Ye Chen emerged from seclusion!
The moment he appeared, his two young generation's supreme servants were immediately startled awake, feeling both joy and complex emotions.
They were overjoyed that Ye Chen was still alive, for as their master, if he perished, they too would not survive.
What was complex was that this Battle Saint King was truly heaven-defying, having actually passed the trial of the Supreme Ancient Tower—a Supreme Trial that only Emperor Sons and Daughters could pass.
"Saint King, young friend, you've finally come out!" The Old City Lord also appeared, having naturally sensed it as well, feeling both shocked and delighted.
Ye Chen smiled and nodded. "I was fortunate enough to succeed. I've lingered in this city for over a month now and need to be on my way. I ask you, senior, to open the ancient path for me to depart."
"That is only right." The Old City Lord naturally could not refuse.
"Wait a moment. Before leaving, allow me to take something with me." With a flick of his sleeve, Ye Chen caused the Supreme Ancient Tower, which had stood for countless ages, to transform into a beam of light and vanish into his body, leaving the many people in the Trial Ancient City dumbfounded.
How could they know that this Supreme Ancient Tower was a defective product from the Sealed Boundary Universe's past attempt to refine the Human Sovereign Pagoda? It had been taken away by the Angel God Emperor Kristi and became a Supreme Trial artifact on the Supreme Ancient Path for the strongest young supremes like Emperor Sons and Daughters.
Now, the slumbering imprint left by Kristi had finally awaited the arrival of Ye Chen, the key person. Moreover, given the Sealed Boundary Universe's precarious situation and the fact that it was originally left for outstanding later talents like Ye Chen from the Sealed Boundary Universe, when imparting the Angel Emperor Scripture, Kristi had also handed over control of the Supreme Ancient Tower to Ye Chen.
It could be said that from then on, the Supreme Ancient Tower became Ye Chen's possession. It was a supreme treasure of the Great Dao, in no way inferior to a Monarch's Immortal Weapon. Moreover, as a defective product of the Human Sovereign Pagoda refined by the Human Sovereign and nurtured by the power of faith, the thoughts of all living beings, and fortune, it was even more extraordinary.
Looking at this Supreme Ancient Tower, Ye Chen recalled the Human Sovereign Pagoda of old, which had accompanied him throughout his growth and now stood guard at the Tenth Heavy Emperor Pass, defending the borders of the Sealed Boundary Universe and preventing the invasion of alien races.
Now, obtaining this defective product of the Human Sovereign Pagoda allowed him to feel a trace of the sensation from that pagoda of old, as if that immortal Dao Pagoda was once again accompanying him on his journey toward the peak of the Emperor Path.
"This—" The Old City Lord was dumbstruck. This scene was truly shocking. The Supreme Ancient Tower, which had remained unmoving for countless ages, had not only trembled when Ye Chen passed the Supreme Trial some time ago but was now actually taken away by the Battle Saint King. Did this not mean that the Supreme Trial of this Trial Ancient City would be gone forever?
Ye Chen cupped his fists. "Senior, this Supreme Ancient Tower is a treasure left by our Sealed Boundary Universe for us young supremes from the Sealed Boundary Universe. You should be able to tell that if it weren't so, how could I possibly take this tower? Taking it back now is only right and proper. I believe you, senior, are a man of great understanding and will not blame me."
Hearing this, the Old City Lord was first stunned, then smiled bitterly.
Indeed, the Supreme Ancient Tower was no ordinary object. Even Emperor Sons and Daughters could not take it away. No matter how powerful this Battle Saint King was, how could he have taken it otherwise?
Moreover, and more importantly, this Battle Saint King possessed transcendent, sage-like strength. With a mere raise of his hand, he could sweep away three young generation's supreme-level opponents. Even if he forcibly took this Supreme Ancient Tower, the Old City Lord, as a super great power at the early Eighth Heaven, could do nothing about it.
"Young friend taking away a treasure belonging to your Sealed Boundary Universe, this old man dares not and cannot blame you. It's just that with this, this Trial Ancient City has also become useless, no longer possessing a Supreme Trial." The Old City Lord smiled bitterly repeatedly.
Ye Chen said solemnly, "Senior, perhaps it's not just this Trial Ancient City. Other Trial Ancient Cities will likely become like this one after another."
"Young friend, what do you mean by that?" The Old City Lord was shaken.
"You should also know that the Supreme Ancient Path, which has rarely seen Emperor Sons and Daughters appear throughout the entire epoch, has now seen quite a few emerge all at once, gathered in this era—the arrival of a glorious great age." Ye Chen said. "In this great age, Emperor Sons and Daughters need to grow rapidly. Moreover, the Supreme Trials left in the various Trial Ancient Cities were originally left behind by the Emperors or Supreme Immortals of various Ancient Universes. In fact, they can all be considered Emperor Treasures and will be taken back one after another by the various Emperor Sons and Daughters, becoming their possessions."
"Perhaps after this era, there will be no more Supreme Path."
The Old City Lord's expression changed abruptly, and he murmured to himself, "No more Supreme Path from now on—"
He very much wanted to refute it, but the fact was indeed so. The various Supreme Trials of the Supreme Ancient Path were originally Emperor Treasures left behind by the Emperors or Supreme Immortals of various Ancient Universes, intended as Supreme Trials for Emperor Sons and Daughters. But this era was different. All the sealed Emperor Sons and Daughters had been released at once, flooding into this Supreme Ancient Path.
The Emperor Treasures that once belonged to the various Ancient Universes would also return one after another to the descendants of their respective Emperors.
And because of this, the trials and competition on this Supreme Ancient Path would truly descend into an unprecedented frenzy in history.
Ye Chen also seemed to see a glorious yet tragic great age rushing toward him.
And all of this was merely a prelude to a blood-stained future.
Under the Old City Lord's guidance, Ye Chen, Abenue, Mo Haishen, Luo Guyun, and the others stepped into the transmission channel, completely disappearing from this Trial Ancient Pass and heading toward the next Supreme Trial.
The Supreme Ancient Path was far more monotonous compared to the Ultimate Ancient Path.
The trial participants on the Supreme Ancient Path were either Emperor Sons and Daughters or the strongest young supremes who had entered this path by other means. Their numbers were far less than one or two thousandths of those on the Ultimate Ancient Path.
Along the way, Ye Chen also set foot in several Trial Ancient Passes. Without exception, they had all become dead cities, long since emptied of people, leaving only the glory of bygone eras behind.
As for the so-called Supreme Trials, they had basically vanished.
Perhaps they had been taken away by those Emperor Sons and Daughters from the various Ancient Universes, or perhaps Ye Chen simply could not find them.
During this journey, Ye Chen also had Abenue enter the Supreme Ancient Tower to undergo trials.
Now that Ye Chen basically controlled the Supreme Ancient Tower, he could also control the trials within, adjusting the corresponding difficulty. Thus, he had Abenue undergo a Supreme Trial at the level of an ordinary young generation's supreme of the same rank.
He also had Mo Haishen and Luo Guyun undergo such Supreme Trials. After all, they were his servants. If he lived, they lived; if he died, they died. They obeyed all his commands and were also young generation's supremes with great growth potential. Naturally, they needed to be nurtured to become great aids in the future.
Especially Abenue, who was a mutant insect race Mother Queen and had even received a portion of Ye Chen's Dragon Source bestowal, possessed high plasticity. In the specially arranged young generation's supreme-level trials, she fought again and again. Although she was ultimately defeated each time, through these repeated Supreme Trials, she also grew rapidly. From initially being able to hold out for less than half an hour against her opponent, she gradually extended that time.
Now, even though she had not yet broken through the Ninth Heaven shackles to cultivate to the Tenth Heaven realm, she could hold out for three hours against an ordinary young generation's supreme of the same rank—a truly excellent achievement.
Moreover, Ye Chen also imparted his own and other Sealed Boundary Universe young generation's supremes' experiences in achieving the Tenth Heaven to Abenue. He believed that given time, Abenue would surely break through the Ninth Heaven shackles and achieve the status of a Tenth Heaven young generation's supreme.
