"Do you blame me?"

Ye Xuan looked at Canghui and said calmly.

In the darkness beneath the sea eye, it was unusually quiet.

Canghui heard Ye Xuan’s words and shook his head, "Emperor Ye, what are you saying? If it weren’t for you back then, I would probably have ceased to exist."

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "That’s not how you repay a debt."

Canghui pondered, "Besides repaying a debt, it’s because I saw hope in you, Emperor Ye."

Ye Xuan unhooked the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd from his waist and tossed it to Canghui.

Boom!

The Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd floated in front of Canghui, the mouth of the gourd opened, and the liquor inside turned into a river-like waterfall flowing into Canghui’s mouth.

Canghui exclaimed in delight.

After a hearty drink, Canghui returned the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd to Ye Xuan and asked, "Emperor Ye, what kind of wine is this, so exhilarating?"

Ye Xuan took back the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd, drank a sip, and said with a smile, "It’s brewed by a guy named Gai Dao. I’ll introduce you someday."

"Sounds good!" Canghui said with a smile.

Then silence fell between them.

After a moment.

Ye Xuan spoke softly, "Perhaps it won’t even take a thousand years."

Canghui’s singular eye flickered with excitement, "Agreed."

Ye Xuan reattached the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd to his waist and said softly, "Then for now, I’ll leave it to you."

Canghui respectfully said, "Rest assured, Emperor Ye, as long as I’m here, the Lord of Destruction will never leave."

"By the way."

Ye Xuan seemed to remember something and asked softly, "The so-called Immortal from the Demons Great World, did it ever come looking for you?"

Canghui nodded upon hearing this, "It came once 80,000 years ago, but we never talked, and it left directly."

Ye Xuan mused, "Do you know where it came from or where it went?"

Canghui shook his head, indicating he did not know.

Ye Xuan asked no more and leapt away.

Very soon.

Ye Xuan flew out from the sea eye.

Rumble!

Above the sky, thunder clouds rolled.

Vast Divine Thunder descended.

Falling upon Ye Xuan.

With closed eyes, Ye Xuan endured the baptism of the formidable force.

As if enjoying it.

As if immersed in thought.

When he opened his eyes again, the thunder dispersed.

Along with the thunder clouds in the sky, vanished without a trace.

Ye Xuan’s gaze became sharp and full of aggressive intent.

"Over long years, many things can change..."

"Ye Xuan."

"You must grow accustomed to it."

Ye Xuan murmured to himself.

A terrifying aura erupted from Ye Xuan’s body.

Suppressing All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!

From afar, Lei Jiao, who was enlightening, was already shocked upon seeing Ye Xuan appear again.

Wasn’t this guy struck dead by lightning?

How did he emerge again?

And feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Ye Xuan, Lei Jiao trembled all over, instinctively kowtowing, with an innate urge to submit to the black-robed youth.

As if seeing the supreme Great Emperor of the world!

Boom!

In the next moment, Lei Jiao only saw a flash before being blasted away.

Lei Jiao watched as Ye Xuan’s figure rapidly shrank in his view.

Just before disappearing, Lei Jiao saw Ye Xuan seemingly transform into the Sovereign of the universe, overlooking the sea eye, and violently punching downward.

The sea eye seemed to vanish under that punch.

Lei Jiao couldn’t see what happened next, but everything he witnessed had already left him astounded.

An unprecedented shock.

At this moment, Lei Jiao had only one thought.

If there truly were a god in the world.

It would be none other than the black-robed youth he just saw.

At this moment.

The sea eye of the Dragon Clan Sea.

Ye Xuan’s punch landed.

The entire sea eye seemed to have vanished.

The surrounding seawater, in an instant, turned to nothingness.

Boom!

But at the same time, under the sea eye, two terrifying auras suddenly rose.

One looming figure obscured the sky!

That was a Divine Dragon!

The Divine Dragon had a pair of wings that blotted out the sky!

The Divine Dragon had only one eye, full of savagery and ferocity.

Yet, it carried a trace of doubt at the moment.

This was Canghui Yinglong.

The peerless powerhouse guarding the Lord of Destruction.

Suspended above Canghui Yinglong was an ancient Divine Map.

It was the Heavenly Destiny True Device of Canghui Yinglong.

The Yinglong Map!

And in the middle of that Yinglong Map, an orange glow was gradually evolving into a yaksha-like monster.

This Yaksha was entirely orange, dragging a barbed tail, with eyes flickering with the waves of destruction.

It looked unremarkable, but the terrifying power it exuded was astonishing.

"Ah..."

He spread his arms, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, a look of enjoyment on his face.

"The taste of freedom is truly enchanting."

Dou Tian Divine Domain, Lord of Destruction!

Ye Xuan looked at the two who appeared together, not surprised at all, but as calm as still water.

"How did you find out?"

Canghui Yinglong’s single eye scrutinized Ye Xuan and spoke slowly.

Ye Xuan gazed at Canghui Yinglong calmly and said slowly, "You think you understand yourself, but you don’t realize I know you even better."

"When I came here today, I already had my suspicions."

"After seeing you, I grew even more certain."

"Especially when you mentioned that so-called Immortal, I became even more assured."

"Assured that you are no longer yourself."

Ye Xuan spoke these words so calmly, yet it made Canghui Yinglong sneer coldly: "I am no longer myself? What qualifies you to say that?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, "You don’t understand anything."

Canghui Yinglong sneered, "Emperor Ye just needs a warden. What does a warden need to understand?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes gradually turned cold, "But you shouldn’t act so hastily."

Canghui Yinglong raised his body, coldly looking down at Ye Xuan, and said, "Isn’t it just because Emperor Ye pushed too hard?"

Ye Xuan pinched his fingers, not speaking.

The Lord of Destruction, on the Yinglong Map, had already calmed down, opened his eyes, and looked down at Ye Xuan, laughing, "Oh, is Emperor Ye angry?"

Ye Xuan ignored it.

The Lord of Destruction continued to mock, "You’ve schemed for so long, and now seeing your men turned against you, your heart must ache, right?"

"But this is the way of the world."

"The strength of my Dou Tian Divine Domain is something you can’t imagine."

"Canghui joining my Dou Tian Divine Domain is called turning over a new leaf."

"You’re so mighty, Emperor Ye; why not join my Dou Tian Divine Domain? You might have a place as the future Dou Tian King."

The Lord of Destruction kept talking, not noticing that Canghui’s eyes had turned cold.

"Lord of Destruction, don’t forget what you promised me,"

Canghui Yinglong said coldly.

The Lord of Destruction laughed, "Oh, don’t take offense, Brother Canghui, I was just speaking casually."

Canghui Yinglong said flatly, "It seems you weren’t just speaking casually."

Boom!

But at that moment, Ye Xuan, who had been silent all along.

Finally made his move!

Unleashing his full Taoist Body without reservation.
