Chapter 161: Chapter 146 Disturbing the Divine (Third Update)

The Tiandu Continent is vast and enormous, filled with countless dynasties, sects, and forces of various sizes, totaling 108 Countries, and even more other forces as numerous as the stars in the sky.

On this vast continent, almost every year, some dynasties and sects are destroyed and fall from glory to decline. New dynasties and sects also arise, beginning new legends.

Here, the law of the jungle is played out to its extreme, and only those with the strongest fists can survive.

However, no matter the strife among these dynasties and sects, no matter how chaotic the continent becomes, or how the blood flows for thousands of miles, the vast and fertile Central Land at the center of the continent remains prosperous and stable as always. Its people live in peace and happiness, surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers, resembling a paradise on earth.

This domain is always free from the overt invasion of other forces, who keep their distance and dare not let the shadow of war fall upon its territory.

Because the ones occupying this vast domain are none other than the Three Great Empires and University—these super forces with a heritage of tens of thousands of years.

People all understand how terrifying the power of these super forces, the Three Great Empires, and University, can be. Even the 108 Countries, no matter how powerful, would turn to ash in an instant, becoming mere history on the Tiandu Continent.

At this moment, in the eastern part of the Central Land, lies the Tianqi Empire of the Three Great Empires.

Deep within the Tianqi Empire’s imperial palace, there stands an imposing ancient hall, which can’t compare to the surrounding glittering, extravagant palaces and towers in splendor but exudes an air of antiquity and the vicissitudes of time, along with an elusive, supreme oppression.

Even the contemporary sovereign of the land, the ruler of the world’s rise and fall, must show a respectful demeanor when coming to this place, and dare not disturb the existence inside.

Because inside the ancient hall is the seclusion spot of the supreme Divine of the entire Tianqi Empire and even the entire Tiandu Continent who does not tolerate any offense.

At this moment, in the innermost depths of the ancient hall, an open space exists with a vague figure seated cross-legged in the center, as if merged with the Heaven and Earth Dao, covered in Dao Traces and seemingly nonexistent in this world.

What’s more surprising is that this person is sealed within a huge piece of ice crystal. If Ye Chen were here, he would surely recognize that this was a fragment of the World Heart. The supreme Divine Ancestor of the Tianqi Empire was actually sealed inside a fragment of the World Heart, preventing the traces of time from affecting him.

Throughout the years, this Divine Ancestor has been slumbering in the World Heart Fragment to maintain his peak state, waiting for the upcoming Heaven Punishment battle.

Now, he had also heard of the news from the Trial Road and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "A 17-year-old Martial God expert? This Ye Chen truly is an extraordinary youth. To break and then establish anew, reaching this step in just a mere year, such fortune is indeed beyond imagination. Even I did not achieve this at his age."

"Hmm, and to join the Trial Road midway, apart from another Divine, no one should be able to do so. I heard that Hongtian has a good relationship with this youngster. Could it have been him who helped?"

"No matter how one puts it, this youth already possesses all necessary conditions to walk the King’s Ancient Road. Perhaps this time he’ll have the opportunity to join the extraordinary talents from other continents and reach the key points of the Ancient Road, exploring its deepest mysteries."

"That Ancient Road is very mysterious; rumors say that at the end one can leave this world, but it has not been confirmed. Moreover, the King’s Ancient Road is extraordinary; no one over thirty years of age can enter, and even we would have to pay a considerable price. This time, let’s just watch these young talents to see if they can reach the end; otherwise, no matter the price, we will have to see the end of the road for ourselves."

As the voice of the supreme ancestor of the Tianqi Empire fell, a shocking mystery was revealed.

At the same time, in the ancient halls of the Jiuhua Empire, Soaring Dragon Empire, and within the worship temples of the Martial God Temple’s Divine Ancestors, ripples of disturbance also spread at the news of Ye Chen’s emergence.

Far away, in the Demon Beast Mountain Range of Xiafeng Country, beneath the Hongtian Divine Mountain and within an ancient hall.

The Hongtian Great Saint sat on the Divine Throne; upon hearing the various rumors from the outside world about Ye Chen, his palm flicked through the void, tearing it open with a swish as if it were as fragile as paper.

His gaze seemed distant, piercing through the endless void, looking through the Space of Plane, and settled on the drifting Trial World for a long time before he finally gave a slight smile, "Worthy of being Mr. Qian’s disciple, truly remarkable. If he weren’t his disciple, such a promising talent, I’d want to take him as my own. It’s likely, without any doubt, that becoming a Heavenly God is inevitable for him, and even surpassing a Heavenly God is a high possibility, likely more so than those destined to be Divine."

After a momentary contemplation, he continued, "What a pity, he’s Mr. Qian’s disciple. This Mr. Qian is quite mysterious; to this day, I cannot see through his identity, and it’s possible he’s from beyond the continent. However, swearing an oath to the Heavenly Dao indicates he means no harm to the Tiandu Continent. If he could partake in the Heaven Punishment battle, the chances of success would greatly increase. It’s just a shame that Mr. Qian may not be willing."

"Well then, let it be. If he does not interfere, so be it. Everything depends on fate, after all. However, this Ye Chen, I do hope he can enter the King’s Ancient Road. There were rumors he had entered the King’s Ancient Road before, but was crippled in his Dantian, thus leaving the Ancient Road. This time, I hope he can enter again and explore the deepest secrets of the Ancient Road."

In the Trial World, atop the Heavenly Dome, there was a shining sun, but it was not a real Sun Star, rather it was the Origin of this realm.

A vague figure merged with the Origin, a Daoist Aura that covered the world spreading everywhere; even a Heavenly God would tremble and submit in its presence.

For this aura was too startling, beyond what mortals could withstand, supreme and without equal.

At this moment, the gaze of this figure fell upon the Trial Road, and then eyes closed again, but not before a soft sigh was heard, "Another remarkable young Heavenly Pride has appeared; it’s just that I don’t know if there is enough time this round, whether they can all grow up and fight side by side, and I hope it’s not too late."

"The King’s Ancient Road needs to be opened again. Three years ago, no one reached the end because it was too difficult. This time, I hope some of these young Heavenly Prides will make it to the end, perhaps managing to use the old path left by the ancients to escape this prison-like world..."

"Tiandu Continent, a future fraught with uncertainty..."

As the outside world was shaken, the Trial Road was equally astir, because the news of the appearance of the Young Martial God spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred, swiftly proliferating along the entire Trial Road at an astonishing speed.

Many Trialists changed color, realizing that the true king of the Trial Road had probably appeared—it was this youngster named Ye Chen, a Young Martial God, an excessively young Martial God Super Expert.

Even those who claimed to be qualified as kings among Super Experts were likely to lose all their luster before this youth.

At this time, from the Eighth Pass onward, there were many who witnessed a shocking scene along the way.

A massive Demon Flood Dragon, huge as a Little Shan, sped through the sky, drawing the gaze of many, with its thunderous roaring, causing numerous Trialists to change color and flee in terror.

For it was clearly a fearsome Jiao Beast, cloaked in black scales, looking terrifyingly formidable, and everyone feared being bitten and killed by the Demon Flood Dragon.

However, this Demon Flood Dragon didn’t seem in the mood to hunt the Trialists, and many saw it only swiftly passing by from afar. More shockingly, many clearly saw that this Demon Flood Dragon had numerous broken scales, as if it had suffered many injuries.

Clearly, this was a Martial God Realm Demon Beast, showing signs of Dragon Transformation, evidently with True Dragon Blood flowing in its veins, yet it had been injured—who could have inflicted such wounds?

However, this question didn’t last long—after the Demon Flood Dragon had not been gone for too long, following the same trajectory, a streak of golden lightning soared across the sky, chasing after the direction in which the Demon Flood Dragon had fled.

The crowd was astonished; it was as if they had glimpsed a youth in their brief moment of clarity.

This youth was actually chasing down the Demon Flood Dragon, and he exuded a supremely powerful aura, clearly a being above even the Martial God Realm.

When had such a peerless Super Expert appeared on the Trial Road?

The path was shaken!

News from the Eighth Pass evidently hadn’t spread to the later passes yet, for Ye Chen was pursuing the Demon Flood Dragon too quickly.

But Ye Chen was not aware of what was in people’s hearts; at this moment, he was chasing down the Demon Flood Dragon, engaging in an unprecedented epic pursuit across thousands of miles.

The Demon Flood Dragon was extraordinary, wielding a kind of extreme movement technique originating from its mythical bloodline. Its speed was hardly less than Ye Chen’s, the monstrous body moving through the clouds like mountains on the breeze, swift beyond belief. Even among Martial Gods, it was too fast to chase after, impossibly fast.

Ordinarily, in terms of physical quality, Demon Beasts are far superior to humans, let alone Exotic Beasts like the Demon Flood Dragon that had the blood of a mythological True Dragon, which greatly magnified this advantage.

It was just regrettable that Ye Chen was no ordinary person; he moved with the Reverse Space Eight Steps from his past life, each step covering more than dozens or even hundreds of meters. With each successive step, his speed increased even further, and he streaked through the world like a bolt of lightning, stirring wild winds, thunder booming as he relentlessly pursued the Demon Flood Dragon.

A beast and a person, in a chase along the Trial Road, their swift pursuit startling numerous Trialists who all watched in shock.
