Chapter 1794 - 1777: Two New Emperors
In the simple Xiao Family Village, a sudden silence descended, as Xiao Yang and Luo Meilan seemed struck by lightning.
Immediately, their aged faces turned bright red, originally decrepit and hunched bodies now seemingly infused with endless power, making them stand up in a rush, scanning the surroundings with anxious eyes.
"Ye’er!"
"Is it Ye’er? Brother Yang, am I dreaming?"
Luo Meilan’s voice trembled, her face full of disbelief.
"No, I heard it too, it was indeed Ye’er’s voice." Xiao Yang’s eyes also glistened with tears, as he searched along with Luo Meilan.
Xiao Ye, their eldest son, was their greatest pride in this life.
They had just heard Xiao Ye’s voice!
All of this...
Is it a dream?
Swish!
Luo Meilan excitedly dashed out, as if madly searching the small mountain village, but due to her excessive excitement, she lost balance and staggered, falling towards the ground.
And at this moment, a pair of strong and warm hands suddenly supported her.
"Mother, it’s not a dream, I am Ye’er, I have returned."
That familiar voice echoed in her ear, Luo Meilan looked up blankly to see a young man in a golden robe gazing at her with reddened eyes.
"Ye... Ye’er, is it really you!"
Luo Meilan tightly grabbed the young man in front of her, fearing it was a dream, but the real sensation reminded her that all of this was true.
No matter his current standing, the young man before her is still her son.
Since Xiao Ye left the True Spirit Continent with the Human Race Four Emperors, she had been worried day and night!
"Ye’er!"
Xiao Yang came over, so excited that he started coughing violently again.
He was already old and infirm, his lifespan nearing its end, and intense joy or sorrow would further deplete his remaining years.
"Father, Mother!"
Xiao Ye looked at his white-haired parents, tears in his eyes, his soul trembling with shock.
Are these still the parents in his memory? They have grown so old, with all vitality drained from their bodies.
Especially Xiao Yang, he might only survive a few more days, and Luo Meilan isn’t doing much better.
Years ago, he calculated his parents would have twenty more years of lifespan, and now only eighteen have passed; why is their life nearing its end?
Thankfully, he returned in time.
If he had been just one step later...
Xiao Ye dared not imagine.
"It’s alright, birth, aging, sickness, and death are the principles of Heaven and Earth, to see you again before passing is enough, I have no regrets." Seeing Xiao Ye’s expression, Xiao Yang waved his hand, unconcerned and calm.
"Father, Mother, I have returned for this reason, you will live a second life, and even be emperors." Xiao Ye smiled gently, his words leaving the two elders stunned.
Only now did they realize, it seemed Xiao Ye indeed mentioned before that he would make them emperors.
...
Outside Green Sun Town, countless unparalleled figures from the True Spirit Continent stood with their hands behind their backs, regardless of their seniority, all their expressions solemn.
Over the years, the True Spirit Continent’s Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi had surged, cultivating martial arts blossomed, countless geniuses emerged, and numerous half-emperors appeared once again.
But no matter how many geniuses appeared, a shadow always stood above them, overlooking all beings.
Emperor Xiao—Xiao Ye!
A genius considered the most terrifying in the history of the True Spirit Continent, who became a Crownless Emperor revered by the Human Race Four Emperors while still in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, completely unparalleled, a legend in his own time.
The Wuji Sect he founded also became the undeniable hegemon of the True Spirit Continent!
Even though Emperor Xiao and the Human Race Four Emperors broke through into the void, the Wuji Sect remained as splendid as ever, its members like dragons.
Xiao Ye’s younger brother Xiao Fan succeeded as Sect Leader, now a half-emperor strong figure, his power unfathomable.
Xiao Ye’s son Xiao Nian, young in age yet surpassed Xiao Fan, creating a glorious record, although in the Half-Emperor Realm, he possessed the Emperor’s Technique, not inferior in battles against Quasi-Emperors.
Xiao Ye’s direct disciple Lin Wen was also formidable, unmatched in swordsmanship, possessing the Emperor’s Technique, although not yet an emperor, his name as Sword Emperor spread across the True Spirit Continent.
Even the previously unremarkable Long Chen, Xiao Teng, and Shi Daniu within the Wuji Sect soared into prominence suddenly, their brilliance despairing.
Thus, although there were many half-emperors, at this moment, none dared to make a noise, suppressing all their Qi respectfully.
"Father!"
"Mother!"
"It’s Fan’er who’s useless, despite traveling across the True Spirit Continent finding countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, I couldn’t extend your lifespans!"
Xiao Fan, in a golden robe, stood atop a small hill, gazing distantly towards Xiao Family Village, his hand clenched, his fierce eyes tearful.
After eighteen years of leading the Wuji Sect, he embodied the dignity of one in a superior position, but at this moment, he discarded all identity and honor, wishing only to accompany his parents through their final days.
Regrettably, Luo Meilan and Xiao Yang wished to depart quietly without disturbance, so they came to Xiao Family Village, and they could only stand outside, gazing from afar.
"Grandfather, Grandmother, since father left the True Spirit Continent, allow me and mother to stand in his place to see you off." A young man whose brow slightly resembled Xiao Ye spoke, his eyes full of sorrow.
Beside him stood a plain-dressed beauty, time’s power left no mark on her, but rather further enhanced her captivating appeal, as if she were a maiden.
All Wuji Sect strong figures had arrived, standing behind Xiao Fan, faces solemn.
"Alas, time is almost up, if I am not mistaken, Emperor Xiao’s father has now passed away..." An elder looked up at the lingering sunset, murmuring softly.
But at this moment—
Boom!
The tranquil Xiao Family Village suddenly shook, two auras soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds and rapidly spread, enveloping the entire True Spirit Continent.
Instantly, the continent’s weather changed, countless anomalies descended, astonishing all martial artists across the continent.
Yulan Domain.
"What is happening?"
"Someone is becoming emperors, and not just one, but two!"
"With Emperor Duanmu becoming emperor not long ago, these two seniors can still ascend, it’s too defiant, they must be unparalleled figures hidden from the world in our True Spirit Continent!"
"Now we have two new emperors, it seems the True Spirit Continent is about to undergo a transformation."
...
Strands of Emperor’s Power surged out from Xiao Family Village, making eminent figures across the True Spirit Continent tremble, almost unable to resist kneeling.
The power of the Great Emperor, even Quasi-Emperors can’t resist, let alone this time there are two new emperors.
What perplexed them, however, was why these two new emperors’ auras exploded from Xiao Family Village?
"Actually breaking into the Emperor Realm within our Xiao Family Village!"
Xiao Fan’s eyes flashed with anger, yet he dared not act recklessly.
After all, they are two Great Emperors, though strong, confronting them would still be somewhat difficult.
"Let’s go, follow me to pay respects to the new emperors." Xiao Fan suppressed his rage, waved his hand, releasing cultivation to resist the Emperor’s Power, and slowly approached Xiao Family Village.
At that moment, other half-emperors couldn’t help but follow, others had to stay behind as they couldn’t step forward against the terrifying Emperor’s Power.
Xiao Family Village was not large, Xiao Fan looked around, stunned by what he saw, his mind roaring, his expression turning exceptionally brilliant.
"Father, Mother?"
