"But if one were to say that an Immortal King Realm exists in this world, they would be it!"
Tai Sheng Huang's words shocked the world and filled them with immense awe. The Heavenly Emperor, the Battle Saint Emperor, and Tai Sheng Huang had all slain Emperors and Sovereigns, their combat power surpassing that of other Emperors and Sovereigns.
If an Immortal King Realm truly existed, these four ancient Emperors and Sovereigns who had slain true Emperors and Sovereigns would all be qualified to be called Immortal Kings.
Ye Chen, in particular, shuddered, his saintly blood boiling. The Emperor and Saint Ancestor of the Battle Saint lineage was actually powerful to this extent, truly worthy of being the invincible existence who founded the Battle Saint path.
"Of course, this is merely a hypothetical," Tai Sheng Huang said. "It is not to say that the other Emperors and Sovereigns are inferior. In fact, those who can become Emperors or Sovereigns are among the most dazzling figures of ancient and modern times, capable of being invincible across the ages. It is just that these four Emperors and Sovereigns have all slain true Emperors and Sovereigns, possessing such battle records."
Regardless, in the hearts of the people, they felt these four Emperors and Sovereigns could rank at the forefront among the mythical Emperors and Sovereigns, at least in terms of combat power.
Boom—
Among the many Great Powers, one person did not submit or kneel, his body still upright. It was the Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate. Behind him, an immensely majestic ancient gate materialized, towering into the starry sky, inscribed with images of all living beings across the myriad realms and scenes of alien races. It resembled the Profound Ancient Gate, also emanating a special aura.
At this moment, the Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate seemed lost in thought, or as if another person had taken over. His gaze was extremely profound, within which terrifying scenes of cosmic collapse actually appeared, as if reflecting the various scenes of the great destruction of the Mythical Era. Even the ancient Great Sages dared not look directly at him.
Tai Sheng Huang looked at the Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate, not blaming him. On the contrary, he regarded him with a grave attitude, saying, "You are familiar. It seems I have seen you in the Mythical Era, perhaps we once fought side by side. I have seen this ancient gate before."
The crowd shuddered. The Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate actually had such a shocking origin, stemming from the Mythical Era, and had even fought alongside Emperors and Sovereigns.
Ye Chen was also shocked. He had long known the Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate had a tremendous origin, but he hadn't expected it to be this great.
"Who am I?" the Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate spoke, his gaze as deep as if containing a universe, as if a supreme existence spanning epoch after epoch lay dormant within, yet also filled with confusion, having forgotten the most important part.
Tai Sheng Huang shook his head and sighed lightly, "I have forgotten. Or rather, I do not possess this part of the memory. I am merely an Imprint left behind by my true self, possessing only partial memories. I also feel you are familiar, having seen you in the Mythical Era."
The Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate fell silent. The mysterious ancient gate within him would only autonomously awaken when facing an invincible existence.
The ancient gate stood between heaven and earth, not inferior to the Profound Ancient Gate, nor lacking compared to the Immortal Heavenly Pass.
But in the end, the ancient gate dissipated. The Gate Lord of the Heavenly Gate returned to normal. He was aware of everything that had just happened, remaining silent, lost in thought.
"Great Emperor, may I ask, is the land beyond the Profound Ancient Gate truly a place of creation, where one can attain eternal life and immortality, and even revive the dead?"
An ancient Great Sage spoke up, his gaze blazing. The other ancient Great Sages all looked at Tai Sheng Huang.
This was their true purpose in attacking the Profound Ancient Gate.
Tai Sheng Huang, however, shook his head. "It cannot be spoken. Only by venturing in oneself can one learn everything."
This was disappointing, but no one dared to blame or pressure him, for this was an invincible Emperor and Sovereign. If he truly acted, perhaps a single glance from him would be enough to reduce even an ancient Great Sage to ashes.
No one would underestimate him.
Tai Sheng Huang's figure gradually grew hazy. After all, he was merely an Imprint and could not endure long in the world, causing all living beings to grieve.
Whoosh, whoosh—
Tai Sheng Huang first shot out two beams of divine radiance, which entered the bodies of the two Imperial Sons, helping them activate their Emperor's Supreme bloodline to the greatest extent. Their blood energy rumbled and exploded. He sighed lightly, "Children, I hope in this epoch, you too can break the restraints of heaven and earth and achieve the supreme realm of Emperor and Sovereign."
"Your sons will certainly live up to Father's high expectations," the two Imperial Sons knelt down and said earnestly.
But Tai Sheng Huang shook his head and sighed softly, whispering, "Actually, I do not wish this for you. I only hope you can live a happy and carefree life. Ordinary peace is a blessing—"
These words seemed to convey all the vicissitudes of the world, leaving people puzzled. What did Tai Sheng Huang mean by this?
But Tai Sheng Huang did not elaborate. He turned to look at Ye Chen, his profound gaze instantly seeing through almost everything about Ye Chen.
Especially when he looked at Ye Chen's abdomen, within the dantian space there, a mysterious divine stone coffin was actually trembling slightly, with primordial Chaos Qi flowing within, as if capable of destroying the world.
With a shudder through his entire body, the divine stone coffin within Ye Chen flew out directly. Primordial Chaos Qi surged tumultuously. The Human Sovereign Pagoda also flew out, all thirty-three layers flowing with vast amounts of primordial Chaos Qi.
"So it really is you. Could it be that you have truly fallen as well?" Tai Sheng Huang spoke, staring at the divine stone coffin. Billions of layers of radiance flowed from his body, carrying the supreme laws of Emperors and Sovereigns, all pouring into the divine stone coffin.
The stone coffin trembled, but it actually absorbed everything. One must know these were Emperor and Sovereign laws; a single wisp could slay a Saint Lord or even a Heavenly King. With so many absorbed, what kind of heaven-defying existence was buried within this divine stone coffin?
In the end, Tai Sheng Huang's radiance receded, and he also grew much more faint and illusory, having expended energy. After all, he was merely an Imprint, causing the two Imperial Sons sorrow.
Tai Sheng Huang returned the divine stone coffin to within Ye Chen's body, sighing lightly, "I hope to see your emergence in the future."
Finally, Tai Sheng Huang's gaze fell upon Ye Chen himself, also seeing through everything about him, saying, "A truly extraordinary Supreme One and genius. In this epoch, relying on yourself alone, you broke the shackles of the incomplete Heavenly Dao, achieving the mythical Tenth Heaven, blessed with great fortune. Moreover, I sense that you are also pioneering the Chaos Dao and have created its most initial part, which is even better than what I accomplished back then."
"My appearance here is perhaps to await your arrival, to pass on to you the Chaos Great Dao that my true self once attempted but failed to perfect."
"I shall impart it to you now. I hope you can comprehend it well and perfect it completely. You may be the key person of this epoch."
Tai Sheng Huang raised his hand and pointed out a beam of chaotic light, which entered between Ye Chen's eyebrows.
This contained Tai Sheng Huang's understanding of chaos, which he had once pioneered. Although he failed, his achievements in this Dao surpassed anyone else's.
Ye Chen was astonished. One of his original purposes in coming to the Ancient Emperor World was to obtain Tai Sheng Huang's supreme inheritance, but he had not succeeded. He never expected to obtain it effortlessly now.
Boom—
With a shudder through his entire body, Ye Chen immediately entered a meditative state. Primordial Chaos Qi surged and intertwined around him, transforming into a Chaos Furnace that enveloped his body, floating in the void.
