Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 1575 - 1406: Twenty Years on the Road!

"Combat Saint King, it is time for you to embark on your journey."

The Protector felt a bit regretful but did not stop him, knowing that once Ye Chen erupted, he would be even more powerful than himself. Ye Chen already possessed sufficient self-preservation abilities.

However, he repeatedly urged Ye Chen to be extremely cautious, because during this period, the Protectors of the Ultimate Ancient Road and the Forbidden Soul Hall constantly engaged in battles. There were even confrontations at the Ancient Monarch level. If he encountered such peerless beings, he must flee immediately.

Ye Chen naturally understood this. Ultimately, Ancient Monarchs were invincible beings existing on another level; currently, he was far from being able to contend with them.

He ascended to the Space Gate of the Second Pass, where there was a Domain Gate leading specifically to the Third Pass. It would not normally open for Ancient Road Testers, but Ye Chen was an exception.

Watching Ye Chen's silhouette ascending the Space Gate, many Ancient Road Testers felt a surge of fervor and admiration. This was the true dominator of the Ultimate Ancient Road, capable of waging war against Ancient Great Powers, fearless of everything, someone they needed to look up to.

He emanated an aura of true invincibility, like a blazing sun rising high, compared to which even the strongest heroes seemed like flickering flames competing with the bright moon, completely overshadowed.

Only such Supreme Genius could be the true target of their lifelong pursuit.

The Blood Desolate Eight Riders, Blood Robe Building Owner, Ancient King Panshi, Nine Sword King, and the strongest Heavenly Human heroes watched Ye Chen's departing figure in silence, acknowledging that the Combat Saint King had truly risen, pulling far ahead of them, unreachable. They could only watch Ye Chen's heroic silhouette, with a somewhat dimmed heart for Dao.

Boom—

Ye Chen embarked on his journey!

Soon after, he exited the Space Channel and appeared in the Third Pass.

Although Ye Chen had long been aware of the formidable nature of the Forbidden Soul Hall who hoped to fully dominate the Ultimate Ancient Road, seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

What lay before him wasn't a majestic Starry Sky Ancient City, but an endless expanse of scattered rubble amidst the stars, with shattered city gates, fragmented palace buildings, accompanied by blood, dismembered limbs, and numerous carcasses void of life.

Only the plaque with the partially cracked "Three" character indicated that this was once the Third Pass of the Ultimate Ancient Road.

It can be imagined that the Third Pass wasn't as fortunate as the Second. After all, the Forbidden Soul Hall initially didn't attack the Trial Ancient Pass of the Second Pass but went to the Trial Secret Realm first, only to eventually fail. Otherwise, it would have also succumbed to destruction.

Among the stars, many strong Ancient Road beings and Ancient Road Testers died with grievances, indicating how fierce that battle must have been.

Ye Chen stood silently for a long time, finding fragments of Great Power Level Ancient Weapons and traces of Great Power blood, realizing that even the guardian powers had fallen, perishing in the Dao.

He collected some, but couldn't find complete pieces; some parts either completely vanished or rushed into the cosmic depths, making them difficult to locate.

Ye Chen buried the collected fragments into the starry sky, providing a somewhat dignified burial for the guardian powers of the Third Pass.

Soon after, Ye Chen set out on his journey again, stepping on the cauldron, heading into the cosmic depths, following the coordinates given by the guardian powers, advancing toward the Trial Ancient Pass.

Undoubtedly, the battles between the Ultimate Ancient Road and the Forbidden Soul Hall had long-lasting impacts. As Ye Chen progressed, passing through trial after trial Ancient Pass, he discovered most were shattered, with blood staining the starry sky, countless dismembered limbs, and heavily damaged Ancient Passes with severe losses.

During his journey, he passed the Fifth Trial Continent he once battled on, but it also couldn't escape unscathed and completely fragmented, lost in the starry sky.

Standing on a relatively large continent fragment, Ye Chen looked down at the broken Ancient Continent scattered across the cosmic expanse, accompanied by numerous dismembered limbs and vast amounts of blood, and couldn't help but recall memories from a century ago.

He had once fought here, entered the Undying Divine Island, obtained the Undying Immortal Spring, beheld the Emperor Blood Seal of the Combat Saint Ancestor, gained the Forbidden Chapter, encountered mysterious Ancient Beasts, and battled against the strongest heroes from various Ancient Universes, defeating young Supremes from alien races, overcoming the Emperor's Dark Prison, and confronting other young Supremes and Emperor's sons, achieving unparalleled fame that shook the Ultimate Ancient Road at the time.

However, all of these have been completely destroyed; even the guardian powers of the Fifth Trial Continent fell, staining the starry sky with blood. The leader who once guarded many Human Clan cultivators faced a tragic death due to a sudden attack by the Forbidden Soul Hall.

No one could escape unscathed.

Ye Chen eventually found the remains of that leader, regrettably incomplete, unable to rest in one piece, bringing sadness to Ye Chen, who buried him in the starry heavens, silently paying respects.

After a long time, Ye Chen left, continuing on his journey toward the Ultimate Ancient Road's end.

The starry sky was vast and endless, even someone as powerful as Ye Chen couldn't traverse it instantly, and it was easy to become lost; the weaker might never return if lost.

Since many Trial Ancient Passes were shattered, coordinates became useless. Ultimately, Ye Chen could only rely on his intuition to search, seeking the Trial Ancient Passes farther along the Ultimate Ancient Road.

As he progressed, Ye Chen witnessed so much, so much.

On this road, he delved deep into many corners of the Ancient Universe's starry sky, encountering one crisis after another despite his strength. He faced experts from the Forbidden Soul Hall, encountered mysterious fierce beasts in the cosmos, adventured through Cosmic Secret Realms, got trapped in terrifying killing arrays left by ancient divine wars, dueling devouring heavenly great power-level starry wraiths, and even nearly faced terrifying beings on the brink of entering the King Realm, almost perishing in the stomach of a Starry Ancient Beast...

He narrowly escaped danger multiple times, experiencing a lot in the vast cosmic expanse for a total of twenty years, a journey longer than imagined.

More pressing was the threat from the Forbidden Soul Hall. Learning Ye Chen was a Chaos Cultivator, they sent Supreme Powers multiple times to chase him into the cosmic depths.

Thankfully, as a Chaos Cultivator, Chaos could annihilate all, concealing heavenly mechanisms, making it difficult even for the Forbidden Soul Hall to track Ye Chen, though their pursuit never ceased over the years.

The most precarious occasion arose when he truly encountered them; three Ancient Great Powers pursued him, including one Supreme Power no weaker than Void Realm Great Power, hunting Ye Chen through the starry sky.

The battle was fierce, forcing Ye Chen to utilize the Chaos Origin Light Group's power at the critical moment, restoring his cultivation to the Absolute Peak to counter them, battling across several Star Domains, leaving many shattered stars. Finally, he explosively defeated one Forbidden Soul Hall Great Power, then bathed in blood while fleeing, leaving only a spread of Chaos Ancient Energy, vanishing without a trace.

However, this battle left Ye Chen severely injured, and the Chaos Origin Light Group's inability to fully suppress killing intent left him in a dire state, healing in a Star Domain by absorbing the Heavenly Stars Power and internal magma forces until recovery a year later.

By then, Ye Chen had been on his journey for twenty years!
