Chapter 2397: A Reunion Across Time and Space!

A moment ago, Yu Tanzhi's momentum was terrifying, as if he would destroy heaven and earth.

Yet in the next moment, his body involuntarily retreated.

After all that commotion, he had returned to his starting point.

Wan Zhen's pupils contracted sharply, staring at the scene in shock.

He had thought Ye Yuan had become strong, but not this strong!

Just now, Ye Yuan had forced Yu Tanzhi back to his original position using only the law of space, without even lifting a hand!

"This... this is too strong, isn't it?"

"Why has his strength become even more unfathomable in the spacetime turbulence?"

"We thought he had barely escaped death, but who knew he had already made all of us look up to him!"

...

The shock this scene brought to the Unforeseen Sons was too intense.

Originally, Ye Yuan had needed to use the True Nirvana Sword Formation to deal with them.

But three hundred years later, Ye Yuan didn't even need to make a move to force Yu Tanzhi back.

And this was Yu Tanzhi, who had improved greatly, not the Yu Tanzhi of before.

"Impossible! Impossible! Why has your law of space become so strong? What did you experience in the spacetime turbulence?" Yu Tanzhi looked utterly lost.

This exchange had dealt him a heavy blow.

Although Ye Yuan had been monstrous before, he had never exceeded their imagination.

But now, he could no longer see through Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan had reached a level he could never hope to match.

Ye Yuan sighed faintly and said, "A cleansing of the soul, a tragic song of blood and tears. Of course, you may never understand these things."

Everyone looked bewildered, not understanding.

Just then, several powerful auras tore through the air.

It was Xuanji Heavenly Emperor and the others, sensing the fluctuations in spacetime and rushing over.

Xuanji was overjoyed at the sight of Ye Yuan at first, but soon his expression changed drastically.

Shang Heng had almost the same expression!

"Senior, don't you feel that Ye Yuan's aura... resembles someone?" Xuanji found his mouth dry.

That person, he could never forget.

He had never seen that person's true face, but he would never forget that person's aura.

It was he who, together with Xuanji's father, was known as the Qingxuan Dual Saints!

It was he who created an unprecedented golden age!

Shang Heng's face was indescribably shocked, muttering, "This... this is impossible! How can this be? He... he..."

In the long river of time, that person's existence was but a fleeting moment.

Yet in that fleeting moment, he created a new era!

Shang Heng superimposed the Ye Yuan before him, across the endless river of time, onto that figure.

They were... exactly the same!

Back then, he couldn't see that person's true face.

But now, he could see this person very clearly.

"No! This... this must be an illusion! How could such a thing happen?" Shang Heng was flustered.

The others didn't understand why these two supreme beings had suddenly become so panicked.

Although Ye Yuan's return was miraculous, it shouldn't have affected them like this, right?

What exactly had happened?

Even the Thunder Ancestor looked bewildered.

He didn't know what could make a supreme being like Shang Heng so moved.

What had happened to Ye Yuan?

"Senior Shang, what's wrong? Isn't he just Ye Yuan?" the Thunder Ancestor asked in confusion.

Shang Heng shuddered, then suddenly snapped back to reality, saying, "Right! Right! Isn't he just Ye Yuan? An illusion! Haha, it must be an illusion! Isn't that right, Xuanji boy?"

He turned to look at Xuanji, only to find Xuanji staring back at him with extreme seriousness.

Shang Heng immediately deflated like a punctured ball.

Xuanji closed his eyes, took a deep breath, as if digesting something.

After a long while, he opened his eyes again and slowly exhaled, saying, "Senior Shang, I think... I understand!"

Shang Heng's face darkened. "What do you understand?"

Xuanji said solemnly, "That person appeared inexplicably and left... just as inexplicably! It was as if he appeared out of nowhere and vanished into thin air! Do you remember what he said? Not that he wouldn't act, but that he... couldn't! Why couldn't he? Because... he didn't belong to that era! Do you remember my father's enlightenment before his death? The heavenly secrets he saw through must be this! And... do you remember the last words he said to you?"

Shang Heng trembled all over, his eyes wide open as he stared at Ye Yuan.

"I hope when you see me again, you won't be too surprised!"

"You and I still have a bond in the future! This bond will span time and space!"

Even across endless ages, Shang Heng still remembered that person's words very clearly.

Because that person had influenced his entire life!

"You... are you really Lord Qing Sheng?" Shang Heng asked Ye Yuan with all his strength.

Hearing the name "Qing Sheng," the Thunder Ancestor trembled, looking at Ye Yuan in shock, his mind in turmoil!

In this era, this name had long been forgotten.

But in the previous era, he was one of the two revered by all races!

When he entered the Tianyin World, the Qingxuan Dual Saints were long gone.

But their names had never ceased to ring in his ears!

It was Xuan Sheng who, with the Yang of Heavenly Secrets, bought time for all races.

It was Qing Sheng who laid down the eighteen inheritance arrays, creating the eighteen ancestors!

Without these two, there would be no Tongtian Realm today.

Without these two, there would be no Thunder Ancestor himself!

But how could this name, like a blazing sun, be connected to the young man before him?

Ye Yuan had been silent all along, but now he broke into a smile and said, "Shang Heng, long time no see! You have done well!"

Thump!

Shang Heng, overwhelmed with emotion and tears streaming down his aged face, knelt directly before Ye Yuan.

"Shang Heng is incompetent, failing to completely defeat the divine race, disappointing you, my lord!" This supreme being, like a god, now cried like a child.

The Thunder Ancestor, Wan Zhen, Yu Tanzhi, Pang Zhen, and the many powerful experts present all gaped, too shocked to think.

They had long known the identity of this old man—the strongest since ancient times, without equal!

This man was a match for the divine race's supreme being, Tianqing!

He was the undisputed number one of the human race.

Yet he knelt before Ye Yuan!

Though much had been said, they still didn't understand what had happened.

The scene before them was too shocking.

The muscles on Xuanji's face twitched, but in the end, he let out a long sigh and knelt beside Shang Heng.

"Jian Haoran pays homage to Lord Qing Sheng!" said Xuanji Heavenly Emperor.

No matter how complicated the matter, Ye Yuan's identity as Qing Sheng was beyond doubt!

He was the equal of Xuanji's father!

Meeting Qing Sheng, he had to kneel!
