Chapter 1024: Can’t Come Down? I’ll Help You!

The moment Ye Chen entered the Yao family grounds, he sensed his senior sister's aura. He immediately charged in that direction.

However, in the next instant, a terrifying divine might swept out. Over a thousand formless and traceless beams of void light shot toward him with murderous intent.

The attacker did not reveal himself. It was as if he had dissolved into the formless heavens and earth, leaving behind not a single trace.

Feeling the void lights surging toward him with killing intent, Ye Chen didn't even bother to move. He allowed the beams to crash into him.

In an instant, endless divine light slammed against his body. Terrifying rumbling sounds echoed throughout the entire Yao family. The power of an immortal artifact was horrifying.

In mere moments, another group of low-level Yao family cultivators was shaken to death. Yet Ye Chen, standing at the center of the explosion, remained completely calm. Even as he took the terrifying void lights head-on, his physical body showed not the slightest sign of damage. It was as if nothing more than harmless raindrops had fallen on him.

Hidden within the void and wrapped in the protection of the Void Mirror, the Yao family's quasi-immortal widened his eyes in utter disbelief as he stared ahead. Although he was a weakling who could only barely activate thirty percent of the Void Mirror's power, it was still an immortal artifact. Even a Sacred Body would find it difficult to withstand such an attack.

Yet the Heavenly Emperor's heir had simply stood there without moving and blocked it directly?

At this moment, the Yao family's quasi-immortal trembled even harder.

At the same time, chaotic light flickered in Ye Chen's eyes. As if piercing through countless layers of void, he looked straight toward the quasi-immortal's location. A cold smile curved his lips. "Found you."

In the next instant, Ye Chen threw a punch.

The Yao family's quasi-immortal felt his heart race. Only the Void Mirror in his hand gave him any sense of security.

The Void Mirror could stack over a thousand layers of void to protect its wielder. With it, he could ignore any spatial lockdown and escape instantly. No matter how terrifying the Heavenly Emperor's heir was, he wouldn't die. He only needed to stall for a short while. Once the True Immortal Ancestor's soul descended, the one who would die would be the Heavenly Emperor's heir. The advantage was on his side!

However, the next moment, his expression froze. The thousand layers of void shattered like paper in front of Ye Chen's fist. The layers began to crack and collapse even before the punch fully arrived. When the fist force reached him, the void was pierced and dissolved at an unimaginable speed.

The quasi-immortal shuddered. Although he had expected the Heavenly Emperor's heir to be terrifyingly strong, only now, standing directly against him, did he realize that Ye Chen was even more frightening than he had imagined.

The Heavenly Emperor's heir had already been invincible at the Great Emperor realm. What about now, at the peak of the quasi-immortal realm? Could he really stall him with the Void Mirror?

At this moment, the quasi-immortal felt the urge to retreat. He wanted to escape with the immortal artifact and hide in any corner of the world. He would only come out after the Heavenly Emperor's heir had fallen or successfully ascended to immortality. As for the Yao family, he could no longer care about them.

However, the moment he activated the Void Mirror and tried to teleport away, he discovered something horrifying. Divine light shone from the mirror and its divine patterns flowed, yet it could not shake the surrounding void in the slightest. He was completely unable to leave.

How was this possible? The Heavenly Emperor's heir had locked down the void so tightly that even an immortal artifact could not break through?

His mouth fell open as he screamed in despair, "Ye Chen, this has nothing to do with me… It was the old quasi-immortal who did this for the Divine Son to enter the Immortal Realm—"

But Ye Chen merely looked at him indifferently. The fist force pierced through all barriers. The power of reincarnation stirred, and before the quasi-immortal could finish speaking, he exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

His divine soul and origin were completely annihilated. Even the Void Mirror dimmed under that single punch. Countless cracks appeared across its surface, its spirituality greatly damaged. It was now half-ruined.

At this moment, the entire Yao family fell deathly silent. Yao Gu and the elder trembled violently. This was the first time they had personally witnessed the true terror of the Heavenly Emperor's heir. With just one strike, a quasi-immortal had fallen and an immortal artifact had been crippled.

The shock and despair they felt were overwhelming, but even stronger was their fury. What exactly had their clan been doing? How insane were the clan leader and the Divine Son?

They had dared to touch the woman of the Heavenly Emperor's heir, risking the wrath of the entire world. Until today, the Heavenly Emperor's heir had never destroyed any major power. Even when the Alkaid Holy Land's Holy Master and the others had fled, he had not pursued them to the bitter end.

But now, looking at Ye Chen, they had a sinking feeling that he might truly intend to wipe out the entire Yao family. This filled them with both terror and rage. What in the world had the clan leader done?

Above the sky, Ye Chen waved his hand. The core area of the Yao family was ripped open directly.

Inside, the Yao family clan leader, the Divine Son, and several great saint realm elders looked up at Ye Chen, their faces filled with utter despair.

They had actually taken Ye Chen very seriously. They truly understood how terrifying he was. But they had never imagined he could be this terrifying.

Their quasi-immortal had gone out with an immortal artifact capable of attacking, defending, and escaping, yet he had not lasted even ten breaths before his body was destroyed and his soul completely annihilated. And now, the Heavenly Emperor's heir had arrived.

The True Immortal's soul, however, had yet to descend. All their plans had turned to nothing. The only path left for them was death.

The most emotional person present was undoubtedly Yao Xi. She had thought she was doomed to die. She had never expected her junior brother to come. The restrictions on her body had already been removed.

She looked up at Ye Chen, who was holding a blood blade, her eyes filled with infatuation. In this life-and-death moment, the scene of the man she loved charging over with an immortal weapon in hand struck her heart with overwhelming force.

"Junior brother…"

Thousands of words surged in her heart, yet Yao Xi could only utter these two words. Ye Chen did not rush to kill. He simply swept his cold gaze across everyone in the hall. The moment his eyes fell on them, the Yao family members felt their entire bodies turn ice-cold.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen sent an array disc soaring into the sky. In an instant, countless streams of light shot out in all directions, drawing arcs across the sky and completely sealing off the entire Yao family.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the Yao family members sank once more. They all understood that the Heavenly Emperor's heir was truly furious this time. He had no intention of letting even a single Yao family member escape. This attitude made their despair even deeper.

Ye Chen paid no attention to any of the Yao family members. He calmly descended and pulled Yao Xi into his arms. Having found support, Yao Xi's body instantly softened. The tension that had gripped her heart finally loosened, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Junior brother… why did you come to save me?"

Yao Xi let the tears fall freely as she looked up at Ye Chen with dazed eyes. The Yao family members also couldn't help turning their heads to look. This was the question they couldn't understand either. Why had the Heavenly Emperor's heir come today?

On Ye Chen's side, seeing that Yao Xi was unharmed, he finally relaxed. He gently raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face and spoke softly, "I dreamed of you, so I came to find you."

Upon hearing this, Yao Xi's eyes reddened once more. The Yao family members widened their eyes in disbelief. If they were defeated because of such a reason, it would be utterly ridiculous.

However, Ye Chen ignored them completely. His gaze shifted to the grand formation in the center of the hall, where something was clearly attempting to descend into this world. But the crack was still not large enough.

A cold smile curved at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth as he said indifferently, "So this is what gave you the courage to disregard me and lay hands on Yao Xi? Struggling so much just to cross a realm? Let me help you."

In the next moment, Ye Chen threw a punch directly at the crack. Infinite chaotic power surged forth, forcibly widening the crack…
