Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1011: The Arrival of Dragon Xuan
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
"Sun God King?"
Upon seeing the man clad in red robes, Ye Yun expressed a touch of surprise.
He pondered why the Sun God King of the Three Fire God Cult would venture to the Grey Mist Sea within the Daluo Region.
The Sun Ancient Region was so magnificent; he wondered why this individual wasn't enjoying life there but chose to visit such an insignificant locale. What could be his objective?
Ye Yun's curiosity was instantly ignited.
He maintained his silence, continuing to follow Gu Anran, all the while keenly observing the movements of the woman in red.
Ye Yun remained oblivious to the truth.
The Sun God King he believed to be present had already been subdued; it was currently the avatar of Eastern Emperor Taiyi who held sway.
With his hands clasped behind his back, Eastern Emperor Taiyi approached the red-robed woman, assessed her thoroughly, and then inquired with evident interest, "How is it possible for someone like you to be found in the Grey Mist Sea?"
"Ha ha..."
The woman in red let out a wild laugh, her body convulsing intensely in an attempt to break free. However, an unseen force held her captive, rendering any escape futile.
After all, her cultivation level was merely in the Divine Monarch Realm.
In contrast, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, standing before her, had achieved cultivation in the Divine Sovereign Realm.
This avatar, though at the Third Layer of the God-Honored Realm, possessed a might such that even cultivators at the Seventh Level of the God Venerate Realm were no match for Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Such a high level of cultivation in the Grey Mist Sea made finding a worthy opponent an incredibly rare occurrence.
He could be considered an entity of unparalleled power in this area.
"She appears to be quite unhinged..."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi mused inwardly.
He extended a hand, gently pushing aside her disheveled hair to get a better look at her beautiful, youthful face.
"Not bad looking at all, so how did you end up in such a state of madness?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi frowned slightly.
Abruptly, an immense wave of spiritual attack force surged towards him, prompting Eastern Emperor Taiyi to shake his head gently, effortlessly shattering the assault.
"Your realm is far too low; such a spiritual attack poses no threat to me whatsoever!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi stated with a cold tone.
The red-robed woman's eyes burned with a scarlet intensity as she glared icily at Eastern Emperor Taiyi, shrieking, "Release me..."
"Release you? How could I possibly do that?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi guffawed, a look of pity tinging his gaze.
"Little girl, rampaging through the Grey Mist Sea, how many lives have you consumed? Today, I shall act as heaven's instrument and cleanse the world of your wicked presence!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi sneered coldly.
He slowly elevated one hand, and in that instant, the surrounding void grew heavy and oppressive.
The ceaseless flow of the grey mist ground to a halt.
Sensing the imminent threat of demise, the woman in red struggled with all her might, but her efforts were in vain, eliciting only a series of muffled cries.
"This Sun God King truly is meddlesome!"
From a considerable distance away.
Ye Yun's brow furrowed, a distinct sense of displeasure washing over him.
This woman was a disciple of his Dragon God Sect, belonging to the two hundred forty-ninth generation. Regardless of her errant behavior, she had always shown a modicum of respect to him, the Thirteen Generations Ancestor.
Ye Yun would, under no circumstances, permit her to perish.
Whether he had located Dragon Xuan or not was inconsequential in this matter.
Just as he was poised to intervene.
Rumble...
Without warning, directly above the two figures, a brilliant vortex rapidly materialized in the void.
"Who exactly are you?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi halted his actions, his eyes narrowing as he fixed his gaze upon the unfolding phenomenon in the void.
A brilliant beam of light descended, akin to a shooting star, plunging directly into the heart of the grey mist.
The dazzling light quickly vanished.
At that precise moment, a youth garbed in white suddenly materialized beside the struggling red-robed woman.
The youth in white possessed striking features, a handsome visage, an aura of extraordinary presence, and captivating eyes that emanated a truly breathtaking allure.
"Dragon Xuan?"
Upon recognizing the youth in white, Ye Yun's expression froze, and a tempest of astonishment erupted within his mind.
The Sect Master of the Dragon God Sect from the two hundred fiftieth generation had finally made his appearance.
What incredible fortune!
It truly is a case of seeking something in vain, only for it to appear effortlessly!
Ye Yun was overcome with immense excitement.
This elusive Dragon Xuan, appearing so suddenly in the Grey Mist Sea, must surely be here with the intention of rescuing the red-robed woman.
"Who are you?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi scrutinized the white-robed youth, his expression growing stern as he posed the question.
"I am here to retrieve someone; I have no desire to exchange pleasantries with you."
The youth in white spoke with an air of indifference, his hands behind his back, his eyes languid and somewhat distant, projecting the dignified bearing of a master cultivated over generations.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's brows knitted together slightly.
And at this very moment, from the deepest reaches of a colossal abyss within the Grey Mist Sea, where Eastern Emperor Taiyi's true form was in the process of shattering its seal, he abruptly opened his eyes.
"What sort of insignificant nobody is this?"
A frigid glint flashed within Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes, a colossal surge of fury contained just beneath the surface of his tone.
The cultivation level of that white-robed youth had already ascended to the Divine King Realm.
His avatar, by any measure, was no match for such power.
Beside him, a man clad in black robes opened his eyes, his expression grave, and stated with a cold tone, "Eastern Emperor, the matter at hand is of utmost importance; do not act rashly!"
"I am aware!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi responded with a sullen tone.
He had already committed to the terms set by the Youtian Demon Clan, thus he could not afford to act recklessly at this juncture.
If he failed to break the seal through their agreed method, it would also result in the mission's failure.
While curiosity regarding the contents of the seal gnawed at him, the most crucial item in Eastern Emperor Taiyi's mind was the Chaotic Bell.
He had descended upon the Divine Land with the sole purpose of acquiring this spiritual treasure that had accompanied him through his existence.
"That individual is indeed quite formidable..."
Another man in black robes murmured quietly, his eyes betraying a flicker of thought.
"It cannot be denied that the Divine Land harbors exceptionally powerful entities; otherwise, the strong among our clans would not have perished..."
A black-robed man remarked with a wry smile.
Despite the Youtian Demon Clan holding the paramount position in the Demon World and possessing overwhelming strength, they still dared not underestimate the might of the Divine Land.
Following a brief exchange, all present closed their eyes once more.
Below, a colossal grey stone gradually grew more transparent.
The elongated object concealed within was becoming increasingly discernible.
From a distance, it bore the resemblance of a long-necked vase.
...
With Eastern Emperor's resolve firmly set, the avatar's disposition would naturally undergo a transformation.
"This woman... I only recently encountered her. If you wish to rescue her, feel free to proceed!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and stepped back a couple of paces.
"You understand the present circumstances well."
The youth garbed in white robes offered a faint smile, pivoted on his heel, and gazed warmly at the woman adorned in crimson.
"So, you have successfully absorbed and integrated the final Myriad Essence Wheel. My efforts were not in vain, though you did arrive a little late..."
The white-robed youth spoke with a composed demeanor.
His captivating gaze, sharp as a sword's edge, swept across the form of the red-robed woman.
The woman's crimson eyes, peeking through her disheveled ebony hair, were fixed upon the white-robed youth standing before her.
Her gaze shifted continuously, unable to settle.
"It's you!"
The frenzied expression on the red-robed woman's face subsided, and she spoke slowly, her voice saturated with an immeasurable depth of resentment.
"You still recognize me; it seems there is hope for you yet...
Now that you have arrived in the Divine Land, I shall not abandon you. Come, I will escort you back to the Dragon God Sect, where you shall reclaim all that you have lost!"
The white-robed youth smiled faintly, his bearing one of effortless grace.
His gaze, tender and soft, reached out with his pale hands, gently stroking her cheek.
His actions were tender and focused, akin to a doting parent caressing their own child.
"Dragon God Sect?"
Upon hearing Long Xuan's words, Ye Yun's brow furrowed distinctly.
Could that scoundrel possibly have established yet another Dragon God Sect within the Divine Land?
