It must be known that when they first entered the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, it had been less than a hundred years. The majority of the geniuses and talents were basically at the Heavenly King Realm, and some had even been contending for reincarnation during this period. Their cultivation could be considered decent, but when viewed across the entire Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, they were absolutely not considered powerful.
However, accompanied by years of continuous tempering and growth, especially after entering the Emperor War Battlefield in recent years, with unimaginable divine treasure resources, the Great Dao inheritances of supreme powerhouses, and endless trials between life and death, a single year could match decades of cultivation for others.
Each of them had undergone countless life-and-death trials, achieving significant progress. Their cultivation surged, and they all stepped into the Great Power Realm.
Some even stepped into the Divine King level, surpassing the Emperor's Sons, Emperor's Daughters, and the strongest young supremes by a step.
It must be known that in the past, even with abundant resources, it would take at least two to three hundred years to truly step into that realm.
Now, it was accomplished in a short time. The effectiveness of their tempering over these years was evident.
Moreover, the various Emperor Clans of the human race sensed the predicament of the Sealed Boundary Universe. After the Great Mythical Destruction, having passed through an entire epoch era, it was only in this generation that the myriad Daos gradually revived with vitality. The cultivation environment became suitable for cultivation, and only then did more and more powerful geniuses and heroes gradually emerge.
But overall, compared to other Chaos Ancient Universes, the gap was enormous, especially with the Ancient Universe of the Alien Race, which was constantly watching like a tiger, being absurdly powerful.
The Ancient Universe of the Alien Race, throughout history, had always possessed ten complete heavens, with the Heavenly Dao flawless. The accumulation over an epoch era was even more terrifying.
To resist the impending invasion of the Alien Race Ancient Universe in the future, the human race could only hope for a sliver of hope by producing more supreme powerhouses in this glorious great era.
Therefore, even if more than half of these Emperor Clan geniuses before them might perish in future trials, as long as a few more Supreme Ones could be born, they were willing.
As for Ye Chen, his purpose was also to retrieve the Sacred Corpse of the Formless Monarch. On the other hand, it was to obstruct the Heavenly Emperor's goal, sealing the various temples to prevent the successful gathering of faith power, thereby weakening some forces indirectly.
Naturally, he knew he didn't need to weaken them too much. He could only do his best in this regard. Ultimately, it still depended on the Golden Crow Great Emperor.
However, during this journey, the Golden Crow Great Emperor had also deduced some heavenly secrets, foreseeing a crisis, and warned them not to linger for too long. The Great Emperor sensed that the Heavenly Emperor would eventually discover all this. Once he took action, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Great Emperor suspected that the Heavenly Emperor's acceptance of disciples also involved some conspiracy and should not be fully trusted.
But for now, this was still the Golden Crow Great Emperor's speculation, without any basis.
Ye Chen believed the Golden Crow Great Emperor would not deceive him. Therefore, within the Heavenly Emperor's Realm, he was extremely cautious, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.
Similarly, this journey to the Heavenly Emperor's Realm was also Ye Chen's journey to achieve Divine Kinghood.
If he missed this opportunity, who knew when the next chance to achieve Divine Kinghood would be.
Because the Golden Crow Great Emperor had personally intervened, deducing a relatively safe and high-success-rate path to Divine Kinghood for him, pointing towards the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum!
The Heaven-Fall Mausoleum was rumored to contain the partial remains of the Emperors and Supreme Immortals who fought in ancient times, with countless supreme powerhouses buried within. It was a divine tomb land, one of the forbidden lands within the Heavenly Emperor's Realm.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor had deduced that if Ye Chen wished to elevate his Chaos Sacred Body to the extreme and become a Chaos Divine King, he should make his breakthrough within the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum.
There, infinite divine and demon corpses were buried, and they were no ordinary divine demons. At the very least, one needed cultivation above the Great Power Realm to qualify for burial there. The number of Divine King corpses was unknown, and there were even Monarch-level ones. They were all followers who fought alongside the Emperors and Supreme Immortals of both sides in the previous epoch era, not ordinary individuals.
Moreover, the Golden Crow Great Emperor, using his Heaven-Penetrating Eye, had glimpsed an Immortal Pond nurtured within the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum. It was not large, but it contained the laws of the myriad Great Daos, even Supreme Emperor Laws. It was an Immortal Pond formed from the flesh and blood essence of the supreme powerhouses of the heavens.
Bathing within it would make it easier to comprehend the myriad Great Daos of the heavens and allow one to absorb them, thereby achieving ultimate sublimation. It offered greater hope of breaking through the predicament and becoming a Divine King.
If Ye Chen were to charge through the Divine King barrier, he could choose to do so within this Immortal Pond of the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, with a higher chance of success.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor also believed that breaking through within the Immortal Pond might trigger some higher-level transformations, which would be very helpful for him.
Of course, the real reason was that it was too difficult for Ye Chen to achieve Divine Kinghood. Once he broke through, he would not be an ordinary Divine King, but a Chaos Divine King, rare throughout history.
The difficulty of this path to Chaos Divine Kinghood was no less than becoming the first to reach the Tenth Heaven after the Great Mythical Destruction through one's own power. In terms of tribulations, it was even more severe.
Ye Chen still remembered the Golden Crow Great Emperor's solemn expression when deducing the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation and warning him about how to charge through the Divine King Realm: "The Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation is the most terrifying Divine King Tribulation in history. Even the supreme figures like the Emperors and Supreme Immortals of the past often only encountered the possibility of the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation in the late Divine King stage, having sufficient confidence to face it, yet it was still a nine-deaths-one-life situation. Even in history, there were such peerless figures who suffered the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation and perished, body and soul destroyed, ceasing to exist."
"Those individuals' cultivation had already reached the late Divine King level, yet they still encountered a life-threatening situation of nine deaths and one life. One can imagine the terror of the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation. But your encounter will be even more severe because you cultivate the Chaos Great Dao and possess the Chaos Sacred Body. It is destined that your first Divine King Tribulation will inevitably be the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation. This is the obstruction from Heaven against Chaos cultivators; it cannot be avoided."
"The Immortal Pond in the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum is your only chance. The Immortal Pond contains the blood of supreme figures like Emperors and Supreme Immortals, their flesh and blood essence, and even immeasurable Emperor Laws. It can counteract and offset a portion of the Divine King Tribulation for you, giving you greater hope to face the most terrifying Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation."
Even the Golden Crow Great Emperor was so solemn about the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation. No matter how strong Ye Chen was, in terms of combat power, he was only one step above his peers like the Emperor's Sons, Emperor's Daughters, Immortal Dao Progeny, and the strongest young supremes. He could not be much stronger and could hardly face the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation alone.
As for the Great Emperor's reincarnation body?
It could withstand physical attacks, but the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation was said to be extraordinary, with terrifying attacks originating from the soul. This was a calamity Ye Chen could not avoid no matter what.
Therefore, for Ye Chen to become a Divine King, he must enter the Immortal Pond no matter what, relying on this Immortal Pond that transcended the myriad Daos to help him survive the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation to the greatest extent possible.
This was also the most feasible method the Golden Crow Great Emperor deduced for Ye Chen to successfully become a Chaos Divine King.
As for other methods, there was too little hope, unless Ye Chen had the courage to not undergo the nine Divine King Tribulations and directly achieve Ancient Monarchhood.
But was that possible?
Not only would it require accumulating vast amounts of divine power for the breakthrough, but the Chaos Small Universe would also need a great leap forward in breakthrough. Ye Chen's Chaos Sacred Body could not withstand it either.
Ultimately, for now, there was only this one feasible path.
"To become a Divine King, only the Immortal Pond!" This was the Golden Crow Great Emperor's advice.
