Chapter 1701 The Spirit Race in the Primordial Era
truly……
I'm all alone!
The Demon Emperor and Song Yu looked at each other, both of them sensing a profound sense of loneliness emanating from this.
Even more unexpectedly, the Evil Emperor's past life had such an experience; it was all just a difference in ideology.
Then we must completely wipe out the other branch!
Even gods can be utterly heartless.
Upon hearing this, the two were momentarily at a loss for words.
"Senior Evil Emperor, are they still in this center of the universe?"
Song Yu asked, a hint of curiosity in his heart. If possible, he would naturally be willing to become the Evil Emperor and find his clansmen!
After all, finding one is like having more helpers.
"I don't know. Billions of years have passed. In all this endless time, I have no idea where they are now!"
The Evil Emperor sighed deeply, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
"Evil Emperor, it's alright. They will find it when the time is right. Or rather, if you're willing to make a commotion, I believe they will definitely find it if they are still alive!" The Demon Emperor also said at the right moment.
"Well, that makes sense!"
The Evil Emperor nodded with a bitter smile. Although even he didn't hold out much hope, he hoped even more that the Evil Clan could escape the center of the universe, because only in this way could they better avoid persecution.
"Senior Evil Emperor, I'm suddenly curious, what exactly is the relationship between those ancient spirit races who were active earlier and the spirit race at the center of this universe? Or are they completely unrelated?"
Suddenly, Song Yu became curious and couldn't help but ask.
You mean them?
The Evil Emperor paused slightly, a bitter feeling rising in his heart, but he still slowly said, "Of course, there is a certain connection! The runes of my ancient Spirit Clan actually evolved from the Spirit Clan! However, at that time, I had no memory of my previous life as the Evil God!"
"And these ancient spirit race runes were naturally created by me!"
Straightening his body slightly, the Evil Emperor continued, "Within their bodies lies a portion of the Spirit Race's bloodline! Although I don't know which branch, it is undeniable, even if it is now extremely diluted!"
"Could they be members of the Xie clan? After all... they also share the surname Xie!"
Song Yu made a bold guess.
"will not!"
However, the Evil Emperor waved his hand and dismissed Song Yu's guess without hesitation!
"Why do you say that?"
Song Yu frowned slightly, looking at the Evil Emperor with curiosity.
The Evil Emperor smiled and said calmly, "Because I did not see the source in their bloodline!"
"And that progenitor with diluted bloodline seems... not to be a member of my Spirit Clan!"
"If you are not a member of the Spirit Clan, then why do you possess the bloodline of the Spirit Clan?"
With that explanation, Song Yu and the Demon Emperor were completely misled.
"I don't know either, and there are no records of it within the clan!" The Evil Emperor smiled bitterly, feeling utterly helpless.
"Enough, let's not talk about this anymore! You can stay here for the time being; the ancient spirits won't be able to find you!"
"Wait until ten thousand years later, when your cultivation has recovered somewhat, before you go out!"
As soon as the Evil Emperor finished speaking, a very faint humming sound suddenly came from the dome of the Evil God Palace, as if there was a flow of air quietly surging in the void!
Song Yu looked up and saw that the star crystals inlaid on the ceiling of the palace were flashing, with fine blue lines spreading along the edges of the crystals, covering most of the dome like a spider web.
"This is……"
The Demon Emperor's grip on the Blood Demon Spear tightened slightly, causing the spear's blood-red aura to fluctuate. "The formation of the Evil God Temple?"
The Evil Emperor frowned slightly, and a wisp of azure light condensed at his fingertip. He pointed it from a distance, and the moment the azure light collided with the patterns on the dome, countless tiny specks of light scattered from the patterns, falling slowly like stardust.
"It's not an external enemy, it's an anomaly in the spiritual veins within the palace."
The Evil Emperor said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over Song Yu and the Demon Emperor, "This Evil God Palace was built at the source of the ancient spiritual vein, and can sense the fluctuations of the aura related to the Spirit Race in the world... The anomaly just now seems to be related to the bloodline of the Spirit Race."
A thought struck Song Yu, and the Samsara Immortal Sword trembled slightly in his palm. As the Dao patterns on the sword flowed, they resonated faintly with the light spots falling from the dome.
"Senior, could it be... a member of the Xie clan?"
“Billions of years have passed, and even the bloodline of the Xie clan has long been diluted to the extreme, making it impossible to trigger such a strong spiritual vein resonance.” The Xie Emperor shook his head, and in a flash, he appeared at the palace gate, his blue robes fluttering in the air. “Follow me.”
Song Yu and the Demon Emperor exchanged a glance, and then Song Yu immediately followed closely behind!
The Evil Emperor continued his journey, passing through layers of palaces, and finally stopped in front of a hidden stone chamber in the back mountain of the Evil God Temple.
The entrance to the stone chamber was sealed with thick spirit crystals, and its surface was engraved with ancient spirit race runes. A faint blue light lingered on the runes, which was the protective restriction set up by the Evil Emperor back then.
"This is where I stored the tokens of the Xie clan back then."
The Evil Emperor raised his hand and placed it on the spirit crystal seal. A blue light surged into his palm, and the runes lit up. "When I fled back then, I hid the Evil Clan's ancestral tablet and some of the clan's books here. I thought they would be sealed away forever, but I didn't expect there to be any unusual activity today."
boom! !
The spirit crystal seal shattered instantly, and the stone chamber door slowly opened, releasing an ancient and pure spiritual energy mixed with a faint trace of bloodline aura.
Song Yu felt a sudden jolt in his soul, and the lingering pain dissipated considerably. The resonance of the Reincarnation Immortal Sword grew stronger, and several patterns similar to the runes in the stone chamber appeared on the sword.
The stone chamber was not large. In the center stood a jade platform about half a person's height. Floating on the jade platform was a palm-sized cyan token. The token was surrounded by a faint mist. It was the Xie Clan Ancestral Token.
At this moment, the patterns on the ancestral tablet were flashing intensely, and beams of cyan light shot out from the tablet, weaving together into a blurry image on the ceiling of the stone chamber.
"This is... the ancient, desolate forest of the western part of the world?"
The Demon Emperor stared at the towering ancient tree in the image, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "I had previously heard that it was a battlefield remnant from ancient times, filled with chaotic miasma, and even ordinary gods dared not venture deep into it."
As Song Yu stared at the image, the Samsara Immortal Sword suddenly flew out on its own, its tip pointing towards a valley shrouded in miasma in the image. The Dao patterns on the sword body echoed the beam of light from the ancestral tablet, actually dispelling some of the miasma in the valley.
Through the thin miasma, a cluster of dilapidated buildings could be vaguely seen deep in the valley. A black flag fluttered atop the buildings, with a twisted character for "evil" embroidered on it.
"It's the clan flag of the Xie clan!"
The Evil Emperor's voice trembled slightly, and the azure light in his palm grew even stronger. "The ancestral tablet is guiding us. I never expected to find the aura of the Evil Clan there!"
Just then, the ancestral tablet suddenly trembled violently, and the miasma in the image suddenly surged. The black flag was instantly swallowed by the miasma and replaced by a dazzling golden light!
Amidst the light, a figure clad in a golden robe slowly emerged, his face indistinct, yet exuding an aura of dominance identical to that of an ancient spirit god.
"Evil Emperor, how have you been?"
The voice of the golden-robed figure came through the ancestral tablet image, carrying a cold mockery, "I didn't expect you, this traitor, to still be alive, and I didn't expect you to still be searching for those wretched remnants of the evil clan."
"It's his clone!" The Evil Emperor's pupils shrank, and the Reincarnation Immortal Sword erupted with black and white light. "A golden ancient spirit god! How could he appear in the vast ancient forest?"
The Evil Emperor's expression darkened, and the green light at his fingertips transformed into a sharp blade, slashing fiercely at the ancestral tablet image.
"Something's not right. This isn't a clone; it's a projection of the mark of a spirit god!" The stone chamber shook violently the moment the azure light collided with the golden light. "He must have sensed the unusual movement of the Evil Clan's ancestral tablet and wanted to find the Evil Clan members ahead of time!"
The golden-robed figure in the image chuckled, the golden light growing even brighter: "The remnants of the Evil Clan have been hiding for billions of years, it's time for them to be dealt with. Evil Emperor, if you know what's good for you, surrender with those two little ones, and perhaps I can spare a wisp of your soul so you can witness the Spirit Clan regain its former glory."
"wishful thinking!"
Evil Emperor: "You slaughtered the Evil Clan back then, and today I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!"
"Just you?"
The golden-robed figure scoffed disdainfully, and a golden mark flew out from within the golden light—the sixth mark of the ancient spirit god. "This sixth mark is enough to send you on your way!"
The golden mark suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the stone chamber was instantly enveloped in golden light. Song Yu and the Demon Emperor felt a terrifying pressure coming down on them, and their souls, which had just recovered a little, trembled violently again.
Upon seeing this, the Evil Emperor grabbed the Evil Clan Ancestral Token without hesitation. His body shone with a burst of azure light, transforming into a massive azure light screen that blocked the two of them.
boom!
The golden mark collided with the cyan light curtain, and a violent explosion resounded throughout the entire back mountain, causing rocks to crumble and spiritual energy to become disordered!
Song Yu was thrown back by the shockwave, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. The Reincarnation Immortal Sword automatically protected its master, transforming into a black and white light shield that blocked the flying debris. The Demon Emperor, on the other hand, activated the Origin of Ten Thousand Demons, wielding the Blood Demon Spear to create a blood-red barrier, barely managing to stabilize himself.
The moment the light barrier shattered, the Evil Emperor groaned, and blue blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.
"Come on!"
He grabbed Song Yu and the Demon Emperor, shoving the Evil Clan Ancestral Token into Song Yu's hand. "This ancestral token can guide you to the Evil Clan members. Make sure you get to the Ancient Forest before him! I'll hold him off here!"
"Senior!" Song Yu wanted to say something, but the Evil Emperor suddenly pushed him into a spatial rift that appeared out of nowhere.
"Remember, the Xie clan may still possess secret treasures that can repair the soul and divine essence. Only by finding them can you truly restore your strength!"
The Evil Emperor's voice came from outside the crack, carrying a hint of determination, "You must never act impulsively again!"
The instant the spatial rift closed, Song Yu vaguely saw the Evil Emperor's body blaze with a surge of azure light, transforming into a massive azure spiritual shadow that collided with the golden mark once more.
