Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 1783 - 1802: Mysterious Symbol
The images twisted chaotically, memories surged, Ye Xuan resisted these suddenly emerging memories because he knew that perhaps these were his memories from the previous life, now gradually awakening amidst the sorrowful cries of the Ancient Battle Souls.
"You are not him yet; only when you awaken your past memories will you truly understand the responsibilities that rest upon you."
"Go forth, retrieve what belongs to you from the Ancient Forbidden Land. One day, you will understand your duty."
Boom!
The next moment, these Ancient Battle Souls shattered violently and then transformed into a mysterious symbol, shooting toward Ye Xuan.
"Uh ah!"
Outside.
A low growl escaped Ye Xuan’s mouth as he suddenly opened his eyes, showing an expression of uncertainty and astonishment, as if the feeling was like a dream, yet it felt incredibly real.
"Are you alright?"
Seeing Ye Xuan wake up, the Human Dao Lord let out a sigh of relief, only to have her expression change drastically in the next moment because Ye Xuan’s forehead was glowing.
Dong—Dong—Dong!
A mysterious symbol pulsated on Ye Xuan’s forehead, emanating a profound and ancient aura, which Ye Xuan felt because this symbol was actually formed from the Ancient Battle Souls, now appearing on his forehead.
What is this thing?
Ye Xuan asked himself in puzzled uncertainty, but couldn’t find an answer.
However, Ye Xuan had a feeling, a friendly sensation, as if this mysterious symbol was not malicious but rather comforting.
Most crucially, when Ye Xuan entered this Starry Road, he felt its great peril, but when this symbol appeared, the sense of danger entirely vanished.
It seemed like this symbol formed from the Ancient Battle Souls had become his Amulet, allowing him safe passage on the Starry Road.
"Let’s go!"
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a deep glint crossing his gaze, as he called out to the Human Dao Lord and shot along the Starry Road.
Ye Xuan had a feeling, an extremely strong feeling, that if he guessed right, this symbol would serve a great purpose, possibly becoming his trump card on the Ancient Battlefield.
...
Bang bang bang!
The ancient road shattered, starlight burst forth, horrifying black hole fissures appeared, ready to obliterate everything.
Woo woo woo!
The terrible wind whistled, sinister black whirlwinds swept across the Starry Road, and the sorrowful sounds of Ancient Battle Souls added to the mental disturbance and the struggle to proceed.
The various forbidden individuals cautiously ventured deeper on the Starry Road, despite being dubbed forbidden, they tread as if on thin ice.
They move very slowly, not because they do not wish to reach the end quickly, but because this Starry Road is filled with numerous restrictions, which can generate immense terror, even the forbidden individuals would face calamity.
Neither the Chaos Black Hole nor the Chaos Gale matter, for they can withstand such dangers completely.
The truly frightening aspect is the restrictions on this Starry Road, left by strong figures from Ancient Times, and if accidentally caught, escaping would prove very difficult, possibly leading to forever being lost on it.
Boom!
Suddenly, as the forbidden individuals carefully advanced, a terrifying loud noise came from behind, prompting them to turn and look.
"Ye Xuan?"
Upon seeing the person from behind, the Undying Heavenly Lord’s complexion grew cold, not expecting Ye Xuan to withstand it and quickly catch up.
"Ye Daoist is indeed impressive, able to withstand the intrusion of the Ancient Battle Souls," Chess Ancestor smiled faintly, speaking words of admiration.
Regrettably, Ye Xuan ignored the mind-manipulating old fox, merely glancing calmly at the forbidden individuals as an inexplicable look passed his eyes.
On this journey, Ye Xuan finally discovered the mysteries of the symbol.
This symbol could entirely be considered an Amulet; he did not need to tread carefully like everyone else, as all restrictions were ineffective against him.
Upon discovering this, Ye Xuan felt great excitement and quickly hatched a sinister plan.
"Ye Xuan, follow me closely, don’t fall behind," Wuxinren transmitted to Ye Xuan.
"Everyone, I’ll go ahead, not waiting for you."
Yet Ye Xuan ignored Wuxinren’s words, as with the mysterious symbol on him, the Starry Road posed no threat.
Boom!
Ye Xuan stepped forward, swiftly surpassing everyone with the Human Dao Lord, disappearing instantly, causing the forbidden individuals’ faces to change, puzzled by Ye Xuan’s boldness. Did he not know how dangerous the Starry Road was?
Ye Xuan’s brutish approach, if caught in a restriction, might lead him to be eternally lost on the road.
"Hmph, let’s see how he dies," muttered the Undying Heavenly Lord venomously, yet an inexplicable unease gripped him as Ye Xuan’s departing gaze proved too vicious.
Everyone continued onward, each with varied thoughts, for these forbiddens, living countless ages, were veteran foxes, aware of how Ye Xuan’s stance raised their caution.
...
"This is the place."
On a narrow star path, Ye Xuan’s face showed coldness as he surveyed it, discovering multiple restrictions, the ideal area to act.
"Have you really thought it over? If we act, these forbiddens will surely intervene. Just the two of us may fail to kill the Undying, instead becoming public targets," the Human Dao Lord softly spoke.
"Rest assured, these restrictions are from Ancient Times; I will only target the Undying, the old folks won’t implicate themselves for him."
"But these forbiddens have set rules; acting before reaching the Ancient Forbidden Land is forbidden, and breaking it, won’t they intervene?" the Human Dao Lord asked.
"Rules?"
Ye Xuan sneered in disdain, saying: "The so-called rules are meant to be broken, and these old folks prioritize benefits over anything; as long as their interests aren’t affected, they won’t bother."
Ye Xuan paused slightly, his eyes as deep as ancient pools, saying: "Moreover, this is the best chance to kill the Undying. If he enters the Ancient Forbidden Land and gains great fortune, it’s the outcome I least desire."
Ye Xuan knew the Ancient Forbidden Land held not only the eleventh Small Cauldron but also abundant fortunes, including treasures sought by forbidden individuals.
If the Undying gained greater fortune and enhanced cultivation, it posed a significant threat to Ye Xuan.
Thus, Ye Xuan must eliminate any threats before entering the Ancient Forbidden Land, aligning with his consistent principles.
