Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 784 - 727: The Invincible Secrets of the Combat Lineage

After an arduous journey, he had fought through thousands of soldiers before he finally entered the city and approached the Dark Night Ancient Hall, only to find that all of this was just the beginning.

Because the most terrifying fact had ultimately occurred.

A Heavenly King was actually personally overseeing the trial.

Facing an invincible Heavenly King, even if everyone joined forces, victory was impossible, because the gap was not just a Great Realm, but an entire cycle of Reincarnation. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

How could they compete, how could they contend—it was simply an unsolvable conclusion.

Even True Kings bore extremely grave expressions, naturally, powerful as they were, almost all hailing from the Supreme Sacred Land, and even figures like Ye Gucheng and Nuoxius who were from the Emperor and Royal Family had terrifying backgrounds and each possessed earth-shattering methods.

But these were their true trump cards, which they really didn’t want to use unless absolutely necessary.

Because there was still a mysterious Ancient Divine Domain.

Even Ye Chen felt this way, able to instantly penetrate the Gulan World, wield the World Power, and mobilize the Power of Faith, but in the end, those were external forces, ones he naturally didn’t want to use unless absolutely necessary.

"There’s no need to worry, old man is merely testing you on the behalf of Dragon Phoenix Academy, not with my real body, but rather a manifested Dao Body, not even reaching half my strength. Moreover, whoever among you can break into the Ancient Hall, shall be considered as having passed."

The First Great Bandit spoke, not with his real body, but merely an incarnation, and moreover, the challenge was very simple—just rushing into the Ancient Hall was enough to earn a place, surprisingly easy.

Yet, no one breathed a sigh of relief, for this was a real Heavenly King, whose half strength was still far beyond theirs by who knows how many folds.

How difficult it would be to break in from the hands of a Heavenly King.

But it was impossible for everyone to give up the slot for the Ancient Divine Domain; they all made their moves.

Especially the Heavenly talents—with as many as two thousand five hundred rushing in, including King-level talents, three Holy Realm Kings, a dozen True Kings, and other Super Experts, who, at the first opportunity, rushed toward the Dark Night Ancient Hall that was more majestic than a mountain.

The best approach was a collective assault, especially since they only needed to rush into the Ancient Hall— even a Heavenly King couldn’t possibly cover every direction thoroughly, because this was no ordinary person; there were also fearsome True Kings.

Yet, who could have anticipated that the First Great Bandit would merely smile slightly, exhale a breath of Immortal Energy, and immediately transform into twelve beams of Sky Light, bursting out from the Star River, eventually materializing twelve figures, each only five feet tall, but all radiated fierce Divine Power, and their majesty was terrifying.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out they were the creatures of the twelve zodiac signs—rat, ox, tiger, dragon, monkey, etc., and much more majestic at that, with sturdy and brawny physiques, clad in clanging Battle Armor, shining brightly, standing in front of the Ancient Hall, blocking the path of all comers.

"These are the legendary Twelve Zodiac War Generals, manifested; they are the War Souls subjugated by the First Great Bandit in his lifetime, and, combined with the Mystical Technique he cultivated, gave birth to these twelve fierce generals, each possessing astonishing strength not weaker than a Saint, and even more powerful."

The Heavenly talents naturally had seen much and knew a great deal—they recognized these as the Twelve Zodiac War Generals, and astoundingly strong at that, not weaker than a Saint, with Mana as boundless as the sea, and their War Bodies were even more terrifying, a powerful method of the First Great Bandit, renowned in the Ten Thousand Domains.

In the world, who else could have collected twelve Saint Masters for their own use, even in the Immortal Sacred Land, they would be true masters; such Mystical Technique and secret techniques were astonishing.

Although it was just the Dao Body being utilized, each head was no weaker than a Heroic Master, and the War Body was even on par with a Saint, capable of continuously drawing upon the Heavenly King Origin Power. That was the truly terrifying part.

As long as the Heavenly King’s Dao Body was not killed, it was almost impossible to kill him, for a Heavenly King could continuously absorb the Heavenly Earth Power, and his presence merged into the Star River was even more terrifying.

Such a technique was indeed headache-inducing, instantly reducing the force of True King Level by a large margin. Dealing with one Heavenly King had become a lot simpler.

Only the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor curled his lips in disdain, saying, "Although it’s not bad, compared to the person in the legends, it’s far from enough, not even worthy of mentioning."

Ye Chen was surprised by these words and asked, "What’s the whole story?"

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor seemed to have a lot of patience: "This First Great Bandit has merely cultivated based on the techniques of that invincible figure from the Mythical Era, probably acquiring a portion of his secret techniques. Otherwise, as a Heavenly King, it would be very difficult for him to have cultivated it."

"Who is it?"

"The first owner of Heavenly Desolation, the King of Kings."

Ye Chen understood without needing any further explanation; it was that Supreme Emperor, known as the strongest under the Mythical Emperor and the Emperor, without equal.

Other Supreme Emperors all acknowledged their inferiority to him.

Though he still hadn’t officially proved himself as Emperor, the strength of his Physical Treasure Body was not inferior to Emperor and Emperor, even capable of battling them—a frightening existence indeed.

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor added, "The twelve Zodiac War Generals of this First Great Bandit are comparable to Saints, but you must understand that the King of Kings of old directly created twelve King Battle Ancestors for his use, incomparably stronger than what we have before us."

Even though Ye Chen already knew about the strength of the King of Kings, he hadn’t expected it to be this terrifying.

To think that the twelve War Generals actually amounted to as many as twelve individuals! It should be understood that throughout this epoch, the number of Kings could be counted on one’s fingers; otherwise, the Ancient Human Emperor would not have had to go to battle against the Three Great Demon Lords with a certain-death resolution so soon after becoming Emperor.

"Little Moon, don’t be surprised. That King of Kings was not an Emperor, but he was a man who could contend with Emperor and Emperor, possessing the hope of becoming Emperor. It’s a pity he didn’t become Emperor before the great destruction of the Mythical Era; otherwise, he would have surely become Emperor."

"Moreover, the Combat Saint Lineage truly defies the heavens. The first-generation Saint Ancestor, that is, the Combat Saint’s ancestor, when talking about the Mythical Emperor and the Emperor, he was also an existence no weaker than the most ancient Heavenly Emperor, the strongest existence in the Mythical Era."

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor seemed to know many secrets, all of which were extraordinary and earth-shattering.

Ye Chen was astonished. Although he knew that the first-generation Saint Ancestor was a Mythical Emperor and Emperor, he had not expected his strength to be comparable to the most ancient and powerful existence of heaven and earth.

That was the first Great Emperor of the Chaos Heaven and Earth Creation, known as the Heavenly Emperor, ancient and supreme, having taught the existence of Emperor and Emperor. The fact that the first-generation Saint Ancestor could stand shoulder to shoulder with him was incredible.

"With an unparalleled Holy Body, Combat is invincible," was a saying that had spread from the Mythical Era. In that era, as long as one was a Combat Saint, one could stand alongside the Supreme Heir. The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor shook his head, "And it’s said that the first-generation Saint Ancestor’s first life was defying the heavens..."

He paused, seeming to feel that this was taboo, and did not continue.

Ye Chen sighed lightly; although he was a contemporary successor of the Combat Saint Lineage, this epoch had seen the decline of one of the strongest legacies of the past Mythical Era—the Combat lineage.
