Brothers reunited, laughter shook the heavenly gates!

"No... it's impossible..."

The phantom of the twelve-winged Angel screamed, its voice trembling.

"His... his soul should have withered away long ago! How could he possibly wake up?!"

Under the horrified gaze of the three gods.

The man on the Throne slowly raised his head.

On that rugged face, weathered and stained with dried blood, the muscles twitched with extreme stiffness.

The next second.

Boom--!

Two dazzling, almost tangible beams of intense golden light burst forth from the man's eye sockets without warning!

The golden light, like two peerless swords that Heaven-Opening Slash, instantly tore through the Ancient Battlefield, shattering the endless darkness that had lingered for thousands of years!

The domineering and murderous aura contained within that golden light was extremely pure and extremely ferocious!

"So noisy!"

A dry, hoarse, yet powerful voice, like the booming of a bell, slowly emerged from deep within the man's throat.

Immediately afterwards, the Black Greatsword that the man had casually placed across his lap trembled violently!

Nine black Chains instantly erupted with a blinding dark light!

"Since you think I'm already dead, there's no point in keeping your rotten souls around."

Before he could finish speaking...

The two beams of intense golden light shooting from the man's eyes suddenly spun in mid-air, sweeping across like golden Thunderclap!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

There were no screams, no struggles.

In the instant those two pure and deadly golden beams swept across, the three powerful remnant souls of the West Ancient God, who had been bound by Chains for five years, were like snowflakes encountering a raging fire. They couldn't even hold on for a second in mid-air before turning to ashes on the spot!

A shower of golden divine light fell from the sky, only to be completely absorbed by the Black Greatsword!

One glance from each person, and three God-Level Remnant Soul instantly annihilated!

Li Jiahao was completely stunned, his mouth agape, so wide it could fit a fist, and he stood frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.

The red ribbon in front of Ning Hongye fluttered slightly, and a faint expression of solemnity and respect appeared on her usually aloof face.

On the Throne.

Yue Feng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The exhaled breath transformed into a white arrow of air, shooting dozens of meters before slowly dissipating.

The golden light in his eyes gradually subsided, returning to a pair of deep, dark eyes, sharp as a hawk's.

That cold, domineering gaze, enough to strike fear into the hearts of the entire overseas Underworld, slowly moved down and finally landed on the young man kneeling on one knee at the bottom of the stone steps.

Yue Feng's gaze lingered on Yue Xiaofei's face for a few seconds.

Then, it was moved to Yue Xiaofei's shoulder, to that glittering golden General's Star.

Finally, it landed on Yue Xiaofei's waist, on the Ink-Gold Long Saber that exuded a familiar Emperor Dragon Aura.

"Little... Fei?"

Yue Feng's voice was somewhat dry, as if it had been sanded on sandpaper.

"Brother! It's me!"

Yue Xiaofei suddenly stood up, rushed up to the Throne in three quick steps, and grabbed Yue Feng's large, calloused, cold, and hard hand.

Where he touched, there was a bone-chilling cold, like ancient ice, but beneath this cold flowed the hot, burning blood of the Yue Family, which shared the same origin as him!

Feeling the warmth from his palm, Yue Feng's expression finally changed on his usually cold and icy face, which earned him the nickname "Darkness Emperor" overseas.

His lips gradually parted into a smile.

First came a very low, guttural laugh.

Then, it turned into unrestrained, exhilarating laughter!

Hahaha! Hahahaha!

The domineering and arrogant laughter, like rolling Thunderclap, reverberated wildly across the Ancient Battlefield of the Cloudtop Heavenly Palace!

He laughed so hard the earth shook!

The Dragon Flag, now tattered and lying on the ground, fluttered wildly in the wind!

Yue Feng slammed the Black Greatsword from his knee into the Obsidian ground beside him, letting it sink half a foot into the hard rock.

He suddenly stood up, his powerful, Demon God body rising abruptly, making him half a head taller than Yue Xiaofei.

The next moment, Yue Feng opened his arms and hugged Yue Xiaofei tightly!

Bang!

The thick, hard arms gripped Yue Xiaofei's back tightly, with such force that they almost crushed the exoskeleton armor on Yue Xiaofei's body!

"Good lad! Good lad!"

Yue Feng slapped Yue Xiaofei hard on the back while laughing and cursing:

"I was down at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and you not only survived, you became Major General! You even took my father's knife!"

Yue Feng released his grip, then pressed his hands firmly against Yue Xiaofei's shoulders. His tiger-like eyes scanned Yue Xiaofei from head to toe, filled with undisguised ecstasy and pride.

"Divine Sequence 003, the pinnacle of the Second-Stage Gene Lock... Not bad! Damn, not bad at all!"

"I didn't disgrace the Yue Family! I didn't disgrace your brother! Hahaha!"

Yue Xiaofei's chest ached from being squeezed so tightly, but tears welled up in his eyes and almost spilled out.

This is his older brother.

No matter how many mountains of corpses and seas of blood he has experienced outside, no matter how much fearsome reputation he has earned in the Dark World, in front of me, he will always be that domineering, arrogant, and loving older brother who would dare to shoulder the burden even if the sky were to fall!

"Brother, I have become the Swordbearer."

Yue Xiaofei wiped his face and said seriously.

"The Swordbearer?"

Yue Feng raised an eyebrow, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes.

"Those Undying in Longdu, would they really hand over the Tiger Tally to you? They were the ones who tripped me up behind my back when they framed me."

"If you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself."

Yue Xiaofei's voice was calm, but beneath that calmness lay a ruthless streak.

" At Mangshan Luodu, the Ancient Gods Church launched a sneak attack on the Central Province Cauldron. I killed four National Authority Level with a single strike, forcing those old bastards to shut up on the spot."

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng was taken aback.

He then threw his head back and burst into laughter again, laughing so hard that tears almost streamed down his face.

"Hahaha! That's great! That's fucking great!"

Yue Feng slapped Yue Xiaofei hard on the back of the head, his eyes full of admiration.

"That's more like my brother! Anyone who dares to cause trouble, I'll chop off their head! Rules and principles, they're all bullshit in the face of absolute power!"

After speaking, Yue Feng's smile slowly faded, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked behind Yue Xiaofei.

"Xiaofei, you came here to find me... Did something happen at home? Where's Dad? And where's that girl Lingfei?"

Upon hearing this series of questions, Yue Xiaofei's initial elation at the reunion instantly turned into a bucket of cold water.

A sharp pain shot through his chest, and his hand instinctively tightened around the long sword at his waist.

Noticing the drastic change in Yue Xiaofei's expression, Yue Feng's violent and domineering aura suddenly solidified, and the temperature of the entire Ancient Battlefield instantly dropped below freezing!

The initial ecstasy of reunion vanished from Yue Feng's dark, deep eyes, replaced by a suffocating coldness and brutality.

He stared intently at Yue Xiaofei and spoke slowly and deliberately, "Xiaofei, tell me. What happened?"
