Throughout history, the Myriad Realms Academy and the Dragon Phoenix Academy have been hailed as the two highest-level cultivation academies across the myriad domains. Countless Heaven's Pride talents have emerged from these two great institutions across the ages, and naturally, there have been reincarnations of past Human Emperors among them, who naturally mastered portions of the Emperor's Traces.
These traces were left by the Mythical Emperors, by Supremes from outside the Pangu Universe, and even included battlefields from the Mythical Great Destruction War—none were simple.
Of course, the current Ye Chen had already witnessed far too many Emperor's Traces, had even personally paid homage to true Supremes, and even to Eternal Giants. He himself wielded power surpassing that of ordinary Supremes, so a typical Emperor's Trace site would not overly excite him.
However, one particular Emperor's Trace site was related to that particular Sovereign, which inevitably stirred Ye Chen's heart.
Even his gaze instantly brightened—
The Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign!
An ancient and supreme Sovereign, who had left countless legends in the world, standing at the pinnacle of the Great Dao. It was said he belonged to the same great era as Tai Sheng Huang and the Heaven-Defying War Lord.
And remarkably, he too had mastered the profound and unfathomable Chaos Great Dao. His attainments in chaos were among the very best throughout the entire Chaos Sea, second only to Tai Sheng Huang.
Regarding the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign, Ye Chen had a faint suspicion in his heart, always suspecting he was that person from back then.
Even if he wasn't that person, an Emperor's Trace site concerning the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign was still worth exploring.
This was a Supreme Sovereign from an ancient epoch, whose cultivation shook the past and illuminated the present, unmatched, belonging to the level of a Supreme Giant.
It was said he simultaneously mastered the Chaos Great Dao and the Primordial Beginning Great Dao. Especially the Primordial Beginning Great Dao, which he cultivated to profound and miraculous depths, gaining insights into the Time Great Dao through analogy and reaching its peak.
In the past, one of the Time-Space Great Emperor's secret arts, "Primordial Beginning," was actually comprehended from the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign's Primordial Beginning Great Dao.
Unfortunately, it was said he fell during the Mythical Great Destruction War.
Because refining divine pills was extremely taxing on the spirit, Ye Chen rested for a month before gradually recovering. However, due to consecutively refining multiple ninth-grade divine pills, his soul power had been excessively depleted and then restored, resulting in some growth in soul power. Though not much, it was still a method to increase soul strength.
Upon learning about the Emperor's Trace site related to the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign, after resting and recovering, he set off alone.
With his current cultivation comparable to a peerless Ancient Monarch, the world was vast, and even Emperor's Trace sites were accessible to him, especially since he brought the Five Elements Emperor Star along.
The location of the Emperor's Trace site was not within the myriad domains, but in a special space-time region. The Dragon Phoenix Academy had a special passageway built specifically to reach that Emperor's Trace site.
It must be said, the passage was merely something the Dragon Phoenix Academy had fortuitously discovered back then. Actually reaching the Emperor's Trace site was incredibly dangerous, as it was located in a chaotic space-time zone, with traces of the Great Dao from the Mythical Great Destruction War that had not decayed to this day. There were remnants of Supreme power wandering about, making it extremely perilous.
Not to mention ordinary people, even an Ancient Monarch could easily perish with the slightest carelessness.
Of course, this did not include Ye Chen. His cultivation was sufficiently powerful, and his Chaos Saint Body had recovered mostly, more indestructible than countless Ancient Monarch's immortal weapons, allowing him to proceed.
"Battle Saint King, are you heading to the Primordial Chaos Emperor's Trace?"
The academy masters of the two great cultivation academies spoke, making a request: if he set out, once the exploration was complete, they hoped he could establish a relatively safe spatial passageway for each of the two academies.
Every Emperor's Trace site was related to an ancient Great Emperor. Even after being explored, it remained a rare cultivation treasure land, allowing for more direct and closer perception of the residual Great Dao of supreme powerhouses, offering immense benefits to any cultivator.
Especially those residual heavenly marks left by Sovereign Supremes, which could drive even Ancient Monarchs to madness.
Moreover, a supreme powerhouse like Ye Chen wouldn't take all the treasures—their level was too high, making many treasures seem worthless in his eyes, while these so-called ordinary treasures were priceless in the eyes of others.
Precisely for this reason, such an Emperor's Trace site could allow the two great academies to cultivate Heaven's Pride talents faster and in greater numbers.
Hearing this, Ye Chen agreed.
This was also what he wished to see. The more prosperous and flourishing the Pangu Universe became, the better it could resist the alien Ancient Universe, the Chaos Burial Ground, and even the blood-stained future.
Of course, he would also establish a passageway for the Chaos Heavenly Mansion, allowing the talents gathered by the Chaos Heavenly Mansion to train in the Emperor's Trace site.
"Thank you, Saint King!"
The people of the two great academies immediately expressed gratitude. Without the Battle Saint King's intervention, even if their respective academies had Ancient Monarchs, it would still be extremely perilous.
Standing at the Dragon Phoenix Academy's passageway, before the many powerhouses of the two great academies, Ye Chen directly stepped into the chaotic space-time. Before anyone could exclaim or dissuade him, layers of chaotic radiance shimmered around his body, dissolving all calamities, and he soared directly into the heavens.
Along the way, even the terrifying calamitous power of the Mythical Great Destruction or the residual Supreme power, while strong enough to threaten ordinary Ancient Monarchs, posed no threat to Ye Chen and were directly neutralized.
Such methods left the powerhouses of the two great academies utterly astonished.
Truly worthy of being called the number one Heaven's Pride of the Chaos Sea!
Traversing the chaotic space-time didn't take very long before he arrived at a desolate world continent, barren and devoid of life.
However, one could see multiple spots of bright red bloodstains on this world, still vivid as rainbows even after billions of years—Supreme Blood from ancient times, enduring and unextinguished, containing an immortal quality.
Some blood contained chaotic energy, some contained dark demonic power, and some even contained immortal energy. From perception alone, there were no fewer than ten Supremes.
Of course, the most powerful were the Supreme Blood containing wisps of ancient chaotic energy, and another type of Supreme Blood, permeated with strands of dark power.
These two types of Supreme Blood overshadowed the others, eternal through the ages, enduring for billions of years!
Ye Chen's heart trembled slightly, because that Supreme Blood gave him a familiar aura—the aura of that mysterious figure shrouded in chaotic energy from the past.
Indeed, he was the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign!
The suspicion was confirmed!
It must be known, this Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign had once shown kindness to Ye Chen.
Many years ago, when an alien Supreme Emperor crossed the River of Time to strangle Ye Chen, a key figure of the Pangu Universe, a mysterious Supreme existence shrouded in chaotic energy intervened, resolving that calamity.
Subsequently, he showed Ye Chen kindness several times, saving him from peril.
Only later did he disappear without a trace.
For a long time, Ye Chen believed he was Tai Sheng Huang, but later discovered he was not, but someone else.
Only as his cultivation gradually grew stronger and he learned more and more secrets did he gradually come to know that the mysterious figure shrouded in chaotic energy was the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign.
Although it was always rumored that the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign had fallen, his several interventions in this epoch clearly showed that this Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign had not completely perished and was still alive.
Having received such kindness, Ye Chen had long wished to personally pay homage to the Primordial Chaos Imperial Sovereign and express his gratitude face to face.
Now, witnessing the Emperor's Trace site of his benefactor from back then, perhaps containing some news about him, naturally filled him with excitement.
