Faced with the complaints from the various imperial clans, immortal clans, and powerhouses of the Mythical Emperor Domain, the Wushi Monarch merely smiled indifferently, completely unperturbed. On the contrary, he spoke clearly and loudly, "This lord knows you all have grievances regarding this temporarily added fifth condition. However, believe this lord, even if I didn't mention this so-called fifth condition, you would still have no choice but to do it. It concerns the life and death of every single one of you."
Upon hearing this, all the powerhouses were shaken, including those from the human race, their hearts turning cold. What exactly did the Wushi Monarch mean by these words?
Ye Chen, however, stepped forward and said calmly, "As for the terrifying nature of that pair of mysterious green giant eyes within the Deep and Dark Ancient Path, I believe you have all encountered it before and should know its fearsomeness. What Ancestor Wushi is about to discuss now is precisely it!"
Indeed, the powerhouses from the various great imperial clans, immortal clans, and the Mythical Emperor Domain all felt a chill in their hearts. It was actually related to that mysterious green giant eye existence. That green giant eye had referred to itself as 'this emperor,' suspected to be an Emperor-level supreme existence.
Moreover, within the Deep and Dark Ancient Path, if not for the intervention of Ye Chen, the mysterious existence within the pitch-black burial coffin, and the Primordial Sin Beast, the powerhouses from the various imperial clans, immortal clans, and the Mythical Emperor Domain would likely have suffered heavy casualties, with none spared. Just recalling it now made their hearts race with fear. What astonishing origins did that green giant eye possess?
"All of you hail from imperial clans and immortal clans, with broad knowledge and experience. You possess some secret ancient texts left behind by Emperors and supreme immortals concerning the Chaos Sea. I believe you also know of the Chaos Burial Ground," Ye Chen said slowly. The moment the words "Chaos Burial Ground" fell, all the Divine Kings from the imperial and immortal clans, as well as the imperial sons and daughters and immortal progeny, immediately changed expressions. Only some of the young talents and the powerhouses from the various forces of the Mythical Emperor Domain appeared bewildered, finding it very unfamiliar.
The Chaos Burial Ground—a forbidden land that had buried an entire epoch. How could the various great imperial and immortal clans not be aware of it?
That kind of forbidden land was something even Emperors and supreme immortals dreaded immensely, as it involved many taboos. There were even ancient Great Emperor-level Supreme Ones who had perished because of it, and not just one. It could be considered a forbidden land ranked among the most notorious in the entire Chaos Sea.
At this moment, that mysterious green giant eye existence was actually connected to the Chaos Burial Ground. Clearly, it was no ordinary matter.
Seeing the grim expressions on the faces of the powerhouses, Ye Chen smiled indifferently, "I believe everyone has vaguely guessed it in their hearts. That's right, the green giant eye is an ancient Great Emperor-level existence from the Chaos Burial Ground."
Although they had already suspected as much, now that Ye Chen directly mentioned it, the various great imperial clans, immortal clans, and even the powerhouses of the Mythical Emperor Domain felt their hearts tremble, a sense of dread washing over them. They had never imagined they would encounter such an ancient Great Emperor-level existence within the Deep and Dark Ancient Path.
Such a Supreme One possessed heaven-defying, earth-shaking abilities, capable of overlooking the past, present, and future—supreme powers, eternal and immortal, impervious to the erosion of time. For countless people, they belonged to the realm of legend. Even many Divine Kings might spend their entire lives without ever catching a glimpse of such an existence.
Yet now, they had encountered such an existence within the Deep and Dark Ancient Path, and even engaged in battle with it. Just thinking about it sent chills down their spines. Being able to survive was truly fortunate.
The Wushi Monarch said, "You all need not be overly afraid. Although the other party is an existence comparable to an ancient Great Emperor, that was in the immeasurably distant past. Now, it no longer possesses that heaven-defying, earth-shaking supreme power of its peak years."
Many people breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Fortunately, it was not as formidable as before; otherwise, facing an ancient Great Emperor-level existence, everything else would be mere ants.
However, the Wushi Monarch's next sentence instantly dashed the hopes of many. He said, "Don't rejoice too soon. Even if it is not currently at the ancient Great Emperor level, after lying dormant for countless tens of thousands of years, devouring countless blood sacrifices, including billions of living beings from the eight great imperial and immortal clans, it has now begun to recover towards its peak state. I believe it won't be many more years before it fully restores its peak cultivation and steps back into the Emperor realm."
Although the various great imperial clans, immortal clans, and the powerhouses of the Mythical Emperor Domain felt terror in their hearts, they forcibly suppressed it now. Knowing that the Wushi Monarch likely had a plan, they asked, "May we ask, Your Majesty, how should we deal with it?"
"Currently, because it has devoured the endless living beings of many imperial and immortal clans as blood sacrifices, it lies dormant within the Deep and Dark Ancient Path, focusing all its efforts on recovering its peak state. Therefore, what you encountered in the Deep and Dark Ancient Path was merely a strand of its consciousness. Its true main consciousness is in a critical moment of transformation. Moreover, this period will not be too short. Therefore, as long as we find the opportunity, gather everyone, and strike together, we have a complete chance to deal with it. We can interrupt it during this most critical moment of transformation, causing it to suffer a terrifying backlash. That is our opportunity. The so-called fifth condition is for you to gather and deploy the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array, cooperating with this lord and him to strike together."
The Wushi Monarch pointed at the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
Two Ancient Monarch-level existences, one of whom was the Wushi Monarch, a Battle Saint lineage Ancient Monarch, whose combat power far surpassed that of other monarchs of the same rank.
The Divine Kings from the various imperial clans, immortal clans, and the Mythical Emperor Domain, nearly a hundred in total, cooperating together and mastering the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array, could unleash even more terrifying combat power.
Hearing this, the various great imperial clans, immortal clans, and the powerhouses of the Mythical Emperor Domain did not refuse and agreed. They also knew this was currently the best method.
The ancient Divine King from the immortal clan who mastered the Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array sighed lightly, "If we could gather one hundred and eight Divine King figures, this Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array could fully unleash heaven-defying divine might, capable of even slaying an Ancient Monarch!"
Immediately after, his aged eyes swept over the Wushi Monarch, but he felt somewhat helpless. Of course, such a peerless monarch from the Battle Saint lineage could not be measured by common sense. Whether it could actually be slain was another matter.
Regarding this, the Wushi Monarch smiled lightly, "On this point, you need not worry. Including all of you, we can gather enough for one hundred and eight Divine King powerhouses."
The various great imperial clans, immortal clans, and the powerhouses of the Mythical Emperor Domain were also startled, not quite understanding. But soon, they realized. Since a peerless monarch like the Wushi Monarch could appear on this Origin Ancient Path, it was likely that other living beings also existed deep within the Origin Ancient Path.
Living beings dwelling on the Origin Ancient Path?
While many people breathed a sigh of relief, they were also filled with various curiosities about this Origin Ancient Path. Naturally, this included members of the human race, who were equally curious about the Origin Ancient Path. However, everything they had seen along the way were desolate, barren lands, devoid of heavenly laws and even the slightest trace of spiritual energy, which was astonishing.
The Wushi Monarch smiled faintly and said no more. Instead, a brilliant radiance wantonly emanated from his body, enveloping everyone.
Then, with a thunderous roar, a resplendent, golden-bright grand avenue extended beneath their feet, stretching for who knew how many tens of thousands of miles. Various wondrous phenomena manifested: the starry sky trembled, dragons and tigers roared, Golden Crows soared across the sky, Heavenly Pengs spread their wings, and True Dragons soared...
