"Excellent. The more Innate Chaos Demon God bodies I devour, the more I can push my Chaos Small Universe toward perfection. Especially a Primordial Giant-level Innate Chaos Demon God like the Flame Demon God—it expanded by over sixty percent."
Ye Chen revealed a satisfied expression. Being able to expand to such an enormous degree was undeniably fulfilling.
His Chaos Small Universe was now much closer to complete perfection, saving who knows how many tens of thousands of years.
Of course, Ye Chen would not allow the other four Dark Giants to escape. After all, among them were two more Innate Chaos Demon Gods—huge nourishment for his Chaos Small Universe.
Before long, the other four Dark Giants were also suppressed one after another. The other two Innate Chaos Demon Gods of the Seven Heroes of the Chaotic Era naturally became nourishment for Ye Chen's Chaos Small Universe, while the Dark True Dragon and Dark Demonic Tiger were completely suppressed and subdued, becoming his mounts.
With two Ancient Giant-level mounts, Ye Chen cut an incomparably majestic figure, suppressing and slaying within the Eternal Night Domain.
Even though there were other Dark Giant-level existences within the Eternal Night Domain, even some not inferior to Primordial Giants like the Flame Demon God, having personally witnessed Ye Chen's peerless ferocity—especially seeing the Seven Heroes of the Chaotic Era, whose fearsome reputations shook the entire Eternal Night Domain, being forcefully blasted apart and suppressed one by one, and a Primordial Giant-level Innate Chaos Demon God like the Flame Demon God being no match, its Demon God body devoured, and two Dark Giants becoming mounts—it completely highlighted his peak combat power, even surpassing that of ordinary Primordial Giants. He could not be underestimated or looked down upon, let alone actively provoked. That would be a completely suicidal act.
Ye Chen swept his gaze across the depths of the Eternal Night Domain. He sensed that this boundless dark territory was far from simple. In its deepest recesses, terrifying auras that could shock past and present lay dormant, slowly spreading, their might awe-inspiring.
There were even terrifying auras that made even him feel threatened.
However, because they deeply feared him and knew of his terror, they did not truly make a move.
Ye Chen was naturally happy to see this. Of course, if they really did attack, he wouldn't mind sweeping through them.
With his strength, unless a Half-Step Overlord personally intervened, no one could pose much of a threat to him.
The Demon God souls of the Seven Heroes of the Chaotic Era were successively suppressed by Ye Chen. These Innate Chaos Demon God souls, even if far less powerful than at their peak, were of immense use to him.
At the Dark Heavenly Gate, within Donghuang Sacred City, the three Immortal Kings and everyone else regarded him with reverence, as if he were a deity.
"Senior, I beseech you to take action and guide my father's immortal soul back!" Taiyu Immortal King spoke excitedly, pleading. If such a peerless giant was willing to act, the hope of guiding Donghuang's immortal soul back would be almost certain, the hope extremely great!
"Rest assured."
Boom—
Ye Chen, riding the Dark True Dragon with the Dark Demonic Tiger following, arrived together at the end pointed to by the Heaven-Reaching Bridge. There, a mysterious place appeared before their eyes—the Eternal Unknown Land.
It was a bizarre place from which even Primordial Giants and Immortal Venerables never returned.
Even within the Eternal Night Domain, the various Dark Giants dared not easily set foot there. The Dark True Dragon and Dark Demonic Tiger beneath him also appeared quite apprehensive.
The darkness of the Eternal Unknown Land was clearly demarcated from that of the Eternal Night Domain, hazy and indistinct, giving Ye Chen a strange sense of familiarity.
The Forty-Nine Immortal Pass Secret Realm!
The aura was very similar.
Legend had it that both the Eternal Unknown Land and the Forty-Nine Immortal Pass Secret Realm were Origin Secret Realms that had fallen from the Land of Origin, filled with tales.
Standing at the edge, Ye Chen's eyes shone brilliantly, piercing through everything, seeing all within the Eternal Unknown Land.
"This... is the legendary Eternal Unknown Land?"
Ye Chen revealed a trace of astonishment, greatly surprised. Because the legendary Eternal Unknown Land was vastly different from what he had imagined. As far as the eye could see, the Eternal Unknown Land appeared like an immortal paradise—graceful immortal mountains, drifting immortal mists, countless immortal islands floating in the void, waterfalls cascading down like the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven, exceptionally extraordinary.
Within, immortals and gods coexisted, breathtakingly beautiful, captivating.
He had originally thought the Eternal Unknown Land was a Chaos Sea secret realm filled with endless danger, since throughout the ages, even Primordial Giants and Immortal Venerables who entered never returned. Who would have thought it would be so unexpected?
Ye Chen frowned. He always felt something was amiss, but with great skill comes great daring. As a Half-Step Overlord, few in all of history could rival him. Now, with the Heaven-Reaching Bridge, transformed from a wisp of Immortal Venerable origin, personally acting as a bridge, piercing through and capable of guiding him out, he felt reassured. He had the Dark True Dragon and Dark Demonic Tiger shrink to normal size and followed him into this place.
Upon entering the Eternal Unknown Land, a powerful figure descended from the distant sky, landing before Ye Chen. Gentle as jade, it was actually a Quasi-Giant, elegant and transcendent like a scholar. Seeing Ye Chen's appearance, he said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist. May I ask your esteemed name? I am Zhu Tian."
"Zhu Tian Ancient Venerable?" Ye Chen was slightly surprised, because he recognized who this Quasi-Giant was—an Ancient Great Emperor from the era before the last. Back then, he had explored the Eternal Unknown Land and never returned. He never expected to encounter this famous Chaos Sea supreme powerhouse here, who had finally taken that step to become a Quasi-Giant.
"Ye Chen," Ye Chen replied with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Tian Ancient Venerable furrowed his brows, because he had never heard of such a super powerhouse existing in the Chaos Sea. The name Ye Chen was unheard of.
Ye Chen explained, "Actually, I only attained the Dao in this era."
"I see," Zhu Tian Ancient Venerable said without further inquiry, merely assuming Ye Chen was a Supreme One. After all, only Supreme Ones or above dared to explore the Eternal Unknown Land. Since Ye Chen claimed to have only attained the Dao and become an emperor in this era, he naturally assumed he was just a Supreme One and couldn't be that powerful.
In reality, Zhu Tian Ancient Venerable was only at the Quasi-Giant level. How could he accurately perceive Ye Chen's true cultivation?
His judgment that Ye Chen was at least a Supreme One was based on Ye Chen's ability to enter the Eternal Unknown Land. Otherwise, if he were merely a Heavenly King, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter the Chaos Sea, let alone the Eternal Unknown Land. That would be impossible.
"Fellow Daoist has just entered the Eternal Heaven Realm and is unfamiliar. How about I guide you on a tour?" Zhu Tian Ancient Venerable proactively offered.
Eternal Heaven Realm? The name for the Eternal Unknown Land?
Ye Chen immediately understood. Seeing Zhu Tian Ancient Venerable's unexpectedly enthusiastic demeanor, unlike an ordinary Quasi-Giant who should be in seclusion cultivating to break through to higher realms, but with great skill comes great daring. As a Half-Step Overlord, he truly feared no one. He nodded slightly and agreed.
Under the guidance of Zhu Tian Ancient Venerable, Ye Chen officially set foot in this Eternal Heaven Realm.
