Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 664 - 636: Great Emperor Xuanlong

"Do I know you?" Wang Xu asked, perplexed.

Wang Xu stared intently at Du Lu for a moment but couldn't connect him with anyone he had met before.

"You can't tell from my appearance because only my soul entered the Ganges Realm. After reshaping my body, I no longer look the same as before."

With a shift in space, Du Lu's figure retreated, and in the blink of an eye, he was millions of miles away from Wang Xu.

"Watch closely. Soon, you will know who I am." Du Lu smiled faintly.

He spread his arms, and a unique aura surged forth.

The world upheaved; the once brilliant clear sky suddenly turned gloomy. The murky clouds covered the entire ocean's sky, inducing fear just by witnessing it.

Du Lu closed his eyes, his black hair dancing wildly in the wind, and his blue robe flapping fiercely.

The ocean beneath his feet began to lose its calm, as if a cup of wine was being shaken by an invisible force!

Wang Xu still frowned, clearly unable to discern who Du Lu might be.

At that moment—

"Submit!"

Suddenly, Du Lu's eyes snapped open, and behind him, a massive soul apparition appeared!

The giant soul apparition's robes fluttered, appearing ethereal like a celestial being, its flowing white hair swaying gently in the breeze. Those dark golden eyes held unfathomable depth, as if all changes in the world were nothing but fleeting clouds of smoke, insignificant.

Above the soul apparition, a colossal millstone formed by immense soul power spanned the heavens and earth, rotating slowly. Even those in the Emperor Spirit Realm would tremble in fear from just a distant glance!

"You!!!!!!!!!"

Upon seeing this gigantic soul apparition, Wang Xu could no longer remain calm, his expression turning to extreme shock and astonishment!

"It's you! It's really... you!"

Wang Xu exclaimed in disbelief, his mouth agape. He had never been so astonished before. "How is it possible..."

Indeed, Wang Xu had once possessed this soul apparition!

"The Great Emperor of Profound Dragon!!!"

Wang Xu uttered the only name he could think of.

"It seems my guess was correct."

Du Lu smiled gently, "You, Tai Xu, are my successor."

The truth was fully unveiled!

Du Lu's true identity was none other than the Great Emperor of Profound Dragon, who left everything behind and departed the Kedan Chaos Cosmos alone back then!

"The Great Emperor of Profound Dragon! How can you be here? Aren't you already..." Wang Xu said.

"Already dead?"

Du Lu retracted his hands, returning to a composed demeanor. The previously stormy sky instantly calmed, the dark clouds dispersed, and gentle sunlight poured down once again. "The former me did indeed die."

"As for the current me, apart from the consciousness and thoughts deep within belonging to myself, the rest—body, appearance, power—are no longer me." Du Lu approached Wang Xu, "Even my soul was 'borrowed' from someone else."

Wang Xu forced himself to stay composed, taking a deep breath.

The Great Emperor of Profound Dragon!

He never anticipated encountering someone long presumed "dead" in the Ganges Realm!

"Come now, I know you have many questions for me, and I have many questions for you. Chaos... I miss my homeland so much."

Du Lu turned and entered the Black Death Green Demon Island. Recognizing Du Lu's identity, Wang Xu naturally had no more doubts and followed closely behind.

...

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother!"

As Wang Xu entered, he saw Wu Yuan and Fu Hong standing respectfully at the ends of a golden bed.

The two looked at Wang Xu with complex expressions before bowing their heads in complete silence.

"Curious, aren't you?"

Du Lu noticed the confusion in Wang Xu's eyes and smiled, "Their souls have been enslaved by me. What you see now are no longer the first and second senior brothers of Blade Seat, but two puppets."

Wang Xu was greatly shocked!

Soul Enslavement... truly a method of the Great Emperor of Profound Dragon!

Previously, at the Profound Dragon Ruins, to escape suffering, Wang Xu had to practice the Secret Technique "Zheng" left by the Great Emperor of Profound Dragon.

Ultimately, Wang Xu merged his own path with "Zheng" to finally break through the trials left by the Great Emperor of Profound Dragon, successfully obtaining the emperor's secret treasure.

It was also the Profound Dragon Ruins that bestowed incredible fortune upon Wang Xu, and "The Aspect" was what he obtained from the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection left by the Great Emperor of Profound Dragon, saving him from death numerous times.

"The Great Emperor of Profound Dragon, as far as I know, you were never a Devourer back then, and you didn't have the Chaos Devouring Fire!" Wang Xu solemnly asked, "Moreover, the Supreme Controllers said only Devourers below the Great Emperor Realm could pass through that vortex!"

Du Lu is the Profound Dragon Great Emperor; the leap in this connection left Wang Xu astounded.

There were so many unanswered questions, Wang Xu couldn't help but question the Profound Dragon Great Emperor.

"Supreme Controller? Hmph!"

Upon hearing the words "Supreme Controller," the face of the Profound Dragon Great Emperor instantly turned somber, a trace of hatred surfacing in his eyes, "You're right, I'm not the Devourer, nor do I have the qualification or ability to traverse the soul passage and arrive at the Ganges Realm."

"But I am a victim of the Supreme Controllers' plan, sharing with them an enmity as deep as the ocean!"

A murderous aura burst forth from the Profound Dragon Great Emperor.

"What exactly is going on here?" The words of the Profound Dragon Great Emperor made Wang Xu even more perplexed.

What kind of existence are the Supreme Controllers? If they truly wanted to persecute the Profound Dragon Great Emperor, a mere glance would be enough to kill him countless times!

"Let me tell you about the Supreme Controllers' 'Ganges Incident' plan. It is far from any so-called grand initiative to save the chaos; it was their ambition from the start to invade the Ganges Realm!"

These words caused Wang Xu's palm to tremble violently.

"Invade the Ganges Realm? How is that possible! Without the Seed of Truth, the chaotic beings cannot kill the Ganges beings; an invasion would be nothing but suicidal!" Wang Xu's inner world crumbled, unable to believe he was just a pawn under the Supreme Controllers!

"Indeed, without the Seed of Truth, chaotic beings cannot kill Ganges beings, and the imminent mass invasion of chaos by the Ganges beings is true as well; they did not lie to you about this!"

The Profound Dragon Great Emperor said sternly, "But their myriad attempts to have the Devourer enter the Ganges Realm to obtain the Seed of Truth are not merely for preventing the invasion of the Ganges beings. What they want is the entire Ganges Realm!"

"The chaos originates from the Ganges; this rumor you've probably heard, haven't you?"

"The Supreme Controllers exist within chaos, unable to set foot in the Ganges, which is tantamount to having the gates of paradise forever shut to them. They are now a group of discontented rulers, desperate enough to pry open the gates of paradise by any means, to seize paradise, to become the rulers of both the chaotic and the Ganges world!"

"Do you know how despairing I felt when 'True Cultivator', under the Supreme Controllers' orders, destroyed Bing'Er's homeland, devouring all the beings in that chaotic cosmos?"

The hatred in the eyes of the Profound Dragon Great Emperor burned fiercely, intensely, with the animosity rising bit by bit, causing Wang Xu to feel a chill.

True Cultivator...

Wang Xu knew this name.

The Supreme Controllers once told him that True Cultivator was the strongest among all Devourers, the one with the most potential to bring back the Seed of Truth.

Yet he never anticipated that the Supreme Controllers, in order to nurture their favored talent, would not hesitate to sacrifice other chaotic cosmos!

"Tai Xu, do you know now? Those Supreme Controllers are no different than the Eternal Immortal Emperors imprisoned in the Supreme Prison! Even more terrifying!"

Fury and hatred made the Profound Dragon Great Emperor's breathing somewhat rapid; the always calm and composed "Du Lu" had become a completely different person.

"Then how did you survive?" Wang Xu's mood also turned heavy.

With True Cultivator's might, witnessing the destruction of the chaotic cosmos, the Profound Dragon Great Emperor couldn't possibly have escaped this calamity.

"I was indeed devoured by True Cultivator, but my fate was better than anyone else's. Before heading to Bing'Er's chaotic cosmos, I obtained a treasure from a mysterious land—this treasure allowed a trace of my soul to remain indestructible, truly indestructible!" said the Profound Dragon Great Emperor.

A treasure that makes the soul indestructible!

Getting such a treasure, no wonder the Profound Dragon Great Emperor claimed to be lucky.

"An indestructible soul allowed me to merge into the Chaos Devouring Fire within True Cultivator's body, witnessing all he experienced and learning everything about True Cultivator, including his Chaos Devouring Fire."

The Profound Dragon Great Emperor continued, "Thus, when True Cultivator left the protection range of the Supreme Controllers and entered that soul passage, I struck when his soul was worn down to its weakest point!"

There was a glimmer of brilliance in the Profound Dragon Great Emperor's eyes, a hint of excitement rising.

Evidently, even now, he considered that his luckiest moment, bar none!

"So you successfully seized True Cultivator's soul and Chaos Devouring Fire, arriving at the Ganges Realm." Wang Xu had already guessed the outcome.

He shook his head.

The Supreme Controllers painstakingly groomed their most promising genius, yet halfway through, they got 'hijacked', completing the Profound Dragon Great Emperor instead.

"Back then, I knew chaotic cosmoses had lifespans. To survive, countless beings and Great Emperors would become desperate, willing to do anything. I was tired of such a world, just wanting to peacefully stay with Bing'Er, waiting for the end of the chaotic cosmos."

The hatred in the eyes of the Profound Dragon Great Emperor grew even more intense, "I gave up everything, leaving it to the outstanding successors, just to have a quiet life, to peacefully pass this life... but I was wrong, profoundly wrong from the start!"

Boom!

The Profound Dragon Great Emperor struck the ground with his palm, causing the entire Black Death Green Demon Island to collapse and submerge, leaving only him and Wang Xu standing silently on the sea's surface.

Wang Xu remained silent.

He could understand the current pain of the Profound Dragon Great Emperor, identical to how he felt back when he helplessly watched his closest loved ones die before his eyes.

"Tai Xu! Now you understand my pain, will you help me?"

The Profound Dragon Great Emperor's eyes were bloodshot, hatred making his words heavy.

"What can I help you with?" Wang Xu asked.

"The Seed of Truth!"

The Profound Dragon Great Emperor said, "As you can see, I have already obtained the power I once dreamed of, but even this power cannot allow me revenge. Only the Seed of Truth, only by obtaining it will my power become even stronger! Stronger than the Supreme Controllers, stronger than the Venerable, even stronger than that void Creator!"
