The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 215: The Secret of the Abandoned Celestial Destiny

"I can’t believe such an existence is hidden in Tianjing! What’s more, none of us knew!"

Twelve and Thirteen looked serious, a deep sense of dread showing in their eyes.

Number One, however, appeared relaxed: "I originally thought with someone like Ye Xiaoyao, the Martial Arts Realm was chaotic enough, but had not expected such a terrifying presence to emerge now."

...

Meanwhile.

Ye Qingtian arrived at a place impenetrable by the Netherworld Forbidden Technique and looked up, surprised.

It was the Ye Family.

The Ye Family, the leading house of Tianjing’s four great families, had a grand and magnificent gate, with the words ’Ye Family’ inscribed with the strokes that could sweep away armies.

The two stone lions at the entrance exuded an aura of might, the Tianjing Ye Family radiating an unparalleled domineering atmosphere.

No wonder they are the leading family of Huaxia’s four great families.

"Let me see what’s going on?"

Standing in front of the Ye Family Manor, Ye Qingtian extended his consciousness over the entire estate.

"So they have set up an array formation!"

Ye Qingtian discovered that the Ye Family had erected a Grand Array.

"Hmm?"

Ye Qingtian’s brows furrowed suddenly, realizing that the Grand Array was no ordinary formation.

A master had used heaven-reaching means to set up this fate-seizing Grand Array over the Ye Family.

This array had been affecting the Ye Family’s fortunes, gradually severing their bloodline, even implicating women who married into the Ye Family.

Over time, anyone connected to the Ye Family was doomed to extinction.

It’s practically no different from being implicated in the extermination of nine generations.

An exceedingly evil and malicious Grand Array, completely aimed at destroying the Ye Family.

This array was set to utterly annihilate the Ye Family!

"To think someone could arrange such a formation, no wonder I couldn’t probe in earlier!"

Ye Qingtian exclaimed in shock.

The Grand Array was deeply formidable; Ye Qingtian estimated that few people in the world could break this formation.

Exaggerating a bit, not only could this formation not be broken, it was almost impossible to detect.

At least now, Ye Qingtian could assert that the Ye Family had surely not discovered this Grand Array.

"Haha, I understand now."

Ye Qingtian suddenly realized—when the First Spirit Master prophesied that he had an Abandoned Celestial Destiny, even the mighty Huaxia could be overturned, let alone the Ye Family.

Subsequent events in the Ye Family and his mother’s death.

All were related to this malicious Grand Array.

"Who exactly is the one setting up the array?"

Ye Qingtian’s expression gradually darkened, a powerful murderous intent accumulating.

He once again employed the Netherworld Forbidden Technique, trying to view past scenes of the Ye Family to identify the array’s creator.

But the Grand Array dated back hundreds of years; Ye Qingtian could not investigate further.

Initially, Ye Qingtian considered Huaxia’s First Spirit Master, Long Wuya.

But this Grand Array had existed far before, and certainly was not laid by Long Wuya, who likely lacked the capability.

Additionally, the Ye Family’s luck seemingly hadn’t suffered significant harm—second generation Ye Kuangfeng was a commercial overlord; third generation Ye Fengtian and Ye Shentian were Martial Arts Strong Persons; now Ye Zeyan had emerged even stronger.

On the surface, this Grand Array’s burden was entirely shouldered by Ye Qingtian alone.

Was the array indeed arranged for me?

Ye Qingtian’s eyes flickered, sensing the issue.

"No, someone must’ve discovered the Grand Array and directed it toward me alone, making me bear it!"

Though terrifying, the Grand Array wasn’t directly lethal; it subtly influenced, invisibly severing the Ye Family’s bloodline.

But it certainly wouldn’t act so quickly, especially manifesting effects within a year was impossible.

Ye Qingtian realized the sole explanation was someone controlling the array for him to endure, hence his mother’s immediate demise.

Yet, another question emerged—since the array always targeted him, why hadn’t he sensed it over the years?

No, that’s wrong!

The Celestial Demon Race of Demon Island.

Ye Qingtian suddenly considered why the Celestial Demon Race of Demon Island was annihilated?

Perhaps the Demon Island Race had been enduring the array for him all these years, unable to withstand it lately, thus exterminated.

"I will unearth each one of you!"

Ye Qingtian’s eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty killing intent, his body radiating a monstrous aura over the entire world.

"And the person who laid the arrays won’t escape either!"

Ye Qingtian’s anger was gradually intensifying.

He resolved that once he discovered the truth, and identified these people, he’d undoubtedly carry out a bloodbath.

"This array intending to baffle me is impossible!"

Ye Qingtian suddenly grasped at the void.

"Ugh..."

A miserable scream was heard, the array spirit, shaped like a demon, was seized by a large hand.

Amidst continual screams, the array spirit perished, followed by the array’s shattering.

The array influencing the Ye Family’s fate for centuries finally collapsed.

...

Every person in the Ye Family suddenly trembled at this moment, their bodies immediately feeling incredibly relaxed.

"Hmm? What’s happening?"

Ye Longkun and others were gathered in the hall, discussing Ye Fengtian’s matters.

Suddenly, each experienced this phenomenon, and each was dumbfounded, staring blankly at one another.

"Did any of you feel that just now?"

Ye Longkun asked, furrowing his brows.

"Yes! What’s going on?"

Ye Kuangfeng and others were completely puzzled.

Nevertheless, Ye Zeyan looked bewildered, utterly clueless about what had happened.

Right now, everyone was bewildered, and Ye Zeyan’s anomaly went unnoticed.

Deep within the ancestral land of the Ye Family, in a bamboo grove cabin, the elderly white-haired man, Ye Fengtian’s father, suddenly opened his eyes.

"The array has broken?"

The white-haired elder was thoroughly astonished, his eyes almost bulging out.

While the Ye Family members were discussing, an elderly figure arrived.

"Old Ancestor, why have you come?"

Seeing the elder, Ye Longkun and the others were utterly shocked.

"Did anyone come to the Ye Family just now?"

The elder asked.

"No one came to the Ye Family, Old Ancestor!"

Ye Kuangfeng replied.

"Go check if anyone is nearby or has visited!"

The white-haired elder ordered.

Ye Zeyan immediately went to handle the matter.

Soon he returned: "Master, I checked the surveillance around the Ye Family Manor. No one appeared."

"That’s peculiar, obviously it’s broken! Who did it after all?"

The elder exclaimed in surprise.

"Why is Old Ancestor so troubled?"

Ye Longkun and others were even more bewildered.

But the white-haired elder paid no heed, departing immediately.

In the bamboo grove outside the Ye Family’s ancestral land.

Ye Qingtian stood before a grave, watching silently.

It was his mother’s grave; back then, Ye Kuangfeng tirelessly fought to have her buried in the bamboo grove outside the Ye Family’s ancestral land.

By the state of the grave, it seemed long neglected.

"Hmm? Seems like someone?"

At this moment, the white-haired elder returned to the ancestral land and spotted someone standing in the bamboo grove.

The white-haired elder slowly approached, curious to see.

"Get lost!"

But suddenly a cold warning echoed, like a thunderclap amid a clear sky.
