Eternal Holy Emperor

The transmission channel was colorful, rapidly traversing through the endless space turbulence.

Due to the extremely distant location of the Ten Heavenly Realm, even reaching the next transit spot required considerable time. Therefore, Ye Chen and his three Supreme Heavenly Pride subordinates cultivated within the space channel.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the Chaos Tripod, surrounded by Chaos Ancient Energy. Four Great Holy Spirits appeared, along with the Five Elements Great World, various celestial phenomena and abnormal Dharma Forms manifesting around him, stern as a Supreme Emperor, deeply immersed in cultivation.

In his palm appeared nine giant Nine Heavens Profound Crystals, hunted from trial creatures of the nine high-level young Supreme level, with each crystal containing abundant Dao Essence to aid in Dao Enlightenment cultivation.

Especially these nine enormous Nine Heavens Profound Crystals, rich with strong Dao Rhythm flavor.

Even Ye Chen was quite tempted and decided to cultivate with them himself, without giving them to his three young Supreme subordinates.

There were numerous Emperor’s sons and daughters present in the Ten Heavenly Realm, each at the strongest young Supreme level, with considerable realms that would pressure even Ye Chen upon arrival.

He must enhance his strength before reaching the Ten Heavenly Realm.

Every moment was precious cultivation time.

And these nine Nine Heavens Profound Crystals were the best means.

He summoned a mouthful of Chaos Dao Fire, enveloping the first Nine Heavens Profound Crystal.

This Nine Heavens Profound Crystal was also the essence of a high-level young Supreme level trial creature, exceptionally hard even for Ye Chen to break open, requiring effort.

Forcible destruction could easily deplete the inner Dao Essence, rapid refining would cause similar loss.

Thus, Ye Chen was extremely cautious.

After an hour, the Nine Heavens Profound Crystal slowly began to melt under the fire. Two more hours passed, and it fully dissolved into a colorful liquid, thicker than a human head, shimmering with radiant light and blazing Dao Rhythm.

That was true Dao Essence, containing a trace of Dao Enlightenment left by that Supreme Emperor during their Mist Secret Realm trial, the Emperor Dao Enlightenment, materialized by supreme means, now shining brightly.

It was said that consuming and refining this Dao Essence would lead to enlightenment of the Emperor’s trace of understanding, a segment of Immortal Fate.

Ye Chen’s forehead glowed, with the Chaos Saint Soul diminutive Supreme God stepping out from the Mud Ball Palace, appearing before him, grasping the liquid Dao Essence and swallowing it.

Boom——

In an instant, Ye Chen’s Chaos Saint Soul diminutive body erupted with Infinite Light, that was Dao Light mixed with myriad Dao Divine Light, cascading down in threads, engulfing his being, echoing Dao sounds.

The Chaos Saint Soul diminutive flew back into Ye Chen’s forehead Mud Ball Palace, immersed in that Dao Realm, engaging in deeper enlightenment.

While Ye Chen refined the Nine Heavens Profound Crystal, his three Supreme Heavenly Pride subordinates worked on other levels of Nine Heavens Profound Crystals, also engulfed in enlightenment, releasing enslaved Great Powers and Heavenly Kings for protection.

Ye Chen’s enlightenment lasted a month, before concluding.

Upon awakening, Ye Chen felt his Dao deepening slightly.

Although slight, given Ye Chen’s current Dao at the Great Power Sixth Layer Heaven, considered top-tier among mortal world strong figures, the Dao was boundless. Deepening required decades to centuries of hard training but achieving this with just one Nine Heavens Profound Crystal was remarkable.

According to Ye Chen’s calculations, three high-grade young Supreme level Nine Heavens Profound Crystals could advance him from early to middle Sixth Layer Heaven, six could elevate to late stage.

Refining nine Nine Heavens Profound Crystals was enough to reach the peak of Sixth Layer Heaven, being only a step from Seventh Layer Heaven.

If luck favored, stepping into Seventh Layer Heaven wasn’t impossible.

This achievement could only come from nine high-level young Supreme Nine Heavens Profound Crystals; lesser ones, even from basic young Supreme level, wouldn’t suffice.

Before refining a second Nine Heavens Profound Crystal, the Yutian Sect transmission reached the next destination, another Trial Ancient City, with Ye Chen receiving the Hongtian City Lord’s token, proceeding to the next transmission directly.

As the distance was overly vast, even with space transmission channels, it took a year and half, so Ye Chen continued refining each Nine Heavens Profound Crystal.

His Dao deepened continually.

The Dao of his three Supreme Heavenly Pride subordinates also deepened persistently.

Three months later, Ye Chen reached the fifth transit station

which was also a Trial Ancient City.

But the Trial Ancient City had long been exhausted, an uninhabited Ancient City.

However, Ye Chen and his subordinates felt an ominous premonition, as now on the main path of Supreme Ancient Road, which should have been guarded by its Protectors, why was it deserted?

Observing closely, he found the Ancient City in disarray, numerous collapsed structures, blood scattered in the city, many stains appeared fresh, likely occurring not long ago.

This scene made Ye Chen’s heart tremble.

If he guessed correctly, perhaps this Trial Ancient City had been bloodbathed, even Protectors stationed here suffered similarly.

This speculation made Ye Chen pause, wondering who dared bloodbath the Trial Ancient City of the Supreme Ancient Road, boldly clashing with it?

Anyone capable of such acts couldn’t be ordinary, so Ye Chen avoided conflict, quickly moving with his three young Supremes toward the Ancient City, to locate the Yutian Sect gate leading to the Ten Heavenly Realm.

Boom——

On the route to finding the Yutian Sect gate, the sky suddenly darkened, boundless darkness came from all directions, enveloping the desolate Ancient Star.

At that moment, Ye Chen and his team realized the planet had long been occupied by a terrifying Star Beast, looking identical to the star, yet it was actually the terrifying Starry Sky Giant Beast, its colossal form masquerading as the star.

The boundless darkness was the Star Beast opening its bloody mouth, transforming into an abyss, engulfing the Trial Ancient City, consuming Ye Chen and his companions within.
