Return to the Forbidden Zone, Lifting the Seal

This is the Primordial Forbidden Zone, one of the taboo powers of the world, situated within a realm of the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, personally established by an emperor.

Immortal mountains stood in rows, divine waterfalls flowed, chaotic qi permeated the air, and the abundance of spiritual energy far surpassed what any of those outer dao provinces could compare to.

This was a majestic, magnificent hall.

At this moment, inside the Primordial Demonic Palace, a youth sat upon the high throne—Ye Ming, who had just returned to the forbidden zone.

"I thank the elders for saving my life this time; otherwise, I, Ye Ming, would surely have died without a burial place!"

Ye Ming's voice carried gratitude.

"The Imperial Son's good fortune protects him; even without us old relics, we believe you would have been safe and sound."

The three elders stood below, speaking calmly. The one who spoke was the Sixth Elder, Blood Soul, an existence at the fifth heaven of the Saint Realm.

Besides him, two other elders from the Primordial Forbidden Zone had also accompanied him on this mission. When Ye Ming faced danger, they had unhesitatingly thrown themselves forward to shield him.

The Ninth Elder, Chu Wentian, had white hair and beard, wore a black robe, and bore a dignified countenance as he stood in the hall.

The Seventh Elder, Lin Dao, had a stern face, was not fond of words, and was shrouded in Demonic Mist, making his features unclear.

Saint Realm experts were merely the most superficial layer of the forbidden zone's strength; once its true foundation was revealed, it would shake the entire world.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, the entire Primordial Forbidden Zone trembled, shaking violently as an overwhelming pressure surged forth.

"This is... Emperor's Might!!!"

"The Master has emerged from seclusion!"

Now, throughout the forbidden zone, even some elders who had been in closed-door cultivation appeared one by one upon sensing this majesty.

The Master naturally referred to the Primordial Demonic Emperor, a supreme existence.

At this moment, Ye Ming's expression shifted. Regarding this convenient father of his, even according to his own memories, they had rarely met. That figure had always been blurry in his mind.

"Could Father's emergence from seclusion be related to the seal placed on my body?"

Ye Ming was curious. Earlier in Mingzhou, he had personally heard that his father had placed a seal on him, suppressing his true physique all these years.

"What kind of physique requires being unsealed only now?"

Filled with immense curiosity, Ye Ming followed the elders outside the hall, gazing up at the sky.

Boom!

Endless chaotic Demonic Qi spread out, as if heaven and earth were being split open. The Great Dao of the world surged, radiant and dazzling.

Crack!

The sky of the forbidden zone split open. A figure stood at the pinnacle of all beings—black hair like ink, fluttering in the wind, sharp eyes containing the myriad phenomena of the world. In his palm, galaxies floated, controlling reincarnation.

Supreme, sacred, transcending all—he was the Primordial Demonic Emperor!!!

At this moment, the entire Primordial Forbidden Zone shook. The Ten Elders all appeared, including the Great Elder and others who had not shown themselves before.

They were ten elders with white hair and beards, bowing their heads in worship, prostrating themselves with utmost reverence.

"We pay homage to the Demonic Emperor!"

"Rise!"

The voice was grand, resonating with heaven and earth.

"Ming'er!"

The Demonic Emperor looked at Ye Ming, his gaze no longer stern but carrying a trace of warmth.

Perhaps to others, he was a supreme existence, but when looking at Ye Ming, he was merely a father.

"Father!"

At this moment, countless experts in the forbidden zone knelt in reverence, but only Ye Ming remained standing.

Ye Ming saw that figure, gradually overlapping with the image in his memories.

Though he was honored as the Imperial Son, the times they had met in his memories were too few. Since Ye Ming could remember, in his impression, the Primordial Demonic Emperor had always been in seclusion.

"Seeing that you have finally awakened, I can rest assured and unlock your true physique."

"Heh, in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, among the three thousand physiques, the world only knows the Chaos Body, which ranks alongside the Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo as number one. Yet they do not know that once my Primordial Demonic Body reaches its limit, it surpasses even these two!"

The Demonic Emperor said with a calm smile.

These words immediately shocked the Ten Elders present.

Because whether it was the Chaos Body or the Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo, both had been myths since ancient times, overpowering the Taiyin Body, Taiyang Body, Primordial Ancient Sacred Body, Heavenly Hegemon Body, and other supreme physiques.

Throughout endless ages, they had rarely appeared in the world. Even now, as the Golden Age was about to dawn, no news of such physiques emerging had been heard.

If either of these two physiques appeared in the world, there would be no doubt about who would claim the emperor's seat in this era.

But now, the Master said there was a physique even above these two—this was undoubtedly earth-shattering.

If not for the fact that these words were spoken by the Master himself, the several Elders would have found them utterly impossible to believe, for this shattered the understanding of every cultivator in the world.

"Hiss! Surpassing the Chaos Body and the Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo—unimaginable!"

"Could it be... that the Imperial Son is—!"

"Then that would mean!!!"

Within the Forbidden Zone, voices of shocked cultivators rang out one after another, their gazes fixed on Ye Ming.

"Haha, that's right, I said as much! The Master was so brilliantly gifted back in his day—how could the Imperial Son, as his offspring, possibly be a waste... no, be so low in talent!"

"Hmph! Those other Forbidden Zones mocked our Primordial Forbidden Zone for having no one worthy this generation—how could they possibly know the Imperial Son's true talent?"

"Yes, the Master hid the Imperial Son too deeply; even we could not see through it!"

At this moment, the Ten Elders burst into hearty laughter.

"Ming'er, what I sealed away is precisely your Primordial Demonic Body."

"You never took a liking to cultivation before, and I have been waiting for you to awaken!"

The Primordial Demonic Emperor spoke, his gaze toward Ye Ming filled with expectation.

At this moment, even Ye Ming was somewhat stunned, frozen on the spot.

Before this, he truly had no fondness for cultivation, but the most important factor was still his own talent. He had occupied the boundless resources of the Primordial Forbidden Zone for years, yet had only barely managed to step into the early stage of Spirit Condensing.

In the outside world, that was unequivocally the mark of a waste, let alone compared to other Imperial Sons or sect Holy Sons.

After experiencing the Liu Family incident, he understood that in this world, the strong reign supreme.

He had become desperately eager to cultivate—if his strength were sufficient, how could a mere Liu Family have nearly slain him?

And now, he suddenly learned that his physique was actually the Primordial Demonic Body—such news was far too abrupt!

Boom!

At that moment, a light of Opening Chaos shot forth from the fingertip of the Primordial Demonic Emperor, with endless ancient runes swirling and radiating myriad brilliant lights, descending upon Ye Ming.

"The Primordial Demonic Body grows and becomes powerful by devouring the three thousand physiques of the world, seizing their abilities!"

"Once enough physiques have been devoured, even the Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo and the Chaos Body can be consumed and turned to your own use."

"By then, what it will become—even I, your father, do not know!"

The Primordial Demonic Emperor spoke.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

At that moment, endless radiant runes enveloped Ye Ming's body. An unparalleled power surged within him, and the aura of his body was too mighty—the surrounding void could no longer bear his form, cracking and shattering inch by inch.

Boom!

On Ye Ming's body, divine chains formed of blood-colored runes began to emerge, radiating Emperor's Might, with chaotic Demonic Mist spreading—these were the seals the Primordial Demonic Emperor had placed upon Ye Ming.

Countless gazes turned toward this scene, filled with shock.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, the first Demonic Chain snapped, and Ye Ming's aura instantly surged several times over...
