Within the myriad realms, there was a newly risen superpower—the Heavenly Gate. Though it had only emerged for less than a century, its rise was astonishingly swift, propelling it to become a colossal entity among the myriad realms, in no way inferior to those immortal sacred lands, and even comparable to the supreme sacred lands.
Despite lacking that kind of deep-rooted heritage, the Heavenly Gate possessed a peerless and invincible ancient Great Power—the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord!
It was precisely because a force was founded by an ancient Great Power that, within mere decades, countless experts continuously flocked to this new power, constantly strengthening it. Thus, it was able to rise rapidly within just a few decades and grow to this stage, becoming a behemoth that overshadowed past and present across the myriad realms.
Seeing this legendary Gate Lord, who had founded a power not inferior to a supreme sacred land, appear, everyone present couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
In this world, who did not know, who was not aware.
The legendary Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord had arrived. Standing here, he was like an ancient mountain range lying across the land, majestic and immovable.
His body shone with a brilliant divine light, his vast divine might shook heaven and earth and moved ghosts and gods, vibrating the entire world. Everyone trembled, a chill running straight to their bones.
He walked forward step by step, his expression calm, treading upon the void as if ascending stairs. Yet his strike was like that of a supreme Divine King, a single palm slapping towards the Heavenly Pass. Boundless divine might surged and billowed, causing several colossal demonic figures to grow more illusory, demonic blood splattering across the sky.
Extremely powerful!
Even the ancient Great Powers changed expressions. This newly advanced ancient Great Power was excessively strong, not inferior to those old fossils who had stepped into this level tens of thousands of years ago. A single move displayed terrifying power.
"Gate Lord!"
Ye Chen and the Tai Chu Female Saint Master soared into the sky, respectfully performing a grand bow.
In his previous life, he had originated from the Heavenly Gate in the lower realm, sharing a relationship with the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord that was both master and friend.
Now that the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord had come, his emotions surged like a tide, difficult to suppress—this was unimaginable.
It must be known that he had been able to remain calm even when facing an ancient Great Power like Ancient Ancestor Immortal Death earlier. Yet now he was agitated, which spoke volumes.
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord restrained his boundless might, nodded towards them, and even patted Ye Chen's shoulder, smiling slightly as he said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
Ye Chen was incomparably excited, but he also understood this was not the moment for lengthy conversation.
Ancient Ancestor Immortal Death stared coldly at the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord. "Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, you intend to protect this little beast of the forbidden lineage?"
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord's expression slowly turned icy. Though his words were plain, what he said next shocked everyone. "He is a member of my Heavenly Gate. Whoever dares harm a single hair on his head is my enemy. Don't believe me? Try it."
Forceful!
Domineering!
They were indeed of the same lineage. The Battle Saint King was arrogant and domineering, but the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord was even more so, fearless in the face of the ancient ancestor Great Power of the Immortal Sacred Land, directly confronting him head-on.
Ancient Ancestor Immortal Death laughed coldly. "Do you truly believe only you can protect this little beast? Either you offer yourself as the Sacrificial Offering, or this little beast must be offered to close the Heavenly Pass!"
"Sacrificial Offering?" The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord merely swept a glance at him, then directly slapped out a palm. Surging power shook the Nine Heavens, shattered the myriad realms, and struck towards Ancient Ancestor Immortal Death.
"You dare!"
Ancient Ancestor Immortal Death roared violently, death energy surging skyward to block it. The earth shook and mountains swayed, yet he did not retreat a single step.
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord's face was expressionless, but the energies of life and death manifested, swirling and transforming into a Life-Death Taiji Diagram. He spoke with deliberate calm, "There is nothing my Heavenly Gate dares not do. If you truly dare to use Qian as a Sacrificial Offering, I will immediately wipe your entire Immortal Sacred Land clean from this world. Don't believe me? Try it."
"You!"
Ancient Ancestor Immortal Death flew into a rage. Who was he? A true peerless Great Power who looked down upon the myriad realms, unparalleled throughout the ages. Never had anyone dared to threaten him like this.
But the aura emanating from this Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord was innate, utterly fearless of everything.
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord said nothing, only a faint, cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth, making even Ancient Ancestor Immortal Death wary.
When a Great Power goes mad, even other Great Powers find it immensely troublesome, and they are exceedingly difficult to kill.
The other ancient Great Powers stepped forward to intervene. And at this moment, within the Emperor's Pass, one demonic figure after another manifested, towering between heaven and earth, immensely tall, their roars shaking the heavens.
The Emperor's Pass channel blocked the attacks of the various powers from entering, and likewise blocked the great demons of the alien race from crossing over. Endless law forces clashed—three thousand deities, ten thousand great demons—their roars shaking the Nine Heavens.
And at this moment, the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord flipped his palm. Immediately, an edict soared into the sky, slowly unfurling in the void.
In that instant, an unprecedented, supreme heavenly might erupted alongside it, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, affecting the starry sky of heaven and earth, causing the stars of the myriad realms to tremble.
The golden, dazzling edict contained a vast, boundless divine might of the Great Dao, earth-shattering, sweeping across the sky, causing everyone's expressions to change.
Moreover, at this moment, everyone felt as if they were facing a supreme and unparalleled Human Sovereign, almost compelled to kneel down and worship.
"This is—a Human Sovereign Decree!"
Everyone was shocked, even the several ancient Great Powers changed countenance.
This aura, this vastness, this peerless supremacy—who else could possess it besides that peerless Human Sovereign seated at the Myriad Domains Center?
How could one imagine that this Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord had actually brought the supreme Human Sovereign's decree? Did he represent the Supreme Human Sovereign?
Boom—
The golden edict was smooth and flawless, upon it written a single ancient character in flamboyant, dragon-and-phoenix style script—Sovereign!
The moment this character appeared, it immediately shook heaven and earth, wind and clouds changed color, as if that peerless Human Sovereign who presided over the rise and fall of the myriad realms from the Myriad Domains Center had arrived in person. An incomparable heavenly might of the Great Dao manifested; the myriad Daos of the heavens all submitted in this moment. Boundless supreme heavenly might erupted, charging towards the Heavenly Pass.
Simultaneously, the Human Sovereign Pagoda on Ye Chen's chest was stirred. At this moment, it actually began to glow and grow hot, as if wanting to break free and rush out from within his body, no longer under his control.
But a slight tremor from the Tianhuang within his body caused the Human Sovereign Pagoda to calm down.
Boom—
Boundless pressure surged overwhelmingly towards the Heavenly Pass, like an ancient Human Sovereign taking action to suppress the great terrors within the Heavenly Pass.
Those demonic figures, each towering to the highest reaches of the firmament, all roared. Ferocious might permeated, shattering the heavens. They were actually clashing with the Human Sovereign Decree. An enraged and shocked voice even rang out, "Impossible! How can there still be an Emperor in this world? They all..."
Before the words could be fully spoken, the Human Sovereign Decree suddenly bloomed with rays of boundless light, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The most powerful laws were unleashed, causing the entire ancient path to tremble and crack.
