two had actually come.

What on earth was their Origin?

The Hegemon Ancestor's face also darkened.

As a Major Achievement Tyrant Body, his combat power was not weaker than an ordinary Giant. But facing a siege by six Great Emperors, including two Giants, it was impossible for him to emerge unscathed.

The Emperor War erupted fully.

The Hegemon Ancestor took the lead, using the supreme Physical Body of a Major Achievement Tyrant Body to hard-clash against the combined attacks of four Great Emperors.

The Fifth Ancestor assisted from the side.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Laws collided, and stars shattered.

Under the Emperor War, this Star Domain was transformed into a true purgatory.

However, though the Hegemon Ancestor was brave, two fists were ultimately no match for four hands.

The combat power of those two Great Emperor Giants was too terrifying; every move they made contained Emperor Dao Laws that transcended common sense.

In less than a hundred exchanges, the Hegemon Ancestor was already covered in wounds, his bronze-colored Tyrant Body blood staining his armor red.

The Fifth Ancestor's situation was even worse; he was struggling to cope under the offensive of a Great Emperor, several times nearly being struck down.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

"Is this all you've got?"

One of the Great Emperor Giants let out a cold laugh.

"Today, the Ye Family Imperial Scion is doomed to die."

Just at this critical moment.

An even more terrifying Aura exploded out from the depths of the Void Realm.

That Aura was vast and majestic.

It was infinitely close to a Peak Great Emperor.

A majestic figure tore through the starry sky and appeared in the center of the battlefield.

As soon as he acted, it was an Emperor-level killing move. Four torrents of Law blasted out simultaneously, instantly forcing back the four Great Emperors who were besieging the Hegemon Ancestor.

The Ye Family's Second Ancient Ancestor!

"You lowlifes hiding your heads and showing your tails, you dare to touch my Ye Family Imperial Scion?"

The Second Ancient Ancestor's voice echoed throughout the entire Star Domain, every word carrying the wrath of thunder.

His cultivation had long reached the Peak of the Sixth Heaven of the Great Emperor realm, infinitely close to the Pinnacle realm of the Seventh Heaven.

The moment the Second Ancient Ancestor arrived, the tide of battle was forcibly turned.

However, just when everyone thought the situation was about to be controlled by the Ye Family's side.

An all-overpowering, terrifying Aura awakened from the deepest part of the void.

That Aura.

Caused the Second Ancient Ancestor's offensive to suddenly stall.

Caused the Hegemon Ancestor's iron fist to stop in mid-air.

Caused a look of despair to appear on the Fifth Ancestor's face.

Above the Seventh Heaven of the Great Emperor realm.

A Peak Great Emperor.

One of the few strongest existences in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

A seventh person.

He had never shown himself from the beginning, always watching from the shadows.

Only at this moment did he finally make his move.

A blurred figure appeared in the starry sky, his entire body shrouded in black mist, his face indistinguishable.

He said nothing.

He simply raised his hand.

Boom!

A beam of Law light shot out from his palm, accurately striking the Second Ancient Ancestor's chest.

The Second Ancient Ancestor's Emperor-level protective divine light shattered instantly.

He was sent flying backward, tumbling for tens of thousands of miles in the void, a trace of Emperor blood seeping from his mouth.

The Second Ancient Ancestor forcibly stabilized his body. He stared fixedly at that blurred figure, his heart filled with horror.

He began to desperately resist the attacks of that Peak Great Emperor.

But with every move, he was suppressed until he could barely breathe.

The battle situation had fallen into a desperate state once again.

And in the center of the battlefield, Ye Yun's body also underwent a severe abnormal change at this moment.

The terrifying aftershocks of the external Emperor War acted like a catalyst, triggering his dao foundation which had long reached its limit.

The cracks on the dao seed formed by the Progenitor Heavenly Eye expanded rapidly.

Ye Yun's face turned deathly pale.

His dao foundation was about to collapse.

Once it collapsed, his cultivation Foundation for this life would all come to naught.

"Desolate Palace..."

His gaze locked tightly onto the spatial rift behind him, which had been halfway unsealed by the Palace Master of Ba Gong.

Inside was the second dao seed that would prolong his life.

That was his only chance.

The Fifth Ancestor also saw Ye Yun's abnormality at the same moment.

His clouded old eyes became incredibly clear at this moment.

He understood everything.

"Yun'er..."

The Fifth Ancestor's voice was very soft.

He no longer entangled himself with that Great Emperor Giant.

He turned around.

He looked at the youth he had protected since childhood.

At that moment, Ye Yun also looked back.

Their gazes met in the starry sky.

Ye Yun's heart tightened.

Because he saw something in the Fifth Ancestor's eyes that he was all too familiar with.

Determination.

"Fifth Ancestor! No!"

Ye Yun's voice was hoarse.

However, the Fifth Ancestor only smiled at him.

That aged face was full of gratification.

"My Ye Family's Heavenly Emperor must live."

In the next moment, the Fifth Ancestor no longer had any hesitation.

He burned his Quasi-Emperor Origin.

He burned his Divine Soul.

He released all of his hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation accumulation in this single instant.

Boom!

A brilliant light blossomed from his hunched body.

The light was so strong that it caused the offensives of all the Great Emperors present to stall.

The Fifth Ancestor turned into a shooting star, shielding Ye Yun.

He took the killing blow of a Great Emperor head-on.

That strike hit his body, and his body shattered like paper.

But he did not fall.

With his last bit of strength, and using those hands that had already begun to become transparent, he fiercely pushed Ye Yun toward the entrance of the Desolate Palace.

"Go!"

Ye Yun's body flew backward uncontrollably.

He reached out his hand, wanting to grab something.

But his fingers only passed through the Fifth Ancestor's gradually dissipating figure.

He caught nothing.

"Fifth Ancestor—!"

A sorrowful roar resounded through the starry sky.

However, the entrance of the Desolate Palace had already completely swallowed him.

One last look.

He saw the Fifth Ancestor's illusory figure that was dissipating.

He saw the Second Ancient Ancestor, hair standing on end in fury, covered in blood, fighting desperately against the Peak Great Emperor.

He saw the Hegemon Ancestor's back, covered in wounds, yet still fighting to the death without retreating.

Then, everything was swallowed by darkness.

Ye Yun's figure completely disappeared into the Desolate Palace.

And above that blood-stained starry sky, the aftershocks of the Emperor War were still raging.

In that sky full of light and dust, the Fifth Ancestor's figure grew fainter and more illusory.

Life or death was unknown.
