Chapter 1096: Chapter 1115: As Long as Ye Xuan Exists, the Heavens Remain
Above the Heavenly Vault, stars filled the sky.
Every step taken by Ye Xuan sent tremors across billions of miles of Heaven and Earth, as hundreds of Starry Sky Giant Beasts furiously pursued him from behind.
In truth, slaying those beasts would be as simple as a wave of his hand, but Ye Xuan refrained from doing so, for he had sensed a dozen or so presences converging on his location.
Ye Xuan’s mind was exceedingly meticulous, and he was one to strategize before acting. As he first arrived in the Chaos Great World, everything was too foreign to him. He intended to use these Starry Sky Giant Beasts to make contact with the living beings of the Chaos Great World, which was his true purpose.
"Kill!"
Ye Xuan battled fiercely atop the Heavenly Vault, his Great Saint aura erupting forth, destroying mountains and rivers with the wave of his hand. Over a hundred Starry Sky Giant Beasts met their doom at his hands.
And this was far from over. Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered; he had already sensed that a dozen or so presences were rushing toward his position, giving rise to some thoughts in his mind.
Rumble!
No longer fleeing, Ye Xuan halted, then launched himself toward the hundreds of Starry Sky Giant Beasts. A bloody rain began to fall as the Starry Sky Giant Beasts roared, and they engaged in a fierce battle with Ye Xuan, their fury aimed at Heaven and Earth.
At the same time.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A dozen beams of light shot through the sky, revealing a dozen different forms of life. When these beings saw Ye Xuan battling the hundreds of Starry Sky Giant Beasts, their faces turned to shock and disbelief.
"A Great Saint? Could it be this person is a Great Saint?"
"Since when has our Southern Dipper Domain gained another Great Saint level figure?"
"Has he gone mad... doesn’t he know the Starry Sky Giant Beasts are undefeatable?"
A dozen Chaos beings let out cries of disbelief, almost unable to trust their eyes as they watched Ye Xuan slaying the Starry Sky Giant Beasts.
Bang!
The world shook, mountains and rivers perished. When Ye Xuan unleashed his Great Saint might, in mere moments, he annihilated hundreds of Starry Sky Giant Beasts. A deluge of blood poured from the heavens, and the corpses of the Starry Sky Giant Beasts fell toward the earth.
These dozen Chaos beings turned pale, trembling under Ye Xuan’s Great Saint mighty power, taking quite a while to regain their senses.
Dismay, reverence, and awe were among the emotions visible in their eyes as they gazed at Ye Xuan, their expressions incredibly complex.
"Ye Moluo from Spirits Heavenly Palace pays respects to Senior." A middle-aged man in black robes bowed deeply to Ye Xuan.
"Lin Miaoxian from Miao Fa Kingdom pays respects to Senior." A young woman smiled sweetly as she made her courtesy.
"Dao Shier from Taichu Sacred Land pays respects to Senior." This was a young man in white robes, exuding a transcendent and refined aura.
"Ming Ye of the Heavenly Demon Hall greets the Senior." Horned and winged, this individual had a sinister and fearsome appearance, clearly of the Demon Race.
...
A dozen Chaos beings, varying widely in form, all paid their respects to Ye Xuan, each displaying extreme reverence. Before them stood a terrifying figure of Great Saint level, and even though they were backed by Great Sect Daoist lineages, they dared not show the slightest disrespect.
"What year is this?"
Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent and impassive, eyes resembling the cosmos, exuding an aura of ancient, timeless years that made one tremble deep in the soul at a mere glance.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s question, these individuals exchanged glances, uncertainty flitting through their eyes. Lin Miaoxian’s eyes flickered, and she quickly stepped forward, bowing deeply as she spoke: "In answer to Senior, today marks the 3,200,000,002nd year of the Tenth Epoch of Chaos. Might I ask from which Sacred Land the Senior hails, and whether you belong to our Southern Dipper Domain?"
"The Tenth Epoch? 3,200,000,002 years?"
Ye Xuan murmured softly, his expression seemingly tranquil, yet tumultuous waves had already surged within his heart. He knew nothing of the Tenth Epoch, and the notion of 3,200,000,002 years was profoundly shocking to him.
"Seas have changed, all things have passed, and to think that upon my awakening, a billion years have already gone by—time truly flies." Ye Xuan sighed with an air of ancientness.
Lies, nothing but colossal lies!
Ye Xuan could do nothing but spin vast fabrications. In a strange land, one must first delude the chaos beings with a daunting facade, as he was too unfamiliar with the Chaos Great World and disclosing his true identity was not an option.
"A billion years? You are from a billion years ago?" Lin Miaoxian’s face transformed, her gaze filled with a mixture of disbelief and uncertainty as she looked at Ye Xuan.
It wasn’t just Lin Miaoxian; everyone else displayed drastic changes in their expressions as well, clearly having difficulty believing Ye Xuan’s words. A Great Saint from a billion years ago—that was virtually unimaginable to them.
Perceiving the ripple of emotions among these Chaos beings, Ye Xuan furrowed his brow, sensing he might have revealed some inconsistency, thus prompting him into silence.
The adage speaks true: the more you say, the more likely you are to err—a principle Ye Xuan understood well.
"Senior, could you be an ancient Great Saint?" Lin Miaoxian tentatively inquired, her gaze carrying a hint of questioning as she regarded Ye Xuan.
It’s known that a billion years ago, the Master of All Spirits attained the Dao, becoming the true sovereign of the Chaos Great World, officially inaugurating the era of Eternal Supreme Dominance.
That legendary battle had shattered the Chaos Starry Sky across endless distances, and numerous peerless figures met their end at the hands of the Master of All Spirits. Could it be that the Ye Xuan before them was indeed some unmatched figure from a billion years ago?
"At the pinnacle of Saint, reigning over the world, with Ye Xuan comes the heavens, with the Soul Extinguishing Spear and Immortal Clothing, he obliterates Saint Kings and Nine Heavens."
Ye Xuan murmured to the skies, his Great Saint aura burst forth, altering Heaven and Earth in that instant; countless Divine Thunders rampaged across the land, casting Ye Xuan in an infinite, majestic light.
"In the swift passage of eternity, through Eternal Reincarnation, at the ends of those distant years, I perished among the Saint Kings, only to awaken now to find you descendants ignorant of my name." Ye Xuan whispered with solitary melancholy, a subtle desolate aura rippling forth, furthering his enigmatic grand presence.
Feigning an air of aged solitude, Ye Xuan spun his monumental deception. With his Great Saint cultivation, he expected these individuals could not discern his true identity.
The tall tales had ascended to the skies, so Ye Xuan decided to magnify them further, though he wasn’t spouting complete fabrication. The Primordial Spirit had offhandedly mentioned a world-shattering battle in the Chaos Great World a billion years ago, where countless unparalleled figures perished. He simply attached this event to himself to address their inquiries.
"At the pinnacle of Saint, reigning over the world, with Ye Xuan comes the heavens?"
"Soul Extinguishing Spear, Immortal Clothing, annihilating Saint Kings, Nine Heavens?"
Lin Miaoxian and a dozen Chaos beings gasped, the weight of those words overwhelming them, with a domineering chaos meaning embedded within, causing their very souls to tremble with utmost intensity.
"Are you... a Saint King?"
Lin Miaoxian trembled as she spoke, her originally rosy face turning pale, gazing excitedly at Ye Xuan, with an indescribable reverence in her eyes.
