Far away in another remote borderland of the Fifth Trial Continent, this place was sparsely populated and rarely visited by the Strongest Prodigies, making it a rare haven of peace.
Crack—
At that very moment, the tranquility was shattered. The void was suddenly torn open like paper, revealing a massive, pitch-black spatial rift. Two figures and two small beasts rushed out from within, and then the void sealed itself, accompanied by wisps of ancient chaotic qi that erased all traces, making it impossible to track them.
Naturally, they were Ye Chen, Will, Yiyi, and the Golden Little Divine Dragon.
The moment the figures emerged, Ye Chen staggered, nearly falling from mid-air. Will caught him, his face etched with worry. "Qian Yue, what's wrong?"
Ye Chen quickly steadied himself, landing on a flat patch of ground. He shook his head at the concerned Will and the two little beasts, indicating he was fine.
Will frowned. "Qian Yue, what exactly happened? Although that An Yu is strong, you're not far behind him. At worst, you shouldn't have suffered Dao injuries. Or is he truly powerful to that extent?"
Ye Chen's blood energy rumbled within him. Only after a long while did it settle down, and his pale complexion regained its rosy hue. He then explained, "You've misunderstood. It has nothing to do with him. It's just that I converted divine power too hastily not long ago, causing the divine power to become chaotic. Using too much of it in the battle led to an eruption of this power within my body, resulting in these injuries."
He explained, signaling they needn't worry too much. He just needed to properly seclude himself and recuperate for a few days to fully recover to his peak state.
Though Ye Chen made it sound easy, Will understood how dangerous an internal eruption of divine power was—almost no less than a Heavenly King's Dao weapon self-destructing inside one's body. That terrifying force was something even an ordinary Heavenly King, let alone a Strongest Prodigy, could withstand; they would be utterly annihilated.
Only Ye Chen, being sufficiently powerful, could endure it. However, under the dual assault of the divine power's great eruption and the alien race's young generation's supreme An Yu, even Ye Chen sustained injuries. It was precisely for this reason that he had no choice but to retreat and leave.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the alien race's young generation's supreme An Yu was, it would have been difficult for him to inflict Dao injuries on Ye Chen.
Over the next few days, Ye Chen carved out a small pocket dimension and concealed it here. He entered it to seclude himself and recuperate, leaving Will and the others to stand guard.
Boom—
Within the pocket dimension, which spanned no more than ten zhang, Ye Chen sat cross-legged in meditation. His golden blood energy boiled, deafeningly loud, like a thousand layers of raging waves crashing, threatening to shatter the small dimension yet somehow holding firm.
The Sacred Body Regeneration Art operated continuously, repeatedly repairing the injuries within his body.
In the end, some of his old hair fell out and regrew. Strands of his hair now shimmered with a brilliant golden radiance, appearing supremely divine and holy.
Three days later, Ye Chen finally emerged from seclusion, having fully recovered to his peak state. Yet his aura was completely restrained. Even a young generation's supreme like Will would find it difficult to detect Ye Chen's presence without careful perception, making him marvel at how terrifying this guy was.
Will was a know-it-all. Although he had been guarding Ye Chen's seclusion, he had used other channels over these three days to gather much news from the outside world.
Young generation's supremes had descended!
This was the most shocking news. And it wasn't just the alien race's young generation's supreme An Yu; other young generation's supremes had also descended one after another. Even from the Sealed Boundary Universe—the universe where the Myriad Realms resided—young generation's supremes had descended.
The young generation's supremes from the two universes nearly clashed in fierce battle. An Yu was very aggressive and violent. Because Ye Chen had slain five alien race Strongest Prodigies in a single day, this was the greatest provocation to the alien race. Furthermore, three were killed right under his nose, which infuriated him. He also intended to take action, to eliminate the young generation's supremes from the Sealed Boundary Universe to establish his prestige.
But in the end, he retreated because the master of the Fifth Trial Continent intervened. The young generation's supremes from the Sealed Boundary Universe were all within the Trial Ancient City. An Yu wanted to act within the Trial Ancient City, but the master of the Fifth Trial Continent forbade it.
An ancient great power—even An Yu dared not openly defy such a figure. Thus, he retreated, and a battle that seemed imminent ended before it even began.
"Who came?" Ye Chen inquired. He wanted to know which young generation's supremes from the Sealed Boundary Universe had arrived.
An Yu was very powerful; he was undoubtedly a peerless imperial son, having achieved the Tenth Heaven Great Perfection starting from the Demigod Realm. If young generation's supremes like the Sun God, Will, or Feng Wu, who only achieved the Tenth Heaven at the Saint Realm, encountered him, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"It's not clear, because the young generation's supremes from our world are all very mysterious. But it's probably that guy Yuan Yao Divine King who came. He confronted An Yu head-on," Will said. However, when mentioning this name, both he and Ye Chen couldn't help but frown.
Because Yuan Yao Divine King was definitely one of the most mysterious young generation's supremes. Even back when he was a True King, he was incredibly enigmatic. Even Ye Chen found it difficult to estimate the true extent of this person's cultivation, but he was undoubtedly transcendent and extraordinary, astonishingly so.
He believed that Yuan Yao Divine King was absolutely terrifying, not an ordinary young generation's supreme. Even if An Yu took action, he likely wouldn't gain much advantage against Yuan Yao Divine King.
"There's another person you probably wouldn't expect," Will suddenly said.
Ye Chen asked, "Who?"
"Zhao Chen!"
When this name was uttered from Will's mouth, even Ye Chen was momentarily stunned.
Zhao Chen was an old acquaintance, an acquaintance from his past life as Qian Yue. They both originated from the Heavenly Gate. More importantly, this Zhao Chen was the younger brother of the Goddess Zhao Jingruo, which also made him Ye Chen's brother-in-law.
But Zhao Chen was very mysterious, even comparable to Yuan Yao Divine King. Although they had never crossed hands, his experiences from his past life told him that Zhao Chen's strength was unfathomably deep and not to be underestimated.
It's just that Zhao Chen had been gone for many years. He never expected that he had also embarked on the Ultimate Ancient Path, which left him somewhat taken aback.
"Where is he?" Ye Chen asked.
Will shook his head. "Your wife's brother has always been incredibly mysterious. I only got some rumors, suspecting he came to the Fifth Trial Continent. However, I do know that Zhao Chen once fought with an alien race's young generation's supreme and retreated unscathed. The other party couldn't do anything to him. That guy is ridiculously strong."
Ye Chen nodded. Zhao Chen was undoubtedly also a young generation's supreme, but he was far too mysterious. Since his reincarnation in this life, he hadn't truly met him face to face.
He suddenly looked up at the sky. He felt that his time remaining on the Ultimate Ancient Path was running short. Not landing at the correct location would eventually lead to being expelled and leaving.
He hoped to see Zhao Chen once before leaving. After all, he was an old acquaintance from the past, his wife's younger brother, and his own brother-in-law.
Naturally, during this time, Ye Chen had informed Will of his, Yiyi's, and the Golden Little Divine Dragon's true origins. Will's eyes widened in shock, and he said dumbfoundedly, "Holy crap, Xiao Yue Yue, your backgrounds are way too fantastical. How did you even manage to get in? Did you guys enter a time-space tunnel or something?"
Ye Chen smiled. "Perhaps."
Not long after, a powerful fluctuation suddenly appeared. The sky was torn open once more, and another Undying Divine Island descended.
And this Undying Divine Island was different from all the previous ones that had descended. Because it contained vitality many times more abundant, with clusters of Heaven and Earth Life Sources floating within it. Its life force was peerless and unparalleled, utterly astonishing.
The true Undying Divine Island had descended!
