One month later, the human powerhouses were fully prepared and ready to set out.
The various imperial clans, immortal clans, and the Mythical Emperor Domain had also stayed for the full ten years, fulfilling their promises, and had all left one after another not long ago.
"Battle Saint King, if there is a chance outside the realm, a life-and-death battle!"
Before leaving, the Thunder Imperial Son left behind a declaration of challenge. He wanted to challenge the Battle Saint King, to kill him and strangle him in the cradle before he could achieve the Divine King realm.
Other Emperor Sons and Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants also erupted with blazing fighting spirit, some with provocation, wishing to contend with the Battle Saint King.
Ye Chen watched their departing direction coldly, not taking action, merely standing with his hands behind his back, exuding the majesty of a peerless Supreme One.
In the vast world, he had long since transcended beyond the level of combat power represented by half-step Divine King level Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and the like. The only ones who made him feel threatened were Divine King level Emperor Sons, like the Thunder Imperial Son. Perhaps there would be a great confrontation in the future.
However, he was unafraid and even looked forward to it. His combat power reigned supreme, absolutely invincible within the same realm. Even if he had to fight across realms against more powerful Emperor Son-level figures, he could still battle.
"Senior Brother, why didn't you take action? Otherwise, slaying these Emperor Sons and Daughters, these Immortal Dao Descendants, would be like slaughtering dogs, carving out an invincible reputation," Qin Wushuang asked, puzzled.
"It's fine. Now is not the time to deal with them. Even trash can be used, let alone them. At the very least, we need to use them to deal with the alien races of the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain first, to completely expel them. Only then can we act," Ye Chen responded, his words merciless.
The vows made by the various imperial clans and immortal clans under the deterrence of the Worldless Monarch back then were still engraved in his heart, to be used to the very end.
Those not of our race are sure to have different hearts.
The provocations over these years had long been clear as day. Given the chance, these imperial clans and immortal clans would surely exterminate the human race, not tolerating its growth, and certainly not tolerating the "Supreme" immortal fate falling into human hands.
If it weren't for the fact that the human race was truly too powerful, war would have broken out long ago.
Naturally, given the chance, the human race would also act, carrying out expulsion, with no mercy to speak of.
On this day, the human powerhouses all appeared outside the Emperor Hall, numbering up to a thousand in total. The quantity was extremely massive, a terrifying and luxurious lineup.
One must know, at the very least, they were all at the Great Power level or above, surpassing the past. If this lineup were to return to the Sealed Universe, it would directly elevate the entire great universe's surface-level power by more than one tier.
Ye Chen, Yu Qing, A Beinu, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, Shan Ji, Di Wushuang, Ye Cangqiong, and other top figures of the younger generation, along with numerous Divine Kings, stood at the forefront. Behind them were the Heaven's Pride Prodigies from the various imperial clans.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body also appeared, perfect and restrained.
With the return of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, this journey to the Heavenly Emperor Realm had even more assurance.
At this moment, the doors of the Emperor Hall opened, and the heroic figure of the Golden Crow Great Emperor appeared, capable of propping up eternity, seeing through past and present. He said, "To avoid wasting time, I will now act to open a shortcut passage for you all, reaching an area not far from the Heavenly Emperor Realm."
Boom—
With a great roar, the Golden Crow Great Emperor acted. Blazing lightning leaped, tearing apart heaven and earth, opening a passage leading to the Heavenly Emperor Realm!
"Go. I will act to shield your heavenly secrets for you. Even if the Heavenly Emperor within the Heavenly Emperor Realm does not truly investigate deeply or perform divination, he will not discover your true origins."
"Be cautious above all else. You may contend for the various opportunities within the Heavenly Emperor Realm, but do not be careless. The Heavenly Emperor originates from the Chaos Burial Ground. Once he discovers you are humans, he is very likely to take action. For you, that would be a disaster. Those willing to stay behind now still have time."
The Golden Crow Great Emperor spoke, admonishing the powerhouses.
But the human powerhouses each had firm Dao hearts. This journey to the Heavenly Emperor Realm held many opportunities, perhaps no less than the Emperor Battle Domain, or even surpassing it. Even though it was filled with danger, no one harbored thoughts of retreat.
Seeing this scene, the Golden Crow Great Emperor nodded and said, "Go!"
Boom—
The powerforces assembled, and then, under the protection of the Golden Crow Great Emperor, they entered the passage, officially heading for the Heavenly Emperor Realm!
"An Ancient Sovereign? I very much want to know if there truly still exists a perfectly complete Ancient Great Emperor in the present era?"
An imperial clan Heaven's Pride spoke. The Sealed Universe was broken; all the emperors and sovereigns of the past had disappeared, either fallen or gone far away to other lands. None could be seen in the Sealed Universe; only in the outer universe could they be glimpsed. But the Golden Crow Great Emperor before them was merely the partial return of an emperor soul, not yet a perfectly complete Ancient Great Emperor. Therefore, regarding such truly Ancient Great Emperor-level existences, many younger generation Heaven's Pride Prodigies held an expectant attitude.
It was widely rumored that the Ancient Sovereign in the Heavenly Emperor Realm, titled the Heavenly Emperor, was even going to accept a personal disciple.
Stepping into the blazing passage, many people held an intensely fervent anticipation for the various opportunities within the Heavenly Emperor Realm. It was said there were other Sovereign Dao inheritances not yet discovered, and even heaven-defying treasures that could directly allow one to become a Primordial Monarch.
It was a hundred boats contending, going against the current. Whether one would become a peerless Heaven's Pride capable of contending with the various Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants, or fade into obscurity among the masses, all depended on this time.
They were all outstanding members of the younger generation, all young and vigorous. Who would be willing to remain ordinary for a lifetime, watching others step onto the peak of the Great Dao while they themselves faded away?
The eyes of many imperial clan Heaven's Prides erupted with dazzling light.
However, the Emperor Sons and Daughters and the strongest young Supreme Ones did not possess this blazing light. Instead, they held more caution, knowing that the dangers they needed to face this time far surpassed those of the Emperor Battle Domain, even rivaling those of the Slaughtering Demon Emperor.
"Let's go!"
Boom—
With Ye Chen and the others taking the lead, everyone charged into the passage, thus leaving the Golden Crow Emperor Realm!
...
The Emperor Battle Domain was vast and boundless, with countless fragments of continents and a scattering of star remains, occasionally sinking and floating. All were remnants of the latter sections of the Primordial Path of Origin opened in ancient times, completely shattered in the great battle of numerous emperors and supreme immortals, forming the current boundless, fragmented domain.
However, no matter how vast this domain was, it ultimately had an end.
Like now, before them was a vacuum zone, precisely the end of the Emperor Battle Domain.
Boom—
At the very end of the Emperor Battle Domain, a bolt of blazing lightning suddenly tore open the void, and then a massive passage appeared, from which numerous powerhouses emerged. It was precisely Ye Chen leading the human powerhouses.
This was the very end. A little further ahead lay the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
Visible to the naked eye, the Heavenly Emperor Realm was vast and boundless, unimaginably large, even many times larger than the Annihilation Dome Great World. However, it emitted a faint, evil aura that made one's heart tremble.
"This, is the Heavenly Emperor Realm!"
The powerhouses were all solemn, not daring to be careless.
"The holy remains of the Formless Ancient Ancestor are within the Heavenly Emperor Realm. This time, no matter what, we must welcome them back!" a powerhouse from the Qin imperial clan said gravely. This matter concerned the Formless Monarch and could not be taken lightly.
Meanwhile, the other human Heaven's Pride Prodigies all revealed fervent gazes, eagerly anticipating the heaven-defying opportunities they might encounter within the Heavenly Emperor Realm. If they could obtain a Sovereign Dao inheritance, that would undoubtedly be the best.
The powerhouses were all very cautious, not immediately setting foot into the Heavenly Emperor Realm. Instead, they carefully investigated and, finding no dangers outside the Heavenly Emperor Realm, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen, hand in hand with his two beloved wives, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, Shan Ji, and others, followed by the Seven Supreme Talents, the Nine Divine Kings, and the numerous Heaven's Pride Prodigies from the Brilliant Emperor Domain, took the lead in charging towards the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
"We go too!"
The others naturally were unwilling to fall behind, following closely.
