Those originated from the Birth Emperor Star, specifically its five continents.
Yet these five continents were quite special. If viewed from the outer realms, one could see that each continent was different. The Eastern Continent was a verdant green, perpetually covered by countless ancient forests, with over ninety percent of its territory being so.
The Southern Continent appeared blue, the Western Continent crimson, the Northern Continent yellow, and the Central Continent bore a dark golden hue. However, aside from the Eastern Continent, the colors of the other four continents were not discernible from the surface; only from a sufficiently high vantage point in the outer realms could one truly see them clearly, which was astonishing.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.
This phrase surfaced in Ye Chen's mind. The Birth Emperor Star was extraordinary; even its five vast continents seemed to have a basis, suspected to be related to the five elements.
Moreover, the five viscera within his body were all circulating with five-colored divine light, giving him a peculiar sense of resonance at this moment.
"This is—"
Until a certain moment, Ye Chen's heart suddenly trembled, for at this point, he had discovered an astonishing truth.
No matter how experienced and knowledgeable he was, at this moment he couldn't help but suck in a cold breath, for all of this was simply too shocking.
"In the end, who will be the true victor is perhaps hard to say."
Ye Chen uttered a light sentence, carrying a particular sigh of emotion.
Not long after, Ye Chen left the outer realms and descended once more upon the Birth Emperor Star, landing on the continent located in the east.
And on this very day, he traversed the five continents of the Birth Emperor Star, and even walked among numerous ancient sites. He also began to enter some ancient kingdoms with sufficiently long histories, especially those whose founding history could be traced back to the era when the Primordial Emperor attained the Dao and became an Emperor. These were his primary focus for investigation.
He was seeking to understand all matters related to the Primordial Emperor, especially the various events after his ascension to Emperor, and even those concerning his eventual passing, which were also what he needed to pursue.
Because he faintly sensed some astonishing and unknown matters, of great significance.
Unfortunately, only half a month remained for him, which was simply not enough time to fully understand everything.
Despite this, Ye Chen still exerted his utmost ability, wanting to learn all that he wished to know.
Meanwhile, in the 49th Pass of the Ultimate Ancient Path, a spatial teleportation gate opened.
Originally, due to the Myriad Ancient Assembly, many Ancient Path Talents were permitted to return, and the spatial teleportation gates were frequently active, which was not surprising.
But on this day, the moment the spatial gate opened, a figure stepped out from within, standing in the void. His agile and slender physique seemed as if cast from Nine Tribulations Gold, his entire body flowing with brilliant golden light, his blood energy rumbling, inundating the heavens.
He appeared mighty and powerful, each strand of muscle seeming to contain a pure-blooded True Dragon, dominating the myriad heavens.
When this person appeared, the great world distorted. The entire Trial Ancient Pass of the 49th Pass trembled, the Great Dao wailing, subjected to immense suppression.
"The War Saint has arrived!"
Within the 49th Pass, someone exclaimed, recognizing the newcomer. Moreover, that kind of Great Dao fluctuation was too terrifying, practically overwhelming, like a starry sea pouring forth. This extraordinary Trial Ancient Pass trembled as if unable to bear the pressure.
"The invincible War Saint has returned against the heavens. Is he also here to participate in the Myriad Ancient Assembly?"
Within the Trial Ancient Pass, there were not only Ancient Path Talents but also numerous powerful experts from the Birth Emperor Star and even the outer realms, including many Great Powers. Yet they too felt the suppression from the terrifying aura of the newcomer.
Even Great Powers felt a terrifying sense of suffocation.
"That is the peerless War Saint, possessing the invincible potential to grow into an Ancient Path Overlord. Compared to those Ancient Path Overlords, he is only lacking some years of cultivation. Yet he is confident he can retreat safely even when facing the Nine Great Ancient Path Overlords."
Mentioning the heroic and peerless War Saint Qian Xun before them, many sighed from the depths of their hearts, for this was an invincible figure destined to become an Ancient Path Overlord. He was also the inheritor of the second-generation Battle Saint, possessing the unparalleled Battle Saint Body, invincible in close combat.
His return now attracted the attention of many.
Qian Xun had sword-like brows and starry eyes, appearing heroic, handsome, and elegant. His long hair was loosely scattered, each strand flowing with brilliant golden light, yet appearing exceptionally domineering. Bathed in resplendent golden radiance, his gaze was blazing and brilliant as he swept it around. His voice rang like heavenly thunder, echoing within the Trial Ancient Pass with a rumbling resonance: "Do any of you know the whereabouts of the Battle Saint King?"
The War Saint had come to find the Battle Saint King?
Many were stunned, greatly surprised. But under the boundless might of the War Saint, everyone felt a terrifying sense of suffocation. Among them, someone hurriedly responded: "The Battle Saint King is currently hidden within the great world. No one knows his exact whereabouts."
"Hmph, truly a coward without guts. Is it because he knows of my return that he dares not show himself?"
Qian Xun snorted coldly, his voice like thunder, exploding throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, carrying a terrifying imposing manner.
The crowd was shocked. The War Saint's return was actually to cause trouble for the Battle Saint King.
Weren't both of them inheritors of the Battle Saint lineage, sharing the same origin? But now it seemed there was some other enmity between them.
"War Saint, someone once saw traces of the Battle Saint King on the Eastern Barbarian Continent," one person spoke up. He was wreathed in dark light, had bat-like wings, and blood-red hair, his aura sinister and evil. He was clearly an Alien Young Supreme, very powerful, speaking thus.
Originally, he hadn't intended to step forward, because the War Saint was also a Battle Saint, a lineage hostile to the alien race.
However, hearing that the War Saint and the Battle Saint King seemed to have a great feud, and now seeing it for himself and hearing his words, it indeed seemed so. Thus, he stepped forward to speak.
If he could instigate the two Battle Saints to kill each other, or even have them perish together, this would undoubtedly be the scene the alien race most wished to see, solving the two strongest Battle Saints without wasting a single soldier or ounce of effort.
War Saint Qian Xun turned to look at that Alien Young Supreme and said, "Who are you?"
"Qiong Zhu," the Alien Young Supreme said. "Although you and I belong to hostile ancient universes, the enemy of my enemy is a friend. We share the same enemy, both aiming to deal with the Battle Saint King. You and I can cooperate and join forces."
"Good, thank you for providing the information. To express my gratitude, I will personally send you down to the Yellow Springs."
Boom—
The Trial Ancient Pass shook violently, golden light overflowing. War Saint Qian Xun suddenly made his move, instantly charging towards the Alien Young Supreme Qiong Zhu.
"You dare!" Qiong Zhu's expression changed. He hadn't expected War Saint Qian Xun to actually attack. This was the 49th Pass, a Trial Ancient Pass where fellow Ancient Path Talents were forbidden from killing each other.
"There is nothing that I, Qian Xun, dare not do!"
Qian Xun directly charged over, like a human-shaped True Dragon on the attack, tearing through the void, ferociously pouncing towards Qiong Zhu.
