Chapter 650: Battle of the Past Life
Su Yie turned his head to look, only to see Emperor Su watching him with a smile.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you really want to do?"
Wait a second!
That's not right!
This isn't Emperor Su!
The Emperor Su from his past life had a cold demeanor, not a flippant smile.
He hurriedly distanced himself and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
The man's aura was completely different from the previous Emperor Su, but his appearance was still strikingly similar. Only by looking closely could one see the differences.
"My name is Tian Yun, last name Qin, also a past life of yours."
The man grinned, sizing up Su Yie as if he were looking at something amusing.
Su Yie furrowed his brows, perplexed. Another past life had emerged?
Before he could think further, Qin Tianyun waved his right hand, and the next second, they were standing before Emperor Su.
The three faced one another, creating a strange atmosphere.
After all, they were all the same soul.
Su Yie felt as if he were looking in a mirror, Emperor Su and Qin Tianyun representing his other two aspects.
"Where am I now?"
Su Yie asked, finding it awkward facing his two past lives.
Qin Tianyun laughed and said, "Deep within your soul."
Upon hearing this, Su Yie hastily asked, "Then what about me in the real world?"
"Only a wraith remains, teetering on the brink of soul dispersion."
Emperor Su snorted coldly, causing Su Yie's pupils to abruptly constrict.
He suddenly felt dejected; Emperor Su's Divine Outfit had actually been blasted by the enemy!
It seemed that Emperor Su's Divine Outfit was not absolutely invincible.
"Not exactly, it's mainly the Power of Destruction and the Divine Sacred Iron ravaging your body and soul. The opponent's self-destruction only played a minor auxiliary role."
Qin Tianyun shook his head, causing Su Yie to look at him in astonishment.
He actually knew about the Power of Destruction and the Divine Sacred Iron.
Could they have been observing him from deep within his soul all along?
The thought gave him the chills, even if it truly was his past self, he still felt uneasy.
Emperor Su said in an annoyed tone, "If it weren't for you entering the secret realm of past and present lives and obtaining the Space Rule, you would never have encountered us. Now, you should prepare to welcome the next life, just like us."
Su Yie frowned. He understood the secret realm of past and present lives, as it was there he first met the past life Emperor Su, but what did the Space Rule have to do with Qin Tianyun?
He didn't dwell on this question, instead asking, "How can I return to reality?"
"Return to face death? Currently, your wraith is hidden within the crevices of space, temporarily unreachable by anyone, so there's no hurry,"
Emperor Su replied, his gaze fixed intently on Su Yie, making him very uncomfortable.
Su Yie took a deep breath and asked, "How did you die?"
He could tell that the two were indeed afraid he might die again.
Or perhaps they were worried about dying again themselves.
"I died in battle for the beings of the myriad planes," Emperor Su answered.
Su Yie smirked. Really?
Qin Tianyun cleared his throat, stood tall, and said, "You ultimately died at the hands of another, but I died my own hand. Being invincible is lonely indeed!"
Su Yie looked at him in surprise and asked, "Did you practice a cultivation that led you to demonic possession and cause you to explode?"
"Cough—"
Qin Tianyun choked, not knowing how to rebut.
Emperor Su, who seldom smiled, quirked his lips and said, "He kept traveling through time, ended up getting himself killed recklessly."
Traveling through time!
Su Yie suddenly understood. Qin Tianyun's wraith had been in the space rule.
"If it weren't for me traveling through time, would you be here?"
Qin Tianyun sneered coldly.
Emperor Su remained unmoved and said, "That was also you from a previous source epoch!"
The previous source epoch?
Su Yie was privately puzzled, but the two former wraiths did not linger on this matter.
Qin Tianyun changed the topic and said, "What should we do now? This youngster is even more reckless than I was in my past life, daring to brave any danger. We must temper him thoroughly. He's only in the Saint Realm but has already provoked Hongmeng Divine Spirits and a transcendent force from the Eighth Source Plane. At this rate, he might provoke the God of Creation before reaching the Infinite Realm."
Emperor Su frowned and said, "It's simple, defeat him to let him realize there are always higher powers and older than him."
Qin Tianyun nodded, feeling that was the only way.
Su Yie, speechless, asked irritatedly, "Is it fun to bully yourself?"
Qin Tianyun turned to him and sighed, "In my previous life, I only believed in my own strength, which is why I used the chance to strengthen myself. After I died, I realized that relying solely on myself wasn't enough. That's why I turned it into a Sect's supporting treasure. You truly exceeded my expectations; you've developed quickly, and your power surpasses mine from the same realm. However, fortune and disaster are intertwined, and Emperor Su's Sect has ended up involving you."
Upon hearing this, Su Yie's expression froze, and he asked, "Did you create the Great Dao Communication Device?"
Qin Tianyun stood proudly and said, "Of course! You think such good fortune would just fall onto your lap? Before reincarnation, a trace of my consciousness followed you to Earth, settled deep within your soul, and created the ultimate treasure that suited your worldview. The moment Emperor Su's Sect was established, that trace of consciousness dissipated. You've indeed done very well, but perhaps too well, as you've hardly learned how to hide your talents."
Su Yie fell silent, his emotions mixed.
Emperor Su glanced at Qin Tianyun and said irritably, "It's still thanks to the special Grand Pathways your father granted you."
"Nonsense, I found the Grand Path of Space and the Grand Path of Time myself, and I even added something my father doesn't know about. Hehe, it will surely give him a scare later!" Qin Tianyun retorted and chuckled with pride toward the end.
Upon hearing this, Su Yie asked Qin Tianyun, "Who is your father?"
Qin Tianyun ignored him and asked Emperor Su, "Enough talk, when do we start dealing with him?"
"Now!"
No sooner had Emperor Su's words fallen than Su Yie, unprepared, was struck by a punch to his abdomen and sent flying.
The terrifying force almost made Su Yie lose consciousness. He immediately invoked the Arcane Battle Techniques and Battle Will. His aura exploded, and he stopped his body midair, turning around to attack Emperor Su.
Su Yie, innately competitive, refused to submit to anyone, even his former self.
In the blink of an eye, he crossed thousands of miles and appeared in front of Emperor Su, his right leg carrying a sky-splitting force sweeping out.
Emperor Su quickly raised his left arm and easily blocked the kick.
As Su Yie was about to continue his next move, a hand reached from behind, grabbed the collar of his white robe, and threw him.
It was Qin Tianyun again!
This guy always liked to launch sneak attacks!
Fury rose in Su Yie's heart as he saw Emperor Su descending from the sky, aiming to trample on his chest. His eyes widened, the Myriad Life Prescient Eye activated, and two beams of blazing flames shot up into the sky, engulfing Emperor Su's figure.
His figure flickered, and he moved a hundred miles away. His right hand raised, and several World-Ending Emperor Stars spontaneously condensed around him, resembling suns rising one after another.
His expression stern, his eyes shimmering with two Golden Crows—clearly, he was serious now.
To defeat him, real skills would be needed!
"Not bad at all!"
Qin Tianyun, watching Su Yie from a distance, exclaimed appreciatively, "Quite an impressive aura of mine."
