Ye Xuan defeats Jin Hai with a single move. Seven other powerful cultivators, including Impermanence Sword Lord and Bai Shuiyue, face a golden manifestation of power. The Blood Child, a peerless prodigy from the Blood Clan, orders a joint assault on Ye Xuan. However, Ye Xuan effortlessly nullifies all their powerful techniques with a single step. He then questions his opponents about the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Emperor.

"When embarking on the Primordial Emperor Road, did you happen to notice the name Heaven Suppressing Ancient Emperor among the top ten inscribed on the Emperor Road Stele?"

Ye Xuan's composed inquiry resonated like a thunderclap of spring, sending ripples of astonishment through everyone present, their minds reeling.

Could it be...

This Ye Xuan has somehow inherited the legacy of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Emperor?!

The Heaven Suppressing Great Dao?!

Is it not rumored that, aside from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Emperor himself, no other soul could ever grasp this formidable power?!

Even if he has indeed mastered the potency of the Heaven Suppressing Great Dao, it shouldn't exert such an overwhelming suppression upon our respective dao, should it?

This defies all logic!

"This is unequivocally not the Heaven Suppressing Great Dao!"

Bloody Child's countenance turned ashen, and though he strained to rise, he found himself utterly incapable. He fixed his gaze upon Ye Xuan, a profound sense of injustice gnawing at his heart.

A miscalculation.

This individual hadn't even exerted his full might during his recent confrontation with Jin Hai!

The sheer power this person wields is likely approaching that of a Great Saint.

Below the Great Saint realm, who else possesses the capability to contend with this formidable figure?!

Is this truly the fabled prodigy from the Lower Realm?

It appears he is not as inept as the prevalent rumors suggest!

A wave of complex emotions washed over the onlookers.

Amidst the assembled crowd, the sole individual still maintaining their footing was Senluo Girl, who had maintained an unbroken silence throughout the entire ordeal.

Perhaps, she was simply beyond the oppressive reach of his power.

"Congratulations, your conjecture was incorrect."

Ye Xuan offered a leisurely smile directed at Bloody Child.

The moment his words concluded, Bloody Child's mind was thrown into disarray, and he promptly succumbed to unconsciousness.

Concurrently, a peculiar droplet of blood, shimmering with a nine-colored divine radiance, materialized before Ye Xuan!

This represented the dao mastered by Bloody Child, the formidable Blood Dao!

He had partaken in the Blood of Myriad Spirits, granting him an unfathomable dominion over the blood of all living entities across existence.

Legend tells of a Blood Clan Great Emperor in ages past who, in a fit of rage, caused the very blood of countless beings throughout the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds to writhe and boil uncontrollably.

With naught but a single thought, he could purportedly drain the lifeblood of billions!

Bloody Child trod this very path.

Ye Xuan extended a hand, his fingers closing around the nine-colored blood, his gaze as placid as still water. With a gentle exertion of force, he caused it to dissipate into nothingness.

He had traversed the vast expanse of the Three Thousand Great Dao countless times.

Within the myriad arts of the world, I command ninety-nine.

The so-called Innate Divine Abilities possessed by these individuals were arts Ye Xuan had long since mastered.

He required no special techniques to dismantle them; a subtle invocation of the Heaven Suppressing Great Dao, coupled with the might of his Taoist Body, was sufficient to unravel their every intricacy instantaneously.

This realization brought a certain idiom to Ye Xuan's mind.

Before absolute power, all else is but transient mist!

The nine supposed invincible prodigies of the Heavenly Domain proved to be no match for Ye Xuan, their prowess fading into insignificance.

In this vast existence, could any other youth truly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him?

Let alone the burgeoning prodigies, would even those ancient recluses lurking in the shadows dare to reveal themselves before Ye Xuan?

Should he so choose, he could single-handedly vanquish every soul upon the Emperor Road.

Yet, what true purpose would such a feat serve?

To tread the Emperor Road anew is merely to reclaim what was once unjustly denied.

And, incidentally, to unravel the enigma concealed within the Bronze Immortal Palace.

Furthermore, to ascend once more to the very pinnacle of the Emperor Road.

That is all there is to it.

Ye Xuan exchanged no further words with Impermanence Sword Lord, Bai Shuiyue, and the others, merely flicking his sleeve with nonchalance, sending them into a collective swoon.

He then proceeded to absorb the entirety of their evolved dao.

Ye Xuan's gaze eventually settled upon Senluo Girl, who had remained utterly silent from the commencement of the proceedings. His expression was one of tranquil expectation.

In the ensuing moment, Senluo Girl abruptly knelt on a single knee, her head lowered as the ethereal mist that veiled her slowly dissipated, unveiling a visagelike an angel's – exquisitely beautiful, utterly flawless.

Her demeanor was one of cold enchantment, exuding an aura of unapproachability!

"Senluo Girl of White Tiger Hall, of the Revenge Lineage, offers her respects to Emperor Ye!"

Senluo Girl proclaimed with profound reverence.

Had Bloody Child and the others retained their consciousness, they would undoubtedly have been struck with utter disbelief.

The most formidable and influential among the nine, Senluo Girl, was in fact affiliated with the Revenge Lineage?!

The very faction currently standing in direct opposition to the Twin Emperors?!

Ye Xuan displayed no outward surprise, offering a slight nod before inquiring, "Has Ye Zhen emerged from his seclusion?"

Senluo Girl responded with the utmost deference, "Reporting to Emperor Ye, our leader emerged from seclusion several days prior. Upon receiving your command, he personally undertook the interception of the Emperor General. By the time I arrived in the Lower Realm, our leader had already convened with the leaders of Asura Hall and Black Blade Sect."

"Furthermore, our leader instructed me to relay a message to Emperor Ye: the esteemed elder from Star Picking Hall has also made their appearance."

As she delivered these final words, Senluo Girl could scarcely conceal the palpable excitement radiating from her.

Her true identity had always been well-hidden. While outwardly appearing as a disciple of the Palace of Darkness, she, along with her senior brother, were secretly operatives within the White Tiger Hall of the Revenge Lineage.

Her most admired senior brother served as her guide.

Ye Xuan gave a slight nod, signaling for Senluo Girl to stand and speak.

Senluo Girl rose with practiced respect, casting a quick, furtive glance at Ye Xuan before her gaze dropped once more.

This subtle action brought a smile to Ye Xuan’s face. "Calm yourself, I don't bite," he said gently.

A deep blush instantly spread across Senluo Girl's face, and she stammered, finding no words.

Ye Xuan refrained from further teasing, addressing her with a level tone. "Do you wish to continue associating with these individuals, or will you forge your own Emperor's Path?"

Senluo Girl paused for a moment, then meekly inquired, "May I accompany Emperor Ye on the Primordial Emperor Road?"

Fearing any potential misunderstanding from Ye Xuan, she quickly added, "Prior to my arrival, I made inquiries about the situation of the Emperor Road. I am convinced that the Primordial Emperor Road is the path best suited for me."

Ye Xuan let out a soft chuckle. "You most certainly may."

Senluo Girl’s head snapped up, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Emperor Ye actually agreed?!

Meeting Ye Xuan's steady gaze, Senluo Girl hastily lowered her head again and murmured, "Th-thank you, Emperor Ye."

Ye Xuan inclined his head slightly. "The Heavenly Dao Suppression has been lifted. Let us proceed. Await me at the conclusion of the Primordial Emperor Road."

Senluo Girl followed faithfully at Ye Xuan’s heels. Although her mind was a whirlwind of questions, she did not dare utter a single one aloud.

Her arrival in the Lower Realm this time was entirely unexpected, to be perfectly honest.

Upon discovering Ye Xuan’s true identity as Emperor Ye, Senluo Girl had been overcome with excitement.

He was, after all, the paramount leader of the entire Revenge Lineage!

And what kind of formidable force was the Revenge Lineage?

They were an organization capable of standing toe-to-toe with the Double Emperors.

Furthermore, based on the information she possessed.

The extent of the Revenge Lineage revealed thus far constituted merely the tip of a colossal iceberg.

Even prominent entities like the Black Blade Sect and Asura Hall had not yet unleashed their full capabilities.

The first instance she grasped this reality, she was utterly astonished, profoundly impressed by the sheer might of the Revenge Lineage.

The more information she acquired, the greater her sense of assurance became.

However, regarding Emperor Ye, the figurehead of the entire Revenge Lineage, her profound awe and persistent curiosity remained undiminished.

Whispers within the Revenge Lineage spoke of Emperor Ye having existed for immeasurable eons, personally establishing the organization, and meticulously plotting for centuries.

His ultimate objectives remained shrouded in mystery, unknown to all.

Yet, his terrifying combat prowess instilled deep apprehension even within the ranks of the Revenge Lineage.

Now, beholding the actual Emperor Ye, she found him surprisingly approachable, appearing as a youthful man, making it difficult to reconcile him with the legendary Emperor Ye.
