511: Chapter 511 The Heavenly Emperor (76)

The flying ship traveled through the desolate and shattered Star Domain.

This Star Domain had long been dead and silent, with the remnants of giant stars floating quietly.

Ye Yun and Jiang Zhiyu sat cross-legged on the deck of the flying ship.

For the past few months, following the guidance of the token, they had been journeying toward the Legacy site of the first Heavenly Emperor of the Southern Heavenly Court.

The journey was not smooth.

Several times, they narrowly avoided direct encounters with patrols of the fallen creatures, each time relying on Ye Yun's perception, which far exceeded that of ordinary people, to evade them in advance.

"How much further?" Ye Yun asked.

The green jade token in Jiang Zhiyu's hand emitted a soft light. She sensed it for a moment and shook her head.

"The coordinates are very vague; it seems they have been interfered with by some force. But the direction is correct."

At this moment, Ye Yun frowned.

He stood up abruptly and looked into the depths of the distant starry sky.

A violent burst of Emperor-level energy fluctuations came from that direction.

Amidst the fluctuations, there was a scent of the fallen that he was intimately familiar with.

It was Great Emperor Chiyan and Emperor Xuanshui.

"Something happened." Ye Yun's voice sank.

The two did not hesitate, immediately concealing all their aura. The flying ship turned into a streak of light, quietly approaching the source of the fluctuations.

When they reached the edge of the battlefield, the scene before them shocked Ye Yun.

Great Emperor Chiyan and Emperor Xuanshui were covered in blood, tightly besieged by four fallen Emperors of the same level within a belt of meteorites.

Great Emperor Chiyan's imperial robe had long been burned to ashes, and the flame armor he had condensed with his Imperial Dao Origin was covered in cracks. Every punch he threw carried a sense of determination.

Emperor Xuanshui's situation was worse; one of his arms was missing, and the wound was wrapped in a ghostly green aura that was constantly eroding his imperial body.

They were at the end of their rope.

Through their conversation, Ye Yun understood that the forces of the fallen creatures, in order to track his whereabouts, had found the Great Love Alliance and had pursued the two Emperors all the way here.

They would rather die than submit.

Ye Yun's heart was filled with guilt and rage.

He took a step forward, intending to reveal himself.

"Don't go!" A cool hand grabbed his wrist.

Jiang Zhiyu's face was solemn.

"Once you are exposed, the pursuit you draw will be inescapable. Our plan to go to the Legacy site will be completely ruined."

Jiang Zhiyu's voice was calm as she looked directly into Ye Yun's eyes.

"My mission is to escort you to the Secret Realm."

Ye Yun did not turn back. He just spoke calmly, his voice devoid of emotion.

"I founded the Great Love Alliance to protect my fellow Daoists, not to let them sacrifice themselves for me."

"If I sit idly by today, my Dao Heart will be flawed, and the path ahead will be severed."

He brushed off Jiang Zhiyu's hand, his attitude resolute.

"Rest assured, my identity has long been exposed; there is no need to hide anymore."

Ye Yun's figure disappeared from where he stood. Only a voice transmission remained, echoing in Jiang Zhiyu's Sea of Consciousness.

"You provide cover from afar. If things become impossible, leave immediately with the coordinates; do not worry about me. The hope of the Ye family cannot be severed in our hands."

...

On the battlefield, Great Emperor Chiyan and Emperor Xuanshui had reached their wits' end.

Just as the sharp claws of a fallen Emperor were about to pierce through Great Emperor Chiyan's chest.

A golden fist imprint blasted out from the Void Realm.

Boom!

That power of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body instantly dispersed.

That fallen Emperor was knocked flying hundreds of feet by this punch, and the ghostly green aura swirling around his arm dimmed significantly.

A golden figure descended before the two Emperors.

"Alliance Leader!" Great Emperor Chiyan and Emperor Xuanshui were both shocked and overjoyed.

They did not expect that at this most desperate moment, the Alliance Leader would personally descend.

The four fallen Emperors looked at this suddenly appeared "Major Achievement Desolate Ancient Sacred Body" with suspicious and greedy eyes.

Ye Yun did not waste words.

The Qi and blood of the Major Achievement Sacred Body erupted fully. Fighting two against one, he actually managed to block the joint attack of the two fallen Emperors with his own strength.

Chi Yan and Emperor Xuanshui felt their Battle Intent reignite. They burned their remaining Origin without regard for the cost, providing support from the side and restraining the other two.

The battle reached a stalemate for a time.

However, the four fallen Emperors could not win after a long time, and one of them let out a sharp hiss.

A higher-level distress signal.

Almost the next moment after the signal was sent.

Boom!

The space of the Star Domain was torn apart by a terrifying force.

A fallen titan, whose aura far exceeded that of ordinary Emperors, walked slowly out of the crack.

Above the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Emperor Realm!

That terrifying pressure descended instantly, and Great Emperor Chiyan and Emperor Xuanshui were suppressed in place by that pressure, unable to move.

The battle was completely unbalanced.

The fallen titan looked at Ye Yun.

"Major Achievement Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, interesting."

"Compared to a Major Achievement Tyrant Body, I presume that Lord would prefer a Major Achievement Desolate Ancient Sacred Body."

It raised its hand, and a pitch-black giant palm slammed down from above.

Under the extreme pressure of life and death, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Origin within Ye Yun was completely ignited.

That Tyrant Body Origin belonging to Xiang Tian, which had been silent deep in his Bloodline, resonated with it at this moment.

Boom!

Ye Yun's entire body erupted with golden light.

His aura climbed steadily.

In his chest, the fifth sacred bone that had been silent for a long time, the Wood sacred bone, stimulated by this, actually began to vibrate slightly, and faint Life Dao patterns appeared on it.

The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was taking a crucial step toward the threshold of "Perfection".

His cultivation did not change, but his Physical Body combat power had already touched the Domain of a titan.

Ye Yun let out a long howl, and with his newfound power, met the fallen titan's palm head-on.

The golden fist imprint and the pitch-black giant palm collided violently in the Void Realm.

Ye Yun switched between various forms such as Sacred Flame and Star Suppressing, engaging in a bitter battle with the fallen titan.

In the end, with a "Heavenly Illumination" that fused multiple powers, he severely wounded the fallen titan, forcing it to flee in a sorry state.

Seeing this, the remaining four fallen Emperors also immediately turned into streaks of light and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.

The battle was over.

The golden light on Ye Yun's body slowly faded.

"Pfft." He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.

He could clearly feel that his life essence was slowly draining away at an extremely fast speed.

This forced sublimation, forcibly fusing the Tyrant Body Origin with the Saint Body Origin, had severely overdrawn his life Origin.

Jiang Zhiyu immediately flew over from the distance, supporting his crumbling body.

When she detected the constantly draining life force within Ye Yun, she was burning with anxiety.

Chi Yan and Emperor Xuanshui also dragged their severely injured bodies forward. They looked at Ye Yun, their eyes filled with worry and self-reproach.

"Alliance Leader..."

Ye Yun forcibly suppressed his injuries, but his eyes were firm.

"The fallen creatures will return. We must reach the Legacy site as soon as possible."

He looked at the two Emperors.

"You must immediately find a place to hide and do not show yourselves again. The Three Thousand Dao Provinces are in chaos now; no one can be trusted."

"No!" Great Emperor Chiyan refused categorically, "We will never abandon the Alliance Leader!"

"That's right, our lives were saved by the Alliance Leader. On this trip, we two swear to protect the Alliance Leader until we reach the Secret Realm!" Emperor Xuanshui also expressed his stance.

Ye Yun looked at their firm gazes and said nothing more.

The group did not delay any longer, and carrying their severe injuries, they headed at full speed toward the direction of the Southern Heavenly Court Secret Realm.

Ye Yun's constantly draining life force filled the path ahead with a sense of urgency.
