Ever since the Sinkhole's Heavenly Dao was lost, Old Snake had suffered greatly. Although he still looked frivolous when he saw Yi Yun, Yi Yun could tell at a glance that Old Snake's physical condition had worsened.
Back when the array was first set up, Old Snake had expended a lot of his Godly Monarch Origins Dao. In addition to the hundred years of toil, Old Snake had aged even more.
His back became more and more stooped. Although there was a cynical smile on his face, the wrinkles on his smile also became deeper.
"Teacher, it's been hard on you all these years."
Yi Yun sighed from the bottom of his heart. In the Sinkhole of despair, he had relied on a group of seniors to carry the burden and hold up the sky for the younger generation.
Although the spines of these seniors were bent by the pressure of time and could no longer bear the burden, to the extent that the sky they held up was too small, it was enough.
They had done everything they could.
"Kid, what did you call me again?" At that moment, Old Snake widened his beady eyes as he looked at Yi Yun with a look of surprise. His impression of Yi Yun was that of a crafty fellow who did not get up early without benefits. It was already pretty good that he did not call him 'Old Hooligan.' What the hell did he mean by 'Teacher'?
"Ahem. Kid, it's best you act normal. I'm not used to you suddenly doing this."
Yi Yun laughed when he saw Old Snake in such a state. Even in this world of despair, Old Snake remained true to himself.
He was once a Godly Monarch, a figure that stood at the pinnacle of the Sinkhole. Despite falling to the mortal realm, his soul was damaged, but he was still able to roam the mortal realm and live an exciting life. From time to time, he would search for spirit herbs to extend his lifespan.
Such an attitude towards life was indeed not something everyone could have.
"Old Man, this is what the Sinkhole owes you, as well as what I owe you."
Yi Yun gently raised his hand as specks of starlight gathered in his right palm. At that moment, Yi Yun's palm seemed to connect the world, affecting the Sinkhole that spanned billions of trillions of kilometers.
More and more starlight gathered. The experts present were astonished. What gathered in Yi Yun's hand were Heavenly Dao laws.
At that moment, a ball of light floated out of Yi Yun's palm. It seemed to contain an infinite galaxy. It was the Dao that Yi Yun had extracted from the Ancestor God's body after killing him.
During the Ancestor God's long lifespan, he devoured countless Heavenly Daos and cultivated his own Ancestor God Dao.
A portion of it was left in the Chaos Heavens, returning to the land in the form of an Ancestor God's corpse.
And the other portion was taken away by Yi Yun.
After defeating the Ancestor God, Yi Yun was enlightened. The Heavenly Dao had its own home in Samsara. Back when the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch left this Multiverse, he did not take the three Universe seeds with him. It was time for him to restore the Heavenly Dao to its original state.
In fact, the Heavenly Dao that the Ancestor God devoured had been comprehended by Yi Yun one grade at a time. He had mastered everything and returned everything to its original owner.
Only by doing so would he be able to walk further down the martial path. Only then would he be able to truly rely on his own strength. If not, he would walk down the same path as the Ancestor God, forever unable to reach the true pinnacle of the martial path.
"Old Man, this Ascending Dragon Cauldron is also yours. I'll return it to you now."
As Yi Yun spoke, a tiny black cauldron flew out of his body. It spun in Yi Yun's palm.
The Ascending Dragon Cauldron was the intrinsic artifact of the Dragon King, one of the eight ancient Godly Monarchs. However, as Old Snake had a large portion of his soul shattered, he could not even remember the Dragon Emperor Technique. Back when Old Snake was weak, he knew that it would only be a disgrace to the Ascending Dragon Cauldron if it returned to his hands. Therefore, he passed it to Yi Yun.
But now, with Yi Yun's realm, he no longer needed the Ascending Dragon Cauldron. He naturally returned it to Old Snake. The Ascending Dragon Cauldron still contained the Dragon Emperor's blood. It was very beneficial to Old Snake's recovery of his vital forces.
"Punk, what are you …"
Old Snake was taken aback. Before he could say a word, Yi Yun had already injected the Heavenly Dao nomological fragment in the Ancestor God's body, together with the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, into Old Snake's dantian.
Old Snake's body jolted as his aged body emitted a dazzling nomological divine beam.
Immediately following that, an incredulous scene happened. Under the divine beam's envelopment, Old Snake's body began to gradually transform. His white hair turned black as his wrinkles vanished. His facial features seemed more detached from his body as his eyes turned deeper and brighter.
His body also began to grow taller as his back straightened. His muscles bulged as they became more voluptuous.
He had regained his youth!
This transformation was not only physical, but it was also a change in life's natural order. People could clearly sense that Old Snake's lifeblood powers were like a burning cauldron, exuberant and intense.
"This … This is …"
Old Snake looked at his body in shock, his eyes filled with horror.
And immediately following that, Yi Yun flicked his finger as a tiny black cube appeared on his fingertip. It was none other than the Magic Cube left behind by the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch.
The Magic Cube was the Seed of God of essence, Qi, and Soul. It condensed the nomological powers of the soul.
As the Magic Cube spun, boundless soul light gathered over to repair Old Snake's damaged soul.
In just a few moments, Old Snake's lost memories slowly returned.
But at that moment, Old Snake was surprisingly calm. Ever since the ancient war, he had become accustomed to his identity as Old Snake. He had roamed the world for hundreds of millions of years and had already let go of everything from the past.
Old Snake had once said that the Dragon King of the past was like a previous life to him. Although he had regained his memories, he still felt the same way.
Snakes and dragons were of the same form. When a snake transcended a Heavenly Tribulation, it could transform into a dragon.
Even though Old Snake had regained the strength of the Dragon King of yesteryear, Old Snake was ultimately still Old Snake.
At that moment, everyone present, be they the experts of the Sinkhole or the young elites, sensed an extremely powerful vital aura from Old Snake. This vital aura was several times stronger than Demonic Marshall Shilong's!
This is …
People found it unbelievable. An old man who looked like he was nearing his end had been casually transformed into such an expert.
He had returned from old age to his prime. Furthermore, his looks …
Many people found Old Snake's appearance very familiar.
"Doesn't he look identical to the sculpture in front of the square?"
Everyone was astounded. The sculpture at the entrance of the Mirage Sea Realm not only had the eight Godly Monarchs' appearances, but it also had their charms.
Their looks could be coincidentally similar, but there was no mistaking their charms. Furthermore, the vital aura that Old Snake was releasing was something only an ancient Godly Monarch could achieve.
One of the eight ancient Godly Monarchs, the Dragon King, was this elder in front of them!?
He had his vital aura obliterated in the ancient war, resulting in his severe injuries?
It was already shocking that Old Snake was one of the eight ancient Godly Monarchs, but what was even more shocking was that Yi Yun had managed to restore a Godly Monarch whose vital aura had been obliterated to its original state with a raise of his hand!
Anyone with some common sense in the Martial Dao knew how difficult it was!
