Ye Xuan discovered Ao Qingxue sealed within a Space-time Blood Jade, being used as a spirit stone to absorb her power. Enraged, he rescued her and stabilized her condition before destroying Empress Changxi's cultivation grounds. Afterward, Ye Xuan declared his name and intention to kill the Double Emperors across the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"I will allow the Double Emperors to struggle for a time."

"On the day they return to the Heavenly Domain."

"That will be the moment they kneel and repent."

Ye Xuan slowly breathed in and out, sending these words directly across the world.

His coming to the Heavenly Domain this time.

Was originally with the intent to kill the Double Emperors.

To kill them completely unprepared.

He simply had not expected those two fellows to vanish.

But that does not affect anything.

They are gone.

Then it is just right to rip out their entire power by the roots!

"Those under the Double Emperors have only two paths."

"Submit, or..."

"Die."

"If there are any who refuse, they may come to the Chaos Forbidden Land of Infinite Heaven to seek this Emperor."

With that said.

Ye Xuan no longer cared whether the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Domain were boiling over, landed on the back of the phoenix formed from the featherless meat-chicken, and flew toward the Heavenly Domain Gate.

And at this very moment.

The entire Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Domain were utterly shaken.

Countless peerless experts were whispering.

It seems this new Emperor Ye Xuan has truly declared war on the Double Emperors!

The Heavenly Dao Suppression has yet to be fully unsealed.

The Emperor Road has not yet ended.

Is the Emperor Battle about to begin?

The Emperor Battle, once cut off in the Emperor Era of all Emperors—could it truly be opening again in this age?

One question after another circled through everyone’s hearts.

Yun Shan Emperor General, who stayed behind in Undying Heaven, had already rescued Blood Robe Emperor General at this moment.

Blood Robe Emperor General’s face was deathly pale; he had naturally heard those words of Ye Xuan.

His face was ashen, and he did not speak.

Yun Shan Emperor General sat cross-legged in the nearby void, eyes tightly shut.

After a long time.

Blood Robe Emperor General rasped, "How will you choose?"

Yun Shan Emperor General did not speak.

Blood Robe Emperor General bared his teeth in a smile. "I am willing to go to my death."

Yun Shan Emperor General slowly opened his eyes, his gaze complicated. He sighed and said, "Perhaps you do not truly understand the Undying Night Emperor..."

As the strongest Emperor General under Empress Changxi, Yun Shan Emperor General had followed the Empress very early on.

He was the second Emperor General to follow Empress Changxi, and so he knew much more.

Whereas Blood Robe Emperor General had only followed Empress Changxi later, and in truth did not understand much regarding Ye Xuan.

Moreover, after the Double Emperors betrayed the Undying Night Emperor, they forbade speaking too much of the Undying Night Emperor.

Thus, those who did not understand the Undying Night Emperor came to understand him less and less.

Blood Robe Emperor General suddenly sneered. "So what if I understood? Since I belong to the Empress, then this Ye Xuan is my enemy. Knowing that is enough!"

In his view, even if that Undying Night Emperor was a true Great Emperor, he would still be his enemy.

An enemy.

Is meant to be killed!

As long as one knows one’s stance.

The rest?

Is it necessary to understand?

Yun Shan Emperor General lightly shook his head. "I once glimpsed the tip of the iceberg. It wasn’t about the Undying Night Emperor. It was about the Revenge Lineage."

"You actually know very well how powerful the Revenge Lineage is."

"But I can only say this: what you know of the Revenge Lineage is merely a very small part of it."

"Their true might is something you cannot even begin to imagine."

Yun Shan Emperor General recalled the year he saw that mysterious existence kneeling before Emperor Ye.

That sense of oppression—he had never felt it even from the current Empress or Emperor Mu.

Yet that mysterious existence was kneeling before Emperor Ye, utterly respectful!

After that mysterious existence left, he had plucked up his courage and asked: who was that?

Emperor Ye merely uttered four words: Revenge Lineage!

From then on, he held deep dread toward the Revenge Lineage.

That was also why, despite the enormous hatred between the Double Emperors and the Revenge Lineage, he had never made a move in their many battles.

In truth, he had always pondered.

Why, when Emperor Ye met with calamity back then, did not many from the Revenge Lineage appear?

This was very wrong.

At that time, he had guessed: perhaps the Revenge Lineage itself was not united, and after learning of Emperor Ye’s fall, they scattered internally.

He had always believed this.

But when Emperor Ye came to the Heavenly Domain this time, and he saw the two old men by Emperor Ye’s side, he finally realized how absurdly wrong he had been.

He had underestimated the weight of the four words "Undying Night Emperor."

Within the Revenge Lineage, perhaps there had never been any problem at all.

The reason they had not come to trouble the Double Emperors might simply have been that they were waiting for today.

Just like this time.

Why is it that Nangong Bai, Tan Xiaolu, Zhou Xuanlin—those ringleaders who used to jump the most wildly—have not stepped forward to build momentum for Emperor Ye?

Nor come to anchor the formation for Emperor Ye?

Have they betrayed him?

The answer is, naturally, no.

Yet without betraying him, they still do not come to suppress the field for Emperor Ye.

From beginning to end, it has been Emperor Ye alone.

What does this show?

It shows that Emperor Ye’s authority of speech within the Revenge Lineage remains terrifying.

The execution power of the Revenge Lineage also made him understand.

Perhaps that mysterious existence from back then is still loyal to Emperor Ye.

He was merely waiting for Emperor Ye’s return!

"You disappoint me."

Yet, after hearing Yun Shan Emperor General’s words, Blood Robe Emperor General only shook his head. "As the strongest Emperor General under the Empress, I have always respected you as an elder brother. These words of yours today truly disappoint me."

"Too disappointing!"

Yun Shan Emperor General, hearing this, shook his head. "Hear me out. For the Revenge Lineage to kill us would be like crushing an ant..."

Blood Robe Emperor General’s gaze remained mocking.

Yun Shan Emperor General continued, "To speak somewhat irreverently, in my eyes, it would not be impossible for the Revenge Lineage to annihilate the Double Emperors."

Blood Robe Emperor General sharply turned his gaze toward Yun Shan Emperor General, frowning, his voice heavy. "Just what do you know? Whatever you know, say all of it!"

Yun Shan Emperor General looked at Blood Robe Emperor General, his eyes complicated.

As Blood Robe Emperor General glared at him, Yun Shan Emperor General finally said slowly, "I once saw an existence more terrifying than a Great Emperor, bowing and scraping before Emperor Ye..."

Blood Robe Emperor General’s pupils shrank violently.

An existence more terrifying than a Great Emperor!?

There is actually such a level of existence?

And it would bow and scrape before Emperor Ye?!

How is that possible?!

Would an existence at that level need to curry favor with another?

In that instant, Blood Robe Emperor General’s heart was shaken beyond measure.

For some reason, Blood Robe Emperor General suddenly recalled the question his good brother, Emperor Ling Xiao’s avatar, had asked the Empress.

And the Empress’s answer to Emperor Ling Xiao.

The Empress had once said: "The Emperor Realm—you simply do not understand."

At that time, he had not understood the meaning of that sentence.

But in this moment, he vaguely grasped something.

Blood Robe Emperor General felt his throat go dry. He licked his lips and spoke softly, "Yun Shan, for the sake of all these years between us, could you tell me one answer?"

Yun Shan Emperor General looked at Blood Robe Emperor General and suddenly smiled. "I know what you want to ask, but in truth, I believe you already have the answer in your heart."

Blood Robe Emperor General was silent for a moment, but still asked, "So...what exactly is the relationship between Emperor Ye and the Empress and Emperor Mu?"

Yun Shan Emperor General sighed. "In fact, both the Empress and Emperor Mu are Emperor Ye’s disciples, and the Empress was once Emperor Ye’s Daoist couple. The hatred between them originates from that incident ninety thousand years ago..."

Though Blood Robe Emperor General had long suspected this, now that he received the answer, it still left him incredulous.

So...

The Double Emperors were both taught by Emperor Ye?!
