Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 1384 - 1234: Those Who Come After, Halt!

Heaven and Earth Creation!

It was Ye Chen, who silently appeared behind the young supreme of the alien race's dark prison, hidden within the golden light, suddenly revealing himself and displaying an unparalleled punch!

Boom——

The Heaven and Earth Creation Fist descended, accompanied by vast stretches of Chaos Ancient Energy, terrifying beyond measure, and even encompassing the birth of a true Great World, all spirits awakening, ready to tear apart and annihilate everything.

One might say, how terrifying this punch was, how powerful, how peerless, that even a young supreme like Dark Prison felt a dreadful sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis could undoubtedly be called fatal; if it hit the head, even someone as powerful as him would be severely injured if not killed.

However, the punch came too suddenly, too fast, for him to completely avoid it.

At this moment, Dark Prison's entire body was enveloped in black light, burning alongside terrible black demonic flames, Dao Mark Runes manifesting, showcasing fearsome secret techniques, pushed to the extreme to dodge.

Yet this punch was unprecedentedly terrifying, smashing through the black demonic flames, striking heavily on Dark Prison's body. Even the extraordinary combat armor, no matter how remarkable, was directly torn apart, the black light exploded, and Dark Prison's entire being was blasted away, the right half of the body completely shattered.

Even as a young supreme, he was no exception, unable to completely withstand this punch.

But it was also enough to be proud of, because this was Ye Chen's supreme punch, and anyone else facing it would only meet death.

Everyone was shocked; the Human Clan's Combat Saint King was too terrifying, hiding such an invincible spell.

"What a pity..."

Ye Chen was somewhat regretful; if it had hit Dark Prison's head, it would have inflicted the utmost damage, even a young supreme would have suffered fatal injuries or had his divine soul annihilated.

But the opponent was, after all, a young supreme with overly sharp senses, predicting it in advance, yet it was still sufficient.

Swish——

Amidst the crowd's shock, Ye Chen had long been in motion, his entire being traversing across, displaying shocking immortal speed, charging towards the portal to the Undying Divine Island.

"Damn it!"

The expressions of the Three Desolates and the Trial Dominator changed slightly, attempting to catch up, but Ye Chen's figure had already entered, and the portal quickly narrowed, shrinking until it vanished completely.

This scene stunned everyone, leaving many to regret.

The expressions of the Three Desolates and the Sovereign were very grim; they had not expected the Human Clan's Combat Saint King to launch such a move, catching them off guard, making them furious yet helpless.

In the distance, Dark Prison's body reassembled, with endless black light surging, a terrifying bloodline power boiling, fully exhibiting the unmatched strength of the alien race's young supreme, perhaps even showcasing the unmatched strength of an emperor's son, inheriting the most powerful Emperor Bloodline Power, now revealed in full.

The shattered black combat armor also reassembled, even shattered it remained immortal, as the combat armor was extraordinary, refined from priceless divine material, with special principles etched upon it, difficult to decay.

However, Dark Prison's expression at this moment was very grim, not expecting to be caught off guard by the Human Clan's Combat Saint King, which was an enormous humiliation to him.

Yet he was secretly astounded by the opponent's strength; even after reassembling his body, he still had blood continuously spilling from his mouth. That punch was terrifying, containing peerless secret techniques, inflicted damage on his emperor-level physical body, the powerful Emperor Bloodline Power unable to completely suppress it.

He was injured, which was rarely seen in his life, being an emperor's son, not only a young supreme but invincible within, unrivaled for an era in the alien race's universe, unexpected to be harmed on the Ultimate Ancient Road.

Outside the Undying Divine Island, although Ye Chen's entry caused shock among the various factions, the battle continued; all the mighty ones were contesting the other scattered Undying Divine Spring Water, which had equally terrifying effects.

The Undying Divine Island was shrouded in Chaos Fog, making it difficult for the outside world to see its true form.

This mysterious island, which had always seemed rather enigmatic, bore many legends, all naturally stemming from that special Undying Divine Spring Water.

Because the Undying Divine Spring Water possessed the astonishing effect of fully reviving even a trace of a True Spirit's spirit, more importantly, for many of the older generation whose lifespan had reached their limit, it could grant them another lifetime.

And for some unparalleled powerhouses at the absolute peak, the Undying Divine Spring Water had the heaven-defying effect of ascending the absolute peak of the Dao, allowing them to gain insights into eternal life and immortality.

According to certain legends, the Emperor of Eternal Life, one of the overlords of the Primordial Immortal Realm, was rumored to have obtained the Undying Divine Spring Water on the Ultimate Ancient Road, delved into it for many years, comprehending the ultimate secret, and thus becoming an emperor and ascending to immortality.

It is precisely for these reasons that the appearance of the Undying Divine Spring Water has provoked countless powerhouses to vie for it, with even ancient great powers willing to risk everything to descend upon the Fifth Trial Continent.

The Undying Divine Island isn't particularly large, similar to other divine islands encountered before. It teems with vitality, with countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures rooted here, along with rare ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasures. There are even some rebellious treasures exceeding ten millennia in age, swaying and shining on the island—a veritable treasure trove of Spiritual Medicine.

"Hmm?"

Ye Chen was slightly surprised because he saw several Spiritual Medicines that had developed spiritual intelligence, beginning to become true living beings, rather than merely ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or Medicine Treasures. They contained the Undying essence, particularly imbued with Dao Fragments.

If a cultivator acquired these Medicine Treasure Spirits, they would likely gain immense fortune, at least prolonging life far more effectively than any ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure.

However, while these Medicine Treasure Spirits weren't highly intelligent, they were quite clever. Upon seeing Ye Chen, they fled like startled birds in an instant, appearing in the distant sky, far away from this place.

Ye Chen didn't pursue them because none of that mattered. What truly mattered was the real Undying Divine Spring Water.

He saw, at the very center of the island, a source of surging vitality continuously released—a water pond about a meter in size and two meters deep. At the deepest point of the pond, there was a spring slowly overflowing with water, filling the pond to the brim.

Though not plentiful, the spring water's vitality was exceptionally strong. Without a doubt, this was the legendary Undying Divine Spring Water.

The spring water overflowing from the pond transformed into a rain of light, surging out from the island, the very water fought over by many heroes.

Ye Chen approached the Undying Divine Spring with decisiveness, instantly opening his internal space to collect the Undying Divine Spring Water.

However, to his surprise and confusion, the Undying Divine Spring Water was difficult to contain and incredibly heavy. A cubic meter of Undying Divine Spring Water was unimaginably heavier than an entire mountain.

Furthermore, its vitality was even stronger than the Undying Divine Spring Water he'd previously intercepted at the size of a human head.

He immediately understood that while the scattered Undying Divine Spring Water was extraordinary, a portion of its vitality dissipated during its dispersal, not as abundant as the spring-fed pond's surge of life.

Ye Chen spent some effort but ultimately managed to collect it completely. Moreover, upon observing the springhead at the pond's depth slowly overflowing with Undying Divine Spring Water, he considered taking it, as it promised an endless stream of Undying Divine Spring Water.

However, Ye Chen, being the formidable Young Supreme he was, not weaker than an Emperor's Son, couldn't take it. The springhead was firmly rooted in the island, and Ye Chen saw supreme and abundant vitality gushing forth from the springhead, earth-shattering.

Frowning, Ye Chen didn't give up. Instead, he moved the bluestone slab atop the springhead, revealing a well opening wide enough for one person, deep and dark, impervious even to the Heavenly Eye, unable to peer inside.

After some deliberation, Ye Chen entered the springhead's opening. He wanted to uncover the spring water's true origin.

Unexpectedly, through the springhead opening, he descended for over a thousand feet, narrower and narrower until he arrived at an underground lake. Though not large, it was much bigger than the outside pond, with crystal-clear, vital water, yet strangely lacking the surface pond's rich vitality.

"Hmm?"

Ye Chen made a surprised sound, for in the underground lake's depths, he saw a bubble rising slowly, filled with intense vitality. During its rise, some of its vitality slowly dissipated, merging into the underground lake, finally vanishing into the hole Ye Chen entered.

Seeing this, Ye Chen pondered and realized something.

He understood that the true source of the Undying Divine Spring lay further below—this was not the real source.

Ye Chen continued his descent, discovering the lowest point had another hole after descending dozens of feet.

The bubble rich with vitality originated from this hole, and at that moment, another emerged, slowly rising.

Ye Chen intercepted it directly, discovering that the bubble contained even more vitality than the pond's spring water. Could the pond's spring water not be the true Undying Divine Spring?

Ye Chen was puzzled and continued to descend along the hole, finding another, even larger underground lake, with even clearer and more vital water, yet still not the true springhead.

Because bubbles kept emerging.

Therefore, Ye Chen continued descending, eventually reaching the ninth underground lake, where yet another hole appeared below.

At that moment, Ye Chen suddenly halted because he found an Ancient Stele erected beside the hole. Though the underground lake was dark, he could still see it.

This was no ordinary Ancient Stele; it exuded Supreme Dao Principles, beyond that of a Heavenly King. Even time couldn't fully obliterate it, with strong strands of Qi Mechanism emanating—left by a Supreme Powerhouse.

The Ancient Stele bore an inscription—

"To those who come after, please stop. Below lies a land of extreme peril!"
