In an instant.
Tian Lang Emperor Ba and his million-strong army vanished into the sky. Emperor Ba understood that without the Qian Dongtian, he was no match for the Star River Empire, especially with Mo Junlin having already entered the Venerable realm, and besides him, there was also King Ye of the Star River Empire, whose combat power far surpassed the peak of the ninth-tier Great Emperor.
With these two around.
All of his Tian Lang Empire's advantages were gone!
On the execution platform of the Qiongcang Planet, hundreds of thousands of powerful figures from various factions were watching.
Gulp~
Countless people swallowed in unison, staring at Ye Xuan, who stood on the execution platform, with extreme shock. Their eyes were filled with apprehension and astonishment.
"Amazing, King Ye of the Star River Empire has become even stronger than before!"
"He instantly killed five peak ninth-tier Great Emperors, comprehended spear intent, and he's also a lightning cultivator. His combat power might not be far behind that of a Venerable!"
"Ahem... Who knows? What's even more terrifying is that his strength is only at the peak of the eighth-tier Great Emperor. If he were to enter the ninth-tier Great Emperor realm, or even the peak of the ninth-tier Great Emperor, wouldn't he be able to contend with Venerable realm experts!"
"A genius, an unparalleled genius. Someone like King Ye cannot be judged by ordinary standards!"
"If this young man does not fall, his future achievements might even surpass those of Emperor Mo Junlin of the Star River Empire!!"
...
Hundreds of thousands of people were abuzz with discussion, their admiration and envy for Ye Xuan in their eyes undisguised.
The execution... also concluded here.
"Heh heh, young friend King Ye, may I trouble you to step aside for a moment to talk."
Seeing the scene conclude, amidst the attention of everyone, Tong Wuya spoke with a gentle smile. This demeanor was entirely different from how he had treated Mo Junlin and Qian Dongtian earlier.
The reason for this was clear to most.
Evidently, King Ye's combat power had moved even Tong Wuya, a third-tier Venerable, which explained his current attitude.
Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Tong Wuya and Ye Xuan flew away, leaving hundreds of thousands of bewildered people behind.
A short while later.
Somewhere on the Qiongcang Planet.
"Young friend Ye's talent is extraordinary, and he will undoubtedly surpass this old man in the future."
Upon arriving, Tong Wuya spoke without reservation. He had to admit that Ye Xuan was the most talented person he had ever met, and there was no one comparable even in the Long Yang Empire.
"Esteemed Guest Wuya, you are too kind."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and then asked, "May I ask why you were looking for me?"
Ye Xuan naturally did not believe that Tong Wuya was looking for him to discuss life.
As expected, after Ye Xuan finished speaking, Tong Wuya no longer beat around the bush.
"Young friend Ye, may I have a look at that lightning spear from before?"
Tong Wuya mentioned the lightning spear, his attitude softening further. It was unclear if this was due to his connection with the Sky-Breaking Thunder King from a hundred thousand years ago, or for some other reason.
"Lightning spear?"
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. With a flip of his right hand, the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear appeared in his grasp. "Are you referring to this, Esteemed Guest?"
As the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear was held, faint lightning emanated from it.
Upon closer inspection, Tong Wuya exclaimed with emotion, "May I ask, young friend, is this the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear?"
"Hmm!?"
Hearing Tong Wuya's words, Ye Xuan was taken aback. He was clearly surprised that Tong Wuya could immediately identify the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear, which suggested that the spear had quite a background.
"Esteemed Guest, you know of this spear?"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Tong Wuya smiled slightly and then his thoughts drifted back in time with emotion. "Know it? More than just know it."
"The previous owner of this spear was the foremost among the twelve thrones of my Long Yang Empire, the weapon of the Sky-Breaking Thunder King."
"The Sky-Breaking Thunder King was an existence that astounded an era!"
"Back then, the Sky-Breaking Thunder King, wielding this Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear, suppressed all the geniuses from the other nine super empires, and allowed the Long Yang Empire to remain the foremost among the ten super empires for over a thousand years."
When mentioning the Sky-Breaking Thunder King, Tong Wuya's eyes were filled with unreserved admiration and fervor. The Sky-Breaking Thunder King was a role model for countless people in their Long Yang Empire, and even the current Emperor of Long Yang held him in immense respect.
Hearing Tong Wuya's words, Ye Xuan was stunned. "You mean... the previous owner of the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear was the number one throne of your Long Yang Empire!?"
"Yes."
Tong Wuya licked his lips. "The Sky-Breaking Thunder King was already at the peak of the eighth-tier Venerable realm ten thousand years ago. Rumor has it that before his disappearance, he had already entered the ninth-tier Venerable realm, and at that time, he was less than five hundred years old."
"He was also the youngest number one throne in the history of the Long Yang Empire!"
"It's a pity... If the Sky-Breaking Thunder King had not perished, perhaps even the Star River Empire could be considered a dominant force today, and breaking through to the extreme Venerable realm or even becoming a Dao Ancestor wouldn't have been impossible."
"Indeed, it is so."
Clearly, Ye Xuan was unaware of the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear's past. He had not expected this spear from the planet Atlantia to have such a profound origin.
Perhaps even Illif himself did not know!!
It seemed that before the Sky-Breaking Thunder King perished, he had returned to Atlantia to rest in his homeland, and at the same time, left this lightning spear for the next Star Lord.
"Young friend Ye."
After a pause, Tong Wuya flipped his right hand, and a jade token appeared, bearing the characters "Qing Tian" written on it. "This is the identity token of Lord Qing Tian, the tenth throne of the Long Yang Empire."
"With this token, you are considered a distinguished guest of the Qing Tian Throne. With this token, it will be much more convenient for you to travel among the ten super empires in the future."
"Of course, this token has another function."
After a moment of thought, Tong Wuya did not conceal it. "With this token, young friend Ye can command all individuals below the second-tier Venerable realm within the star domain of the Long Yang Empire."
"Hmm!?"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was taken aback. "Command individuals below the second-tier Venerable realm, meaning... this token can command first-tier Venerables!?"
"That's right."
Seeing Ye Xuan's surprise, Tong Wuya smiled and then said meaningfully, "Young friend Ye's talent is extraordinary. Being confined to the Star River Empire, a mere corner of the world, is a waste of your potential. If you have the opportunity in the future, you should visit the Long Yang Empire. I believe that is where you truly belong."
Clearly, Tong Wuya's actions were a gesture of goodwill towards Ye Xuan.
After all... the competition among the ten super empires was extremely fierce nowadays, and the act of poaching talent was common.
"Then thank you for the gift, Esteemed Guest Wuya."
"If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit the Long Yang Empire."
Ye Xuan took the jade token and expressed his thanks. Tong Wuya was not surprised by this and simply smiled, "Then I shall await your arrival in the Long Yang Empire."
After a few more words, Tong Wuya flashed and left the scene. "Young friend Ye, may we meet again!"
His voice still lingered in the air, but Tong Wuya had already vanished into the distance.
A third-tier Venerable realm expert is truly formidable!
Then, Ye Xuan's gaze fell upon the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear in his hand, and he murmured, "Sky-Breaking Thunder King, an existence that suppressed an era ten thousand years ago, is truly something to anticipate."
Little did Ye Xuan know that the descendants of geniuses from the other nine super empires, who had been oppressed by the Sky-Breaking Thunder King, harbored deep hatred for him. If they were to learn that Ye Xuan was the current wielder of the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear, they would likely come rushing to fight him for three hundred rounds to avenge their ancestors.
