My beloved disciple Yun Yun was forced to marry? I am the Return of the Killing God!

Yunyi slowly rose to his feet, a cyan-gold aura swirling around him, radiating a chilling pressure.

At this moment, Yunyi looked at the new strange fire floating in front of him. After it devoured the Nine Nether Wind Flame, a faint black gale appeared at the edge of the black vortex.

As he gazed at the new strange fire formed by the mutual devouring of these three strange fires, a name suddenly popped into Yunyi's mind.

Devour the Netherflame!

"That's right, this new strange fire is called the Devouring Nether Flame."

Yunyi muttered to himself, then nodded in satisfaction.

He clenched his fist slightly, and a soft crackling sound came from his knuckles; his pure power seemed capable of crushing space itself.

At this moment, Feng Qingwan flew over, her eyes filled with excitement and joy.

"Brother Yi! You did it!"

Yunyi nodded slightly, a cold and confident smile curving his lips.

"Qingwan, let's go. This final step is to meet this cunning ally!"

.........

ancient world.

The endless mountain ranges resemble a sleeping dragon, exuding the heavy, oppressive aura accumulated over the years.

Space silently split open atop the tallest of peaks, and Yunyi and Feng Qingwan stepped out from within.

As soon as it appeared, an invisible, vast pressure descended, carrying scrutiny and a profound majesty.

"Haha, young friend Yunyi! Miss Qingwan! Your presence is an honor to our humble abode in the Ancient Realm!"

A hearty laugh, brimming with boundless power, shattered the invisible pressure.

The space ahead rippled slightly, and Gu Yuan's figure appeared.

He was dressed in an elegant white robe, with a refined face, deep eyes, and a gentle smile, like an old friend reunited after a long separation.

Behind him, several Dou Sheng-level elders with auras as deep as abyss silently appeared.

Their gazes, filled with astonishment and a hint of barely concealed apprehension, all focused on Yunyi.

His formidable reputation for slaying the Soul Emperor has long since transformed into an invisible hammer, enough to shake the entire continent.

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan."

Yunyi remained calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, merely nodding slightly. Feng Qingwan also returned the gesture with a graceful bow.

"No need for formalities!"

Gu Yuan smiled warmly, his gaze sweeping over Yun Yi, a fleeting hint of seriousness flashing deep in his eyes.

Several months ago, in the final battle between Soul Emperor and Yunyi, Yunyi's combat power subtly suppressed Soul Emperor.

Now that they meet again, he senses that the young man in front of him has made further progress, which makes him feel a little uneasy.

"Young friend, your slaying of the Soul Emperor is a great achievement, and it has also eliminated a major threat to our ancient clan. I was just looking for an opportunity to celebrate with you properly."

Gu Yuan's words were enthusiastic, yet carried an invisible sense of alienation and probing.

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan is too kind. The Soul Emperor brought about his own destruction. Yun Yi was merely following the trend and delivering the final blow."

Yunyi met Gu Yuan's deep eyes with calm gaze and said indifferently.

"What a brilliant move to go with the flow!"

Gu Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, the smile still on his face, but then suddenly changed the subject.

"Young friend, your personal visit to the Ancient Realm must be... for that piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?"

His smile seemed to grow even wider, but there was no warmth left in his eyes.

As his words fell, the surrounding space seemed to freeze instantly, and even the flowing energy of heaven and earth stopped.

The auras of several ancient clan elders suddenly froze, like a fully drawn bowstring. "Indeed."

Yunyi's answer was concise and to the point, without any hesitation.

He met Gu Yuan's suddenly oppressive gaze, his eyes so clear they seemed capable of tearing away all pretense.

"The three jades of the Soul Emperor have been acquired by me, and the ancient jades of the Xiao, Lei, Yan, and Yao clans have also all come into my possession."

Yunyi paused slightly before continuing.

"Now, only the last key held by the nobles is missing. Only when all eight jades are gathered can the ancient emperor's cave be opened and the supreme true face of the emperor's realm be glimpsed."

"Seven jades in hand?!"

Even though the ancient Yuan Cave was as deep as an abyss, his eyes suddenly flashed with an unconcealable look of shock.

The elders behind him gasped in shock, their eyes filled with horror and disbelief as they looked at Yunyi.

Seven pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade! This means that the young man before him is almost on the threshold of unlocking the mystery of the ancient emperor's cave.

This news struck like a thunderbolt from the heavens, shattering the carefully maintained calm that Gu Yuan had been striving for.

The refined and composed smile on Gu Yuan's face became visibly stiff.

A terrifying pressure, far greater than before, descended without reservation, locking onto Yunyi.

This is not a test; it is the full pressure exerted by a peerless powerhouse at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, standing at the pinnacle of the world, driven by shock and resentment.

He needed to thoroughly assess how much power this young man, who had killed the Soul Emperor, who was at the same peak as him, still had left after that great battle.

The sheer power of Gu Yuan's aura caused Feng Qingwan, who was standing behind Yun Yi, to turn slightly pale, and even the flow of her internal fighting spirit felt somewhat stagnant.

The three immortals of the ancient clan, along with other elders who were also Dou Sheng, felt their breath catch in their throats.

However, Yunyi, who was at the center of this oppressive storm, remained completely still.

Even more so, a faint, yet absolutely controlling smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Nine Nether Wind Flame Battle Qi and the Nine Profound Golden Thunder Battle Qi roared out from his body. The two supreme forces, wind and thunder, collided and instantly formed an invisible absolute domain around him!

"Hey!"

The terrifying pressure released by Gu Yuan at full power, enough to imprison a nine-star Dou Sheng in the early stage, was actually torn apart by the wind and thunder Dou Qi within Yun Yi's body!
Now that the wind and thunder attributes within his body have been balanced, his power has reached an unprecedented level.

This is definitely not as simple as one plus one!

The wind blades are invisible, cutting through the invisible pressure.

Golden lightning flashed, shattering the stagnation in the space.

Moreover, the Devouring Nether Flame was quietly circulating within his body, directly shattering and devouring those pressures…

He looked at Gu Yuan calmly, his eyes showing no emotion, as if the overwhelming pressure was just a breeze to him.

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan, now that I possess the Seven Jade Jewels, I am the only one capable of gathering all eight jade jewels and opening the Emperor's Gate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yunyi took a step forward, and the entire ancient realm trembled violently.

"boom!"

It wasn't the oppressive force of heaven and earth, but a roar of pure power shaking the very fabric of space!
"You cannot keep this jade!"

Yunyi's gaze was sharp, staring directly into the hidden greed and scheming deep in Gu Yuan's eyes.

"To force you to stay is to break with my Cloud Wings, and to make your ancient clan a stumbling block on my path to becoming an emperor."

The decisiveness in his words was like a biting winter wind, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet. The force of wind and thunder gathered behind him, forming an invisible storm vortex.

A slight trace of the Devouring Netherflame aura hidden within his body leaked out, and the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) seemed to be devoured and purified.

"Those who block my path will face a price your ancient clan cannot afford!" (End of Chapter)
