Hearing the coldness contained within Ye Chen's words, the experts from the various imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and the Mythical Emperor Domain all felt somewhat awkward. It was clear that after the incident where they had abandoned the human race and left first, the other party held great resentment towards them, with no favorable impression whatsoever. Therefore, the message was not for them, but for the Myriad Rotten God Demons.
Moreover, compared to the two Ancient Monarchs ahead, the green eyes within the Deep and Dark Ancient Path were obviously many times more dangerous. At the very least, although the two Ancient Monarchs were unleashing their pressure, it seemed as if they were providing some kind of escort for them. However, the green eyes were determined to devour everyone, turning them into blood food in its maw—a fight to the death. Precisely because of this, everyone hesitated for a moment, but ultimately still chased after Ye Chen's footsteps, rushing towards the distant sky, all for the sake of the Life Essence.
Because their fundamental goal from the beginning was the Life Essence. Now that it had fallen into Ye Chen's hands, they naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity and would continue to struggle for it.
Following the path guided by the pressure released by the two Ancient Monarchs, soon, everyone saw the opening ahead. During this time, the green eyes never made a move, as if they were somewhat apprehensive—whether because of the Original Sin Ancient Beast or because of the two Ancient Monarchs was unknown!
At this moment, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, which resembled a seven-year-old boy, coldly stared at the green eyes within the Deep and Dark Ancient Path, his aura growing increasingly blazing. He said, "Wushi Monarch, should we take action against it?"
Wushi Monarch also gazed for a long time, but in the end, he slowly restrained his entire aura and said, "Now is not the time. We cannot startle the snake."
Hearing this, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body also nodded slightly and did not speak again.
Whoosh—
Soon, Ye Chen, carrying the Life Essence, was the first to rush out, landing before the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and Wushi Monarch. Behind him, the Myriad Rotten God Demons appeared in a mighty procession, followed by the numerous experts from the imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and the Mythical Emperor Domain.
At the same time, the Deep and Dark Ancient Path actually began to close rapidly.
"Not good! It wants to hide away!"
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and Wushi Monarch exchanged a glance, both realizing that the great terror of the Chaos Burial Ground clearly intended to completely close the Deep and Dark Ancient Path and go into seclusion.
Both of them immediately erupted with the majestic power of the Ancient Monarch level, striking the Deep and Dark Ancient Path with all their might to prevent its closure.
However, three towering pillars emerged from within, each containing the majestic power of the Ancient Monarch level. They collided heavily, dispersing the attacks of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and Wushi Monarch. The Deep and Dark Ancient Path completely closed, disappearing from the world, leaving only a voice echoing: "The connection has been severed. When I emerge again, it will be the time when this Emperor truly descends upon the Origin Ancient Road. Wait for the seal of the Chaos Burial Ground to be broken!"
The Deep and Dark Ancient Path had vanished, disappearing so abruptly from the Origin Ancient Road. Even if the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and Wushi Monarch wanted to find it, it would be very difficult because the connection was gone. The great terror of the Chaos Burial Ground knew that Ye Chen was related to the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, which was why it had allowed them to leave.
It sensed a true crisis, so this strand of monitoring consciousness decisively closed the Deep and Dark Ancient Path, waiting for its main consciousness to completely transform and revive before choosing to emerge.
Ye Chen's expression was extremely grim. Wushi Monarch also wore a solemn look. His divine sense swept through this area of heaven and earth but found no trace of the Deep and Dark Ancient Path. He understood in his heart that the other party had once been an existence at the level of an Ancient Great Emperor. If it wanted to hide, it would be very difficult for either of them to find it.
"Seniors!"
At this moment, the numerous experts from the imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and the Mythical Emperor Domain all appeared, respectfully bowing in salute to the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and Wushi Monarch.
Although the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body looked like a young boy, they all clearly understood that he possessed absolute, peerless power capable of annihilating ordinary Divine Kings with a snap of his fingers. His profound eyes revealed that he was most likely an ancient fossil who had lived for endless years. They did not dare to look down on him in the slightest.
Moreover, in this world, those who achieve more are often considered teachers. Therefore, addressing him as 'senior' was not inappropriate.
If only they knew that the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was Ye Chen's clone, how spectacular their expressions would be.
Only the Myriad Rotten God Demons, led by the eight rotten creatures, remained motionless. Especially the eight rotten creatures—they all knew that the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body had a great connection with Ye Chen, but they did not speak up, indifferently watching all of this.
Their true goal was only to ensure the Black Burial Coffin remained safe and sound; they would not interfere with anything else.
Wushi Monarch looked towards the Life Essence, his eyes flickering slightly. The human experts within immediately grew vigilant, especially the two Divine King old-timers, Tongtian Old Divine King and Ye Family Old Divine King, who appeared particularly guarded. Everyone other than Ye Chen seemed somewhat wary and did not immediately step forward.
Among them, Ye Chen also looked up at the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, then at Wushi Monarch, giving an almost imperceptible slight nod.
Wushi Monarch seemed to understand, a smile slowly curling at the corner of his mouth.
However, when the experts from the Life Imperial Clan, Hua Imperial Dynasty, and other imperial clans and Immortal Clans saw this scene, they thought that Wushi Monarch and the others had set their sights on the Life Essence. Their hearts immediately turned cold, knowing that trying to struggle for the Life Essence under the watchful eyes of two Ancient Monarchs was clearly somewhat impossible unless they wanted to seek death.
Immediately, many of them exchanged glances, their hearts stirring. They all shouted towards the human experts: "Humans, why aren't you leaving quickly and handing over the Life Essence? Do you still want to keep holding onto it without letting go?"
With existences at the Ancient Monarch level right before their eyes, although they couldn't contend for it, at this moment, as long as they curried favor with the two peerless existences, it was still better than letting it fall into human hands.
All living beings always have this kind of mentality: if I can't get it, then no one else should either.
Ye Chen's face darkened. The other human experts all glared angrily at these experts from the imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and the Mythical Emperor Domain. They were truly ungrateful. Earlier, it was because of their guidance that they had managed to escape the Deep and Dark Ancient Path smoothly. Now, they were betraying them instead. These experts from the imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and the Mythical Emperor Domain really shouldn't have been saved.
Of course, only a minority spoke up. More of the imperial clans and Immortal Clans watched coldly from the sidelines, though their silence also tacitly amounted to approval.
Only the Imperial Son Garen from the Eight Desolates Ancient Universe stepped forward, his eyes wide as he snorted coldly: "A bunch of ungrateful wretches! If not for the human race, more than half of you would have perished inside. Now that you've escaped safely, you betray them at the first opportunity. Truly despicable."
