Chapter 783 Suspected Elder Yan
After so many years, Elder Yan finally appeared.
The long-missed figure was so familiar, yet carried a bit of unfamiliarity, suddenly appearing before him.
"Elder Yan."
Even with Ye Chen's calm nature, he couldn't help but exclaim in joy when he saw Elder Yan suddenly appear, his eyes slightly misty.
In the past, within the Starry Sky Land of the Heavenly Pass, Elder Yan suddenly disappeared without a trace, and even later, despite Ye Chen's thorough probing of the Ancient Ring, the Ancient Ring of Supreme Saint Emperor, he couldn't sense any presence of Elder Yan.
Only in the Dark Night Ancient City did the mysterious Supreme Saint Emperor Ring exhibit any unusual change, which was thought to require many experiences to eventually locate Elder Yan, unexpectedly, he appeared right in front of him just like that.
So sudden, yet so delightful, that it stirred Ye Chen's mental realm continuously.
However, there was a doubt in his heart: wasn't the Ancient Ring of Elder Yan in his own hand, how did Elder Yan appear?
Moreover, the Elder Yan before him wasn't as ethereal, appearing very real, and the clothes he wore seemed incredibly ancient.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yan turned, looking at Ye Chen, suddenly frowning: "Do you know me? I'm not called Elder Yan? Who exactly are you?"
Ye Chen was shocked looking at Elder Yan, what on earth did this mean? Had Elder Yan lost his memory?
"I am Ye Chen, I bought your ancient ring in Luofeng City, then you came out, haven't you forgotten?" Ye Chen urgently pursued.
But Elder Yan shook his head: "I don't know any Luofeng City, nor any Ye Chen, I have always been in this Chaos Sea, what are you saying?"
Ye Chen was utterly shocked, what on earth was happening? Could it be that the person in front of him was someone else but remarkably similar to Elder Yan?
But it can't be, even the original aura is identical, how could it be someone else?
He looked at the ancient ring in his hand, though it had been flickering ever since the arrival of this Elder Yan-like figure, that was all.
Ye Chen asked, "If you're not Elder Yan, who are you?"
"Who am I?"
Upon hearing the question, the elder who resembled Elder Yan suddenly had a look of confusion in his eyes, appeared quite bewildered, shaking his head repeatedly, murmuring to himself: "Who am I? Who exactly am I..."
He continuously questioned himself, the whole person was in a state of utter confusion.
Ye Chen naturally could see that this person who appeared like Elder Yan was truly in a state of bewilderment, as if he'd lost all his memories, lost himself.
Though this person might not be the real Elder Yan, the resemblance in appearance and aura was so close that Ye Chen knew that there must be a great connection even if he wasn't him.
"Boy, you say I am Elder Yan, do you know me?"
Suddenly, the Elder Yan-like figure stood up, looking at Ye Chen, his eyes shining, grabbing his arms, surprisingly grabbing them so painfully that his arms were crushed, and golden essence flowed out.
This greatly shocked Ye Chen, though his Dao Body was far from his true self, it still surpassed Holy Weapons, yet his arms were crushed just like that, astonishing him with the unimaginable power of this Elder Yan-like figure before him.
Ye Chen endured the excruciating pain and quickly escaped the control of the Elder Yan-like figure, shaking his head and saying, "I don't know you, but I know another you."
"You don't know me, but know another me?"
The Elder Yan-like figure frowned, appearing extremely confused, saying, "Who is the other me?"
"The other you is called Elder Yan, you look exactly like him, but you are not him," Ye Chen said.
"He is Elder Yan, then who am I?" the Elder Yan-like figure asked again.
"I don't know."
In that instant, the two fell into a silence, there was nothing to say between them.
After several breaths, Ye Chen took the initiative to ask: "Why are you in the Chaos Sea?"
"I don't know, I remember always being in this Chaos Sea."
"How many years have you been in the Chaos Sea?"
"I don't know, it seems like six thousand years have passed, perhaps even more."
The Elder Yan-like figure's answer greatly shocked Ye Chen, increasingly confirming that the person in front of him was definitely not Elder Yan.
Moreover, he had existed for not just six thousand years, what kind of existence was this, at the very least a Heavenly King.
"Aside from the Chaos Sea, have you been to any other place?" Ye Chen asked again.
"No," the Elder Yan-like figure replied, "I feel there's some sort of invisible guidance in this Chaos Sea, as if there's something here that can help me regain my memory, I've been searching for it."
"Did you find it?"
"No."
The Elder Yan-like figure's words were not beyond Ye Chen's expectations, although he wanted to ask what exactly it was, but now wasn't the time to ask. He suppressed the various thoughts in his mind, looked at the Black Bone Ancient Ship moving in the distance, remembered the words previously spoken by the Elder Yan-like figure, and asked, "Sir, dare I ask, does the Primordial Immortal Realm truly exist? What exactly is this so-called Slaughter Immortal Ship?"
"The Primordial Immortal Realm indeed exists, and this Slaughter Immortal Ship indeed slaughtered true immortals, for it is an invincible warship attacking the Immortal Realm."
When asked this question, the Elder Yan-like figure's eyes suddenly became much deeper, no longer confused in the slightest, and he uttered an earth-shattering secret.
Rumble——
In the highest place of the Heavenly Dome, there seemed to be the Forbidden Immortal Thunder resounding through eternity, warning not to speak carelessly.
But from afar, the Slaughter Immortal Ship approached with endless dark world, directly blocking everything, including the Forbidden Immortal Thunder.
Ye Chen was incredibly shocked, if someone else had said it, it would have been different, but since the Elder Yan-like figure personally spoke, and the Forbidden Immortal Thunder resonated, Ye Chen had reason to believe.
It must be said, this is a staggering fact, the Primordial Immortal Realm, thought a fabrication by the world, indeed exists.
Moreover, there once was such an invincible warship, attacking the Primordial Immortal Realm, truly slaughtering invincible immortals, blood staining the ship's body, with the shining words "Slaughter Immortal" over the heavens.
"Immortals, invincible in the Heavenly Universe, unmatched by Emperor or Emperor," Elder Yan spoke, "In the past, this Slaughter Immortal Ship indeed breached the Primordial Immortal Realm, but not by one person's power, it was the joint force of the entire universe, a powerful attack, but at the cost of the most tragic price."
Ye Chen knew that the price was the destruction of that universe, the shattering of Heavenly Stars, the fall of endless creatures, blood staining Cangqiong, even the True Dragon perished in battle.
"Burying a universe, why attack the Primordial Immortal Realm after all?" Ye Chen sighed softly.
"Seeking Dao and immortality, eternal immortality!" the Elder Yan-like figure said.
