Yang Lie's words sounded like a fantasy to the Holy Emperor from Changyang Prefecture. Just what kind of method was it to seal one's memories in the ancestral artifact and allow the soul to reincarnate for thousands of lifetimes?
At the very least, in their understanding, there had been countless Holy Emperors who had appeared on the Tian Yuan Continent in the past. There were many Holy Emperors who had injured their souls, but without any exception, none of them had done what Yang Lie had done. Their souls had been reincarnated for thousands of lifetimes and allowed them to regain their memories.
"Changyang Qing Yun, do the five of you know your crimes?" Yang Lie continued to interrogate them. He had recovered all his memories, including everything that had happened in his current life.
"Hmph, Changyang Zu Yunkong, don't think we don't know that you're using a special secret technique to control the Emperor God. You're dreaming if you want to use this opportunity to pretend to be ancestor Yang Lie. Do you think you can fool us with a random story? Do you really think we're three years old? " Changyang Qing Yun bellowed out. Without pausing for even a moment, he immediately turned around and fled. He hurried toward Mercenary City as quickly as he could.
He was already eighty percent convinced of Yang Lie's identity, but he did not dare to admit it because he had made far too many mistakes. The most severe one was sealing Yang Lie's talent, preventing him from becoming a Saint Ruler for the rest of his life. In the end, he had almost died because of this.
"I'd like to see how you escape before me," Yang Lie coldly said. He no longer possessed the gentleness from before. His face had become rather sunken. If Changyang Qing Yun had admitted his mistakes, he might have been lenient. However, not only did Changyang Qing Yun refuse to admit his mistakes, he continued to make mistakes, which angered Yang Lie.
Swish! The Righteous Yang Sword flew out of Yang Lie's hand as a resplendent streak of light. It caught up to Changyang Qing Yun with lightning-like speed and hovered above his head. The sword suddenly expanded, returning to its original size of thirty meters. It then viciously pressed down with a tremendous presence, crushing Changyang Qing Yun to the ground.
Changyang Qing Yun furiously roared at the sky. Powerful energy wildly surged out of his body in an attempt to push away the Righteous Yang Sword. However, the sword was only thirty meters long, but it was heavier than a mountain. Even with Changyang Qing Yun's Holy Emperor strength at Great Perfection, he was unable to push it away.
Boom! Changyang Qing Yun viciously slammed his hands against the ground, producing a deep rumble. He wanted to blast the ground and leave through a tunnel.
A vast and pure energy seeped into the ground from the Righteous Yang Sword, immediately making the ground as tough as steel. Changyang Qing Yun's strike, which could easily split open a mountain, actually failed to shatter the ground.
The eyes of Changyang Qing Jueri, Changyang Qing Yunfeng, Changyang Yuan Zhenghua, and Changyang Yuan Wuji immediately lit up when they saw the Righteous Yang Sword leave Yang Lie's hand. They looked at each other before attacking Yang Lie together.
The four of them did not hold back at all. They used their full strength as soon as they struck out. They all drew their Saint Weapons and swung them at Yang Lie who had lost the Righteous Yang Sword. The four Saint Weapons wove together and formed a huge net around Yang Lie, cutting off all his paths of retreat. They also worked together to lock down space, restricting Yang Lie's movements.
Yang Lie was immobilized by the frozen space, but he did not become flustered at all. His lips curled into a playful smile as a gleam of light flashed through his eyes. Four strands of powerful sword Qi immediately erupted from the Righteous Yang Sword that was suppressing Changyang Qing Yun, shooting toward the four of them.
The sword Qi possessed extremely shocking power. Every single strand was over two meters long and shone with a dazzling light. Wherever they passed by, space would be ripped open, leaving behind four long, black cracks.
Spurt! Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!
The four strands of sword Qi arrived before the four Saint Kings from the Yuan and Qing branches in a single moment. The four of them were unable to dodge the four strands of sword Qi, so they were pierced through from the back to their chests.
The four Holy Emperors who had attacked Yang Lie all vomited blood. They were heavily injured. The four strands of sword Qi had come from the Righteous Yang Sword, so they were far more powerful than regular attacks. Even though they did not strike their vitals, they still inflicted unimaginable injuries, basically immobilizing them.
"You really are getting bolder and bolder. You actually dared to attack me after learning my identity. If it weren't for the fact that you're all direct descendants of the Changyang Prefecture, I would have taken your lives long ago," Yang Lie said with a sunken face.
The Holy Emperors from the Yuan and Qing branches all became fearful. They could already tell that although this junior who called himself the founding ancestor of the Changyang Prefecture had just become a Holy Emperor, his strength was not something they could contend against. Even with the strength of a Holy Emperor at Great Perfection, it was not enough.
This was because the power of the Emperor Armament was just far too great. They believed that this junior could use all the power within the Emperor Armament.
With a wave of his hand, Yang Lie withdrew the Righteous Yang Sword. However, Changyang Qing Yun no longer dared to flee.
"The five of you better go back and properly reflect on your mistakes. Make up for your past mistakes. If it weren't for the fact that the Tian Yuan Continent is facing a crisis right now and is in dire need of people, why would I spare you so easily?" Yang Lie coldly said to the five of them before looking at Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Zu Yunxiao. His gaze could not help but become rather mixed. After a moment of thought, he said, "I will be leaving for a while. You handle the matters of the clan for me. Once I return, I will give you origin energy so that you can become Holy Emperors as much as possible." With that, Yang Lie ripped open a Space Gate and left.
Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Zu Yunxiao stood there silently. They did not say anything. At that moment, their hearts were filled with mixed feelings. They were unable to describe what they were feeling. The return of the founding ancestor of Changyang Prefecture should have been something worth rejoicing over, but the two of them were unable to become happy no matter what.
The five Holy Emperors left dejectedly. They dragged their heavily injured bodies back to Mercenary City. They wanted to use the Class 7 Radiant Saint Masters there to heal them. However, the five of them were not calm at all. The return of the founding ancestor of Changyang Prefecture had greatly shocked them.
Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Zu Yunxiao returned to Changyang Prefecture and told Changyang Zu Yeyun everything. When Changyang Zu Yeyun learned that her child was actually the reincarnation of their founding ancestor, Yang Lie, she immediately became dumbfounded. Her face became extremely mixed as well. It was filled with bitterness.
"I never thought that Changyang Zu Yunkong would actually be the reincarnation of the founding ancestor of Changyang Prefecture. This is truly shocking." Huang Tianba stood on a mountain in the distance and witnessed everything that had just happened. He immediately sighed before continuing his seclusion to make his final breakthrough.
Jianchen and Tie Ta successfully emerged from the Xuanhuang Microcosm in the sea realm. They returned to the underwater world and appeared in the tidal vortex of energy.
The tidal vortex of the world only lasted for half a year. Half a year had almost passed, so the energy of the tidal vortex had become even weaker. It was no longer as dense as before.
"Fantastic, you've finally come out. I had thought that something had happened to you in there." As soon as Jianchen and Tie Ta emerged, they heard Poseidon's joyful voice. They saw Poseidon's illusionary figure hovering before them. He was extremely excited.
"Your majesty Poseidon, Jianchen has succeeded. I've successfully collected all the materials you need." Jianchen clasped his hands at Poseidon with a smile before taking out the two materials for Poseidon to see.
