Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 1404 - 1253: The Emperor and the Heavenly Pass

Ye Chen nodded, with Yiyi and the Golden Little Divine Dragon perched on his shoulder, and strode in.

Once he truly entered the city, he discovered its grandeur. Although there were many buildings, there were even more vast primordial ancient lands, covered with forests and mountains. It didn't seem like an ancient city, but more like a vast world, accommodating countless creatures.

In the world, there were barbaric beasts roaring and divine birds spreading their wings, each as massive as mountains, the larger ones could even block out the sun, casting a huge shadow on the ground. Their blood was strong, truly primordial species.

Among them were some primordial strange beasts that were thought to be extinct in the world, now appearing to the astonishment of all.

There were even majestic dinosaurs, crocodiles wrapped in Thunderbolt Tribulation Light, and strange flowers that could swallow the heavens and the earth. Various fierce beasts and exotic birds roared and howled, filling this place with an oppressive Qi that made it hard to breathe.

First Emperor Pass!

It must be said that Emperor Pass was truly extraordinary, containing such a vast world and heaven, even giving Ye Chen the feeling that it was more magnificent than his Gulan Great World. It contained traces of true supreme Qi, belonging to Emperor's Qi.

He immediately understood that within First Emperor Pass was a true Great World Heaven and Earth, possibly even the Emperor's Origin Ancient Realm, integrated with the Emperor Pass.

Moreover, First Pass was extraordinary, with so many terrifying primordial species, and within the Emperor Pass's inner world, there were majestic celestial palaces floating on the heavenly dome, with divine islands far exceeding external imagination.

Here, soldiers wore cold battle armor, mainly holding big halberds, long spears, and battle spears as their weapons, exuding a strong killing intent, guarding First Emperor Pass, not many in number, yet making even Heavenly Kings stand in awe.

Because these soldiers had definitely experienced truly terrifying wars, slaughtering countless strong experts, their aura faintly bore a bloody scent that couldn't be washed away.

Ye Chen slightly raised his brows; although there were many creatures in the inner world of First Emperor Pass City, there were not many true strong experts among the various races; mostly, they were exotic beasts and divine birds.

In the distant sky, several celestial palaces floated, with powerful figures sitting; however his divine thought was so strong, there were only a few Heavenly Kings among them, while most were below Heavenly King.

Could it be that the Emperor Pass's combat power was only this formidable? Though this was just First Emperor Pass, if other Emperor Passes were like this, how could they fight against the alien race?

He had once seen from the River of Time a vast alien army attempting to invade the Ancient Emperor Realm through the Tongxuan Ancient Sect and then attack the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, with far stronger powerhouses.

At this moment, a shadowy figure appeared, accompanied by an eternal aura, making Ye Chen's expression become slightly solemn.

That was definitely a very powerful existence, an ancient great power, descending next to Ye Chen, nodding at him: "Combat Saint King, you are the first in this epoch to reach the Ten-layered Heaven Level purely by your own efforts, truly extraordinary. I am the City Lord of First Emperor Pass."

"I've seen the City Lord." Ye Chen spoke, politely cupping his fists in salute.

The two little beasts on his shoulder were not afraid of strangers at all, curiously examining the First Emperor Pass City Lord before them, both blinking their large eyes.

The First Emperor Pass City Lord also looked at the Golden Little Divine Dragon on Ye Chen's shoulder, his eyes flashing sharply a few times, softly saying: "A pure blood true dragon, seen again, its future accomplishments will be extraordinary indeed."

He then looked at Yiyi on the other side, and suddenly, his eyes blazed with brilliance, as if two golden lamps were shining brightly, filled with shock, as if witnessing something incredible.

Seeing this, Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat; could it be the First Emperor Pass City Lord knew of Yiyi's origins?

"City Lord senior, could it be that you know of its origins?" Ye Chen asked.

The Yiyi on his shoulder was also full of curiosity, for it too was curious about its true origins.

The First Emperor Pass City Lord gazed intently at Yiyi for a long time before softly sighing: "Very similar, but not sure."

Ye Chen cupped his fists: "I humbly ask the City Lord senior to enlighten me."

The First Emperor Pass City Lord said: "I, too, am not entirely sure. I once encountered related relics at the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass during the Mythical Cataclysm, where a similar race aided our Ancient Universe, an existence that defied the heavens, originating from the Chaos Sea. I just don't know if it's related to this little beast."

The Tenth Layer Emperor Pass?

Ye Chen silently noted it down.

Immediately, Ye Chen cupped his fists towards the First Emperor Pass City Lord, saying: "City Lord senior, I need to head to the Tenth Emperor Pass; I bid farewell for now, and will visit again in the future!"

Saying this, he was about to turn and leave, but was stopped by the First Emperor Pass City Lord, who said: "It's a long way from here to the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass, farther than the ten great domains of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms. Follow me, I will open a Teleportation Gate for you to directly transmit to the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass."

Ye Chen earnestly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you very much!"

Following the City Lord, Ye Chen arrived at the city gate, where there stood an ancient gate as grand as the Domain Gate of Human Emperor City. The City Lord opened the ancient gate with a special method, and surging immortal light flashed, followed by a loud boom, leading to the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass.

While heading to the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass, Ye Chen saw numerous lights and shadows, massive unexplainable Heroic Passes stood in the Chaos Territory, all being Ten-layered Emperor Passes, each exceedingly enormous, not inferior to the First Emperor Pass, nor Human Emperor City.

The Tenth Layer Emperor Pass, eternally standing, rose in the most barren fringe of the Ancient Universe, defending against the invasion of alien armies throughout the ages.

A stream of light flashed, Ye Chen, Yiyi, and the Golden Little Divine Dragon appeared in the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass, gazing up at the towering Tenth Layer Emperor Pass before them, so tall that the massive walls melded into the deepest part of the starry sky, unimaginably vast and grand.

Compared to the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass, even Starry Sky Giant Beasts were as tiny as specks of dust, utterly incomparably small.

It could be seen that the materials constructing the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass were at least the Heavenly Stars, and among them, Ye Chen noticed some white materials, very mottled but particularly solid and eternal.

Upon closer inspection, among them were mixed the immortal remains of some supreme creatures, intermingled with star remains, piled together, constructing such a Supreme Emperor Pass.

"It's that feeling again."

Ye Chen frowned, sensing from the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass the same Qi as from Human Emperor City and the Immortal Heavenly Pass, eternally immortal and forever enduring.

The First Emperor Pass City Lord spoke: "Combat Saint King, you probably visited Human Emperor City and saw the Immortal Heavenly Pass too. Indeed, the heavens have nine passes, each different. One of the Immortal Heavenly Passes actually refers to the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass."

Ye Chen's face showed astonishment; the Tenth Emperor Pass was actually the Immortal Heavenly Pass!
