Chapter 941: All Heroes Rise Together

Not long after, news of breakthroughs from Ye Zhetian and Ye Beichen came one after another.

These two ancestors of the Ye Clan had already been extremely close to Transcendence.

After guarding the Wugui Space-Time Sea for several hundred years, resisting the harassment of misfortune while comprehending the Space-Time Origin, everything fell into place, and both attained the Dao.

On the day Ye Zhetian broke through, an imperial sword swept across the sky, his Zhetian battle method operating to its utmost, sword qi surging straight into the Star River, unmatched in dominance.

Ye Beichen, meanwhile, saw his Star Dao Rule perfected, his North Star light shining across the ages, steady and profound, like a mountain, like a peak.

The simultaneous attainment of the Dao by the two Ye Clan ancestors greatly boosted the morale of the entire Ye Clan.

They both marveled at the strangeness and uniqueness of the Wugui Space-Time Sea.

Thinking back to those years, they had cultivated bitterly in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths for endless ages, yet had long been unable to find the method to ascend to the Transcendent realm.

But in the Wugui Space-Time Sea, in just a few hundred years, everything fell into place.

While this was certainly due to their own sufficient foundations, it was also inseparable from the special nature of the Wugui Space-Time Sea.

Perhaps it was because the Space-Time Origin here was the purest, making it easier to touch the essence of the Great Dao;

Or perhaps, because it was closer to the Wugui Realm, the pressure of the great tribulation stimulated their own potential.

No wonder the vast majority of Transcendents throughout the ages chose to break through in the Wugui Space-Time Sea.

There was indeed reason in this.

As the veteran powerhouses broke through their realms one after another, the younger generation of peerless Heavenly Prides were not left behind either.

They were like rising, brilliant suns, a Great Sun Sweep illuminating the endless Darkness, drawing the astonishment and admiration of countless beings, stirring up waves in all directions.

On this day, at the entrance to a certain secret realm in the Wugui Space-Time Sea, purple rays of light shot into the sky, and vast imperial might swept across the surroundings.

A young figure clad in a purple robe slowly walked out from the secret realm.

It was none other than Ziyang Shen!

Having entered the Wugui Space-Time Sea for several hundred years, he had finally broken through his seclusion!

The strength of his aura had clearly already reached the Ultimate Leap realm!

"It's Emperor Ziyang! He's come out of seclusion!"

The cultivators stationed nearby cried out in surprise, all turning to look.

Ziyang Shen had long been acclaimed as one of the top-tier Top-tier Monsters, second only to Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen.

After the fall of Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen, he had become one of the few Heavenly Prides with the greatest momentum in the current Zhutian Wanjie.

Every move he made drew immense attention!

"This is the legendary Five-Extreme Realm living being, Emperor Ziyang!"

"Heavens! This time in seclusion, he has actually broken through to the Ultimate Leap realm? How is that possible!"

"How many years has he been cultivating? At most, just over a thousand years, right? This is practically like cheating!"

"Unbelievable! No wonder he's called the First Heaven's Pride after the Ye War God!"

Countless voices of discussion arose, filled with astonishment, admiration, and envy.

Ziyang Shen stood in the Void, his purple eyes sweeping across the direction of Zhutian Wanjie, feeling the increasingly heavy oppression and misfortune in the air, and let out a long, deep sigh.

His gaze turned toward the forbidden restricted area at the deepest part of the Wugui Space-Time Sea, and he murmured to himself:

"Brother Ye, have you truly fallen?"

"You are an All-Extreme Realm being... how could you really fall?"

"I still wanted to see you break the iron law of the Nine Extreme Realms and achieve the peerless bearing of the Absolute Peak..."

Even after several hundred years, even though everyone believed Ye Wuque was dead, Ziyang Shen still held onto a faint glimmer of hope in his heart.

But that Dead Silence restricted area had shown no movement for centuries.

Coupled with the ironclad evidence of the Soul Lamp being extinguished, he had no choice but to believe it.

Ziyang Shen took a deep breath, suppressing the regret and sorrow in his heart.

In his purple eyes, killing intent suddenly appeared.

"Brother Ye, rest assured."

"If I have the chance, the first thing I will do after ascending to the Absolute Peak is avenge you!"

As his words fell, his figure flickered and he flew toward the core area of the defense line.

The great tribulation was approaching; he needed to integrate into the defense line as quickly as possible and contribute his strength.

Besides Ziyang Shen, other Heavenly Prides also had their own fortuitous encounters and made rapid progress.

Xu Tianfeng of the Order Clan finally returned from the terrifying secret realm, Mie Xu Shen Yuan.

When he returned, his right hand held a stunningly beautiful woman, his brows gentle—she was none other than his Dao Companion, Mu Qiushui, whom he had revived by reversing the Order of Reincarnation at the cost of immense effort.

As for Xu Tianfeng himself, the Order Dao Rules swirling around his entire body were condensed into substance, clearly possessing a terrifying strength comparable to a Half-Step Transcendent!

Chains of Order flickered faintly around him, governing Order, judging life and death.

From now on, he had truly and rightfully become the new Lord of Order!

Ning Wushuang of the Taigu Ning Clan, this terrifying Six-Extreme Realm being, was equally brilliant and unparalleled, shaking the ages.

He was already gifted by nature, and with the guidance of the first-generation ancestor Ning Wu Jiu, plus the nourishment of the Space-Time Origin in the Wugui Space-Time Sea, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Young as he was, he already possessed the terrifying strength of a Half-Step Transcendent, shocking the Zhutian!

He and Miao Miao Xianzi had become a pair of immortal lovers admired by everyone in Zhutian Wanjie—a perfect match, both powerful, shaking the ages, overlooking eternity.

At this moment, they were also preparing for dual cultivation, blending Space Dao Rules with the Creation Force of the alchemy Dao to help each other's cultivation advance further.

Furthermore, Geshu Wenyue, Ao Huanggu, Jian Guchen, Tun Zhaogu, Bai Tian, Huang Fuyao, Ji Hongyu, and this entire group of peerless talents had all achieved extraordinary things, their cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds.

A galaxy of stars, shining brilliantly.

And among them, there was one unavoidable name that remained the focus of heated discussion among all the races of Zhutian.

That was Ye Wushuang of the Ye Clan!

This only son of Ye Wuque, born Supreme, yet he abandoned his cultivation and restarted from the Body Refining realm, forging ahead by breaking extremes.

Over hundreds of years, he has grown from the swaddled infant of that time into a handsome, spirited youth.

Clad in black‑gold battle armor, his face resembles Ye Wuque by about seventy percent, less domineering and more restrainedly sharp.

Today he has reached Dao Void Realm Peak cultivation, bearing the Eight Great Extremes, and is only one step away from the complete Ninth Extreme.

He once rode alone through more than thirty ruined worlds occupied by the Ominous, slashed Ominous Titans, commanding seventeen, and struck the Ominous Army so that it fled in terror.

The title "Peerless Young Master" has already spread throughout the endless regions of Zhutian Wanjie.

Everyone knows that given him time, his achievements will be unimaginable.

It may even surpass his father.

Yet, despite so many Top‑tier Monsters appearing, illuminating the universe and dispelling Darkness and despair.

But the countless beings of Zhutian Wanjie still always feel that something is still missing.

Naturally, what is missing are Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen, the two Eternal Peerless Demon Beasts!

One is a Body‑cultivating War God, sweeping everything aside, unbeatable in battle;

The other is a Sword Cultivator with the Heavenly Sword, a single slash renders all laws void.

In this glorious era of rising heroes, in this Dark Era when the great calamity approaches, they have already dimly fallen…

Leaving only endless regret and unwillingness.

This became an unfulfilled longing in the hearts of countless beings.

On the front line, old soldiers often gaze toward the restricted zone, murmuring.

"If they were still here, how wonderful that would be."

"Yes, if the War God were still here, he would surely lead the Heavenly Court, lead the countless beings of Zhutian Wanjie, to jointly resist the great calamity, to oppose the Ominous…"

"If the Heavenly Sword were still here, it would surely have become a new Sword Dao legend…"

"Alas, what a pity… is there still a Miracle…"

A gentle breeze brushed by, stirring up dust from the ground.

No one could answer that question.

Only in the distant Darkness, the Ominous aura grows ever denser.

…

Outside, the winds and clouds shift, yet within the Space‑time Interlayer remains a scene of Dao Rhythm tranquility.

On this day, Ye Wuque's surrounding aura suddenly surged without any sign.
