Strongest Abandoned Son Chapter 2257 (END) - Where Are You Finale
Previously on Strongest Abandoned Son...
After restoring the Divine Dao Realm, Ye Mo intended to embark on a cosmic journey with his wives. Therefore, he decided to debilitate all the races prior to his departure. The impending assault on Divine Dao Realm in a hundred years would provide the ideal moment. By unveiling his prowess before the demon race, no one would dare invade Divine Dao Realm.
Dongfang Wang erupted in maniacal laughter as his power abruptly surged. In the blink of an eye, a tremendous blast shattered the void. The realm domain restraining Dongfang Wang crumbled instantly.
Ye Mo’s god essence giant hand swiftly seized the void. Although Dongfang Wang’s essence spirit and storage ring fell into Ye Mo’s grasp, a yellow beam burst forth and vanished into the void.
Not even Ye Mo managed to intercept that yellow beam in time.
“Haha, Ye Mo. Even if I don’t flee, you still can’t claim my abstruse yellow orb.” Dongfang Wang’s essence spirit cackled within Ye Mo’s hand.
Only then did Ye Mo understand that the escaping light was the abstruse yellow orb. He felt deep regret. As a treasure of world creation, the abstruse yellow orb was invaluable, yet Dongfang Wang abandoned it. Remarkably, Dongfang Wang preserved his essence spirit post-self-destruction. Had Ye Mo been slower, Dongfang Wang might have truly escaped.
Ye Mo had no interest in further words. With a crush of his hand, Dongfang Wang’s essence spirit disintegrated into nothingness.
Having slain Dongfang Wang, Ye Mo experienced immense relief. The three brothers had long been a persistent nuisance, and now he had eradicated it completely.
The loss of the abstruse yellow orb didn’t trouble Ye Mo much. He possessed plenty of treasures already. What thrilled him was successfully eliminating Dongfang Wang.
Ye Mo retrieved the World Mountain secured by the Great Primordial God Rune. Satisfaction filled him—at least the World Mountain hadn’t slipped away.
With spirit sense blades, Ye Mo sliced through the storage ring’s restrictions and peered inside, only to stare in stunned silence.
His daze stemmed not from the storage ring being a small world, but from the sight of an individual tirelessly crafting formation flags and delving into formations.
Ye Mo promptly extracted the elderly man and questioned in astonishment, “Old Lu, how did Dongfang Wang capture you and force you to forge formation flags for him?”
Lu Wuhu finally recognized Ye Mo standing before him. He remained speechless for a moment. Upon verification, joy and surprise burst forth as he exclaimed, “Brother Ye, it’s truly you! Where is that brat Dongfang Wang?”
“I killed him.” Ye Mo pondered how Lu Wuhu had ended up in Dongfang Wang’s clutches.
“You managed to kill Dongfang Wang?” Lu Wuhu stared at Ye Mo in utter shock. Ye Mo appeared utterly unremarkable. He had witnessed Dongfang Wang’s formidable might firsthand.
A sudden realization struck him. “Brother Ye, where are we right now?”
“In the void beyond Divine Dao Realm. How did Dongfang Wang capture you? What kind of formation flags were you creating?” Ye Mo inquired. Lu Wuhu was merely an abstruse immortal—why would Dongfang Wang retain him?
“You’ve already vindicated dao?” Lu Wuhu evidently wasn’t an average abstruse immortal. He had gleaned much knowledge from Dongfang Wang.
With a heavy sigh, he continued, “It all traces back to that world rock. Dongfang Wang tracked me down using it. Once he learned I was a master forger, he supplied me with countless jade slips on forging and formations to study. Then he dragged me to a location, claiming a chaos green lotus lay within, though he couldn’t enter himself.
He possessed a formation capable of harvesting the chaos green lotus, but it demanded hundreds of millions of formation flags. I was compelled to produce them for him. Without your intervention, I’d have slaved away for countless millennia.”
Ye Mo finally understood. That explained why he could never locate Lu Wuhu.
“What if I transport you back to the immortal realm? I’ve established Mo Yue Immortal Sect there. I have matters to attend to first, but once finished, I’ll visit Mo Yue Immortal Sect to find you.” Ye Mo proposed.
“You’re able to send me to the immortal realm?” Lu Wuhu responded with delighted surprise. His low cultivation made the void profoundly uncomfortable for him.
Ye Mo ripped open the void and ushered Lu Wuhu inside. “You’ll see for yourself when you arrive.”
…
Upon dispatching Lu Wuhu, Ye Mo made his way back to the demon race. Entering the guest palace, he found nearly everyone rising in astonishment. They had all beheld Dongfang Wang’s terrifying strength, yet Ye Mo returned unscathed.
Zhen Bingyu stood up at once. Though she projected confidence, Ye Mo’s safe return brought her true ease.
“Pill divine Ye, what happened to Dongfang Wang?” Fan Gao demanded urgently.
Ye Mo disregarded the pair and clasped his fists in salute to Jiao Dan and Tang Congyin. “Fellow immortals, feel free to visit Divine Dao Realm as honored guests. I’ll take my leave today.”
At these words, those familiar with Ye Mo all rose. Even Tang Congyin couldn’t help inquiring, “Pill divine Ye…”
Ye Mo anticipated her question and replied with a smile, “I didn’t spot him. Maybe he departed for some reason.”
Ye Mo’s response remained deliberately vague.
Disbelief etched across everyone’s faces as they gazed at Ye Mo. Dongfang Wang leaving of his own accord was utterly implausible.
Ye Mo ignored their thoughts entirely. He approached the green-robed man and declared, “Your disciple has a conflict with me. I need to question him on a few matters.”
Zhantai Yi's expression shifted upon Ye Mo's return. She rose to her feet too, stating, “Ye Mo, I have a few questions I want to ask you alone.”
Without gaining permission from the green-robed man, Ye Mo seized Feng Kong.
Next, Ye Mo ripped open the space inside the guest palace and vanished with Zhen Bingyu. He didn't glance at Zhantai Yi even once, much less reply to her query.
The green-robed man's face turned ashen. He stood up, cupped his fists in salute to Yi Yuanzhou, then departed. He chose not to tear space open there. Whether he rushed off to rescue his disciple or lacked the face to remain, nobody could tell.
Zhantai Yi's face paled as Ye Mo dismissed her without a word. She stared at the spot where he had torn open space for a long moment before sinking back into her seat in despair.
…
Within the void, Ye Mo hurled Feng Kong aside and demanded coldly, “Feng Kong, many years back, a woman named Ruan Jun arrived at your grand emperor estate. Where is she now? Tell me everything you know about her.”
Feng Kong had long suspected Dongfang Wang's death at Ye Mo's hands upon seeing him return alone.
“I don’t know where she went. I only knew she was an immortal emperor and was heavily injured and…”
Ye Mo cut Feng Kong off before he could finish. “And you took advantage of her, right?”
“I…” Helpless before overwhelming power, those were Feng Kong's final words prior to his annihilation.
…
Mo Yue Immortal Sect main peak, Mo Yue peak.
Luo Ying, Mu Xiaoyun, Song Yangzhu, Ning Qingxue, Zhen Bingyu and Su Jingwen gathered beside Ye Mo. They understood that in a hundred years, Ye Mo would restore the Divine Dao Realm, which might spark a massive clash with other races.
“Husband, don’t worry. The Divine Dao Realm has many divine emperors too. We’re not necessarily weaker than them,” Ning Qingxue said, clutching Ye Mo’s arm.
They had lingered by Ye Mo's side for a long while, but he uttered not a word. Ning Qingxue believed he fretted over the events a century from now.
Luo Ying spoke softly, “He’s not worried about that. He’s just thinking about some people.”
Ye Mo glanced at them and smiled. “I’m scared they won’t come a hundred years later.”
Ye Mo sighed then. “I just suddenly thought of Ye Xing. I wonder if he’s okay, and Ting Ting…”
Ye Mo gazed into the distant void. The person who troubled him most and whom he longed to see above all was that girl willing to jump from the building with him. The girl who gifted him the chaos world. It was the girl afraid of ghosts yet determined to hunt them.
Even after attaining primordial essence, Ye Mo still found no trace of Luo Xuan.
Luo Xuan, where are you?
