Chapter 199: Chapter 183: The Legendary Emperor Xia!

Ye Chen was injured, his face pale, his mouth coughing up blood, his body unsteady, nearly collapsing from the air, but he managed to stabilize himself.

In fact, the battle with Fairy Caiyun was not as easy as it appeared on the surface. The opponent was too strong, unexpectedly able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Although it seemed that he had the upper hand during the fight, he too was wounded, and his Primordial Energy depleted substantially.

It was just that the injuries had been suppressed before, and only now did they fully manifest, causing even someone as strong as him to cough up blood.

"Ye Chen—," the Thirteenth Prince, Vivian, Princess Hongs Rong, and others were all somewhat worried, not expecting that the always dominant Ye Chen would be injured.

Many Trialists’ eyes showed unusual colors, with quite a few of them secretly gathering strength, ready to seize the opportunity to strike.

But even more people were prepared to retreat. Ye Chen was too overpowering, irresistible; to act against him was not clear-cut.

"Don’t worry!"

Ye Chen shook his head at his friends, indicating that he was all right, and then his body shook. Golden radiance flowed, rumbling loudly as his injuries rapidly healed, his aura remaining at a terrifying level.

Afterwards, his gaze swept over the strong figures on the ground, his eyes cold, obviously harboring killing intent, which made everyone’s skin crawl, as these people had attacked him before, causing him certain injuries.

But at this time, the Ancient Ring released the Dao Trace Divine Bottle, and the Dao Blood autonomously bloomed dazzling blood-colored radiance. The white-haired Divine sitting in the Heavenly Dome transformed into a streak of light that surged into Ye Chen’s forehead, causing his face to change slightly as he realized that something was about to happen.

Ye Chen simply felt his consciousness quickly being cut off. His body was no longer under control, suspended in the void, while his Primordial Spirit emerged and was guided into a mysterious space.

His complexion changed slightly, but at that moment, a familiar voice echoed inside his Primordial Spirit, "Don’t worry, I can still sense you."

It was Elder Yan’s voice. With Elder Yan still around, Ye Chen calmed down and waited quietly.

Not long after, a figure suddenly appeared before him; it was the white-haired Divine, majestic and with eyes that contained the terrifying sight of stars dying and being reborn, his white hair disheveled. Without a doubt, he was very strong, able to pick stars and catch the moon when fully unleashed, peerlessly powerful.

Yet, at this moment, the white-haired Divine held back his Divine Power, giving Ye Chen a gentle smile, as if he were an ordinary elder, and said, "Little guy, don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you."

"Little guy?"

Ye Chen was a little taken aback and then gave a bitter smile, not having been called that in who knows how many years, which made him somewhat helplessly shake his head. He was not any little guy; although his actual age might not be great, even considering his previous life, he was still very young to many Cultivators but was definitely not a sixteen or seventeen-year-old little guy.

He shook his head and looked directly at the white-haired Divine, completely unafraid, and said softly, "Sir, you must think I’m just a youngster."

"Am I not?" The white-haired Divine smiled slightly, his eyes possessing a penetrating ability, as if able to see through a person’s soul, and said, "Even though your eyes are deep and calm, and you seem mature, not like a young man, the Primordial Spirit does not lie. You have not been a Primordial Spirit for very long, probably within this year. Are you perhaps the reincarnation of some old immortal?"

"I am not an old immortal," Ye Chen shook his head and then smiled lightly, "But I’m not a youngster either, and indeed, I am someone who has reincarnated, coming from the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms."

The white-haired Divine was immediately taken aback, staring dumbfounded at the youth before him, quite astonished. If he had thought Ye Chen was joking before, when the words "Heavenly and Myriads of Realms" were spoken, he was thoroughly taken aback.

In this sealed-off world, it was impossible to know anything about the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, but Ye Chen’s statement gave him substantial reason to believe that this youth, who seemed excessively young at only sixteen or seventeen, truly was from the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

However, this revelation filled him with joy after the shock, because he was in need of such a person to send a message for him.

Yet he still held a half-believing, half-doubting attitude, and said, "You make me somewhat believe, but it’s not sufficiently convincing."

"Human Emperor, Ten Thousand Domain Mansion, Sun Holy Palace, Ten Thousand Realm Palace..." Ye Chen slowly listed a series of significant matters related to the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, be they supreme beings or supreme forces. No one outside of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms could possibly know all this, forcing the white-haired Divine to believe it all.

He hadn’t expected that in this mysterious world, there would be someone who could reincarnate, and was a distinguished figure from the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms. He marveled that such a young man could be so fearsome at just sixteen or seventeen; even in the vast expanse of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, he was one of the rare breed of Heavenly Prides.

The white-haired Divine sighed repeatedly, "I didn’t expect to see a Heavenly Pride from the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms here, truly a rare sight. Are you contesting Reincarnation? Otherwise, why would you be reborn in this prison-like world?"

Reincarnation was not merely a mysterious term; it was also an infinitely mysterious and mystical Great Realm on the path of Cultivation, beyond research. Even great powers like the Human King had never fully grasped it. It was the most enigmatic Great Realm in the journey of Cultivation, before which countless distinguished figures had fallen.

For once one entered Reincarnation, it meant that everything from the past, including memories, Cultivation, and even the Primordial Spirit, would dissipate, leaving only a muddled will to embark on rebirth in the next life.

Unless one awakened within Reincarnation, transcending it would be impossible.

Ye Chen’s various states made the white-haired Divine feel that this child was undergoing Reincarnation, with his Primordial Spirit disintegrating and being reborn in this prison-like world.

Reincarnation? Perhaps that was indeed the state he was in, only that this Reincarnation was so extraordinarily unique.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, "You may think of it that way."

"Your latent consciousness from your previous life has already awakened. It seems transcending Reincarnation is not far off. Once you surpass it, you will become a Heavenly King, a true Heavenly Pride," the white-haired Divine exclaimed in amazement and then smiled radiantly. Although his appearance was ordinary, there was a special charm to him. "Hello, I am Emperor Xia!"

The white-haired Divine voluntarily revealed his name. Emperor Xia, a name imbued with legendary aura, was also the name of a once world-renowned powerhouse.

Upon hearing the name, Ye Chen seldom showed a look of surprise and turned his gaze toward the white-haired man in front of him, never expecting that he was Emperor Xia, a legend.

Beyond the Tiandu Continent lay the vast Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, a boundless expanse filled with an uncountable number of races and billions of creatures, truly limitless in breadth, spread across domains far greater than the Tiandu Continent.

Tens of thousands of such Great Domains came together, collectively known as the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

How vast were the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms! With endless creatures and countless races, they birthed a number of dazzling Heavenly Prides. Divine beings that reigned supreme on the Tiandu Continent were not uncommon in the Ten Thousand Realms, and there even existed beings transcending the Divine, commanding the world and revered as Heavenly Kings.

Yet, even the mightiest could be lost in the boundless sea of faces. Very few indeed made their names resound throughout the world, and Emperor Xia was one of those few.

Ten thousand years ago, his Cultivation was matchless, revered as the Ice Flame Heavenly King. It was said that he was but a step away from stepping into the Great Power Domain, ready to stand at the zenith of the Ten Thousand Realm Pyramid, overlooking the vast Ten Thousand Realms, worshipped and dominating the rise and fall of the world.

His era was so prosperous and splendid that, even among his peers in the Supreme Sacred Land, he was a figure of significant influence, even eclipsing the contemporary Holy Land Master, admired and looked up to by the world, honored for a long and unforgettable era of glory.

In some significant historical records within the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, Emperor Xia left a profound mark, believed to have the potential to not only achieve Great Power status but also to surpass it and become a Heavenly Pride of his generation.

However, for reasons unknown, this stunning Ice Flame Heavenly King suddenly disappeared from the world, leaving no trace, stirring speculation among the people about his whereabouts.

Even his Supreme Sacred Land, having expended untold resources and efforts over nearly ten thousand years, with even the slumbering Ancient Ancestor emerging to search, traversed the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms and even ventured into Alternate Spaces, failed to find any trace of Emperor Xia.

There had always been rumors that Emperor Xia might have perished, no longer of this world.

But Ye Chen never imagined that Emperor Xia, whose splendor once illuminated the Ten Thousand Domains a myriad of years ago, would appear before him; even if it was but a Residual Soul, it was enough to astonish anyone.

Rumors always had it, this legendary Heavenly King had fallen; but now, it seems that might not entirely be the case.

Seeing the rare look of surprise on Ye Chen’s face, Emperor Xia understood what he was thinking and showed a bitter smile, shaking his head, "I know, the world probably has always thought that I, Emperor Xia, died, passed away."

"That’s true, but now it seems, all that was wrong because you are still alive. Or maybe it’s related to something you need to entrust, right?" Ye Chen saw through all of it at a glance.

Emperor Xia smiled bitterly and nodded, "You’re smart, and you’ve got it right. In the past, when I was practicing outside, I encountered enemies. They were very powerful and had the advantage in numbers. I couldn’t do anything but be pursued, fleeing ceaselessly through the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms and even through Alternate Spaces, escaping from one domain to another, through countless places. This world is one of those where I once fought against those enemies."

"This small world, outside of the Trial World, once housed an extremely splendid civilization. It wouldn’t have been destroyed by your clashes with those enemies, would it?" Ye Chen suddenly asked, his eyes emitting brilliant Divine Radiance, piercing through the truth of history.
