Chapter 1259: The Complete Xuan-Yuan Sword
Half a month later, Ye Zichen arrived at the River Styx. As soon as he set foot in the river, he sensed two auras lock onto him.
The probing auras were fleeting, but Ye Zichen discovered that the defenses were even tighter than before.
Countless sharkmen and yao wielded weapons as they swam through the waters.
The River Styx was on high alert, as if it were the eve of a great war. Ye Zichen couldn't help but worry about humanity's future.
The demons watched hungrily from afar, and the yao could cross the River Styx at any moment.
If the River Styx collapsed, the armies of the Yao and Demon Realms would be able to march straight in. Trapped between the two realms, the human race would be under attack from both sides.
Another thing that caught Ye Zichen's attention was that he hadn't sensed any of the domineering auras he'd sensed before.
"Master, Ye Zichen's here."
Su Yiyun entered Emperor Hades' secondary palace and bowed.
Before long, Emperor Hades and Great Emperor Xue Yang walked out, shoulder to shoulder. When he saw Ye Zichen, Xue Yang clearly glared at him.
"....."
Ye Zichen sighed helplessly, then bowed to the two emperors.
"Emperor Hades, Great Emperor Xue Yang."
Great Emperor Xue Yang didn't even look up, but Emperor Hades smiled warmly and pointed at a chair.
"Sit."
"There's no need for that. I'm here to retrieve the Xuan-Yuan Sword, then return to the Divine Mountains with Guangfa. Besides, it seems you don't particularly welcome me here. "
He glanced at Xue Yang, who knew Ye Zichen was referring to him. He narrowed his eyes and glanced back ….
Instantly, Ye Zichen felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his sea of consciousness. His face paled.
His entire body was sweating profusely.
"Xue Yang, you've gone too far," said Emperor Hades in a low voice.
"This kind of junior, it's because you've spoiled him too much that he doesn't understand etiquette. This Emperor is merely teaching him what he should say and what he shouldn't say when facing seniors in the future, and that he should know his place."
Xue Yang's expression was icy, his gaze somewhat unfriendly. Ye Zichen could still feel the stabbing pain in his sea of consciousness, but at that moment, he looked up, his eyes filled with unwillingness to admit defeat. He gnashed his teeth and bent down.
"Thank you for your teachings, Senior."
Xue Yang's expression was as cold as ever. Emperor Hades couldn't help but shake his head, then tossed out a bottle of pills.
"Eat this. The sea of wisdom is the foundation of us cultivators. Leaving it damaged will not do you any good."
That was why Emperor Hades was so angry at Xue Yang. Emperor Hades didn't have a problem with Xue Yang; he could suppress Xue Yang with his aura. Emperor Hades wouldn't say anything even if Xue Yang hit him.
But just now, Xue Yang had touched Ye Zichen's sea of consciousness. That was a cultivator's weakest and most important part.
Ye Zichen was only a sky supreme, but Xue Yang was a ruler.
The slightest mistake could destroy Ye Zichen's sea of consciousness and turn him into a cripple.
Ye Zichen understood the importance of the sea of consciousness. Without hesitation, he poured the pill into his hand and swallowed it.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, its medicinal strength transformed into strands that flowed into his sea of consciousness, repairing all the damage.
"Thank you, Senior Emperor Hades, for the medicine."
"It's no problem." Emperor Hades nodded, then said, "I'm sure you know why I called you here. I wanted to give you the Xuan-Yuan Sword."
With that, a bewitching woman walked out from the back of the hall.
She wore a light blue dress, and her figure was tall and lithe. Her skin was as white as snow, and she wore a silver necklace around her neck. She had a high nose bridge, and her eyes were pitch-black, like black gemstones.
Between her willowy eyebrows was the brand of a sword. This brand revealed her identity …..
She was the sword spirit.
She gripped a longsword in her right hand. It was seventy long and twelve wide. Two dragons coiled around the hilt, and they seemed to be roaring.
The Xuan-Yuan Sword.
This was the Xuan-Yuan Sword, after its seal was completely broken. The person holding it was, shockingly, Xuan-Yuan Xiang.
When she appeared, Emperor Hades's eyes flashed with faint nostalgia, and a warm smile tugged at his lips. When Xue Yang saw her, he froze despite himself. He instinctively glanced at Emperor Hades.
"Big Sister Xiang."
When he saw Xuan-Yuan Xiang, Ye Zichen's eyes lit up with delight.
Xuan-Yuan Xiang ran up to him, but because she was wearing a dress, she couldn't take too big of a stride.
After just a few steps, she frowned. Ye Zichen ran up to her.
"Big Sister Xiang, why are you wearing a dress?"
As far as Ye Zichen could remember, Xuan-Yuan Xiang had practically never worn a dress before. But to be honest, she looked quite feminine when she wore it.
"Do you think I want to wear it?" Xuan-Yuan Xiang rolled her eyes at Ming Di. "That's him. He insisted on making me wear this. It's so uncomfortable."
Golden light shimmered around her, and she transformed into a warrior's outfit similar to the one she'd worn before.
"It's still more comfortable like this."
When Emperor Hades saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. When Ye Zichen heard this, his expression turned somewhat odd.
Emperor Hades made Xuan-Yuan Xiang wear it like this? He …. No way!
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Ye Zichen couldn't help but sigh in amazement. The number one emperor of all time, Emperor Hades, who had intimidated the entire Yao Realm with the River Styx. Could it be that he'd really taken a fancy to the Xuan-Yuan Sword's artifact spirit?
Ye Zichen gasped inwardly, arched his brows, smiled, and handed the sword to Ye Zichen.
"Give it a try."
Ye Zichen wanted to see just how strong the Xuan-Yuan Sword was.
He accepted the sword. As soon as it touched his hands, he sensed a bloodline connection with the sword. It was a piece of cake for him.
Furthermore, as he gripped the hilt, he could faintly hear the roar of an azure dragon in his ears.
The surging power flowed through the Xuan-Yuan Sword into his arm. This kind of surging power made him feel uncomfortable.
Boom!
He swung the sword viciously at the ground.
"So this is the complete Xuan-Yuan Sword."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but sigh in amazement at the release of his power. When he turned to Emperor Hades to express his gratitude ….
His face was as green as steel.
At that moment, he saw that he'd practically cleaved the entire palace in two. There was even a ten-thousand-meter-deep ditch in the ground.
Ye Zichen swore he hadn't done it on purpose.
"Senior Emperor Hades."
Emperor Hades scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. He stared at him for a few seconds, his chest heaving as if trying to calm his fury.
After a while, he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"It's fine!"
He said this through gritted teeth. Although the palace was nothing more than an ordinary precious artifact, one that'd only just reached the divine artifact level and wasn't particularly precious, it'd been with him for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Thank you, Senior Emperor Hades, for your magnanimity." Ye Zichen grinned. "Then, Senior Emperor Hades, are you going to find Chen Guangfa in the River Styx, then we'll just leave?"
"Of course, but before that …."
Emperor Hades glanced at Xue Yang, who rose to his feet.
