Chapter 1779: Chapter 1798: Underlying Currents Surging

"Ye Xuan, we meet again."

The Ancestor of Beasts walked over, nodding slightly at Ye Xuan. After all, Ye Xuan had helped him break the curse of the Starry Sky Giant Beasts, and although the favor had been repaid, this connection still counted as old acquaintances.

"Greetings, Daoist."

Ye Xuan cupped his hands as a gesture of respect but did not use the term ’senior,’ for given his current level of cultivation, he did not need to address others as seniors.

The Ancestor of Beasts smiled slightly, not minding at all, for he regarded Ye Xuan as being in the same realm, considering the Twelve Heavenly Gates were not merely ornamental.

Rumbling!

Simultaneously, two terrifying auras as ancient as the heavens rolled in, and two deep, mysterious figures quietly appeared in Ye Xuan’s sight.

"It really is them!" Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, having already identified the newcomers.

Eternal Shadow!

Unknown how many Chaotic Universes these ancient monsters had lived through, now they wore expressions of tranquility as they gazed at Ye Xuan, their eyes faintly sweeping across the indifferent person.

The other emerged from the Chaos River, a forbidden figure still shrouded in Forbidden Death Light, his crimson eyes falling upon Ye Xuan, quietly scrutinizing him.

"Ye Xuan, we meet again."

The Eternal Shadow strolled up to Ye Xuan, looking down at him from a dominant position with eyes as deep as ancient pools, unperturbed.

"Should I call you Time, or should I call you Years?" Ye Xuan spoke lightly.

"Hehe."

Eternal Shadow was first taken aback, then glanced at the indifferent person, his scarlet eyes flashing with understanding.

"It seems this young girl has told you everything, perhaps just as well. Since you already know my origins, it saves me from telling you myself."

"As for my former title, I’ve long forgotten it. If you wish, you can call me Years, as everyone does." Eternal Shadow said calmly.

"Old fellow, don’t think that just because you’ve lived a long time, you can act your age and demand respect from me."

The indifferent person’s expression was icy, the Forbidden Death Light vibrated horribly. She was evidently displeased at being referred to as a ’young girl’ by Eternal Shadow.

Eternal Shadow laughed coldly, "You’ve only learned a few skills, yet a survivor of the last Chaotic Universe dares to flaunt before me?"

Boom!

The indifferent woman’s beautiful eyes chilled, a crimson hue rising in her eyes, surging Death Light shooting up to the sky, clearly she was truly enraged, even her jade hand slightly raised. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"The Ancient Forbidden Land hasn’t yet been entered, and the ancient star path hasn’t yet opened. Do you really plan to battle here?"

The forbidden figure from the Chaos River spoke hoarsely. His words caused both Eternal Shadow and the indifferent person to freeze, silencing them.

One must know that this forbidden figure from the Chaos River had lived for an age beyond accounting, perhaps even longer than the Eternal Shadow, causing the two to be wary.

"Ye Xuan, this is not a place meant for you. But since you’re here, you must be prepared to fall."

The forbidden figure from the Chaos River spoke indifferently, his inscrutable words echoing across the starry sky, clearly targeting Ye Xuan.

Back then, when he emerged from the Chaos River, he intended to kill Ye Xuan. If it weren’t for various concerns, Ye Xuan wouldn’t have survived in the first place.

"I think I will live well, perhaps it is you who will meet your end?" Ye Xuan replied calmly, entirely unfazed by the threats.

"Chaos Divine Sovereign, he doesn’t seem to hold you in regard, you might as well save yourself the trouble," Eternal Shadow said with a sneer.

Eternal Shadow bluntly revealed the other’s name, causing the forbidden figure from the Chaos River to look coldly, yet say nothing, for he held disdain for verbal disputes.

"Everyone has arrived. It’s quite lively, indeed."

Rumbling!

Black and white chess light, the breath of life and death, a radiance spread out as the Chess Ancestor arrived gracefully, holding a black and white chessboard.

This Chess Ancestor was vastly different from other forbidden figures. Not only was he surrounded by Forbidden Death Light, but there was also a presence of life force, giving an impression of being half alive, half dead.

"Humph, you’ve come to join the fuss too; aren’t you afraid of dying in the Ancient Forbidden Land?" sneered the Ancestor of Beasts with a sidelong glance.

"All you dead folks can come, why couldn’t someone like me, half alive, half dead?"

The Chess Ancestor smiled gently, unfazed by the provocation, but when he glanced at Ye Xuan, he nodded with a kind smile, seemingly showing friendliness towards Ye Xuan.

Looking at the black and white light surrounding the Chess Ancestor, Ye Xuan’s eyes grew deeply skeptical. Why does this Chess Ancestor, being a forbidden figure, have both Forbidden Death Light and a presence of life?

Perhaps sensing Ye Xuan’s inner doubt, the indifferent person secretly transmitted, "The Chess Ancestor, half living half dead, was the founder of the Chaos Star Master lineage."

"However, he was a servant of the Chaotic Universe. When the cycles of Chaotic Universe’s reincarnation destroyed, the catastrophe was weakest against him. He relied on the methods of the Chaos Star Master, leaving half his life force behind to escape the disaster, leading to his current half living half dead state."

"This person is highly ambitious, wishing to become truly alive, to be one of those few shaking the heavens and earth. He thought being half living half dead would make him stronger than us, but it turned out the forces of life and death canceled each other, leaving him the weakest."

"Yet, this person is scheming, even considering other forbidden figures as chess pieces. Though his cultivation lacks, his methods are numerous. You must be careful not to fall into his traps."

The indifferent person said much and gave the Chess Ancestor a fair assessment, prompting Ye Xuan to take a long, deliberate look at the Chess Ancestor, realizing this old fellow was not one to trust.

Indeed!

Not only the Chess Ancestor, but none of the forbidden figures present were harmless. They were all old, cunning individuals, each more powerful than the last.

And now, Ye Xuan had seen them all. According to his suspicions, other forbidden figures might arrive next, yet he had no clue who these unseen forbiddens might be.

"Ye Xuan, you truly are here."

A venomous voice suddenly echoed across the starry sky, just as Ye Xuan pondered, a sinister figure wrapped in Death Light walking from the edge of the cosmos.

Rumbling!

Upon this person’s arrival, the terrifying Forbidden Death Light spread across the sky, even causing the forbidden figures present to glance with astonishment.

They were not shocked by the newcomer’s cultivation—they were truly shocked by the newcomer’s aura, because it was extremely unfamiliar, indicating they did not recognize this forbidden figure.

One must understand forbidden figures having interacted with each other, living for incredibly long ages, the fact that they hadn’t met this forbidden before suggested that he might have become forbidden in this very era, which was simply unbelievable.

As everyone questioned and wondered about the newcomer’s identity, this forbidden figure appeared before them in an instant, and Ye Xuan was presented with a face he found extremely familiar.
