Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 1576 - 1407: The Eighteenth Gate!

During the twenty years of battle under the starry sky, Ye Chen's cultivation advanced once more, steadily progressing. From originally the Seventh Layer Heaven, he painstakingly retrained and returned, now standing firmly at the level of the Ten-layered Heaven Absolute Peak, inching closer to the Ancient Great Power Domain.

Furthermore, the refining of the Chaos Origin Light Group deepened, yet no matter the effort, he remained a step away from complete refinement, hindered by a mysterious barrier.

But it can be said that at this moment, Ye Chen is already the number one person below the Great Power level, deemed a half-step Great Power.

This realm was actually the so-called "Chaos" domain he awoke to from the Divine Stone Coffin, yet for a Chaos Cultivator like him, it is merely a difference in terminology.

However, Ye Chen knows well, though standing at half-step Great Power, his cultivation rivals or even surpasses typical Great Power, but breaking into the Great Power Realm requires more effort. He feels that once successful, he will truly achieve Chaos Great Power, far more terrifying than ordinary Great Power, needing greater accumulation.

Thus, Ye Chen sealed his own cultivation again, contained within itself, and resumed hardship, rebuilding from the Heavenly King First Layer Heaven.

He began to journey across the starry skies, traversing numerous Secret Realms, surviving close calls several times; taking only ten years to again reach the Ten-layered Heaven Absolute Peak.

It can be said, now he possesses the Dao Power of three Ten-layered Heaven Absolute Peaks, just that one compresses the Chaos Origin Light Group, one is sealed, and the other is now possessed.

Now should he wish to challenge the Ancient Great Power, he has a certain chance of success.

Yet Ye Chen always feels something is missing, the accumulation isn't enough, but instead of sealing and starting anew, he continues naturally.

At this time, Ye Chen has gradually discovered some Life Ancient Stars, realizing the Ultimate Ancient Road and Forbidden Soul Hall's conflict is becoming oppositional, no longer battling, but tensions remain high.

Ye Chen has been lost in the starry sky for thirty-three years.

This year, Ye Chen finally found a shattered path, scattered with coordinates pointing continuously to a corner deep within the starry sky, directed at the Ultimate Ancient Road.

Ye Chen lightly sighed, realizing he is finally going to reach the true Ultimate Ancient Road; lost any longer and he would go mad.

However, many of these coordinates were broken, failing to truly point the way and instead leading in the wrong direction, causing Ye Chen to wander senselessly for three more months. Eventually, he saw the emergence of a grand Heroic Pass standing in the depths, remarkably prominent.

Eighteen!

A striking ancient character adorned the city gate of that Starry Sky Ancient City— the Eighteenth Gate of the Ultimate Ancient Road, thriving within, with flows of light rushing from all directions into the Heroic Pass, turning into powerful figures descending.

Among them were many young figures, all strong, many residing in the Heavenly King Realm, with some reaching the Seventh Layer Heaven Super Heavenly King Realm, much stronger than first or second gate's Ancient Road Testers.

Indeed, those reaching the Eighteenth Gate have undergone countless trials, achieving a sufficiently powerful level.

This is the strength of the Ultimate Ancient Road, guiding Ancient Road Testers through numerous trials, rapidly growing stronger, fully awakening their potential, unmatched by powerful factions; one of the main reasons Ancient Universes send their strongest heroes, young supremes, and even Emperor's sons here.

Ye Chen sighed softly, gazing at the Eighteenth Gate with abundant emotions, for thirty years he had struggled to reach this gate, through countless hardships.

Whishing sound—

He rushed into the Eighteenth Gate, witnessing the strongest heroes of various races.

Any who reach here are the elite among Ancient Road Testers, and after the first ten ancient trial gates crumbled, many Ancient Road Testers have traveled solo, as Ye Chen saw many along the journey, enduring hardships to come, naturally powerful.

Many Ancient Road Testers, in these thirty-three years, led by Ancient Road Protectors, waged war against the Forbidden Soul Hall, experiencing numerous battles, some even partaking in Ancient Monarch-led wars, with vast battlefields, combating across tens of thousands of miles of Star Domains.

Within the Eighteenth Gate, every Ancient Road Tester is not to be underestimated and formidable enemies to many.

At this point, Ye Chen hid little, naturally emanating a terrifying Dao Qi Mechanism, appearing far more frightening than other Ancient Road Testers.

Thirty-three years of battle transformed him immensely powerful, like a Divine Sword forged through endless trials, sheathless it shatters stones and skies, obliterating all tangible and intangible.

Ye Chen continued forward, many Ancient Road Testers couldn't help but look, frowning, wary!

Some even sensed Ye Chen's aura, turning pale, for it was the Tenth Layer Heaven Perfection Qi Mechanism, a true young supreme, immensely powerful, with future potential to compete for Ultimate Ancient Road Dominator.

"Another young supreme has arrived, at heavenly king peak, wonder who it is."

In the trial ancient pass, someone whispered.

Another one?

Ye Chen's brow furrowed, clearly the Eighteenth Gate has more than one young supreme, others recently arrived piquing his curiosity, listening from all around.

"Young supremes keep coming, Eighteenth Gate truly is gathering formidable rivals."

"Naturally, as a suspected Emperor Tomb has appeared, impossible not to attract attention."

"Who sleeps within the Emperor Tomb, destined to cause massive waves!"

"Foreseeably, another storm of blood will come, unsure how many will perish, even one or two young supremes might fall."

"Hard to say, reportedly Emperor-level supreme geniuses are also returning, truly manifestations of the grand era."

"Isn't it now the calm before the storm?"

...

Discussions abound in the Eighteenth Gate, Ye Chen spent a day there, learning much information.

From what is known, near the trial land of the Ultimate Ancient Road's Eighteenth Gate, a vast ancient tomb emerged in the Heavenly Burial Domain, covering the sky, suspected an Emperor Tomb, drawing the attention of many Ancient Road Testers.

Among them are many strongest heroes, young supremes, even allegedly Emperor's sons returning from the rear of the Ultimate Ancient Road, desiring to explore the suspected Emperor Tomb, aiming to seize an immense opportunity.
