Chapter 2357: Chapter 2358: Ancestors Emerge!
The Heavenly Palace, as the most powerful force in the whole ancestral land, and even the entire universe, was nearly completely destroyed in less than a single day. Were it not for the Celestial Emperor, it might have already become history’s dust.
The events of that day truly shook the entire ancestral land.
Who could have thought that someone like Ye Qiu would turn the Heavenly Palace into what it is now.
People had no choice but to reassess Ye Qiu’s power.
Although the transformation of the Heavenly Palace owes partly to the Black Fiend Cult, overall, it is mainly due to Ye Qiu.
The eighteen sons were killed, eighteen branches of the Heavenly Palace were destroyed, and the previous Celestial Emperor was killed—all these happened in the same day, all related to Ye Qiu.
Even the Taiyi Divine Sect did not dare to underestimate Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu has grown from an insignificant weakling to a contemporary powerhouse, leaving the younger generation far behind, becoming a titan-like figure.
The entire ancestral land was especially quiet, and on the night of this event, all major sects that had issued a wanted notice for Ye Qiu withdrew it.
Although only a few were aware of this move, it was surprising enough. People realized that the major sects had begun to fear Ye Qiu’s power, not wanting to be targeted and attacked by him, lest they end up like the Heavenly Palace.
Of course, some believe that Ye Qiu’s actions undoubtedly provoked Di Shi Tian to the extreme. He and the Heavenly Palace can only exist with one surviving, and sooner or later, they would have a deadly showdown.
Though Ye Qiu is extremely talented, Di Shi Tian, eager for revenge, would not give Ye Qiu the space to grow and would surely do everything possible to find and eliminate him.
Various opinions spread throughout the ancestral land.
On this very day, Taishan arrived at Eastern Desolation, only to discover that he was late and no one knew Ye Qiu’s whereabouts.
"The Lord is now enemies with the Heavenly Palace; his position is probably quite precarious."
"However, only our Lord can bring the Heavenly Palace to its current state."
Taishan was somewhat disappointed not seeing Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu’s deeds reached his ears one by one. Hearing all the grand things Ye Qiu had done, Taishan, deep down, naturally felt more admiration and respect for him.
The Ancient Beast Clan respects the strong, and besides, Taishan owes much of his current status to Ye Qiu, hence his gratitude toward Ye Qiu is even deeper.
Taishan left, returning to Southern Desolation, knowing that sooner or later, he would see Ye Qiu again.
How could someone who had thrown the Heavenly Palace into chaos be killed so easily?
Currently, the Heavenly Palace is somewhat broken, with all the survivors gathered at the headquarters.
Other sects or major forces dare not approach; even if only the Celestial Emperor was left, the Heavenly Palace remained the Heavenly Palace, and no one dared to offend.
Entities like Ye Qiu and the Black Fiend Cult are ultimately rare.
The Celestial Emperor maintained a gloomy face, having his cultivation interrupted, failing to progress to a higher realm, and he didn’t know how long it would take to regain that feeling.
Additionally, with Ye Qiu destroying his branches and killing his imperial sons, the Celestial Emperor has long hated Ye Qiu to the bone.
Now, Ye Qiu has become a mental burden for the Celestial Emperor. Without removing this mental burden, he cannot reach a higher realm.
"Leader."
"Leader."
Kneeling before the Celestial Emperor was a row of black-clad individuals. If outsiders saw their attire, they would recognize them as shadow assassins.
These shadow assassins called the Celestial Emperor "Leader," which was self-explanatory—the Celestial Emperor was the supreme leader of the Shadows. If this news were to spread, it would shock the ancestral land.
Who would have thought that the notorious Shadows were a creation of the Celestial Emperor?
"Deploy everyone, find Ye Fentian and everyone related to him." The Celestial Emperor ordered.
Upon receiving the order, the row of black-clad individuals quickly left the great hall, starting the search for Ye Qiu’s traces.
"Major sects, aren’t your guts a bit too small? Just a remnant, and you withdrew the wanted notice. Are you afraid of being ambushed by him?" The Celestial Emperor had long known all kinds of news throughout the ancestral land at the first moment, internally disdaining each major sect greatly.
The attitudes of the major sects displeased the Celestial Emperor; withdrawing the wanted notice clearly showed fear.
But the Celestial Emperor, how could he overlook Ye Qiu?
He and Ye Qiu would ultimately have one survivor.
"Were it not for the Star River Lord, how would I have let him leave alive? Damn Star River Lord, meddling in my affairs while not staying in your cosmic abyss—I will certainly make you regret it." The Celestial Emperor suddenly stood up.
He walked to the depths of the Heavenly Palace’s great hall and suddenly knelt, muttering words.
A peculiar language flowed from Di Shi Tian’s mouth, echoing throughout the great hall.
This language resembled an incantation but was different, unique, continuously spreading, reaching every corner of the great hall.
In the deepest part of the Heavenly Palace, white airflow pervaded, as if it was an ethereal realm.
Suddenly, this silent ethereal realm emitted creaking sounds, as though something rubbed and moved.
Boom.
Amidst the white mist stood multiple stone coffins, which opened automatically with Di Shi Tian’s incantation.
Figures emerged from within.
"Who awakens us?"
"It is I, ancestors!"
Facing these pale-faced elders, Di Shi Tian kept kowtowing, not daring to lift his head—this was his Heavenly Palace’s last resort and the strongest.
Only in crucial times could the Celestial Emperor initiate it.
"You awoke us, is the Heavenly Palace facing a life-and-death crisis?"
"Honored ancestors, a monstrous person emerged from the Dugu lineage. This person was taken as an apprentice by the Star River Lord. Your descendant wishes to kill this person; the Star River Lord intervenes. I hope the honored ancestors can directly intervene to kill the Star River Lord."
"The Star River Lord?"
"So it’s about this matter. We’ll take care of this person then, as for the descendant of the Dugu lineage, can you handle it?"
Di Shi Tian nodded repeatedly, assuring, "As long as the honored ancestors can stop the Star River Lord, none of those from the Dugu lineage will escape my grasp."
"Very well, hopefully, you won’t disappoint us."
Moments later, Di Shi Tian finally raised his head, only to find the figures gone. He knew they went to the Star River Road, and once the Star River Lord was intercepted, Ye Qiu would be unable to escape his grasp.
"Remnant scum, for you, I have awoken the ancestors. This is my disgrace. Without killing you, I cannot face the ancestors. Now that the honored ancestors have taken action, let’s see who can still save you."
The Celestial Emperor displayed a cold smile, awaiting good news from the ancestors.
Once the Star River Lord is dead, nothing will stop him from killing Ye Qiu.
In the cosmic abyss within the Star River Road.
A massive figure lay within. It slowly opened its eyes, gazing upward.
