The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 846 - 341: Five Emperors in the Same Palace

The coarse and hearty voice of the bear-man echoes between heaven and earth.

As this voice fell, outside the altar, from toddlers half a person tall to white-haired elders, the previously cautious and peeping gazes gradually grew bold.

Inside the altar, everyone had neglected Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying from the start. Was it because their statuses were so low that they didn’t qualify to stand on equal footing with others?

No, that wasn’t it.

The moment he returned to Without-Sun City, Ye Hanjun became the absolute center of attention.

His red hair, sharp as swords, pointed directly at the sky.

His double pupils, bright as torches, were like diamond-angry eyes, commanding awe across all lands.

The fresh blood scar on his forehead shone like the dawn’s early light, bright and splendid.

How could such a spectacle go unnoticed? It was simply being deliberately ignored, with no one initiating mention of it.

Now, the situations of the other returnees were roughly understood.

Even if there were some details that were unclear, they were insignificant.

Who else was left? Which other major figures were there? This desire for the truth was intensely gripping.

"In ancient times, the mythical beings with four pupils per eye, born divine and deathless, were always destined for emperorship..."

"Even through a protective barrier, we could feel that Lord Han is entirely different from before."

"Clearly, he acquired remarkable fortune in the great tomb, his power rising like the sun, soaring rapidly, and the transformation is so significant, it’s hard to put into words,"

muttered an Elder leaning on a cane, his eyes sparkling with insight.

Several others agreed, full of suspicion:

"At first, if he hadn’t been standing next to Liuying Lord, I really wouldn’t have believed this was Lord Han."

"Did he consume some incredibly rare thousand-year-old medicine related to the Fire Attribute or Blood Attribute?"

"Otherwise, how could there be such a drastic change in appearance? It’s truly baffling..."

The noisy conversation grew more intense.

In contrast, inside the altar it seemed like the calm before a storm, everything was deadly quiet, the atmosphere suffocating.

Despite being a Young King, having ascended to the Seventh Rank and becoming an ’Eternal Night Angel’,

nobody noticed Ye Liuying, treating her as if she didn’t exist, subconsciously ignoring her.

Ye Aobai, Ye Buchun, Ye Xien, Ye Lingwu...

No matter where they were stationed, their gazes uniformly focused solely on Ye Hanjun.

"Lord Han, are you willing to share what you encountered in the tomb?"

A gentle whisper, as soothing as a mother’s advice.

Standing in the rosy light, Ye Shu’s hair fluttered like a simple yet graceful lotus, her eyes hiding a glimmer of anticipation and a streak of dawn light.

"I..."

Ye Hanjun’s lips quivered, just about to utter a word.

Above the heavens, blue lightning roared tumultuously, like a waterfall flashing down ninety thousand leagues, the rampaging electric current brutally smashing against the semi-transparent barrier, the shrill sound piercing like needles in one’s ear.

Ye Shu’s expression changed, suddenly looking up at the sky.

The creature behind her issued a deep roar as colors overflowed, the entire sky-high pillar shining bright as a galaxy.

"Damn it."

The bear-man cursed suddenly, then fell silent.

The violent aura venting out, the pillar it guarded instantly sparkled brilliantly.

"Boom!"

"Boom Boom!"

"Boom Boom Boom!!"

Plastic Bimeng, Golden Pheasant, Blissful Beast, Pen Immortal... Originally, only twelve sky-high pillars were lit up, now, another twelve burst into light.

With that, the frantic thunder disappeared.

The initially loosely formed dark Cloud Sea, like a brief blooming flower, slowly faded away.

"I hadn’t anticipated that the City Protection Array truly needed to be activated at full force."

"Shu, you had the foresight to call us here..."

The Golden Pheasant sighed in relief, his face still in fright.

But... before he could fully relax, after seeing the strange phenomenon overhead, his heart leaped to his throat again.

"Look, what is that?!"

At this moment, it wasn’t just the central altar, not just outside the altar.

In the outer areas of Without-Sun City, humans and creatures walking in the streets all looked up, as if seeing something unbelievable, one more astonished than the next.

"An eye...?"

"A blue eye?"

"Hasn’t the Clock of the Era passed its hundred years? The renewal is complete, how could there still be a calamity appearing over our ancestral city?"

Panic spread like a tide, swiftly expanding.

But it didn’t last too long before a serene flute sound drifted by, and the chaos abruptly stopped.

Humans filled with terror in their eyes suddenly felt their souls soothed, their rapid breathing evening out.

"This is Without-Sun City, the ancestral land of the Ye Clan."

"Even if Divine Enthronement dares to encroach, we have the power to retaliate, so why such panic?"

It was unknown who transmitted this message, or from where.

The restless crowd completely calmed down, starting to cautiously observe the blue eye overhead with circumspect glances.

The eye was at least a kilometer in diameter.

It hung eerily in the void, unaffected by air movement, its position unchanged from start to finish.

The color was too beautiful, a dreamy blue, a dazzling blue, clearer than any river.

But to gaze directly into this eye was to feel the mystery and depth of the deep sea.

The Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits unconsciously whined, while residents of the outer city from the Yushi Clan and affiliated to them, clutched their chests, faces filled with reverence.

"Hard to look at directly... This is the manifestation of the supreme Law/Principle..."
