However, Ye Chen quickly suppressed the thoughts in his heart and did not charge over, because he was not yet capable of doing so. His strength was still insufficient.
Back then, a mere avatar of the Chaos Deity had nearly cost him his life, almost causing his cultivation to dissipate entirely. The Chaos Deity's true form would be many times more powerful, and it was likely one of the peerless overlords of the Ultimate Ancient Path.
Although Ye Chen was currently strong, he knew he was not yet a match for such an opponent. At the very least, he needed to break through to the Great Power realm and become a Chaos Great Power to possess the power to contend with them. It was still too early.
Therefore, he had to grow stronger as quickly as possible. His women were already so powerful; he had to become even stronger to protect them.
Turning around, he left the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and returned to the courtyard where he secluded himself for cultivation.
There was still a month left until the time of Yin-Yang Reversal. During this period, Ye Chen never stopped cultivating. In fact, as his cultivation level increased, he gained deeper insights into the Chaos comprehension bestowed upon him by Tai Sheng Huang. Day and night, he pondered the various mysteries within, continuously deepening his understanding and refinement of Chaos.
Even at this stage, what Ye Chen could comprehend from Tai Sheng Huang's Chaos Dao was merely a drop in the ocean, a single hair from nine oxen. The comprehension of Chaos by that strongest Emperor was profound to the extreme. It was even rumored that Tai Sheng Huang back then was only a hair's breadth away from fully perfecting the Great Dao of Chaos. One could imagine how profound his understanding of Chaos was.
Unless Ye Chen's own realm reached that level, he could never truly understand much of Tai Sheng Huang's Chaos Dao.
Time flowed quietly, and soon, a month passed.
On this day, within the Eighteenth Checkpoint, a large number of Ancient Path Trial-Takers gathered. The sky was densely packed with supremely powerful figures, all Trial-Takers, each one quite formidable, preparing to head to the Heaven Burial Domain.
Boom—
A vast and flawless aura erupted. Among them, an extremely powerful figure appeared, his presence far surpassing that of the other Trial-Takers, drawing the attention of all sides.
This was a handsome man, his entire body flowing with resplendent divine radiance. Silver hair cascaded over his shoulders, and nine bright, gleaming silver horns grew from his head, arranged in a circle like a platinum crown. He possessed an innate, supreme, and boundless noble aura, like a king of the heavens, inspiring reverence and worship.
A young generation's supreme!
Without a doubt, this was a powerful young supreme.
He rode a majestic Unicorn Horse, its body as pure and bright as the moon, flowing with brilliant holy light, appearing noble and transcendent. Flames of holy fire swirled around its four hooves.
It was said that the mount of the Divine Emperor of the Angel Race in the Sealed Universe—the Radiant Great Emperor—was a Unicorn Horse, and that was a true Saint Emperor's mount. Although the Unicorn Horse before them was not a true pure-blooded one, it was a descendant with pure lineage, possessing immense potential. In the future, it could become a Beast Venerable and would undoubtedly be very powerful.
"It's Sheng Tian!"
Among the Trial-Takers, a woman exclaimed, revealing the true name of this young supreme.
Sheng Tian—a special name, yet fitting. The man lived up to his name, appearing sacred and extraordinary. Clad in silver-white battle armor, with dazzling silver hair flowing freely, riding the sacred Unicorn Horse, he appeared exceptionally remarkable and eye-catching. Handsome and divine, even on the Ultimate Ancient Path, many female cultivators favored such a man.
At the same time, a black light appeared, dark mist spreading, and another young supreme emerged—a fallen angel.
However, this fallen angel young supreme was not ugly; on the contrary, he was also quite handsome. The twelve wings on his back were pitch black, suffused with dark light, not demonic or evil, but carrying a unique charm. He stood opposite Sheng Tian on the Unicorn Horse, facing each other from a distance, yet neither truly made a move.
But between them, a terrifying supreme aura emanated, colliding in the void, tearing space apart as their auras continuously clashed.
Clearly, there was some enmity between the two young supremes; otherwise, the confrontation wouldn't be so intense.
In the end, however, no battle erupted, naturally due to respect for the rules of the trial checkpoint. Moreover, they were about to head to the suspected Emperor's Tomb and needed to preserve sufficient strength to compete. If someone else obtained it, they would surely be filled with regret.
During this time, several other powerful young supreme figures appeared one after another. They were all truly supreme and terrifying individuals, each with an aura that shook the world, capable of tearing everything apart, vast and astonishing. Standing in the void, they commanded reverence from all the Trial-Takers from all directions, who all retreated far away, not daring to get too close.
When Ye Chen appeared, he drew the attention of everyone, even the other young supremes couldn't help but look over. Ye Chen's face was unfamiliar, not a known young supreme, causing the several young supremes to frown—another unfamiliar young supreme had appeared.
"Fellow Daoist, I am Sheng Tian. May I ask your name?"
Although unfamiliar, none of the young supremes took him lightly, treating him as an equal. Sheng Tian, the Unicorn Knight, displayed a relatively friendly attitude and took the initiative to inquire.
"Ye Chen!"
Ye Chen answered truthfully, causing everyone to feel surprised and doubtful. Clearly, no one had truly heard this name before—a new young supreme. However, no one dared to overlook him, for as fellow young supremes, they were all among the strongest of the younger generation. Without a life-and-death battle, who could say who was weaker?
"Let's go, to the Heaven Burial Domain!"
Half a day later, seeing that the time was about right, the young supreme Sheng Tian spoke.
The Eighteenth Checkpoint had a related passage that could teleport them to the Heaven Burial Domain. That place was originally adjacent to the trial grounds of the Eighteenth Checkpoint. In a sense, the Heaven Burial Domain had already replaced the original trial grounds, becoming a new trial location.
Boom—
The spatial gate opened, piercing through the void and connecting to the Heaven Burial Domain. Led primarily by Ye Chen and the other young supremes, all the Ancient Path Trial-Takers stepped onto the ancient path, officially heading towards the Heaven Burial Domain.
The Heaven Burial Domain was a mysterious star domain located deep in the universe. In fact, throughout the ages, it had been rumored that this star domain might bury an ancient Emperor, that an Emperor's Tomb existed there, for the name "Heaven Burial" was enough to explain everything.
After all, only an Emperor was qualified to stand side by side with the Heavenly Dao. In a sense, the word "Emperor" represented Heaven itself!
However, for a long time, the Heaven Burial Domain had only been a legend without concrete evidence. Now, the emergence of a massive ancient tomb suspected to be an Emperor's Tomb seemed to prove its origins.
On a continent floating in the Star Sky, a large number of powerful figures had already gathered. There were Ancient Path Trial-Takers and also powerful individuals from other races, all from the older generation, all very formidable.
Moreover, streams of light arrived from various parts of the Star Sky, all quite powerful.
It could be said that this place was a gathering of heroes, with too many powerful figures arriving—at least over a thousand people, all very strong. There were many Heavenly Kings, a gathering of experts, a cloud of masters.
Rumble—
The void was torn apart, and a grand spatial gate appeared. From within, a group of powerful figures emerged, none other than the many Ancient Path Trial-Takers from the Eighteenth Checkpoint, led by Ye Chen and the other young supremes.
Their goal, naturally, was the distant Emperor's Tomb!
