He was swept out of the light and shadow by an invisible force, falling all the way down.

Yang Yan was able to see that he was falling from the sky.

He passed through layer after layer of clouds!

Beside him was that black bull with a broken horn!

The big black bull struggled but to no avail!

"It should be like me, swept away by the force," Yang Yan thought.

*He wasn't sure if he was dreaming or if it was a soul emergence, but regardless of which it was, he couldn't summon the power within his body from the beginning.*

But the black bull with a broken horn had initially been able to carry him flying and bring him into the light and shadow.

It must have been able to harness the power it had left, but now it was falling like him, unable to reverse course.

Clearly, it was just like Yang Yan, swept by the force, unable to help itself.

He didn't know how long he had been falling, but Yang Yan crashed into a valley.

The valley was filled with a mystical atmosphere, like a fairyland.

Trees, spirit grass, and spiritual medicine were everywhere, nearly covering the entire valley.

Thud!

The black bull with a broken horn also fell, deeply embedding itself into the earth.

He was fine, unlike the black bull, whose falling force embedded it into the earth as well.

Yang Yan easily stood up, feeling free from the binding force, and walked over.

The black bull with a broken horn jumped out of the pit in front of him and flew toward the sky again.

However, it was soon struck by a beam of light descending from above the valley.

It was again sent back into the valley, embedding into the earth.

The broken-horned black bull flew again, only to be shot down once more.

Once, again and again.

*He didn't know how much time had passed, but the black bull was already covered in wounds, unable to move or fly.*

Moo!

The black bull with a broken horn let out a sound towards the sky, then lay weakly on the ground.

Its body began to change, gradually shifting from flesh to stone.

Soon, its body completely solidified.

From a black bull with a broken horn, it became a black stone.

*If Yang Yan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought this stone was just a sculpture made to look like a black bull.*

Upon first glance, one might think it was a stone carved into the shape of a black bull.

Yang Yan approached the black bull with the broken horn and touched it with his hand.

The hard, iron-like texture confirmed that the once-flying black bull with a broken horn had truly become a stubborn stone.

Moo!

*Yang Yan seemed to hear the bellowing of the black bull with a broken horn.*

*The sound came continuously from within the stone.*

At that moment, the scene before him began to fade.

The black bull with a broken horn gradually disappeared, and the surrounding valley scene also vanished.

His figure seemed to blend into an invisible world, with the scene before him becoming increasingly blurred.

Until everything turned black in front of him, he finally stabilized.

"Back?" Yang Yan opened his eyes.

*Dreaming?*

*It was too real!*

*Even more real than when he had a soul emergence into the Evil World.*

*The sensation was in no way exaggerated!*

"Who was that person, able to exist within the light and shadow?" Yang Yan thought.

At first, he didn't remember where the light and shadow were, but later, he recalled.

It was after his all body supreme bone had elevated to a heavenly dao bone.

Within his bones, light and shadow flowed!

*The light and shadow were no ordinary existence.*

"Was it the heavenly dao?"

But it didn't seem to add up; if it was the heavenly dao,

*why could that old immortal enter, and why could the black bull with a broken horn also enter?*

"Hm?" Suddenly, Yang Yan felt something unusual.

*There was something strange about the center of his palm!*

He opened his hand, and to his surprise, on what was once a smooth palm,

at some unknown time, appeared the imprint of a bull.

It was a black bull with a broken horn!

Its body was lying still as though it were a stubborn stone.

Moo!

Yang Yan was shocked; he actually heard the sound of a cow mooing.

Only, the sound didn't come from the black bull with a broken horn imprinted on his palm.

Instead, it came from the sky, clearly ringing in his ears.

"Holy Emperor, you are awake!" Empress Ming He's voice came to his ears.

Yang Yan nodded.

"Awake, did you hear the sound of a cow?" he asked.

He wanted to confirm something.

"The sound of a cow? No," Empress Ming He replied confusedly.

Yang Yan understood.

*The mooing was something only he could hear.*

*There was no mistake about it!*

*All because of the imprint in his palm!*

"What I drank just now might be the last leaf.

And the sound of the cow, it was guiding me to go there!" Yang Yan thought to himself.

*It might not have been a dream, but rather the memory a bull left behind.*

"Why would the bull's memory appear within a leaf?"

*He couldn't figure it out,* probably not until he found that lying bull, would he know.

"What are you doing?" Yang Yan frowned.

He saw Empress Ming He removing his shoes and was surprised by her action!

Empress Ming He blushed, looking bashful.

"It's just... Yang Saint Emperor, don't you like it this way?"

Last time she saw Chen Sisi serving Yang Yan in this manner, Yang Yan seemed pleased, so she wanted to give it a try to please him.

After all, even Emperor Tianlu was extremely courteous to Yang Yan; if she could earn Yang Yan's support,

her son's position as Crown Prince would be more secure!

The prospect of him becoming the future Holy Emperor of the Primordial Sacred Dynasty would be soon!

*And since she had already been suppressed by Yang Yan, there was no escape for her.*

*Since she couldn't escape, why not go along with it!*

"Your taste is quite unusual!" Yang Yan said.

Empress Ming He smiled wryly.

*She also didn't want this, but she had no other choice!*

*Anywhere else, Yang Yan wouldn't allow her to touch!*

*Even if she gave him things, Yang Yan wouldn't accept them.*

*This was her only choice left!*

"Please give me a chance!" she pleaded.

Yang Yan had once said she had no chance!

Today, she brought the leaf, pleased Yang Yan, hoping to go further!

*To get it all in one go!*

*Otherwise, opportunities like these would be too hard to come by in the future!*

"In light of you getting the leaf for me, I shall give you a chance!" Yang Yan said.

Empress Ming He was delighted.

"Thank you, Holy Emperor!"

She was dressed in a phoenix robe, wearing a phoenix crown, and crawled to Yang Yan's feet.

Yang Yan didn't mind what Empress Ming He was doing; he kept his thoughts on the mooing sound from the sky.

The sound of the cow continued, intermittently.

"This mooing is extraordinary!"

Every time the sound of the cow came, Yang Yan felt he comprehended something!

*He hadn't discerned exactly what it was yet.*

About an hour later, the voice of King Ping Jian came from outside.

"Your Majesty, it is time for you to return to the Imperial Palace.

If you don't return, the palace will soon close!"

Empress Ming He looked up abruptly.

"I should be going back too!" Yang Yan said directly without waiting for Empress Ming He to say anything.

"It's my fault for not satisfying you!

Tomorrow, I shall go to your residence and serve you all day, ensuring your happiness." Empress Ming He said apologetically while helping Yang Yan put on his shoes.

"Very well."

Yang Yan stepped out of the sedan chair and left under King Ping Jian's watch.

"Escort me back!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

On that day, the news spread wildly that Yang Yan, as the Dongzhou Saint Emperor, was in control of the entire Dongzhou forces.

As this news shook the Central Continent, another piece of news emerged: Yang Yan was highly likely the genius with the Domineering the World Phenomenon!

Instantly, the Central Continent was in an uproar!

Every day, numerous major sects and factions visited the residence where Yang Yan stayed in the Primordial Sacred Dynasty.

There were also countless geniuses who came, trying to challenge Yang Yan to make a name for themselves!

However, Yang Yan remained behind closed doors until the seventh day.

A blue light descended from the sky, startling the major forces in the Central Continent, as well as all the geniuses from all over the world.

"Heaven has bestowed blessings, the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle has begun!"
