The Mythical Laurel Crown stirred!
Even Ye Chen was startled, and also pleasantly surprised.
The Nine-Colored Divine Light Crown obtained back in the Ancient God Hall on the Ancient God Continent of the Ancient Emperor Realm was also forged from nine types of Chaos Immortal Gold. Over the years, aside from some fluctuations appearing on the Ancient Emperor Continent, it had always remained calm. Even though Ye Chen had studied it many times, he had never been able to deduce anything.
But he knew this Mythical Laurel Crown was certainly extraordinary; otherwise, it wouldn't have been forged from nine types of Chaos Immortal Gold. It very likely contained a tremendous secret, but the current Ye Chen was still unable to truly access such mysteries.
However, Ye Chen never expected this Mythical Laurel Crown would exhibit such a special fluctuation at this moment. It astonished him and also stirred excitement. Could it be that the Mythical Laurel Crown was also related to this Emperor's Tomb?
Although not entirely clear, it didn't hinder Ye Chen's inner excitement. If this were truly the case, perhaps this time he could use it to obtain some heaven-defying Immortal Fate.
And strangely, the Yan Lao Ancient Ring, also known as the Great Sage Emperor Ancient Ring, also began to show some subtle fluctuations, causing Ye Chen's gaze to suddenly sharpen. Could this involve the Great Sage Emperor?
The Great Sage Emperor was among the strongest Emperors, one who had slain a true Emperor. If this was related to him, it would likely be even more astonishing.
Whoosh—
Just then, from within the Abyss Chasm, the sound of the Great Dao Divine Chains grew increasingly urgent and clear, shaking the heavens, as boundless black mist continuously roiled and surged.
Within, the terrifying living beings led by the Ancient Ancestor of the Light Clan and the nine-headed creature stood motionless before the Abyss Chasm, guarding it. A large army of Yin Soldiers was also arrayed before them, providing special protection.
Although all the powerhouses were curious, not a single person here dared to act recklessly, because this involved an Emperor's Tomb, the grave of an Emperor. It was far too dangerous. Even an invincible Ancient Monarch arriving would certainly not dare to force their way in, let alone them. They could only watch everything unfold before their eyes.
Whoosh—
The nine-colored Great Dao Divine Chains pierced through layers of black mist, becoming increasingly clear. Each one shimmered with different Great Dao profundities. At this moment, nine-colored divine light shattered the sky, annihilating everything.
Roar—
Suddenly, a terrifying roar that shook the heavens erupted from within the Abyss Chasm, vibrating the entire Primordial Continent, even shaking the Star Sky. The stars of the heavens trembled, and one star after another was shaken down by the roar, transforming into streaks of fire that crashed onto the Primordial Continent. The tremendous rumbling sounds were unceasing.
The already crater-filled surface of the continent now bore many more impact craters. Several powerhouses were unfortunately grazed by the falling stars, coughing up blood continuously.
Too terrifying. A single roar was already this dreadful. What kind of terrifying existence resided within the Abyss Chasm? Why was it so fearsome?
Yet even so, no one wanted to leave. Because this involved the legacy or treasures of an Emperor, no one was willing to give up this heaven-defying Immortal Fate.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a Great Dao Divine Chain forged entirely from Eternal Sun Crimson Gold shot out from the Abyss Chasm, cleaving through the heavy black mist, tearing through the void, descending from the sky, and directly slashing towards the location of the powerhouses.
"Run!"
Everyone's expressions changed, and they immediately dodged. However, several dozen people were unable to evade and were directly struck by the thick divine chain of Eternal Sun Crimson Gold. Among them was even a Half-Step Great Power, just a hair's breadth away from stepping into the Great Power realm and truly establishing himself as a powerhouse dominating a starfield. Yet at this moment, it was useless. Before he could even unleash his Dao techniques, struck by the Great Dao Divine Chain, he was annihilated into dust, leaving nothing behind.
The other struck powerhouses met the same fate. Including a full eight Heavenly Kings, nineteen people were instantly and completely reduced to ashes. How utterly shocking.
Boom—
The Great Dao Divine Chain forged from Eternal Sun Crimson Gold crashed down onto the earth with a terrifying roar. The heavens and earth seemed to be torn in two. The Primordial Continent shook violently as if about to disintegrate, horrifyingly abnormal.
In the end, a chasm crack a full million li long appeared on the crimson-red earth, nearly splitting the entire Primordial Continent in half.
Everyone couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. What a terrifying strike. And it seemed to be just a casual attack from the existence within the Abyss Chasm, yet it nearly shattered the Primordial Continent into two pieces. At the very least, Ye Chen admitted to himself he couldn't withstand such a blow. If he were to face it, he would have to rely on the revived Heaven Burial Great Halberd to block it. Otherwise, forget him, even a Guardian Great Power like Nine Phoenix Great Power would, if not die, suffer severe, likely irreparable injuries.
Too terrifying. What kind of peerless existence resided within the Abyss Chasm? Why was it so horrifying?
No one knew, nor dared to know, because all of this was too shocking, to the point they didn't wish to face it.
Whoosh—
After delivering this strike, the Great Dao Divine Chain forged from Eternal Sun Crimson Gold retracted, sinking back into the Abyss Chasm. However, at this moment, everyone quickly retreated, at least a million li away, outside the attack range of the Great Dao Divine Chains.
But this was merely psychological comfort for the powerhouses. They all deeply understood that if such an existence truly wished to attack, forget a mere million li, even the entire starry cosmos could be shattered in an instant.
"An Ancient Monarch?"
Among them, Nine Phoenix Great Power spoke gravely, uttering these words. The moment his voice fell, the entire scene fell silent. Everyone felt their scalps go numb.
Because if such an existence truly guarded the Abyss Chasm, who could possibly enter it to compete for the Emperor's priceless Immortal Fate?
No one could, unless an Ancient Monarch came.
But currently, that was basically very difficult. Because of the great war between the Ultimate Ancient Path and the Soul-Forbidden Hall over thirty years ago, both sides had involved too much power. More than one Ancient Monarch from each side had appeared, once destroying many starfields and leaving ruins within the Ancient Cosmos, causing countless living beings to perish.
In the end, both sides restrained each other. Invincible beings of the Ancient Monarch level no longer appeared easily, forming a special rule that no one could casually break, or they would face severe consequences.
Precisely because of this, in recent years, the Ultimate Ancient Path had regained peace, and the Soul-Forbidden Hall had gradually appeared less frequently on the Ultimate Ancient Path.
"Is it truly an existence of the Ancient Monarch level guarding the Emperor's great tomb?"
Witnessing all this, many powerhouses felt unwilling in their hearts. After all, they had come this far, yet couldn't proceed further. To watch the Emperor's great tomb before their eyes yet be unable to act, unable to compete for the priceless Immortal Fate—how frustrating and helpless.
"We don't know." Nine Phoenix Great Power and the Light Clan Great Power both shook their heads. It was merely speculation that it might be an Ancient Monarch. However, even if it wasn't an Ancient Monarch, it was at the very least a terrifying existence infinitely close to the Monarch realm, something none present could deal with.
"What should we do?"
No one here was willing to give up easily, not even the Guardian Great Powers of the Ultimate Ancient Path. At the very least, they hoped to obtain some immortal treasures to strengthen the Ultimate Ancient Path.
Whoosh—
But gradually, the Great Dao Divine Chains within the Abyss Chasm began to calm down. Simultaneously, the Ancient Ancestor of the Light Clan, the nine-headed creature, and the group of terrifying beings returned to the Star River. The large army of Yin Soldiers gradually retreated back into the Abyss Chasm.
The vast and brilliant Star River was gradually dissipating. The Abyss Chasm, hundreds of thousands of li long, was also slowly closing. Everything was about to return to its previous state.
Could it be there was a time limit?
Everyone was astonished. They were even more worried that the Primordial Continent would retreat back into another void. That would be the real trouble. After all, the phenomenon of Yin and Yang reversal couldn't appear at any time; it required tens or even hundreds of thousands of years to occur once. They didn't have time to wait that long.
Rumble—
Just as they suspected, the entire Primordial Continent was slowly retreating back into another void, a place of endless danger that might even involve Emperor's laws, capable of annihilating everything.
Facing this, all the powerhouses were unwilling.
In the end, the three Guardian Great Powers from the Ultimate Ancient Path and several Great Powers from the depths of the Star Sky jointly sacrificed a Monarch Immortal Weapon. Nearly fully revived, it cleaved through the Star Sky, releasing boundless Monarch heavenly might, forcibly blocking the Primordial Continent's return to the other spacetime.
Of course, this was only temporary. Because reviving a Monarch Immortal Weapon, even for an Ancient Great Power, incurred great consumption. It basically required three Great Powers to maintain it constantly, while the other three conserved their strength for replacement, taking turns to maintain the current situation.
However, they could only maintain it for a month at most. If a month passed, the power of the Primordial Continent would reach its peak, and they would no longer be able to stop it. Otherwise, the might released might annihilate everything, possibly even burying the Monarch Immortal Weapon within, a loss outweighing the gain.
Simultaneously, the powerhouses began calling for friends and allies, summoning all powerhouses from across the Star Sky. This naturally included many Great Powers, and they even hoped for forces with Ancient Monarch descendants to appear.
Because the Abyss Chasm might involve an Ancient Monarch. However, the restraints of recent years prevented Ancient Monarchs from appearing casually. Only by gathering several more Monarch Immortal Weapons might they possibly contend against the destructive existence within the Abyss Chasm and compete for the Emperor's Immortal Fate.
Sure enough, although there had been many rumors throughout the ages about the existence of an Emperor's Tomb, many considered it mere speculation. Even with its appearance this time, many still believed it false, at most a Monarch's legacy.
But this time was different. Whether it was the Great Powers of the various Star Sky races or the Guardians, all affirmed it was an Emperor's Tomb. This instantly ignited the world, shocking the entire Ancient Cosmos.
Even on the Ultimate Ancient Path, it was completely ignited, causing great waves. There were even rumors that the ultimate overlords of the Ultimate Ancient Path were preparing to return.
