Ye Xuan recounts the tragic past of the Mortal Emperor, Heitian Guanfan, and his own journey. After Heitian Guanfan's death, Ye Xuan retrieves his body. As Ye Xuan attempts to leave, a powerful black hand emerges from the palace gate to stop him, but Ye Xuan repels it. He then relentlessly attacks the gate until it shatters, entering the dark palace.

At the moment of entering the divine palace, Ye Xuan seemed to feel a familiar power.

Origin Power!

Again, Origin Power.

Moreover, extremely rich.

Just as Ye Xuan entered the divine palace, the vast Origin Power seemed to have no end, continuously surging forward.

Fortunately, within Ye Xuan’s body, there was a massive amount of Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Power, constantly absorbing and assimilating this Origin Power.

Then transferring the excess power to the Myriad Forms Body.

"This place..."

Ye Xuan stood in the endless darkness, and a sudden enlightenment flashed in his heart.

This was the ultimate goal Xiao Qian guided him to!

Instead, the Mortal Emperor’s corpse might not be the main focus.

Or perhaps when Xiao Qian discovered this place, there wasn’t yet the Mortal Emperor’s corpse.

Thus, Ye Xuan misunderstood.

Ye Xuan carried the Mortal Emperor’s corpse and walked forward.

The surrounding Origin Power was continuously being devoured and refined by Ye Xuan.

At this moment.

Ye Xuan’s cultivation finally showed signs of loosening.

Slowly stepping into the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Rumble————

Accompanied by Ye Xuan’s breakthrough from Nine Transitions Great Saint to Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Endless anomalies continually appeared.

The entire Black Nether Corpse Land seemed to manifest a reincarnation.

In addition, terrifying anomalies like the collapse of the Heavenly Dao and the fall of the Dao presented.

Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin bowed their heads, billions of immortals and Buddhas lowered their gaze.

It seemed at this moment.

Ye Xuan became the sole sovereign of the heavens and earth.

Not only that.

Behind Ye Xuan, the Emperor’s Shadow quickly solidified at this moment.

Around that Emperor’s Shadow, there was an endless eerie black gas swirling.

Silently proclaiming to All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

The once Undying Night Emperor.

Has returned!

Even though he just recently stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, the invincible aura of the Great Emperor has never faded from Ye Xuan.

Now he simply gradually reclaims it.

The peak sought by the world’s cultivators was merely a scenery along Ye Xuan’s path.

Not very conspicuous.

He has already witnessed greater heights.

Now he is merely walking through again.

Calm and unperturbed.

The Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique slowly operated, and the Power Of Devouring became increasingly terrifying.

In an instant, all the Origin Power within the divine palace seemed to surge toward him.

It took just a moment.

The Origin Power within the divine palace completely vanished.

All was devoured by Ye Xuan.

The divine palace suddenly felt extraordinarily empty.

The darkness vanished as well.

Ye Xuan saw a ’person’.

An existence akin to a mummy.

He had only one eye.

It was a vertical eye.

Located on the brow.

At this moment, the eye was tightly closed.

The armor on his body was extremely shattered, as if a breeze would disperse it.

He sat motionlessly there.

Just a glance showed that this mummy had endured eons.

Ye Xuan gazed at the mummy, his eyes slightly narrowing.

Within the divine palace.

A deathly silence.

Time seemed suspended at this moment.

And just then.

The mummy slowly opened that lone eye.

It was a crystalline, dazzling eye, not really like an eye, but like a gemstone!

At this moment.

That eye fixated on Ye Xuan.

"Finally, someone reached this place..."

An exceptionally hoarse, aged voice slowly sounded.

Yet, this mummy-like old man did not speak.

But it was clearly him speaking.

Ye Xuan calmly looked at the lone-eyed elder and softly said, "From the Dou Tian Divine Domain?"

The mummy-like elder turned his gem-like eye and spoke again, "Precisely."

"You reaching this place means my Dou Tian Divine Domain has reappeared in this realm, seizing Origin Power."

"What clan do you belong to? I couldn’t tell."

He closely stared at Ye Xuan, seemingly self-talking, "Could it be the Dou Tian Divine Domain has birthed a new race?"

"Indeed, my domain is rich in talents, and every so often, a new powerful clan emerges, perhaps yours is among them."

"However..."

"Why are you carrying that boy’s corpse?"

The lone-eyed elder glanced at the Mortal Emperor’s corpse on Ye Xuan’s back and lightly remarked.

Listening to the lone-eyed elder’s words, Ye Xuan realized this guy mistook him for a junior from the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

Ye Xuan remained composed, calmly answering, "This man’s corpse contains a rather remarkable power, which can be utilized when I return."

Upon hearing this, the lone-eyed elder immediately chuckled, "That boy’s power was indeed commendable, but only while alive. Earlier he descended here, and I slayed him."

Ye Xuan’s gaze narrowed, "You killed him?"

The lone-eyed elder, sensing Ye Xuan’s skepticism, chuckled lightly, "Naturally, he had good power, if not for having some restored power myself, I might’ve been overturned by him, but he was still too tender."

"Oh, you haven’t said what clan you’re from?"

The lone-eyed elder inquired.

Perhaps having not spoken for a long time, the elder’s words seemed somewhat verbose.

Ye Xuan looked at the lone-eyed elder, a glint of coldness in his gaze, "What clan? Naturally, the Human Clan."

The lone-eyed elder sensed Ye Xuan’s shift in emotions, but unfazed, she replied leisurely, "Human Clan? Even such a weak race has now stood up."

This comment.

Momentarily left Ye Xuan stunned.

Dou Tian Divine Domain...

Also has Human Clan?

This was somewhat surprising to him.

He couldn’t help but think of those ’people’ seen in the Desolate Realm.

Perhaps the Dou Tian Divine Domain wasn’t as fearsome as imagined.

Besides...

"You misunderstood, I am not from the Dou Tian Divine Domain’s Human Clan."

Ye Xuan slowly clarified.

Upon these words, the lone-eyed elder was momentarily stunned, then his expression turned grim, "You have arrived as well?"

"You... Who are you?"

Ye Xuan casually responded.

The lone-eyed elder immediately fell silent, but a chilly killing intent surfaced in the lone eye.

Ye Xuan seeing him unresponsive, chose not to press further.

Such matters, can’t necessarily be explained.

"He was my disciple."

Ye Xuan casually remarked.

The lone-eyed elder glanced at the Mortal Emperor’s corpse behind Ye Xuan and suddenly grinned, "So that’s what it is."

Ye Xuan also smiled, "So do you think you’ll die today or not?"

The lone-eyed elder’s grin widened, "In our Dou Tian Divine Domain, there’s someone known as the Lord of Death, he’s a friend of mine."

"Oh?"

Ye Xuan’s smile became teasing, "I am unfamiliar with this Lord of Death, but I recall previously suppressing someone named Nine Netherworld Phoenix, and another called Yang Demon."

The smile on the lone-eyed elder’s face instantly halted, his gem-like lone eye tightly fixed on Ye Xuan, remaining silent.

Ye Xuan didn’t rush to make a move, but slowly set down the Mortal Emperor’s corpse, placing it beside a large pillar and stabilizing it, softly saying:

"Xiao Fan, I know closing your eyes doesn’t affect your sight."

"Just watch your teacher avenge you."

After speaking, Ye Xuan gently patted the Mortal Emperor’s corpse’s head.

Then.

Ye Xuan turned to face the mummy-like elder.

At this moment, Ye Xuan emitted a terrifying aura, like an abyss.

Immortal Profound Power coiled.

Ye Xuan, now a Quasi-Emperor, made his first move.

Facing the man from Dou Tian Divine Domain.
