"Will you hand over the remaining three tokens yourselves, or do I need to personally force you to hand them over?"
Ye Chen's attitude was extremely forceful, and the terrifying aura emanating from his body was released without restraint, overwhelming the heavens and earth, dominating this small world.
A surging tide of golden blood yuan appeared, like raging waves crashing upon the shore, layer upon layer, terrifyingly abnormal. It directly repelled the heaven and earth power within this small world, preventing the five experts with the qualification to delay claiming kingship from smoothly summoning the power of heaven and earth.
He was like a deity of the Nine Heavens descending to the mortal world, invincible, revered as supreme in this great era.
All of this caused Yang Shaoqi and the others to change their expressions. Although they were furious at Ye Chen's attitude, the aura he gave them was truly too terrifying, unprecedentedly powerful, making them feel an unshakable sensation.
Too powerful, like a sparrow and a roc. Both are birds, yet the gap between them is as vast as heaven and earth.
This feeling, among the younger generation, they had only ever felt on those few most terrifying individuals.
Those were true young kings, of this era and even throughout history, there were only a handful. Each was peerless in their generation, invincible, regarded as the true successors of a superpower, cultivated with all resources.
Strong as they were, these super experts hailed as having the qualification to delay claiming kingship clearly understood that although they were powerful and might have some hope of achieving the Divine Spirit realm in the future, they were insignificant compared to those few. Because those few, as expected, were the strongest geniuses destined to achieve divinity in the future, not merely having hope.
Their aptitude surpassed even those who possessed divine qualification; they were true young prodigies even Divine Spirits would value, treating them as personal disciples to teach and impart knowledge.
There were even rumors that those young kings were historical figures from the various superpowers, not contemporary heroes. They were the most outstanding talents in the entire history of their superpowers, peerless prodigies capable of achieving divinity, even harboring hope of surpassing it.
But once, an ancient Sage who had reached a high achievement in the art of divination deduced some rather extraordinary heavenly secrets, stating that they would emerge in later generations, giving rise to unexpected achievements.
Thus, these few were personally sealed by Divine Spirits, finally unsealed and emerging in this era.
They had long achieved the Martial God realm, excessively young, excessively powerful. Their entire superpowers spent vast resources to fully cultivate them, hailed as peerless prodigies rarely seen throughout the ages on the Tian Du Continent.
But now, they could actually feel this suffocating imposing manner on this youth as well. In a daze, it seemed as if they saw the figures of those superpower successors standing before them, like ancient divine mountains, unshakable.
"Could it be another true young king has emerged? And so young at that."
They felt a terrifying pressure, suddenly feeling bitter. Encountering such a young king among their peers was the most despairing.
But the few were unwilling. They were still young, possessing confidence and fighting spirit. Although those young kings were currently unshakable, possessing truly despair-inducing strength, they all wanted to strive to catch up, hoping one day to be on par with or even surpass them. And the divine legacy treasure before them might be a turning point.
At this moment, after exchanging glances, the five nodded together and made a decision. They actually shot the three tokens they possessed onto the remaining three Dao platforms.
All of this was unexpected by everyone. No one thought the five young prodigies would take the initiative to act. It was originally assumed they would resist, trying every means to prevent Ye Chen from obtaining them.
Ye Chen was slightly surprised but did not stop them. Instead, he turned his gaze to the ancient hall.
Boom—
Each of the nine Dao platforms had a token floating and sinking upon it. But at this moment, as if truly coming to life, they all erupted with terrifying radiance. Striking beams of light shot into the sky, rumbling with long roars, piercing through the clouds.
This small divine world began to tremble, clouds and mist swirling.
Nine dazzling light pillars stood in a ring between heaven and earth. But upon closer look, those nine beams of light were clearly brilliant light dragons, roaring and howling at the sky, their voices shaking this small world.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of all, the nine light dragons all charged into the half-collapsed stone seat at the center of the ancient hall.
Boom—
An extremely terrifying beam of light shot into the sky, originating from the half-collapsed stone seat, accompanied by an unprecedented terrifying Dao fluctuation.
This small world trembled, the void torn open by pitch-black spatial cracks, as if on the verge of shattering at any moment, unable to withstand this immense Dao fluctuation.
"The divine seal, is it finally about to open?" Numerous trial-takers watched all this nervously. This was a major event on the entire Trial Path. If word spread, it might even shake the entire Tian Du Continent, attracting the attention of even the lofty, supreme Divine Spirits.
Because all of this involved true Divine Spirits, everything would become not simple, not ordinary.
Swish—
At the same time, within the sun's origin high in the sky above the Trial Path, the supreme Old Academy Head, seated within, felt an intense fluctuation. He suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out astonishing beams of light that materialized and pierced through the long sky, finally landing on the mysterious heaven and earth portal at the center of the great desert.
Mastering the origin of this broken world, the supreme Old Academy Head could perceive everything within this world, knowing it like the back of his hand.
He clearly sensed an incredibly powerful Dao might reviving, carrying an ancient aura, as if activated from the distant upper reaches of the river of time, separated by at least ten thousand years from the ancient era.
Dao might startles the world!
Without a doubt, this was a peerless Dao, at least an ancient great Dao left behind by an ancient Divine Spirit reviving, rarely seen in this great era.
At this moment, the supreme Old Academy Head's expression turned grave. A vast radiance shone from between his brows, his powerful divine sense sweeping out and charging toward that mysterious heaven and earth portal, wanting to enter and investigate clearly.
But at this moment, the supreme Old Academy Head's divine sense was blocked. Because within the thousand-li red sand desert, endless sand waves suddenly surged forth, striking up to the Nine Heavens ten thousand zhang high. Heaven and earth trembled, the twelfth checkpoint shook violently. Even the eleventh and thirteenth checkpoints could feel this intense fluctuation, unprecedented, causing people's expressions to change.
Boom—
Beneath the desert, a towering, forest-white Dao Fire soared, transforming into a sea of flames, igniting across the sky, blazing and burning.
Clearly it was fire, yet the moment this fire appeared, the temperature between heaven and earth did not rise. On the contrary, it instantly dropped many times over. Endless cold air swept across, cold mist blotting out the sky and sun, with endless frost and white snow drifting down.
All of this appeared so bizarre and inexplicable.
Terrifying coldness swept across. The entire twelfth checkpoint was affected by this cold.
The supreme Old Academy Head's divine sense was blocked. Seeing this scene, he appeared shocked: "A Dao that had almost completely vanished actually revived completely in an instant. The person who left these Dao marks back then was not simple. Could it truly have surpassed..."
His words trailed off, but there was clearly a thought-provoking continuation.
At the same time, within the small divine world, Ye Chen suddenly sensed the wisp of forest-white cold fire within his body becoming many times more active, actually having the impulse to leap out of his body.
He could feel a kind of Dao attraction. This Dao of the forest-white cold fire seemed to be reviving.
Old Yan's grave voice surfaced in his heart: "Little Chen, be careful. The Dao in the great desert has revived, and it's a complete revival. The person who left that kind of Dao in the great desert back then was very not simple, very likely an existence that surpassed reincarnation."
Ye Chen was shocked. Was that person back then not simply relying on a World's Heart fragment to seal themselves for ten thousand years? But relied on their own strength to endure?
All of this made Ye Chen sense a very unusual aura emerging.
Boom—
Suddenly, within the broken ancient hall, a pressure as vast and boundless as an ocean quietly spread throughout the entire hall, making everyone feel a fatal-like suffocation, difficult to move.
Strong as the several young prodigies, strong as Ye Chen, all felt a terrifying oppressive force, unprecedented, as if an ancient divine mountain had fallen upon their shoulders, rendering them immobile.
It was as if a supreme Divine Spirit had descended to the mortal world, a supreme aura suppressing the current era, no one could shake it.
What was going on?
But at this moment, Ye Chen's eyes shone brilliantly, looking toward the broken stone seat.
"It's here."
Old Yan's voice rang in his mind. At this time, the only one who could ignore everything was Old Yan. But he did not appear, still hiding within the ancient ring, watching all this, even looking toward the broken stone seat.
At the center, stood a tall stone seat, inscribed with ancient and complex patterns. Although half-collapsed, it still had a supreme Dao charm flowing from it. One could understand this was a peerless, world-shaking divine throne. The person who once sat upon it was so noble.
On the originally broken and empty stone seat, a figure suddenly appeared, seated upon it, looking down upon everyone, supreme and lofty.
