Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 830: Chapter 522: The Heaven-Covering Might of the White-haired Worm King! (Double Chapter)_2

On the contrary, quite a few Grandmasters were shaken under this mighty pressure, injured and vomiting blood due to the backlash of power.

Song Changming, relying on his formidable physique, was not injured under the pressure, but he could not stop the massive black hand that was descending.

Until a flash of golden light arrived instantly, Emperor Yun raised his palm to overturn the sky, transforming into an equally radiant golden palm.

This palm collided with the massive black hand in an instant in the air, with airwaves shooting hundreds of miles, turning the entire sky into an interwoven mess of gold and black.

The immense energy spread across the entire world, causing waves hundreds of feet high.

It’s fortunate that we’re in the sea domain, otherwise, this single clash would have been enough to destroy all visible mountains and lands, and all living creatures.

In the end, the black hand dispersed, and the black cloud dissipated with it.

”You killed my offspring, this hatred I shall remember!”

”There will be a day when we meet again, and then I will make you wish for death!”

A rumbling voice came from the heavens, echoing across the entire sea domain, and even the people in the distant Imperial City could vaguely hear a bit.

Most people were bewildered, not knowing what had transpired.

On the sea, the oppressive feeling on everyone had disappeared, the black clouds scattered, and the wind and rainstorm quickly calmed down.

The sunlight was bright, the gentle breeze blew, making it comfortable.

”Your Majesty, what kind of demon was that just now?” Yi Hui took a deep breath, calming the turbulent Qi Blood in his body, and asked in shock.

Emperor Yun had unified the world through martial arts, with a personal mastery in Martial Tao that few could match in the world.

Yet now, an unknown demon appeared, suppressing all of them without even showing itself, and could even contend with Emperor Yun in a round, which was absolutely beyond the capabilities of an ordinary Great Demon, or even a Demon King.

At least the King of the Nine Netherworlds, beings like Celestial Venerable Mo, could not possibly achieve this.

Emperor Yun stood with hands clasped behind, squinting, with a deep gaze.

”Yuan Province, Eight-eyed White Worm Race, I suppose it should be that White-haired Worm King.”

Emperor Yun revealed the identity of the opponent, and many present felt their hearts sink, their expressions turning serious.

”It’s actually that White-haired Worm King, no wonder it has such strength!” Situ Shenbo came to the side of Situ Ming and Song Changming, looking enlightened.

”Father.” Situ Ming snapped out of it, dispelling the Immortal Flame around him, and saluted his approaching father.

”Hmm.” Originally, Situ Shenbo also wanted to ask about Situ Ming’s experiences in the Celestial Ruins Realm, but with the sudden appearance of the White-haired Worm King, along with Emperor Yun’s arrival, such inquiries had to be conducted later in private.

”I ask you, in the Celestial Ruins Realm, did any demon from the White-haired Worm Race appear?” Emperor Yun asked, addressing everyone.

”Your Majesty, there were indeed three Great Demons from the White-haired Worm Race that appeared, I didn’t have time to report this to you earlier.” Hua Sichen, beside Emperor Yun, was the first to respond.

”Were they killed?” Emperor Yun asked next.

”Yes...” Hua Sichen just began to speak again when Song Changming already stood out proactively.

”Your Majesty, it was done by me.” Song Changming confessed.

He had publicly slayed Chongsi and Chong Yin, so he couldn’t deny it.

Seeing Song Changming stand up and draw Emperor Yun’s attention, Hua Sichen did not continue speaking.

If the White-haired Worm King just now truly came for vengeance for his offspring, then undoubtedly his target would be Song Changming among the crowd.

”Oh? How many were killed?” Emperor Yun asked with a calm demeanor, continuing the inquiry.

”Two dead, one escaped.” Song Changming replied truthfully.

Beside him, Situ Ming worried that Emperor Yun might blame Song Changming for this, and wanted to help explain: ”Your Majesty, the situation was urgent at that time, Brother Song had no choice but to take action, please do not blame him...”

Seeing this, Situ Shenbo pulled his child back without waiting for him to finish, shaking his head: ”Do not speak impulsively, His Majesty will make a decision.”

Emperor Yun smiled slightly, glanced at Situ Ming, and said, ”When did I ever say I would blame Young Friend Song?”

”The Eight-eyed White Worm Race has always been a mortal enemy of the Human Race, Young Friend Song slaying them is meritorious, not a mistake, and I shall reward you in due course.”

Upon hearing this, Situ Ming realized he had indeed spoken out of turn.

Emperor Yun did not linger on the matter of the White-haired Worm, instead, he addressed everyone: ”You have all just returned from the Celestial Ruins Realm, you must be tired, go and rest, others will handle the remaining matters accordingly.”

”Thank you, Your Majesty!” Everyone responded.

”The kid Song, come along.”

Emperor Yun finally pointed to Song Changming, wasting no further time, turned into a golden light, and disappeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Song Changming followed.

Inside the Cloud Palace, Emperor Yun sat on the emperor’s throne, with only Song Changming and Hua Sichen below.

”Didn’t expect you to have hidden techniques, concealing part of your strength, even I was deceived.” Emperor Yun first looked at Song Changming and said, his tone more relaxed than when he had faced the crowd, with less of an imposing manner and more casualness.

Song Changming knew that Emperor Yun was referring to the Star Realm he had used while slaying that Demon King, and he said.

”Your Majesty, forgive me, it’s just that the cost of using this ability is immense, and it cannot be used unless absolutely necessary or driven to a desperate situation, it’s not deliberate concealment.”

”Alright, I won’t blame you, after all, being able to kill the White-haired Worm is a merit.” Emperor Yun waved it off, not probing further into this matter.

”I called you here for another matter to ask you.”

Song Changming adjusted his expression, aware of what Emperor Yun wanted to ask.

”About Emperor Yuan.”

Song Changming thought to himself, just as expected.

The discovery of a suspected tombstone and residual soul of Emperor Yuan was probably the most significant event in the Celestial Ruins Realm this time.

Compared to this, events like the Ancient Immortal Tree or disputes with the Demon Race were secondary.

”I’ve heard the general events from Si Chen, but you were the first to discover Emperor Yuan’s residual soul, so I want to know if you have anything else to add.” Emperor Yun said, looking at Song Changming.

Song Changming recalled the process of encountering that shadow of Emperor Yuan and tried to add some details he saw.

”Emperor Yuan’s residual soul was different from the other Ancient Race residual souls, it didn’t attack the living or had the instinct to seize human Qi, instead, it helped us right upon its appearance, extinguishing all the Ancient Race’s lingering souls.

It noticed us first, rather than those closer demon races, seemingly perceiving my consciousness as awake, and directly approached me...

Song Changming spoke in detail, as he wasn’t sure if it was indeed the residual soul of Emperor Yuan since his understanding of the legendary Emperor Yuan was limited.

Therefore, he could only provide as much information as possible for Emperor Yun to judge.

Including the unprecedented pressure he felt from this residual soul, far surpassing other Ancient Race residual souls.

Moreover, he clearly saw that it was Emperor Yuan’s residual soul that led all of them into that ancient war.

Regarding all the sensations within that Illusion Realm, he explained more comprehensively.

He believed that if it was truly Emperor Yuan’s residual soul, then its intention to bring them into this Illusion Realm had to have other profound meanings.

Indeed, this Illusion Realm, the ancient war they were shown, was of utmost importance.

As a result, when Song Changming discussed this Illusion Realm, Emperor Yun’s expression grew more serious.

After Song Changming finished, not only did Emperor Yun appear lost in thought, but even Hua Sichen gave Song Changming several glances, as if Song Changming revealed many details he had not observed.

Song Changming paused and continued: ”Your Majesty, there is one more thing.”

Emperor Yun looked up at him, ”Speak.”

”I’m not sure if Assistant Minister Hua or others heard it at the time, but after withdrawing from that Illusion Realm, I vaguely heard a voice, not coming from the outside, but manifesting directly in my mind...” Song Changming slowly said.

”Oh?” Emperor Yun’s expression slightly changed, and asked, ”What did the voice say?”

”Go quickly.”

”Go quickly?”
