Chapter 185: Chapter 169: Secrets of the Dao Platform

Ye Chen blinked and ascended the Dao Platform, sending the Martial God Dao Soldiers flying with a single punch, completely stupefying everyone.

What kind of fist was that, able to counter the Martial God Dao Soldiers so forcefully that it was shockingly terrifying.

Even if a real Martial God were to come, they might not be able to shake the Martial God Dao Soldiers with their physical bodies.

But from under the expansive black robe, the Seventeenth Prince of the Jiuhua Empire clearly saw a familiar, delicate face, and couldn’t help but exclaim: "Ye Chen!"

The name Ye Chen seemed to carry a strange magic, immediately drawing a surge of exclamations and many watchful eyes from the crowd, all focusing on the figure in the black robe, eager to discern the truth.

At that moment, Ye Chen no longer concealed himself, his wide robe falling as he revealed his true face. His black hair cascaded down, his features delicate yet firm, his gaze calm and natural, indifferent to the scrutiny of the onlookers.

Ye Chen’s arrival instantly caused a sensation in the area.

"Ye Chen, it really is him, he has also entered the Mysterious Heaven and Earth."

"Didn’t Xia Teng say he didn’t come with us?"

"It turns out we have always been with Lord Chenn without realizing it."

Everyone was shocked. No one had thought that the Crownless King who ruled the Trial Road, Ye Chen, had come in, and had always followed the main force in secret, unbeknownst to anyone unless he had taken action this time.

It was initially thought that Ye Chen either came before or after everyone else.

The expression of the Seventeenth Prince changed repeatedly, filled with terror. He never expected to have provoked this Killing God, but even Yangg Jun, the Eighth Prince of the Tianqi Empire, dared to make a move against this Killing God, and he did not dare to rely on his Jiuhua Empire identity to threaten the other party.

He could only retreat unwillingly, looking to other Dao Platforms to try his luck. Even though the Thirteenth Prince, Xia Teng did not have Martial God Dao Soldiers and was the easiest to target, no one dared to make a move because of Ye Chen’s presence, which posed the greatest threat.

At the same time, six hovering super experts arrived upon hearing the news, all with thoughtful expressions, clearly not expecting Ye Chen to be present.

"Ye Chen." Xia Yang looked over, war intent surging, his Divine Spear pointing, "Good, you’ve been here all along, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. But the current you might not be an opponent for me. Let me tell you, there are Dao Enlightenments related to the Heavenly Divine Realm on the Dao Platform, which are immensely beneficial for our cultivation, allowing rapid growth, congealment of the Primordial Spirit, and entry into the domain of Martial God Realm."

"So you are Li Chen, indeed very young." Long Tenghua from the Soaring Dragon Empire spoke with admiration, as Ye Chen was so young, appearing to be only sixteen or seventeen, younger than them by four to five years, yet his Cultivation had reached remarkable levels.

Xia Yang, Long Tenghua, Li Cheng, Yangg Shaoqi, and other six people all looked over.

Among them, Yangg Shaoqi’s eyes were filled with coldness, looking icily at Ye Chen, "Are you the Ye Chen who killed my brother Yangg Jun?"

"You can think so," Ye Chen faced Yangg Shaoqi’s chilly gaze without any fear, responding indifferently.

"Very well, today you must die no matter what," declared Yangg Shaoqi coldly, as if sentencing Ye Chen to death.

The murderous intent emitting from him was undisguised since Yangg Jun was his own maternal brother, far closer than any other princes or princesses. Ye Chen had indeed crossed his bottom line.

"You—" Ye Chen shook his head, chilly and seemingly dismissive in response: "No way!"

"Arrogant!"

Yangg Shaoqi instantly erupted in rage, a fearsome aura bursting forth, dominating the heavens and earth, making all the trialists feel an oppressive force as heavy as mountains, causing their faces to change color.

But at that moment, four Martial God Demon Beasts issued long cries, took action, and stirred up the heavens and earth, targeting the six super experts.

"hmph, after dealing with these beasts and obtaining the tokens, I’ll deal with you next," scoffed Yangg Shaoqi coldly, turning to attack the Silver Horned White Tiger. He opened his mouth and let out a clear roar, his brows twinkling with light radiance, displaying a brilliant glow that spanned Changkong and struck down.

This was the Divine Power Secret Technique of the Tianqi Empire, Heavenly Snow Pure River, born from Innate Essence, containing Innate Dao Power.

The Heavenly Snow Pure River stretched across the sky, twinkling with dazzling specks, resembling a vast river of stars, with various stars competing in brilliance, grand and majestic, striking the Silver Horned Tiger.

The Silver Horned Tiger was unable to react in time and was struck by the Heavenly Snow Pure River. Immediately, its fur burst open, a deep, gruesome wound visible on its back, blood spurting and flesh mangled, a truly shocking sight.

"Terrifying! Who would have thought that Yangg Shaoqi had become so powerful? With the first strike, he injured the Silver Horned Tiger, his strength undoubtedly that of the Martial God Realm.

The Silver Horned Tiger roared in shock and anger. A dazzling silver pillar of light burst from its horn, splitting the Heavenly Snow Pure River in two, dispersing light radiance across the sky. Within it, a large hammer bobbed up and down, emitting majestic light radiance and overflowing with the divine power of the Martial God, clearly a top-notch Martial God Dao Soldier that had been revived.

Everyone soon realized why Yangg Shaoqi could harm the Silver Horned White Tiger. Otherwise, even as a talented young prodigy, he wouldn’t have been able to genuinely injure the Silver Horned White Tiger, given that it was a true Martial God Realm demon beast, far stronger than even the Martial God experts.

Yet it was powerful enough, otherwise, how could ordinary people revive such Martial God Dao Soldiers, let alone harm the Silver Horned White Tiger?

Yangg Shaoqi snorted coldly and soared into the sky to seize the Divine Hammer, displaying his full prowess as he launched a direct attack on the Silver Horned White Tiger.

Meanwhile, Long Tenghua from the Soaring Dragon Empire also made his move. His body was entwined with three trails of Dragon Energy, all transforming into Dragon Forms, resembling true dragons in flight and writhing powerfully. With the flick of his body, he gripped a three-foot Dragon Sword, the three Dragon Energies intertwining and wailing as he confronted the Crocodile Dragon.

The three trails of Dragon Energy gave birth to Dharma Forms which manifested as three gigantic true dragons that attacked the Crocodile Dragon alongside Long Tenghua.

The Crocodile Dragon roared. Its name bearing the character ’Dragon’ signified it too was a fearsome demon beast with a trace of True Dragon Bloodline, perhaps not as pure as the Demon Flood Dragon, but still ferociously powerful. Its body covered in dark scale armor and having four arms, it revealed its fury upon encountering the three trails of Dragon Energy sensed it had been challenged and attacked furiously.

A man and a beast battled together, rocking the heavens and shaking the forests as if they were being shattered.

The Hundred-Legged Centipede soared into the sky, targeting one individual, emitting a vast expanse of pitch-black venom from its mouth. Several individuals dodged it, and when it fell to the ground, it corroded everything in its vicinity, even dissolving the soil, dreadfully horrifying.

Li Cheng of the Jiuhua Empire took action, wielding a large bell, a true Martial God Dao Soldier, and resplendent with its crystal red jade, clearly not an ordinary Martial God Dao Soldier. Now fully revived, intense Dao Waves surged, showcasing tremendous power.

He controlled the Red Jade Bell, hammering the Hundred-Legged Centipede as they clashed.

Xia Yang held a Divine Spear, equally commanding as he faced off against the Golden Red Sand Scorpion King. Sparks flew as the two clashed, with terrifying Heavenly Earth Power running rampant, causing the heavens and earth to crumble, overly powerful.

The other two slightly mysterious Super Experts, titled Crownless Kings, didn’t hold back either, as at that moment, two more dreadful Martial God Demons burst forth from the woods and charged with a long howl.

Six Crownless King eligible Super Experts made their moves, each taking on six Martial God Realm Great Demons. The battle was so ferocious that this small piece of heaven and earth trembled and the brilliance shattered the sky, terrifying and causing many Trialists to tremble in fear.

These were the Crownless King qualified Super Experts, seemingly no less formidable than Ye Chen, the Martial God himself since they all possessed absolute Martial God Realm combat power.

Many Trialists swiftly ran towards the Ancient Hall, because those Crownless King Super Experts had once stated that this dilapidated ancient hall was very safe. Even the Martial God Demon Beasts dare not trespass recklessly, as there seems to be an unknown mystery that makes these Martial God Demon Beasts quite wary.

The Demon Flood Dragon growled lowly, glancing at the Golden Red Sand Scorpion King and then at the other Martial God Demons. Its Primordial Spirit fluctuated, clearly wishing to join the fight, but Ye Chen raised his hand to suppress it, preventing it from acting recklessly.

With a swoosh, Ye Chen was the first to sit cross-legged on a Dao Platform. The platform was extraordinary, immediately manifesting Dao Rhythms and intonating Dao sounds, guiding the Heavenly Earth Dao. Faint Dao Traces descended, inscribing the various mysteries of the Heavenly Earth Dao, allowing those seated on the Dao Platform to seek Enlightenment through this.

Ye Chen’s brow shone with intense light radiance, his being endowed with a Primordial Spirit, far more inclined towards Enlightenment than others.

However, his realm was high enough that he didn’t care about these Dao of Heavenly Earth, merely using this opportunity to gauge the depth of these Dao.

Soon, he understood that this Dao Platform could help those seated upon it perceive the Heavenly Earth Dao, but it couldn’t delve deep into its layers—although Dao Rhythms circulated, they could only sense a trace of the Heavenly God Dao at most, more towards the Martial God Dao.

These Dao Rhythms were, at best, crude Dao. Ye Chen, with his realm, disregarded it, yet it was greatly beneficial for Martial Gods, guiding the cultivation towards the Heavenly Divine Realm.

Furthermore, the Dao Platform contained a message, revealing that the truly important thing in this small piece of heaven and earth was not the Nine Directions Dao Platform—valuable as it was, it paled in comparison to the real Treasure.

This was a small heaven and earth opened by a supremely powerful Supreme Divine being from the Ancient Era, a Trial World with a famed Divine being from the past, leaving behind his most precious treasure. But it was sealed within an Alternate Space, in which even Heavenly Gods couldn’t open, and even Divine beings would furrow their brows.

To break the seal, one must gather nine tokens and place them on the Nine Directions Dao Platform to unlock the seal.

And these nine tokens were placed within the bodies of nine terrifying Martial God Demon Beasts across this small piece of heaven and earth, each beast harboring a fragment. When all the fragments were gathered, it could be opened.

No wonder these Super Experts targeted the Martial God Demons. That explained it.

Understanding the cause and effect, Ye Chen showed a faint smile and suddenly turned to Vivian and Princess Hongs Rong, saying, "Would you like to ascend to the Dao Platform?"

The two women were initially shocked, but then realizing what Ye Chen meant, they immediately nodded.

"Good, since that’s the case, I’ll grant it to you," Ye Chen’s gaze swept across the other six individuals on the Dao Platform besides the Thirteenth Prince and Yangg Miaoxue, and he calmly said, "Which of you few is willing to relinquish a Dao Platform?"
