As the night progresses, the pedestrians on the bustling streets gradually become fewer and fewer, and the high-hanging lanterns slowly burn out their red candles.
The Lantern Festival, a night of prosperity and a year of reunion, finally ends with the fireworks and ends in annihilation.
On the arch bridge, there were still women in twos and threes, holding red lanterns and leaning on the railing to look at each other, as if they could see their husbands guarding the border from countless miles away.
Ye Chen walked by and sighed in his heart, feeling sad for these women. Their husbands might have died on the battlefield.
He should understand that the wars between mortals and the prosperity tonight were all obtained with the blood and bones of frontier soldiers.
With another sad sigh, he stepped across the arch bridge.
Little Ye Fan got tired, curled up, nestled in his arms, and fell asleep quietly, still holding his little lantern.
By the river, Ji Ningshuang squatted there, sending a river lantern into the distance, holding her jade hands tightly, and praying.
Immortals who are high above the world are just like mortals in this world. They have ordinary prayers for the health of their families.
Ye Chen held little Ye Fan in his arms and looked at the beautiful figure quietly.
Once upon a time, he also wanted to be a mortal, live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and ignore the chaos of the world, just like the way of the world.
When I have children and a family, I hope the world will be peaceful. The past is too painful and I don’t want it to continue in this life.
However, this cruel law destined that longing to be just extravagant hopes. If you stand too high, you will have to shoulder more.
"You're so absorbed, what are you thinking about?" Ji Ningshuang stood up, whispering softly and caressing little Ye Fan.
"Nothing." Ye Chen smiled, "I'm home."
Under the moonlit night, the shadows of a family of three became blurry.
It was still in the small garden. Ye Chen placed Ye Fan in the clouds, reflecting the moonlight. His little face was full of pain. He was dreaming about his mother and also talking about the pain.
Ye Chen clenched one hand tightly and placed the other gently on Ye Fan. A vortex appeared in his palm, and he used the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique.
But the thunder and lightning of God's Punishment could not be swallowed up, and they were still tearing at the little guy's body, torturing that young life.
Guilt and self-blame filled his heart again, so what if he killed the emperor, so what if he was famous for eternity, but he couldn't save his child, and could only watch him being tortured.
Ji Ningshuang stepped forward and gently took away Ye Chen's hand.
The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique is useless against Heaven's Punishment. If he continues to devour it like this, it will hurt Ye Chen's Taoist roots and cause endless troubles.
She understood Ye Chen's state of mind. As a father, his heart ached, but as a mother, she couldn't help feeling like a knife.
If you want to blame, you can only blame the ruthless heaven, which cannot destroy them and targets their children. Heaven is too cruel.
There was no words all night, and in the blink of an eye, a new day dawned.
In the early morning, before the sun was shining, Ye Chen and the others were on the road. They had been out for too long and it was time to go home.
Little Ye Fan was full of energy, still sitting on Ye Chen's neck, very happy, as if he had forgotten the pain.
After leaving the ancient star and entering the starry sky, Ye Chen took the map, identified the direction, and ran to the east.
When passing by Hua Fanxing, Ji Ningshuang stopped slightly and did not go in. She only looked outside from a distance.
Once upon a time, this ancient mortal star had entrusted her with her ordinary long-cherished wishes, but it was broken again and again.
"I passed by before, but unfortunately, I didn't go in." Ye Chen smiled, "It's not like I had to wait so long."
"This time, don't miss it." Ji Ningshuang chuckled.
When the two were talking, a stream of light flew from one side. It was a wretched old man, sitting on a purple gold gourd with his hands folded, humming a small tune all the way, very leisurely.
When passing by the two of them, the old man did not forget to take a look at them, and his eyes were particularly focused on Ji Ningshuang.
As the same saying goes, people are so beautiful that not just ordinary people, even monks want to take a few more looks when they see her.
"The good cabbage was given to the pig again." The wretched old man glanced at Ye Chen, clicked his tongue, and flew away.
Wow! If Ye Chen quits, he will explode on the spot. I am so handsome, but what a **** look you have.
Thanks to the old man running fast, otherwise, Ye Chen would definitely bring him back to talk about his ideals.
Ji Ningshuang covered her mouth and smiled. Ye Chen was so angry that her stomach hurt, but she was amused by the metaphor of pigs and cabbages.
"Don't let me see you again. I'll beat you every time I see you." Ye Chen cursed and waved his hands to sacrifice the domain gate.
The two of them stepped in together, not heading to Dachu, but to the Xuanhuang Continent, to visit the Yaochi Holy Land.
The little guy was very excited and was curious about the space passage. In other words, he was curious about many things in this world. He ran around with stumbling steps.
"Da Chu has no reincarnation, how did you survive?" Ji Ningshuang followed little Ye Fan with her fairy light, while looking sideways at Ye Chen, with too many doubts.
"Went to the underworld for a tour." Ye Chen said with a smile, sending a stream of spiritual consciousness into Ji Ningshuang's brows, and all the deeds he had done in the underworld were integrated into his spiritual consciousness.
After he was done, he consciously took a step to the side, fearing that this mother would be like the Nine Emperors and Nine Greats of Chu in the past, domineering and swearing.
Seeing Ye Chen like this, Ji Ningshuang's expression was a little strange, but she didn't ask any more questions and just focused on reading the spiritual consciousness.
Soon, her expression changed and she became extremely shocked.
Who would have thought that the Dacheng Holy Body Emperor Huang, who once challenged the Five Emperors eons ago, was still in the underworld and still alive.
There is also the Emperor of the Underworld, that is a real emperor.
One great emperor, one great saint, two supreme beings! This kind of lineup will definitely crush all the heavens and all realms.
At this moment, she realized that Ye Chen moved to the side.
The only strange thing was that this incident was so shocking. Despite her determination, she was still in a state of shock and almost cursed.
While shocked, she couldn't help but sigh, lamenting that Ye Chen's experience was so bizarre, even more exciting than a storyteller.
She was shocked, but Ye Chen rushed out suddenly, hugged Ye Fan, and then returned instantly.
No wonder he was so nervous, it was just because he smelled danger. He smelled it, and Ji Ningshuang also smelled it.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Chen came back, he saw that the space passage collapsed, or in other words, it was cut open with a sword.
The passage was broken, and the two of them escaped one after another, and appeared in the starry sky again, only to realize what had happened.
There was a war, there was a war in the starry sky, and there was a lot of movement. By coincidence, their passage was affected.
Looking at the two sides of the battle, there is a young man in purple and a young man in white. One is majestic and the other is heroic. Both of them have the level of Saint King.
It is worth mentioning that the blood of the two people is extremely terrifying, and they both have a hidden power, which is mysterious and ancient.
"The Emperor's Seal is missing." Ye Chen narrowed his eyes suddenly, staring at the treasure seal hanging above the purple-haired young man's head.
Those were imperial soldiers, whom he had seen in Tianque Imperial City.
Speaking of the Tianque Emperor's Seal, we have to talk about Emperor Tianque, who was the first to become emperor after Emperor Xuanyuan.
Three thousand lives and one realm of death, I just want to... fill the gap in the sky with my bare hands.
This is the judgment of the world on Emperor Tianque. He is not a human being, but his true body is a piece of heavenly immortal stone. He has cultivated spiritual wisdom for endless years, and then transformed into a human form. He sings all the way, is invincible in his life, and finally defies heaven and becomes the emperor.
The emperor's name has shocked the past and the present, and the life of Emperor Tianque is full of mystery and is praised by the world.
"Emperor Zhutian's Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword." Ji Ningshuang also whispered, what she was looking at was the young man in white.
"It can't be wrong." Ye Chen nodded and pointed at the Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword, which he had seen in the ancient city of Donghuang in his previous life.
The Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword is not complete, but incomplete.
In this regard, Ye Chen knew very well that he was beaten by Liu Dao.
Few people know this secret. If the one-armed old man from Donghuang Ancient City hadn't told it, he would have been kept in the dark.
Emperor Zhutian is also famous in all the worlds. He is the first emperor to become an emperor in the ancient times. He once controlled all spirits and was invincible in the world. The legends of emperors are all myths, and the emperors of all heavens are no exception.
"Two holy kings, both carrying imperial weapons, what's the situation?" Ye Chen scratched his head, a little stunned, but one thing is worth affirming, those two people are definitely not simple.
"The one in purple is Li Fengqiu, the son of Emperor Tianque, and the one in white is Mu Yang, whose identity is the son of Emperor Zhutian." Ji Ningshuang opened her mouth and revealed the secret.
"The emperor's son again?" Ye Chen was stunned and looked at Ji Ningshuang in astonishment, "Can you recognize this?"
"Both of them have been to the Yaochi Holy Land and had a relationship with it." Ji Ningshuang smiled and said, "Li Fengqiu was once the pinnacle quasi-emperor, but he entered the world due to robbery. As for Mu Yang, he should have been there since the ancient times. He was sealed, and the person who sealed him was probably his father, Emperor Zhutian."
"That's strange. Are the two emperors so hostile? They are fighting with the emperor's soldiers." Ye Chen was confused.
"Of course there is no grudge. Emperor Tianque must have gone crazy again, and he happened to be encountered by Emperor Zhutian, so he started fighting." Ji Ningshuang muttered, secretly guessing.
"When you say that, Li Fengqiu is indeed not normal." Ye Chen said, staring at Li Fengqiu.
Li Fengqiu's eyes were full of violent and bloodthirsty color, and his hair was blood red. He was in a state of madness. A terrible force was raging in his body. It was that terrible force that disturbed his mind. .
It doesn't matter that he's obsessed, he's so strong that it's scary.
It was precisely because of his obsession with madness and his extremely violent power that even Emperor Zhutian's son Mu Yang was frequently injured.
"When Li Fengqiu came into the world at Yingjie, something happened, and he would often fall into a state of rage, similar to being possessed by a demon. When he stepped into Yaochi in the past, he asked the fairy mother of Yaochi to help him suppress his inner demons. Unexpectedly, after so many years, he actually It hasn’t been eliminated yet." Ji Ningshuang said slowly.
As the two spoke, the starry sky moved, the two imperial soldiers collided, the extreme imperial power spread, the starry sky collapsed, and many dead stars were affected and turned into ashes instantly.
Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang both summoned the imperial soldiers to protect themselves, and the little boy Ye Fan was also brought into the copper furnace.
The emperor's son versus the emperor's son, and both were carrying the ultimate emperor's weapons. The battle scene was extremely vast. Every collision was intertwined with destructive visions, outlining a scene of destruction.
Emperor Tianque and Emperor Zhutian were both the supreme and invincible existences in the world, but due to the restrictions of the law, they could not meet each other, nor could they fight in the name of the emperor.
Now, their children's conquest is just like the Immortal King, just like the God King, and it can be regarded as a continuation of eternal regrets.
This time, it is an unparalleled competition between the two lines of imperial inheritance.
It can be seen that Mu Yang, the emperor's son versus the emperor's son, was at a disadvantage and was beaten back by Li Fengqiu.
It's not that Mu Yang is inferior to Li Fengqiu, but that Li Fengqiu has gone crazy and violently exerted his strength, which has given him domineering fighting power.
