Indeed, the Fifth Trial Continent was the legendary fifth gate of the Ultimate Ancient Path.
This was the accurate information Ye Chen had obtained; it could not be false.
No wonder there were so many primordial exotic beasts and divine birds extinct in the Myriad Domains, with various races coexisting and alien races holding dominance. No wonder he could sense resonance with the Tenth Heaven, and so many of the strongest prodigies had descended. Everything was because this was the Ultimate Ancient Path.
In fact, even he found it hard to believe that he had entered this legendary Ultimate Ancient Path without taking the ancient paths provided by the Myriad Realms Academy or the Dragon Phoenix Academy, arriving at the fifth gate ahead of the strongest prodigies from other ancient universes.
Looking back, no wonder he had never heard of the Forbidden Deadly Domain—it was no longer within the myriad heavens and domains but had long since departed.
However, why he had reached the Ultimate Ancient Path was something even Ye Chen was puzzled about. He had originally only intended to use the Void God Platform to traverse the void and rush to the Emperor's Pass. Unfortunately, after entering the Forbidden Deadly Domain, enduring a bloody battle to leave it, he had encountered the Fifth Trial Continent.
He suddenly looked up at the sky, sensing there must be some unknown peculiarity behind this.
But since he had encountered it, he would adapt. Ye Chen was someone who adapted quickly, and he had a feeling that since he had not entered the Ultimate Ancient Path from the correct location, he would be sent away and could not remain here for long.
This was his premonition, and it would not be wrong.
He could not linger for too long.
He needed to completely transform the divine power of his Great Dao within himself, achieving true perfection before leaving.
Outside the ancient city, terrifying battles occurred from time to time. Those descended strongest prodigies from various races were truly powerful, each like deities, wreathed in immortal divine radiance, roaming freely across the Fifth Trial Continent.
Many primordial exotic beasts and divine birds suffered, torn in half, shattered to pieces, and perishing in the great wilderness.
But among them were also extremely powerful primordial exotic beasts and divine birds, kings among them, peerlessly strong, capable of tearing the heavens and splitting the earth, omnipotent. Some of the descended prodigies were also torn apart, crushed, and devoured by them, a truly fearsome sight.
It could be said that the primordial ancient lands outside the ancient city were basically stained red with the blood of the powerhouses, a scene of utter devastation.
Fortunately, as the treasure pavilion owner had said, none of the ancient cities were battlefields for these strongest prodigies. Because of the warning from the Continent Master—an invincible, terrifying existence—the strongest prodigies of all races dared not shift the flames of war into these ancient cities.
Earlier, when some arrogant and unruly young supreme powerhouses tried to spread the war to the continent's ancient cities, a vast, majestic pressure surged from the ancient continent, sweeping over and ordering these descended young deities to cease, or face extermination. This forced the strongest prodigies of all races to stop.
During this time, Ye Chen's eyes opened and closed as he gazed beyond the city walls, watching the strongest prodigies of various races in duels. However, he did not see any of the familiar young supremes from the Myriad Domains, nor any Imperial Sons, nor any human race Heaven's Pride appearing. They were all the strongest prodigies from other ancient universes.
This caused Ye Chen's heart to sink slightly, but he shook his head. He refused to believe that not a single one of them could come to the Fifth Trial Continent. Those Imperial Sons were each invincible among the powerhouses, their bloodline power astonishing to the world. How could they not come here? There must be other factors at play.
Boom—
On this very day, within the ancient city where Ye Chen resided, a powerful prodigy suddenly descended.
It was a handsome young man with dark hair cascading down, his body wreathed in a sinister black light, possessing a unique, eerie beauty.
Moreover, he had a single eye in the center of his forehead. It was not open, but it gave off a terrifying sense of pressure. Everyone believed that once this single eye opened, it would be absolutely horrifying, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
He descended directly into this ancient city, spreading a powerful Dao pressure that terrified all the Cultivators within.
Among them, many alien race Cultivators appeared, accompanied by fleets of divine ships, carriages, exotic beasts, and other entourages, personally coming to welcome him.
Without a doubt, this young prodigy was an alien race prodigy. He was extremely powerful and warmly welcomed by the alien race powerhouses within the city. Even some fearsome older-generation powerhouses appeared to give him a fervent welcome.
“Heavenly King!?”
Ye Chen was slightly startled. This three-eyed alien race prodigy was truly powerful, having actually reached the Heavenly King realm.
Clearly, this alien race prodigy held a very high status among the alien races, receiving welcomes everywhere; otherwise, it would not be like this.
From the conversation of the alien race powerhouses, it was learned that this three-eyed alien race prodigy was named Ancient Xun King, a powerful prodigy and Heaven's Pride of the alien race, belonging to the Imperial Clan prodigies of the alien race. He was extremely powerful, his cultivation far surpassing that of many older-generation alien race members.
Ancient Xun King walked on the streets of the ancient city, floating three inches off the ground, his feet not touching the earth. His entire body was enveloped in a layer of black light, looking very sinister, like a demon king, sending chills down people's spines.
Wherever he passed, the Cultivators of various races within the city hurriedly retreated, not daring to provoke him.
Ancient Xun King's steps suddenly halted because he had discovered that there were humans within the ancient city. He coldly spoke, “Humans? I didn't expect such a vile, lowly race as the human race to still exist in the city. Why haven't you driven them out?”
He looked down from on high, treating the human race as an ant-like race, dismissing them with contempt, not placing them in his eyes at all.
Within the ancient city, there were still many humans. Hearing Ancient Xun King's words, they were all furious. Even though the human race's circumstances had worsened day by day over the years, they should not be despised like this.
However, they dared to be angry but not speak up, because the alien race was powerful, and this Ancient Xun King before them was the strongest prodigy of the alien race to descend upon this ancient continent, an alien race Heavenly King, powerful to an excessive degree. How could they dare to oppose him?
In fact, if not for the protection of the Continent Master over these years, the human race would have long been extinct on the Fifth Trial Continent because the alien race was too powerful.
Beside him, an alien race powerhouse from the ancient city spoke up: “Your Highness, you may not know. The Continent Master does not allow us to excessively oppress the human race, restricting the powerhouses of our realm. Moreover, we have heard that in this epoch, Heaven's Pride Prodigies from the Sealed Boundary Universe have also come, including Imperial Sons and others. If we slaughter the humans, we fear it might trigger the most terrible war prematurely.”
Although the alien race was powerful, in this epoch, the sealed Imperial Sons of the Sealed Boundary Universe were emerging one after another.
Furthermore, it was heard that the Heaven's Pride of this epoch's Sealed Boundary were extraordinary, having actually broken through shackles and cultivated to the Tenth Heaven level despite lacking one Heaven, powerful beyond imagination, causing no small amount of worry.
But Ancient Xun King sneered coldly: “So what if a war breaks out? Don't you know that our realm is about to attack the Sealed Boundary Universe? Moreover, the Sealed Boundary Universe was utterly defeated in the previous epoch. In this epoch, lacking Emperors and Sovereigns, do they still think they can survive? Ridiculous. Let them fight. As for those so-called Heaven's Pride Prodigies of the Sealed Boundary Universe, they will naturally be completely annihilated.”
“Yes!”
The other alien race powerhouses spoke up. Clearly, today, a terrible massacre was about to take place. The alien race was going to completely move against the humans within the city.
On the treasure pavilion, Ye Chen stood up tall, his eyes flashing with cold lightning. His voice was slightly icy as he said, “In front of me, you want to slaughter the human race? I'll annihilate your alien race first!”
