Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 71
Chapter 71: Soul Snatching
That figure had just appeared, and Ye Yu instantly felt an immense pressure.
It felt just like when he met Ye Zhentian as a child.
That figure was wearing a purple-gold dragon robe, and every part of his body exuded majesty, as if he were the master of this world.
“My name is Cang, little guy, I have been waiting for you for a long time. ” Cang looked at Ye Yu, his eyes filled with kindness and expectation.
“Waiting for me? ” Ye Yu frowned, his spiritual energy running at its peak.
“Yes, I have been here for an unknown amount of time, waiting for someone who can inherit my mantle. Young friend, come, accept my Legacy. ” After Cang finished speaking, the Dragon Shadow behind him opened its mouth and spat out a purple-gold Dragon Pearl.
On the Dragon Pearl, spiritual energy flowed, and terrifying fluctuations emanated.
Looking at the Dragon Pearl, Ye Yu felt an irresistible urge to go forward, but he ultimately restrained himself.
Seeing Ye Yu standing still, Cang seemed a little anxious and hurriedly said: “What’s wrong, young friend? This Dragon Pearl is the culmination of my life’s work. As long as you obtain it, power, cultivation Base, cultivation Technique, Spiritual Technique—everything will be no problem. What are you hesitating for? ”
Ye Yu looked up at Cang, who was somewhat anxious, and shook his head after a long while.
As a member of the Imperial Family, Ye Yu knew how much the Imperial Family valued the Legacy of their Bloodline.
Simply put, if an Empire’s overlord dies without Descendants, they would rather destroy everything than let an Outsider benefit.
“Young friend, do you look down on my Legacy? ” Cang’s face turned ugly, and he said coldly, at the same time, a terrifying Pressure swept over.
Ye Yu’s face changed, his body trembled uncontrollably, but he grinned and said, “You can’t get out, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be wasting so much time talking to me. ”
Hearing this, Cang’s eyes turned extremely cold, and the Dragon Shadow behind him disappeared at this moment, replaced by boundless darkness.
“Demon Race?!” Looking at the boundless darkness and the instinctive disgust that arose in his body, Ye Yu took a deep breath and said solemnly.
“You have good eyesight! ” A trace of surprise flashed across Cang’s face. “I am Cang Di of the Dark Demon Race! Get me out, and I will grant you anything! ”
Cang Di! Anyone who can be called Emperor must at least be a Void Refinement Stage great devil!
“Forget it, I’m afraid that once I get you out, you’ll be the first to kill me. ” Ye Yu said, then stepped back a few steps.
“Unwilling, then stay! Since this place has been discovered, I don’t mind waiting another thousand years! ” As Cang’s voice fell, the entire Imperial Mausoleum trembled.
Beams of black light gushed out from the Underground.
At the same time, purple-gold light burst out from those coffins, turning into Chains, attempting to lock the black light.
But the black light seemed to have been accumulating for a long time, and the purple-gold Chains would be shattered as soon as they touched it.
Seeing this, Ye Yu’s face changed drastically. He picked up the Zi Xiao Sword in his hand and slashed out directly, “Sky Cleaving Sword Technique, Part the Sea! ”
More than a hundred-zhang of Sword Qi condensed in an instant, turning into a Bloody Light and bursting out.
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded, Ye Yu felt a tightness in his chest, a surge of sweetness welled up, but he swallowed it down.
With just one move, Ye Yu almost lost his composure.
The black light had been weakened by the Chains. If he had faced it directly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Seeing this, Ye Yu no longer hesitated, and the Primordial Invincible Scripture circulated again, and the black light that enveloped him immediately slowed down.
Seeing this scene, a burst of excited light suddenly erupted on Cang’s face, and he laughed wildly: “Chaos, Chaos, this is the power of Chaos! Boy, I’ve decided I want your body! ”
As soon as the words fell, the speed at which the surrounding Chains were breaking increased, and the black light, which had slowed down, returned with a vengeance at this moment, and was even faster than before.
In the blink of an eye, it swallowed Ye Yu.
Ye Yu only felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his body was already confined, Cang had somehow come before Ye Yu, and pointed a finger at Ye Yu’s forehead.
A piercing chill swept through his body, and Cang’s figure gradually became transparent.
Ye Yu felt a Power seeping into his body.
The Chaos Nascent Soul in his Dantian seemed to sense something, and actually formed a Hand Seal on its own; the light of Chaos erupted, forcing back the encroaching darkness.
But because the difference in strength was too great, soon, the light of Chaos was forced back, and many memories inexplicably appeared in Ye Yu’s mind, and his consciousness was gradually fading.
“Ah! ” Ye Yu screamed in pain, using the last of his clarity to activate his Nascent Soul to summon the Xuantian Cauldron.
“What’s this! ” Suddenly, a terrified voice rang out in Ye Yu’s mind, and the pain of his soul being torn apart gradually subsided.
The next moment, a Green Light erupted from within his Dantian. The Xuantian Cauldron, which had been silent for so long, trembled slightly at this moment, and the long-closed cauldron lid slowly opened.
The vast starry sky was imprinted in Ye Yu’s eyes once again.
However, unlike before, a figure was clearly visible in the starry sky within the cauldron at this moment. The figure slowly opened its eyes, and then reached out a hand.
“No! ” Emperor Cang’s terrified roar came out, and the black light enveloping Ye Yu receded like a tide at this moment, obviously trying to escape.
But at this moment, the Xuantian Cauldron emitted a terrifying suction force, swallowing all the deep black light.
Emperor Cang’s desperate roar stopped at this moment.
Then, the cauldron lid slowly closed. After absorbing Emperor Cang’s Power, the figure inside the Xuantian Cauldron seemed to have moved a little closer to the mouth of the cauldron.
Ye Yu took one look, and his whole body was struck by lightning, instantly stiffening in place, because the figure inside the cauldron had a face exactly like his own.
Bang!
A muffled sound came out, the cauldron lid was closed, and everything around disappeared, as if nothing had happened just now.
Ye Yu sat on the ground of the Imperial Mausoleum, pale, gasping for breath.
Why? Why did he appear inside the cauldron?
Before Ye Yu could think it over, another change occurred in the Imperial Mausoleum, the purple-gold Dragon Shadow reappeared, and a figure identical to Emperor Cang appeared.
“Have I finally escaped the Suppression? Thank you, young friend. ” The figure glanced around, let out a sigh of relief, and said.
Ye Yu looked at the person in front of him, but a name appeared in his mind, and he tentatively said, “Ji Zhan Tian? ”
Ji Zhan Tian did not show any surprise at Ye Yu knowing his name. Although he had been suppressed, it did not mean that he was unaware of the outside world. He had seen everything that had just happened.
“It seems that Cang Mo’s body snatching failed, but the memories remained. For you, young friend, this is a good thing. ”
Ye Yu looked at Ji Zhan Tian with some confusion.
As if seeing Ye Yu’s confusion, Ji Zhan Tian said, “Although that Cang Mo is of the Demon Race, he is also a Peak Void Refinement great devil. The path of cultivation has many different routes, but they all lead to the same destination. This will allow you, young friend, to save yourself a lot of detours. ”
“Thank you for saving me, young friend. Please accept this small gift. ”
