Even someone as calm as Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions upon hearing this.

Although he had already received some of the Emperor Supreme's inheritance, such as the inheritance of the Combat Saint Lineage, and even obtained the Forbidden Divine Power of the Combat Saint Ancestor, which is considered one of the most powerful inheritances in the world, the Emperor Supreme's inheritance, although tempting, did not hold the imagined allure for Ye Chen.

But who was the Pill Emperor?

The Pill Dao Emperor, an unparalleled existence who became an emperor through the earth-shattering Alchemy Skill, such fearsome Alchemy Techniques that could defy the heavens and forge the legendary Tenth-order Emperor Pill.

More importantly, he could refine the Ancient Universe, transform the Great Universe into a big cauldron, burn the heavens, and create a Heavenly Reversal Emperor Pill, possessing the capability to revive even the Emperor Supreme with an Ultimate Emperor Pill.

This is truly terrifying.

When an emperor dies, who can save them?

Not even the strongest emperors like the Combat Saint Ancestor, the Emperor Supreme Saint, or the Heavenly Emperor could do so. Each specialized in their own field, and though they were the mightiest among emperors, it did not mean they could defy the heavens and resurrect an emperor.

But the Ultimate Emperor Pill crafted by the Pill Emperor could.

After all, it is the most advanced Alchemy Technique in the entire Chaos Sea and throughout history, unmatched by anyone.

In fact, according to some rumors, the Alchemy Skill of all the Great Ancient Universes in the Chaos Sea originated from the Pill Emperor.

"The Pill Emperor's inheritance...is it real!?"

Ye Chen's eyes widened in shock.

"Naturally, it's absolutely authentic, we can assure you."

Seeing the Combat Saint King's shocked expression, even the Guardian Powers couldn't help but smile slightly. However, when they first heard of this news, they were even more shocked than the Combat Saint King.

After all, the Supreme Inheritance of the Pill Emperor is an immense endeavor.

But Ye Chen quickly showed a wry smile: "Even so, concerning the Pill Emperor's inheritance, my Alchemy Technique is nowhere comparable."

Although his cultivation talent was extraordinary, his talent in alchemy paled in comparison, not even close enough to contend for the Pill Emperor's inheritance this time.

He shook his head and said: "Seniors, I will continue to trail the Ultimate Ancient Road, as it pertains to the Pill Scripture. You might want to invite other experts for this invitation."

He declined, as the Pill Emperor's inheritance seemed highly tempting, but without the ability to compete, participating would be self-degrading.

Upon hearing this, the Jiuhuang Great Power and other Guardian Powers turned pale, their initial goal was for Ye Chen to proceed directly to the 31st Pass, but now he was resisting such a huge temptation, leaving them worried.

"Combat Saint King, this is the Pill Emperor's inheritance. If you acquire it, you could defy the heavens, reach the Pill Emperor's heights, perhaps even crafting the Ultimate Emperor Pill to enhance yourself, and achieve the complete Chaos Dao, transcending eternity," Jiuhuang Great Power said urgently, with the other Guardian Powers concurring.

But Ye Chen shook his head and said: "Sorry, when it comes to Alchemy Skill, I'm well aware of my limitations, I wouldn't want to embarrass myself, so I'll continue on the Ultimate Ancient Road patiently."

"As for proceeding to the 31st Pass, I'll refrain, having decided to commence from the 19th Pass and continue my journey."

"This..."

The Guardian Powers were at a loss, for a usual Ancient Road Testers, even Young Supremes couldn't refuse them, but the one in front was the Chaos Young Supreme, the Combat Saint King, a potential future Ancient Road Dominator, they dared not force him.

Also, the Combat Saint King had a Goddess as a backer, a Supreme Tyrant, and the Moon Palace, a dominating power on the Ultimate Ancient Road.

Yet they could not let the Combat Saint King proceed unchallenged from the 19th Pass, but since he refused, they felt troubled.

"If there's nothing else, I will take my leave," Ye Chen handed back the Pill Scripture invitation and turned to leave, but a mysterious smile played on his lips.

"One, two, three, four, five—"

Ye Chen counted silently in his heart, walking one step at a time, unhurriedly.

When he reached the thirteenth step, a voice suddenly called out from behind—

"Wait, young friend!"

The speaker was a Guardian Power of the 18th Pass, not weaker than the Jiuhuang Great Power, usually a very imposing figure, but now spoke with some helplessness: "Young friend, what will it take for you to agree?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Senior, I've mentioned, my Alchemy Techniques are ready at best, attending such a Pill Scripture competition would only be humiliating, how would I agree?"

"What will it take for you to agree?"

"What if I make a request that you can't fulfill?"

"As long as it's not excessive, we will consider it!" said the Great Powers.

"I hope to enter the Void God Temple along the ancient road and peruse various Alchemy texts left by past Alchemy Grandmasters."

Ye Chen spoke lightly, yet his words caused the Guardian Powers to tremble.

The Void God Temple, a Supreme Sacred Land of the Ultimate Ancient Road, very mysterious, a coveted place for all Ancient Road Testers.

It's a treasure hall, housing numerous Daoist scriptures, priceless secret techniques, various Dao Skills including Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Magic Arrays, and more, virtually everything is there.

Moreover, to be included in the Void God Temple, a book's minimum value must be at the Heavenly King Level, or else, even if written by a Heavenly King Level Young Supreme, it would be hard to be featured there, undoubtedly.

And the Alchemy Skill texts listed in the Void God Temple are, at the very least, of a grandmaster level, with many featuring various inheritances from Great Grandmasters.

If he could enter and find these Alchemy texts, Ye Chen could greatly advance his Alchemy Skill.

"No!"

Predictably, someone refused immediately, it was Jiuhuang Great Power, he said: "Young friend, the Void God Temple is the revered Supreme Sacred Land of the Ultimate Ancient Road, outsiders may not casually enter."

This outcome was expected, Ye Chen just chuckled and said: "If it makes things difficult for you, dear seniors, you can pretend you didn't hear my request, but please don't be unfair to me."

Evidently, since they wouldn't allow Ye Chen entry into the Void God Temple, Ye Chen wasn't willing to proceed to the 31st Pass, aiming instead for the 19th Pass to sweep through and seize the cultivation resources from each Trial Ancient Pass.

"Young friend, apart from that condition, anything else is agreeable," Jiuhuang Great Power hurriedly said.

"Help me kill Taiyi!" Ye Chen said.

"..."

The Guardian Powers were speechless, never mind that such an Ultimate Ancient Road Dominator with Supreme Cultivation could stand against Ancient Monarchs and leave safely, they couldn't kill him, even if they could, they wouldn't act against such a potential Emperor figure among the Ancient Road Dominators for Ye Chen's condition.

Ye Chen laughed and said: "Since seniors can't fulfill my request, please don't trouble me further, let me continue the trials."

It's you troubling us, isn't it!

The Jiuhuang Great Power and others inwardly complained, yet felt helpless, facing the Combat Saint King who couldn't be hit or scolded, and even facing him might be a problem.

Ultimately, after a Divine Sense exchange among Jiuhuang Great Power and the other Guardian Powers, they made a difficult decision, and said: "Young friend, we can allow you entry into the Void God Temple, but only for one month, you absolutely cannot stay longer, do you agree?"

"Alright!"

Without hesitation, Ye Chen agreed, since entry was permitted, there was nothing else to consider.
