Eternal Holy Emperor
Chapter 1657 - 1479: The Old Immortal of the Void God Temple
The eighteenth pass, extraordinarily majestic, stands in the depths of the starry sky, an indestructible ancient pass marked by the vicissitudes of time and numerous war scars.
At the very center of the Trial Ancient Pass, stands a majestic Ancient Tower, towering high, merging into the Outer Domain Starry Sky, bathed in the light of the Heavenly Stars.
Whish, whish, whish—
At this moment, under the gaze of all Ancient Road Testers, several figures flew across the sky, including Jiuhuang Great Power and Ye Chen's group, directly climbing onto the central Ancient Tower.
Inside the Ancient Tower, there is a grand hall and a special, ancient portal, running through front and back, without a real door.
Jiuhuang Great Power led Ye Chen to this empty portal, and at that moment, Jiuhuang Great Power and the Protector Powers of the eighteenth pass released special marks, mysterious and profound Dao Runes emerging one after another and then zooming onto the empty portal.
Buzz—
Initially covered in dust, the empty portal suddenly glowed with brilliance across the sky, and within it, radiated dazzling light, then suddenly deepened like a bottomless abyss, capable of swallowing everything.
Inside the abyss, a peculiar aura flowed, not the vast Supreme Qi, not ancient and weathered, but an inspiration, full of wisdom, seemingly containing endless wisdom.
"Young friend, please join us as we proceed."
Under the lead of Jiuhuang Great Power, Ye Chen followed and entered the empty portal, and the instant they entered, the portal became ordinary, everything returned to normal, but the group had already disappeared.
Star Shifting, entering the portal, Ye Chen felt a peculiar change, as if traversing billions of epochs, countless Great Worlds, yet all within a split second.
Ye Chen instantly understood that the Void God Temple exists in a distinct time-space, different from where the Ultimate Ancient Road resides.
This time-space involves highly profound Time-Space Dao Principles, beyond the mastery of just two paths of time and space, even Ancient Monarchs of unmatched existence are difficult to find.
Imagining how deeply concealed the Void God Temple is, even the Protectors of the Ultimate Ancient Road need to traverse through special time-space portals to enter it.
Reappearing, the group found themselves in a pitch-black, endless void, darkness and dead silence seemed to be the eternal theme, save for the grand and majestic Divine Palace ahead, overflowing with surging Divine Light, illuminating this endless void, becoming the sole eternity in this time-space.
"Is this the Void God Temple, possessing the most wisdom inherence of this Ancient Universe?"
Ye Chen raised his head to look at the Void God Temple, able to sense the boundless, majestic Daoism information contained within, truly encompassing all Heavenly and Ten Thousand Paths, all sorts of Daoism, held within.
"Indeed, this is the Void God Temple, embodying the most Dao wisdom among the heavens!"
Speaking of this Divine Palace, even Jiuhuang Great Power and these Guardian Powers pride themselves on it, as after all, it is the temple holding the most Dao inheritance of the Ultimate Ancient Road, containing everything unimaginable.
While speaking, Jiuhuang Great Power guided Ye Chen to the front of the Void God Temple, but at this moment, they conveyed through voice that Ye Chen should be more mannered later.
Ye Chen's expression slightly tensed.
Suddenly, right before the grand Void God Temple, the void twisted, revealing a blurred figure, sitting cross-legged in the void, appearing very lean, his hair silver white as snow, looking near the end, like one foot already in the coffin, an Old Immortal with seemingly little time left.
But facing this Old Immortal, Ye Chen's hair seemed ready to explode, his pupils instantly shrinking to pinpoints due to this Old Immortal before him.
Ancient Monarch!
As a Chaos Sacred Body, Ye Chen's intuition is extremely sharp, especially having once closely encountered Snow Mist Monarch, Domineering King, and some Ancient Monarchs from the Alien Race, immediately recognizing that this seemingly nearing end Old Immortal is a terrifyingly unimaginable Old Immortal.
Ultimate Ancient Road Invincible!
The Ultimate Ancient Road is indeed unfathomable, and the Old Immortal ahead is the second Ultimate Ancient Road Invincible Ye Chen has seen over the years.
The Old Immortal opened his eyes in an instant, with no vitality, appearing dull and murky.
Just such an ordinary gaze sweeping over Ye Chen made his Chaos Sacred Body shiver involuntarily, and the Chaos Tripod automatically soared, hanging down thousands of strands of Chaos Ancient Energy, while the Desolate Great Halberd clang chiseled up, ready for self-protection.
All due to this Old Immortal, imagining the terror, even sensing this Old Immortal may be stronger than Snow Mist Monarch.
Who exactly is this venerable being?
Ye Chen felt confusion within but dared not question.
Meanwhile, watching the Chaos Tripod and Desolate Great Halberd emerging from Ye Chen's body, despite his plain demeanor now showed glimpses of keen light, and in an instant, the terrifying Ancient Monarch Qi Mechanism surged, overwhelming this endless void space.
"It's Qin Wuxiang's War Soldier, you are the heir of Combat Saint Lineage, and a cultivator of Chaos Supreme Path..."
In a mere moment, the Old Immortal had perceived much about Ye Chen, and Ye Chen felt as if in that gaze, all of his secrets were exposed.
Yet Ye Chen enveloped himself with sheets of Chaos Ancient Energy from Chaos Tripod, shielding from the Old Immortal's probe, while grasping Desolate Great Halberd, cautiously watching the opponent.
Some of his secrets can never be known by others under any circumstance.
"Hmm?"
The fearsome Ancient Monarch Old Immortal gave a surprised sound, but at this moment, Ye Chen suddenly felt a stab of spine-chilling horror, and the Desolate Great Halberd erupted directly, infinite brilliant golden light boiling up, sweeping this endless void, strands of Emperor's Might resurging, seemingly to annihilate everything.
At this moment, the Old Immortal's silhouette slightly moved, instantly appearing in front of Ye Chen.
Such swiftness, such abruptness, that even beneath Ye Chen's extremely sharp five senses and Six Senses, reacting proved difficult.
"So fast!"
Ye Chen's face changed color, yet he was not ordinary, the Chaos Ancient Energy burst, fully awakening the Desolate Great Halberd, which he swung towards the Old Immortal.
"Stop!"
Jiuhuang Great Power and five other Guardian Powers collectively reacted, yet all this was too late.
The Old Immortal merely smiled faintly, raising his dry, bark-like hand, without any principle fluctuations, thus facing the revived Emperor's Might of the Desolate Great Halberd.
Clang—
No earth-shattering terrible tear, nor grand explosion took place; under all the shocked stares, everyone only saw the terrifying Desolate Great Halberd gripped by that dry, bark-like ancient hand, firmly held in the palm, despite its threads of Supreme Emperor Might surging, unable to harm that hand in the slightest.
