Chapter 2963: Forgotten?

Puff!

Dark blood-colored light suddenly flashed, incredibly dazzling. It was the E Mo Da Di; one moment he was sneering malevolently, the next he was directly obliterated by Ye Chen’s punch. His imperial body exploded, and his primordial spirit shattered.

“This.”

All the supreme beings in the sky were shocked, staring in disbelief at that patch of void. That was a great emperor! A flawless great emperor without any suppression, a true supreme being, yet he was destroyed with a single punch.

When they looked at Ye Chen, they all recoiled in fear, for they had seen that face before—it was the Xian Wu Emperor from back then, a terrifying figure who had slain countless emperors and even fought to the death with a Mo Tian Emperor.

That face was a nightmare to them, haunting them for over ten thousand years, impossible to shake off. Even now, seeing it made their souls tremble uncontrollably.

“Ye Chen.”

Di Huang steadied himself with a wobble, staring blankly at that figure bathed in golden light. It was Ye Chen.

Compared to him, Xing Tian was far more agitated, letting out low, muffled roars. This was because his head was stored in Ye Chen’s small world, and his body and head shared a subtle connection.

As for Hong Yan, her lips parted slightly in astonishment as she gazed at him. From this angle, half of Ye Chen's face was incredibly clear, identical to the image etched in her memory, giving her an unreal feeling, as if she were dreaming.

“How about it, don’t you recognize me?”

Ye Chen turned his head and smiled warmly, his origin essence surging within him and forcefully entering Hong Yan’s body. He was erasing the killing intent for her, healing her wounds, and nourishing her depleted dantian sea.

Hong Yan cried, her eyes brimming with tears. Hearing those tender words, she knew it wasn’t a dream. His origin essence was still so warm and gentle, making her feel like she was basking in sunlight amid the cold winter.

Ye Chen smiled but didn’t wait for Hong Yan to speak. He drew her into the Chaos Cauldron, then cracked his neck fiercely. His world-destroying killing intent made the heavens and earth freeze inch by inch.

Compared to flirting, he was more eager to wipe out this bunch of scum.

All the supreme beings in the sky retreated in unison, eyeing Ye Chen warily. As fellow supremes, they had high imperial insight and could tell he was a sacred body—a sacred body that had achieved the dao and become an emperor, and at the mid-level at that. He had the qualification and the power to destroy an emperor with one punch.

“No wonder he could glimpse the imperial dao gate.”

Di Huang smiled wearily, his eyes filled with relief, but even more shock and awe. It had only been about a thousand years! This junior from their sacred body lineage had surpassed the great achievement stage and defied the heavens to become an emperor, breaking the eternal taboo that sacred bodies couldn’t prove the dao and creating an immortal legend.

That kid named Ye Chen had not only surpassed him but utterly crushed his predecessors. Destroying a great emperor with one punch was sheer dominance! It was a good thing he didn’t know Ye Chen’s full battle record, or he might have been stunned to the point of collapsing.

“They touched her, so no path to heaven, no door to earth.”

Ye Chen said flatly, his words as desolate as a divine judgment.

As soon as he finished, he vanished in an instant.

Puff!

Immediately, a blood flower bloomed proudly in the void, as a Tian Mo Emperor was obliterated by his palm. Whatever imperial dao body or imperial dao primordial spirit—it all turned to ash in an instant.

“Retreat!”

E Mo Emperor howled shrilly, truly terrified after two emperors were slain in succession.

No need for him to say it; all the supreme beings in the sky were already fleeing, their eyes etched with fear and their imperial bodies trembling from their souls. That imperial dao sacred body was too terrifying—one punch and one palm had wiped out two great emperors. Below the heaven emperor, who could stand against him? Who would dare?

The scene in the heavens was somewhat ironic.

Over a hundred foreign region supremes, including peak-level ones, who weren't without the power to fight, were all escaping, fleeing through the sky. From top to bottom, not a single one dared to confront Ye Chen.

“You think you can escape?”

Ye Chen snorted coldly, bending his bow and nocking an arrow, forming it with imperial dao essence and the power of reincarnation. He fused it with forbidden forces and imperial dao divine power, drawing the bow like a full moon and releasing a devastating arrow.

Puff!

A fleeing E Mo Emperor was pierced through by the arrow, his imperial body disintegrating inch by inch, and his illusory primordial spirit collapsing in the reincarnation cycle. No matter how he wailed, he couldn’t escape his soul scattering.

Zing! Zing! Zing!

The scenes that followed were quite satisfying to watch. One emperor after another, who were usually so arrogant, now seemed as weak as ants. Once hit by the reincarnation arrow, they were all destroyed on the spot.

Ah!

The foreign region supremes’ wails were shrill, truly having no path to heaven and no door to earth once targeted by this god of slaughter.

Ye Chen was even more dominant than imagined, his archery skills spot-on, picking them off one by one. Except for the great achievement Sheng Mo, the rest were all picked off individually, like hunting prey, effortlessly.

Gulp!

Even Di Huang, with his supreme mindset, couldn’t help but swallow secretly. He knew Ye Chen was formidable but didn’t realize he was this formidable. Those great emperors were like mere underlings in front of Ye Chen, and even the peak supremes were no exception, being shot down forcefully.

As another sacred body, his own great achievement sacred body felt like child’s play in comparison—all he could do was look up in admiration.

“Is he really Ye Chen?”

In the Chaos Cauldron, Hong Yan’s lips parted slightly again. She had never seen a sacred body that had proven the dao before, and now she truly witnessed it. Her Ye Chen was even stronger than she had imagined. She should feel fortunate, fortunate to be on Ye Chen’s side in this life.

Once more, she showed the demeanor of a delicate woman, something she had only revealed to Ye Chen throughout the endless ages. That boy from back then was now a supreme, the supreme among supremes.

Her gaze became somewhat dreamy, lost in admiration. Her beloved was a peerless war god.

“Run, where do you think you’re running?”

Outside, Ye Chen was still on a killing spree. Over a hundred foreign region supremes had already been slaughtered by more than half, and he had captured over a dozen great achievement Sheng Mo. He couldn’t kill the Sheng Mo; he would devour them later.

Ah!

The foreign region supremes’ wails were still so shrill.

Ye Chen was dominant, but among the foreign region supremes, there were some outstanding ones—their “outstanding” referred to their speed, incredibly swift. They were cowards in battle but masters at fleeing.

Unfortunately, they were destined not to escape.

It wasn’t just Ye Chen who had come; the Gu Tian Ting Nü Di had arrived too. A crystalline jade hand suddenly manifested, gently sweeping across the void with world-extinguishing power. Over a dozen Tian Mo Emperors fleeing in that direction were wiped out in a single palm, including three peak emperors. They didn’t even get to scream.

Gulp!

Di Huang swallowed again, his mouth twitching involuntarily. He had thought only Ye Chen had come, but unexpectedly, there was someone even more terrifying. Ye Chen was taking them out one by one, while she was clearing them in groups. Those great emperors had become like mere ants.

In that moment, Di Huang felt dizzy.

What had happened? In the thousand-plus years since they left, what exactly occurred in the heavens? Not only had a sacred body proven the dao and become an emperor, but there was also someone even stronger than Ye Chen.

“You’ve finally awakened.”

Hong Yan pursed her lips, her expression complex. She recognized the Gu Tian Ting Nü Di—the most astonishing female emperor throughout history, whose brilliance no one could overshadow.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

With the female emperor joining the battle, even more blood flowers bloomed.

It wasn’t until some time later that the screams faded, leaving blood mist rolling through the heavens, all from great emperors, drifting and turning to ash.

Thus, every foreign region supreme in this ancient road, without exception, was exterminated—except for the great achievement Sheng Mo. The entire world fell silent.

Those foreign region supremes must have felt melancholic. They had been here for endless ages and seen all kinds of scenes, yet they ended up being completely wiped out.

Well, at least they could keep each other company on the road to the Yellow Springs.

Di Huang stood there, still not snapping out of it for a long time. The foreign region supremes who had been hunting them every few days had been completely annihilated, and even he, who witnessed it firsthand, found it surreal.

After the shock, he couldn’t help but sigh. People really are incomparable—while they had fled for over a thousand years, others handled it so effortlessly. It seemed like they hadn’t even had their fill of killing. Not to boast, but if another wave came, the two of them could still fight and make the foreign regions cry.

“If we had known, we should have waited for them to come together.”

Di Huang murmured, taking a deep breath. Instead, they had come early by over a thousand years—how awkward was that?

Meanwhile, Ye Chen had put away his bow and arrow and released Hong Yan.

Before Ye Chen could speak, Hong Yan threw herself into his arms, just like when she left the heavens back then. She hugged him with all her strength, her crystalline tears soaking his chest. It had been over a thousand years since she last saw Ye Chen, and the suppressed emotions exploded in an instant.

“I said, just a little gesture is enough.”

Ye Chen spoke through gritted teeth. As a sacred body that had proven the dao, his imperial body was nearly indestructible, yet Hong Yan’s hug still made his bones crackle, and his waist felt like it was about to break.

“Don’t speak.”

Hong Yan choked up, hugging him even tighter, afraid that a momentary distraction would turn it into an illusory dream. Only by holding him like this and listening to that steady heartbeat could she know that the Ye Chen before her was real, flesh and blood. This peerless female sacred body, a great achievement realm expert, had no trace of a supreme’s demeanor at that moment—she was just a fragile woman.

“If you have something to say, say it properly.”

Ye Chen spoke up, repeating the same words. Back at the entrance of the ancient road, Hong Yan had done the same, nearly hugging him to pieces. Now, it wasn’t much better.

“I think putting out a bed would be more fitting.”

In the Chaos Cauldron, Xie Yun said meaningfully. Not all the divine generals were sealed; this guy still had some lifespan left, and with that one sentence, he spat out a life philosophy.

“What kind of bloodline would two sacred bodies produce?”

Si Tu Nan stroked his chin, having thought about this for over a thousand years. It was probably golden, like a gold ingot.

“What bloodline it is, I don’t know, but the commotion when those two get intimate will surely shake the heavens and move the ghosts and gods.”

Xiao Ling Wa rubbed his chin.

No one awake refuted that—it was a truth. One male sacred body and one female sacred body; even a casual move could destroy the world, so the commotion wouldn’t be small.

Do not look at impropriety.

Di Huang turned away self-consciously, gazing at the misty void.

As for Xing Tian, he held his battle axe and stood not far away, still as volatile as ever, without any words. But his actions clearly conveyed a message: Could they finish hugging and get my head out first?

You’re quite the talent.

The Gu Tian Ting Nü Di didn’t speak, but the way she looked at Ye Emperor was full of satisfaction. How proud was a female sacred body? Even when she personally invited her back then, there was no result, yet here she was, so compliant with you.

People are like that—one thing can subdue another.
