Chapter 169: Chapter 154 Heavenly God Intervenes

A wave of Daoist fluctuation stronger than any before surged from the distance like lightning, causing mountains and valleys to tremble.

Because this was not the mere power of the Martial God, but rather that of the Heavenly God, indescribably terrifying, causing nearly everyone present to undergo a drastic change in complexion.

"Heavenly God!"

The crowd was shocked, obviously not having expected that a powerhouse of this caliber would be disturbed into making an appearance.

From the far horizon, an elderly figure was making his way over rapidly like lightning, bringing with him a tempest that appeared in this world.

This person was dressed in a black and white robe and appeared to be a rather amiable elder, but he possessed a world-shaking divine power that was far superior to anyone present, causing the whole world to tremble for him.

Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged, but his pupils contracted slightly, and he held his spear horizontally before him, clearly wary of the sudden appearance of the Heavenly God, silent and watching incomprehensively.

"Supreme Elder!"

The three Gate Masters exclaimed in surprise, their delight evident, for this was a Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Divine Realm. If these old men were willing to take action, no one on the Trial Road would be their match.

Twelfth Pass Master, Elder Nalan, also exclaimed in shock, never having expected that the Supreme Elder would appear in the end.

Roar—

At that moment, the Demon Flood Dragon separated from the 13th Pass Master and came to stand behind Ye Chen, staring intently at the elder, naturally aware of how formidable this old man was.

The 13th Pass Master was riddled with injuries, obviously not a match for the Demon Flood Dragon, but he had held on. Now he hurriedly came forward to pay his respects, for this was the Supreme Elder.

The black and white robed Supreme Elder gave a slight nod in acknowledgment, and then looking at the Demon Flood Dragon behind Ye Chen, nodded and said, "Indeed, it is a Demon Flood Dragon with the True Dragon Bloodline, a rarity in this world since ancient times. Today, finally, one has appeared."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Pass Masters looked joyful. The Supreme Elder seemed to be fascinated by the Demon Flood Dragon, so they hurried to say, "Supreme Elder, this Demon Flood Dragon is of great importance. If cultivated, it can become the Guardian Beast of Tiandu Academy, ensuring the safety of a generation. We ask that you take action and tame this Demon Flood Dragon."

"Please act, Supreme Elder, and we also hope to severely punish this young man Ye Chen, who not only refuses to hand over the Demon Flood Dragon but also opposes Tiandu Academy. He is brazen and lawless, unforgivable. We ask for your action to severely punish this child."

"The Demon Flood Dragon was born within this Trial World and should belong to Tiandu Academy, yet this child insists on claiming it as his own."

Several Gate Masters took turns persuading, urging the Supreme Elder to subdue this Demon Flood Dragon.

"Supreme Elder..." Twelfth Pass Master seemed reluctant, her red lips parted slightly, but in the end, she just sighed softly, unable to speak out, for she knew she could not change certain things.

Ye Chen’s demeanor remained the same, but his blood and qi started to boil silently, and a great deal of golden energy surged into his Heavenly Divine Spear, ready to resurrect at any moment, revealing its peerless sharpness.

Even if the Heavenly God made a move, he was unafraid, ready to fight if necessary. And when he took out the Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order, he wasn’t sure if the Supreme Elder would still dare to act, but he suspected that the Supreme Old Mansion Master, who was high above, would not sit idly by. After all, this Alliance Leader Order was something only Supreme Divine beings were entitled to possess.

The black and white robed Supreme Elder gestured with a hand for the Gate Masters to quiet down and then looked kindly at Ye Chen, nodding as he said, "You must be Ye Chen, truly commendable. The saying that ’heroes emerge from the youth’ is indeed true. After your Dantian was wasted, you should have fallen from the Divine Altar and lost all your cultivation, unable to practice again in this lifetime. However, you rebuilt yourself from ruin. Not only did you not fall behind, but you also rose again over these years, reaching this state, which is unprecedented."

"You are very strong, enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the heirs of super forces. My visit this time is not to trouble you, but the Old Mansion Master asked me to greet you on his behalf. Should you wish, the gates of the Heavenly Level Academy of Tiandu Academy are always open to you."

Stunned!

Everyone was stunned!

What exactly was this? Everyone had thought that this Heavenly Divine Realm Supreme Elder had come to hold Ye Chen accountable and to punish him severely, as well as to take the Demon Flood Dragon away. But now he had spoken so kindly, even willing to invite Ye Chen to join Tiandu Academy, and at the highest level—the Heavenly Level Academy.

Moreover, by the sound of it, the matter was clearly related to the legendary Supreme Old Mansion Master. This visit was also indicated by the Old Mansion Master himself.

The Four Great Pass Masters’ expressions changed dramatically, with the Tenth Pass Master exclaiming in surprise, "Supreme Elder, why is this? This young man is cunning and crafty, he has been constantly challenging our Tiandu Academy, he cannot be left unchecked, he must be punished severely."

"Silence!"

The Supreme Elder spoke indifferently, but it was imbued with Heavenly Divine Power, causing the Tenth Pass Master’s face to turn pale, his blood and qi roiling inside of him, and he did not dare to speak again, for this was a minor punishment from the Supreme Elder. If he continued to speak, it would not end with just such a reprimand.

At the same time, his heart was filled with shock, because it was very clear that the Supreme Elder did not wish to antagonize Ye Chen. What kind of divine being was this young man that even the high-level authorities of Tiandu Academy were so accommodating, to the point where the Supreme Old Mansion Master had to make a gesture?

Ye Chen looked up at the high sun above, then nodded slightly towards the Supreme Elder and pointed at the Demon Flood Dragon, "What about it?"

The Supreme Elder responded with a slight smile, "Don’t worry. Since the Demon Flood Dragon has submitted to you, our Tiandu Academy will no longer interfere, and you may dispose of it as you wish."

"Elder!"

Several Gate Masters couldn’t help but cry out. The existence of the Demon Flood Dragon was too important, with extraordinary potential. At the very least, it could become a Heavenly Demon and serve as a Guardian Beast. Saying they would give it up so freely was a bit too magnanimous, wasn’t it?

The Supreme Elder merely glanced at them indifferently, and no one else dared to speak.

Ye Chen was quite satisfied with this resolution and nodded with a smile, saying, "Since the Supreme Elder has spoken, this junior shall express my gratitude here. However, regarding today’s events, I hope for a proper explanation."

Pushing one’s luck!

Several Gate Masters clenched their fists tightly, glaring at Ye Chen resentfully.

The Supreme Elder furrowed his brows, glanced at the Four Great Pass Masters, and said, "You all have gone too far today. To bully a trialist like this, is this the behavior of Gate Masters? It’s excessive. Now, your roles as Gate Masters are revoked, and you must apologize to young friend Ye Chen."

The colors drained from the faces of the Several Great Pass Masters. Taking on the role of Gate Master on the Trial Road had cost them dearly, for in this part of the world, it was easier to sense the Daoist Rules of Supreme Powerhouses, benefiting their future cultivation. But now, they were being demoted in an instant, which was extremely hard for them to accept.

Yet, what angered them even more was the fact that they had to apologize to this youngster. It was even more difficult to bear than death itself.

However, at this moment, the Heavenly Divine Power emanated from the Supreme Elder in strands and waves, pressing down on their shoulders like a mountain, forcing them to bow deeply with humiliation and say, "Apologies, young friend Ye Chen."

"While not very sincere, I’ll let you off this time in honor of the Supreme Elder," said Ye Chen lightly, which made the Four Great Pass Masters feel deeply humiliated and they looked at Ye Chen with deep resentment, completely powerless to resist.

The Supreme Elder also paid no attention to the Four Great Pass Masters and his tone then became slightly more solemn as he said, "Young friend Ye Chen, your strength is indeed extraordinary. With the King’s Ancient Road about to open again, I wonder if you are willing to enter the Ancient Road once more."

The King’s Ancient Road!?

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s pupils contracted slightly. The last time he had been on the King’s Ancient Road, his Dantian had been destroyed, and he was expelled from the road, transforming overnight from a genius into a cripple.

Although this was a memory from before he had awakened, the memories had merged, and he could empathize with the experiences of "Ye Chen" at that time.

Last time, he hadn’t made it far on the King’s Ancient Road. He hadn’t expected that three years later, the King’s Ancient Road would open once again.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, and looking at the Supreme Elder, asked, "May I ask, who else will be participating in the King’s Ancient Road this time?"

The Supreme Elder replied, "This time, only the strongest young Heavenly Prides will be participating on the King’s Ancient Road. At the very least, they need to reach the threshold of the Martial God Realm, because the Ancient Road is almost within reach of the end. Only sufficiently powerful young Heavenly Prides are qualified to reach the final point on the Ancient Road. The young heirs of the several super forces will all participate."

Ye Chen’s eyes lit up, then he suddenly asked about someone, "What about Huang Tianqin?"

Huang Tianqin was the very same young Heavenly Pride who had destroyed his Dantian back then, an exceptional prodigy from the Tiandu Academy.
