"Interesting. So none of these Divine Kings were born in this era. They are all Divine Kings from other times throughout history, yet they all chose to appear in the same era. That alone is worth pondering."
Everyone present was immensely powerful and quickly discerned the truth.
That being said, the fact that the Yihuang Ancient Star could continuously give birth to one Divine King after another throughout the ages was enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of this ancient life star, making it worthy of exploration by Ye Chen and the others.
Their divine senses continued to sweep across the area, hoping to discover a corresponding teleportation formation that could traverse the starry sky, but they found nothing.
"Could it be that this star has no teleportation formations?" Will asked in surprise.
Ye Chen shook his head. "This is the final trial for the most powerful young generation of the Chaos Sea. Naturally, it wouldn't be that simple. Perhaps it was deliberately arranged by the Supreme One. We can ask the strongest native of this star to understand the situation."
"Alright!"
The others also nodded and descended upon the Yihuang Ancient Star!
The Yihuang Ancient Star had five strongest forces, each founded by a Divine King and presided over by a Divine King of that generation, dividing the star into five major domains.
The most powerful was the Aotian Divine Dynasty, which occupied the central lands. The Divine King who founded this divine dynasty was also the strongest among the five Divine Kings.
The group traversed the vast sky and directly arrived at the divine dynasty palace of the Aotian Divine Dynasty, the strongest force on the Yihuang Ancient Star. They silently bypassed numerous obstacles that the Aotian Divine Dynasty considered impregnable fortresses and entered the deepest part.
That was the most important place of the Aotian Divine Dynasty, and also the passageway to another heaven and earth.
The founder of the Aotian Divine Dynasty—the Divine King—cultivated within this heaven and earth.
An extremely magnificent and towering Immortal Divine Hall spanned the center of this heaven and earth, swallowing billions of rays of light, stirring the laws of the Great Dao, like the master of the Great Dao descending upon the mortal world.
Outside the divine hall, a full eighteen Great Powers stood guard, and countless believers, numbering in the billions, were prostrating in worship. At all times, they generated endless Faith Power.
A continuous stream of Faith Power gathered from all directions and poured into this Immortal Divine Hall, transforming into a brilliant and flourishing ocean of Faith Power.
Vaguely, one could see a deity, ten thousand miles tall, seated within the divine hall, resembling a supreme Great Emperor revered by all heavens, peerlessly majestic, swallowing endless Faith Power.
The entire figure shone brilliantly, shooting forth billions of radiant rays, which sprayed back to nourish all living beings, allowing the billions of prostrating worshippers to receive a form of feedback.
Many ordinary people were cured of all ailments, and some even advanced in their cultivation, weeping with joy.
All of this made the billions of living beings within this Essence Inner World prostrate themselves even more devoutly before the Divine King within the Immortal Divine Hall.
"To have developed Faith Power to this extent is quite impressive, comparable to many supreme holy lands, perhaps even stronger. Even the ancient Gulan Sacred Sect of the past paled in comparison." Ye Chen smiled. Now, he had developed the Chaos Holy Realm as a land of faith, and his understanding of Faith Power was countless times deeper than before. Naturally, he saw through everything here at a glance.
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor also nodded. "Using endless Faith Power to forge one's body can accelerate the improvement of strength. Although this path seems to rely on external forces, it's not entirely unfeasible. In past epochal eras, there were rumors of a Supreme One attaining the Supreme One fruit through the path of faith."
"However, this path is much more difficult than imagined. Throughout history, it seems only that one Supreme One succeeded."
Beside them, Di Wuming said, "As the strongest on the Yihuang Ancient Star, he should know some real clues about reaching the other shore."
"Who is it?"
Suddenly, the supreme Divine King residing within the Immortal Divine Hall spoke.
He opened his eyes, releasing astonishing beams of light that made the billions of living beings outside the divine hall feel an irresistible supreme majesty. They all knelt down, their hearts filled with reverence.
The supreme Divine King was the master of this Essence Inner World. He sensed something and, with his Faith Power being sufficiently strong and flourishing, detected a sudden intrusion.
Outside the divine hall, the eighteen Great Powers, though momentarily subdued by the majesty suddenly released by the supreme Divine King, quickly reacted. They all stood up, releasing the powerful oppressive might of Great Powers, looking towards the unknown void and shouting, "Who is it? How dare you trespass upon our Aotian Imperial Hall!"
"Oh? You can actually detect our presence. Not bad."
Whoosh—
The void twisted, and a group of people appeared, only about a dozen.
What made everyone slightly stunned was that these people were all very young, carrying the unique vitality of the younger generation.
However, the dozen or so Great Powers frowned, sensing that these young people were extraordinary. They remained so calm and composed in the face of the oppressive might they released—something that, across the entire Yihuang Ancient Star, only a handful of the most outstanding Heaven's Prides could achieve.
But those few were truly accomplished Great Powers. Could these young people before them be the same?
Yet those few were renowned across the entire Yihuang Ancient Star, known to everyone.
The young people before them all had unfamiliar faces.
If they were all young Great Powers, it would be impossible for them not to know.
"Imperial Hall?" One of the young men, who appeared quite arrogant, sneered. "A mere divine hall founded by a Divine King dares to call itself an Imperial Hall? Aren't you afraid of death?"
The other young men and women also nodded slightly.
An Imperial Hall was something only an ancient Great Emperor was qualified to establish. Otherwise, who in the world would dare to establish an Imperial Hall? It would be like incurring a tremendous karmic burden, something few would dare to bear.
"Who are they? How dare they even offend our Aotian Imperial Hall!"
"The Imperial Hall is lofty and supreme, how can it be profaned by outsiders? We request the Venerable Ones to take action and execute these profaners!"
"We beseech the Venerable Ones to take action!"
Numerous believers outside the Immortal Divine Hall spoke up, requesting the eighteen Great Power-level Venerable Ones outside the Immortal Divine Hall to take action and execute the profaners.
"Seeking death! How dare you offend the majesty of the Imperial Hall!"
Outside the Immortal Divine Hall, a Great Power soared into the sky. A spear appeared in his hand and shot towards the arrogant young man who had spoken, carrying the power to shatter stars, enough to annihilate a celestial body.
However, facing this seemingly world-destroying strike, the arrogant young man merely revealed a trace of a cold smile. He simply extended a finger and pointed. This finger descended, seemingly ordinary and plain, yet it completely blocked the war spear that possessed the power to shatter stars beyond the domain, preventing it from advancing further.
Witnessing this scene, the billions of living beings outside the Immortal Divine Hall were utterly horrified.
"Impossible! The strike of an Imperial Hall Venerable was actually blocked!"
"How is this possible? The Imperial Hall Venerables are lofty and supreme Transcendent Great Powers, capable of plucking stars with a raise of their hand, their might peerless."
"Who is that person? He looks very young, but even if the Young Master Aotian of our Aotian Divine Dynasty came, he probably couldn't so easily block a Great Power Venerable's star-shattering strike, could he?"
...
It was as if a bomb had gone off outside the Immortal Divine Hall. The billions of living beings were in an uproar, their shock utterly unrestrained.
The most powerful strike of a Great Power Venerable had been effortlessly received by the arrogant young man. This was absolutely a major event that would shake the entire star.
"Great Power Venerable?"
The arrogant young man chuckled. "Since you attacked me, I shall also make a move. Let's see if you can withstand it."
He made his move. He grabbed the war spear of that Great Power Venerable, flicked his finger, and the spear shot back towards the Great Power Venerable.
This spear shot back at an ordinary speed, not carrying any overwhelming might, as if it were a spear thrown by an innate-level expert—average speed, not even tearing the void.
However, facing this seemingly simple and plain spear, this Great Power Venerable felt a bone-chilling danger exploding in his heart. Almost instinctively, his hands formed seals, and layer upon layer of protective light shields, condensed from pure divine power and laws, rapidly manifested before him.
In just a few breaths, they numbered in the thousands and tens of thousands.
This shocked the other Great Power Venerables, because this was this Great Power Venerable's absolute defensive divine ability. Once unleashed, even the top experts among other Great Power Venerables, such as super Great Powers, would need to expend considerable effort to break through.
Facing this plain and simple spear, he actually used his strongest defensive divine ability?
Was he insane?
However, the next moment, all the Great Power Venerables changed their expressions and understood why he had used his strongest defensive divine ability.
Because when this spear met the thousands upon thousands of defensive light shields, it was visibly seen that layer after layer of seemingly brilliant and sturdy defensive light shields, shimmering with runic light, were now as fragile as paper, being crushed and destroyed with overwhelming force, appearing utterly vulnerable.
In almost the blink of an eye, that spear easily pierced through all the defensive light shields and appeared before the Great Power Venerable.
A terrifying aura completely enveloped the Great Power Venerable, making his entire body difficult to move. Even the Great Power divine power within him was suppressed, unable to circulate in the slightest. His expression held only absolute terror, and only his soul let out a shrill cry for help: "Great Emperor, please save me!"
Boom—
At the critical moment, the Divine King within the Immortal Divine Hall suddenly opened his eyes, shooting forth astonishing beams of light that materialized like two terrifying heavenly swords.
The two beams of light, like heavenly swords, collided with that spear, exploding with brilliant light. Terrifying Divine King Great Dao origin and intent intertwined and manifested, permeating with power that could turn a Great Power to ashes.
But everything was completely suppressed, not harming that Great Power Venerable.
Yet the spear still hadn't been stopped. It remained locked onto that Great Power Venerable, relentlessly pursuing him as if it would not stop until he was dead.
"Hmm? Some skill."
Boom—
The Divine King within the Immortal Divine Hall suddenly moved. A cold snort exploded, resounding across the sky of the entire Yihuang Ancient Star, as if the master of heaven and earth had awakened, stirred, about to unleash endless wrath.
At the same time, a vast, boundless hand reached out from the divine hall, carrying overwhelming power of the Great Dao laws, accompanied by threads of Divine King majesty, far surpassing that of a Great Power by an immeasurable degree. It grabbed towards that spear.
Moreover, it enlarged in one motion, grabbing towards those young geniuses.
"Great Emperor Aotian is about to unleash his wrath!"
"Although those young geniuses seem powerful, they cannot possibly be a match for the supreme Great Emperor!"
"Once the supreme Great Emperor makes a move, he will surely annihilate these unfamiliar young geniuses in an instant!"
...
The billions of living beings outside the Immortal Divine Hall all shook their heads. They absolutely believed in the strength of the supreme Great Emperor within the Immortal Divine Hall. Although these suddenly appearing unfamiliar young geniuses were powerful, they did not believe they could contend with the supreme Great Emperor.
The supreme Great Emperor's invincibility throughout the world was a fact acknowledged by the entire Yihuang Ancient Star.
Boom—
That spear suddenly erupted with a terrifying divine might that actually surpassed that of a Great Power, carrying threads of Divine King oppressive might.
"Divine King!?"
"Could he also be a Divine King? Impossible, at most he's a half-step Divine King!"
Numerous Great Power Venerables changed their expressions. That divine might indeed surpassed that of a Great Power, yet it wasn't that of a true Divine King.
"Hmm?"
A sound of slight surprise came from within the Immortal Divine Hall of the Aotian Divine Dynasty. The Divine King seemed astonished that the arrogant young man was also a supreme expert surpassing a Great Power. However, the vast, boundless hand didn't slow in the slightest. Between its fingers and palm, a power of Divine King Great Dao origin manifested, pressing down to pacify the spear.
"A Divine King Dao Weapon?"
The Great Emperor Divine King of the Aotian Divine Dynasty was startled, discovering that this spear was actually a Divine King Dao Weapon, and its material was quite extraordinary. He revealed a look of pleasant surprise.
He never expected a junior to possess such a Divine King war spear. Although he didn't recognize them, he knew the vastness of heaven and earth, that the universe and starry sky did not consist solely of the Yihuang Ancient Star as a life star; there were other ancient life lands.
These young geniuses before him might be peerless Heaven's Prides who emerged from other ancient life lands. Perhaps they had received Divine King inheritances behind them; otherwise, how could they possess a Divine King Dao Weapon?
Thinking this, the Great Emperor Divine King within the Immortal Divine Hall revealed a trace of greed. If he could obtain the Divine King inheritances on these young geniuses, he might be able to advance further, becoming a Divine King of a higher level, even stepping into the legendary realm of the Ancient Monarchs who dominated the entire starry sky.
Boom—
The might of the vast, boundless hand suddenly increased, giving rise to numerous Divine King laws and powers that swept across the sky and earth towards those young geniuses.
"A mere Five Tribulations Divine King dares to call himself a Great Emperor? Truly someone from a closed-off starry sky, not fit for the grand stage. Today, this Imperial Son will let you understand what it means that there is always a higher heaven and a stronger man, that not just anyone is qualified to be called a Great Emperor, not even a Divine King!"
"Listen well, this Imperial Son is named Shen Rong!"
The arrogant young man and the others were naturally the human race's various Heaven's Prides. Shen Rong was this person. With a light shout, his voice suddenly exploded like a thunderclap from antiquity above this Divine King Essence Inner World.
As these words were spoken, the billions of living beings within this Essence Inner World clearly felt an extremely terrifying majesty descend from the sky, even surpassing that of the Great Emperor Divine King within the Immortal Divine Hall. It carried a vast, boundless, and majestic oppressive might, surging grandly.
In an instant, his figure appeared so tall and peerless. He also extended a large hand, carrying an absolutely domineering might, and collided with the vast, boundless hand of the Great Emperor Divine King.
