Chapter 1782: Chapter 1801: Ancient Battle Soul

"Go!"

The Heartless Man called out to Ye Xuan and quickly entered the ancient star path, followed by other forbidden entities.

"Let’s go together."

Ye Xuan called to the Lord of the Human Dao, and the two also entered the ancient star path.

...

The ancient star path, eternally desolate!

This is a mottled and incomplete ancient path, with faint starlight sprouting beneath their feet, converging into a starry avenue stretching beyond the eye can see.

Wuuu wuuu wuuu!

Suddenly, as Ye Xuan set foot on the ancient star path, mournful and desolate cries reached his ears, the faint wailing sounds made Ye Xuan’s soul tremble, and a pang of sourness surged in his heart.

"Be careful, these are the lamentations of ancient war souls. Don’t be disturbed by them, or great horrors will arise and take your life." The Heartless Man quickly conveyed a warning, reminding Ye Xuan of the dangers on this ancient star path.

"Ancient war souls are lamenting?"

Ye Xuan murmured, the sourness in his heart growing thicker. He seemed to understand these cries; although his spirit was unsteady with tremors, it did not harm him.

Trusting his intuition, Ye Xuan disregarded the Heartless Man’s warning and earnestly listened to the faint cries, a hue of sorrow and solitude enveloping him.

"Rebuild my war soul, slaughter the Nine Heavens, Xuanhuang weeps blood, my soul is undying!"

"Heaven and Earth are merciless, all spirits suffer. With my divine blood, I shall sprinkle the firmament, with my divine bones, aid the future."

"Kill!"

Ancient and mournful roars kept reaching Ye Xuan’s ears, as blurry figures passed before his eyes.

Xuanhuang weeps blood, the eternal universe mourns, that’s the blood of predecessors falling, that’s eternal desolation breeding.

Unyielding, slaughtering toward the Nine Heavens, death’s stillness couldn’t quell the war soul’s eternity!

Ancient war drums were pounding, countless creatures were roaring, the heavens stained with blood, corpses fell like meteors, yet the cries, unwilling and desolate, echoed through the eternal universe.

Did I cry?

Suddenly, Ye Xuan awoke, a tear tracing down his cheek, he wiped it away in astonishment, standing there in utter daze.

Ye Xuan had forgotten how long it had been since he last shed a tear. He had long forgotten the feeling of crying, yet now, he actually wept?

Why did I shed tears?

Why am I saddened?

At this moment, Ye Xuan questioned himself, not knowing why he felt such heartache and sorrow.

"Ah!"

Suddenly!

Ye Xuan only felt immense stabbing pain in his Sea of Consciousness, making him scream, his feet faltered, clutching his head in agony, howling painfully.

"What’s wrong with you?" The Lord of the Human Dao exclaimed.

"I told him not to be disturbed by the cries of ancient war souls, but he didn’t listen. Now the war soul’s will is eroding his divine soul, he’s in big trouble." The Heartless Man reproached with frustration.

The Heartless Man initially hoped Ye Xuan would serve her purposes in the Ancient Forbidden Land, not expecting him to encounter big trouble even before entering it.

What are ancient war souls?

They are the souls of beings from ancient times who have perished; although scattered, their undying will endures along this ancient path, impossible for even the chaotic universe to obliterate.

Their will remains eternal, devoid of emotions, leaving only past sorrows and sufferings, affecting any who come here.

Should one fail to withstand the eternal sorrow of the ancient war souls, their divine soul would shatter, even forbidden beings would meet death, with no exceptions possible.

"Why so familiar?"

"Who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"Ah!"

Ye Xuan howled in pain, the cries of ancient war souls growing louder in his ears, more scenes flashing across his mind.

These scenes were ones Ye Xuan had never seen before, as if they bred out of nowhere in his mind, yet they felt extremely familiar to him.

"Ye Xuan, wake up!" the Lord of the Human Dao coldly shouted, hoping to rouse Ye Xuan.

"It’s useless, under the assault of ancient war soul’s will, unless he can withstand it himself, no one can save him." The Heartless Man frowned.

Ye Xuan faced great calamity, other forbidden entities watched indifferently, especially the Undying Heavenly Lord, whose gaze at Ye Xuan was filled with sinister glee.

If Ye Xuan were to die here, it would spare him the need to personally annihilate Ye Xuan, though letting Ye Xuan die this way was somewhat unsatisfactory, the Undying Heavenly Lord still remembered his true purpose here.

Killing Ye Xuan was only part of it; his true goal was to enter the Ancient Battlefield and find that legendary mythical flower.

Only by obtaining this mythical flower could he have the chance to become human again, and according to ’Prison,’ if he could get this flower, he could become like ’Prison.’

The immense power of ’Prison’ filled the Undying Heavenly Lord with utmost awe, it was an existence he could only look up to; even as a forbidden being, he trembled with dread before ’Prison,’ as though a single look could doom him to endless suffering.

"Go!"

The Chaos Divine Sovereign cast a cold glance at Ye Xuan, then shot forward along the ancient star path, other forbidden entities followed suit, and naturally, Ye Xuan’s life or death was none of their concern.

Of course, among these forbidden entities, many had their thoughts about Ye Xuan, there were even those who wanted to kill him.

However, this ancient star path was unstable by nature, and everyone had established rules not to take action, so they naturally could not break this rule.

Zzz zzz zzz!

Many forbidden entities shot forward at once, instantly vanishing from the spot, only the Lord of the Human Dao looked anxiously at the unconscious Ye Xuan, not knowing how to save him.

...

"The eternal wait, you have finally returned."

Eternal desolation, heavy as the sky, fleeting phantom figures drifted in the void, leaving Ye Xuan stunned on the spot.

This was within Ye Xuan’s consciousness, he looked at the dense figures before him in astonishment, a pang of sourness growing within him.

"Who are you?" Ye Xuan asked dumbfounded. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Who we are is not important, what’s important is do you know who you are?"

Echos reverberated in Ye Xuan’s ears, phantom shadows gazed at Ye Xuan, though Ye Xuan couldn’t see their features, he felt their fervent gaze, as if they were looking across eternity directly at him.

"I am Ye Xuan."

Ye Xuan answered, for he is who he is, never anyone else.

"No, you are hope, the sole hope transcending the eternal universe, you have yet to awaken your memory, you are unaware of your responsibility."

Eternal melancholy echoed persistently, causing Ye Xuan’s head to throb painfully, images not belonging to him constantly surfaced in his mind.

At this moment, Ye Xuan began to question himself, questioning his own identity.

He saw someone, someone almost identical to himself, but the aura of this person was infinitely more powerful than his, despite having begun the Twelve Heavenly Gates, he still felt small before this person.
