Emperor Ye defeats the mummified elder and discovers a source of Origin Power, which he attempts to use to resurrect the Mortal Emperor but fails. He then begins to implant a unique Soul Seal into the elder, unaware that the Mortal Emperor's corpse has come to life and is planning to take over Emperor Ye's body.

The Mortal Emperor’s corpse opened its eyes, revealing a pair of ghastly white orbs, chilling and terrifying, daring none to meet its gaze.

At this moment, its eyes were fixated on Ye Xuan’s back.

The Mortal Emperor’s corpse was clearly being manipulated by the previous mummy old man.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was crafting a unique Soul Seal within the mummy old man’s Sea of Consciousness, seemingly oblivious to the anomaly behind him.

The Mortal Emperor’s corpse kept its gaze locked on Ye Xuan’s back but did not rush to take action.

He needed to devise a foolproof plan.

The previous encounter had taught him that facing this guy head-on offered no chance of victory.

This guy bore a very bizarre power, seemingly able to suppress everything.

Even his own power was ruthlessly suppressed in its presence.

This was precisely why he had been suppressed and severely beaten.

If not for utilizing an escaping divine skill at the last moment, he would undoubtedly be in grave danger now.

Yet even so, his situation was currently perilous.

As for fleeing?

This person reaching this place meant that even if he escaped outside, he would likely be caught.

The most crucial point is, without the support of Origin Power, he would be like a rootless duckweed, adrift with the wind, soon to perish.

At that time, he would truly be beyond help.

However, to kill this person with a single strike was simply impossible.

"Huh..."

At this point, the Mortal Emperor’s corpse uttered a sound of surprise.

He realized that the eyes of this body could see something different.

"What is that?"

At that moment, the Mortal Emperor’s corpse discovered that Ye Xuan was enshrouded by an eerie black aura.

Within the sinister black aura, there was a power resembling Origin Power intertwining.

That power was extremely similar to Origin Power.

Under the shroud of these two powers, Ye Xuan appeared particularly mysterious.

Immediately following this,

the Mortal Emperor’s corpse noticed formidable energies surging to the sky behind him.

He then saw a terrifying Emperor’s Shadow overlooking All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Around the Emperor’s Shadow, True Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and other Divine Beasts bowed their heads.

Millions of Immortals and Buddhas lowered their heads.

And a myriad of ghosts marched in the night.

The various manifestations presented left the Mortal Emperor’s corpse extremely shocked.

"What on earth is the origin of this guy?"

At this moment,

a storm rose within the Mortal Emperor’s corpse’s heart.

This oppressive sensation gave him the illusion of facing the King of Dou Tian.

"Could he be a reincarnated individual from the Ancient Immortal Realm who participated in that war?"

He speculated inwardly.

Back then, though the Ancient Immortal Realm was overwhelmed by Dou Tian Divine Domain, there still existed some figures within that caused even people of Dou Tian Divine Domain to despair.

Like the unparalleled Hong Yao Immortal Emperor clad in white.

He withstood the Heavenly Sea and even shattered the passage leading to Dou Tian Divine Domain’s side.

This was the most crucial point of that battle.

Otherwise, if more Kings of Dou Tian arrived at the Ancient Immortal Realm, the current situation wouldn’t exist.

"Can’t kill..."

The more the Mortal Emperor’s corpse watched, the more alarmed he became, knowing he couldn’t kill Ye Xuan.

Yet leaving just like that was not an option for him.

After all, the source of Origin Power was here, and leaving this place would prevent him from restoring to the peak, and when that battle arrived again, he would be unable to take the initiative.

While the mummy old man was contemplating how to handle the situation, he discovered Ye Xuan’s Emperor’s Shadow slowly turning to look at him.

At that moment,

the mummy old man’s heart jumped, a bad premonition arising within him.

Boom!

Before he could react, the Emperor’s Shadow exploded with an overwhelming oppressive force, imposing it upon him.

In that instant, the mummy old man felt utterly immobile.

That power seemed invincible in the world.

The mummy old man found his control over the Mortal Emperor’s corpse reduced to nothing.

His soul felt imprisoned within.

"Damn it!"

The mummy old man knew that Ye Xuan had undoubtedly noticed.

This left the mummy old man more and more dismayed: why did this guy react so quickly?

Though many thoughts crossed his mind, in reality, it was merely a moment, but Ye Xuan’s concentration seemed entirely focused on the Sea of Consciousness within his own being. How could he react so swiftly?

The mummy old man was utterly perplexed.

The mummy old man was unaware of the extent Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul had reached.

Multitasking was trivial.

In fact, Ye Xuan had also left a hint of caution.

As the Undying Night Emperor, who plotted across the ages, he never feared anyone in terms of scheming.

Moreover, he didn’t believe his earlier attack could entirely incapacitate the mummy old man.

To some extent, this mummy old man even seemed intentional in his actions.

Therefore, when Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul entered the mummy old man’s Sea of Consciousness, he kept a mental note.

When the Mortal Emperor’s corpse stirred, he instantly grasped this guy’s scheme.

The intention was to launch a sneak attack through the Mortal Emperor’s corpse.

However, it seemed this guy, after borrowing the Mortal Emperor’s corpse, saw some things he couldn’t usually see.

Thus, he didn’t act immediately.

To this, Ye Xuan was unsurprised.

Even with the mummy old man launching through the Mortal Emperor’s corpse, it changed nothing.

After all, Ye Xuan was enveloped by Immortal Profound Power and Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Power.

These two powers ensured Ye Xuan stood undefeated against enemy ambushes.

The opponent could not breach the defense forged by these two powers.

These two powers were among the most extreme and unique in existence!

Besides Ye Xuan, no one possessed these two powers.

This was the source of Ye Xuan’s confidence.

"Are you disappointed?"

Ye Xuan stood up and turned to face the Mortal Emperor’s corpse, speaking lightly.

But upon seeing the expression on the Mortal Emperor’s corpse’s face, his gaze turned cold, and he raised his hand to strike.

Boom!

Immense power fell onto the Mortal Emperor’s corpse, conjuring an illusory figure.

It was the soul of the mummy old man.

The mummy old man’s soul suddenly flew out from behind the Mortal Emperor’s corpse.

His face still bore a look of astonishment.

Ye Xuan coldly said, "After killing my disciple and trying to usurp his body, you dare?"

Without the mummy old man’s manipulation, the Mortal Emperor’s corpse instantly collapsed powerlessly.

But Ye Xuan immediately supported it with an ethereal hand, setting it aside.

The mummy old man’s soul hovered there, watching Ye Xuan with a shifting expression, and spoke in a deep voice, "Must you be so ruthless?"

Ye Xuan silently laughed.

The mummy old man coldly said, "You can never win that battle; the best outcome is for all of you to submit, possibly leaving you a chance of survival."

"Otherwise, only certain death awaits!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s smile grew wider: "Have you forgotten your current situation?"

As a captive, yet so brazen.

Laughable.
