Had the Battle Saint King, who had fearlessly sacrificed himself a hundred years ago to defend the Emperor's Pass and perished heroically, defied the heavens and returned?
Without a doubt, in the near future, this would inevitably transform into a terrifying storm that would sweep across the myriad realms, stirring up unimaginably colossal and world-shaking waves.
Because that was a dead man, someone who had clearly performed the Sacrificial Offering of himself, someone who in the eyes of all had utterly perished, body and spirit completely annihilated, dead beyond any doubt. Even the Human Sovereign had sent an envoy to offer condolences. How could it be false?
One must know that afterwards, even the Tyrant Heaven Monarch and a group of ancient Great Sages had entered the collapsed Emperor's Pass world and failed to find even a single trace of his remains. How could he possibly be resurrected?
Yet now, he had defied the heavens and returned to life. It was simply like a myth, unbelievable.
"Nothing is impossible. In truth, the Battle Saint King has died more than once. The previous time was also like this, but it seems this time is likely to be even more extraordinary. Just now, facing him, for some reason, I felt a terrifying sense of oppression, as if facing the Great Power ancestors of my clan, but it felt even more frightening, as if all my dao techniques were about to become uncontrollable, unable to manifest."
A Heavenly King spoke gravely. One must know he was a Heavenly King from the Ancient Heavenly Court, which was equivalent to an imperial clan, naturally giving his words great weight.
Yet it was precisely this that made it so shocking. A man who had died again and again, resurrecting from death, as if undying and indestructible, made one marvel at the Battle Saint King's fate. What kind of person could achieve this?
Moreover, what level had the now-resurrected Battle Saint King reached, to actually make even an imperial clan Heavenly King feel such abyssal, prison-like terrifying oppression, his dao techniques almost unusable? It was simply heart-shaking!
However, the man himself was unaware of all this. In the following time, he only awakened some fragmented memories, learning that his name was Ye Chen. Everything else was forgotten.
Leaping into the starry sky beyond the domain, Ye Chen moved with swift strides. With each leap, he traversed vast stretches of the starry sky, incredibly fast, covering distances that were excessively large.
He saw a massive star ahead, perhaps a thousand li in diameter. He had a feeling he could shatter it with a single punch.
Boom—
A punch was thrown. The starry sky collapsed massively. The star ahead suddenly exploded, annihilated, everything reduced to dust.
This was Ye Chen's power. Even he himself drew a sharp breath, shocked.
This was somewhat too terrifying.
It was just that he had lost his proper memories. His mind was a blank slate, unable to recall anything.
Descending once more from the starry sky onto the boundless earth, Ye Chen had an intuition: heading east, he could find the memories that would tell him who he truly was.
No other reason; it was an intuition, and he believed his intuition must be correct.
Rumble—
He shot towards the east, rushing forward rapidly, acting according to his intuition!
Crack—
Ye Chen's journey east was frenzied. Although he no longer understood the various divine abilities and secret arts of the past, his every movement now carried the most terrifying power, easily tearing through the stable void to advance at extreme speed.
Not long after, he forcibly broke into the endless Spatial Turbulence. That place was filled with violent spatial currents everywhere, enough to tear apart a Saint Lord.
But he was invincible. Primordial Chaos Qi swirled around his body, surging skyward. He roamed freely within it. All spatial currents annihilated and calmed before they could even get close, utterly incapable of harming him.
He advanced at extreme speed within the endless Spatial Turbulence like this, astonishingly fast, not at all slower than those using Domain Gates to cross domains, even more effortless and unafraid of spatial storms.
There were also some people using spatial gates to cross domains. But when they saw such a person within the endless Spatial Turbulence, roaming freely, clad in primordial Chaos Qi, terrifying beyond belief, he was practically like a peerless ancient god.
However, when they caught a glimpse of the man's face, those people were shocked. Someone murmured, "Why does he look so much like the Myriad Domains' number one young generation's supreme who buried himself a hundred years ago? Is it really him?"
But they soon shook their heads. "Not very likely. He buried himself, just like the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord. How could he return? He just looks very much like him."
Because that was a dead man, body and spirit completely annihilated. How could he be resurrected? No one believed it.
Naturally, news of everything in the giant crater of the Feixian Domain had not yet reached them. They were unaware.
Ye Chen was also unaware of all this. He quickly increased the distance and finally vanished directly from their sight.
Roaming the endless Spatial Turbulence for a full three days and three nights, he finally burst out, because at this moment he felt he was very close to his destination. Tearing through the void, he arrived at a great domain and descended.
Myriad Saints Domain was the name of this great domain.
Not long after, Ye Chen arrived at the domain's center, Myriad Saints City. This was a very prosperous and bustling ancient city, with various races appearing. There, he discovered a massive spatial gate standing tall, shining brilliantly, leading to an unknown region. On the other side of the spatial gate, there was a world aura that felt familiar to him.
He felt that if he entered it, he might awaken his various past memories.
He stood here briefly for a moment, learning partial information about the world on the other side of the spatial gate. That world was called the Ancient Orchid Great World. In the past, it was often closed off. It was only in the last thirty years that the Saint Sect's Heavenly God, the current ruler of the Ancient Orchid Great World, had opened it for trade inside and outside the world.
Now the gate of light was open. Numerous powerful experts were rushing into it, and one ancient divine ship after another charged in, with various flags waving, representing major powers.
With a whoosh, Ye Chen boarded one of the divine ships. With intent to conceal himself, others were utterly unable to detect him. He directly entered the great world within.
The divine ship rumbled as it sailed into the Ancient Orchid Great World. Ye Chen stood on the divine ship, looking down from a high vantage point at the magnificent and beautiful ancient world.
The moment he entered, he felt a sense of familiarity from the depths of his heart, a feeling of déjà vu. It was very familiar, even a feeling of kinship thicker than blood.
It felt like a fish returning to water, like returning to his own home. Everything seemed much more relaxed and free, even as if he were this world, and the world were him.
This feeling was mysterious and profound. Yet he also felt something was missing, preventing him from truly controlling the entire great world.
"This place is—"
Ye Chen stared blankly at everything. The light between his brows suddenly blazed many times brighter, shining like a scorching sun, blazing and flickering, almost piercing through the heavens. Yet he could not truly awaken the various memories of the past; something was always missing.
He jumped down from the divine ship, descending onto the great earth, intending to seek the truth of everything himself.
