The Emperor's Throne rested before him, yet Ye Chen remained somewhat dazed.
Had he really obtained a Supreme One's inheritance so easily?
It had been surprisingly straightforward, to the point where it still felt like a dream.
Yet it was so real!
"Young friend, I know you carry the Great Dao inheritance of the Battle Saint lineage and possess multiple Supreme inheritances. Perhaps you might not even value my Supreme inheritance. But I hope that one day, you can treat my Supreme inheritance as you would that of the Lawless Supreme, and pass it on to a suitable person."
"At the very least, let my legacy not be severed from this world."
The Ancient Emperor's attitude suddenly softened, and he showed a trace of reluctance toward the Emperor's Throne.
After all, his continued existence, his unextinguished obsession, was precisely because of this Supreme inheritance.
Ye Chen performed a solemn, respectful bow. "Senior, please rest assured. This junior will certainly live up to your expectations!"
"Good. Since you have given your word, I am at ease. Hahahaha—"
The Ancient Emperor laughed heartily. His majestic Supreme Emperor form gradually grew illusory, then faded away.
Finally, he vanished completely, leaving only his voice echoing in Ye Chen's ears: "I shall go and exert my final ounce of strength."
"Young friend, remember this: my name is the Nine Yin Supreme."
"You may inform Asura and Tonggu that the matter is settled. They may leave and forge their own paths in life. Thank them on my behalf for their unwavering loyalty."
"As for that peerless treasure, young friend, once you refine the Emperor's Throne, you will learn its true whereabouts."
The lingering echoes did not cease for a long time.
Ye Chen remained in his bow for a long while before finally straightening up.
He gazed at the incomparable Emperor's Throne before him, where the sun seemed to sink and nine great moons cycled, evolving lunar phases. Countless Emperor Dao runes adorned it, bearing the marks of countless eons, representing the Great Dao inheritance of an Ancient Emperor Supreme.
With a light exhalation, Chaos Dao Fire enveloped the Emperor's Throne.
The process was smooth. He directly refined the Emperor's Throne and obtained the Supreme inheritance of the Nine Yin Supreme. A flood of information surged into his mind.
The Primordial Divine Hall was precisely the Imperial Hall of the Nine Yin Supreme, also known as the Nine Yin Imperial Hall.
Although the nine great continents of the Weiyang Great World all contained the character "Yang" in their names—such as Weiyang Continent, Tianyang Continent, and so on—the Ancient World's Supreme One was actually the Nine Yin Supreme. The purpose of the naming was to confuse those seeking the Supreme inheritance.
Moreover, he obtained an extremely important piece of information.
The true identity of the peerless treasure—
An Origin Sacred Artifact!
And not just any, but one of the Eight Great Chaos Origins: the Chaos Water Origin.
More importantly, there was no need for guidance from the four Supreme inheritances. Its true storage location was right within the Nine Yin Supreme's Emperor's Throne.
Back in the day, the Nine Yin Supreme had relied on the Chaos Water Origin to prove his Dao and become an Emperor, even reaching the peak Supreme level, not inferior to the Flame Emperor or the Lawless Supreme of that era.
They were all considered Quasi-Giant level existences.
However, when the Nine Yin Supreme was preparing to ascend to the rank of the strongest Emperor, he suffered a deviation and nearly perished, body and Dao destroyed. The Supreme One of the Saint Prison Great World learned of this by chance and seized the opportunity to steal the Chaos Water Origin.
Severely wounded and on the brink of death back then, the Nine Yin Supreme failed to reclaim it. Once he had barely recovered more than half of his injuries, he immediately set out for the Saint Prison Great World to retrieve it.
At the same time, the Lawless Supreme and the Tianxu Supreme also went to contend for it. A great battle erupted among the four Supreme Ones.
In the end, although the Nine Yin Supreme reclaimed the Chaos Water Origin, his grievous wounds, compounded by the recurrence of old injuries, led directly to his fall.
A pity! A Quasi-Giant level supreme existence, once the equal of the Flame Emperor, perished because of this.
Speaking of which, the Lawless Supreme of that era was also a Quasi-Giant level existence. Unfortunately, at the very moment he was about to succeed, the Primogenitor personally intervened to assassinate him, leading to his helpless demise.
"I originally thought I would need to keep searching, but just as one loses hope, a new path appears. Obtaining it required no effort at all."
Ye Chen also smiled. After refining the Emperor's Throne, he could naturally open the space concealed within it.
A passageway appeared inside, constructed from Emperor Dao runes, leading to a mysterious unknown place.
He stepped into the passage and advanced swiftly.
There were no obstructions along the way, perhaps because he had refined the Emperor's Throne and was thus considered the Supreme inheritor of the Nine Yin Supreme.
Finally, he emerged in a mysterious realm filled with dawn light, sensing vast and boundless world power, layer upon layer, with faint traces of Supreme Emperor aura shimmering within.
World Origin!
Ye Chen immediately realized where the endpoint was. He hadn't expected the Emperor's Throne passage to lead directly to the World Origin of the Weiyang Great World.
Within it stood a majestic Emperor statue—none other than that of the Nine Yin Supreme.
Vast world power enveloped the statue, showing exceptional affinity. However, as Ye Chen approached, this world power scattered, forming a pathway.
Between the eyebrows of the Nine Yin Supreme's statue, a sapphire pearl flickered, seemingly containing boundless oceans, waves crashing against the heavens, capable of sweeping across the endless Chaos Sea.
Incomparable Water Great Dao power was deeply concealed within this pearl.
Ye Chen knew this was the legendary Chaos Water Origin.
*Hum—*
At this moment, the Chaos Thunder Origin, the Eternal Crown, and other Origin Sacred Artifacts within the space between his own eyebrows resonated. The Chaos Water Origin between the statue's eyebrows also trembled, emitting a joyful emotion as if it possessed sentience.
Ye Chen performed a respectful bow toward the Emperor statue, then stepped through the air, arriving before the Chaos Water Origin. He spoke softly, "Chaos Water Origin, come. Follow by my side, and I will allow you to radiate your true glory."
*Boom—*
The power of the Chaos Great Dao and the Eternal Quasi-Monarch erupted, his potential unimaginable, further encircled by the Chaos Thunder Origin and the Eternal Crown.
The Chaos Water Origin trembled slightly for a moment, then with a *whoosh*, detached from the Emperor statue and landed within the space between Ye Chen's eyebrows.
The Chaos Sacred Soul avatar enveloped the Chaos Water Origin. In this instant, he felt an unparalleled clarity regarding the Water Great Dao, his comprehension reaching its limit.
*Boom boom boom boom boom boom—*
Visible to the naked eye, before him, strands of Water Monarch Rules materialized and evolved out of thin air—hundreds, then thousands.
Finally, they reached a total of one thousand three hundred.
It was unimaginable that in just a brief moment, one thousand three hundred strands of Monarch Rule power had been derived.
But this was the Chaos Water Origin, and it indeed possessed such capability.
Of course, after deriving these one thousand three hundred Monarch Rules, growth ceased.
Perhaps this could be considered a gift from the Nine Yin Supreme to Ye Chen.
Combined with the Monarch Rules obtained from refining the Ten-Level Dao Stars over the past thirty years and those he had mastered previously, the total number of Monarch Rules he now commanded reached five thousand two hundred—more than those of an ordinary First Heaven Ancient Monarch.
Leaving the World Origin, he retraced his path and reappeared within the Primordial Imperial Hall.
Sitting upon the Emperor's Throne, radiant light shone in all directions. After refining the Emperor's Throne, he had also become the master of this Primordial Imperial Hall.
He had even become the master of the entire Weiyang Great World.
*Rumble—*
Countless auspicious colors illuminated the entire world. The entire Weiyang Great World trembled.
Everyone knew who had obtained the Supreme inheritance.
The Battle Saint King!
