Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 1317 - 1180: The Immortal Great Mountain Blocking the Emperor Road
Ying Chen was defeated, just like that, split in half in the starry sky.
A supreme True King of the Emperor Clan, although he never achieved the Tenth Layer Heaven Perfection, he had stepped into the Heavenly King Realm for many years, stronger than many of the older generation’s Heavenly Kings. Entering the Ancient Great Power Realm was just a matter of time, and he even hoped to compete for the Human Emperor’s Throne, being invincible among his peers.
Yet in a head-on battle, he was completely crushed and defeated utterly.
Such a result, such a scene, leaves one’s heart in shock.
Because it all ended too quickly, like a thunderbolt, in the blink of an eye it was over.
It can be said that among the younger generation, not to mention the Heavenly and Myriad Realms, even looking through ages past, how many have achieved such a battle record?
Only the Combat Saint King, peerlessly unmatched, stands in the starry sky, his clothes unstained by blood, exuding an invincible aura needing others to look up and revere.
Upon him, lies a true unchallenged imperial aura.
"I lost..."
In the starry sky, Ying Chen, who was split into two, was not completely killed. Though both his physical body and divine soul were torn in half, he survived as a True King of the Emperor Clan, albeit at a great cost, with his divine soul dim and without light.
The power of the Emperor Bloodline is quite extraordinary, flickering with immortal strength, recombining the torn halves of his body together, though his eyes were dim and filled with dead silence.
He once believed in his own invincibility, capable of surpassing everything, even catching up with the Emperor’s sons of his clan long departed, unafraid of anyone in the younger generation, possessing ambitions large enough to fill the heavens. Yet, in this fair battle, to end up like this explained it all.
His Dao Heart had collapsed.
Despondently standing in the starry sky, his eyes dim, he turned to look at the resplendent, emperor-like Combat Saint King opposite, only mustering a wry smile.
What a vast gap!
At the scene, many were silent, even though this Combat Saint King is from the younger generation, not a true Ancient Great Power, yet he demonstrated boundless and terrifying potential.
Moreover, many former True Kings who successfully mastered the Supreme Method, now Supreme Geniuses, hailed from Supreme Sacred Lands under the command of Heavenly Great Abilities, fell silent seeing the scene.
Although the True Kings achieved Great Perfection in their Supreme Methods, combining their dual life Dao Fruits for ultimate ascension to Tenth Layer Heaven Supreme Geniuses, they still couldn’t be truly invincible or prideful. On the path of contending for the Human Emperor, there remained formidable opponents, not only the emerging Emperor’s sons from the Emperor Clan but also the Combat Saint King before them. He was not an Emperor’s son yet, not inferior to the Supreme Genius of the Emperor’s sons, a towering mountain on the path to the Human Emperor’s Throne for any young Supreme to dread.
"It seems to be true, even those young Supremes with perfected Supreme Methods facing the Combat Saint King, will require a fierce battle, perhaps even being outmatched, as the Combat Saint King on the path of young Supremes has advanced further than others."
"The Combat Saint King is the first young Supreme of this epoch to step into the Tenth Layer Heaven, founding a brilliant Supreme Road, journeying further than anyone, with extraordinary and unfathomable strength."
"Rumor has it that the Combat Saint King is comparable to the Emperor’s sons in contention; initially dubious, but now affirmed as truth. Much remains hidden in the Ancient Emperor Realm we are unfamiliar with."
"Even if the Combat Saint King doesn’t ultimately ascend to the Human Emperor’s Throne, he is likely a future Supreme Venerable."
Heavenly Great Abilities couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, and many significant powers at the Ten Thousand Domain Center observed the events through the Heavenly Eye, engaging in myriad discussions. Many younger generations, having heard of the Combat Saint King’s repute, idolized him with reverence.
There were also many with concern, as the Combat Saint King was overwhelmingly powerful, an insurmountable mountain on the path to contending for the Human Emperor’s Throne, instilling desperation among aspiring youthful geniuses.
Even some Emperor Clans felt likewise, as the Combat Saint King’s might induced despair within the younger generation, making him difficult to surpass.
Should there be but one opportunity to become Emperor in this era, the Combat Saint King would likely be the greatest foe to all Emperor’s sons.
Within the crowd, some Ancient Great Powers, their gazes deep with boundless killing intent, contemplated striking, desiring to extinguish this Future Supreme in its cradle, unable to let him mature, fearing a world-devouring disaster.
Yet, recalling the Combat Saint King’s potential access to an external Great Power and support from numerous Ancient Great Powers,
especially the mysterious Heavenly Gate Master, a true matchless Great Power, completely suppressing Emperor Clan’s Great Powers, severing starry skies with a single sword, demonstrating a peerless Cultivation worthy of any Ancient Great Power’s awe.
With such a guardian for the Combat Saint King, how could he be easily slain?
Moreover, some worried that such action would provoke the other side, leading to mutual strikes against other Emperor’s sons.
Ultimately, many couldn’t help but sigh; the rise of the Combat Saint King has become inevitable and unchangeable.
"Depart now," an ancient sage spoke; Heavenly Great Abilities all complied, starting to leave.
Yet before leaving, the ancient sage cast a deep gaze at the Heavenly Gate Master, eyes profound, seemingly containing other meanings, and then departed directly, his figure mysteriously undetectable even by many Great Powers, making Ye Chen appear solemn.
Fortunately, there was no feeling of hostility or murderous intent from the other party, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
The battle had long ended, it was merely a farce; no ancient power fell, yet Ye Chen and the Heavenly Gate Master became famous at the center of the Ten Thousand Domains.
The strong members of Yingg’s Imperial Clan led the heavily injured Yingg Chen away.
After this battle, Yingg Chen was not only seriously injured, but more importantly, his Dao Heart cracked, and he appeared bleak and desolate. If he couldn’t surpass this, he might not advance for the rest of his life.
Amidst this, Ye Chen approached War King, taking over Yiyi onto his shoulder.
"Uncle Qian, you’re amazing!"
Little Wushuang looked at Ye Chen in admiration, and Qin Yi also showed surprise. She never expected her fiancé to be defeated like this, especially in such a frontal collapse. The Combat Saint King in front of her was incredibly strong.
As for War King, after a slight sigh, he smiled, happy for his brother’s strength, saying, "Qian Yue, as you are now, you’ve completely surpassed the younger generation. Under the heavens, in all universal realms, you might stand unrivaled as the number one."
Ye Chen shook his head, saying, "The emperor’s son is strong!"
Just this one sentence was enough to explain everything, making War King apprehensive.
For Ye Chen to say such a thing despite his powerful defeat of Yingg Chen shows that those emperor’s sons are truly strong, strong enough to make even Ye Chen wary.
After all, they are all descendants of emperors, their veins flowing with the most powerful bloodline, inherently unmatched, surpassing all, a capital of invincibility among their generation.
Yet it indirectly proves everything. Ye Chen did not rely on the strongest bloodline bestowed by ancestors but reached this point by himself, showing his invincible aura.
"I’ve heard a mythical ancient road has now opened, known as the Ultimate Ancient Road. The Yuan Yang God King, Sun God, and Ancient Demon God have all entered it successively, and all the emperor’s sons from various Great Emperor Clans have basically entered the Ultimate Ancient Road. It’s the Trial Road of the Human Emperor Road and holds the hope for opportunities to become an emperor. Are you planning to take this Ultimate Ancient Road in the future?" War King asked.
"Yes."
Ye Chen did not hide it. This is truly the Ultimate Ancient Road. According to the Heavenly King from Dragon Phoenix Academy, this ancient road is known as the ultimate, not only with young supremes from all of the Ten Thousand Domains embarking on it, but also the strongest from other ancient universes, with alien races, and even peerless geniuses from the mysterious Primordial Immortal Realm.
All of this made the blood within Ye Chen’s heart quietly boil with unparalleled anticipation.
He is a Combat Saint, fighting with battle, and within him flows not only golden holy blood but also war blood, longing to battle with the strongest young geniuses from other ancient universes, to see who is stronger or weaker.
Of course, he always believes in his invincibility. Even when encountering formidable and insurmountable foes, he has confidence in battle, and this is his self-belief.
War King’s expression was heavy as he solemnly said, "In that case, be careful, do not underestimate anything. In the Mythical Era, there were young supremes of the Tenth Layer Heaven who embarked on that Ultimate Ancient Road, and some fell. This road is full of endless crises."
The Ultimate Ancient Road is not easy to tread, every step is filled with endless crises, with terrible risks, and even strong young supremes face the threat of falling.
Because there will be other young supremes from ancient universes confronting them, potentially targeting and launching attacks.
Moreover, this Ultimate Ancient Road is inherently filled with countless dangers, passing through extremely dangerous places, housing defiant creatures, sinful ancient cities, immortal entities devouring chaos, terrifying beings specializing in stripping origins... 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
All these factors make this Ultimate Ancient Road filled with endless perils, so much so that throughout this epoch in all heavenly realms, it has not been opened many times due to the risk of death for young supremes, let alone others.
A few openings can be counted on one hand, but all went without return, a one-way journey.
Ye Chen naturally understood: "Don’t worry."
After this battle, Ye Chen led War King’s family of three away, and the various strong members of the Qin family did not oppose, nor dared to.
And to show apology, they offered the King-Origin Dao Blood put on auction by the Eternal Palace as compensation.
This was a generous gift, evidently hoping to repair relations with Ye Chen, mainly for the chance to revive Wuxiang King.
After a hurried battle, everything was over.
The Heavenly Gate Master also led Ye Chen and others, descending into a relatively grand and majestic Treasure Heavenly Palace in Human Emperor City.
Moreover, certain matters could now be told to Ye Chen.
"The alien races have dispatched troops!" Upon entering, Ye Chen heard this shocking news!
