"My lord, should we eliminate the Heavenly Divine Lord?"

Bu Suanzi looked at Tian Gang, who was about to fly into the Divine Tower, and asked.

"No need, we'll need their help in our future plans, let's keep them for now."

The Heavenly Emperor lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

...

...

Outside the secret passage, upon seeing Ye Hao's flying artifact, Ye Tian reached out and grabbed it. Without further explanation, he flew directly towards the desolate dojo at full speed.

"Father, what exactly is going on?" Ye Hao had many questions.

"Do you remember when Ye Ling was pregnant, I told you all to stay in the family and not go out?" Ye Tianzheng continued at a rapid pace.

"Hmm, what does this have to do with this?"

"Thirty years ago, the Heavenly Emperor had just ascended the throne and wanted to build a divine tower on the Heavenly Spirit Continent to demonstrate his supreme status. However, he couldn't find a suitable location until ten years ago, when it was said that the Heavenly Emperor opened the Heavenly Secrets Box passed down through the Heavenly Family and obtained a prophecy inside. The content of the prophecy is as follows."

"The Heavenly Spirit is in peril. Born beneath the Heavenly Dragon and True Phoenix, amidst the descending radiance, it slays the heavens and murders the emperor, leaving blood flowing for thousands of miles, with no one surviving."

"In the heart of the land, where emperors dwell, palaces are built beyond the clouds, where heavenly secrets can be obtained and all evils eradicated."

“During the days when Ye Ling was pregnant, I felt a tightness in my chest and my brows kept twitching. I couldn’t help but think of the prophecy from that time, so I told you not to go out. Who knew it would actually come true,” Ye Tianzheng recalled.

"What? How can my child's life be ruined because of a prophecy? It's utterly absurd!" Ye Hao was furious, and Lu Yeling, holding the child beside him, was also extremely angry.

"Father, what do we do now? Is going to that Broken Land really the only option?" Ye Hao asked after learning about what had happened between Ye Tianzheng and Tian Gang.

"Given the current situation, this is the only way. Let's hurry and leave before the fortune teller performs his divination. I just hope things go smoothly," Ye Tian said, looking at the desolate dojo that was faintly visible in front of him with some worry.

...

"Hiss hiss hiss," the sky was filled with thunder and lightning, devoid of any life, and a dangerous aura permeated the surroundings. Broken holes frequently appeared, making it extremely terrifying.

"Stay close to me. This is some ancient shrine, extremely dangerous. Don't go the wrong way," Ye Tianzheng turned back and warned.

Decades ago, he and dozens of friends, including Tian Gang, explored this place together, but in the end, only the two of them found this path and came out alive.

Before long, we reached the end.

"Is this the broken void?" Lu Yeling sighed. Before him was a broken space with a diameter of thirty meters. Although it was broken, there was no lightning or danger. Instead, bursts of life force emanated from it.

"Are you ready to go? Most of the magical artifacts in the passage will malfunction. Be careful not to stray too far from me, lest you be teleported to a different world. That would be troublesome," Ye Tianzheng said with a somewhat grave expression.

"Um"

Ye Hao tied the child to his chest, wrapped one arm around his chest, and held the hand of the woman beside him tightly with the other, signaling her not to panic.

"Walk"

The passageway presented a completely different scene, far less peaceful than what was seen from the outside. Thunder flashed intermittently, strong winds blew, and flying stones would occasionally fly through the air.

The group also focused their attention, remaining vigilant at all times to avoid being hit.

Ye Tianzheng and Ye Hao also created a shield to block the flying rocks and lightning.

After a series of close calls, they drifted through the passage for eight or nine days until finally, a vast world came into view, with a transparent barrier just one meter in front of them.

"Rumors say that there are boundaries between heaven and earth, but I didn't expect it to be true. Breaking through those boundaries won't be easy," Ye Hao frowned. Along the way, he, Lu Yeling, and Ye Tianzheng were all feeling somewhat exhausted.

The group searched for a long time but still couldn't find a way to break it.

Is there really no other way?

Ye Hao felt somewhat helpless. After drifting for so long, was he still blocked from surviving?

"There is another method that might break through the barrier," Ye Tianzheng said calmly.

"As everyone knows, the Ye family's Phoenix Cultivation Technique has ten realms. Each realm has a life-snatching and heaven-shattering method that consumes one's own life force in exchange for powerful strength. The higher the realm, the stronger the life-snatching method."

"I have now cultivated to the eighth realm—Nirvana, exchanging all my life force for a Heaven-Shattering Strike three hundred times stronger than myself," Ye Tianzheng explained.

"father,……"

"Son, I know what you want to say. Let's not even talk about whether your cultivation level meets the requirements. Even if it does, can you really abandon your wife and children?"

Furthermore, giving up all life doesn't mean I'm dead. After losing all life, I will transform into a seed of rebirth, and I can be revived once more as long as I absorb enough life.

This is why our True Phoenix Technique is called the Second Technique. If no one could cultivate it to the Ninth or Tenth level, it might very well contend for the position of the First Technique.

Ye Tian interrupted Ye Hao, speaking calmly with a hint of pride.

Ye Hao remained silent, looking at his father with a hint of red in his eyes, and couldn't help but think of all the things that had happened in the past.

When he was very young, his mother passed away from illness, and Ye Tianzheng raised him single-handedly. Later, he began to learn the True Phoenix Technique and was hailed as a peerless talent. Out of jealousy, his clansmen repeatedly tried to destroy him with treacherous schemes, but Ye Tianzheng blocked them all.

When they were discussing marriage, Ye Hao fell in love at first sight with Lu Yeling of the Life Clan. However, the Life Clan had already declined at that time. Ye Tianzheng disregarded the unanimous opposition of the clan elders and made the marriage possible for the couple.

Now, with his grandson born, the father, who hasn't even had a chance to enjoy family life, has to risk his life to save his grandchild. How heartbreaking!

Lu Yeling was also in tears, wanting to dissuade him but not knowing how to start.
