Chapter 1553

As soon as Seeing Xiao Yifeng entered the Starry Abyss, a roar echoed from its depths.

In an instant, a beam of purple lightning shot out from the Starry Abyss.

This lightning, carrying a world-destroying pressure, slashed down toward Seeing Xiao Yifeng.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Facing this terrifying Lei Jie, Seeing Xiao Yifeng did not retreat in the slightest.

He activated the Nine Nether Fire and the Heaven-Burning Flame; the two extraordinary flames burned wildly.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng unleashed his entire physical strength to resist this Lei Jie.

Boom—

Soon, an earth-shattering explosion roared.

The void in the area where Seeing Xiao Yifeng stood was completely annihilated and collapsed.

Overwhelming energy spread out.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng's body was directly blasted away.

Pfft!!!

His body hit the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood; his face turned deathly pale, and he suffered severe injuries.

Yet he still rose to his feet, relying on his formidable will.

Although this Lei Jie was terrifying,

it posed no great threat to Seeing Xiao Yifeng at his current state.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng immediately cultivated his technique, continuing to absorb and refine this energy to break through to a higher realm.

The second seal of the Starry Ancient Seal opened.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng gained quite a few memories concerning the Starry Ancient Seal.

He became even more familiar with the Starry Ancient Seal.

The Starry Ancient Seal was formed by combining tens of thousands of star meteorites.

One of these star meteorites was left behind by a supreme expert in the stars.

It contained that expert's lifelong cultivation insights, along with various martial arts techniques and divine abilities.

This expert could be said to have died at the hands of the Starry Ancient Seal.

However, this supreme expert had not died completely.

He used all his energy and a drop of his innate essential blood to forge this Starry Ancient Seal, suppressing it within the Starry Abyss.

He also sealed all his legacy and martial arts techniques within this Starry Abyss.

To break the seal of the Starry Ancient Seal, one must gather all these thousands of star meteorites.

These thousands of star meteorites are respectively located in the major regions within the Starry Ancient Seal.

The legacy and memory power contained in each star meteorite are exactly the same.

Only when the same quantity is gathered in sufficient numbers

Only then can the Starry Ancient Seal lift its seal and release the treasures within.

As Seeing Xiao Yifeng continued to delve deeper into the Starry Abyss,

the star power erupting from the Starry Abyss became even more terrifying; even Seeing Xiao Yifeng found it somewhat difficult to endure.

He directly took out the Star Map to investigate the location of the Starry Ancient Seal.

Following the guidance of the Star Map, Seeing Xiao Yifeng then found the location of the Starry Ancient Seal.

This huge star is the Starry Ancient Seal.

Yet the grade of this Starry Ancient Seal was not low; it was actually a Star Artifact.

It contained boundless star power.

If this Starry Ancient Seal had not been damaged,

its own power alone would have been enough to obliterate a martial expert at the Half-Saint realm; perhaps even a Saint expert would find it hard to resist it.

Boom, boom, boom—

At this moment, the star power within the Starry Abyss grew even more terrifying.

It seemed as if some terrifying monster existed within the Starry Abyss.

While dodging the attacks of the star power,

Seeing Xiao Yifeng made his way to the very depths of the Starry Abyss.

Then, Seeing Xiao Yifeng felt the scenery before his eyes change.

He found himself in a vast universe, surrounded by dense nebulae, with starlight of various colors shimmering.

A huge, towering, mysterious palace stood here.

Outside this mysterious palace stood a group of figures clad in armor.

They were members of the Zhao Xinghe Army.

"Pay respects to the Marshal!!!"

Immediately, this group of Zhao Xinghe soldiers bowed deeply toward Seeing Xiao Yifeng and shouted.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng walked straight inside.

"Pay respects to the Marshal!!!"

As soon as he stepped into this mysterious palace,

this group of Zhao Xinghe soldiers present knelt on the ground again, calling out with solemn and grave expressions.

Sitting before them were seven or eight old men and more than ten youths.

"Rise!!!"

Seeing Xiao Yifeng spoke with a cold expression.

"How did you know I had returned?"

Seeing Xiao Yifeng asked.

"Because of this!!!"

One of the youths handed a jade token to Seeing Xiao Yifeng.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng took the jade token.

Instantly, an image appeared in his mind.

He saw that the people before him were precisely his father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, aunt...

The Xiao family members, including his grandparents, younger aunt, and cousin sister, had all gathered here to worship his grandfather.

"So that is how it is!!!"

Seeing Xiao Yifeng said in a deep voice.

This jade token was a token left to Seeing Xiao Yifeng by his parents; it was the tally his parents had once used.

This token represented the identity of Seeing Xiao Yifeng's parents within the Xiao clan.

"It seems you had long guessed I had returned."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng said.

"Yes, we sensed the fluctuation of the Ancient Star Seal within your body."

"So we sent people to search for your whereabouts, and as a result, we encountered that Star Phenomenon and learned of your location."

These Zhao Xinghe soldiers looked at Seeing Xiao Yifeng and spoke one after another.

"The Star Phenomenon, what was that about?"

Seeing Xiao Yifeng could not help but ask.

"This is the most unique Star Phenomenon of our Zhao Xinghe lineage."

"Once it appears, it proves a great opportunity has arisen; naturally, we could not miss it."

"Therefore, we immediately rushed to the Beidou Star Domain to seize this opportunity."

"However, we were secretly blocked by a Emperor Lord powerhouse, leading to our failure."

"Fortunately, we promptly informed the Zhao Xinghe Imperial Court of your father's news."

"Only with the support of the Zhao Xinghe Imperial Court could we successfully complete the mission."

"Otherwise, we would likely have perished in the Beidou Star Domain."

The leader of this Zhao Xinghe army looked at Seeing Xiao Yifeng and spoke one by one.

"You have worked hard!!!"

Seeing Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.
