CHAPTER 1380: CHAPTER 1376: THE MEANING OF LOVE

"Elder Dong Feng, do you know what love is? Is it the ’love’ spoken of in the prophecy on the Black Character Stele?"

Though it seemed as if he was struggling immensely, Ye Tian persisted in speaking, and his words were absorbed by Elder Dong Feng, one by one.

However, Elder Dong Feng dismissed him, saying, "Love? As a god, how could one possibly care for such useless things?"

Yet Ye Tian retorted fiercely, "How could love be useless? Love is the most noble virtue and emotion in this world. If a person has no love, what difference is there between them and a stone? Elder Dong Feng, you are demeaning yourself as the ruler of the Black Hole Clan, yet you lack even the basic emotions. It’s truly pitiful for the people of the Black Hole Clan to have a ruler like you!

Without emotion, without love, you can never understand those who fight because of love! Those who fight because of love can burst forth with dozens or even thousands of times their battle power in battle! This is something people like you can never comprehend!"

Having already laid it all bare, Ye Tian’s emotions were slightly inflamed, and as he spoke passionately, tears welled up in his eyes!

This is love!

Fighting not for oneself, but fighting for others!

For the wife he loves most, Yun Xinyan, and his newborn daughter; for his companions from the Night King Hall, Heaven’s Gate, the Ye family, and the Annihilation Squad; for the 300,000 innocent civilians of South City, and the countless oppressed people of the Black Hole Clan!

Fighting for these people filled Ye Tian’s heart with warmth, and every time he found himself in desperate straits, a certain emotion surged in his heart, allowing him to revive his spirit and fight desperately against the enemy!

This is love, a noble quality that Elder Dong Feng, lofty and dehumanized, does not possess, an emotion he will never experience...

Unexpectedly, while battling Elder Dong Feng with a heart full of love, Ye Tian suddenly felt his power within elevate another notch, and the strength that was initially evenly matched with Elder Dong Feng’s suddenly surpassed his!

"What’s this? Why is my divine power being overwhelmed?"

Elder Dong Feng found it incredible, his voice beginning to tremble.

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly had an intuitive revelation!

"I see! The prophecy on the Black Character Stele!"

Ye Tian exclaimed at the critical moment, finally understanding the deepest meanings of the words on the Black Character Stele!

"Love is emotion, emotion is love! The fluctuation of emotion is always more powerful when stronger! Those lacking love in their hearts cannot comprehend this, only those who understand love can win this war!"

Ye Tian grew increasingly excited, and amidst his excitement, the power he released grew stronger!

This power went beyond merely fusing various powers into the ’Maha Infinity,’ but also included the latent force hidden within Ye Tian’s emotional excitement!

Power fused with power, the additive effects of power, all these forces together unbelievably eclipsed Elder Dong Feng’s power!

"How could it be? How could it be??"

Elder Dong Feng’s voice became blurred, unable to believe the situation before him.

From Elder Dong Feng’s standpoint, he simply could not understand why he was now at a disadvantage, why Ye Tian’s power was stronger than his?

This was only to be expected, for he himself lacked any emotion whatsoever. To him, everyone was merely an object for use, how could he then understand the so-called emotional fluctuations?

Although Elder Dong Feng possessed the bloodline of the Divine Race and obtained their powers, and though he could control his power and body through emotional fluctuations... unfortunately, it was merely an instinctive reaction, and in fact, Elder Dong Feng did not have the skill to wield divine power, which is why he was constrained by Ye Tian!

"Elder Dong Feng, you have never considered others, your heart is like a pool of stagnant water! Any fluctuations in your emotion are solely based on your likes and dislikes, yet no one can ever reach your heart! If someone like you insists on using the Power of Death, you may become the strongest martial artist, but right now, wielding divine power, you are without emotion, unworthy of possessing divine power! Thus, your defeat is inevitable!"

Ye Tian spoke fiercely, every word like needles piercing into Elder Dong Feng’s heart, causing him dread.

"What are you saying... spouting nonsense? Lofty gods do not need emotion..."

Although Elder Dong Feng still put up a desperate fight, his disadvantage in power became increasingly obvious, making all his arguments seem untenable...

No matter how one looked at it, the scales of victory in this war were already tilting in favor of Ye Tian!

"The so-called love is the best catalyst for power. Once you understand love, you can unleash power several times greater than your own strength! Elder Dong Feng, you don’t understand! You’ll never be able to understand! Thus, your defeat is inevitable!

When a martial artist understands love, the power they emit can be described as ’Maha Infinity’! This boundless power can destroy any enemy before it without reservation! Elder Dong Feng, now taste the power of love!"

Ye Tian roared, then pushed his power to its peak!

The powerful forces had already overshadowed the mighty divine power emanating from Elder Dong Feng, leaving him at a loss...

"What is this? This is impossible!"

Elder Dong Feng exclaimed incredulously. Transformed into a black cloud, he could still see the surroundings.

Indeed, powerful forces swirled around Ye Tian’s body, and it was not just that...

These chaotic forces intertwined to form an incredible, powerful combined force. More crucially, behind this force emerged countless figures.

It wasn’t just the figures of Daichong, Tian Qi, and Yun Xinyan injecting power into Ye Tian. There were also the figures of Ye Tian’s companions and the tens of thousands of citizens of South City...

"This... this is..."

Only then did Elder Dong Feng realize that the one fighting him wasn’t just Ye Tian, but everyone, countless enemies gradually consuming his consciousness.

"What’s going on? This is impossible... I, who should have become the king of the world... how could I be defeated by mere..."

Elder Dong Feng’s voice grew weaker, and so did his power.

Accompanied by a more fierce sound, Elder Dong Feng’s power completely vanished!

The Underground City of South City returned to calm once more, as if nothing had happened...

The sudden silence made Daichong, Tian Qi, and Yun Xinyan feel a bit unaccustomed. The three of them approached Ye Tian in surprise.

"Is Elder Dong Feng dead? Has his power and will completely vanished?"

"Yes! From the situation just now, it seems you’ve taken him down!"

"Ye Tian, can you tell me if that guy, Elder Dong Feng, is really dead?"

Daichong, Tian Qi, and Yun Xinyan repeatedly asked, while Ye Tian at this point found it difficult to even open his mouth to speak.

In the battle against Elder Dong Feng, I not only borrowed the technique "Wind and Cloud Combined, Maha Infinity" but also, at the final moment, elevated my emotions to the extreme!

This was a huge drain on my body and spirit, so even though I defeated Elder Dong Feng, I did not feel well myself. I relied on a sliver of willpower to maintain my consciousness; otherwise, I would’ve already fallen into a coma.

"I don’t know either... maybe... that guy isn’t dead... as long as there is evil in people’s hearts... Elder Dong Feng will be reborn..."

Ye Tian struggled to say, and seeing Ye Tian in such poor condition, Daichong, Tian Qi, and Yun Xinyan stopped questioning him and just silently watched.

"Xinyan... I succeeded..."

Ye Tian gently placed his hand on Yun Xinyan’s shoulder. After his victory, the first person he chose to share his emotions with was still his wife, Yun Xinyan.

Of course, at this moment, Ye Tian did not care whether Yun Xinyan was her first or second personality. He loved Yun Xinyan herself, and loved both different personalities.

"Ye Tian..."

Yun Xinyan blushed. She felt infinite warmth from Ye Tian, so she gently embraced Ye Tian.

"..."

Tian Qi silently watched Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan embrace, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

No matter how much she pined for Ye Tian, in the most critical moments, Ye Tian always thought of Yun Xinyan, his wife!

Facing such a Ye Tian, Tian Qi couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow. She could only silently turn away, not looking at Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan hugging.

Daichong also understood and turned away with Tian Qi. He didn’t want to be a third wheel to Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan...

Originally, it seemed that Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan needed to revel in each other’s presence a bit longer, but unexpectedly, once Yun Xinyan hugged Ye Tian, it was as though he found his resting place. Exhausted, he finally stopped pushing himself and slowly collapsed into Yun Xinyan’s arms.

"Ye Tian, you worked hard for this battle!"

Yun Xinyan quietly patted Ye Tian’s head, tears glistening in her eyes. This time, Ye Tian had gone all out to save everyone. He deserved everyone’s admiration!
