Whoosh—
Ye Chen entered the Mysterious Great World. This was his first time entering it in this lifetime.
Vast and primordial—this was the overall appearance of the entire Mysterious Great World. It was inhabited by numerous races, though most were not particularly strong, with the demon race being predominant.
At the center of the Mysterious Great World, however, resided a portion of the Angel Race, guarded by a Great Power of the Angel Race. This figure had once met Ye Chen in his previous life, and now, taking advantage of the arrival of the Golden Age, had successfully broken through to the Divine King realm.
Ye Chen's appearance, making no attempt to conceal his arrival, naturally alarmed the Angel Race slumbering in the deepest part of the Mysterious Great World.
"Who is it?"
Deep within, all members of the Angel Race were startled. This was the lineage of the Monarch who had not perished in ancient times, having developed within the Mysterious Great World and passed down to the present day. Their numbers were not large; even though the imperial clan bloodline within them was thin, their innate life level surpassed that of ordinary humans, yet they still numbered less than a million.
However, their overall strength was quite considerable, in no way inferior to the dominant forces of the Desolate Realm like the Purple Sun Palace or the Heaven Azure Palace.
"Senior, it is I, Qian Yue of the Little Divine Realm."
Ye Chen directly sent a voice transmission.
Before long, several Angel Race powerhouses appeared before Ye Chen. The leader was precisely that Angel Race Great Power he had known in his previous life—perhaps he could be called the Angel Divine King.
By his side were five top-tier Angel Race experts, at the very least at the Great Power level, with one even reaching the Half-Step Divine King realm.
Moreover, they held in their hands special Saint Swords flowing with resplendent Holy Light, resembling angelic saint feathers. These were none other than the Angel Race's famous Heavenly Feather Saint Swords.
Legend had it that when the Angel God Emperor ascended to the Emperor realm, the topmost feather from each of his wings transformed, imbued with Supreme Emperor power. Later, the Angel God Emperor refined them into eighteen Heavenly Feather Saint Swords. Combined, they could rival a Supreme Emperor weapon.
That they each came bearing a Heavenly Feather Saint Sword showed the apprehension in their hearts.
"You are that little fellow from back then."
The leading Angel Divine King was both shocked and delighted, recognizing Ye Chen. That aura of origin could not be altered.
He was shocked by Ye Chen's strength, which gave him a sense of unfathomable depth. He was delighted because Ye Chen had contributed to the Sacred Sacrifice Monarch's act of knocking open the gate to the Upper Realm.
Now that Ye Chen had returned, did it not mean that token had been delivered to the Angel Imperial Clan?
Knowing what the Angel Divine King was thinking, Ye Chen spoke of the Angel Imperial Clan, mentioning that they had always existed through the ages. Upon learning of the fate of the Angel Race Monarch, they were deeply grieved, but regarding bringing them back, they expressed temporary inability.
Because the two realms could not be connected.
Ye Chen and the others had returned to the Lower Realm by borrowing the power of the Human Race's Supreme One. At that time, although the Angel Race very much wished to descend to the Lower Realm to find them, it was inconvenient due to the ongoing war across the Myriad Domains of the Heavens. However, they had entrusted Ye Chen to bring them back when he returned to the Upper Realm one day, so that the remains of the Angel Race Monarch could be laid to rest in the Angel Race's ancestral land and not be lost abroad.
The Angel Divine King and the others were both shocked and overjoyed—the Angel Imperial Clan had not forgotten them.
At this moment, Ye Chen directly stated his purpose. He had deduced that within the Monarch's Great World, a supreme great demon was sealed, and he suspected it had not perished.
"I understand!"
The Angel Divine King understood immediately and said to Ye Chen, "Come with me."
Whoosh—
He tore through the void and entered first, with the other Angel Race powerhouses following.
Ye Chen naturally entered as well.
Before long, after traversing layer upon layer of void, they arrived at the dwelling place of the Angel Race. An Ancient Kingdom had been established there, standing in the deepest part of the Mysterious Great World, occupying the most resource-rich central territory.
Numerous Angel Race members lived within the Ancient Kingdom, cultivating.
The group did not linger. They arrived at an Eternal Divine City—the ancient city of the Angel Race Monarch from that era, spanning across the sky. It resembled the Sky City of the Little Divine Realm but was far more magnificent and wondrous, still retaining the Monarch's majesty to this day.
Entering the Monarch's ancient city, they proceeded to the highest point where the Angel Monarch's divine temple stood. There, multiple Angel Race Heavenly Kings were stationed—clearly, tigers and dragons lay hidden. There was also a Great Power, startled by the group's arrival.
However, they did not stop them.
Entering the divine temple, the several supreme powerhouses of the Angel Race all wore expressions of reverence, not daring to be the slightest bit frivolous, as if fearing they might profane the temple's majesty.
Within the temple stood a colossal statue of an Angel Race deity, with eighteen wings on its back, flawless and perfect, faintly exuding a wisp of Monarch majesty, as if the true Angel Race Monarch stood here, before whom all races would bow their heads.
Needless to say, this was undoubtedly the original master of the Mysterious Great World, the Monarch of the Angel Race—Xiu Puluo Si!
He was a legendary Monarch of the Angel Race. It was said that Xiu Puluo Si had once held great hope of succeeding the Angel God Emperor to become another Ancient Great Emperor of the Angel Race.
The Angel Divine King and the several Great Powers chanted scriptures with great reverence. After a long while, the Angel Divine King said softly, "Monarch above, forgive our disturbance."
A faint ray of light flew from the Angel Divine King's brow and entered the brow of the Angel Monarch statue.
Hum—
Immediately, before Ye Chen, a gate of light appeared, encircled by Primordial Holy Light, supremely divine and sacred.
The Angel Divine King said gravely, "Little friend, please enter."
Ye Chen did not hesitate and stepped into the gate of light.
The other Angel Race powerhouses entered one after another.
The gate of light was a passage leading to a mysterious place unknown to anyone.
Unless one was a member of the Angel Race and possessed the corresponding method, outsiders simply could not enter.
Soon, Ye Chen's figure stabilized. Raising his eyes, he found he had arrived at a place of Void.
The Void was vast and boundless, impossible to see to the end at a glance. Nothing existed here, including the Great Dao and spiritual energy—only eternal cold and silence remained.
At the center of the Void, there actually existed a massive inner world, existing within the Monarch's Great World, forming a World Within World.
Within the Void, a heavenly sun hung—the origin of the Monarch's Great World, surging and rising. Yet all its radiance was restrained, transforming into thick, massive Great Dao Chains, thousands upon thousands of them, plunging into the World Within World below.
At this moment, when Ye Chen's gaze swept over, he suddenly discovered that within that World Within World, darkness was boundless, demonic energy surged to the heavens, filling the entire World Within World, transforming it into a demon world.
Naturally, the demonic energy was confined solely within the World Within World, unable to spread outward.
Because countless Great Dao Chains entwined the entire World Within World, releasing a majestic power. Holy Light surged, yet there was also a kind of supreme sacred force that suppressed all the demonic energy within the World Within World, preventing it from seeping into the outside world.
Faintly visible was an unimaginable ancient demon god figure lying prone within the World Within World. Compared to its colossal, incomparably huge body, even the Little Divine Realm seemed not much larger, and Ye Chen and the others were as insignificant as dust.
Even on its body were massive Great Dao Chains—these were formed from the numerous Great Dao Chains outside intertwining into even larger Great Dao Chains, numbering in the thousands. They locked its limbs, locked its head, locked every inch of it.
Only occasionally could one glimpse dark scales, larger than lakes, flashing and reflecting a dark,dim light.
