Her head was slightly lowered, a bright smile on her face, but her eyes held a deathly look. She saw her fate clearly, yet had no choice but to accept it.
Sometimes, people live not for themselves, but for other things.
In her eyes, dying for the Divine Dynasty was a burden she had to bear.
However, she wanted to die before Xinggui, hoping her blood could save the Emperor's ancestor, so her younger sister wouldn't have to die.
She only had one younger sister. Before her mother passed away and when her older sister married far away, they both told her to take good care of Xinggui.
But now she was exhausted, and could only do her last bit of strength, hoping to protect her beloved younger sister...
"You're only at the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, and Xinggui is only at the Four Extremes level. The combined power of your Ziwei King Blood is negligible, a drop in the ocean, utterly meaningless."
Su Yu stroked the girl's black hair in his arms. His figure was majestic and imposing, but there was a faint sorrow in his eyes, as if he was worried about his descendants.
"If it can extend the life of our imperial grandfather, that's enough. Perhaps there will be a turning point in the future. My father is also striving to reach the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform. I once wanted to protect everything in the Divine Dynasty, and now that I have this opportunity, I will not give it up."
Princess Yueshi spoke these words with gentle eyes, and her fearless attitude towards death touched Su Yu.
"I'm willing to die for Ziwei..."
As Su Yu murmured these words, for some reason, she felt a pang of sadness.
He wiped away Princess Xinggui's tears, then turned his gaze to the woman in the white dress. His eyes held admiration as he softly said, "I have a technique that doesn't require your deaths. If you succeed, it might help you reach the Immortal Platform Second Heaven."
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Yue Shi's thoughts were in turmoil. Her face first showed joy, but then she quickly calmed down and said softly, "Is it a divine power infusion? The Emperor Ancestor doesn't need to do this. What use is it for Yue Shi to step into the Immortal Platform Second Heaven? She can't protect the Divine Dynasty. Ziwei needs a pillar like the Emperor Ancestor, not a Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure."
You're mistaken...
Su Yu shook his head, a faint smile on his face. He flicked his finger and retrieved the Void Dao patterns from Princess Yueshi's body.
Ignoring the red marks on her wrist from the divine chains, Yue Shi saw the slightly troubled look on the " Imperial Ancestor Shenwu's " face, and smiled sweetly, like a vibrant crystal flower, softly saying, "I hope the Ancestor Yanming for Ziwei, I am willing to give everything!"
"Remember what you said!" Su Yu's expression was calm, his eyes shone with divine light, making him appear even more sacred.
" Xinggui is willing too; I only hope that the Emperor's injuries will heal."
The girl in the golden dress held Su Yu in her arms. Her delicate nose twitched slightly as she smelled a faint, intoxicating fragrance of Divine Medicine that made her feel extremely comfortable.
"The Emperor knew!"
Su Yu glanced at the girl in his arms, nodded, and felt somewhat gratified.
With a flick of his sleeve, wisps of Chaos energy rose up, starlight Yue Hua fell, and pale pink feathers of light flew out, covering the area. Everything was contained within the Chaos.
This marks the beginning of Princess Yueshi and Princess Xinggui's path to redemption; the fate of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty rests in their hands...
The Big Dipper, in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland, deep within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
Beneath the abyss, a vast expanse of ruins stretches endlessly, exuding an incredibly ancient aura. What era did it originate from? It's hard to say.
Big Stone appeared before them, quiet and profound, as if connecting to a vast immortal Immortal Domain. The tranquility of this place was unsettling, and the laws of time were incredibly dense, almost capable of stripping away the Life essence of Great Emperor —truly terrifying.
Within the stone gate lies a Chaos Pure Land, where Xian Dao laws flow, pure white Immortal Qi swirls, and the Immortal Domain appears and disappears.
Deep within, an ancient bronze palace appears, standing tall in this fairyland, accompanied by clear springs and adorned with exotic plants and rare flowers; the ancient palace looks magnificent.
Ye Fan sat quietly inside the Immortal Palace, beneath a futon filled with Daoist energy.
Opposite him stood a woman in white wearing Ghost Face Mask. She was so beautiful that she seemed unreal, ethereal and serene. Though she was right in front of him, it felt as if he were in the Immortal Realm.
She appears ethereal and otherworldly, with unparalleled beauty, but once she unleashes her power, the world itself will be destroyed; no one throughout history has been able to stop her.
The Empress looked at Ye Fan silently, without saying a word.
" Great Emperor, in this Lifetime, I am Ye Fan." Ye Fan lowered his head, his eyes filled with shame.
During this time, he experienced everything that person went through, but having seen the world, he still believed that he was Ye Fan. Even if he accepted his past life, he would still prioritize this life!
Upon hearing Ye Fan's reply, the Empress's gaze dimmed slightly. The nine-colored immortal light swirled around her before finally fading away without leaving any trace.
She gazed at the boy before her, nodded, and then vanished into the mist, as if she had never been there...
" Great Emperor!" Ye Fan called out, but received no response.
Then, he appeared outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, somewhat bewildered and at a loss.
The last thing he remembered was fainting at the foot of the holy mountain, and then he appeared here.
"It seems like I'm missing a part of my memory. What exactly happened during this time?" Ye Fan asked, looking at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land before him in a daze.
However, he was soon astonished. In his golden Bitter Sea, the four bronze fragments that used to roam freely had now yielded the Life Spring and were curled up on one side of the Bitter Sea, not daring to move.
Within the Life Spring, celestial light soared into the sky, dazzling and radiant, with wisps of Immortal Qi emanating from it.
An ancient bronze sword floated and sank, radiating Eternal light. Its sharp blade seemed capable of severing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, reversing the past and the future, far surpassing the sacred golden halberd.
"A rare treasure... is it a weapon of the Desolate Slave? With such power, it must be Great Saint Weapon!"
Upon seeing the bronze sword, Ye Fan suddenly remembered something: after he fainted, it was Xiao Nannan who picked the Sacred Fruit and saved him.
Moreover, on their way home, the Xiao Nannan found a bronze sword...
However, the Green Copper pieces were fragments of the Immortal Cauldron, which the Holy Dao Heavenly Halberd had been unable to move in the past. It was quite strange that the bronze sword was able to push them aside this time.
Where is Nannan?
Ye Fan belatedly realized he was thinking of his younger sister and panicked, running towards the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
"Please, please don't let anything happen to you!" Ye Fan prayed.
When he reached the forbidden area, a beautifully sculpted little girl was looking around. When she saw Ye Fan, she smiled happily.
"Brother, I'm here!"
Ye Fan took a deep breath, a relieved smile appearing on his face, and strode forward into the sunlight...
From inside the stone gate, a being covered in golden fur emerged. He glanced at Ye Fan and the little girl, his gaze profound and unfathomable.
"It's a pity this Lifetime has been so difficult. If only you had come sooner..."
The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body sighed, the clanging of chains echoing from its body, and walked back into the Chaos mist.
Chapter 373 Encirclement and Slaughter of the Sacred Body
In a shady spot, Su Yu gazed intently at the young man and the little girl in front of him. Beside him stood a beautiful woman dressed in moon-white attire.
"That's the Sacred Body Ye Fan!" Princess Yue Ling exclaimed in surprise, finding it hard to believe.
During this period, the other party stirred up a storm in the world, and there were many rumors about him in the Five Regions. It was said that he tried to break through to the Four Extremes, but his life force was destroyed by the Innate Dao Diagram, and his life was about to end.
However, the person who came before them was full of vitality and did not look like a dying person at all. In addition, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was right in front of them.
The woman in white's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, unable to comprehend the cause and effect.
However, one thing is certain: Ye Fan's ability to enter and leave the Land of Death multiple times must mean he possesses some secret.
"It seems she still chose this path. Of course, how could a conviction that has lasted for two hundred thousand years be changed by a little ripple?" Su Yu shook his head, looking dazed.
He had guessed this moment when he told Ye Fan about the Empress's brother.
Obtaining the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid meant he owed Ruthless One a debt of karma, and therefore he wanted to change the original timeline to bring the two together. After all, the Empress had made many arrangements, and Ye Fan had also received gifts from her.
However, in the original story, Ye Fan consistently avoided discussing his past life...
Now, the two have indeed met again, but everything is still the same as before; everything he did ultimately proved meaningless.
Thinking of this, Su Yu smiled with relief. He made a hand seal, divine light flowing across his forehead, and a crystalline Power of Thought flew out from his Immortal Platform, heading forward.
This clone of his wasn't there for the Sacred Fruit or the Divine Spring, but to return the " Ascension Immortal Scripture " from last time.
Now that he no longer needs to exploit Ye Fan, he will not return to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land after this incident.
Su Yu withdrew his gaze and whispered to the woman beside him, "Let's go, I'll accompany you back to Central Province!"
Princess Yue Ling nodded slightly and followed Su Yu onto the Void array platform, heading towards the Qinling in the Central Province.
Outside the forbidden area, Ye Fan suddenly stopped. He shielded the Xiao Nannan in his arms, then drew his golden spear and looked ahead warily.
A Qingfeng swept by, carrying the rich fragrance of Divine Medicine. Su Yu stepped out of the Void, his feet treading on the Chaos and primordial chaos.
He remained calm, glanced at the little girl, and said, " Ye Fan!"
Only after seeing the person's face clearly through the mist did Ye Fan breathe a sigh of relief. He clasped his hands together, returning the Sacred Dao Heavenly Halberd to the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Then, with a smile on his face, he strode over, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Senior."
Su Yu nodded without saying much. He pointed his fingers together as a sword, his fingertips swirling with purple-gold light, and touched Ye Fan's brow, passing on the flawless " Yuhua Scripture " to him.
It then transformed into a body that dissipated into pure energy, condensing into a Chaos Dao Scroll, which landed in the little girl's hand.
The jade slip felt warm and smooth to the touch. The Xiao Nannan held it somewhat bewilderedly and called out kindly, "Big brother, you dropped something."
However, all around was silent and deserted, and no one responded to him. Only the dark ancient trees and bushes looked somewhat eerie.
After several hundred breaths, Ye Fan memorized the scripture, opened his eyes, and wanted to say something to Su Yu, but the other party was no longer there, leaving him feeling empty.
"Unfortunately, we didn't bring the Sacred Fruit this time."
Ye Fan felt somewhat annoyed, thinking he should have picked a few Sacred Fruit.
"Brother, do you want some fruit? But there are some big sisters on the mountain who look really fierce, Nannan don't dare take too much," the little girl said timidly, glancing back at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
Seeing the Xiao Nannan's somewhat frail appearance, Ye Fan felt a surge of pity. He placed the little girl on his shoulder and then smiled, "No, brother should thank you, little Nannan. Without you, I might already be dead inside."
Hearing the word "death," the Xiao Nannan felt a lingering fear. Her big eyes fixed on Ye Fan, she said earnestly, "Brother won't die. Nannan 'll always be with you."
For some reason, seeing the little girl's expression made Ye Fan feel a pang of sadness and he wanted to cry. However, he suppressed this emotion, put on a smile, took a piece of candy from his Bitter Sea, and put it in the Xiao Nannan's mouth...
He then increased his speed and left the place using the Merak Steps.
However, before he could leave Territory of Yan, an enemy appeared in front of him.
In the Great Wilderness, a troop of iron cavalry flew out from the sky, a dark mass that surrounded the two. The leader, with a gloomy expression and the insignia of the Desolate Antiquity Ji Family on his clothes, was none other than Ji Yanming.
"I knew I was right. Being able to produce the Sacred Fruit several times, when you were on the verge of death, you would definitely run to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land."
Ji Yanming was surrounded by a roaring dragon aura, and the aura of the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform emanated from his body. There was a deep killing intent in his eyes.
"You actually returned to the Immortal Platform Secret Realm." Ye Fan's gaze was cold, but a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.
He first placed the Xiao Nannan into the Cauldron of All-Things Mother Qi, then spread his five fingers wide, his blood energy surging, and a golden holy power shot out, enveloping the area in wisps. A dazzling golden Heavenly Halberd flew out and slashed towards his enemy.
His only trump card now is this Sacred Dao Heavenly Halberd; the bronze sword is completely unrefinable, just like those pieces of Green Copper.
"Without a source, you cannot activate the Saint Weapon at all!"
Ji Yanming revealed a cold smile, completely unconcerned about the sharp edge of the Holy Path that was so close at hand.
