The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2600 - 2589: The Secret of the Past

Intense gaze.

His eyes were fixed on the palm of the Eternal Emperor’s hand.

Even though the Eternal Emperor had now become a mere dry corpse, one could still discern on his right palm, a very strange pattern that emitted a pleasing luster.

Ye Chenfeng placed the corpse of the Eternal Emperor on the ground and involuntarily reached out his hand to touch the strange pattern.

At the moment his fingers touched the pattern, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er did not speculate so much, nor did they see the writings carved on the inner wall of the coffin; their gaze was mostly focused on Ye Chenfeng.

As soon as Ye Chenfeng’s hand touched the strange pattern, a burst of light erupted from within it, quickly rushing into his body, causing Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er to become nervous.

After the light entered Ye Chenfeng’s body, it swiftly flowed into his mind, evolving into a series of images.

These images were connected into a story, likely the memories of the Eternal Emperor during his lifetime.

Ye Chenfeng glanced at Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er and said, "I’m fine, you two don’t need to worry about me."

With that said.

He became immersed in the memories of the Eternal Emperor’s life, knowing that perhaps through these memories, he could unravel all the mysteries.

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er sighed with relief, and they also began to carefully examine this ancient palace, discovering the writings on the inner wall of the coffin.

Their expressions began to fluctuate, as daughters of the air from the Middle Realm, they naturally started to slowly speculate on some things.

The two of them walked around the palace, carefully observing the various arrangements within it.

The walls of this palace were carved with various patterns, most of which were indistinguishable.

"Lan Ruo sister, come look at this pattern, these eyes are so terrifying," Fang Duo’er softly said.

Only to see a ghostly face carved on the right-side wall.

On this ghostly face, the most terrifying were its eyes.

These eyes were carved in an extremely frightening and eerie manner, as if they could devour one’s soul.

From within these eyes emanated a strange magic, compelling their gaze to focus on these eyes.

They only felt their minds becoming increasingly drowsy, yet their gaze couldn’t shift away from these eyes, as if caught by these terrifying eyes.

Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng, not far away, was completely immersed in the memories of the Eternal Emperor’s life, unaware of the changes occurring with Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er.

Among the images appearing in his mind, there was a man dressed in a white robe, repeatedly defeating countless opponents, with each battle being earth-shattering and even world-destroying.

Ye Chenfeng knew this white-robed man was likely the Eternal Emperor.

In the memories that filled his mind, every place the Eternal Emperor appeared, an old man with sinister eyes would accompany him.

Based on the memories surging into his brain, he knew this old man was named Skyhawk, the Eternal Emperor’s servant, and the only servant the Eternal Emperor had during his life.

At first, no one knew the name of the servant following the Eternal Emperor. However, his cultivation was exceedingly powerful, with a tattoo of a griffin on the back of his right hand, eventually earning him the nickname Skyhawk.

Skyhawk was a servant subdued by the Eternal Emperor, his strength only slightly weaker than that of the Eternal Emperor at that time.

The memories clearly detailed the relationship between the Eternal Emperor and Skyhawk.

Back then, after defeating Skyhawk, the Eternal Emperor originally intended to kill him. However, Skyhawk pleaded for mercy, willing to be his servant. After much beggary, the Eternal Emperor planted a restriction in Skyhawk’s Sea of Consciousness, allowing Skyhawk to remain by his side, and from then on, Skyhawk became the faithful servant of the Eternal Emperor.

Time passed.

No one knows how many thousands of years went by.

Skyhawk remained loyal to the Eternal Emperor, never showing any dissatisfaction, even once risking his own life to ensure the Eternal Emperor could escape when he faced a life-threatening situation.

The truth of human nature is revealed over time.

After spending many years together, the Eternal Emperor no longer treated Skyhawk as a mere servant. He withdrew the restriction planted in Skyhawk’s Sea of Consciousness.

After removing the restriction.

Skyhawk did not change at all, remaining completely loyal to the Eternal Emperor.

Until the calamity of the Chaos Era arrived, the Eternal Emperor began preparing to face the disaster. He devised a plan that might allow him to survive, and this plan was unintentionally discovered by Skyhawk.

From that day onward.

Skyhawk also began plotting his own plan. He personally destroyed everything the Eternal Emperor had arranged and ousted him, taking all of the Eternal Emperor’s painstaking efforts and plans.

During the arrival of the Chaos Era’s calamity.

The cultivation of all strong practitioners in the Chaos Era was severely restricted. Originally, the Eternal Emperor intended to preserve a trace of breath for eventual resurrection.

But everything went beyond his expectations. When Skyhawk discovered the impending calamity of the Chaos Era, he voluntarily told the Eternal Emperor that he wanted to leave.

However, the Eternal Emperor’s method could only allow himself to survive. He had feelings toward his loyal servant, Skyhawk, and agreed to Skyhawk’s decision.

Unexpectedly.

Once the Eternal Emperor had arranged everything and entered the prepared coffin, attempting to put himself into hibernation.

Skyhawk, aware of all the plans, returned and sealed the Eternal Emperor’s coffin, broke the surrounding formations, trapping the Eternal Emperor to die inside the coffin.

Meanwhile, he utilized everything the Eternal Emperor had arranged here, crafting an identical coffin, and secretly preparing numerous arrangements, usurping everything here, replacing the Eternal Emperor.

Trapped inside the coffin, at the moment of his death, the Eternal Emperor was filled with endless unwillingness and anger, finally realizing how naive he had been, understanding there was no room for emotions in the Cultivation World.

Skyhawk was exceptionally patient.

Sensing the memories rushing into his mind, Ye Chenfeng sighed repeatedly. The illustrious unparalleled powerhouse of the Chaos Era, the Eternal Emperor was ultimately schemed against by his own servant, truly unpredictable.

The Eternal Emperor could have survived till now, but instead, his servant lived in his place.

The perils of the Cultivation World are evident.
