With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

A month later, the sky above the castle changed color.

The originally yellowish sky was now dyed an eerie purplish-black.

A figure tore through the void and slowly descended.

It was Shen Yi.

His entire body was enveloped in a dense, dark purple demonic aura, and the metal devices had completely integrated into his body. His mechanical left eye gleamed with a scarlet light.

His aura had also reached the peak of the Martial Emperor realm!

"Ye Yaocheng!"

"Today is your death day!"

His voice boomed like thunder, shaking the castle.

Ye Yaocheng stood atop the city wall, his body shimmering with golden light.

In just one month, he not only completely stabilized his Nascent Soul realm, but also broke through to the Martial Emperor realm with the help of the jade pendant!

Although it's only in its early stages, combined with his fused Indestructible Golden Body and Yi Jin Jing, his strength far surpasses that of others of the same level.

"dad."

"Let's attack together; he's very strong. He won't be easy to deal with."

He looked at Ye Feng beside him.

Ye Feng's lips curled up.

"good!"

Two figures rushed out at the same time!

Ye Yaocheng's body burst into golden light, and the twelve beast-shaped phantoms roared in unison!

Ye Feng's body shimmered with azure light, and the long sword in his hand unleashed a ten-thousand-foot-long blade of light!

Father and son working together, their power is overwhelming!

"Well done!"

Shen Yi sneered, and with a wave of his hands, countless dark purple demonic energies transformed into thousands of sharp swords, shooting down from the sky!

"boom!!!"

Three forces collided, and the world lost its color!

The entire battlefield was instantly enveloped by a violent energy storm!

On the city wall, Liu Xuerou clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her flesh without her even noticing.

"We absolutely have to win..."

The battle lasted for a full hour.

Ye Yaocheng and Ye Feng worked together seamlessly, launching a relentless offensive.

But Shen Yi's strength was simply too terrifying.

At the peak of the Martial Emperor realm, he is only one step away from becoming a Martial Emperor.

Furthermore, having absorbed the power of the alien race and a portion of the evil tyrant's essence, he was practically immortal!

"Bang!"

After another exchange of blows, the three retreated.

Ye Yaocheng's mouth was bleeding.

Ye Feng's face turned even paler.

Shen Yi merely sneered.

"Is that all you've got?"

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and a powerful energy sphere coalesced in front of him.

Just when everyone thought his attack was aimed at Ye Yaocheng and his son, he suddenly turned around!

With a wave of his hand, a dark purple beam of light, over ten meters in diameter, shot straight toward the castle!

"not good!"

"Quickly! Activate the formation!"

Minister Ye's expression changed drastically!

Several watchmen simultaneously channeled their inner energy into the grooves on the city wall.

They wanted to stop the attack.

But this time the castle did not react at all.

"How is that possible?!"

Minister Ye's pupils contracted sharply as he immediately realized something.

"Someone has broken the formation!"

The voice just fell.

"BOOM!!!"

The beam of light struck the castle, and the walls collapsed instantly!

Debris flew everywhere!

The formation that sealed the king of the alien race completely failed at this moment!

"roar--!!!"

A deep, guttural roar came from underground.

The earth began to crack, and countless black fissures spread out.

From the crack, towering black gas surged forth!

A gigantic figure slowly rose from the ground!

It's hundreds of feet tall!

Its entire body was covered in jet-black scales, it had two horns on its head, and its eyes burned with eerie green flames!

The King of the Alien Races—Now Reborn!

His aura had also reached the peak of the Martial Emperor realm!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Shen Yi laughed wildly.

"King of the alien races, you have finally awakened!"

"If we join forces, who in this world can stop us?!"

The king of the alien race lowered his head and looked at Shen Yi, his eerie green ghost fire flickering.

"Humans..."

"You've freed me..."

His voice was hoarse and ancient.

"very good."

"In return, I'll let you... die a quick death."

Shen Yi's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Kill them first, then we can talk about this!"

Two peak Martial Emperors simultaneously locked onto Ye Yaocheng and his group.

Despair washed over us like a tidal wave.

"It's over..."

A watchman collapsed to the ground.

Shen Yi alone was enough to fight Ye Yaocheng and his son to a draw.

Now, with the addition of the alien king, how can we possibly fight?

Although Minister Ye and the others were not weak, they were only at the Nascent Soul stage.

They are no match for the peak of the Martial Emperor realm.

"No."

Ye Feng's voice suddenly rang out.

He looked at Ye Yaocheng, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"It's not over yet."

He took a deep breath.

Raise your right hand and wave it towards the castle ruins!

"Buzz—!!!"

A golden light shot into the sky from the ruins!

A bone gleaming with dazzling golden light slowly rose up!

The bone was only the size of a palm, yet it exuded a chilling aura of power!

Even more strangely, with the appearance of this bone, all the Ye family members present felt a resonance within their bodies!

"This is……"

Minister Ye was stunned.

"The supreme bones of all generations of our Ye family?!"

That's right.

This bone embodies the power of all the members of the Ye family who have possessed the Supreme Bone over the past thousand years!

At this moment, it perfectly merged with the Supreme Bone that Ye Yaocheng had originally dug out!

It transformed into a brand new divine bone!

"Yaocheng!"

Ye Feng shouted.

"Merge it!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yaocheng took a step forward and charged ahead!

Reach out and grasp that bone!

"Dream on!"

Shen Yi sneered. He could feel the heart-palpitating power emanating from that bone. He raised his hand and unleashed a dark purple beam of light, attempting to interrupt the other party's fusion.

The king of the alien races also made his move at the same time, his dark claws covering the sky!

"Your opponent is us!"

Minister Ye roared, and all the Watchers charged out at the same time!

Ye Feng, Liu Xuerou, Minister Ye, Ye Zhange...

Everyone, stand in front of Ye Yaocheng!

"For the Ye family!"

"For the sake of posterity!"

"For—hope!"

They fought alongside the two emperors!

Unfortunately, the entire battlefield can only be described as brutal, incredibly brutal.

The power gap is too great.

In a single encounter, two Watchers were seriously injured and coughed up blood.

But they did not retreat, not even a single step.

Because behind them lies the Ye family's last hope!

Ye Yaocheng held the bone and closed his eyes.

He could feel the power contained within his bones.

That is the will of countless ancestors of the Ye family over thousands of years!

That's the resonance of bloodlines!

That is the power of family!

"Merge... my bones."

He murmured softly, his bones slowly merging into his chest.

At this very moment...

"Boom—!!!"

The world is undergoing a dramatic change!

The originally purplish-black sky suddenly cracked open with a golden rift!

Auspicious seven-colored clouds descended from the sky!

An immense and boundless pressure enveloped the entire area!

Everyone, including Shen Yi and the alien king, was frozen in place!

"This is……"

Shen Yi's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Someone's about to become emperor?!"

He turned around abruptly and looked in Ye Yaocheng's direction.

The boy was enveloped in a seven-colored divine light!

The aura was rising at an alarming rate!

Mid-stage Martial Emperor!

The period of Queen Wu!

Peak Martial Emperor!

"No--!!!"

Shen Yi roared wildly.

"We can't let him succeed!"

He exerted all his strength to break free from the oppressive force and rushed towards Ye Yaocheng!

The king of the alien races also made a move at the same time!

Two peak-level emperors join forces for a single strike!

Enough to destroy the heavens and the earth!

However, just when they were still ten feet away from Ye Yaocheng, an invisible barrier appeared out of nowhere!

"Buzz!!!"

Their attacks landed on it, but vanished without a trace, like mud sinking into the sea!

"How is that possible?!"

Shen Yi couldn't believe it.

He bombarded it again, but it still didn't budge!

"Don't bother."

Ye Feng was covered in blood, but he laughed heartily.

"At the moment of becoming emperor, Heaven protected him."

"You think you can interrupt us?"

As soon as the words fell—

"boom!!!"

A seven-colored beam of light shot into the sky from Ye Yaocheng's body!

Soaring straight into the sky!

Piercing through heaven and earth!

Within the pillar of light, Ye Yaocheng slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, the sun, moon, and stars seemed to move.

His aura had even reached the Martial Emperor realm!

The pillar of light dissipated, and Ye Yaocheng stood in the void.

It radiates no light, yet it exudes an oppressive aura that is impossible to look directly at.

That was suppression from a higher level of life.

Under Emperor Wu, all were mere ants.

He looked down at his hands.

With a gentle grasp, space itself shattered!

"Is this... the power of the Martial Emperor?"

He muttered to himself, then looked up at Shen Yi.

With just one glance, Shen Yi trembled violently and almost knelt down!

"No...impossible!"

He roared wildly.

"I'm also at the peak of Martial Emperor! Just one step away!"

"Why can you become an emperor, but I can't?!"

Ye Yaocheng did not answer.

He raised his right hand and gently beckoned towards the castle ruins.

"call out--!!!"

A long sword gleaming with golden light shot out from the ruins!

The sword has a long, slender blade, is entirely golden, and has a piece of blue jade inlaid on its hilt.

The sword blade faintly emitted the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling!

This is the top-grade divine weapon that Ye Yan painstakingly forged over a month.

Now it is officially drawn!

Ye Yaocheng gripped the hilt of the sword, and the blade trembled slightly, emitting a pleasant sword hum.

"A fine sword."

He looked at Shen Yi.

"You just said you wanted to avenge your previous defeat?"

Shen Yi's face turned deathly pale, and he retreated frantically.

"No...you can't kill me..."

"I absorbed the power of the alien king, and the very essence of the evil tyrant..."

"I am unkillable!"

Ye Yaocheng shook his head slightly.

"Can't be killed?"

"Then watch carefully."

He raised his sword.

He waved his hand gently in Shen Yi's direction.

With just a wave of his hand, without any fancy moves or techniques.

There wasn't even any energy fluctuation.

But the moment that sword was swung, the world lost its color!

The sun and moon have lost their light!

An invisible sword aura pierced through space and struck Shen Yi directly!

"ah--!!!"

Shen Yi screamed in agony as his body began to split apart from the middle!

Those metal devices, that fused demonic energy, that absorbed power—all were as fragile as paper before this sword strike!

"No...it's impossible..."

He stared wide-eyed at his dissipating body.

"I am... the chosen one..."

"How could this be...?"

He hadn't finished speaking.

His entire body turned to ashes and vanished completely.

Not even a trace was left.

The Great Emperor realm is terrifying beyond measure.

The king of the alien race was terrified when he saw this, and he turned and fled!

As long as you can escape, you can live, and then you'll have a chance to make a comeback.

Its hundred-foot-tall body transformed into a streak of black light, soaring into the sky!

Unfortunately, he now faces a new generation of Emperor Wu.

"Trying to escape? Do you think you can?"

Ye Yaocheng spoke calmly and swung his sword again.

This time, the sword light transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long golden ribbon, chasing after the alien king!

"No--!!!"

The king of the alien race roared in despair.

"I have dominated the world for a thousand years! How could I possibly die at the hands of a mere youth who has just become an emperor?!"

"I'm not reconciled!!!"

However, the golden sword light showed no mercy and engulfed him.

His hundred-foot-tall body disintegrated instantly.

It transformed into a sky full of black mist, which was then completely purified by the sword light.

The king of the alien races who once dominated the world has vanished.

Heaven and earth returned to peace.

In front of the castle ruins.

Everyone in the Ye family stared blankly at the figure in the void.

That boy, at that moment, was like a god.

"He...became an emperor."

Minister Ye murmured.

"Our Ye family has produced a Martial Emperor!"

Ye Feng was covered in blood, but he smiled like a child.

"My son... is Emperor Wu!"

Liu Xuerou was already in tears, but those were tears of happiness.

Ye Yaocheng fell from the void.

I walked up to my parents.

"Dad, Mom."

"I did it."

He said softly.

Liu Xuerou hugged him tightly.

"Good child...my good child..."

Ye Feng stood to the side, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything.

He simply patted his son's shoulder forcefully.

Ye Yaocheng looked into the distance.

With his current strength, he can naturally suppress all enemies in the world.

But some regrets still need to be addressed.

"The Xuan Yin Sect, where Ji Mingyue belongs..."

"I have to go."

And Wang Shiyu.

The woman who left without saying goodbye is now in the Ice Realm.

I wonder if she is alright.

"There are three more masters..."

A look of longing flashed in Ye Yaocheng's eyes.

"I'll come back to see you after I've finished dealing with these matters."

In the distance, the sun is setting.

It dyed the entire world gold.

Looking at this vast land, Ye Yaocheng felt a surge of pride.

From this day forward, all enemies in the world can be slain with a single sword strike.

From now on, all those regrets, those concerns, and those unfinished things can be done.

"Let's go."

"Let's go home together."

He turned around and looked at his parents.

A few days later, a message spread throughout the Great Xia.

"The Ye family of the Eastern Region has produced a Martial Emperor!"

He is known as—Emperor Ye!

Some say that he killed two peak Martial Emperors with his sword as easily as crushing two ants.

Some say that he fused with the supreme bone of the Ye family, which had existed for a thousand years, to achieve an unparalleled divine body.

Some people say that he is only in his early twenties, yet he has already reached the pinnacle of the world.

From then on, legends of a new generation of emperors spread throughout the world.

At this moment, Ye Tiandi was leading his parents on their way home.

Ahead, a beautiful woman awaits him.

He misses his master, who personally taught him.

There are countless more legends waiting for him to write.

As the sun set, three figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

Behind them, a brand new era begins—

just started.

(End of the book)

Postscript: Ye Yaocheng's story has come to a temporary end, but the legend of Emperor Ye has only just begun.

As for whether he can find Wang Shiyu, resolve the hidden dangers of the Xuan Yin Sect, or reunite with his three masters... these stories may be told to you someday in the future.
