"Buzz!!"
On the Time-Space Divine Mirror, light began to converge, and then, a ray of light shot out from the mirror surface towards the heights, gradually transforming into a picture.
It seemed to be a wealthy family hosting a celebratory banquet. A refined and handsome young man was smiling as he held a baby. Around him, several young men in Confucian robes were looking at the baby with smiles.
The refined and handsome man did bear some resemblance to the Profound Heaven Saint Emperor, especially his mouth and nose.
"Hahaha, Brother Youren, congratulations on the birth of your son!"
"Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Youren is truly blessed!"
Faced with the congratulations from many friends, the Confucian scholar youth was also very happy, holding the baby and responding with a smile.
"Hahahaha, thank you, thank you, Brother Yan, you must also work hard, so you can be a companion for my Ming'er!"
"Oh? Brother Youren, has your nephew already been named?"
The young man surnamed Yan couldn't help but ask, looking rather curious. The youth called Youren nodded in response.
"Yes, this child did not cry or fuss at birth. It was only when the midwife took him away that he cried twice and then stopped. He is very sensible, and his eyes are clear and bright, so he will surely be a man of virtue in the future. Therefore, I named him Ming, Xuanming."
"Xuanming? A good name indeed. The things his father failed to achieve..."
"Brother Yan, I am delighted to have a son, and I specially invited you to attend the full moon banquet, but you came to poke at my wounds? If you don't drink a few more cups later, it won't be acceptable!"
"Haha, yes, Brother Yan, today is Brother Youren's joyous day, yet you are still rubbing salt in his wounds. You must drink a few more cups as an apology later."
"..."
In the picture, there was still a scene of joy, but everyone's attention was not focused on it.
"So, the Demon Emperor's name is Xuanming."
"Xuanming? Ming, a good name indeed, but it's a pity that it was wasted on his father's expectations."
After hearing this name, many people couldn't help but shake their heads. Ming, what a good meaning, but unfortunately, the Saint Emperor was headstrong, tyrannical, and ruthless, completely contrary to this name.
However, some people turned their attention to Yan QiongYu on the side. The appearance of the young man surnamed Yan just now was somewhat similar to that of this princess. Judging from his appearance, he should be Yan QiongYu's father.
Yan QiongYu looked at the scene in the picture, her expression somewhat dazed. She had long forgotten the things of her childhood, only vaguely remembering that her brother had always been with her when she was young.
"Could it be that this is the princess's father?"
"In other words, the Demon Emperor is not the princess's biological brother?"
Some experts raised such questions, and immediately, many experts echoed in agreement.
This was almost a doubt in everyone's mind. In fact, before this, almost no one knew that Princess Yan QiongYu was not the Profound Heaven Saint Emperor's biological sister, because the Saint Emperor's name had always been a mystery.
Moreover, at the beginning of the establishment of the Great Luo Heaven, the Profound Heaven Saint Emperor was extremely gracious to Princess Yan QiongYu. The magnificence of the princess's palace was built entirely according to the specifications of the Saint Empress Palace.
Therefore, many people subconsciously thought that Yan QiongYu was the Saint Emperor's biological sister. Even Yan QiongYu herself had thought so, although she knew that she and the Profound Heaven Saint Emperor did not share the same surname, but she just thought that her brother had deliberately changed his name.
It was not until this moment that Yan QiongYu realized that the brother she thought was her own was not her brother at all. In fact, there was no blood relationship between them at all.
But, since there was no relationship, why was her brother so good to her?
At this moment, a trace of confusion flashed in Yan QiongYu's eyes. Her brother had truly doted on her in every possible way, and the two of them had no blood relationship at all.
Even, there were rumors in the Great Luo Heaven back then that she was the Saint Empress or concubine that her brother had prepared for himself. As a result, her brother personally imprisoned her, and then issued an edict stating that there would be no Saint Empress. Within the Great Luo Heaven, apart from him, the eldest princess would be the most respected.
Back then, she was truly the apple of her brother's eye, worthy of being called a pearl in his palm, truly afraid of breaking if held in his hand, and afraid of melting if held in his mouth.
"No wonder the Demon Emperor was able to cruelly extract the special bloodline power from the eldest princess's body with his own hands. It turns out there was no blood relationship at all."
"Tsk tsk, this Demon Emperor is truly ruthless and unfeeling. Once someone poses a threat to him, even if they have been siblings for many years, he can still be so cruel."
But the next moment, the whispers coming from all around made Yan QiongYu's face turn cold, and the trace of affection in her heart was strangled clean again.
She wasn't angry that her brother had taken away her bloodline power. After all, she had been raised entirely by her brother since she was a child, so she considered it repayment for his upbringing.
What truly made Yan QiongYu unable to let go was her brother's ruthlessness. If he wanted to hit her, scold her, or even kill her, she wouldn't resent him. Her brother had suffered greatly for her back then. However, her brother had killed her closest and most respected master, and executed the man she loved the most!
It was precisely because of the death of her benefactor and beloved that Yan QiongYu was ultimately forced to betray the Great Luo Heaven, betraying the brother who had raised her. It was also Yan QiongYu's defection that left the entire Great Luo Heaven with no power to resist, and it was directly defeated and retreated steadily.
Even, most of the original Great Luo Heaven's experts directly defected to Yan QiongYu's command.
The Sea Race Empress walked to Yan QiongYu's side, reached out and took her hand, and softly comforted her.
"QiongYu, it's all over, you don't owe him anything anymore."
Yan QiongYu didn't speak, but just looked up towards the depths of the Profound Heaven Hall. Within the swirling clouds and mist, that once familiar face was now indistinguishable, and even in her memory, his appearance had begun to blur.
It seemed that they, as siblings, hadn't been quietly together for a very, very long time.
Time is truly a ruthless Sword, making them strangers to each other. He probably doesn't remember what he was like back then, right? Just like her, she has also begun to become unfamiliar.
However, soon, Yan QiongYu's face became strange, looking at the child in the picture who was constantly growing up, her mouth subconsciously opened wide.
Could this chattering, always asking questions, interested in everything, and especially kind child really be her brother, who was decisive in killing, ruthless and unfeeling, and always taciturn?
Not only Yan QiongYu, but everyone present, without exception, was stunned looking at the child in the picture.
"Kill, kill the Great Luo Heaven!"
"Kill into the Profound Heaven Hall!"
"Capture the Profound Heaven Saint Emperor alive!"
"Bah, what Saint Emperor, he's just a Demon Emperor!"
"That's right, the Demon Emperor has done many evil deeds in his life, slaughtering hundreds of millions of living beings, he deserves to be killed!"
"We should act on behalf of Heaven and exterminate the Profound Heaven Demon Emperor!"
Sky Spirit Continent, the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, especially in the central area of the Sky Spirit Continent, the Sky Realm Mountain's Sky City, also known as the Great Luo Heaven!
This place was once the most sacred place in the entire Sky Spirit Continent, a place that every cultivator dreamed of entering, because this was the supreme holy land created by the Profound Heaven Saint Emperor, the supreme powerhouse of the entire Sky Spirit Continent!
The Great Luo Heaven, known as acting on behalf of Heaven to punish and judge all living beings!
But now, the holy realm that was once filled with immortal energy and divine power is now being trampled by countless cultivators, and the door plaque personally carved by the Saint Emperor has been shattered.
Countless cultivators with murderous intent rushed to the Great Luo Heaven and into the Profound Heaven Hall. However, even though they had advanced triumphantly all the way, stormed the Great Luo Heaven, and entered the Profound Heaven Hall, these cultivators still did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Because the cold figure sitting high on the divine throne made everyone afraid to breathe.
Profound Heaven Saint Emperor, an supreme powerhouse who had dominated the entire Sky Spirit Continent for nearly ten thousand years, and to this day, no one has been able to reach his level. It is said that the Profound Heaven Saint Emperor has long been immortal and coexists with the heavens and earth.
Therefore, even when they had fought their way to the Profound Heaven Saint Emperor, this group of cultivators still did not dare to be careless in the slightest. Even though the majestic figure sitting high on the divine throne was now suppressed by the Extinction Formation of the Profound Heaven Hall.
This was the deterrent force of the continent's number one powerhouse. Even if he seemed to have completely lost his ability to resist, no one dared to easily challenge his authority.
Inside the Profound Heaven Hall, on the empty main hall, only at the divine throne sat a majestic figure in a cyan robe. A stern face was like it had been carved with knives and axes, and within the distinct lines, it revealed an unspeakable sense of oppression.
Divine might of a thousand layers!
Just looking at that indifferent face made countless cultivators afraid to even breathe loudly, let alone step into this sacred hall.
This was the Profound Heaven Saint Emperor! A ruthless man whose name alone could deter countless Great Saints.
"Young Hero Tang, what do we do now?"
"Young Hero Tang, why don't you lead us in together and join forces to completely obliterate the Demon Emperor!"
Outside the Profound Heaven Hall's gate, the gazes of two old men pierced through the hall, directly looking at the figure whose face was mostly obscured by clouds and mist high above. They only felt a chill rising from their tailbones, and they quickly turned their heads to the young man standing in the middle, seemingly the leader, and said.
The young man was named Tang Yi, a genius who had risen suddenly in recent years. He had been ordered to be hunted down by the Saint Emperor countless times, but not only did he not die, but under such pressure, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, all the way to the realm of Great Saint.
This time, the war against the heavens was launched under the leadership of Tang Yi.
Tang Yi slightly raised his head, looking up at the man in the hall with a hint of anger flashing in his heart.
"Hmph, just a prisoner, daring to make this Saint look up to him, he has already chosen the Way of Death!"
However, immediately after, Tang Yi turned his head to look at a delicate woman beside him, his tone changing as he said softly.
"However, for the sake of the princess, let him commit suicide, it can be considered to preserve the Saint Emperor's dignity."
Following Tang Yi's gaze, everyone also shifted their attention to the delicate woman, their eyes carrying a hint of awe.
Don't be fooled by this woman's delicate appearance, and the look of pity in her eyes at this moment, this woman's identity and background are not ordinary.
Yan QiongYu, known as the QiongYu Fairy, the Great Luo Heaven's eldest princess, the Profound Heaven Saint Emperor's younger sister. She was once a peerless beauty who took charge of the Great Luo Heaven on behalf of the Saint Emperor, and her strength had also reached the realm of Great Saint. It is said that she also possesses countless rare treasures collected by the Saint Emperor in the past.
It can be said that Tang Yi was able to lead his army all the way to the Great Luo Heaven thanks to this princess, the Profound Heaven Saint Emperor was truly betrayed and abandoned by his own people.
However, at this moment, Yan QiongYu's attention was entirely on the figure in front of her, and she did not notice what Tang Yi was saying at all.
"Brother, why, why did you do that back then?"
Her gaze pierced through layers of mist, Yan QiongYu tried to see if there was any regret on the face of the man sitting high on the divine throne. However, to Yan QiongYu's disappointment, she could only vaguely glimpse the face whose contours were blurred, and could not see his expression at all.
Yan QiongYu murmured softly, her eyes filled with tears, and her slightly red eyes carried a trace of complex hatred.
"Hmph, what else could it be for? He is an unscrupulous person, as long as there is profit, what can't he do? Now, if he could survive, do you believe that he would kneel down and beg for mercy?"
Suddenly, an icy voice came from the side, causing many powerful cultivators to feel a chill in their hearts, and they retreated a few steps, making way for the owner of the voice to come forward.
Tang Yi looked over upon hearing the voice, and a flash of amazement involuntarily flashed in his eyes. This was the Sea Race Empress, the Clan Leader of the Merfolk Race who controlled the Heart of the Ocean.
It was a pity for Tang Yi that he never had the opportunity to see the stunning beauty of this woman, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Sky Spirit Continent.
But the next moment, Tang Yi was stunned, only to see that the Sea Race Empress, who had walked to the gate of the Profound Heaven Hall, actually reached out and placed her hand on the silver mask on her face.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's breathing hitched. As the mask fell off, a stunningly beautiful face that could topple kingdoms and captivate all beings was slowly revealed in front of everyone.
Beautiful! Utterly beautiful! A beauty that needs no other adjectives!
Softness, charm, allure, delicacy, none of these are needed; it is simply the ultimate beauty. Even the equally stunning Yan QiongYu seems to pale slightly in comparison to this Sea Race Empress.
However, compared to the amazement brought by her face, the Sea Race Empress's words in the next moment filled everyone with terror.
"Husband, it's been nearly ten thousand years. How have you been?"
Her tone carried a hint of melancholy, yet also a sense of relief. Nearly ten thousand years, she had waited for nearly ten thousand years! The deep blood feud of her entire race had caused her pain day and night, tormenting her endlessly. Now, was it finally coming to an end?
For a moment, the Sea Race Empress's mood was unprecedentedly complex. Even though her great revenge was about to be fulfilled, her heart felt somewhat empty.
Everyone else stared at the Sea Race Empress in shock, while Tang Yi's face was extremely unsightly. He had been coveting this Sea Race Empress for a long time, but it turned out that she was the Saint Emperor's wife?
