The strange and mysterious figure suspected to be Old Yan had truly appeared, standing out even on the ancient ship vast enough to swallow worlds and heavens.
He had appeared again.
Ye Chen felt both shock and joy. For this figure who bore an uncanny resemblance to Old Yan, he always harbored a special sense of familiarity.
Perhaps it was because he was the suspected Old Yan, a person so incredibly similar to Old Yan.
Ye Chen felt a pang of sorrow. After Old Yan left, he had never reappeared. The emergence of this suspected Old Yan naturally made him feel exceptionally close.
But the next moment, the suspected Old Yan vanished, as if he had never been there. No matter how hard Ye Chen strained his eyes, he could not see the figure of the suspected Old Yan.
It was more like a fleeting glimpse.
He stared blankly into the distance.
The mysterious Ship That Slays Immortals, carrying its terrifying cosmic remnant image, continued to sail through the Chaotic Sea along an irregular route, filled with eeriness and ominousness.
Faintly, within that cosmic remnant image, one could see a colossal True Dragon lying across the dim starry ruins, with all the stars of the heavens extinguished and dragon blood splattered across the cosmos.
There were also countless corpses drifting in the shattered universe, with only the largest ancient ship manifesting in the mortal world.
All the heroes sighed with emotion, wondering what kind of great battle this Ship That Slays Immortals had experienced in the past to end up in such a state.
Regarding the origins of the Ship That Slays Immortals, even the Heavenly Kings of this realm knew little. However, Ye Chen noticed that the Ten Thousand Domains True Kings like Yuan Yao Divine King, Sun God, and Ye Gucheng all had flickering gazes. Clearly, these True Kings from supreme sacred lands and even Emperor and Sovereign clans knew some related origins.
Ye Chen strode over, approaching Ye Gucheng and Cang Jitian, with whom he was most familiar, and also handed a Mother Queen limb he had temporarily collected during battle to the Angel Crown Prince Noxius, asking them about the secrets of the Ship That Slays Immortals.
The answer he received was exactly as the suspected Old Yan had said: the Ship That Slays Immortals was indeed the result of an entire universe mobilizing the strength of an era to attack the Primordial Immortal Realm, ultimately failing and causing a tragic disaster.
However, whether it was Ye Gucheng or Noxius, both born from Emperor and Sovereign clans with extraordinary bloodlines, they knew more.
According to scattered records from ancient ancestors' lost texts, the Ship That Slays Immortals was the work of the ruler of that universe. It was said that it wasn't just about attacking the Primordial Immortal Realm; it also involved some of the most ancient secrets related to the rule of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
The so-called 'seeking the Dao to find immortals' seemed to involve the origin place of the immortal realm and more.
In short, the origins of the Ship That Slays Immortals were overwhelmingly profound. Only the Emperor and Sovereign clans knew some secrets, but those who truly knew everything were probably only the Emperors and Sovereigns themselves.
Ye Gucheng said, "If you have time someday, you can visit the clan. With your status, many high-ranking figures in the clan would surely be willing to answer your questions."
Wasn't that true?
Battle Saint King, the invincible young generation's supreme, a future supreme powerhouse destined to dominate the world—even the Ye Clan, an Emperor and Sovereign clan, held extremely high hopes for his future.
Ye Chen smiled slightly, offering no reply.
The Great Power-level ancient ship ultimately sailed far around the Ship That Slays Immortals, not daring to approach in the slightest. Everyone on board dared not get close, fearing to be tainted by even a hint of its ominousness.
The Ship That Slays Immortals gradually faded into the distance. Ye Chen kept gazing into the far distance, but unfortunately, he never found the figure of the suspected Old Yan again, leaving him somewhat regretful.
Suddenly, Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine!
Because right on the deck of the Ship That Slays Immortals, within the ethereal black mist, a figure suddenly appeared. It wore ancient battle armor, with disheveled hair, standing there woodenly, gazing distantly at the Great Power-level ancient ship. Its eyes, like ghostly light, stared unblinkingly in this direction, appearing utterly eerie.
Not only did he see it, but all the other heroes who were also focused on the Ship That Slays Immortals witnessed this scene. Each one was terrified, their faces turning deathly pale.
Even Heavenly Kings felt their scalps tingle.
Because this situation was too sinister and bizarre. An ominous living being had appeared on the ominous Ship That Slays Immortals, staring at them with a chilling gaze—it was as terrifying as could be. Even though everyone present was a true super powerhouse, they couldn't help but feel fear.
Finally, that mysterious figure gradually faded away along with the Ship That Slays Immortals, leaving behind only an eerie visage.
After the experience with the Ship That Slays Immortals, the journey remained peaceful and uneventful. Gradually, they crossed the entire Chaotic Sea. Two days later, when they saw the dazzling light in the distance compared to the dark chaos here—a calm, vast ocean—everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the most difficult part, the Chaotic Sea, had finally been crossed.
Even the potential encounter with the alien race that Ye Chen had anticipated did not occur.
During this period, if not for the Great Power-level ancient ship and the presence of thirteen Heavenly King-level existences, how could they have remained so safe and sound?
"Everyone, please remain vigilant. Do not relax at this final juncture. Until we reach the Ancient Emperor Continent, we cannot truly let our guard down," Ye Chen spoke up at this moment, reminding the heroes.
The heroes immediately perked up, understanding that they absolutely must not relax at the final moment. Until they reached the Ancient Emperor Continent, they could not truly relax for even a moment.
The ancient ship continued sailing, and the journey remained peaceful and uneventful. However, at the boundary between the Chaotic Sea and the calm ocean, the Great Power-level ancient ship was blocked, generating ripples of waves that continuously spread out.
"What's happening?"
"We're blocked. There's an invisible Dao barrier at the boundary between the Chaotic Sea and the Ancient Emperor Continent's sea area, preventing the ship from proceeding."
The heroes all took action, attacking the invisible barrier, but unfortunately, they were all blocked.
Even a Heavenly King made a move, unleashing a streak of energy to sweep over and strike, but it was still blocked, unable to break through.
This caused all the heroes to change expressions. Could it be that at this final moment, such a change occurred, driving them to despair?
However, when Ye Chen took action and unleashed a streak of divine radiance, everything changed again. Because his attack actually passed through very easily, and so did the attacks of the other Ten Thousand Domains True Kings.
This completely different change left everyone present somewhat stunned. After experimenting a few times, everyone finally understood: the Chaotic Sea blocked the powerhouses from the Ancient God Continent but could not block those from the myriad realms, who could come and go freely.
No wonder throughout history, even some powerful Heavenly Kings were said to have gone and never returned. It was unknown who had set up this barrier that could block even Heavenly Kings.
The Great Power-level palace master from the ancient era likely relied on absolute strength to eventually go and return.
Ye Chen hesitated no longer. He stored the Great Power-level ancient ship into his spatial magical instrument, not daring to store it within his internal space.
Finally, he indeed easily passed through that barrier and successfully brought the Great Power-level ancient ship out.
Having completely crossed the Chaotic Sea, ahead lay a brilliant ocean, sparkling and shimmering, so peaceful compared to the Chaotic Sea.
The tension and anxiety along the journey finally eased. Even the Heavenly Kings, who had been on edge for so many days, could finally relax.
Ahead lay the Ancient Emperor Continent.
Ye Chen climbed high to gaze into the distance, his heart boiling. Chen'er, Jingruo, Yi Wu, Ruoxi, Yaya—I'm coming.
