Chapter 30 The Emperor's Might Shocks the World, My Heart Awaits Your Return Through the Ages
"Cough cough~"
Ye Chen himself walked out of the thatched hut.
He had noticed earlier that a huge change had taken place here.
I was just a little late coming out because I was so engrossed in my cultivation that I couldn't interrupt it for the time being.
"Fellow Daoist Yan wants me to use my chaotic body temperature to nourish the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart and help her cultivate."
"With the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, she can advance to the Quasi-Emperor level at the fastest speed."
Ye Chen's figure swayed.
His true form actively merged with his spiritual body, his palm still holding the Empress's slightly cold hand.
At this moment, he is the real Ye Chen, the Ye Chen of over two hundred thousand years ago.
Although their physical constitutions are different, the imprint of their souls is exactly the same.
......
The spiritual energy within the Kunlun Secret Realm lingered like a thin mist.
The four ancient patriarchs—Lao Tzu, Shakyamuni, the Yellow Emperor, and Shennong—have not yet fully recovered from the shocking fact that "the Ruthless Great Emperor is Ye Chen's sister."
At the same time, another ripple appeared in the air.
"Buzz—"
As the ripples spread, a graceful figure emerged from the void.
Her hair was as black as a waterfall, her eyes were like autumn water, and her figure was graceful. She was none other than Yan Ruyu, the princess of the demon clan.
Behind her followed Pang Bo, who looked somewhat reserved, and Qin Yao.
Yan Ruyu lightly touched the ground with her toes, and the illusory image of the Chaotic Green Lotus appeared and disappeared behind her, making her appear even more holy and otherworldly.
Her gaze immediately fell on Ye Chen, filled with concern and a hint of barely perceptible expectation.
Especially when she saw Ye Chen and the woman in white he was holding hands with, that expectation turned into deep-seated vigilance and scrutiny.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I sensed a violent fluctuation here just now. Are you alright?"
Yan Ruyu moved with light, graceful steps, her voice clear and crisp like the clinking of jade stones.
She walked up to Ye Chen and naturally stood on his other side, forming a delicate triangle with the Empress.
However, before Yan Ruyu could finish speaking, she felt an invisible yet heavy pressure, as heavy as an ancient divine mountain, silently enveloping her.
This oppressive aura was not a deliberate attack, but rather an unconscious field emanating from a supreme being.
"Buzz—"
Yan Ruyu felt her soul tremble, as if the demon emperor's bloodline within her body had frozen.
Even the Chaos Lotus in the Sea of Bitterness trembled slightly, conveying an almost instinctive sense of awe and submission.
The Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon in her hand lost its emerald light, showing signs of spontaneously dormant.
That was an absolute crushing force originating from the level of life and the status of the Great Dao.
Yan Ruyu's pretty face instantly drained of color. She stubbornly refused to back down, her beautiful eyes staring incredulously at the white-clad woman beside Ye Chen.
The woman's face was shrouded in a faint, chaotic aura, making it difficult to see clearly.
But that indifference and aloofness that transcends eternity and looks down upon all living beings is more impactful than any clear facial features.
The empress didn't even turn her head to look at her.
She merely turned her head slightly, facing Ye Chen beside her, and spoke in a voice so clear and cold it seemed to freeze time, a statement that was both utterly calm and earth-shattering:
"Back in ancient times, the uncles and aunts at the village entrance all said that I was a child bride that my brother had picked up."
Her tone was completely flat.
It was as if they were recounting an ancient story that had nothing to do with them.
"I waited for over two hundred thousand years, wandering through the mortal world, fighting my way to the end of the immortal path and bowing down in the forbidden zone, before finally waiting for your return."
She finally slowly turned her eyes.
His gaze fell on Yan Ruyu.
In that instant, heaven and earth seemed to freeze, the spiritual energy of the Kunlun Secret Realm stopped flowing, and even the four Quasi-Emperor Ancestors felt their breath catch in their throats.
"It's not for today, to see others standing beside you."
"boom--!"
The moment the Empress finished speaking.
The even more vast imperial might was like a mountain torrent bursting its banks, yet it precisely poured down upon Yan Ruyu alone.
There was no murderous intent, no hostility, only the supreme oppression brought about by the purest and most primal existence itself.
Yan Ruyu was struck dumb.
She let out a muffled groan, her delicate body trembled violently, and she involuntarily staggered back a step.
The surrounding air turned into pure gold, so heavy that she found it difficult to even lift her hand.
The Chaos Green Lotus within the Sea of Bitterness let out a mournful tremor, its azure light completely receding, no longer daring to make the slightest movement.
Her proud identity as a demon princess and her lineage as a descendant of the Azure Emperor seemed as insignificant as dust at this moment.
This is a silent declaration, and an undeniable crushing defeat.
She is the Ruthless Great Emperor.
She waited for her brother for over 200,000 years.
The position she has chosen is one that no one can covet or replace.
At that moment, the arena fell into a deathly silence.
Pang Bo's mouth dropped open.
His eyes darted back and forth between his older brother's terrifying younger sister and the pale-faced demon princess, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
Qin Yao lowered her head even further, not daring to even breathe loudly.
The four patriarchs looked at each other, their expressions incredibly varied.
They finally understood why Ye Chen always managed to escape danger and encounter extraordinary opportunities.
With this supreme empress protecting them, they can do whatever they want in the Big Dipper Star Region.
At the same time, they were also worried for Yan Ruyu.
Ye Chen felt a barely perceptible tension from the Empress's fingertips in his palm and sighed inwardly.
Ye Chen felt a barely perceptible tension from the Empress's fingertips in his palm and sighed inwardly.
He gripped that slightly cool hand tightly!
With his other hand, he gently patted Yan Ruyu's trembling shoulder, sending a gentle stream of chaotic energy to help her calm down.
"My sister, she carries the legacy of the Azure Emperor. In the future, she will compete on the path to becoming an emperor and may even reach the top."
Ye Chen looked at the Empress, his gaze gentle yet firm, carrying a reassuring meaning.
"Your Highness, this is my younger sister, Ye Nan."
"She has a somewhat aloof personality, but she meant no harm."
Ye Chen looked at Yan Ruyu, whose face was pale but whose back was stubbornly straight, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
"It's...it's alright!"
Yan Ruyu took a deep breath.
She forced down her fear and humiliation, her voice hoarse.
She glanced at Ye Chen with complicated emotions, then quickly looked away, her gaze landing on the Empress's blurry yet infinitely majestic figure.
At that moment, she truly understood what it meant to be "as different as heaven and earth".
The other party didn't even need to lift a finger; with just a thought or a glance, she, the demon princess, felt what true powerlessness was.
She finally understood why Ye Chen was so calm in front of the Demon Emperor's tomb, why the Devouring Demon Jar would revive on its own, and why the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron would defect to the enemy.
All because behind him stood such an unparalleled being.
All talk of the struggle for the imperial path and the bloodline of the demon emperor pales in comparison to the formidable reputation the opponent has forged.
The phrase "child bride" was like a thunderclap.
It shattered some of the budding feelings that might have just begun to sprout in her heart.
Upon hearing this, the Empress did not say anything more, but the terrifying imperial aura surrounding her, which was directed at Yan Ruyu, slowly receded like a tide.
But that invisible barrier and assertion of sovereignty have been deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
She stood quietly beside Ye Chen, with a slight flow of chaotic energy.
Though he no longer speaks, his words carry more weight than any other.
—Her presence is the rule!
"Grand Ancestor, during my absence, did Ye Fan manage to bring Mom and Dad over?"
"And what about Xu Qiong's matter? How is he handling it?"
Ye Chen awkwardly changed the subject, breaking the slightly tense atmosphere.
"Ye Fan has returned to the human realm and is probably dealing with family matters."
"As for Miss Xu Qiong, they have their own destiny. We'll see when Ye Fan returns."
Lao Tzu stroked his beard.
He glanced at the Empress, whose aura remained icy, and forced himself to change the subject.
This kid made a mess of his own making, and now he, as the patriarch, has to clean up his mess...
