Far in the center of the Myriad Domains lay the most prosperous land of all the myriad realms. Here stood the Hundred Schools of Thought, the myriad sects, the Immortal Sacred Lands, the immortal divine dynasties, and countless other large and small powers, including the strongest Sacred Lands where Great Powers resided.
Naturally, this place also teemed with countless experts, a place where tigers crouch and dragons hide. It was rumored to be the origin point of all things in the myriad realms.
More importantly, in this central region stood the undisputed paramount power: the Human Sovereign's Palace. Located at the very heart of the myriad realms, it was where successive generations of the supreme Human Sovereign, who presided over the rise and fall of all realms, resided. They sat upon that supreme throne, overlooking the myriad realms and seeking to fathom the secrets of immortality.
Within a vast and spiritually rich region of this center lay a secret realm, hidden within the endless void. Its internal space was vast and boundless, like a great world itself, brimming with vitality.
Immortal mountains stood tall, wreathed in clouds and mist. Auspicious beasts soared, and spiritual herbs and immortal medicines grew everywhere. The spiritual energy was incredibly rich, with numerous ancestral veins and spirit veins crisscrossing the land.
Terrifying auras lurked within, making the description 'a dragon's pool and a tiger's den'—a place of hidden dangers—not an exaggeration in the slightest.
This was a secret realm created by a supreme Great Power of a certain peerless Sacred Land. After countless years of continuous expansion, it had long since become comparable to a great world, inhabited by countless living beings and teeming with powerful experts.
High above, in the ninth layer of the firmament—a sky mortals could only gaze upon but never ascend—floated a vast and majestic supreme divine city. It was the awe-inspiring divine city in the hearts of billions of creatures within this secret realm, the dwelling place of the supreme deity, the Ancient Ancestor.
Only descendants of the Ancient Ancestor's bloodline, who were powerful experts themselves, had the right to reside within this supreme divine city.
At the center of this ancient city was not a sprawling complex of palaces and towers, but a towering, majestic divine peak that pierced the clouds and reached into the heavens. This was the Divine Spirit Mountain, the meditation site of the Ancient Ancestor, sacred and extraordinary. The pressure of the Great Dao was overwhelming, and an aura as vast and endless as the Heavenly Dao itself flowed from it.
Anyone who arrived before this divine mountain had to set aside their pride, face it with reverence, and even prostrate themselves in worship.
At this very moment, an extremely powerful aura suddenly began to slowly emanate from the divine mountain, causing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to tremble. All beings felt compelled to submit, not daring to utter a single word in their fear.
The Ancient Ancestor, who had slumbered for who knew how many years, was actually beginning to awaken.
"In this generation, is a new young genius finally about to give birth to an Immortal True King? In a way, it's rather late. I'm afraid those True Kings undergoing reincarnation in the mortal world are about to awaken as well."
The great existence of the Ancient Ancestor sighed inwardly, words only he could hear, with no one else able to perceive them.
Then, an immensely majestic voice rang out within the divine mountain: "Someone, attend me!"
Not long after, a Saint Treasury Realm supreme expert—a being who stood high above all others in the eyes of the world, ruling over a great domain—appeared. He actually knelt at the foot of the Divine Spirit Mountain, his expression one of utmost reverence and awe from the depths of his heart. "Mo Daoyi pays his respects to the Ancient Ancestor. What are your instructions, Ancient Ancestor?"
The peerless Ancient Ancestor within the Divine Spirit Mountain did not manifest his form, but his aura seemed capable of crushing the endless void. He now inquired majestically, "Has our clan's True King, who is currently struggling through the crossing of Samsara, been found yet?"
This clan was a peerless Sacred Land, extraordinary. In this generation, it had produced a peerless young genius who was an Immortal True King. His talent could shine through the ages, possessing the invincible divine bearing of a young Human Sovereign. Great hopes were placed upon him. He belonged to the previous generation of young True Kings and was currently struggling through the crossing of Samsara.
"Reporting to the Ancient Ancestor, our clan's True King has not yet been found, but we have mobilized all our forces to search," Mo Daoyi replied respectfully.
"Still not found?" The Ancient Ancestor's voice seemed ethereal. "So be it. Samsara is the most mysterious of all. Aside from the Emperors and Sovereigns of the Mythical Era, I'm afraid even if the Human Sovereign himself intervened, he might not be able to locate him. If he can be found, protect him with all your might. If not, let it be. As a True King, his Primordial Spirit was bestowed with many secret treasures; he won't die."
"Moreover, perhaps he has already awakened and is merely attempting the Supreme One's Method."
"The Supreme One's Method?" Upon hearing this, Mo Daoyi's heart trembled. As a high-ranking member of this peerless Sacred Land, he naturally knew that their True King, while in Samsara, intended to attempt some supreme methods. He was trying to use the mysterious Samsara to transcend himself and reach the legendary Tenth Heaven realm, truly achieving a state of perfect, flawless completion.
Some ancient Great Sages even believed that the hope of becoming an Emperor or Sovereign in this era might not lie with the current Human Sovereign, but perhaps with the Tenth Heaven.
Because in the Mythical Era, every supreme existence who achieved the status of Emperor or Sovereign, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao, had invariably reached the Tenth Heaven.
After the Mythical Era, no one could become an Emperor or Sovereign. Perhaps the true reason was the loss of the Tenth Heaven, leading to an incomplete Dao.
Generally speaking, this should be impossible to succeed. Because the legendary Tenth Heaven had long since vanished during the Mythical Era, leaving only the Nine Heavens in the present world. With one Heaven missing, the world was incomplete and did not permit such a breakthrough.
Yet, within the profound mysteries, there remained a sliver of hope. Just as in the previous generation, there was a young genius regarded as part of the Forbidden Lineage by all the peerless Sacred Lands. He was hailed as the young generation's supreme and truly achieved a breakthrough, surpassing the Nine Heavens to attain the heaven-defying Tenth Heaven.
Although it was unknown how that forbidden figure managed his breakthrough, the Great Powers of the myriad realms had deduced that because of the appearance of this Forbidden Supreme One, the impossible had become possible. It gave the Immortal True Kings of the myriad realms a sliver of hope to achieve the Tenth Heaven.
Ordinary methods simply couldn't provide them with the opportunity for a breakthrough. Therefore, the Immortal True Kings of the previous generation all sought to use the most mysterious Samsara, to be reborn through reincarnation, in order to comprehend the opportunity for a breakthrough and achieve the legendary Tenth Heaven.
This was the so-called Supreme One's Method!
Even though Samsara contained a sliver of a chance for success, the world was still incomplete. Truly achieving something remained extremely difficult. However, once successful, one would become even more supreme and powerful.
In another ancient, peerless Sacred Land, a vast celestial palace complex floated in the sky, permeated with an aura of ancient times.
Within the central celestial palace, a tremendous fluctuation erupted at this moment. A majestic figure, as tall as the heavens, stood between heaven and earth. His form was hazy, and the myriad Daos seemed to submit before him.
A surging yet gentle radiance illuminated every corner of this great world, causing all beings within this vast world to sincerely kneel on the ground, shouting, "Long live the Supreme Deity! The Supreme Deity has manifested!"
The majestic figure of the Ancient Ancestor stood as tall as the heavens. At this moment, his gaze was profound and boundless, as if containing the rise and fall of all worlds, capable of piercing through all falsehoods in the world. Gazing beyond the great world, a divine sense as vast as the heavens stirred between heaven and earth: "This generation has finally produced an Immortal True King. Presumably, the other geniuses from across the ages will also emerge one after another, pushing this era to its absolute peak."
"The True Kings of various clans have likely already awakened within Samsara, attempting the Supreme One's Method, striving for a heaven-defying breakthrough to reach the Tenth Heaven level achieved by that young supreme of the Forbidden Lineage decades ago."
"This era is destined to be the most prosperous of all ages. True Kings will emerge continuously, Supreme Ones will appear, not just as fleeting flashes. Perhaps the most sagacious Emperors and Sovereigns, standing in that distant, unreachable Mythical Era, deduced the later epoch-shattering war of the Great Destruction Era. They sealed their descendants, who carry the blood of Emperors and Sovereigns, to awaken in this era."
"True Kings emerging continuously, Supreme Ones coming into the world—this era is different. It might also be a situation deduced by the peerless Emperors and Sovereigns, a scene in the grand chessboard of the ages, preparing for the final battle."
The masses were shocked. The Ancient Ancestor was revealing some of the ultimate secrets of the ages. This era was actually so different? Were there descendants of the Emperors and Sovereigns from the Mythical Era sealed to awaken in this era?
Those would likely be true young supremes, not much inferior to Immortal True Kings, perhaps even stronger.
Similar scenes also occurred one after another in other peerless Sacred Lands across the myriad realms. One supreme Great Power, an Ancient Ancestor after another, manifested, all awakened by the appearance of this new generation's Immortal True King. Ancient, great secrets were being spoken, each one enough to shock the world.
Other Immortal Sacred Lands also displayed various divine signs, and great fluctuations swept through the world, all revolving around the appearance of this young True King.
Furthermore, mysterious forces emerged to investigate the origins of the Great Demon King Yue. The world believed it impossible for a young True King to be born without cause; he must be a peerless young genius taught by some peerless Sacred Land or an ultimate supreme existence!
Quietly, the myriad realms, which had been calm for endless years, began to see undercurrents stirring—and they were not small.
Ye Chen, still within the Domain War battlefield, was unaware of all this.
After the battle concluded, he led the three hundred Primordial War Cavalry deep into a mountain range within the Domain War battlefield. Having the three hundred Primordial War Cavalry stand guard, he himself sat cross-legged in the void. Divine radiance and immortal light flowed from his entire body, his flesh glowing with auspicious light, and Dao marks drifted around him. He began to comprehend and digest his current Dao.
Indeed, during the battle against the four Kings, he had already broken into the True King realm, completely achieving the status of an Immortal True King and mastering the invincible power of the True King realm.
Naturally, this wasn't an instantaneous leap. His previous life's realm had been too profound; he had also been a Supreme One, half a step above the True King realm. His understanding of the True King realm was far greater than that of other Kings.
It was just that his True Spirit had shackles restricting him; otherwise, he would have long since become a True King expert.
Moreover, after three months of secluded meditation and comprehension at Wang Ming's meditation site, he had already pushed his own dao techniques to a certain level and gained insights into Wang Ming's Primordial Battle Body. This breakthrough was merely a natural progression.
After achieving the status of a True King supreme expert, Ye Chen's future path to becoming a Supreme One would be much smoother. At the very least, he could now look down upon Kings, and seizing kingly blood would be many times more at ease.
Now, with every movement, every inch of his flesh seemed to contain a True Dragon, possessing endless power of the Great Dao capable of shaking the heavens and shattering the sky.
Three days later, Ye Chen awoke, having fully digested the many insights gained after achieving True King status. He could now wield the power of the True King realm even more smoothly. His body glowed brilliantly with auspicious light. With every gesture, terrifying divine power surged and roared through his meridians, capable of shaking the void—truly fearsome.
Boom—
The heavens and earth seemed to shatter in an instant. From the distant horizon rose endless, blazing, and dazzling radiance, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and shaking an area spanning thousands of miles.
A terrifying aura was directed from afar at Ye Chen and the others, causing their expressions to change!
