Ye Chen was astonished. It seemed that within the Origin Ancient Path, tremendous changes had occurred during this period, with a Supreme One taking action.
Moreover, this was a passageway spanning across the Chaos Ancient Universe. Only the mysterious Heavenly Gate left behind by the Heavenly Gate's Master could open it. Otherwise, even if a true Supreme One came, they would be unable to accomplish this.
Secretly, Ye Chen grew increasingly curious about the true identity of the Heavenly Gate's Master.
"You must be careful. The Origin Ancient Path seems very unsafe now. I sense multiple Supreme-level powers ravaging the space, causing terrifying spatial storms. For now, I can only temporarily stabilize a portion of the void, but I cannot completely guarantee the stability of the passageway," he warned, his expression quite grave, causing the Dan Emperor Clan members to feel worried.
"It's fine. The divine artifact spirit of the Dan Emperor Cauldron, Senior, knows we are heading to the Origin Ancient Path to find the Emperor Ancestor and has awakened on its own."
The old Sovereign said. As he spoke, the Dan Emperor Cauldron descended from the sky, radiating layers of Supreme-level divine might that blasted into the Heavenly Gate passageway, directly constructing an extremely stable spatial channel.
Faintly, threads of the might of an Eternal Colossus-level existence rippled and reinforced it. Even if a Supreme One came in person, it would be difficult to break.
"That's good then," Ye Chen nodded.
The Dan Emperor Clan's old Sovereign and a group of the clan's powerhouses entered the gate, heading for the Origin Ancient Path.
Naturally, Ye Chen did not choose to go to the Origin Ancient Path. He bid farewell to the Dan Emperor Clan and also began his journey.
The Iceflame Monarch, Number Three, and Number Four were Star Sky Overlords, and they were veterans. They could not enter the Eight Desolates Ancient Domain, which was a regret, as they could not continue following Ye Chen.
After all, they had seen the boundless radiance of becoming an Emperor, even an Eternal Colossus, from him. Following such a future colossus was an absolute glory.
"It's fine. You may stay here for now. If one day I return to the Pangu Universe and you still wish to follow, you may come along."
Ye Chen was magnanimous. Along the way, he also restored the intelligence of the Devouring Star Beast Progenitor. This ancient and supremely powerful progenitor existence directly reached the terrifying aura of the late ninth-level Sovereign, incredibly powerful.
The Devouring Star Beast Progenitor transformed into human form, an old man, far more powerful than the three Star Sky Overlords like the Iceflame Monarch, comparable to the Fourth Emperor Envoy. He now came before Ye Chen, expressing his willingness to become a follower and accompany him.
In the end, the three Star Sky Overlords were invited by the Ultimate Ancient Path to become members of the Path Guardians.
"We'll meet again if fate allows."
Ye Chen set off.
The Hundredth Pass.
The Ultimate Ancient Path had a total of one hundred passes, a number of great completion. The Hundredth Pass was the end of the ancient path.
Only by reaching this pass could one be considered to have stepped into the end of the Ultimate Ancient Path—the Eight Desolates Ancient Domain. That was a vast great world comparable to the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, very likely also evolved from a Chaos Primordial Great World.
Ye Chen tore through the void, appearing like a blazing bolt of lightning. Even without deliberately revealing himself, his powerful aura and familiar figure immediately caused a huge commotion in the Hundredth Pass.
The number one figure of the two ancient paths, the invincible Monarch of the present age.
While all the geniuses and outstanding talents were still competing and contending, this Battle Saint King had long since become the Star Sky's invincible, peerless Monarch, suppressing the arrogant Soul-Restraining Hall, striking down one Star Sky Overlord after another, establishing his own invincible status in battles of blood and fire.
In the past, the Battle Saint King had traveled far on the Ultimate Ancient Path, setting off from another ancient path—the Supreme Ancient Path—and entered the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain at its end, fighting all the way to its deepest reaches, suppressing all the peerless geniuses of the two ancient paths.
Now, he was finally about to step from the Ultimate Ancient Path into the end of this ancient path.
Countless outstanding talents of the ancient path specially came, and even the strongest talents of the Eight Desolates Ancient Domain returned at all costs, just to catch a glimpse of the demeanor of this strongest talent of the present age.
Ye Chen entered the Hundredth Pass. He saw that within this trial ancient pass, thousands of trial outstanding talents had appeared, gathered together.
It must be noted that any ancient path outstanding talent capable of reaching the Hundredth Pass was at least at the Great Power level.
There were also countless heavenly proud daughters who seemed aloof and transcendent in the eyes of outsiders—divine maidens of a clan, fairies from the Immortal Clan, goddess kings who dominated a domain... These were truly heavenly proud daughters pursued by tens of thousands. At this moment, they looked at Ye Chen, filled with admiration.
The strong were respected, especially an unparalleled Monarch like the Battle Saint King who had fought invincibly across the Star Sky. Proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor was merely a matter of time. Few women could refuse the glory of accompanying such a figure and basking in the radiance of an Emperor.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen felt some emotion. He had finally reached the end of the Ultimate Ancient Path.
Seeing these still young and flourishing heavenly talents, the strongest talents of various domains—they were all future magnates of the various Chaos Ancient Universes, full of potential, perhaps destined to rule the world in their respective places in the future.
Without a doubt, this was a group of future supreme powerhouses full of potential. If possible, Ye Chen would not give up on them.
He couldn't help but feel moved. Smiling at the many ancient path outstanding talents, as gentle as a spring breeze, he said, "Everyone, I intend to establish the Chaos Heavenly Mansion on the Ultimate Ancient Path, also the successor to the Moon Hall. I wonder if anyone is willing to join and fight alongside me in the future!"
Without a doubt, Ye Chen's current influence was immense. Not only had he fought invincibly across the two ancient paths hundreds of years ago, but now he was also the absolute invincible existence under the Star Sky, a Monarch of his generation, suppressing the Soul-Restraining Hall. Who could contend with him?
Countless outstanding talents were willing to follow behind such a Monarch, bathe in glory, and fight together.
Soon, over a third of the ancient path outstanding talents present agreed to join. The remaining people were also restless, but they had basically already joined various forces, even ancient path overlord forces, and found it difficult to leave.
Ye Chen didn't say much more. He had now planted a seed in the hearts of these outstanding talents. He believed that before long, this seed would sprout and eventually grow into a towering tree, guiding them to join.
Of course, he did not immediately lead the group of ancient path outstanding talents willing to join to the Eight Desolates Ancient Domain. They still needed to continue their training; now was not the most opportune moment.
"Battle Saint King!"
Sovereign Xuelan, Sovereign Xuyang, Great Monarch Qingyang, and other Ancient Sovereigns of the Ultimate Ancient Path appeared one after another, more than a dozen in total. Such a lineup was solely to welcome the arrival of the Battle Saint King.
"Seniors," Ye Chen was very polite, not arrogant, but as gentle as ever. This attitude made many people nod secretly.
A hundred boats competing in the current—being able to become the number one genius among the myriad Chaos Ancient Universes was no accident. Such an attitude often spoke volumes.
The Ancient Sovereigns of the Ultimate Ancient Path had come both to welcome and to see him off.
"Battle Saint King, you truly have good methods. You've managed to win over quite a few of these youngsters," Sovereign Xuelan said with a bitter smile, having naturally witnessed everything that had just happened.
