"Fellow Daoist."
The Crimson Scale Giant Dragon nodded towards the Sun Sovereign, then looked at the Mystic Dao Elder, before finally turning its gaze to Ye Chen, revealing a trace of admiration. "Young friend, you truly are a stunningly brilliant talent, having broken the shackles that prevented a Great Perfection Supreme Genius from undergoing the tenth tribulation. The future Chaos is yours to prove the Dao."
"Senior, you flatter me. This junior merely got lucky," Ye Chen replied modestly. "Senior, this is something entrusted to me by Senior Chi Xue Monarch, a Deputy Hall Master of the Ten Heavenly Emperor Halls. He said it might give you hope of breaking free from this state and leaving the Dragon Tomb world."
As he spoke, a ball of radiant light appeared in his hand, within which Origin Dragon Blood floated, exuding wisps of primal dragon majesty.
The moment the primal dragon majesty began to overflow, the entire Dragon Tomb world visibly trembled.
The towering dragon tombs that reached into the clouds also shook, drawn by the aura of the primal dragon majesty.
"Origin Dragon Blood!"
Staring at the Origin Dragon Blood in Ye Chen's hand, the Crimson Scale Giant Dragon's massive eyes suddenly erupted with terrifying radiance. An intense pressure slowly emanated from its body, causing the entire Dragon Tomb world to tremble once more.
"And it's the Origin Dragon Blood of the Crimson Blood Dragon Emperor."
It could fully sense the special nature of this Origin Dragon Blood—it shared the same origin, being the Origin Dragon Blood of the Crimson Blood Dragon Emperor, and was at the level of an Ancient Sovereign or higher.
Ye Chen nodded. "Senior Chi Xue Monarch said it was left for you by the Crimson Blood Dragon Emperor."
With a wave of his hand, the Origin Dragon Blood shot through the air, arriving before the Crimson Scale Giant Dragon.
After gazing at the ball of Origin Dragon Blood for a long moment, the Crimson Scale Giant Dragon finally opened its abyss-like maw and swallowed it. A low voice followed: "Thank you, young friend."
"Senior, you are too kind. This is what this junior should do. We will not disturb your refinement of the Origin Dragon Blood. We hope to see you soon, free from your shackles and soaring across the vast heavens and earth."
As Ye Chen and the others departed, they heard the Crimson Scale Giant Dragon's response: "If the human race encounters trouble, you may call upon me. I can intervene."
This was the Crimson Scale Giant Dragon's promise. After that, there was no further reply, and the dragon tomb closed.
Clearly, the Crimson Scale Giant Dragon had begun refining the Crimson Blood Dragon Emperor's Origin Dragon Blood to transcend.
After leaving the Dragon Tomb world, the group still did not immediately return to the Human Emperor World.
The Sun Sovereign had the Great Wall return to the Emperor World to stand guard, while he himself, holding the Qiankun Bagua Mirror of the Supreme Saint Emperor, led Ye Chen and the Mystic Dao Elder across the skies.
They finally left the Second Heaven Ancient Domain, traversed the vast and boundless Primordial Divine Sea, and arrived at the First Heaven Ancient Domain—the Primordial Ancient Domain, legendary for the outbreak of the Dark Blood Era.
"You two stay here. I will venture into the depths of the Primordial Ancient Domain," the Sun Sovereign said, leaving the two behind as he crossed the skies and entered the Primordial Ancient Domain, the deepest part of the vast uninhabited zone.
Deep within resided the Heavenly Eyes Divine Sovereign, an Eternal Supreme.
Ye Chen and the Mystic Dao Elder strained to peer into the deepest reaches, faintly sensing terrifying auras within the Primordial Ancient Domain that seemed capable of tearing heaven and earth asunder. Many of these auras were even stronger than Ye Chen and the Mystic Dao Elder.
They were clearly terrifying great evils at the Ancient Sovereign level.
Some among them might even be the terrifying existences that had caused the Dark Blood Era.
Silently, Ye Chen saw a figure barring the Sun Sovereign's path. Its aura was peerless, with white hair flowing loosely. It was none other than the Myth Emperor, the supreme overlord who had once shaken the Myth Emperor Domain!
He appeared expressionless, blocking the Sun Sovereign. The Monarch's aura shook the ancient and modern eras; even the present Sun Sovereign was somewhat inferior.
But after all, he was a peerless Monarch of his generation, second only to the Sovereign of Formlessness, and had not regressed in the slightest.
The Sun Sovereign held a jade token bearing the aura of the Sovereign of Formlessness and went to request an audience with the Heavenly Eyes Divine Sovereign.
Finally, the Myth Emperor no longer blocked him. The Sun Sovereign entered the deepest part of the uninhabited zone, disappearing into the mist.
Half a day later, the Sun Sovereign reappeared, crossing the skies to return to Ye Chen and the others.
Seeing the astonishment on Ye Chen and the Mystic Dao Elder's faces, the Sun Sovereign smiled faintly. "Do not worry. The Sovereign of Formlessness came here in the past. This time, I came bearing his token to request some matters from the Heavenly Eyes Divine Sovereign. Although I did not wish to use this favor, for the sake of certainty, it is better to leave a backup plan."
Ye Chen nodded.
The Sun Sovereign would not have come here to do something useless.
Half a day later, the three of them completely returned to the Human Emperor World.
The Human Emperor World rejoiced. They had heard of Ye Chen's reputation abroad and learned of his current heaven-defying combat power. His safe return was a great blessing for all humans.
More importantly, he had also brought back the Mystic Dao Elder, such a heaven-defying Quasi-Monarch.
With his presence, even if Ancient Sovereigns could not intervene, the Mystic Dao Elder alone could briefly delay two heaven-defying Quasi-Monarchs like the Haotian War God and the Blood Empress.
With someone capable of blocking two heaven-defying Quasi-Monarchs, even facing a true great war, the human race's situation would not be as difficult.
However, Ye Chen did not feel much joy, because the great war was drawing closer day by day. Perhaps only a few days remained.
Outside, the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain was already filled with a tense pre-war atmosphere, far more intense than before.
They also received many reports: various Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans were summoning their many powerhouses back, and numerous war vessels were gradually appearing, beginning to assemble.
Ye Chen's figure flickered, appearing at the former site of the Canglan Divine Sea.
Qin Wu was clearly here, releasing his vast Martial Dao World day after day, continuously suppressing the six Quasi-Monarchs, including Ghost Fiend, preventing them from leaving.
"Senior," Ye Chen clasped his fists.
"You have finally defied heaven and returned safely. I am very happy," Qin Wu said. He was usually a very steady person, often serious and unsmiling, but seeing Ye Chen's return, he rarely showed a hint of a smile.
"Thanks to your blessings, Senior," Ye Chen smiled, then looked at the six Quasi-Monarch figures within the Martial Dao World, his gaze especially settling on Ghost Fiend Quasi-Monarch.
Back then, he had been hunted down by this Ghost Fiend Quasi-Monarch and was in quite a sorry state.
Qin Wu raised an eyebrow. "Do you wish to take action?"
Ye Chen nodded, pointing at Ghost Fiend. "Senior, I have old grievances with this Ghost Fiend. May I take action? I want to settle things with him."
A gentleman takes revenge after ten years.
Ye Chen takes revenge immediately!
He was no gentleman. With such a good opportunity, how could he not act? It would also be a chance to weaken the peak-level power of the various Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans.
