577: Chapter 237: Great Yi Reappears_10 577: Chapter 237: Great Yi Reappears_10 At that moment, he realized how ridiculous his claim of having overcome his psychological shadows was.
The illusionary realm was just that, an illusion, which made him feel he had eliminated the shadows in his Dao heart.
But when he truly faced that person, he felt that everything about the illusionary realm was deceptive.
The so-called elimination of shadows was simply a joke.
Now, his body was stiff, unable to move even slightly.
“Yi.”
Inside the Moon Palace, a stunningly beautiful immortal looked towards Great Yi, her eyes brimming with tears.
Lord Taiyin glanced at Heng’e and sighed, “He is already burnt out.
This arrow, once released, will disperse for good, now nothing more than a lingering soul.”
Heng’e trembled, a look of grievance appearing on her face.
“You told me to wait for you, that one day you would take me away from the Moon Palace, so why is it that upon our reunion, it is a permanent farewell?”
Great Yi seemed to hear Heng’e’s words, he looked up at the Moon Palace and revealed a faint smile.
The next moment, his image drastically changed, from an elderly man to a young man with an exceptional heroic bearing.
His rugged yet well-defined features, muscles prominently bulging, carried a strong masculine aura.
“With this final arrow, I will execute the Tenth Sun, from now on the sun shall have its own path, uninfluenced by living beings, forever illuminating the lives of my Human Race.”
He released the bowstring, at that moment, Great Yi himself turned into specks of light, merging into that one arrow.
“Whoosh.”
The arrow light pierced through the heavens and the earth, pulling up a Divine Rainbow, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and even the Nine Netherworlds were lit by this arrow’s light, gaining brightness.
Even the Great Heavenly Venerate squinted, unable to open his eyes from the brilliance.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow panicked, sensing the approach of death.
That arrow, unstoppable, exploded with a soul-deep terror.
Everyone watched this arrow, its utmost brilliance, even the Great Heavenly Venerate felt terrified, not daring to face this arrow.
The Tenth Prince was in peril.
The Queen Mother and others reacted immediately, trying to stop this arrow.
It was clear to them that this arrow had terrified the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow to the extreme, leaving him with no courage to resist.
If this arrow were allowed to strike, even if not killed, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow would be severely injured.
Even the Queen Mother hadn’t expected that Great Yi was not actually dead.
Not only that, he had, in later ages, with his lingering soul, shot an arrow, posing a deadly threat to the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
As the arrow fell, even the Queen Mother and others felt its terror.
Three powerful beings joined forces to intercept this arrow.
But, this arrow, as if transcending time and space, was immensely terrifying, passing through their attacks and striking the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow directly.
The Queen Mother and others’ expressions changed, immediately realizing something was wrong.
This arrow deliberately targeted the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, and even they could not stop it.
By then it was too late to attempt a second interception.
The arrow light hit the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, causing him to explode.
Everyone was horrified; was this the majesty of the God of Archery?
The mighty Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, as strong as Shao Siming and the others.
But, under Great Yi’s single strike, he exploded directly.
Such an arrow, who in the world could withstand it?
Had the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow died?
Everyone was silent, watching the scene unfold, unsure of what to say.
“Great Yi.”
Above the Moon Palace, Heng’e wept, overwhelmed with sorrow.
Great Yi’s lingering soul, having killed the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, seemed to have fulfilled his mission and vanished from the world.
One arrow, a resounding legend.
Just then, a monumental figure emerged, emitting an aura of unrivaled supremacy.
The Queen Mother and others were stunned, looking at the flesh of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, which had formed an illusion from his blood.
Emperor Jun.
His gaze was icy, his body radiating light, regathering those pieces of flesh, and then reformed into the appearance of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
Afterward, Emperor Jun scoffed, “Great Yi, I always knew you were not dead, wanting to kill my tenth son, so I had already prepared a countermeasure for today’s calamity.
I just didn’t expect you to endure until now.”
This was a Divine Thought of Emperor Jun, along with a tactic of Emperor Jun to protect the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, ensuring his immortality.
Everyone was somewhat astonished, no one had expected that Emperor Jun had preemptively arranged a tactic just to protect his own son.
Although the Great God Great Yi had been patient for such a long time and only took action today, he eventually failed.
Looking at the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow with a compassionate gaze, though the Tenth Son was still alive, his injuries were still very severe.
Emperor Jun’s gaze fell on the Queen Mother of the West, and he said indifferently, “This child of mine, I ask you to take care of him for the time being.
When we return in the future, there will be a great reward.”
The Queen Mother of the West looked deeply at Emperor Jun and then said, “Of course, just now the lack of careful attention nearly resulted in the Tenth Prince’s death; it was our negligence.
Please do not blame us, Heavenly Emperor.”
Emperor Jun smiled faintly, “Of course not, what happened just now was a tribulation ordained by fate, bound to be suffered sooner or later, and unavoidable at any time.”
Only then did the Queen Mother of the West show a smile.
Emperor Jun said lightly, “My son’s deadly tribulation has passed.
From now on, he will be as free as a dragon in the ocean or a bird in the forest, free to roam this world.”
At this point, Emperor Jun’s eyes turned toward the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven, and he smiled faintly, saying, “Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate, Lord Taishang, Lingbao Dao Venerate, wait for me, I will be back soon.”
The immortals of the Three Realms were astounded; the Ancient Heavenly Emperor indeed held imposing authority, daring to directly challenge The Three Pure Ones.
No one knew whether The Three Pure Ones would care to respond, given their strength and status.
Even the so-called supreme Heavenly Emperor could not compare with them.
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate remained silent; Lingbao Dao Venerate did not respond.
But Lord Taishang sneered, saying, “Wait for what?
To slap you to death?
Emperor Jun, do not be arrogant with me, otherwise I will kill your son right now.”
Suddenly, Emperor Jun’s expression froze,
He had not expected that The Three Pure Ones would threaten his own son’s life.
He really wanted to retort angrily,
But considering Lord Taishang’s style, Emperor Jun truly did not dare.
Lord Taishang was famously a man of his word; if he really did slap the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow to death, Emperor Jun would have no one to cry to.
“Lord Taishang, could you please act in a manner befitting an elder, so many years have passed, and you still act so stubborn and rascally.”
Emperor Jun said angrily.
Lord Taishang smiled faintly, saying, “I once had a disciple who said, ‘Repay grievance with virtue, what then is the repayment for virtue?’ If you dare to act arrogantly with me, I will give it right back to you; if I can’t get to you now, I’ll get to your son.
What can you do about it?”
The living beings of the Three Realms: “…”
Lord Taishang’s frankness left people speechless.
And yet, everyone felt that what he said made quite some sense.
If he can’t get you, he’ll get your son, it’s just that simple.
“Cough cough, dear friend, please mind your image.”
The Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate and Lingbao Dao Venerate both communicated telepathically, clearly feeling a bit embarrassed.
If Lord Taishang continued to create such a stir, the authority of the The Three Pure Ones would be diminished.
For higher-ups, maintaining a strong authority requires not only great power but also a strong sense of mystery.
Sometimes the unknown is the most terrifying aspect; if the people of the Three Realms understood them, even if their power was immense, the beings of the Three Realms might not necessarily hold them in awe.
“Agreed.”
Lord Taishang responded.
Emperor Jun took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
He snorted coldly and eventually said nothing more, transforming into specks of starlight and disappearing.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow did not die, but his vital energy was severely wounded.
The Queen Mother of the West and others breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly fed the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow an elixir to help him heal.
Three days later, Great Emperor Ziwei planned to move against the Court of Ancient Gods.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow was vital to their strength and could not afford any mishaps.
If they were without the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, the Court of Ancient Gods would be even more disadvantaged.
“What a pity, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow did not die.
Emperor Jun, that old thing, really dotes on his son, to have laid a tactic on him in advance.”
Sun Wukong exclaimed, somewhat ruefully.
If not for Emperor Jun’s tactic, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow would already be dead.
“The most frightening thing is another statement of Emperor Jun, saying he was about to return.”
Yang Jian said gravely.
Sun Wukong sneered, his face full of disdain, “Afraid of him?
Hardly.”
Just then, within Kunlun, a divine light burst through the heavens and earth; the Sun Shooting Divine Bow revived, and then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared.
Many powerful beings within the Three Realms were slightly taken aback, then quickly pursued.
That was the treasure of the Great God Great Yi, and nobody expected it to be in Kunlun.
