Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 687 - 681: Ancient Saint Yun Feng

"Trash, to think he was killed by a mere human boy."

Seeing Hei Sha dead, one of the Alien Clan powerhouses also furrowed his brow, not out of pity, but because with Hei Sha gone, Ye Xuan was undoubtedly a nuisance.

"Don’t get distracted, first destroy the Earth Emperor Book, then we can slowly deal with this lad."

Gu Xuan could tell that after launching that previous attack, Ye Xuan was already at the end of his rope, with hardly any capability left to attack them again.

"Understood!"

The remaining five Alien Clan experts all nodded their heads, at this moment the Yellow Spring Holy Water they were manipulating was indeed able to steadily suppress the Earth Emperor Book. At this rate, they would eventually be able to slowly defile the Holy Artifact.

"What do we do now?"

Killing Hei Sha did not bring relief to Ye Xuan; as Gu Xuan had mentioned, this place was suppressing three Ancient Alien Saints. If they were to destroy the Earth Emperor Book and release those three, their fate would still be the same.

"What can we do? That attack just now was already my full strength. Whose fault is it that your cultivation is so weak, only able to absorb this little bit of True Yuan?" the Human Emperor’s Scepter said languidly.

"Then we can only give it a desperate try."

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, even though he knew he was outmatched, he could not just sit and wait for death. He had to stop these people no matter what.

"Hold on, there’s something happening with the Earth Emperor Book."

Just as Ye Xuan was about to make a move, a sudden change occured on the Earth Emperor Book.

Streams of vague light began to flow out of the Earth Emperor Book and slowly congealed into a human figure.

The light of this human figure slowly solidified, and the awe-inspiring pressure emanating from it was quite astonishing.

"Is this the Artifact Spirit of the Earth Emperor Book?"

Ye Xuan was stunned, the fluctuations emanating from this figure were not weaker than a Middle Rank Saint.

"No, that’s likely a remnant will of the Earth Emperor Book’s previous owner."

"Previous owner?"

Ye Xuan looked slightly astonished, "Isn’t the owner of the Earth Emperor Book the Earth Emperor himself?"

"That’s correct, but the one who sealed this region with the Earth Emperor Book was not the Earth Emperor himself. Just like you, aren’t you the new owner of the Human Emperor’s Scepter right now?"

"So, there’s still a chance."

Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up slightly, it seemed there might still be a turning point after all.

Hiss, hiss!

After the figure appeared, the black fog began to be dispersed again, and the five people who were casting spells suffered varying degrees of backlash and were sent flying backward.

"Damn it, how could such a thing happen."

Gu Xuan spat out a mouthful of black blood, their painstakingly constructed array had completely collapsed, and the actual body of the Earth Emperor Book suddenly took flight.

"Great opportunity, go get the Earth Emperor Book now," the Human Emperor’s Scepter shouted with excitement.

"Now?"

Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, but then without any hesitation, his figure moved and he rushed toward the location of the altar.

"You’re courting death, kid!"

Upon seeing Ye Xuan take action, Gu Xuan was also taken aback; however, Ye Xuan paid no heed to his furious shout. Under Ye Xuan’s command, the Earth Emperor Book actually flew into his hands of its own accord.

"Finish him!"

Gu Xuan’s eyes darkened. He had intended to destroy the Earth Emperor Book first and then deal with Ye Xuan, but he could no longer tolerate Ye Xuan’s erratic behavior. Only by killing this youngster could he then settle the Earth Emperor Book once and for all.

Facing the joint assault of six Alien Clan experts, coupled with Gu Xuan being a Third Grade Martial Saint himself, significantly stronger than Hei Sha by not just one star, the pressure on Ye Xuan instantly spiked. The space around him fractured, and a tremendous offensive bore down upon him.

Ye Xuan was about to draw his sword to defend himself when from the Earth Emperor Book, a protective glow emerged on its own accord, enveloping Ye Xuan within it.

Bang!

The attack struck the glowing barrier, emitting a deafening noise. Six onslaughts faded into nothingness; however, the barrier was also shattered. At that moment, a vortex appeared on the altar, swallowing Ye Xuan’s body whole.

"Destroy the altar for me!"

Gu Xuan hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to disrupt their plans, but they still needed to start with the Earth Emperor Book if they wanted to free the sealed Three Ancient Saints. If they could destroy the Array here, they arguably would be able to rescue the people successfully.

At this moment, inside the altar, Ye Xuan could clearly hear the sounds of Gu Xuan and the others attacking the altar from outside. Yet, their efforts only caused the altar to tremble slightly, and its light to dim a bit.

"It looks like they won’t be able to break in anytime soon."

Within the altar, Ye Xuan wasn’t afraid of Gu Xuan and the others’ attacks. Since the altar could withstand an assault once, it would certainly endure a second and third time.

"Young man, this altar won’t hold for long; sooner or later, it will be breached."

Just as this thought crossed Ye Xuan’s mind, a strange voice suddenly echoed in his ear.

"Who?"

Ye Xuan was taken aback—this was not the Human Emperor’s Scepter’s voice. He glanced at the Earth Emperor Book in his hand. The sound seemed to have come from inside the book.

"I am the third possessor of the Earth Emperor Book."

As Ye Xuan’s gaze fell onto the Earth Emperor Book, the book flew out of his hand, opened its pages, and a light shadow coalesced from it—a handsome middle-aged man appeared, his temples tinged with grey. Even as a mere wisp of remnant thought, the aura he emitted was not to be underestimated.

"People call me Ancient Saint Yun Feng."

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xuan and introduced himself.

"So, it’s Senior Yun Feng."

Ye Xuan quickly clasped his hands in greeting; the man before him must be from the Middle Ages at least, and it seemed that it was not the Earth Emperor who had sealed the Three Ancient Alien Saints, but this Yun Feng.

"You need not address me as senior. You are the possessor of the Human Emperor’s Scepter; you’re destined for greatness," the middle-aged man waved his hand before continuing, "Now, by a fortunate twist of fate, you have appeared here, holding an incomplete page of the Earth Emperor Book which shows your connection to it."

"When I first acquired the Earth Emperor Book, I was also a nobody, but later, there were few in the Spirit Martial World who could surpass me."

"The Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts do not choose their owners lightly. Without great destiny and exceptional talent, one cannot possibly wield them."

"Perhaps I’m just very lucky."

Ye Xuan smiled lightly. With items like the Human Emperor’s Scepter and Earth Emperor Book, indeed, they would seek out suitable owners on their own. Those recognized by them were definitely not ordinary and had to have top-notch qualifications and temperament.

"Coming here, whether it’s good luck or bad, is debatable."

The middle-aged man’s expression turned solemn. "Surely you know, there are Three Ancient Alien Saints sealed beneath this place. If you’ve come here, it’s your duty to resolve this issue."

"Resolve it?"

Ye Xuan’s pupils narrowed. Considering these were Three Ancient Alien Saints, how could he possibly face them? Even a living Ancient Saint Yun Feng might not have a way—otherwise, he would have eliminated these three, not just sealed them away.

If he couldn’t do it, then how could Ye Xuan possibly succeed?
