That's right, it was him.
The one who had manifested on the River of Time and withstood the gaze from the Mythical Era that overlooked the River of Time, and the peerless genius who had pursued him across the entire epoch, along with the supreme existence of the alien race.
By now, how could Ye Chen not know? Those supreme existences of the alien race, around whom the myriad stars revolved, who could make the River of Time boil, who could stand at the end of the previous epoch and gaze down—they were the Emperors and Sovereigns of the alien race.
Apart from such beings, who else could accomplish such feats? Even Sovereigns could not.
The causality involved with the River of Time was too immense. Even Sovereigns who touched it would perish, their Dao extinguished. Only the supreme Emperors and Sovereigns could fear nothing, overlooking past, present, and future, standing upon the River of Time, enduring the terrifying causality of disrupting spacetime to strike down figures from the future.
And that mysterious figure wreathed in chaotic energy, who could block an Emperor or Sovereign, who could command the River of Time, who could also intercept the Taboo Immortal Lightning that descended when Ye Chen pioneered the Chaos Dao—all of this, through intangible influence, proved he was a Mythical Emperor or Sovereign.
Ye Chen had also asked on the River of Time. The other's answer was vague, but from another perspective, wasn't that also confirmation?
The Mythical Emperors and Sovereigns had not completely vanished. This person was one of them.
Ye Chen had reason to believe that this mysterious Emperor or Sovereign knew the whereabouts of the other Emperors and Sovereigns, and whether the Primordial Immortal Realm existed.
It was just a pity that the River of Time was elusive and untraceable. The other party would not appear just because he wished it.
All these questions could only be temporarily hidden in his heart, to be asked another day.
He and the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor decisively left that place. At that moment, news came: someone had touched the Sovereign stone statue and entered the Ancient Divine Domain.
"Who?"
"Yuan Yao Divine King!"
It had to be said, this was astonishing news. Yuan Yao Divine King had actually surpassed everyone else to enter the Ancient Divine Domain first. It was shocking.
Even Ye Chen couldn't help but feel surprised and doubtful.
When they arrived before the divine statue in the hall, sure enough, Yuan Yao Divine King's figure was already gone.
The other Immortal True Kings were all in the hall, not having moved.
Furthermore, a large crowd was continuously trying to withstand the Great Dao's hand and touch the statue.
Unfortunately, no one succeeded. On the contrary, each one suffered terrible injuries.
Ye Chen frowned. This Yuan Yao Divine King was indeed extraordinary, actually entering the Ancient Divine Domain a step ahead of the others.
"The Divine says, disperse!"
Will also moved. His entire body surged with Primordial Holy Light, like a deity of light descending to the mortal world, charging in.
Boom—
The massive Great Dao's hand instantly descended upon him.
The moment the Great Dao's hand appeared, he directly employed the Divine Language law. An eerie law fluctuation instantly spread out.
Although it couldn't truly make the Great Dao's hand disperse, it was, after all, a secret technique created by a Supreme One of the Mythical Era. It caused the Great Dao's hand to pause slightly.
Seizing this moment, Will's speed suddenly increased dramatically. In an instant, he charged toward the statue. The moment his hand touched it, his entire person vanished, entering the Ancient Divine Domain.
At the same time, the other Immortal True Kings and Saint Realm Kings all took action, charging over, each displaying their divine might.
"Let's go too."
Ye Chen spoke, taking the shrunken Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and charging straight over.
Facing the Great Dao's hand that suddenly descended from the sky, he executed the Battle God Seal, undergoing Extreme Sublimation in an instant. His entire aura suddenly soared several times over. Swinging the Heaven-Shaking Palm upward, he blocked the Great Dao's hand, forcing it to halt.
Swish—
His speed surged abruptly, instantly surpassing the ordinary and the logical, arriving before the Sovereign divine statue. One hand touched the statue.
Whoosh—
A stream of light flashed, and Ye Chen directly vanished.
The next moment, Ye Chen and the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor suddenly appeared in a strange, entirely new world.
The Ancient Divine Domain!
It had to be said, this was a magnificent world, infinitely vast, truly difficult to fathom how immense and boundless it was.
As far as the eye could see, towering mountain ranges and great peaks stood before them, stretching for who knew how many tens of thousands of miles, all soaring into the clouds, thousands upon thousands of zhang high.
Within the primordial forests, wondrous fruits and plants appeared from time to time, among which were many exotic grasses emitting faint, clear fragrances. A closer look revealed they were all Heaven and Earth Treasures.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was unprecedentedly abundant. Occasionally, one could even see mist formed from spiritual energy drifting and steaming.
Ye Chen marveled. This was indeed a treasure land.
Suddenly, the entire Huang Gu forest darkened. Looking up, they saw a divine bird traversing the sky.
It was a roc, its feathers a brilliant divine gold, as if cast from Nine Tribulations Gold, shimmering with dazzling golden radiance under the sun's illumination. But beneath it was a patch of darkness, like a shadow cast by a lamp.
Its wings were like hanging clouds. The moment they spread, they truly blotted out the sky and sun, casting a vast shadow upon the earth, as if night had fallen.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, a gleam of light flashing within. What an Ancient Divine Domain! Upon entering, they had already encountered such a colossal divine bird traversing the sky. At the very least, it was at the Saint Treasury Realm, possibly even stronger.
Moreover, in the distant sky, several enormous Divine Eagles spread their wings. Though not comparable to this golden-feathered roc, they were still extraordinary, massive, and quite fearsome.
Suddenly, mountains crumbled and the earth split. In the distance, a great mountain rumbled with a deafening roar, suddenly beginning to tremble.
When Ye Chen truly got a clear look, he realized this wasn't a real mountain at all, but an astonishingly huge divine turtle. It had been slumbering here for who knew how many years, to the point where its turtle shell had transformed into a mountain peak, with forests and ridges layered upon it, incredibly majestic.
A massive Divine Eagle swept past in the sky. But at that moment, the divine turtle opened its colossal mouth, suddenly generating a terrifying hurricane that acted upon the Divine Eagle. The clouds of the heavens seemed about to be sucked down, the void itself was torn open—truly fearsome.
The Divine Eagle struggled desperately, but the suction force of that hurricane was too horrifying. In the end, it was pulled down, seized by the divine turtle's gaping maw. Bones and flesh were crushed, and it was swallowed whole.
Not long after, Ye Chen saw a thick mountain range suddenly take flight. Countless trees and giant rocks fell, dust soaring into the sky. The enormous mountain range charged directly toward the firmament, emanating an endless, ferocious aura.
Had the mountain range gained sentience?
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor was stunned, but Ye Chen saw clearly. It wasn't a mountain range at all, but a giant azure serpent, as thick as a mountain range, winding and massive, riding clouds and mists, clearly possessing the posture of transforming into a dragon.
It could even transform into a dragon. Its dragon blood aura was not inferior to that of a demonic flood dragon. Like the divine turtle, it had also slumbered for who knew how many years, its body covered in soil, with many ancient trees growing upon it.
Finally, it soared into the sky, riding clouds and mists, charging into the clouds.
