"Sealed Boundary Universe."
The moment Ye Chen's words fell, the entire venue fell silent.
"Sealed Boundary Universe," Sheng Tian uttered with a hint of surprise and doubt. Not only him, but the other young prodigies and talents were the same, because the Sealed Boundary Universe of this era was exceptionally extraordinary, having produced quite a few young generation's supremes who had successively ascended to the Ultimate Ancient Path.
Among them, the most eye-catching were naturally the five female supremes led by the Goddess who established the Moon Hall. Each possessed astonishing, world-shaking cultivation, especially the Goddess, who was so powerful she could contend with the Overlords of the Ancient Path.
Such an obviously incomplete Ancient Universe had produced so many young generation's supremes in this era; one had to admit it was truly astonishing.
It must be known that in past eras, the Sealed Boundary Universe had always been in a depressed state. Especially since this epoch began, throughout ancient and modern times, only one person had successfully reached the later stages. The other attempts had been rather dim, directly having their Dao hearts shattered by other young supremes, left lingering on the Ancient Path.
Ye Chen did not elaborate on this topic. Instead, he asked Sheng Tian how many young generation's supremes were participating in this gathering, especially inquiring discreetly whether there were Imperial Sons or even Ancient Path Overlords returning.
Hearing this, Sheng Tian's expression turned slightly grave. A flash of holy light directly isolated the surrounding void to prevent others from probing. Such caution and seriousness somewhat surprised Ye Chen.
"Brother Ye, you may not know this. This time, the number of young generation's supremes participating in the struggle for the ancient tomb is at least a dozen, perhaps even more," Sheng Tian gave a definitive answer, stating that among them, there would certainly be Imperial Sons. As for Ancient Path Overlords, he claimed that even if they might not necessarily arrive in person, they had other means to descend. One must absolutely not be careless.
"Doesn't the Ultimate Ancient Path prevent the return of such existences?" Ye Chen frowned. Ancient Path Overlords were too powerful, even surpassing many protector Great Powers by a large margin. Their hands were stained with the blood of Great Powers, and some had even slain Great Powers who shook the starry skies. They were extremely formidable.
Precisely because they were too powerful, the Ultimate Ancient Path had always imposed great restrictions to limit the return of such powerful individuals, as it would inevitably cause imbalance on the Ultimate Ancient Path. If such Overlord-level existences were to return now, it would be very troublesome.
He also came to understand why Chen'er and the others could not return. It was likely mostly due to this factor. They were now too powerful, making it impossible for them to truly return at present.
"The reason they are called Ancient Path Overlords is precisely because they are supremely strong and invincible," Sheng Tian shook his head and said softly, "You must absolutely not underestimate them. The strength of an Ancient Path Overlord far exceeds imagination. To a certain extent, they are supreme beings who can disregard the rules of the Ultimate Ancient Path. Although the Ultimate Ancient Path has always restricted the return of such existences, if my guess is not wrong, at least one Ancient Path Overlord will truly return in the end. Those individuals are so powerful, having walked very far on the path of the Great Power realm, possibly even stronger than supreme Great Powers like Nine Phoenix Great Ability."
Ye Chen's brow furrowed deeply. What he worried about most was actually the return of the Chaos Deity. Once it returned, it would absolutely be a huge trouble for him. At least for now, he had no way to truly face such an Overlord-level existence.
After all, he had not truly broken through to the Chaos Great Power realm.
Sheng Tian added, "Brother Ye, you need not worry too much. Even if Ancient Path Overlords return, there is no need for excessive concern, because they will be subject to corresponding restrictions and cannot display their ultimate divine might."
He came from the Eight Gods Ancient Universe and was relatively close to other Ancient Path trial-takers from that Ancient Universe, thus learning quite a bit of important information.
Ye Chen nodded. If that was the case, it was for the best.
The gathering began. Ancient Path trial-takers arrived one after another. Young generation's supremes like Bei Ming Qi and Great Devil Gu Tian also arrived successively. At the same time, some unfamiliar young generation's supremes appeared.
Like the Thunder God, a young generation's supreme who cultivated the Dao of Thunder. He had a burly, tall build, with blazing lightning coiling around his entire body, terrifying like a Thunder Emperor, his aura supremely strong. He was also at the Half-Step Great Power stage, but not inferior to ordinary Great Powers.
There were also descendants of gods and demons, like Di Gu, a young generation's supreme who inherited supreme god-demon bloodlines, equally astonishing.
Wasn't the young generation's supreme from the Heavenly Ox Clan also similarly supremely powerful and unmatched?
...
One young generation's supreme after another entered the venue. By now, there were at least over a dozen, and clearly they were all truly supreme individuals. Their auras were immense, startling others so much they dared not approach, keeping far away and retreating, drawing sidelong glances.
At the very center of the Myriad Saints Hall, there was a row of treasure seats, reserved only for true young generation's supremes to sit upon.
Suddenly, a commotion spread. All parties looked over. At the main entrance, a man and a woman appeared. The man was as elegant as jade, heroic and immortal, his divine bearing descending upon the world, standing out like a Divine King. The woman was peerlessly beautiful, outshining all others.
This man and woman were like a match made in heaven, a perfect pair. Their appearance instantly attracted the gazes of many present, and quite a few were envious.
For the man was Chu Shuangyu, true to his name, a handsome man like jade. The woman was the Cloud Heaven Divine Maiden, beautiful and moving, her radiance flowing.
Both Chu Shuangyu and the Cloud Heaven Divine Maiden were true young generation's supremes. More importantly, they were a rare pair of young generation's supreme Dao companions. This was what truly warranted shock.
It must be known that even on the Ultimate Ancient Path, with so many young generation's supremes and even Imperial Sons arriving, Dao companions where both were young generation's supremes were exceedingly rare. That was precisely why it drew such attention.
"What a pair of young generation's supreme Dao companions, rare in the world. Both are young generation's supremes, practicing dual cultivation of form and spirit, which is even more beneficial for cultivation advancement," many were envious. At this level, they had little interest in dual cultivation itself, focusing more on how to cultivate better.
Clearly, being fellow young generation's supremes, once they engaged in dual cultivation, it would be a union of yin and yang, multiplying the effects many times over.
However, what was most eye-catching was actually that this divine couple were young generation's supremes from the Moon Hall, representing one of the most powerful trial-taker factions on the Ultimate Ancient Path, the Moon Hall. Ye Chen's expression changed instantly, his gaze falling upon them.
Not long after, the group of young generation's supremes successively took their seats on the central treasure seats. There were a total of eighteen arrivals, twice the number from the previous campaign on the Primordial Continent.
Eighteen young generation's supremes. No matter where one looked, this was a huge number, hard to imagine that eighteen young generation's supremes would appear.
