The heroes were excited, even the Heavenly Kings were filled with agitation. Throughout the ages, only a Great Power-level ancient Palace Master had ever successfully crossed the Chaotic Sea, and now they had finally succeeded as well.
One by one, they stood tall in the heavens, ascending to gaze afar. Their eyes looked into the distance, seeing for thousands of miles, overlooking the world, gazing at that ancient continent with countless mysterious legends.
They had not yet approached, separated by tens of thousands of miles, but from afar they could already feel a vast, primal, ancient aura assailing their faces. It carried a special kind of pressure, originating from the soul and the Primordial Spirit, as if deep within that boundless continent, an ancient Great Emperor lay dormant.
The Ancient Emperor Continent!
"Truly worthy of being the legendary Ancient Emperor Continent, so vast and boundless. Although the Ancient Divine Continent is large, it probably doesn't even compare to half of the Ancient Emperor Continent," the heroes all exclaimed in awe, fully able to perceive the vastness of the Ancient Emperor Continent.
It wasn't through divine sense probing—they couldn't probe the vastness of the Ancient Emperor Continent anyway—but rather from that special aura, far more magnificent than that of the Ancient Divine Continent.
Ye Chen was also silently sensing it. Under his perception, he could fully feel a vast, primal, ancient aura radiating, appearing magnificent and boundless, unreachable.
When he first descended upon the Ancient Divine Continent, he had also sensed a special continental aura, but it truly couldn't be compared to the Ancient Emperor Continent.
Even the Gu Lan Continent he controlled was large enough, but compared to the Ancient Emperor Continent, it was completely not on the same level.
"Mythical Emperors and Sovereigns, such great supreme existences. Their methods are naturally extraordinary, capable of opening up such a great Ancient Emperor Realm."
"It is rumored that the Ancient Emperor Continent is even said to be the place where the ancient Great Emperor passed away, possessing his supreme inheritance, the medicine of immortality, great existences that overlook past and future, and immeasurable immortal treasures."
Overlord after overlord kept exclaiming in wonder. Even Heavenly Kings couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, yet they also felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, originating precisely from the Ancient Emperor Continent.
However, the other Immortal True Kings had even more brilliant gazes, shooting forth substantialized beams of light, gazing at the Ancient Emperor Continent with a hint of fervor.
Because they all deeply understood one point: the thing they had always wanted to obtain was right there on the Ancient Emperor Continent.
That was the supreme inheritance, the ultimate legacy of the ancient Great Emperor.
"Everyone, do not be careless. The Ancient Emperor Continent is far from being as simple as imagined." The one who spoke was the First Elder, the number one Heavenly King of the Ancient Divine Palace. Ye Chen clearly saw a faint flicker in his eyes, as if he knew some very important secrets, causing Ye Chen's heart to sink slightly.
He understood that regarding some of the secrets about the Ancient Emperor Continent, the Ancient Divine Palace Master had ultimately not fully disclosed many secrets; there were still some important ones he hadn't told him.
Ye Chen suddenly asked, "What is the Ancient Emperor Continent like?"
"What is the Ancient Emperor Continent like..." The First Elder suddenly fell silent. Only after a long time did he answer, "The Ancient Emperor Continent is as the rumors say: vast and boundless, ancient and primordial. It has existences that overlook past and future, the immortal medicine of immortality, the descendants of Emperors and Sovereigns. More importantly, there, a door was left behind."
"A door that once buried everything, when a bloody calamity blotted out the heavens, living beings suffered, and even immortals decayed and perished..."
Ye Chen was taken aback. Judging by the First Elder's tone, the Ancient Emperor Continent seemed to hold endless secrets. Especially that last sentence—the door that buried everything. For some reason, upon hearing it, he felt a bone-chilling, eerie coldness rise from within his heart.
What kind of door was that mysterious door?
Suddenly, he remembered the mural in the Dark Night Ancient Hall, that mysterious door at the end of the River of Time.
Once they reached the peaceful sea region, the First Elder immediately put away the Great Power-level ancient ship. Otherwise, the target would be too big and easily noticed.
The heroes all flew through the void, looking around along the way, somewhat like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.
And from afar, they could already feel the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, even denser than that of the Ancient Divine Continent.
They had originally thought there might be strong beings like holy knights guarding this sea region, preventing foreign powerhouses from setting foot on the Ancient Emperor Continent. But contrary to expectations, there was nothing. The path ahead was smooth and unobstructed, leading straight to the Ancient Emperor Continent.
Finally, the heroes set foot on a corner of the Ancient Emperor Continent. They didn't know which region it was. The moment they stepped onto the land, they felt the entire world filled with a rolling, surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth, incredibly dense, twice as dense as that of the Ancient Divine Continent.
It also made them feel an indescribable sense of solidity, as if this vast, boundless land could never be destroyed.
Upon reaching the Ancient Divine Continent, Ye Chen's heart, which had been so eager to see Chen'er and the others again, actually calmed down instead. He knew that with their means, they wouldn't be in danger for the time being.
However, everything before them was different from the imagined prosperous and flourishing Ancient Emperor Continent. Unexpectedly, the Ancient Emperor Continent was a vast expanse of wild, uninhabited mountains, everywhere desolate and devoid of human traces, clearly a place cut off from the world.
"Ten suns!?"
Everyone was shocked as they looked up at the ten suns traversing the heavens and earth, illuminating the entire Ancient Emperor Continent.
And what was most astonishing was that these ten suns were all extraordinary, faintly resonating strangely with the ninth heavens within the bodies of the heroes.
Especially Ye Chen, whose Tenth Heaven was also resonating.
Particularly the tenth sun made the Tenth Heaven within his body feel an unprecedented sense of resonance.
On his body, the Ten Heavens divine nature halo appeared autonomously, with brilliant divine radiance of the Great Dao overflowing, sublimating his entire physique, shining dazzlingly.
He could feel that this was a greatly beneficial resonance. Only on this Ancient Emperor Continent could he feel the resonance of the Tenth Heaven so clearly, giving him a comfortable feeling.
It was as if some kind of restraint on his body had been released, and now he felt light and free.
It was also like when he first entered the Void Heaven Domain—the same ten heavenly suns, the same resonance.
The ten heavenly suns seemed to represent the Ten Heavens.
The other Immortal True Kings all showed expressions of astonishment. They also discovered this astonishing phenomenon one after another. When they saw the Battle Saint King's divine and miraculous scene, their expressions became even more complex.
This Ancient Emperor Continent was becoming increasingly mysterious.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen sighed softly. If it were any other place, he would definitely take the time to meditate and cultivate properly. But having just arrived on the Ancient Emperor Continent, he wasn't allowed to do so.
The heroes all suppressed that mysterious sense of resonance within their bodies and continued onward.
Along the way, they didn't discover any towns or settlements where cultivators gathered. On the contrary, everywhere was a vast expanse of wild, uninhabited mountains. Towering mountains and great peaks reaching into the clouds covered this primal land, isolated from the world, stretching for who knows how many tens of thousands of miles.
Strange, bizarre. Could the Ancient Emperor Continent really be like this?
Everyone was suspicious and surprised. This was very different from the imagined Ancient Emperor Continent.
