From ancient times until now, the number of Great Emperors that had appeared in the Star Boundary was not high. Because the capacity of the World Bottle was limited, in the same period, there would never be more than ten Great Emperors.
However, this was not a small number. After all, the Star Boundary had a long history. After countless years, an era was destroyed, an era rose, and a new generation was born.
However, in this generation of Great Emperors, there were only two whose strength far surpassed others. One of them was Heaven Devourer Wu Kuang who had single-handedly killed four Great Emperors in the battle between the Great Emperors in the Star Fragments Sea, while the other was the Passing of Time Great Emperor who had grasped the Time Laws.
Wu Kuang wasn’t dead, he was still alive, using his soul to enter Duan Hongchen’s body and merge with his soul. He was now free and unfettered, but the Passing of Time Great Emperor had long since been destroyed.
In terms, the Passing of Time Great Emperor's Dao was far more profound than Wu Kuang’s. The people of the Star Boundary had once said that if the Passing of Time Great Empeor and the Heaven Devourer Great Emperor were in the same generation, these two would definitely have a fierce battle, and it was impossible to determine who was stronger.
However, it was such an existence who had comprehended the mysteries of the Dao in the Outer Universe while he was in seclusion. After wandering around the Outer Universe for a few hundred years, he had died and only his Origin Treasure, Endless Hourglass, had returned.
How dangerous is the Outer Universe, what kind of danger was there that even the Passing of Time Great Emperor couldn’t resist?
In this vast world, there were three thousand great worlds. The Star Boundary was one of these great worlds, and the Demon Territory was another of these great worlds. When the Passing of Time Great Emperor traveled through these great worlds, what had he encountered? No one knew, not even Qiong Qi.
After the endless hourglass broke through the sky and returned, Qiong Qi was unable to suppress his grief. He wanted to come out of seclusion and avenge his old master, but he didn’t even know who his enemy was or where he was, so how could he take revenge? He could only bitterly guard the Passing of Time Temple and wait for the fated person to appear and pass down the mantle of the Great Emperor so that he wouldn’t fail to live up to his old master’s instructions before he left.
Saying so, Qiong Qi’s expression became somewhat guilty.
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and stared at him, “Old Qiong, you’re being too unkind!”
With Yang Xue’s intelligence, how could she not understand what Qiong Qi was feeling guilty about? Naturally, she also understood the meaning behind Yang Kai’s words. After obtaining the inheritance of the Passing of Time Great Emperor, Yang Xue had become a disciple of the Passing of Time Great Emperor, so it was only right for her to take revenge on her Honored Master, which was why Yang Kai had said that Old Qiong was being unkind. With a slight smile, she said, “Xue’er and Xiao’er being able to obtain Honored Master’s inheritance is both an opportunity and a blessing. Honored Master’s matters are our responsibility as disciples, Big Brother doesn’t need to act like this.”
Yang Kai frowned, but after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that the Passing of Time Great Emperor had fallen in the Outer Universe. Although Yang Xue and Yang Xiao had obtained the Great Emperor’s inheritance, if they wanted to take revenge for the Passing of Time Great Emperor, they would need to cultivate for many more years. At the very least, they would need to have the ability to travel as freely as the Passing of Time Great Emperor.
He didn’t know how long that would take, so there was no point in pestering him now.
“What happened later?” Yang Xue looked towards Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi shook his head, “There was no later. I thought that Old Master had died in the Outer Universe. When the Endless Hourglass returned, I also left the Passing of Time Temple to investigate, but I found nothing. Now it seems that Old Master’s remains have also returned to the Star Boundary, it’s just that this old servant wasn’t able to investigate thoroughly.”
If that wasn’t the case, where did the Wind Monarch obtain the skeleton of the Passing of Time Great Emperor?
As he spoke, Qiong Qi turned to look at the Wind Monarch while Yang Xue also turned to look at him. The matter of finding the remains of the Passing of Time Great Emperor was now up to the Wind Monarch.
While Yang Xue was talking with Yang Kai and Qiong Qi, her hands weren’t idle either. From time to time, she would turn back time so that the Wind Monarch wouldn’t be too seriously injured and die immediately.
To the Wind Monarch, this was a torture worse than death. Although Yang Xiao had not used his full strength, he had still managed to grasp the situation perfectly. Every time he had been hit, his life had been hanging by a thread and he had almost lost his life, but every time this happened, a mysterious light would shoot out from the young girl’s hand and an invisible force would pull him back from the gates of hell before he was beaten up by Yang Xiao again.
Wind Monarch had cultivated for so many years, but he had never thought that there would be such a vicious method to torture someone in this world. He had wandered the border between life and death several times, and the great fear and panic he felt from death had completely swallowed him up. This was truly a fate worse than death. Although he was a Pseudo Emperor, it was difficult for him to maintain his heart. At this moment, his body was trembling like a quail in winter, and his eyes were filled with fear as he stared at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao naturally heard what they were saying. At this moment, Yang Xiao stretched out his hand and grabbed Wind Monarch's collar, pulling him in front of him as he glared fiercely at him, “Whatever I ask you, you will answer. If you don’t answer, this Young Master will open your stomach and take out your heart, liver, spleen, and lungs one by one, then soak them in wine and let you eat them one by one. You’ve seen my Little Aunt’s methods, believe me, even if I dig out all of your organs, she can still let you live for thousands or even ten thousand years…”
The Wind Monarch’s face was swollen like a pig’s head, and his entire body was covered in large footprints. When Yang Xiao spoke, he couldn’t help thinking the scene of him eating his own internal organs, causing him to shiver and nod weakly.
So what if he was a Pseudo Emperor? After the unbearable torture broke through his psychological barrier, his performance was not much better.
“Where did you get that skeleton?” Yang Xiao cut straight to the chase.
Wind Monarch opened his mouth and spat out two words. Although his voice was soft, everyone in the hall heard him clearly.
He was referring to the East Sea!
The East Sea was vast, and there were many islands scattered about. There were also many Spirit Islands, and the most famous of them were naturally Dragon Island and Spirit Beast Island. However, this did not mean that there were no other Spirit Islands or Sects in the East Sea. On the contrary, there were many such sects and spirit islands, but they were all overshadowed by Dragon Island and Spirit Beast Island.
Three hundred thousand kilometers away from Spirit Beast Island, there was an island where there was a small Sect. From Sect Master to Disciple, there were only two to three hundred people.
There were countless such small Sects in the East Sea. The Sect had only been founded a few thousand years ago, but because it was located overseas and had abundant resources, it was able to thrive and survive. It had once encountered a crisis and was nearly destroyed.
The Wind Monarch was one of the disciples who had gone to such Sect. He had been born overseas and had been selected by an Elder on the Island to be accepted into the Sect. However, his aptitude for cultivation could only be described as mediocre. When he went to the Sect, the Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters who entered later than him all had cultivations far above his own. The Elders in the Sect didn’t have high expectations of him and naturally didn’t bother with him.
The Wind Monarch was quite relaxed. Every day, apart from studying, he would play around. He loved to dive, and his water affinity was also good. Before cultivating, he could hold his breath underwater for an incense stick’s worth of time and dive a hundred meters. After cultivating, he could easily dive thousands of meters into the sea.
The Great Emperor’s skeleton was something he had found deep in the sea when he was diving. At that time, he didn’t think much of it, but later he discovered that it was extraordinary.
However, he didn’t report this matter to the Sect and instead spent his free time playing with the skeleton. For some reason, after obtaining this skeleton, his cultivation had skyrocketed and his cultivation had soared.
However, no one had discovered this matter and only he knew about it, not even the Elder who had guided him into the Sect. Although he didn’t know the reason for this, he could vaguely guess that these changes were related to the skeleton and naturally regarded it as a precious treasure.
Gradually, his cultivation far exceeded others.
If that was all there was to it, it would have been fine, but something happened later, causing him to go crazy overnight and had a demon in his heart, slaughtering his entire family on the Island. After committing some evil deeds, he didn’t dare to stay for long and fled the East Sea, concealing his identity for many years.
With the invasion of the Demon Territory and the rise of the Demon Heavenly Dao, he had voluntarily surrendered, becoming one of the four Great Monarch Envoys under the Dao Master's command.
After playing with the remains of a Great Emperor for so many years and being a Pseudo Emperor master, he naturally saw the uniqueness of the remains. After entering the Demonic Heavenly Dao, he offered the remains to Night Shadow Great Emperor Can Ye.
How extraordinary was Can Ye? Being able to see through the origins of the Great Emperor’s remains at a glance, which is a good tribute to Wind Monarch.
Originally, Can Ye had planned to come here personally. Although he was a Great Emperor, in terms of reputation and strength, he was probably inferior to the Passing of Time Great Emperor, so he naturally cared a lot about the things of the Passing of Time Great Emperor.
However, before this, Can Ye had to guard the passage between the two worlds, so he had no time to spare. After Yang Kai returned from the Demon Territory and sealed the passage between the two worlds, the Demon Race’s situation would become even worse, so he couldn’t escape.
Left with no choice, he handed the skeleton back to the Wind Monarch and ordered him to take a trip.
Originally, everything had been silent, but who would have thought that a blind cat would run into a dead mouse and be ruined by Yang Kai. The Great Array had been destroyed and the Passing of Time Temple had disappeared into the Four Seasons Land. The Wind Monarch could only enter this place to refine the endless hourglasses and then use them to control the Passing of Time Temple.
What happened next was the life and death battle with Yang Kai. Even now, he still couldn’t understand how a mere Third-Order Emperor Realm master could fight him to the death, even provoking Yang Xiao and Yang Xue, even Qiong Qi…
The Wind Monarch felt like he had suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. Even if he were to die now, he would not be able to rest in peace.
After asking, Qiong Qi frowned, “Only one remains?”
The Wind Monarch replied weakly, “Only one!”
At this point, it was likely that the Wind Monarch could only say what he wanted to say. If he said he could obtain a single skeleton, then he should only have one.
“Have you ever go back to see it all these years?”
“Yes,” Wind Monarch coughed lightly, blood constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth, as if he was about to die at any moment, “Since I was able to see the remains of the Great Emperor, I naturally went back to investigate, but I didn’t find much.”
“Do you still remember that place?” Yang Xue asked.
The Wind Monarch nodded lightly.
“Take us with you,” Yang Xue stared at him. This matter was of great importance, so she and Yang Xiao had to personally make a trip there to feel at ease. Although the Wind Monarch couldn’t find any other remains, that didn’t mean she and Yang Xiao couldn’t. After all, they had received the inheritance of the Great Emperor, so they would naturally be able to sense it. If there were other Great Emperor remains in the depths of the sea, as long as they were within a certain range, they would definitely be able to discover them.
When one was under a roof, they had no choice but to lower their heads. The Wind Monarch naturally agreed.
