Chapter 387: Chapter 384 Breaking the Prohibition

"So, you think just this one prohibition can stop me after I’ve come all this way?"

Ye Xuan’s palm tightened, and then strands of Molten Lava Earth Core Fire diffused from within his palm, circling around it before he slowly pressed his palm against the crystal barrier.

Sssss...

The moment the flames touched the crystal barrier, wisps of blue smoke arose, and the invisible prohibition seemed to warp the very space itself.

Ye Xuan continued to pour his True Qi into the flames without pause, and the warping of the crystal barrier grew increasingly pronounced.

However, no matter how much the crystal warped, it never cracked, and even though the flames in Ye Xuan’s palm had reached an incredibly impassioned state, it was still to no avail.

While Ye Xuan was burning the crystal barrier with all his might using the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, the silver-haired girl who had been embroidering on the inside suddenly lifted her head. A hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes, and her gaze settled exactly on the distorted part of the crystal barrier.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s expression suddenly brightened with joy. It seemed Su Ying, who was sealed within, had noticed the distortion of the crystal barrier and realized something was amiss.

Originally, using the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, Ye Xuan’s True Qi was depleting severely, and he wouldn’t have been able to sustain it much longer, but now, seeing Su Ying walking towards him, he gritted his teeth and continued to urge the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, persevering through it.

In his line of sight, the silver-haired girl had reached the front of the crystal barrier. She then looked at the twisted barrier and slowly extended her hand, pressing it against the warped spot.

"Break for me!"

Ye Xuan’s eyes blazed, and the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire in his hand, with the convergence of his True Qi, formed a Fire Saber. With a fierce shout from Ye Xuan, he thrust the saber mightily into the crystal barrier.

The distortion of the barrier amplified instantly.

This was Ye Xuan giving it his all, yet the prohibition had still not been broken. However, in that instant, a silvery glow surged on the silver-haired girl’s hand, turning into a blade of light that cut through the twisted crystal.

Under the attack of these two blades of light, from the inside and outside, and with a "pu-chi" sound, the crystal barrier finally developed a crack.

Crack crack!

Once the crack appeared, it quickly spread throughout the entire crystal barrier, which then shattered into fragments.

With the crystal prohibition broken, the barrier between the two was completely gone. Ye Xuan and the silver-haired girl looked at each other, their gazes immediately landing on one another.

The silver-haired girl looked at Ye Xuan as if she had discovered a new continent because she couldn’t see anything outside the prohibition. Therefore, the moment the prohibition was broken, it was as if a person had suddenly appeared in front of her, and her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.

But the astonishment in her eyes lasted only for a blink before dispersing completely, because from Ye Xuan, a bloodline connection that resonated with hers was released. The moment this bloodline connection emerged, it almost caused a resonance within her own veins.

This connection was exceptionally close and could be felt almost tangibly.

"You... you’re Xuaner..."

The silver-haired girl’s beautiful eyes suddenly filled with excitement. She had guessed who Ye Xuan was, but when she had been captured and imprisoned in the Ice Prison, Ye Xuan had been only two or three years old. He had grown so much since then, naturally, she couldn’t recognize him.

After all, the appearance of an infant and that of an adult are vastly different. To say that he looked almost exactly like he did as a child would definitely be false. After twenty years, if it weren’t for the strong sensation from their bloodline connection, even a mother and son would not be able to recognize each other, let alone her.

"Mother."

Ye Xuan couldn’t help feeling moved. Though his soul was from the Heavenly Realm and not from this life’s Ye Xuan, the moment he saw the silver-haired girl, his body exuded an inner joy that shook uncontrollably, a feeling beyond his control.

Moreover, as Ye Xuan gradually accepted his identity in this life, and considering that he had been an orphan in his previous life, having a mother in this life made him extraordinarily happy.

"It’s so good you came here, you really did..."

The silver-haired girl cried tears of joy and immediately embraced Ye Xuan in her arms. For her, Ye Xuan’s arrival was something she had dreamt of day and night, yet it seemed unrealistic; in fact, whether he came to rescue her or not was ultimately immaterial as long as Ye Xuan was alive. However, imprisoned as she was, she knew nothing of the outside world and had no idea if Ye Xuan was alive or dead.

Allowing the other to hold him in an embrace, Ye Xuan stayed silent. He knew that this was a time when he probably had a lot to say, but in the end, perhaps saying nothing and just enjoying this warm feeling was the best choice.

"It’s wonderful, congratulations on the reunion of mother and child, a joyous occasion indeed."

The three Wolf Demons, witnessing this scene, also hurriedly cupped their fists towards Ye Xuan to offer their congratulations.

Although they knew Ye Xuan intended to find the Dragon Girl, they never imagined that she would turn out to be Ye Xuan’s mother. But this was no surprise, as only a monstrous mother could give birth to a monstrous son. No wonder Ye Xuan was so contrary to the heavens; it turns out he inherited the bloodline of the Dragon Girl.

They were very aware that the Dragon Girl, Su Ying, had the strongest bloodline among her generation on Sky Demon Mountain and was the most talented individual to emerge in nearly a hundred years. Unfortunately, she was not nobility within the Demon Dragon Clan but from a minor side branch, which is why she was subdued by the Demon Dragon Venerable.

This history, even those who were imprisoned in the Ice Prison, knew a bit about.

"You three have done a service by leading the way this time. Once we’re out of the prison, I will remove your soul marks and set you free."

Ye Xuan also looked towards the three Wolf Demons and said lightly.

"Thank you, my lord."

Upon hearing this, the Three Demons were overjoyed. Although as long as they harbored no ill will towards Ye Xuan, he would not harm them; everyone preferred to be free rather than under someone’s control.

"Xuaner, how did you end up here?"

On her first meeting with Ye Xuan, Su Ying also had many questions. When she left, he was but a child who had just learned to walk and talk. In just over a decade, Ye Xuan had managed to come here and break the prohibitions set by the Demon Dragon Venerable.

Anyone hearing such a tale might find it somewhat unbelievable.

Ye Xuan did not conceal anything and told her everything from start to finish. He had been through a lot, so many details were glossed over rather than explained in depth.

As for Su Ying, she had been sealed here all along. If another ten or eight years passed, it was very likely she would die trapped in this place. She had used a secret technique to survive under the tight seal and maintain the appearance of someone in her teens.

"My lord, this is not the place to talk. Maybe we should discuss further once we have left the Ice Prison."

The Three Demons, having waited for Ye Xuan to finish speaking and seeing that Su Ying wanted to ask more, couldn’t help interjecting. They didn’t want to stay a moment longer in this dreadful place. The mother and son could reminisce outside, there was no need to delay.

"Hmm, I also do not wish to stay here any longer."

Su Ying sighed deeply, her beautiful eyes also reflected a hint of indignation. Thinking of someone who had been imprisoned for more than a decade in such a place, even the most indifferent personality could not be without some resentment.

"Then let’s get out of here. Once out, we must turn Sky Demon Mountain upside down and make that old Demon Dragon Venerable taste his own medicine!"

Ye Xuan had long made up his mind; this time when they got out, they had to make the Demon Dragon Venerable pay. Currently, even though Su Ying’s cultivation was stuck at the level of a Half-step Demon Venerable, the moment they got out and utilized nature’s spiritual energy from outside, she would be able to break through to the level of a First Grade Demon Venerable instantly.

With Su Ying’s bloodline close to Holy-grade, coupled with the cultivation of a First Grade Demon Venerable, she was powerful enough to battle the Second Grade Demon Venerable Demon Dragon Venerable.

"I’m afraid it won’t be that simple."

However, hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Su Ying shook her head. Then, her eyes glinted sharply as she said, "If it were just the Demon Dragon Venerable, he would indeed pose little threat. But did you know that on Sky Demon Mountain, aside from the two publicly known Demon Venerables, there are also some ancient beings in seclusion? These individuals are the most terrifying presence on Sky Demon Mountain."

"Although I was only a Seventh Grade Demon King back then, not a single First Grade Demon Venerable could do anything to me. It was an ancient creature of the Demon Dragon Clan, a Supreme Elder, who captured me. If we intend to confront the Demon Dragon Venerable, that ancient creature will definitely not sit back and do nothing."

There was a hint of wariness in Su Ying’s eyes when she mentioned this ancient creature.

"So what do we do? Are we to continue enduring such grievances?"

Ye Xuan’s expression darkened; he was eager to gather forces and enter into a decisive battle with the Demon Dragon Venerable. He had waited a long time already, and now that he had finally rescued Su Ying, was he still supposed to continue lying low?

"There’s no other way."

Just as Su Ying replied as expected, her expression suddenly changed, as if she had thought of something. Then, her gaze turned towards the depths of the second-floor hall with a profound meaning, "Perhaps, we’re not completely without options."

"Oh?"

Hearing that, Ye Xuan’s expression shifted subtly; following Su Ying’s gaze, he also looked towards the depths of the ancient hall on the second floor. At the far end, there was clearly an ancient stone door that was firmly closed—the gate leading to the innermost, and final, third layer.
