Against the Gods Volume 1: The Beauty That Causes Trouble Chapter 683: The Legendary "Old Man Who Takes Away the Heavens"



The edge of the Tianxuan Continent, a place of perennial tranquility.

"What you said... is it true?"

The mysterious space floating in the air was so quiet that it seemed as if everything was completely frozen. Under the huge sun and moon totems, there stood a tall man in white clothes, without any aura. The light and dark light from the sun and moon totems reflected his plain face. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, but his pupils were filled with a depth that ordinary people could not understand.

In front of him, the ninth elder of the Sun Moon Palace, Ye Guying, leaned forward with his head bowed. He tried very hard to control his aura and even his breathing... and there was only one person in the world who could make him look so humble. The Palace Master of the Sun Moon Palace... Ye Xinghan's biological father... was one of the four great overlords of the Tianxuan Continent along with the Saint Emperor, the Sea Emperor, and the Sword Master... Ye Meixie, who was known as the "Heavenly Monarch"!

Facing the question from the man in white, Ye Guying subconsciously leaned forward a little more and said respectfully, "Replying to the Heavenly Lord, what I just said is not a lie! Self-created world, shattering the void, covering the sky, igniting the void... If I had only heard about these mythical powers, I would never have believed them. But I saw all of this with my own eyes! Young Master, Juanyun, and Xuran were also present, so there is absolutely no falsehood. Even if I had a thousand times more courage, I would never dare to deceive the Heavenly Lord with such a thing."

Ye Meixie turned his back to Ye Guying, with his head slightly raised, looking at the sun and moon totems that towered into the clouds and released eternal brilliance: "Guying has always been calm and cautious, and as careful as a hair. Since you saw it with your own eyes and said it with your own mouth, I naturally will not doubt it. I didn't expect that there is such a hidden existence in this world."

“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.” The scenes in front of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace flashed through his mind, and Ye Guying couldn’t help but show deep awe on his face: “That Yun Che was just a useless person six years ago, that’s absolutely true, but three years ago, he defeated ten young people of the Phoenix Divine Sect, all of whom were the strongest at the Emperor Profound Realm, with his Earthly Profound Realm. Now, only three years have passed, but he can kill two mid-stage Overlords of my Sun Moon Divine Palace with just a wave of his hand! When I learned about it, I was already full of shock and confusion, but after seeing that terrifying master, I understood instead… Only with the guidance of such an out-of-this-world master, could a freak like Yun Che, who completely defies common sense, appear.”

Ye Meixie's expression was calm. He tilted his head slightly and said calmly, "Then have you found out the name of that person?"

"Yes!" Ye Guying nodded slowly: "I risked angering him and asked for his name. He didn't shy away and told me directly that his name was 'Dutian'..."

When the word "Duo Tian" came out, Ye Guying clearly felt that Ye Meixie's body suddenly had a momentary surge of profound energy. Ye Meixie's pupils, which had been half closed, suddenly opened and he turned around abruptly: "What did you say? Duo Tian!? Are you sure it's Duo Tian!?"

Ye Guying was shocked by Ye Meixie's reaction. In the past thousand years, he had never seen such a violent reaction from this arrogant Heavenly Sovereign. He said quickly, "He said it himself. With his realm, he would not bother to use a false name if he told me."

Ye Meixie's eyes were abnormally turbulent, and his breath was slightly disordered. "Did he tell me how old he is now?"

"No." Ye Guying said, "But, he once mentioned the three words 'ten thousand years ago' accidentally... With his terrifying state, maybe he has really lived for more than ten thousand years. Tianjun, could it be that you have heard of the name 'Dutian'?"

Ye Meixie looked directly at Ye Guying. From the turmoil in his soul, he could confirm that Ye Guying had not lied. After a long while, he turned around and spoke slowly and distantly, "In an extremely long time ago, at least ten thousand years ago, because at that time, there was no Sun Moon Divine Palace in the world. The founder of our Divine Palace, Ye Qihun, had just turned a hundred years old, and his profound strength had only just entered the Sovereign Profound Realm. At that time, no one, whether mortal or in the Profound Dao, did not know a name..."

"Old Man Duotian!"

“Duotian… Old Man? Ten thousand years ago…” Ye Guying raised his head suddenly and said in surprise: “Could it be…”

"In the cognition of the Xuan practitioners in the world today, the Sovereign Xuan Realm is the pinnacle of human beings, and the Divine Xuan Realm is a realm that only exists in legends and can never be reached. However, in the memories passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, the name of 'Divine Xuan Realm' did not appear after the Phoenix God appeared in the world five thousand years ago, but was passed down ten thousand years ago. Because at that time, 'Old Man Duotian' was said to be a person who transcended the Sovereign Xuan Realm and stepped half a foot into the Divine Xuan Realm!"

"The realm of the mysterious gods!" Ye Guying murmured softly.

"In that era, Elder Duotian's cultivation had reached the pinnacle and reached the highest level. There was no one in the world who could compete with him, let alone anyone who could pose a slight threat to him, let alone anyone who could kill him."

"Then what happened to this old man Duotian? Since no one could kill him, did he eventually die of exhaustion, or... or..." Ye Guying was startled and began to have increasingly clear guesses... Yun Che's master called himself "Duotian" and possessed world-shaking magical powers. The person mentioned by Tianjun was called "Old Man Duotian". The former had lived for at least ten thousand years, and the latter was famous throughout the world ten thousand years ago...

“Duotian” is the “Duotian Old Man” from ten thousand years ago! ?

“No!” Ye Meixie shook his head slightly: “He suddenly disappeared one day, and no one has seen him since then, and no one knows where he went, just like he suddenly disappeared from the Tianxuan Continent. Not long after, there was a legend in Tianxuan Continent: Elder Duotian suddenly realized, from half a step into the realm of the Divine Profound, officially stepped into the realm of the Divine Profound, became the first Xuanshen in the history of Tianxuan Continent, obtained supreme divine power, glimpsed the supreme law, and thus shattered the void and ascended to a higher level of the Xuandao world.”

"Since then, there has never been another 'Old Man Duotian', nor has there been a second 'Old Man Duotian'. The only Phoenix spirit who has reached the half-step Divine Profound Realm is not human. Ten thousand years are long enough for any miracle to be forgotten. The people of 'Old Man Duotian's' era have long since vanished into thin air. Old Man Duotian has also been completely forgotten. The legend that the Sovereign Profound Realm is the limit of humans has become more and more deeply rooted. If it weren't for the ancestral memory passed down from generation to generation and not lost, no one in this world, including me, would have known the name 'Old Man Duotian'."

Ye Meixie's expression gradually became heavy. A man who thought he was invincible suddenly found out that there was a higher level existence hidden in this world. Naturally, he would not feel comfortable. He whispered, "If they were both named 'Duotian', it could be a coincidence of names, but a lifespan of more than ten thousand years and incredible strength is definitely not a simple coincidence... That Duotian is most likely the 'Old Man Duotian' in our ancestor's memory!"

Although he had thought about this a long time ago, Ye Guying's eyelids still twitched violently. A person who was invincible ten thousand years ago, who had half a foot in the Shinto, and who was very likely to have completely entered the Shinto... After another ten thousand years, it is completely unimaginable how terrifying he will be! !

No wonder, the fire he ignited with just a flick of his finger could turn a powerful emperor into nothingness.

"Based on your description, this guess is more than 70% likely to be true." Ye Meixie frowned and said, "I didn't expect that the old man Duotian ten thousand years ago did not ascend to a higher world, but never left Tianxuan Continent! Perhaps he had a great enlightenment one day, so he hid his whereabouts and didn't care about worldly affairs... Until today, he is still alive in the world. And if he really reached the realm in the legend, then it is not impossible for him to live for more than ten thousand years!"

"No doubt, that is a realm that completely surpasses the Sovereign Profound Realm!" Ye Guying, who was always calm and cautious and rarely spoke out loud, said in an extremely affirmative tone: "Guying has practiced for more than a thousand years and is only one step away from the late Sovereign Profound Realm. I believe I can look down on the entire Tianxuan Realm, but in front of that person's aura, I feel as small as a child. My whole body trembles uncontrollably and I can't even stay calm. If it weren't for the suppression of the Absolute Realm, this would never be possible!"

“The Imperial Holy Land combined the strength of dozens of emperors and spent a great deal of time and effort to build a spatial profound formation that could allow one to escape from the Primordial Profound Ark, and sealed it in the bracelet… but it could only be used once! And that person, he used his physical body to enter the Primordial Profound Ark that had already left, and brought Yun Che back without any injury! This is clearly the power of shattering the void that only the legendary gods have!”

Combining what he had seen and heard with his own ears with the name of "Old Man Duotian" mentioned by Ye Meixie himself, Ye Guying became more and more frightened the more he thought about it, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead... They actually provoked such a person so brazenly. It was a blessing for their ancestors to be able to come back alive.

Ye Meixie groaned for a long time, then said calmly: "I will inform the whole palace later that no one, including those related to Yun Che, shall provoke Yun Che before I lift the order."

“Yes!” Ye Guying bowed his head and obeyed. Even if he had three more courage, he would never dare to step into Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace again. After hesitating for a while, he said cautiously: “Sir, is it necessary for us to ease the relationship with Yun Che? After all, the young master and Yun Che have formed a deep hatred. And behind Yun Che is that old man Duotian. If this hatred is not resolved, I am afraid…”

Ye Mei turned her evil face to the side, her eyes like cold swords: "Are you afraid?"

Ye Guying smiled bitterly and said, "My Lord, I am lucky enough to be a member of the Divine Palace and stand at the top of the world. I am now 1,300 years old and have never known what 'fear' is. But that old man Duotian really scares me."

He had already called Yun Che's "Master" "Old Man Duotian", and it was obvious that he was completely convinced in his subconscious.
