"The master of the Dark Night Sovereign and the Sun Sovereign!?" Ye Chen revealed a look of shock.
Even disregarding everything else, that title alone was enough to shake the world. A figure capable of teaching two peerless Sovereigns could never be ordinary; he was absolutely a supreme existence of his generation.
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, for once, wasn't grinning cheekily. On the contrary, his expression was unusually grave and solemn. "Naturally. A person who could teach the two Sovereigns of Yin and Yang must be terrifying, for he was a true mythical Emperor and Sovereign."
Even though he had already suspected as much, hearing it confirmed, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a tremor of awe.
To speak of a mythical Emperor and Sovereign—those two simple words were enough to weigh down all eternity, capable of contending with the Heavenly Dao, the highest existence in the world, unsurpassable.
Only such an existence would have the qualification to teach two mythical Sovereigns as disciples, demonstrating the supreme majesty of an Emperor and Sovereign.
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor looked at Ye Chen and suddenly said, "Little Moon, once you enter the Ancient God Domain, you must seize the opportunity. If possible, try to obtain the legacy within. If it truly is the legacy left behind by the master of the two Sovereigns, it would offer indescribable assistance to your Chaos Dao."
"Why?" Though he asked, a startling thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind. Could it be that he was...
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor gazed into the distance at Dark Night City and slowly said, "During the Mythical Epoch, it wasn't as if no one attempted the Chaos Dao, seeking to tread the true path, to advance a hundred feet on a ten-foot pole, to become the most powerful Chaos Emperor and Sovereign. That person was the master of the two Sovereigns—Tai Sheng Huang!"
Tai Sheng Huang, the most powerful figure in the mortal world, a mythical Emperor and Sovereign, the supreme existence of antiquity who taught the Sun Sovereign and the Dark Night Sovereign, the two Sovereigns.
In the past, he was also a supreme figure who attempted the Chaos Dao.
So it was indeed as he thought. Ye Chen had also heard of Tai Sheng Huang. Even though the Mythical Epoch was severed, who in this world could forget such a figure? His existence was indelible!
How many mythical Emperors and Sovereigns were there? They could be counted on one's fingers, shaking the ancient and illuminating the present.
"Then, did he succeed?" Ye Chen couldn't help but ask. This kind of information, bordering on secret history, was known to very few.
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor shook his head and sighed softly. "If Tai Sheng Huang had succeeded, the Forbidden Immortal Thunder wouldn't have descended when you tread the Chaos Dao. Throughout history, attacks and punishments only target the first person to touch a forbidden path."
"Is that so?" Ye Chen felt both joy and disappointment.
He was joyful because he was the first, in the true sense, to set foot on the Chaos Dao. If he grew and perfected it in the future, he would gain indescribable benefits, just like the first to break through the Tenth Heavenly Layer, receiving immense fortune bestowed upon him.
He was disappointed because even an Emperor and Sovereign like Tai Sheng Huang couldn't complete this path. His own hopes were even slimmer; the road ahead was quite uncertain.
"Although Tai Sheng Huang didn't truly take that final step in the past, he wasn't far off—just a hair's breadth away. It can be said he delved into the Chaos Dao for many years, possessing extremely profound insights into it and a wealth of experience regarding the Chaos Dao."
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor continued, "If you can obtain his legacy, even just a small part, it would offer indescribable benefits for perfecting your Chaos Dao. It could assist you greatly, making the path less arduous."
Ye Chen nodded. Tai Sheng Huang was a figure who, in the past, was just a hair's breadth away from achieving the Chaos Dao. Moreover, after attaining the status of Emperor and Sovereign, he continued to research this path. His understanding of Chaos was countless times deeper than Ye Chen's.
If he could obtain Tai Sheng Huang's legacy, it would indeed bring him indescribable, endless benefits.
"Little Moon, if possible, try to obtain that stone tablet as well. If I'm not mistaken, it might be a secret treasure left by Tai Sheng Huang, related to his legacy." Finally, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor added this remark.
Ye Chen didn't reply, but his gaze was unusually bright.
After subduing the great bandit Wang Tian, Ye Chen settled in Wind Heaven City. He didn't rest or cultivate in the luxurious palace halls arranged by Wang Tian. Instead, day and night, he sat cross-legged on the towering city walls, his gaze always fixed on the majestic ancient city of Dark Night standing in the distance. His gaze never dimmed, not blinking once.
His gaze was profound, not resembling that of a young Heaven's Pride talent, but more like an ancient fossil who had seen through the vicissitudes of countless eons, reflecting Dark Night City within.
The longer he stared at Dark Night City, the more he perceived the extraordinary nature of this mythical ancient city built by the Dark Night Sovereign. Especially when night fell, it was as if a mythical ancient beast had awakened, opening its bloody maw, swallowing and exhaling the radiance of the stars, releasing powerful fluctuations of blood qi.
It didn't seem like an ancient city, but more like a gigantic living entity, truly unique and extraordinary.
Some related unofficial histories recounted that Dark Night City was the place where the Dark Night Sovereign passed away. But perhaps the Dark Night Sovereign never truly perished, merging completely with Dark Night City, slumbering in hibernation, destined to awaken one day.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen had already been settled in Wind Heaven City for half a month, remaining seated motionless, either cultivating in stillness or gazing at Dark Night City.
During these days, the great bandit Wang Tian continuously led his bandit troops to search for the legendary secret treasure stone tablet.
However, after half a month, they had found nothing.
Moreover, according to the news obtained, other great bandits had also taken action without success. Whether someone had obtained it and secretly hidden it away remained unknown.
Ye Chen didn't mind. On the contrary, he had Wang Tian pay attention to news about the Dragon Phoenix Academy for him. Every day, the latest intelligence regarding the Dragon Phoenix Academy was delivered to him.
Furthermore, during this period, the Plunder Heaven Plains suddenly saw the arrival of many young Heaven's Pride prodigies and monsters. Each was so extraordinary, their cultivation quite impressive. Most were dominating figures at Divine Transformation Fifth Heavenly Layer or above. There were many Super Divine Transformation and even Peak Divine Transformation cultivators, some Half-Saints, and even a few young Heaven's Pride talents who had actually reached the Saint realm.
The sudden descent of so many super-powerful individuals onto the Plunder Heaven Plains directly threw the entire region into a state of alarm and tension, where every rustle in the grass seemed like an enemy.
It went without saying that these people must be the Myriad Realms Heaven's Pride talents from the Dragon Phoenix Academy.
Otherwise, how could so many prodigies and monsters appear all at once?
Among them, many joined the mercenary groups of various towns in the peaceful zones to escort merchant caravans for experience. Some wandered the Plunder Heaven Plains alone, clearly preparing for the Dark Night Siege Battle.
How could they miss such a grand event that occurred once every hundred thousand years? No one was willing to give up the divine legacy within the Ancient God Domain.
It was even rumored that several extremely terrifying figures had appeared in the Plunder Heaven Plains, terrifying beyond description, charging into the region with an unstoppable, domineering momentum.
