Ye Chen had achieved the Divine King realm, but could only do so within the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
This time, he had many tasks to accomplish, feeling that this journey would be extremely difficult.
"You may contend for the Sovereign's legacy inheritance, we will not interfere. However, you must not vie for the position of Heavenly Emperor's disciple. He is very likely a supreme existence from the Chaos Burial Ground. Once you become his disciple, our identities might be exposed, leading to terrifying consequences that would implicate the entire human race. Therefore, you must all remember this well!"
Before departing, the Divine King ancient ancestor of the Qin family spoke up, issuing a warning. His voice was not loud, yet it enlightened the numerous Heaven's Pride prodigies, making them fully realize how severe the consequences would be—it could bring about the calamity of extermination for the entire human race, unpredictable and dire.
"Understood!"
"Please rest assured, Senior, we will absolutely not pursue the position of Heavenly Emperor's disciple!"
Numerous Heaven's Pride prodigies patted their chests in assurance.
The various human Divine Kings nodded in satisfaction. This was very good.
"Good. If you have the opportunity this time, take the chance to temper yourselves more and become stronger. If you can break through the shackles and become the Strongest Young Supreme, comparable to Emperor Sons and Daughters or Immortal Dao Descendants, we would be very pleased and would spare no effort in nurturing you." The Divine Kings also made grand promises, for only the Strongest Young Supreme would have the qualification to aspire to the Emperor rank.
If the Sealed Universe could produce a few more Ancient Great Emperors or Supreme Ancient Sovereigns in the future, they would be overjoyed, holding more hope for the blood-stained future.
The numerous Heaven's Pride prodigies were naturally ecstatic, yearning even more to become the Strongest Young Supreme.
"Let's go!"
"Fellow Daoists, we bid farewell here!"
"For the journey to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, please be careful, everyone. Do not be discovered!"
Thus, the group separated. The side from the Radiant Emperor Domain was led by Ye Chen, with A Beinu, Yu Qing, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, and Shan Ji following by his side, along with his eight Supreme Genius subordinates and numerous Heaven's Pride prodigies. There were also the four Divine Kings, Tianya and Qinghuang Divine King among them. Over the years in the Golden Crow Emperor Realm, they had indeed achieved significant improvement.
However, such a large group, with at least Great Powers and even Divine King figures, would attract attention wherever they went. Therefore, Ye Chen decided to divide the group again, splitting into several parts to integrate into the Heavenly Emperor Realm separately. This would undoubtedly minimize the risks to the greatest extent.
Ye Chen spoke, and the others did not refuse. Nowadays, he subtly possessed the authority and qualifications of a leader among the younger generation of the human race. Few would refuse, and all followed his commands.
"Everyone, the Heavenly Emperor Realm is vast. Moreover, it is currently the time when the Heavenly Emperor is recruiting personal disciples. Countless Heaven's Pride prodigies are emerging, and perhaps even the Strongest Young Supreme will appear. I am not sure if other Emperor Sons and Daughters or Immortal Dao Descendants will contend, but you can attempt to compete. Not for the position of Heavenly Emperor's disciple, but to temper yourselves. This is an excellent opportunity."
"A true powerhouse can only be forged through countless trials."
"If you wish to become the Strongest Young Supreme, you must continuously undergo countless trials, strive amidst fierce competition, and constantly contend with the prodigies of the myriad realms. Even seize possible opportunities to clash with Emperor Sons and Daughters or Immortal Dao Descendants, feel their strength, and gain enlightenment in life-and-death battles. Only then will you have a sliver of a chance."
"Once you step into the realm of the Strongest Young Supreme and complete all ten heavenly layers of the great realms, that is precisely when you can gaze toward the Emperor rank."
"If possible, I hope that when we meet again, you will have become Strongest Young Supremes like us, taking strides forward, charging toward the Emperor rank, achieving the supreme status of Supreme One, standing proudly above past and present, looking toward the future, and resisting the most evil alien races!"
Ye Chen's words were inspiring. Who wouldn't wish to become an existence as renowned as him, the Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, or the Strongest Young Supreme?
Who wouldn't aspire to achieve the Emperor rank, overlook the ages, gaze into the future, sweep away the humiliation among the alien races, and annihilate the eternal great enemies!
In the heat of youthful passion, they were most easily influenced, especially when Ye Chen, the contemporary leader of the human race's younger generation, spoke. His influence was immense, stirring the blood of anyone who heard him, making it hard to resist.
"Good!"
"We shall strive amidst fierce competition, advance courageously, and achieve the status of Strongest Supreme One!"
"When we meet again, we will surely not disappoint the Battle Saint King!"
"When we meet again, we shall be those who are called Supreme Ones!"
Behind him, the numerous Heaven's Pride prodigies of the Radiant Emperor Domain roared with hot-blooded passion, their voices shaking heaven and earth, drawing attention.
Even the five subdued Divine Kings and the four Divine Kings of the Radiant Emperor Domain seemed infected. The blood energy within their bodies also seemed to boil, stirred with excitement.
"The Battle Saint King's words have even stirred me up," Tianya Divine King sighed. He appeared to be a very young Divine King, but his actual age was considerable, older than many Great Powers. In the end, he could only utter a faint sigh of helplessness, saying, "What a pity, I am already old. Otherwise, I might have had some chance to complete all the great realms and achieve the ten heavenly layers' perfection!"
The other Divine Kings also sighed inwardly. Although they all appeared elderly, they had basically surpassed the hundred-thousand-year lifespan of Great Powers. Each could be called an old monster, long since lacking the vigor of their youth.
Seeing these Heaven's Pride prodigies reminded them of their own flourishing youth.
What a pity, they were no longer young!
Ye Chen heard this and looked at the nine Divine Kings, smiling as he said, "You all overstate the matter. On the path of cultivation, youth is indeed an asset, but old age does not necessarily mean impossibility. It can even be a capital that the younger generation lacks—understanding more, comprehending the mortal world more."
"You must know that throughout history, not all Emperors or Supreme Immortals achieved the Supreme One fruit in the peak of their youthful blood energy. For example, the Myriad Transformation Ancient Immortal from the Primordial Immortal Realm defied the heavens in his old age and declining body, wresting life from the heavens, defeated the peerless Sovereign Emperor who was young and at the peak of his blood energy at the time, and achieved the Supreme Immortal rank."
"There are also those who defied the heavens to live a second life before achieving the Supreme One fruit."
"And some who were unsuccessful in their youth, suffering repeated defeats, yet in their old age and declining bodies, suddenly attained enlightenment, saw through illusions, swept through the peerless enemies of the myriad realms, and became a generation's Ancient Emperor!"
"Therefore, achieving the Supreme One status, although youthful vigor holds great advantage, is not absolute. As long as you harbor an invincible Dao Heart and advance courageously, one day, it is not impossible to prove the Dao and become an Emperor!"
Undoubtedly, these words were highly inspiring, touching the hearts of the nine Divine Kings.
They were all very old, no longer possessing the vigor of the younger generation. They had long ceased to hope for charging toward the Emperor rank or Supreme Immortal, believing it impossible. Their Dao Hearts also seemed aged, flawed.
But today, hearing Ye Chen's words, they rekindled new hope, feeling that these words were correct. As long as the Dao Heart was firm and they advanced courageously, even in extreme old age, there was hope to achieve the Supreme One status.
Moreover, although they were old, their lifespans were still ample, their blood energy still at its peak. They still had considerable hope to charge toward the supreme Supreme One fruit. What was there to fear?
