Without a doubt, the battles the Battle Saint King had experienced were related to young supremes. Moreover, given his cultivation level, it wasn't ordinary young supremes who could leave behind such a thick, lingering scent of blood. It was very likely they involved young supremes at the Great Power realm.
It was precisely because of this that it was most terrifying.
Could it be that even young supremes at the Great Power realm had been slaughtered by the Battle Saint King?
Just the thought of this possibility filled all the trial-takers of the Thirty-First Pass on the ancient path with shock and awe.
He truly was the legendary Supreme Slayer!
Ye Chen descended upon the Thirty-First Pass, paying no heed to the whispers of the people within this trial ancient gate. He appeared exceptionally majestic and extraordinary, with black hair cascading down, strands of ancient chaotic energy swirling and pouring forth, and myriad dao laws sweeping and surging around him.
His expression was indifferent as he strode forward. With a whoosh, he appeared before one of the ancient path trial-takers.
That trial-taker was also a top genius from a major ancient universe, his cultivation having reached the peak Heavenly King realm, which was considered quite powerful. However, facing Ye Chen now, he felt like an ant gazing up at a colossal dragon in the sky.
It seemed as if a single glance from the Battle Saint King before him would be enough to shatter him into dust ten thousand times over. He couldn't help but tremble violently, feeling genuine fear and reverence from the depths of his heart. "Battle Saint King, Your Excellency..."
Ye Chen nodded, retracting his aura. "There's no need to be afraid. I just want to ask you a question. Do you know how to get to Dan Tian City?"
Despite his words, how could this trial-taker not be nervous? Not just him, but all the other trial-takers in various directions were the same, each trembling under the pressure naturally emanating from Ye Chen.
Especially since Ye Chen had just recently slain a group of alien young supremes within the spatial passageway. The terrifyingly sharp bloody aura accompanying him was even more horrifying, causing all the experts of the heavens to tremble. How many could remain completely unaffected?
It was worth noting that several hidden young supremes at the Great Power realm had also become highly vigilant, showing extreme wariness.
"Dan Tian City is..." The trial-taker pointed in a direction, trembling. Ye Chen nodded. "Thanks."
Boom—
He shot into the sky, directly leaving the Thirty-First Pass and distancing himself from this trial ancient gate.
Only after a long while did all the trial-takers within the Thirty-First Pass finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had narrowly escaped a great disaster and survived a calamity.
All of this could only be attributed to the overwhelming pressure the Battle Saint King imposed on others, something ordinary trial-takers simply couldn't withstand.
Especially since Ye Chen was the renowned Supreme Slayer, having slaughtered no fewer than ten young supremes. A person's reputation casts a long shadow, naturally making him even more terrifying.
"The Battle Saint King is heading to Dan Tian City. Could he also be going to participate in the once-in-ten-thousand-years Alchemy Grand Ceremony?"
Many exclaimed in surprise, equally shocked. Could it be that aside from his heaven-defying talent in cultivation, the Battle Saint King was also peerless in the art of alchemy?
No one knew for sure. However, the news of the Battle Saint King heading to Dan Tian City spread like lightning, attracting widespread attention.
Dan Tian City was not located on the Ultimate Ancient Path, but deep within the starry sky. Moreover, it was situated within a special, ancient great world.
After learning the corresponding direction, Ye Chen took out the Void God Platform.
Over the years, Ye Chen had naturally refined the Void God Platform again. With his Great Power-level cultivation and the addition of various chaos dao techniques, he had even inscribed the formations and imprints of some world-shaking movement techniques like the Boundary Traversal Secret Art and the Heavenly Roc Body Technique onto it, elevating it several levels. It was now countless times more powerful than before.
The Void God Platform was activated. Standing upon it, Ye Chen channeled his divine power. The entire platform began to flow with immortal divine light. With a boom, it carried Ye Chen through the void, shooting like lightning toward the extreme distance.
Whoosh—
A full half-hour passed. It was impossible to tell how many millions of li they had traversed, easily covering billions of li, penetrating deep into the heart of the starry sky.
An hour later, Ye Chen steered the Void God Platform out of the void and came to a stop. Looking into the distance, he discovered an ancient city appearing in the deepest part of the starry sky. It wasn't particularly large, spanning only about a hundred li in radius, which surprised Ye Chen. Could this be the legendary Dan Tian City?
He put away the Void God Platform and descended from the starry sky into this ancient city. Upon entering, he found this starry sky ancient city to be exceptionally bustling and lively. Streams of light continuously rushed toward it from all directions of the starry sky, landing one after another within this hundred-li ancient city.
Among them were not lacking some truly powerful clans, and there were also ancient Great Sages who dominated entire star domains appearing. Many experts emerged from the ancient city to welcome them one by one.
Speaking of which, although this ancient city wasn't large, even when experts from all sides arrived, including various ancient Great Sages, everything remained orderly and peaceful without the slightest hint of chaos. This sense of tranquility piqued Ye Chen's curiosity.
Soon, Ye Chen learned that this ancient city was not the true Dan Tian City. It was more like a relay station ancient city. Only by passing through this city could one truly reach the real Dan Tian City.
Within the ancient city were many powerful ancient guards. Among them were several ancient Great Sages with unfathomable cultivation levels stationed here to prevent any mishaps.
Even with Ye Chen's keen perception as a Chaos Saint Body, he could sense that one of the stationed Great Powers possessed bloodline power as deep and vast as an abyss, terrifyingly powerful. This was a true imperial clan Great Power, and at the peak Great Power realm at that, extremely formidable and fearsome.
Clearly, for this Alchemy Grand Ceremony, preparations were quite thorough. Having a peak Great Power from an imperial clan stationed here served as a warning to all petty schemers not to entertain any ill intentions, lest they incur the most terrible retaliation from the organizers.
Moreover, Ye Chen learned that the organizers of this Alchemy Grand Ceremony were none other than the imperial clan of the former Alchemy Emperor.
This made Ye Chen curious. Why would the Alchemy Emperor Clan go so far as to use part of the Alchemy Emperor's legacy as an incentive to attract alchemy masters from across the heavens to participate in this ceremony?
It was well known that imperial clans were extremely secretive about any inheritance related to an Emperor, absolutely unwilling to let it leak outside the clan, enforcing strict prohibitions. Yet now, the Alchemy Emperor Clan was actively offering part of the Alchemy Emperor's legacy as a reward for the champion of the Alchemy Grand Ceremony. This was truly astonishing.
Ye Chen descended into the ancient city. And quite clearly, his fame had spread not only across the Ultimate Ancient Path but throughout the entire ancient universe. His mere appearance caused many to turn their gazes toward him.
