Moreover, these might be the legendary supreme beings from The Heavens. They could not comprehend what that meant, but judging by how even the Soul River had been forced to retreat, this was certainly a force more terrifying than the Soul River. They might possess the dreadful power to destroy it with ease. How vast would such power be? It defied imagination.
Yet a moment later, everyone who had been wearing solemn expressions crowded around.
"Blackie, I missed you to death! You're finally back!"
"Hehe, I never thought you'd return so soon."
"Well? Did you break through again? What realm are you in now?"
The Heavenly Court's people all talked over one another in a noisy throng. Most were Ye Fan's friends and family. Even after he ascended to the Emperor Realm, they felt no distance from him. Ye Fan did not mind such things either. Rather, he loved scenes like this, surrounded by friends.
Son of Heaven and Exiled Immortal watched with broad smiles. Remembering that Desolate Heaven Emperor, then looking at each other standing side by side now, they smiled again.
"All right, Little Black. Don't be rude!"
Wu Shi spoke as he stroked Little Black Dog's head.
"Thank you, Emperor. Little Black has nothing with which to repay you!"
Black Emperor prostrated himself. An Immortal King, he bowed deeply before Son of Heaven.
"You are fortunate indeed. Very good. Since I have accepted this great bow from you, chant my imperial name, and I shall protect your true spirit through reincarnation. You may behold eternal life."
Son of Heaven smiled, and all things stood still. An endless will seemed to slip into the eternal heavens and boundless laws of the Dao, engraving his intent and reflecting his thoughts. This was the standing of a Supreme Immortal Emperor.
