Within the Divine Light Sphere, radiance flowed and swirled. Vaguely visible was another crown, one far more resplendent and magnificent than any imagined by the world. It was engraved with intricate, ancient patterns, and the character for 'Emperor' was imprinted upon it.
An Emperor's Crown!
The Emperor's Crown of an ancient Great Emperor! Its entire body presented a crimson gold hue, pure and flawless, as if the most terrifying flames had solidified into substance, perpetually seeming to burn. The majesty of an ancient Great Emperor also flowed down from it.
An Emperor's Crown forged from Sunfire Crimson Gold!
Witnessing this scene, everyone immediately halted their actions, their gazes turning towards that Divine Light Sphere. In that moment, their eyes erupted with dazzling light, as if their pupils had transformed into two blazing suns, burning with intense fervor.
Simultaneously, others looked towards Ye Chen, noticing the Emperor's Ring on his hand. They were slightly stunned. It was precisely the Emperor's Ring that Ye Tianchen had cut open within the Longevity Hall, which had vanished after Ye Tianchen's self-detonation. Everyone had searched fruitlessly for it, never expecting it to have fallen into the hands of this mysterious black-robed figure.
Yet, who exactly was this person?
How had he obtained this Emperor's Ring?
However, these were merely fleeting doubts flashing through everyone's minds. Almost at the same instant, everyone abandoned the other Divine Light Spheres and charged towards the one enveloping the Crimson Gold Emperor Crown.
Without a doubt, the inheritance of the ancient Great Emperor was most likely contained within this Crimson Gold Emperor Crown.
Ye Chen's expression shifted slightly. He hadn't expected the location of the Emperor's Treasure to be directly exposed. However, he showed not the slightest hesitation. Almost the moment the light surged, he was the first to charge towards the Crimson Gold Emperor Crown.
He was the first to rush forward, a step faster than the other Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants, reaching out to grasp the Crimson Gold Emperor Crown.
"Scram!"
From behind, the other Emperor Sons and Daughters arrived, just a step behind. Seeing Ye Chen's action, they instantly attacked together, their strikes blasting towards the black-robed figure before them.
Ye Chen's face changed. Even someone as powerful as him dared not withstand the combined assaults of so many Emperor Sons and Daughters. He dodged aside with lightning speed, intending to find another opportunity to seize the crown.
At that moment, a voice abruptly rang out—
"The Divine says, the Emperor's Crown shall fall into my hand!"
The most mysterious white-robed figure spoke. With a hum, an intangible, formless power of law suddenly transformed into invisible ripples that spread out, shooting like lightning towards the Divine Light Sphere enveloping the Crimson Gold Emperor Crown high above.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, that mysterious Crimson Gold Emperor Crown within the Divine Light Sphere instantly shot towards the white-robed figure's direction, landing directly in his hand.
The Divine Light Sphere shattered directly, revealing only the supremely lofty Crimson Gold Emperor Crown, shimmering with dazzling crimson-gold light, like a crimson-gold great sun formed from a Golden Crow, suspended there.
Beneath the glorious crimson-gold radiance, the white-robed figure was illuminated, his entire body bathed in crimson mist as if bathing in blazing crimson flames, extremely eye-catching.
"What's going on? How did the Crimson Gold Emperor Crown fly over to that person?"
"A very strange law power, quite rare, resembling a certain Great Dao Law that belongs only to legend."
"It's the Divine Language Law!"
The knowledge of the various Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants was vast. Naturally, they quickly recognized it as the legendary Divine Language Law, a Great Dao Law akin to 'words becoming law'.
No one had expected someone to have mastered it, and that person was also a Strongest Young Supreme.
Ye Chen was even more stunned, staring in shock at this white-robed figure. Such a familiar tone, such a familiar Great Dao Law—who else could it be but that fellow Will?
He couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, though he didn't immediately speak up and reveal the fellow's identity. Instead, he transmitted a voice message: "Run, quick!"
The mysterious white-robed figure seemed puzzled about who had transmitted the message to him. However, at this moment, he was not slow in the slightest, charging towards the distance.
At the very end of the Secret Hall, there was a door that could lead out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Almost in an instant, all the Emperor Sons and Daughters charged forward, attacking the mysterious white-robed figure. The Crimson Gold Emperor Crown, suspected to contain the Emperor's Dao inheritance, was in his hands. It was something they were determined to obtain; how could they allow it to disappear before their eyes?
"Where do you think you're escaping to?"
"Hand over the Emperor's Crown, and we might spare your life!"
"Better to surrender the Emperor's Crown. You alone cannot possibly safeguard this Crimson Gold Emperor Crown."
The Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants spoke one after another, directly pressuring the mysterious white-robed figure.
The white-robed figure, holding the Crimson Gold Emperor Crown with one hand, raised his other hand and extended a middle finger far towards the assembled Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants: "Hey—"
Although they didn't know what the middle finger specifically represented, it looked unmistakably like a blatant gesture of contempt. The expressions of the Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants turned rather unpleasant.
The white-robed figure spotted Bai Ze in the distance and called out, "Hey, old man Bai Ze, how do we get out of this broken hall?"
Bai Ze looked towards the far end of the Secret Hall and said, "Right there, there's the hall's main gate. Once you open it, you can leave the Secret Hall at any time and proceed to the Emperor City."
"Is there a direct teleportation passage out of this broken world?" the white-robed figure asked again.
"No."
"Damn, not even a teleportation gate, and they call this the highest-level Ninth-Grade Secret Hall—" the white-robed figure cursed under his breath, yet his speed didn't falter in the slightest. His entire form transformed into a streak of flowing light, a bolt of lightning, shooting towards the farthest point, heading straight for the hall's main gate.
However, the other Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants behind him were not slow either. They too sped towards the white-robed figure at extreme velocity, continuously unleashing terrifying divine ability attacks as they went, attacks that blotted out the sky and were utterly fearsome.
"The Divine says, let everything disperse!"
The white-robed figure spoke. As he opened his mouth, he appeared supremely sacred, like a deity uttering a decree. Intangible Divine Language Law power spread out, rushing towards the numerous attacks from behind.
Puff! Puff! Puff!—
One after another of those terrifying attacks, each capable of slaying a Great Power, dissipated abruptly before everyone's eyes, as if they had never existed—a truly bizarre sight.
However, attempting to nullify the attacks of these Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants was not something even the Divine Language Law of a fellow Strongest Young Supreme could fully manage. It was visible to the naked eye that the Strongest Young Supreme beneath the white robe trembled violently, a trace of crimson blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, he had also suffered a degree of backlash.
"The Divine Language Law is indeed extraordinary," remarked Changsheng Imperial Son among the pursuing figures, sighing lightly. His gaze was wise as he watched the white-robed figure's retreating back, seemingly pondering the other's true identity.
By this time, the white-robed figure had already charged to the location of the hall's main gate and collided with it.
