The world fell into silence!
At this moment, the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler displayed power far greater than thirty years prior, suppressing all great enemies and forcing the most deeply hidden fearsome foes to take action to rescue their own, yet they could do nothing against him.
All of this was more than enough to prove the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler's peerless supremacy.
Thus, it also completely solidified his position as the supreme Dominator.
The Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, from this moment on, was the supreme overlord of the Heaven Realm!
The great world trembled, startling the lands of the Seven Realms.
Only the Desolate Realm remained isolated by the Rule Heavenly Pass, unaware.
The younger generation's competition for supremacy across the Eight Realms was also briefly suppressed, falling silent, as all had to lift their heads and gaze toward the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, high above, standing at the very pinnacle of the world.
Silently, Ye Chen returned beneath the heavens, but he did not immediately return to the Ancient Desolate Kingdom. Instead, he entered one Forbidden Zone of Life after another.
Naturally, his every move was watched with intense focus. The world was paying attention, wondering what other actions the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler would take next.
Today, Ye Chen had forcefully swept through all the Forbidden Zone Dominators, confronted the alien race's most deeply hidden fearsome experts, and nearly annihilated them all. He possessed absolute, overwhelming strength that commanded the reverence of the entire world. Now, he personally set foot in these Forbidden Zones of Life.
As the former Primordial Heaven Realm Dominator, he believed these Forbidden Zones of Life must contain abundant divine treasures that could greatly supplement the foundation of the Heavenly Kingdom, and even the Chaos Heavenly Mansion.
Sure enough, he first stepped into Kunxu, one of the few Forbidden Zones of Life belonging to a peerless Sovereign. Inside, it formed its own great world, containing countless divine treasures enough to drive any Ancient Monarch to madness.
He entered for a moment, then directly took away the entire Kunxu, storing it within his inner universe.
Following the same method, he proceeded to take away the other eight Forbidden Zones of Life one after another.
Even though the former four Forbidden Zones of Life, after their Dominators perished in the Dominator War, still had few who could set foot within, as the former Forbidden Zone Dominators had laid down peerless ancient formations that only Super Sovereigns could breach.
Naturally, before Ye Chen with his absolute combat power, they were utterly insignificant.
Not to mention his power had reached great completion, his attainments in formation arts were also extraordinary. Mere formations could not block his entry.
In the end, in less than half a day, all nine Forbidden Zones of Life were completely taken away by him, vanishing entirely from the Primordial Heaven Realm.
The world was shaken!
For countless years, the nine Forbidden Zones of Life had existed like Ten Thousand Ancient Inheritances, enduring alongside the world, never once disappearing. On the contrary, they evolved more with the passing of each era.
Now, they had all been directly taken away and vanished. It was simply earth-shattering, unprecedented news.
But considering it was the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, the peerless figure of the Desolate Realm, unrivaled throughout history, all of this was also within expectations.
In the current world, aside from this peerless overlord-level existence, the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, how many could accomplish such a feat?
The world fell silent, unable to name more than a few, and many didn't know if they could even name one.
They believed even the current Heaven Realm Dominator, the Lord of Heavenly Ruins, might not be able to do it.
After all, the Dominators of the nine Forbidden Zones of Life—who among them had not once been the Heaven Realm Dominator of their era?
Did the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler taking away all nine Forbidden Zones of Life in one go also prove that his strength surpassed even that of the Heaven Realm Dominator, standing above them all?
In secret, however, there were unfathomable figures who did not subscribe to this view.
They gazed toward the Heavenly Ruins in the central region, their hearts heavy.
Aside from the very few of their kind, probably no one in the mortal world truly understood the terror of the current Heaven Realm Dominator, the Lord of Heavenly Ruins.
After successively taking away the nine Forbidden Zones of Life, Ye Chen did not check how many divine treasures he had acquired. Instead, he directly arrived at the Imperial God Kingdom, the sole immortal divine kingdom among the Seven Great Ten Thousand Ancient Inheritances.
It must be said, Ye Chen's appearance thoroughly shook the Imperial God Kingdom. The entire kingdom trembled with fear, extremely tense, fearing the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler had come to deal with the Imperial God Kingdom.
Although the Imperial God Kingdom was formed from a Mythical imperial clan and also possessed a supreme Emperor's weapon, the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler possessed as many as two supreme Emperor's weapons.
Moreover, they knew the disappearance of the other six Ten Thousand Ancient Inheritances was caused by the former Heaven Realm Dominator's actions. Even possessing a supreme Emperor's weapon could not escape calamity, let alone facing the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler who was countless times more powerful. They simply could not resist.
Even so, the several slumbering, sealed Ancient Monarchs of the Imperial God Kingdom were the first to awaken and emerge one after another.
Monarch Chen Yuan of the Imperial God Kingdom appeared, looking at Ye Chen with a grave expression, and said, "Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, you are—"
For a dignified Ancient Monarch to be this solemn, as if facing a great enemy, one could imagine how terrifying Ye Chen's current imposing might was.
Sovereign Lord Huang, this imperial son, also spoke: "Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, within the Mythical Ruins Land, my Imperial God Kingdom was willing to offer you some assistance, even going so far as to retrieve a supreme Emperor's weapon for you."
Ye Chen understood the worries of Monarch Chen Yuan and Sovereign Lord Huang, and sensed the wariness of the other awakened former Sovereigns of the Imperial God Kingdom. He even faintly sensed the supreme Emperor's weapon beginning to stir.
He smiled, restrained the aura of his two supreme Emperor's weapons, and his imposing might receded. He arrived peacefully within the imperial capital of the Imperial God Kingdom and said, "You need not worry. I remember your kindness well and would not take action against the Imperial God Kingdom. Moreover, my main purpose in coming this time is to understand some matters."
"Understand matters?"
Everyone in the Imperial God Kingdom was astonished. What could the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler not understand?
However, hearing his intention, they also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, who would want to oppose such a terrifying, peerless Heavenly Kingdom Ruler?
"We invite the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler into the hall for discussion!"
Monarch Chen Yuan and the several awakened imperial clan Sovereigns appeared one after another within the most magnificent and solemn imperial hall.
Sovereign Lord Huang also appeared. He was indeed the imperial son, his status no lower, and even higher, than the several imperial clan Sovereigns.
The Imperial God Kingdom welcomed Ye Chen into the hall with the highest ceremonial etiquette.
Within the imperial hall, aside from Sovereign Lord Huang, Monarch Chen Yuan, and the several awakened Ancient Monarchs, even Quasi-Sovereigns were not qualified to enter.
"May we ask what matters the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler wishes to understand?"
The powerhouses of the Imperial God Kingdom were very respectful, yet also carried a sense of tension, not daring to slight this peerless figure of the current era.
"To inquire about some matters concerning the Ten Thousand Ancient Inheritances, their destruction, and even the Heaven Realm Dominator," Ye Chen stated directly.
The expressions of the Imperial God Kingdom's several peak powerholders and Sovereign Lord Huang changed slightly, for this involved absolute taboos.
However, the Ye Chen before them was a peerless figure who had suppressed the entire Primordial Heaven Realm. He probably already knew some of the inside story.
Monarch Chen Yuan did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "What does the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler already know?"
"I have been in contact with a destroyed Mythical imperial clan. I understand that the Ten Thousand Ancient Inheritances are formed from Mythical imperial clans. I also know that the former six Ten Thousand Ancient Inheritances were most likely destroyed by the Heaven Realm Dominator of their respective eras," Ye Chen briefly mentioned some content he learned from figures like Barbarian God King, but did not mention that the Barbarian Tribe was the former Desolate imperial clan.
Hearing this, everyone in the Imperial God Kingdom immediately changed expressions, knowing Ye Chen had already touched upon the deepest secrets. They saw no point in hiding it further.
