438: Chapter 437: The Great Emperor, Invincible 438: Chapter 437: The Great Emperor, Invincible “My child is not alone.”
“I pay homage to my adoptive father!”
The stern youth clad in a Blood Robe knelt on both knees, and gave Ye Xuan three resounding kowtows.
Ye Xuan silently observed the youth, who was kowtowing with such solemnity, and said nothing.
This youth…
…was none other than the undying figure known as Ye Bugu, the Demon Emperor, an ancestor of the Ye Family.
At the sa ti, Ye Bugu was also an adopted son Ye Xuan had taken under his wing in the days of yore.
The na Ye Bugu was given to him by Ye Xuan himself.
After three resounding kowtows.
“Rise,” Ye Xuan said softly.
“Yes, adoptive father!” The stern youth then stood up, his gaze filled with excitent as he looked at Ye Xuan.
“It has been so many years since we last t…,” Ye Xuan murmured sowhat distractedly.
When Ye Xuan first t Ye Bugu, the latter was but a five-year-old orphaned beggar.
Yet when faced with bullying from others, Ye Bugu never cried.
In him, Ye Xuan saw a kind of resilience.
A resilience that was very much like his own.
Therefore, Ye Xuan took Ye Bugu as his adopted son and nad him so.
Bugu, Bugu, aning ‘not alone.’
It signified not only that Ye Bugu would no longer be alone but also that Ye Xuan himself would not be alone.
At that ti, Ye Xuan had only recently escaped the Tomb Master’s grasp and had just begun to lay his plans.
While implenting his sches, Ye Xuan also continually ntored Ye Bugu, raising him into adulthood.
By the ti Ye Bugu turned eighteen, Ye Xuan had to leave due to urgent matters.
Furthermore, because Ye Xuan did not want Ye Bugu to be affected by his own troubles, after giving many instructions, Ye Xuan departed alone.
In the ensuing years, Ye Xuan always kept a watchful eye on Ye Bugu’s growth from the shadows.
In several monts of dire crisis, Ye Bugu was covertly saved by Ye Xuan.
But father and son never once t face to face.
Ye Bugu naturally knew who his savior was and consistently strove to grow stronger.
Because Ye Bugu was well aware that there were various secrets associated with his adoptive father, Ye Xuan.
But he was too weak to offer any help to his adoptive father, so he kept becoming stronger.
Until later on, when Ye Bugu beca a Demon Emperor who startled All Heavens, he investigated everything and found many traces of Ye Xuan, yet he was never able to et him.
Ye Bugu was unaware that, while he searched, Ye Xuan had fallen into slumber.
By the ti Ye Xuan awoke, Ye Bugu was no longer in the world.
And thus, the Ye Family ca into being.
Because his condition was extrely unstable and it had not been long since he broke free from the Tomb Master, Ye Xuan still harbored a fear of the latter.
Ye Xuan feared that if the Tomb Master beca aware of any connection to the Ye Family, it might spell danger, which is why he refrained from ddling in the Ye Family’s affairs or stepping foot into it.
Only now did Ye Xuan enter the Ye Family in such a capacity.
Finally, father and son t.
Except that Ye Bugu had long since departed from this world.
And the figure Ye Xuan was seeing now was nothing but a lingering spirit left behind by Ye Bugu.
“Adoptive father, was it out of fear of sothing that led you to leave without a word?” Ye Bugu looked at Ye Xuan and voiced the question that had lain heavy on his heart for countless years.
Ye Xuan’s gaze was profound as he looked toward the blood-red sky, speaking slowly, “A terrible force of this world, one that ensures death to anyone ensnared by it…”
Ye Bugu’s expression grew solemn as he said, “Is the Great Emperor invincible?”
“Great Emperor is invincible!” Ye Xuan affird solemnly.
Ye Bugu’s eyes narrowed, and his expression turned even graver.
Although he had always suspected that the enemy Ye Xuan faced was formidable, he had not expected it to be to such a degree.
The Great Emperor is invincible?!
What level of existence was that?!
One should know that those who could beco Great Emperors were not only the most talented but also the most powerful beings in the world.
Yet, even such beings were no match for that mysterious adversary.
What kind of monster was this opponent?!
And how had his adoptive father managed to cope all these years?
“I’m rather familiar with her, so I know how to avoid her blade,” Ye Xuan said with a faint smile.
“Adoptive father’s Physique has changed, and it seems…” Ye Bugu’s expression suddenly turned a bit peculiar.
Ye Xuan shot Ye Bugu a sidelong glance, speaking sowhat irritably, “Frankly, I’m quite surprised too.
My original body turned out to be your descendant, isn’t that funny?”
With an embarrassed smile, Ye Bugu replied, “How could that be, you are my adoptive father.”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, feeling quite moved in his heart.
To tell the truth, ever since he was in the Ye Family of Wan’an City, Ye Xuan had been pondering this very issue.
When he realized this fact, he also found it very strange.
Furthermore, he sensed an even deeper secret.
Back in the day, he was rely a young master of the Ye Family of Wan’an City; thus, by logic, he was indeed a descendant of Ye Bugu.
But in his soul traversing eternity, and going back to before ancient tis, he beca the adoptive father of an ancestor of the Ye Family.
It was as if he had changed history.
But when he returned to his own body and ca to this place, he discovered that everything remained utterly unchanged.
It was as if everything was predetermined.
Was it a reincarnation?
Or perhaps…
Was it a chess ga?
Every ti Ye Xuan thought of this, he felt a chill that was not caused by the cold.
He had a bad feeling.
It was as if he had never escaped the clutches of the Tomb Master.
But if that were the case, the Tomb Master would surely have closed the net by now, and he would not be appearing here.
There were too many mysteries.
Even Ye Xuan, who had experienced eternity, found it difficult to ascertain the truth.
Regardless, he needed to restore his strength as quickly as possible.
Only by restoring his Emperor Soul to its peak could he feel at ease.
The Tomb Master was an important link, and so were Changxi and Mu Yun.
These links always kept Ye Xuan’s nerves tightly strung.
“By the way, adoptive father, have you co to the Ye Family for anything that requires my help?” Ye Bugu looked at Ye Xuan, his eyes filled with hope.
In front of others, Ye Bugu was a bloodthirsty Demon Emperor, cruel and invincible.
But in Ye Xuan’s presence, Ye Bugu was always just a child.
Ye Xuan was the father who had raised him!
“To tell the truth, I am here to settle accounts with the Ye Family,” Ye Xuan said slowly.
“Settle accounts with the Ye Family?
What have they done to wrong you, adoptive father!?” Ye Bugu suddenly erupted with an overwhelming killing intent.
That killing intent shot straight out of this world and into the Ye Family.
In that instant, the entire Ye Family, everyone, prostrated on the ground, unable to move, their hearts filled with utmost terror.
“Has our ancestor truly manifested!?”
In that mont, Ye Qingyun and the others were engulfed in a tumult of shock and awe.
But that killing intent made them feel like there was a sword hanging over their heads, sweating profusely, feeling as though they could be extinguished at any mont!
But the next mont, that killing intent disappeared without a trace.
They hurriedly headed towards the Ye Family ancestral hall.
At this mont, in the world where Ye Xuan and Ye Bugu were.
Ye Xuan stopped Ye Bugu without elaborating on the Ye Family’s affairs but changed the topic saying, “You don’t need to worry about this matter, your residual soul has persisted for so long, it’s ti for it to dissipate.”
“In the future, I will co to find you in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.”
“Adoptive father, you know I’m in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard!?” Ye Bugu was utterly astonished.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “I am your father, after all.
How could I not know where you were buried after death?”
But having said that, Ye Xuan felt a touch of sadness.
He had been trapped in an undying physique, and its only benefit was immortality.
And what was the price of eternal life?
The price was watching one familiar figure after another depart, while he himself continued to exist.
This was undoubtedly a tornt.
It had also enabled Ye Xuan to cultivate an invincible Dao Heart.
In this world, no one could shake his Dao Heart.
He claid to be second to none, and no one dared claim to be first.
“Adoptive father, I really want to follow you…” Ye Bugu’s eyes reddened.
A Demon Emperor nearly shed tears.
Ye Xuan glanced at Ye Bugu and said lightly, “You’re a grown man, and at the very least a Demon Emperor.
Get lost quickly, I have important things to do.”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s impatient words, Ye Bugu awkwardly said, “Then it’s a deal, adoptive father, you must co to find in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard in the future!”
“Another word and I’ll slap you to death,” Ye Xuan said with a wry mouth.
“Alright!” After deeply bowing to Ye Xuan, Ye Bugu did not waste any more words and voluntarily dissipated his residual soul.
The Heavenly Pond Graveyard was an extrely terrifying Forbidden Land of life in this world, where many formidable individuals were buried.
It also ford a world unto itself.
However, those buried there, if they had residual souls, could not beco the Tomb Master, and thus could not rise again.
Ye Bugu was an example of this.
His residual soul’s existence had kept him buried in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard without ever rising again.
This was sothing Ye Xuan was well aware of.
The mont Ye Bugu’s residual soul dissipated, Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul returned to the Ye Family ancestral hall.
And the earth-shattering anomaly vanished.
Ye Bugu’s spirit tablet returned to normal.
Above the tablet, there lingered an almost imperceptible character ‘Ye’…
