Chapter 1958: Chapter 1958: Flame Universe, the Third Dao Stele

"It’s actually the Flame Universe!" Even Xue Rongqing beside him was so surprised that her mouth hung open.

Her pretty face was full of astonishment.

"Flame Universe? Are you sure?" Ye Feng stared at the Immortal Venerable of the Flame Giant Race, questioning in a deep voice.

"Yes... yes, absolutely!" The Immortal Venerable of the Flame Giant Race dared not hide anything at all. After speaking, he felt very puzzled, beginning to suspect the origin of the person in the shadows, thinking that the other party might be from the Outer Universe.

Otherwise, why would the other party ask like this?

"Hmm, very good." Ye Feng nodded and did not reveal himself in front of the Immortal Venerable of the Flame Giant Race. He merely flicked his fingers, and a Nine-Turn Profound Pill shot through the air, entering the other’s mouth, releasing a majestic medicinal power.

"This is... a great opportunity!"

The Immortal Venerable of the Flame Giant Race was ecstatic. Having regained his freedom, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, focusing entirely on refining the Nine-Turn Profound Pill within his body.

Ye Feng paid him no attention and left directly.

In the boundless starry sky.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman were flying.

"I didn’t expect this to be the Flame Universe, the homeland of Huo Lingjiao, Luo Guanhua, and Black Ming Emperor. The third piece of the Dao Stele Shard is also here."

Ye Feng’s mind was rapidly calculating.

He felt that the reason Black Ming Emperor, Huo Lingjiao, and Luo Guanhua appeared in the Twin Universe was likely related to the third Dao Stele Shard here.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

These three had all entered the Twin Universe one after another, especially Black Ming Emperor, who had clearly already ascended to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable. Logically, he should have ascended to the Origin of All Things, not entered the Twin Universe.

But in reality, he went to the Twin Universe instead.

In Ye Feng’s view, this must be related to the Dao Stele.

Perhaps the Dao Stele influenced the ascension!

Whoosh!

The two flew quickly, and soon, they arrived in a cold and eerie Star Domain. According to the guidance, the third large Dao Stele Shard was hidden here.

"Sect Leader, look!"

Xue Rongqing, who was now a Ninety-Eighth Layer Immortal Emperor, and due to absorbing a large amount of Chaos Origin, her physique enhanced, and basic combat power had reached Nine-star Pinnacle King, she could easily see the scene in the depths of this Star Domain.

There was a peculiar star system.

Its center had two suns orbiting each other, and there were fifteen planets surrounding them. The seventh planet, counting from the inside, harbored life.

The third Dao Stele Shard was there.

However, this object was buried deep underground on that planet. If not for Xue Rongqing having seen the other two large Dao Stele Shards and being familiar with the aura of the Dao Stele, it would have been difficult to spot the deeply buried third large Dao Stele Shard at a glance.

"I see it too."

Ye Feng nodded.

The third large Dao Stele Shard was located underground; it was originally buried there but was now protected by a massive underground palace.

There were also many strong practitioners around it.

As for that Life Star, there lived many creatures with varying levels of cultivation.

The strongest was a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor.

"The Flame Universe is just a lower-ranked Great Universe, and there are very few Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors here. Having two or three coexisting in the same era is already quite good. So, this Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor is probably an ancestor of an Ancient Tribe. The strength should be quite formidable and might hinder our actions."

Ye Feng speculated.

"Sect Leader, whether or not he is the ancestor of an Ancient Tribe, he is not our match. Why not just go over and check it out directly?" Xue Rongqing said with a smile.

"Yes, indeed." Ye Feng blinked.

Who was he?

Sect Master of the Misty Holy Sect on Shenzhou Continent, at the Eighty-Eighth Level of the Creation Realm, capable of killing top-tier Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors, sweeping across the entire Flame Universe was a breeze.

Not to mention himself, even Xue Rongqing alone could sweep through innumerable strong practitioners in this universe.

So, what did they have to worry about?

Just charge ahead!

Swoosh!

The two traversed the void, passed through the mist, then used the Eye of Decryption to overcome the array shield outside the Star Domain, easily blending into the life-bearing planet.

This planet had a diameter of a million miles.

Placed in the vast universe, it didn’t even count as a grain of dust, but it did have many ancient civilizations on its surface, with as many as a hundred billion cultivators.

There were over ten thousand Immortal Emperors alone.

"One Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, two Ninety-Five Layered Immortal Emperors, five Ninety Layered Immortal Emperors, and more than ten in the Eighty-layered range... This lineup is quite formidable."

That was Ye Feng’s assessment.

The races on this planet were quite strong; even in the Twin Universe, they would be considered a top-tier power.

Step!

Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing landed on the ground, stepping onto a square paved with light purple tiles. Looking around, they found that the cultivators here tended towards being puppets.

On the streets, many puppets were walking.

Some were four-wheeled vehicles, some were puppet beasts, or even large puppet birds flying in the sky, all carrying varying numbers of cultivators forward.

This gave Ye Feng a familiar sensation.

It was like returning to modern Huaxia.

The difference was that the cultivators here rode Spiritual Artifact-level puppets, which were fast, responsive, and could effectively protect the passengers’ safety.

"The civilization development of the Flame Universe and the Twin Universe has some differences; it looks very novel."

That was Xue Rongqing’s evaluation.

"Indeed, the civilization here is quite interesting, giving me a feeling of returning home."

Ye Feng stood with his hands behind his back by the roadside.

Not to mention different universes, even within the Twin Universe itself, there were countless worlds, each nurturing wondrous and diverse ancient civilizations, all having reference value.

Ye Feng thought that since it was a rare visit to the Flame Universe, besides obtaining the third large Dao Stele Shard, he could also stay for some time to experience the local customs and practices.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, a voice sounded behind the two, speaking the native language of this Life Star, which was different from the common language of the Human Race in the Twin Universe. But being top-tier experts, Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing naturally understood.

"Sect Leader?" Xue Rongqing looked at Ye Feng.

"Ignore it, let’s find the third large Dao Stele Shard underground first. Other matters are not urgent and can wait until later." Ye Feng understood her meaning.

In the next moment.

The two disappeared into thin air.

By the road.

A young girl clad in armor noticed the space ahead suddenly became deserted, and she was stunned.

"Weren’t there two people?"

The girl rubbed her eyes and quickly activated the armor’s built-in video storage function, only to find that there were no two people in the recording; it was always empty.

"Did I see it wrong?"

The girl patted her head, thinking that she had probably been too tired recently from patrolling every day, which caused her to see things, and she hurried to patrol elsewhere.

She did not know that Ye Feng had shielded the space-time, so the armor couldn’t record the process just now.

Even she herself doubted her memory.

This is the power of the Law, able to alter others’ memories without any side effects.

...

Five thousand miles underground.

There was a huge underground palace, more than a hundred thousand meters in length, width, and height, entirely constructed with the remains of ancient giant beasts, its surface engraved with various strange array patterns for reinforcement.

At the gate of the underground palace.

Two Eighty-layered Immortal Emperors were guarding, enough to fend off the vast majority of strong practitioners in the Flame Universe.

However, they couldn’t stop Ye Feng.

In fact, when Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing walked past them, they didn’t even react.

The underground palace was divided into many chambers.

Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing passed straight through the wall, arriving at the very center of the underground palace, where they saw a thousand-meter long, partially weathered stone stele, its surface covered in intricate patterns.

"We found it, truly a case of wearing out iron shoes in fruitless searching, only to obtain it effortlessly!"

Ye Feng looked up at the stele, full of smiles.

This time leaving home, he originally only sought a cosmic-grade origin to perfectly merge the upper and lower volumes of the Dao Scripture, yet unexpectedly discovered the ultimate body of the Demonic Clan, incidentally acquiring an Enlightenment Flower, and catching sight of the Klein Gate.

Now, he had arrived in the Flame Universe, finding the third large Dao Stele shard.

One had to admit, this was quite a surprise.

"Sect Leader, what should we do next?"

"I’ll check this large Dao Stele shard directly to see if it can be used."

"Okay."

Xue Rongqing waited at the side, as Ye Feng ascended into the air, gently touching the large Dao Stele shard with both hands, and performed the ancient secret technique taught by Yao Yue.

Buzz!

The entire large Dao Stele shard suddenly emitted a brilliant light, becoming increasingly dazzling, attracting the attention of the cultivators stationed nearby.

"What’s happening?"

"Why is the Dao Stele glowing?"

"Quick, go fetch the Ancestors!"

Dozens of Immortal Emperors surrounded the Dao Stele shard, the weakest being Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor Realm; they watched as the intricate array patterns on the surface were lit up one by one, full of astonishment.

At this moment, Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing discontinued their invisibility divine skills, revealing their true forms.

After the recent inspection, Ye Feng confirmed that this indeed was the third large Dao Stele shard.

Now, the three shards were gathered.

Once Yao Yue was summoned, the two of them could join forces to create a large spatial transference array capable of crossing worlds and traversing the Cosmic Sea.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt quite eager.

Of course, there was also a bit of a pity.

That was, the three large Dao Stele shards were locked in the current space, and even someone as powerful as Ye Feng couldn’t transfer this Dao Stele shard to the Twin Universe.

But, that no longer mattered.

After all, they had gathered all three large Dao Stele shards, and had also discovered the Klein Gate, pinpointing the Flame Universe’s coordinates, allowing free travel between the two universes.

Even though it was still somewhat inconvenient, it didn’t hinder them from shuttling back and forth between the two places, creating formations.

At this moment, the crowd noticed Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing.

"Look, there are people!"

"Who are you two? How dare you trespass in our Ancient Sky Tribe’s forbidden zone, courting death, are you?"

"Sound the alarm, surround them!"

The strongmen of the Ancient Sky Tribe questioned in a low voice, with the leading two Ninety-layered Immortal Emperors even being the first to unleash their powerful law pressures, like a prison trapping the two.

"Twin Universe, Ye Feng."

"Twin Universe, Xue Rongqing."

The two took turns introducing themselves.

"Twin Universe? My heavens, they’re not from our Flame Universe! They’re foreign enemies, the legendary Outer Realm Evil Spirits, quickly, suppress and kill them!"

The strongmen of the Ancient Sky Tribe were greatly alarmed.

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, there were as many as dozens of Immortal Emperors displaying various divine skills, with sharp sword glows, domineering saber lights, ancient beasts transformed by laws, and various mystical fogs, all rushing towards the two.

In their eyes, Outer Realm Evil Spirits were formidable enemies of the Flame Universe that must be killed.

Otherwise, they would become a calamity for the universe.

"Sect Leader, let me handle this!"

Xue Rongqing felt she couldn’t just be a decorative vase, so she stepped forward, her Ninety-Eighth-layered Immortal Emperor level cultivation aura fully spreading as she gently waved her white sleeves.

Countless white brilliance burst forth.

In that moment, she shone with a holy radiance.

The chaotic divine skills of the dozens of Immortal Emperors were completely swallowed by Xue Rongqing’s law brilliance, and then disintegrated.

The surrounding void instantly became deathly silent.

"Ninety-Eighth-layered Immortal Emperor!"

"This is a formidable enemy!"

"Why haven’t the Ancestors arrived yet?"

These people retreated like avoiding snakes and scorpions, not daring to stay anywhere near Xue Rongqing and Ye Feng, fearing they might accidentally be obliterated.

"Not bad." At this moment, Ye Feng complimented, satisfied with Xue Rongqing’s performance.

"Sect Leader, you’re flattering me." Xue Rongqing stuck out her tongue, appearing playful.

In the distant void.

Three figures were approaching, one being a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor with a middle-aged appearance, and the other two being aged black-robed elders, Ninety-Five-layered Immortal Emperors.

These were the three grand ancestors of the Ancient Sky Tribe.

The leader, the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, was the strongest Ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe, having lived for over a billion years, and was poised to win the Dao struggle of the next era in the Flame Universe.

By then, he would become a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable.

"Are you the Outer Realm Evil Spirits?" The Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor stared at Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing, discovering that Ye Feng’s cultivation was only Eighty-Eight-layered Immortal Emperor, while Xue Rongqing was Ninety-Eight-layered, and ultimately relaxed.

After all, he was a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor!

Moreover, with battle power "as high as" Five Stars King, the Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor believed that once the fight broke out, their side had a bigger chance of winning.

"We are from the Twin Universe, but we are not the Outer Realm Evil Spirits. The true Outer Realm Evil Spirits come from the Abyss Clan of the Cosmic Sea."

Ye Feng calmly explained.

"You insolent, merely an Eighty-Eight-layered Immortal Emperor, who are you to speak here?" A Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor glared at Ye Feng, scolding him unceremoniously.

Ye Feng was momentarily taken aback.

"Silence!"

But Xue Rongqing reacted swiftly, slapping the Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor away from a distance, then snuggled into Ye Feng’s arms, her eyes turning gentle.

The onlookers were all dumbfounded.

Xue Rongqing, with a cultivation of Ninety-Eight layers, actually adhered entirely to Ye Feng, who only had Eighty-Eight layers, like a clingy kitten, shocking everyone.

How on earth was this possible?

Could it be because Ye Feng is exceptionally skilled?

The Ancient Sky Tribe cultivators mused.

"Gasp! You are... the Moon Holy Body?!"

Just then, the Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor finally discerned Xue Rongqing’s physique, pointing at her, full of excitement.

"Correct." Xue Rongqing nodded.

Everyone in the Ancient Sky Tribe gasped.

"What, she’s truly a Moon Holy Body?"

"Oh my gosh!"

"Could it be that the prophecy has come true?"

Looking at Xue Rongqing, instead of the anticipated greed, their eyes were filled with shock and a subtle excitement. Then, with the Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor in the lead, dozens of Immortal Emperors all simultaneously knelt on the ground.

"Saint Ancestor above, please accept our bow!"

Voices of the Ancestors of the Ancient Sky Tribe were synchronized and full of respect, fearing any disrespect, as if they truly encountered a venerable ancestor.

"You all... what’s going on here?"

Xue Rongqing stiffened in Ye Feng’s embrace.

Even Ye Feng was stunned by this scene before him, having thought the two sides were about to erupt into a battle, but unexpectedly, the scene unfolded like this.
