Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 1298 - 1163: Human Emperor State, Human Emperor City!
At the center of the Ten Thousand Domains lie the Nine Great States, each state vast enough to rival a Great Domain, extremely expansive.
The Ye Family resides in the Heavenly Heart State, the Dragon Phoenix Academy is in the Dragon Phoenix State, while the central Great State among the Nine Great States is the legendary Human Emperor State, also known as the Emperor State, the great state where the Emperor of Ten Thousand Realms resides.
The unparalleled Human Emperor Palace is situated in that expansive Great State.
A group of people rode the Void Divine Platform directly across the sky, transforming into an aurora crossing the sky, never breaking into the endless space turbulence but speeding through the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, able to appreciate the endless splendor of the Human Emperor State.
In the Human Emperor State, one can deeply feel the vast Qi Mechanism contained within this Great State; the Heavenly and Ten Thousand Paths seem much clearer, as if one is nearing the Ten Thousand Dao Origin. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Additionally, among the vast lands, numerous formidable auras rise and fall, hide and emerge, truly a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den, with an unknown number of peerless experts hidden within, immensely fearsome.
Deeper within the land, enormous Ancestor Veins stretch across, as the Dragon Veins of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms take root here, continuously spewing endless Essence Qi, nourishing this central Great State, bringing the Heavenly Dao closer.
One can even feel a Supreme Qi Mechanism emanating from the Human Emperor State.
Ye Chen had once felt, from the imprint of the Emperor Supreme Saint, in the River of Time, that belonged to the Emperor’s Supreme Qi Mechanism, eternally immortal.
Throughout the ages, generations of Human Emperors have presided here, imprinting the Emperor’s Qi Mechanism on this vast Great State, interacting with heaven and earth, extraordinarily exceptional.
But only genuinely strong individuals can feel it, like Ye Chen, a peerless person, below a Heavenly King it’s hard to sense.
"Is this the legendary Human Emperor State? It truly is extraordinary!"
Ye Chen marveled, indeed, this place is very powerful; various sects, Immortal Sacred Lands, Supreme Sacred Lands, each major power concentrated within this great state, with countless ancient powers standing, alongside the continuous Immortal Mountains and Divine Islands, all displaying the various extraordinary aspects of this great state.
Jiuzhou is the center of the Ten Thousand Domains, while the Human Emperor State is the center of centers, surpassing any Great Domain of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, the most prosperous and flourishing place.
War King nodded: "The Human Emperor State is indeed extraordinarily exceptional, rooted are numerous Holy Land forces of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, also the seating of the Emperor Clan, with Mythical Ancestral Clan residing, usually hard-to-see experts are common here, as are the strong clans."
This place is incredibly exceptional, gathering countless top-notch forces and experts from the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, perhaps anyone met casually might hail from an Immortal Sacred Land, possibly above the Saintly Treasure Realm, Saint Lord Level characters are not unusual here.
Heavenly Kings, though rare, are not, as in other Great Domains, lofty legendary figures, occasionally sighted here.
On the Void Divine Platform, seven people and a beast swiftly traversed, heading towards the Human Emperor City, though they had not yet fully arrived, they sensed strong waves of turbulence ahead.
There were experts engaged in confrontation, within great divine powers clashing heaven-shattering, ground-cracking, accompanied by strong Dao Traces stirring, sweeping in all directions, tearing through the void.
Yet it couldn’t hinder Ye Chen and others, they passed through quickly, rapidly distancing themselves from the battlefield.
War King said: "Although the Human Emperor State is far more prosperous than other Great States, the forces within are complex and the situation is more severe, with numerous hostile forces and enemies, far more formidable than other Great Domains."
Ye Chen nodded, the previous confrontation was between two Ancient Saints, a top-notch duel in any other Great Domain, yet not here in the center of the Ten Thousand Domains.
During the time, several more confrontations occurred, all above the Saint level, rarely below, erupting radiant sparks, heaven collapsing, earth rending, extremely grand, astonishingly so.
At one instance, even involving a Reincarnation-level expert collision, fiercely battled, almost impacting Ye Chen’s group’s passage, yet ultimately avoided it.
Finally, they arrived at the legendary First City of Ten Thousand Domains - Human Emperor City!
Human Emperor City, the absolute center of Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, due to the preeminent Human Emperor Palace, thanks to the Supreme Human Emperor, truly a place of worldly renown.
The Void Divine Platform tearing through the void, arrived in front of an exceptionally prosperous area, sprawling by unknown miles, with numerous cultivators pouring in from all directions, extraordinarily bustling.
"Is the Human Emperor City this large?" Ye Chen was slightly shocked, because it was too vast, the city was so large that the end couldn’t be seen, encompassing the entire field of vision.
Behind, one of the captured Heavenly Kings, an Emperor Clan’s Heavenly King, known as Kuye Heavenly King, sneered hearing: "What Human Emperor City? This is just the bustling area surrounding the Human Emperor City, still some distance away from it."
The real Human Emperor City naturally couldn’t be like this, having tall city walls, far more remarkable, what lies ahead is merely a prosperous area built on the basis of Human Emperor City, appearing thriving, formerly different small towns, due to prosperity, eventually merged together, forming this exceedingly thriving prosperous area before us.
This is a bustling oasis, constructed near the Human Emperor City, remarkably vast, with towns stretching on and on, inhabited by both cultivators and ordinary people, who live here trading and cultivating.
Even the most brazen of bandits dare not come to pillage, for this is the true central region of the Ten Thousand Domains, not only governed by the Human Emperor City, guarded by true experts from the Human Emperor Palace, but also host to elite forces stationing their troops here, where experts gather in clouds and masters in clusters.
One can see streams of light flashing across from all directions, entering this bustling area, all of them experts from the major powers.
Upon arrival here, Ye Chen and his group disembarked from the Void Divine Platform, intending to proceed to the Human Emperor City.
Among them, the Four Heavenly Kings captives were shrouded in divine light because they were on the verge of being stripped naked, left only with shorts, now relying on divine light to conceal themselves, not wishing for their true appearance to be known, lest the shame of their capture be revealed.
Their speed was swift, traversing the expanse of the bustling area in mere breaths, advancing over a thousand miles, arriving finally before the true Human Emperor City.
Upon looking up, they beheld a grand and indescribable Emperor City appearing before them.
Grand, because Ye Chen nearly suspected not seeing a city, but rather akin to the immortal heavenly pass he had once seen.
The city gates of the Human Emperor City were simply too grand, towering into the clouds, clearly visible even from afar, seemingly so lofty as to ascend into the skies, becoming part of the Cangqiong like a piece of the night sky.
Entirely black as ink, carrying a sense of eternal immortality, indistinctly visible, amidst the grand city gates, there truly were enormous stars embedded on it, marked by battle traces, familiar and similar to the immortal heavenly pass.
Moreover, Ye Chen standing here, clearly felt the qi mechanism of the city gate, reminiscent of the immortal heavenly pass he encountered before, leaving him confused and wondering how this could be.
He now truly suspected he had encountered those immortal heavenly passes once more.
At this time, a Heavenly King from the Emperor Clan suddenly spoke: "It is rumored that the origins of the construction of the Human Emperor City are extraordinary, wherein the city gate is taken from an immortal heavenly pass, broken off by a peerless entity, thus constructing this Human Emperor City."
Such a legend, one must admit, is deeply astounding; the Human Emperor City indeed boasts such origins, the city gate sourced from an immortal heavenly pass, severed by someone and erected as an Emperor City.
Ye Chen had witnessed first-hand the solidity of the immortal heavenly pass, so firm as to be described as indestructible, hence calling it Emperor Pass isn’t excessive, fearing the one capable of severing it must be a Mythical Emperor or an Emperor level supreme being, else who could manage such a feat.
"The origins of the Human Emperor City are ancient, some ancient books record that the origins of this royal city might even stem from the Mythical Era’s Emperor City." Even the Heavenly King of the Emperor Clan spoke thus, with a tone of wonder.
Because the Human Emperor City truly is so ancient, its origins cannot be traced back to exactly what era it belongs, even some extremely ancient records note, since the epoch began with the Heaven and Earth Creation, there existed this unrivaled royal city, and it wasn’t established by the Human Emperor.
It’s said, in endless ages past, after the first Human Emperor appeared, Heaven and Earth resonated, and the Human Emperor City descended from the heavenly dome, resting in this region, thus cementing this place as the center of the Ten Thousand Domains.
Whether it’s the Mythical Era’s Emperor City, poised by peerless existence breaking the immortal heavenly pass, or an immortal city descending due to the first Human Emperor, myriad legends, all proving the Human Emperor City has monumental origins.
"Yiyi——" Suddenly, Yiyi, coiled atop Ye Chen’s shoulder, lifted its small head, gazing at the Human Emperor City, those large, dark eyes revealing a sense of bewilderment, muttering to itself: "Little Yueyue, why do I feel the Human Emperor City, as if I’ve seen it before?"
Ye Chen was startled, casting a surprised glance at Yiyi.
Because Yiyi’s origins have always been mysterious, even when facing the bloodline pressure of a Pure Blood True Dragon’s Golden Little Divine Dragon, it remained unperturbed, one could imagine Yiyi’s origin was certainly remarkable, possibly no weaker than a True Dragon.
Yet even for the powerful current Ye Chen, or the Heavenly Gate Master such ancient great powers, Yiyi’s origin was shrouded in mystery, unknown.
Now under the Human Emperor City, Yiyi suddenly felt familiarity, which astonished him, hoping Yiyi would recall, perhaps recovering fragments of its past memories.
But Yiyi shook its small head in bewilderment: "I don’t know, just feel a sense of familiarity as if I encountered it many years ago, amidst fierce battles, blood chaos cascading the heavens, yet can’t recall clearly."
Ye Chen’s heart trembled, the last great battle the Human Emperor City experienced likely dates back to the distant Ancient Times, an epoch of battles of Ancient Gods and Demons, could it be Yiyi is at least a creature from that era?
However, seeing the little creature’s bewildered appearance, Ye Chen couldn’t help but tenderly rub its head, softly saying: "Don’t worry, you’ll remember eventually."
"Mm." Yiyi nodded.
"Sigh——"
Yet no one heard, at the instant of leaving, suddenly a sigh echoed in the void...
