"Let's go!"
At Ye Chen's command, the numerous human race powerhouses departed, charging towards the depths of the Mythical Ruins Land.
However, the other Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, and scions of the Immortal Dao distinctly felt the chilling gaze Ye Chen cast before leaving. Each of them felt a chill in their hearts, as if being stared down by a peerless, terrifying entity.
Regret began to stir within them.
Only a few unfathomable Divine King-level Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, and Immortal Dao scions snorted coldly. Some, whose cultivation had reached the half-step Divine King level like the Human Imperial Son, also appeared indifferent and fearless.
Galen, the surviving Imperial Son from the Eight Desolates Ancient Universe, did not follow the human race's actions. Before leaving, he gave a slight nod towards Ye Chen and the others, then soared into the sky and departed.
The Mythical Ruins Land was vast and boundless, completely unlike the desolate wasteland left by the great battle of emperors that people imagined. On the contrary, it was brimming with endless vitality. There were continuous stretches of primeval forests, mountains and valleys, inhabited by countless great demons, as well as many majestic creatures, among which were Heavenly Kings and even Great Power-level existences.
However, these Heavenly Kings and Great Powers, the forest overlords who usually dominated this vast territory spanning millions of li, were not numerous. Especially the Great Power-level Demon Gods, there were only three. Initially, upon seeing the human race's divine ships brazenly traversing the sky, they wanted to strike them down.
This was the territory of Demon God Great Powers; how could outsiders trespass?
But soon, the three Great Power-level Demon Gods keenly sensed the many powerful Great Power auras emanating from the human race's divine ships. They all trembled, not daring to provoke in the slightest.
Among them, there were even faintly discernible auras that made even Great Power-level Demon Gods like them feel their hearts palpitate with fear—and not just one or two. They were both terrified and curious, wondering what beings were on those magnificent divine ships, actually traveling in groups, which was truly astonishing and puzzling.
They paid no heed to the Demon God Great Powers in the vast forest. The group piloted the ten divine ships, swiftly flying through the air, traversing a full several million li in one direction before finally sensing signs of human habitation.
Ahead, they saw a majestic city pass, only slightly inferior to the Ancestral God Pass, stretching for who knows how many tens of thousands of li.
However, powerful auras were clearly circulating on the majestic city pass. A powerful figure shot out from within—it was actually a Great Power.
Encountering a Great Power in the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain was normal, as it gathered 108 Imperial Clans and 3,000 Royal Clans from various ancient universes across the Chaos Sea. Naturally, there were many Great Powers. But encountering several Great Powers in this mysterious Mythical Ruins Land was enough to prove that this Mythical Ruins Land was no ordinary place.
"Great Powers, and so many of them!"
The Great Power guarding the city pass changed color. Seeing the numerous figures on the ten human race divine ships flying across the sky—whether from the older generation or the younger generation—there were over a hundred people, with many human race talents among them. Yet, more than half were Great Powers, and the remainder, even if not Great Powers, were Heavenly Kings. This could be called an absolutely terrifying lineup.
Especially the dozen or so figures from the older generation and the dozen or so young men and women at the forefront, they imperceptibly gave him an unprecedented sense of pressure, an extreme, great terror.
Under the circumstances, the Great Power guarding the city pass did not hesitate. He crushed a token, and a divine light shot into the sky.
Boom—
Almost simultaneously, a vast Divine King pressure erupted. From within the city pass, a powerful Divine King actually appeared.
It was an old Divine King, about the same age as the Tong Tian Divine King and the Ye Clan's old Divine King, but his pressure was considerably weaker. He quickly descended from afar onto the city pass, coldly watching the human race rapidly appearing in the distant sky. Naturally, he also sensed many Great Power pressures, which slightly surprised him. Moreover, their auras were quite unfamiliar. Immediately, he shouted, "Who goes there? This is the territory of the Capricorn Empire. Stop at once."
Beside him, a full eight ancient Great Powers also appeared. Together with the Great Power who sent the signal, there were nine Great Powers in total. No matter where they were, this could be considered a formidable lineup. It also made Ye Chen and the others inwardly shocked that within the Mythical Ruins Land, there existed so many Great Powers, and even a Divine King, all guarding the city pass.
Ye Chen and the others even suspected whether this was an empire occupied by an Imperial Clan. Divine Kings were not something ordinary forces could possess; among the 3,000 Royal Clans, only the top-tier ones possessed Divine King-level supreme powerhouses.
"Fellow Daoist!"
Among the human race Divine Kings, the Tong Tian old Divine King appeared. He seemed decrepit, like a withered tree, but the pressure he imperceptibly exuded even startled the Divine King guarding the city pass. Clearly, the other party was a terrifying Divine King superior to him.
Moreover, only when the other party truly approached did he sense that within this group, there were actually over ten people who were Divine Kings.
He even saw Yu Qing and Yuan Yang Divine King. Both actually gave him a terrifying divine might; undoubtedly, they were Divine Kings, making his heart palpitate with fear.
So strong!
What origins did these people have?
If they truly took action, the forces guarding the border pass would be far from sufficient.
The Divine King guarding the city pass felt his heart racing. The sudden appearance of so many super powerhouses made even a supreme powerhouse at the Divine King level like him unable to remain calm.
"Are you all forbidden living beings from the Vast Uninhabited Zone?" the old Divine King guarding the border pass spoke gravely, another token appearing in his hand.
This startled all the Great Powers guarding the city pass, because this was the highest-level token. Once crushed, it represented the most dangerous situation, requiring the mobilization of the empire's true hidden strength.
However, upon hearing "Vast Uninhabited Zone," the nine Great Powers on the border pass and the many border guards all changed expression.
Clearly, this was a taboo.
"Vast Uninhabited Zone?"
Ye Chen and the others shook their heads. The Tong Tian old Divine King said, "We come from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain."
"Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain!?"
The old Divine King guarding the city pass quickly understood, looking at them deeply. "So you are living beings from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain. You've come again."
Behind him, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the nine Great Powers.
However, Ye Chen clearly saw a deeply hidden... resentment!
Resentment?
Yet others noticed the other meaning in the words of this old Divine King guarding the city pass: 'come again'? Could it be that before them, other powerhouses from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain had also descended upon this land?
The Qing Huang Divine King asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by that? Did beings from our Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain also descend here in the past?"
"Yes, back then, the Ten Heavens above indeed sent down living beings, which triggered an unprecedented, enormous disaster, causing the forbidden beings of the Vast Uninhabited Zone to appear, nearly exterminating the various nations of the Mythical Emperor Domain!" the old Divine King guarding the border pass stated.
This left everyone stunned, though they very much wanted to understand what exactly had happened.
However, the old Divine King guarding the border pass did not elaborate further, only saying coldly, "Although you are numerous and not lacking in Divine Kings, there is one thing I still advise you: leave quickly, otherwise, a great calamity will befall you."
"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by that?" The group of human race Divine Kings were astonished, somewhat not understanding.
The old Divine King guarding the border pass gave a cold laugh. "The calamity is like this—"
Crack—
A highest-level token suddenly shattered. At the same moment, a majestic light, far surpassing the previous one countless times over, erupted from the token. Within it, an boundless pressure that even made Divine Kings tremble overflowed—
Monarch Heavenly Might!
A majestic, indescribable phantom figure manifested between heaven and earth, supporting the sky and standing upon the earth. Myriad Daos submitted around it, as if it were the master of the heavens. All living beings were to completely bow down.
An Ancient Monarch had descended!
