Chapter 2420: The Grand Array Ancestor!

At this moment, a torrent of laws cascaded down from the mountain peak, like an inverted Milky Way, a magnificent sight.

The Eight Void Mountain Grand Array, stretching for tens of millions of miles, was fully activated at this instant.

Such vast power made everyone tremble with fear.

Even Yue Feng, a天人五衰 expert, paled in comparison before such overwhelming force.

"He reached the summit! He... he really reached the summit! That is the Realm of Rules—how did he do it?"

Yue Feng's face was etched with shock; the sight of Ye Yuan reaching the summit struck him with overwhelming impact.

Rules are the ultimate pursuit of all天人境 martial artists.

Yet in this era, for ten billion years, aside from a few Dao Ancestors, no one had been able to comprehend rules.

Even though all天人境 experts knew that the summit of Eight Void Mountain was the Realm of Rules, no one had ever reached it.

Once, the Heartless Heavenly Emperor climbed over seventy thousand miles, only a step away from the Realm of Rules, but he never took that step.

Yet today, someone had actually reached the summit!

And this person was merely a Heavenly Emperor realm martial artist.

The shock this scene brought was unimaginable.

The first person in ten billion years!

Naturally, Yue Feng was not the only one stunned.

The experts on Eight Void Mountain had never imagined that staying on the mountain amidst such chaos would allow them to witness such a miracle.

"Could it be that this kid has already comprehended the power of rules? But he's only at the Heavenly Emperor realm!"

"If he hasn't comprehended the power of rules, how did he reach the summit? How contradictory!"

"What no one has accomplished in ten billion years, he has done. I almost doubt my own eyes!"

...

No words of amazement could describe the shock in their hearts.

The power of rules transcends all existence.

It can be gazed upon but not sought!

Now, a Heavenly Emperor realm martial artist had reached such a state—how could they not envy him?

Yet their shock was not over.

At that moment, Ye Yuan said calmly, "Show yourself."

Nine wisps of ghostly fire suddenly converged, finally forming an old man.

As soon as this old man appeared, an ethereal, ultimate power of array rules instantly enveloped the Eight Void Mountain Range.

Originally, Eight Void Mountain was a dead land.

But his appearance brought the entire Eight Void Mountain to life!

It seemed as if this place was born for him.

Even a fool could see it.

This old man was none other than the master of the Eight Void Mountain Grand Array!

Everyone held their breath, staring at the old man in awe.

This was a rules expert!

"This old servant, Lin Wushuang, pays respects to Lord Qing Sheng!"

Under everyone's shocked gaze, the old man knelt directly before Ye Yuan!

He knelt!

A rules expert was performing a grand kneeling bow to a Heavenly Emperor realm expert!

Moreover, such a supreme being usually had a resounding title.

Even in their self-proclamation, the experts on Eight Void Mountain felt their minds struggling to keep up.

Everything that happened today was too bizarre, too shocking, almost beyond their comprehension.

They all thought that Ye Yuan might have obtained the inheritance of the Grand Array Ancestor to reach the summit.

When Lin Wushuang appeared, they naturally assumed Ye Yuan should kneel to Lin Wushuang to thank him for the inheritance.

But the result was the exact opposite.

At that moment, Ye Yuan became an incredibly mysterious existence in everyone's eyes.

What exactly was his basis?

Ye Yuan looked at Lin Wushuang and found him somewhat unfamiliar.

He had spent too little time in the ancient era, so naturally he couldn't know everyone.

Among the outstanding ones back then, Lin Wushuang did not seem to be included.

"Rise. Have you seen me before?" Ye Yuan asked.

He had not stayed long in the Tianyin World, and most of that time was spent in seclusion, without truly guiding these prodigies.

Lin Wushuang said, "Disciple was among the first batch to enter the Tianyin World and was fortunate to witness your grace. Though I could not see your true face, your aura is unmistakable. Moreover... disciple is a close friend of Qin Chao."

Mentioning Qin Chao, Ye Yuan's expression darkened.

In the previous era, the one who accompanied him the longest was Qin Chao.

Unfortunately, he could not save Qin Chao.

Ye Yuan said, "You became an Ancestor, then what about Qin Chao..."

Lin Wushuang said, "He received personal guidance from Lord Qing Sheng, so naturally he ascended to the position of Grand Ancestor! Unfortunately, in the battle with Yuan Yi, the Old Ancestor of the Xuan Vein, he perished."

Ye Yuan nodded slightly and sighed, "It's a pity I couldn't fight alongside you back then."

Lin Wushuang said, "Since ancient times, nothing is perfect. Lord Qing Sheng's merits span the ages; there is no need for self-reproach. Moreover, the burden on your shoulders is far heavier than ours. What Lord Xuan Sheng said back then, we did not understand, but now seeing Qing Sheng again, I fully comprehend. You have come to take control of this array—has the Divine Race returned?"

Ye Yuan nodded, "The Divine Race army has invaded, and the myriad races are powerless to resist. I thought of this array. Hand it over to me."

Lin Wushuang said respectfully, "These nine rule array foundations are the essence of my lifelong learning, capable of evolving myriad arrays! That night, I painstakingly laid this array with all my heart, slaying eighty million Divine Race experts, but I also died from exhaustion. Today, I entrust it to you, my lord!"

Ye Yuan sighed, "You have endured much."

With that, Lin Wushuang pointed a finger at Ye Yuan's brow, and light blazed forth.

The nine rule array foundations entered Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness one by one.

Ye Yuan felt a vast, sky-like flood of information entering his sea of consciousness.

Though there were only nine foundations, the array rules contained within were incalculable.

The experts on Eight Void Mountain, hearing this exchange, were all stunned dumbfounded.

Much of what they heard was incomprehensible, but they did catch that Lin Wushuang referred to himself as a disciple.

A terrifying rules expert actually called himself a disciple to a Heavenly Emperor realm expert!

Was there anything more terrifying than this?

"Xiu Yun, do you know that... young man? What exactly is his background?"

At this point, some天人 experts had gathered around to ask Xiu Yun Heavenly Emperor for information.

Xiu Yun said with a grim face, "He said he came from a royal city in the Southern Domain..."

"A... royal city! Xiu Yun, are you joking with us?" No one would believe such a thing.

Xiu Yun replied, "But he seems to have made a great name for himself in the Southern Domain. I sent people to investigate, and indeed he came from a remote royal city. Moreover, his rise has only been in the last two or three thousand years. The speed of his ascent is astonishing. When I last saw him, he was at the Heavenly Sovereign realm. Now, he is at the peak of Heavenly Emperor! If I am not mistaken, he is very likely the reincarnation of some ancient monster!"

"Reincarnation of an ancient monster? What kind of ancient monster could make a rules expert call him master?"

Everyone fell silent...
