"Little beauties, stop crying, he is dead!" The weak voice of the Northern Sovereign Emperor contained a sense of affirmation, "And you all now belong to me..."
Before the Northern Sovereign Emperor could finish speaking, Xue Ziyan, who had been crying uncontrollably, suddenly noticed something. She widened her tear-filled eyes and joyfully looked up at the sky, "Tan Yun is not dead, he heard our words!"
Upon hearing this, the other women also looked up at the sky.
In the next moment, amidst the overwhelming joy of the women and the horrified, disbelieving gaze of the Northern Sovereign Emperor, a milky white sphere, radiating a rich vitality, appeared in the sky.
"That is the Source of Light invoked by my husband; he really is not dead!" Shen Subing's tearful eyes revealed excitement from deep within her heart.
With a "pop," the Source of Light shattered, and the milky light immediately enveloped Tan Yun.
As the women rejoiced with tears of happiness, Tan Yun's lost arm began to grow back rapidly, like bamboo shoots after rain, while the flesh and blood he had lost were also quickly regenerating.
In just a few breaths, not only was Tan Yun completely restored, but the ancestral power he had consumed in the spirit pool was also replenished, returning to its peak state.
"This remnant not only can summon the Spatial Prison and reverse time but can also invoke the Source of Light!"
The Northern Sovereign Emperor was extremely shocked, an ominous premonition rising within him.
He understood very well that after invoking the Source of Light, Tan Yun would return to his peak state, while he himself was heavily injured and had only one-tenth of his ancestral power left in the spirit pool. He faced three choices.
First, take an elixir to restore his ancestral power to thirty percent, then use the ninth ultimate technique of the ancient divine blade technique.
The consequence would be that he would kill Tan Yun, but with his ancestral power exhausted, he wouldn’t be able to escape back to the Northern Ancestral City in time and would be killed by Xiao Zixi, who was at the first layer of the supreme dao ancestor realm.
Second, he could quickly capture Tan Yun's wife as leverage to threaten him into submission.
But the Northern Sovereign Emperor worried that if Tan Yun did not care for his wife's safety and killed him, what would he do then?
The third option was to escape quickly into the Northern Ancestral City, recover from his injuries, and then kill Tan Yun!
In a flash of lightning, these three choices raced through the mind of the Northern Sovereign Emperor. He thought, "It is said that after invoking time reversal, Spatial Prison, and Source of Light, the one who invokes it cannot use it again for a year."
"For safety's sake, it might be better to take the elixir, let the ancestral power in the spirit pool restore to thirty percent, then escape into the city. After recovering in the Time-Space Magic Treasure, I will certainly be able to kill Tan Yun!"
After confirming his decision, the Northern Sovereign Emperor flipped his right hand, revealing an elixir, and as he swallowed it, he soared into the sky, turning around to flee toward the Northern Ancestral City while shouting at the City Defense Commander, "Quickly open the city gate, hurry!!"
It was not that the Northern Sovereign Emperor couldn’t break the City Defense Formation, but without the token, he needed at least a moment of time. However, in a moment, Tan Yun could catch up.
So he felt anxious.
"Understood!" The City Defense Commander hurriedly took out his identity token and was about to open the city gate when suddenly, Tan Yun, towering at a height of fifty-six thousand zhang, soared into the air from the ground. He ignored the greetings from Shen Subing and the others and used the primordial divine step to chase after the Northern Sovereign Emperor, roaring, "City Defense Commander, listen, as long as you don’t open the city gate, I can kill the Northern Sovereign Emperor!"
"The Northern Sovereign Emperor is ungrateful; he not only cruelly killed Ziyan's father, Xiao En, but also betrayed and brutally murdered my grandfather, the eternal dao emperor, and countless Immortal Ancient Divine Race. If you still have a shred of conscience, don’t open the city gate!"
