When Ye Chen saw this passage of ancient script, astonishment was the only expression on his face.
Yi Wu!?
How could it be such an identical name?
However, that was the Palace Master of the Ancient Divine Palace from the Primordial Times, at least a million years ago, an extremely distant past. It was probably just a coincidence.
But then he thought of his future self, a peerless Supreme One who personally sent his deceased relatives and old friends onto the River of Time. He suspected that the future Yi Wu might have been sent to the Primordial Times and lost in the Ancient Emperor Realm.
Whether it was because of Yi Wu's future self or because of some legacy words his future self left with the future Yi Wu, he had to go to the Ancient Emperor Continent to understand the truth.
Later, Ye Chen had tried to infiltrate the Tian Xu Imperial Palace to learn more secrets.
Since these faction strongholds held corresponding secrets, then the Tian Xu Empire, being one of the ancient imperial dynasties, naturally possessed more secrets about the Ancient Divine Continent.
But he found it very difficult. Even someone as powerful as him could hardly manage it because the entire imperial palace was enveloped in a powerful formation—a Heavenly King-level formation that operated constantly. Moreover, he sensed terrifying auras at the Heavenly King realm.
It was precisely for this reason that Ye Chen halted his advance.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, the Ancient Divine Palace had indeed issued a corresponding decree, actually announcing a reconciliation with the great demons and ordering all major powers across the world to cease their pursuit of the great demons.
The moment this decree was issued, it immediately caused a boiling uproar across the entire Ancient Divine Continent, with various voices of opposition ringing out incessantly.
Even though the Ancient Divine Palace, the transcendent supreme power above all, personally announced the decree, it could hardly quell the anger of the entire Ancient Divine Continent.
Because over the past two years, in order to exterminate these great demons, the various major powers had paid unimaginable prices. Several major powers had even been completely uprooted by the vicious great demons, with rivers of blood flowing and irreconcilable feuds formed.
All the major powers across the world forcefully demanded that the pursuit must continue to the end.
However, once the decree was announced, the nine ancient imperial dynasties, which had always acted as the vanguard for the world, all fell silent at the same time, leaving the world stunned. This was somewhat unusual.
But then, when someone—no one knew who—spread the information about the battle outside the domain, and recording crystals circulated across the world, it immediately caused an immense uproar, with more of it being sheer astonishment.
Because among the more than fifty Saints gathered by the Ancient Divine Continent, aside from Li Xuan of the Ancient Divine Palace and the Saint Lords of the seven imperial dynasties, all the others—including the three Saint Lords—had been exterminated by the legendary great demon Qian Yue.
Such information was simply too shocking, truly unprecedented.
Sure enough, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves, causing a massive tremor. The voices from countless powers clamoring for continued pursuit gradually fell silent, and the world's understanding of these great demons deepened another layer.
Each great demon was comparable to a Saint Lord-level existence, and the most terrifying one, the great demon Qian Yue, was an invincible existence that slaughtered Saint Lords. Moreover, and more importantly, they were not from the other side of the Chaotic Sea but from the more magnificent myriad realms, descending once every hundred thousand years.
From then on, everyone knew the true identity of the so-called great demons. They were not demons from the other side of the Chaotic Sea; on the contrary, they came from an even more powerful great world, each with extraordinary backgrounds and terrifying strength.
The voices of resistance immediately decreased significantly. Even the Crown Princes of the imperial dynasties on the Ancient Divine Continent dared not clamor to pursue these great demons.
Furthermore, during this period, the Primordial Demon God and other peerless True Kings had each carved out unparalleled ferocious reputations, slaughtering across regions, sweeping through hundreds of thousands of miles, and uprooting many powers. Even the most powerful Saint ancestors were not a match for a single blow.
When many people witnessed the Saint ancestors, who in their minds belonged only to legend and were like deities, being forced out by these great demons, and no matter how earth-shattering their divine might was displayed, the other party would directly slap them into a bloody mist, leaving nothing behind, the astonishment in their hearts was indescribable.
Several superpowers second only to the ancient imperial dynasties had been the most vocal in their clamor. Afterwards, when these True Kings directly forced their way to their doors, slaughtering in all directions, causing countless casualties and heavy losses, they were unable to keep these great demons and ultimately fell silent.
All of this demonstrated the immense strength of these peerless True Kings from the myriad realms, making them impossible to resist.
Even the Ancient Divine Palace did not step forward, and the nine ancient imperial dynasties remained silent. How could the other powers on the Ancient Divine Continent not understand the true situation? They all wisely protected themselves and fell silent one after another.
For a time, the various True Kings, who had previously been hunted like rats scurrying across the continent, were now regarded with all sorts of awe and reverence by the world, and no one dared to provoke them anymore.
At the same time, the originally glorious and attention-grabbing competition among the younger generation had its brilliance significantly diminished and faded.
However, it must be said that the most intense competition among the younger generation in the history of the Ancient Divine Continent was nearing its end.
Sure enough, the Crown Prince heirs of the nine ancient imperial dynasties had emerged, and several rising stars from the Ancient Divine Continent had also appeared, not inferior to these imperial heirs. Each was exceptionally talented and incredibly powerful, engaging in earth-shattering clashes and confrontations.
It was believed that before long, the number one would truly be decided through combat.
And the number one would enter the Ancient Divine Palace and obtain the legendary Mythical Crown.
But all of this had nothing to do with Ye Chen, because aside from some interest in the Mythical Crown, he simply looked down upon the so-called competition.
On this day, Ye Chen suddenly appeared above the imperial capital, revealing his true identity. The boundless Saint King might swept across the entire Tian Xu Imperial Capital, sweeping through the heavens, scattering layers of clouds, startling the entire Tian Xu Imperial Capital and even the entire Tian Xu Empire and the Ancient Divine Continent.
The invincible first great demon, the Battle Saint King, had forcefully appeared, descending upon the Tian Xu Imperial Capital. What was he planning to do?
Was he going to attack the Tian Xu Empire?
No one knew. They only knew that the entire Tian Xu Empire was on high alert. From the magnificent imperial palace, streaks of blood energy dragons soared straight into the heavens, piercing through the firmament.
Those were the experts of the imperial family emerging one after another, standing tall in the sky.
Even some old monsters who had been dormant and secluded emerged from their stone chambers, looking with apprehension at the heroic and peerless young Supreme One above the Tian Xu Empire.
Everyone could sense the vast, abyssal blood energy faintly emanating from the young figure in the sky, its pressure bearing down on the heavens.
