--- Chapter 217 ---
"What happened to you two?!" Yu Long gazed at the unfamiliar faces before him.
Although Yu Long recognized their aura as his grandparents, he couldn't help but compare their old appearance to now.
"What, you have never seen your grandpa this cool before?" A tall yet lean man in a brown suit snorted.
He has a handsome face and a slightly tanned look, making him more of a noble than the gruff grandfather Yu Long used and always known. Beside him is a gorgeous woman in a green dress. Her face and fair skin could easily make other women jealous.
Yes, not only did Yu Long's grandparents regain their youth, but they also looked much better. At the very least, Yu Long couldn't recognize them at first glance.
Xu Sanshan brushed his hair casually, "I always look like this. So, I hide it because the Four Great Sacred Grounds would recognize it in a flash and chase after me, your Grandma, and Mother like hungry sharks."
"You have seen your Grandma's slightly younger appearance. Now, what you see is her in her peak glory. Well, she has not aged a bit since I met her."
"Nannan is always beautiful." Xu Sanshan threw a flirty look at his pretty wife.
"Ah, you~!" Xu Nannan threw a gentle jab at Xu Sanshan's shoulder. "Your sweet mouth hasn't changed a bit, Honey."
"Kukuku, we are free now and don't have to hide from those pesky holy lands."
Yu Long doesn't know what to feel about this. He was happy but also felt complicated because he could have destroyed the Four Great Sacred Grounds years ago.
Yes, he could give his grandparents peace of mind.
Yu Long shook his head bitterly and asked, "I assume you will bring me to the Ancestral Land now?"
"Yes, this is a must." Xu Sanshan sternly replied. "You have passed your coming of age already, but everything is still under control as long as you don't age past 20."
"Anyway, let's start moving."
"Wait, wait, can Xue'er and Yuyan come with us?" Yu Long stopped his overly excited grandfather.
Xu Sanshan finally realized the ladies' presence. He glanced at his wife and saw her nodding.
"They are going to be your wives sooner or later..." He grinned at Yu Long playfully. "Of course, they can go! They are part of our family!"
"Master's wife..." Yuyan couldn't help but blush.
On the other hand, Feng Xue'er held her warmed cheeks and mumbled, "I am going to be a bride soon. Hehe, I'm going to be Big Brother's bride."
Xu Nann giggled on the side because these girls had no idea what was coming for them later. As the partner of Eternal Night Royal Prince, they have a duty to uphold.
After some preparation, they left the Divine Phoenix Empire and went to the least expected side of the Profound Sky Continent, where Yu Long didn't expect the Ancestral Land to be.
Yes, they arrived at Yu Long's own beach resort.
"..." Yu Long watched his grandparents strolling under palm trees.
"Yeah, that was unexpected," Yuyan commented truthfully. She actually expected a super secret area where only Eternal Night Royal Family members could enter.
Feng Xue'er looked around the beach resort and squealed, "Woah, this place looks fun."
Xu Sanshan and Xu Nannan led them to the sea caves nearby, and the former started waving hands. A blue swirl appeared on the cave wall and revealed an entrance to a Secret Realm.
"Follow me." Xu Sanshan smirked at Yu Long.
"Don't be so smug, old man." Yu Long gave him a frown.
Xu Sanshan didn't mind the comeback and laughed at him instead.
As they entered the swirl, Yu Long and the two others felt a jolt in their bodies.
He froze on the spot and felt his entire blood boiling rapidly, which made his skin red like a cooked lobster.
"F-Forced bloodline activation." He said while repelling the sensation.
Feng Xue'er groaned a little, "Ah, it's so uncomfortable. I feel like ants tickling me."
Even Yuyan was affected by the Secret Realm's suppression. She gazed ahead and saw a vast land filled with dry grasses. In the sky, there is an eclipsed sun.
"This power... There is no mistake." The emerald phoenix recognized the eclipsed sun. "This power is Nirvana Devil Emperor's."
"It's Nirvana."
"But how could it be here?"
"He perished just like me in the Primordial Era of God."
"Nirvana Devil Emperor." Yu Long regained his bearing. He fully controlled his blood again.
"So, you're telling me that my ancestor has something to do with one of the Devil Emperors?"
Yuyan nodded, "Yes, Master."
"I always thought your bloodline power was weird. I mean. Even if your ancestors used effort to strengthen the Eternal Night Devil's bloodline by marrying another powerful bloodline, the result is unknown and sometimes becomes negative..."
"Think about it. The Eternal Night Royal Family's bloodline originated from the Eternal Night Devil, and they have no such a method."
Yuyan is right.
Yu Long has fought the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign, the father of Jin, the Eternal Night Royal Family, tricked into getting the Eternal Night Devil Clan's bloodline. Yet he has never used his bloodline power and doesn't have fusion-like characteristics.
The Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign or Ken's main prowess is Dark Profound Art and his powerful physique, that's it.
"Are you okay?" Yu Long tapped Feng Xue'er, and she finally could breathe properly.
Feng Xue'er bobbed her head, "Mm. Thank you, Big Brother."
They looked at each other and noticed that Xu Sanshan and Xu Nannan had gone from their sides.
Yu Long furrowed his brows and noticed something in the corner of his eyes, "Devil Beast."
"And many of them."
Yes, the same kind of Devil Beasts that exists at the bottom of Cloud's End Cliff. However, they seemed weaker and reflective of the combination realms of Yu Long and the two ladies.
"Leave them to me." Yuyan stepped up and summoned her Emerald Phoenix Flame.
Bursting with heat, Yuyan punched the air and sent a screeching phoenix-shaped attack at the incoming Devil Beasts.
BOOOOOOOOOM!!
An explosion occurred.
And weirdly, the surrounding area rapidly developed emerald rocks. Yes, this is one of Yuyan's flame effects.
Yu Long tried to extract the Devil Beast's essence and failed because they weren't real. No, more like a semi-tangible.
'I see...' Yu Long looked up at the eclipsed sun in the sky.
"Teacher, more beasts are coming!" Feng Xue'er alerted Yuyan.
Yuyan's eyes flashed, and she sent another wave of attacks, destroying the Devil Beasts.
As Yuyan wanted to attack the Devil Beasts more, Yu Long stopped her and pointed at the eclipsed sun.
"Attack that."
"Okay." Yuyan trusted Yu Long with everything and summoned a hotter flame.
She snapped her finger, changing the flame's shape into a long green spear with a fiery aura.
"Go!" Yuyan shouted, releasing a powerful attack that could evaporate the surrounding sea around the Profound Sky Continent to the eclipsed sun.
Swoosh!
Green flash skipped the gloomy sky and stabbed the target.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Shockwaves shook the secret realm.
Yu Long embraced Feng Xue'er and waited patiently, noticing the sun crumbled like glass.
DING!
A bell rang in the secret realm.
The realm transformed and revealed a massive throne room of unknown stones with ten unique thrones.
Yu Long, Yuyan, and Feng Xue'er found themselves in the center of the room while nine people stared at them in great interest.
"Hoho, so this is my great-grandson? He's such an interesting young man indeed." Said a white-haired man with a grizzly beard. He looks similar to Xu Sanshan's, except for the hair color.
"He's our great descendant, Tiannan." Said the mysterious person on the first and largest throne.
"Don't be possessive because he would be our greatest hope."
"Yu Long, you might be confused about who we were."
"We are-!"
"Let me guess, you guys are the former Princes and patriarchs of the Eternal Night Royal Family." Yu Long interrupted with a smile.
"Well..." The people on the thrones don't know what to say.
"Hehe, I already said that Yu Long is a smart child. He can connect the dots easily." Xu Sanshan's laughter echoed in the throne room.
Yu Long glanced at Xu Sanshan and teased, "My smartness comes from my Grandma."
"Y-You!" Xu Sanshan grumbled at him in return.
"Hahaha~! He's also cheeky like the rest of us." On the second throne, a person is giggling like a child.
Yu Long gazed at them and crossed his arms, "So... What do you guys want from me?"
"Before that. Let me introduce myself first." Said the person on the first throne. After he unveiled the mysterious mist, Yu Long could see that he was a black-haired man in his early twenties, wearing a white royal robe and a dark crown.
"My name is Ye Xiu."
"Otherwise known as Lord Grim, the Second Eternal Night King."
"I'm also your ancestor and the first initiator of the Strongest Warrior Plan."
"Yu Long, you're here because the fate of the Primal Chaos Dimension was at stake. And only you can solve it."
"Yes, Yu Long."
"You're going to-! No, you must become this world's savior!"
