Finally, they had seen the legendary Ancient Divine King.
That was a legendary existence even Great Powers found difficult to meet.
This Ancient Divine King appeared no different from an ordinary person, even his Dao might was restrained and concealed within his body. Yet, the majesty that could suppress all the myriad Daos of the world made everyone present feel a sense of submission and powerlessness to resist.
It was as if he was not a person, but the lofty Heavenly Dao itself, the sole existence presiding over the world's vicissitudes.
This was an Ancient Divine King. Even a Great Power could not give them this feeling of insignificance, of looking up from below.
Gu Xuan's face was filled with yearning. "Divine King... this is an Ancient Divine King, a supreme existence that surpasses Great Powers, a truly peerless figure who can preside over the world's rise and fall."
"If Great Powers are the Divine Spirits between heaven and earth, then Divine Kings are the Kings of Divine Spirits, the Kings of All Gods, standing above Great Powers, truly holding the fate of all living beings in their hands."
"If one day, I too could achieve the Ancient Divine King realm, I wonder how magnificent that would be."
They saw the Ancient Divine King moving with a dragon's stride and a tiger's pace. Amidst his conversation and laughter, Great Powers surrounded him, his majesty no longer fully restrained. His bearing was such that anyone in the world would yearn for it.
Nangong Xue's eyes shimmered with a strange light. Today, she had finally seen an Ancient Divine King, witnessed his majesty, transcending the mundane, something Great Powers could not even compare to.
Beside her, the four supreme talents, Ren Jing, Ziguang Tian, and the others, were also deeply captivated. That level was something they all yearned for.
But they also knew how difficult, nearly impossible, it was to achieve the Ancient Divine King realm.
The Nine Continents of the Weiyang Great World held countless living beings, innumerable supreme talents, yet Great Powers were not many. Looking across the entire Weiyang Great World, they could practically be counted.
As for Ancient Divine Kings, they were existences that had caused countless Great Powers throughout the ages to exhaust their entire lives striving to reach, yet ultimately failing.
In their entire lives, they could only look up in admiration.
"Divine King? Ridiculous. Truly ridiculous. The people of this illusory great world have truly never seen the wider world. A mere Divine King is considered the number one under heaven? They are nothing but slightly larger ants that this lord can annihilate with a raise of his hand."
Beside a Great Power Ancestor from an Immortal Holy Land outside the Weiyang Continent, a middle-aged man who appeared like a Heavenly King stood. This Great Power Ancestor even felt a trace of reverence for him, subtly retreating half a step.
Outwardly, he seemed like just a Heavenly King. Even if a Divine King's divine sense swept over him, they would think he was merely a Heavenly King. But within his body lay dormant a majestic power that could make a Divine King tremble in fear, even to the point of physical and spiritual annihilation.
Seeing this scene before him, he gave a contemptuous smile.
Beside him, the Great Power Ancestor shielded the nearby void and said respectfully, "Your Majesty is peerless and unparalleled, naturally you need not place Ancient Divine Kings in your eyes."
In the past, this Great Power Ancestor had also always believed Ancient Divine Kings were the supreme existences dominating the current era. If anyone dared tell him Divine Kings were nothing but ants, he would have severely taught that person a lesson.
After all, becoming a Divine King had always been his wish.
But ever since witnessing the level of power this man with eyes containing the vicissitudes of time truly commanded, his long-held worldview was easily shattered.
It was simply because this existence who called himself the Black Dragon Ancient Monarch had defeated him with a raise of his hand—an instant defeat.
And it was a completely crushing instant defeat!
Even when he used his most powerful divine abilities to amplify his combat power, it was the same.
A single finger sent him flying.
Moreover, there were existences at the Ancient Divine King level following him, and not just one. Everything about him displayed his heaven-defying nature.
The Black Dragon Ancient Monarch then swept his gaze over this Dou Heaven Hall, murmuring softly, "However, this so-called Peach Banquet has indeed attracted quite a few powerful experts from the two major camps. I can sense that there are no fewer than ten existences with auras above the Quasi-Monarch level."
"If we truly want to find clues about the Supreme One's legacy, we really need to search from this Doumen organization."
"But we need to wait a bit longer. If I act now, I might very well provoke others to act as well, which could become troublesome later."
At the same time, similar murmurs arose one after another within the Dou Heaven Hall.
After all, the two major camps had brought quite a few truly super-powerful experts.
And these super-powerful experts were all existences that truly surpassed Divine Kings.
Similarly, they also had their concerns, worried that once they acted, it would cause others to act as well, which would instead be disadvantageous for inquiring about information related to the Supreme One's legacy.
"As expected, an Ancient Monarch has really come. And it seems to be an Ancient Monarch from the Shengdi Domain camp. This is going to be interesting."
Ye Chen sensed an Ancient Monarch's aura quietly blooming within the Dou Heaven Hall, silently and without a trace. Even an Ancient Divine King would find it difficult to detect, but it couldn't hide from him, an Eternal Quasi-Monarch.
However, he did not act, not wanting to startle the snake too early.
Naturally, he looked down on Divine Kings. But seeing his little junior sister Ning'er also wide-eyed and full of admiration for the Divine King, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile and ask, "Ning'er, do you also wish to become a Divine King?"
"Mhm!" Ning'er nodded heavily. "Ning'er also hopes to become a Divine King one day."
"What a pity—" Ye Chen sighed. If this weren't an illusory world, with his current abilities, he could absolutely help Ning'er achieve the Divine King position.
Silently, he released the Star Sky Quasi-Monarch.
The Star Sky Quasi-Monarch had always been in the Extinction Emperor Realm. Later, before entering the Four Great Emperor Relic Lands, he was transferred into Ye Chen's Primordial Universe. There were also quite a few other Quasi-Monarchs, Divine Kings, etc., all ready for the main body to use at any time.
The Star Sky Quasi-Monarch was a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, but his true appearance was very ordinary—an average middle-aged man wearing a Daoist robe, his Dao might completely restrained, so no one could detect his terrifying power.
Moreover, Ye Chen had directly used Chaos secret techniques to conceal his true cultivation and aura.
He came to Ye Chen's side and said respectfully, "Master."
Ye Chen nodded slightly. "From now on, you will protect Ning'er and be at her disposal."
The Star Sky Quasi-Monarch, enslaved by soul, dared not resist in the slightest. "Yes, Master."
Earlier, it had just been mental transmission. Now, the Star Sky Quasi-Monarch appeared, startling the few people nearby.
Ye Chen pointed at the Star Sky Quasi-Monarch and smiled at Ning'er. "Big Brother can't make you a Divine King, but there is someone even more powerful than a Divine King. This uncle here is one, far more formidable than a Divine King."
Ning'er's face was full of yearning as she looked curiously at the Star Sky Quasi-Monarch. "Uncle, is what Big Brother said true?"
The Star Sky Quasi-Monarch also felt a surge of affection for this innocent and naive young girl. "Young Miss, you just need to say the word. Even if you ask me to kill an Ancient Divine King, I can do it immediately."
His words were spoken lightly, as if killing an Ancient Divine King was an effortless matter, causing Gu Xuan, Nangong Xue, and the others to frown.
Another arrogant braggart.
Indeed, like master, like servant.
