Chapter 218: Chapter 198: Ancient Hero in Action!

Tiandu Continent, Central Region.

This place was the stronghold of the Three Great Empires, the University, the Martial God Temple, and other super forces, occupying the most spiritually rich regions of the entire Tiandu Continent.

Deep within a sparsely populated mountain range, the valley was filled with lingering clouds and mist, waterfalls cascaded three thousand feet, and steam rose in swirls. It was like a dream, seemingly a mortal’s immortal realm, and indeed a pocket world endowed with nature’s spiritual energy that far exceeded any other place.

At the peak of a bitterly cold mountain, a young girl sat cross-legged on a bluestone slab, in white garments and simple skirts, her three thousand strands of black hair flowing like a waterfall in the wind.

She was unspeakably beautiful, with skin fairer than frost and snow, her exquisite face beneath her delicate brows, a petite nosed, and cherry lips, characterizing her as a graceful beauty. Yet, she carried an uncommonly vigorous spirit not found in ordinary women, marking her as a rare female warrior.

A surging aura emanated from her, a streak of green light shot from the top of her skull into the clouds, stirring the skies, a rarity in this world.

Indeed, this was a powerful young Martial God, far stronger than an ordinary Martial God. With each breath the girl took, copious amounts of nature’s spiritual energy rushed to be swallowed by her, turning into streams of pure Divine Power flowing between her meridians. Her body was engulfed in a radiant halo, appearing holy and untainted.

Day after day, month after month, the girl sat in meditation upon the bluestone slab, never opening her eyes.

However, in this moment, the meditating girl opened her eyes, and from them shot a blinding divine light, snapping through the clouds toward an elder who was walking on air amidst the mist.

The elder walked on air, silently approaching and respectfully landing before the girl, bowing deeply, "I’ve seen the young lady."

Had any disciple of the Martial God Temple witnessed this, they would have been utterly astonished; this elder was no ordinary man, but a Divine Elder of the Martial God Temple, ranked twelfth, known as Wu Qian, a powerful Heavenly God warrior, and an influential figure. Even the Vice Hall Master would nod in greeting to him, yet here he stood before the girl with extreme reverence, bordering on awe, which was indeed shocking.

Who exactly was this girl that she could command such respect from a mighty Divine Elder?

Yet, Wu Qian knew the true origin of the girl before him. She was an Ancient Hero personally sealed by the Supreme Divine within a precious and priceless World Heart Fragment during the Ancient Times, a Heavenly Pride without equal.

It was hard to imagine that among the Martial Gods who prided themselves on their strength, the Ancient Hero sealed by the Martial God Temple was a girl. However, all who truly knew the girl’s strength were invariably deeply shocked.

In her past, this girl was peerless in her era. She became a Martial God at the tender age of sixteen, gifted with an unparalleled talent. She challenged mighty Martial Gods soon after stepping into that realm and emerged victorious, adding to her renown.

Later, at the age of twenty-three, she could effortlessly defeat seasoned Martial Gods who had been in the realm for many years. She once slew five Great Martial Gods in a single day, shaking the world in her time.

During that era, not a single person among the younger generation of the entire Tiandu Continent could stand against her. Even the most dazzling prodigies could not last more than fifteen moves in her hands, hailed as the most stunning Heavenly Pride in the history of the Martial God Temple, and even the Great Prophets predicted she would have the chance to surpass the Divine.

This exceptionally beautiful girl was treated as an equal by the current Vice Hall Master of the Martial God Temple.

The girl gestured with her hand for the elder to rise, "Elder Wu Qian has come. For what matter, may I ask?"

Elder Wu Qian replied respectfully, "Your Highness, I have been sent by the Hall Master to request that you leave seclusion and go to the Trial Road of Tiandu Academy to capture the young Ye Chen."

"Trial Road?" The girl’s delicate brows rose slightly, and she shook her head disdainfully, her black hair swirling about. With an air of disdain and pride, she said lightly, "That’s merely a place for ordinary people to undergo trials, of no use to me. I do not wish to go. Besides, to capture a mysterious Ye Chen, couldn’t any young prodigy from the Martial God Temple be sent?"

Despite her tone being somewhat haughty and scornful, not considering the Trial Road worth her attention, she indeed had the right to be proud.

As the most stunning Ancient Hero in the history of the Martial God Temple and one of the strongest among the young generation of the present era, the so-called Trial Road was merely meant for ordinary geniuses. It was utterly useless to her, and only the most mysterious King’s Ancient Road somewhat interested her.

Elder Wu Qian, as if expecting her to say such words, didn’t seem surprised in the least. He continued, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. It’s about a Supreme Divine Item, the Dao Blood."

Upon hearing this, the girl was instantly startled, her eyes shooting out dazzling divine light as though piercing through space, staring intently at Elder Wu Qian, "Speak, what exactly is going on?"

The girl was clearly just a Martial God, yet Wu Qian felt an indescribable oppressive force surging towards him, as if a Divine Ancestor was lurking within her, looking down on him from a great height, giving him a profound sense of oppression and causing him great astonishment. She was indeed the most dazzling hero in the history of the Martial God Temple, truly extraordinary.

Wu Qian certainly did not dare to neglect her and reported the situation on Trial Road in detail, word by word.

After listening, the girl fell silent for a while, her eyes flashing. She had been in meditation since her release, oblivious to worldly matters, and now, hearing the news, she too felt that the world had changed quite a bit.

Then she stood tall, her beautiful and curvaceous figure perfectly presented. She whispered, "Unexpectedly, in this life, there is such a stunning youth. It is said that Yang Wushuang of the Tianqi Empire is also a remarkable hero. They sent an incarnation but still failed to capture that youth named Ye Chen, interesting indeed. But it just shows their incompetence. Such divine items as Dao Blood indeed exist in the world and cannot be let go so easily."

"However, we are all heroes sealed from ancient times. It would be somewhat unfair to act against them in person, against propriety. But when it concerns Dao Blood, it becomes significant. Alright then, I will personally take action to see how much weight this Ye Chen carries. But the Dao Blood must be obtained."

"If this Ye Chen truly does not know how to appreciate favors, then he should not blame me for being merciless and immediately killing him, even if a Divine stands behind him. After all, our Martial God Temple is not without real Supreme Divine Ancestors."

That day, the ancient heroes of the Martial God Temple emerged from seclusion!

In the east lies the territory of the Tianqi Empire, one of the Three Great Empires. At the center of the Imperial City, located in the heart of the Empire, the imperial palace spans a magnificent hundred miles. It looks like an ancient behemoth lying in wait, instilling fear in those who gaze upon it from afar.

Amidst the layered palaces at the center of the Imperial Palace stands a particularly majestic hall. Unlike other important halls that are guarded by powerhouses both openly and in secret, this particular hall is only attended by some ordinary maids.

In the hall hangs a huge plaque inscribed with the ancient characters for the ’Unrivaled Palace,’ the personal hall of the ancient hero Yang Wushuang, not to be trespassed upon lightly.

At this very moment, Yang Wushuang stood proudly in the void, his presence so mighty it suffused the entire hall, causing even the void to seem condensed. The maids and eunuchs who came to serve trembled in fear, not daring to move haphazardly, and fell to their knees.

Meanwhile, Yang Wushuang gazed in the direction of the Tiandu Academy, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through the void and see Ye Chen on Trial Road, revealing a smile, "Interesting, interesting. This Ye Chen actually carries Dao Blood within him. It’s unexpected. This is a Supreme divine item that even Divine Ancestors crave, said to be the blood of a being beyond the Divine, containing fragments of the Dao, and is incomparably important for transcending the Divine someday."

"Although I said I would wait for you on King’s Ancient Road, today, I’m afraid I will have to break my word. Dao Blood is incomparably important for my ascension beyond the Divine someday, and must be obtained. I apologize for not keeping my promise."

"Perhaps the ancient heroes sealed by other super forces have already set out. I too might as well leave early. So be it, this will be a gathering of the strongest heroes, I want to see who among the major super forces is the strongest and who is the weakest."

That day, a powerful presence burst forth from the Tianqi Imperial Palace and then quickly dissipated.

At the same time, the ancient heroes sealed by the Jiuhua Empire and the Soaring Dragon Empire had already emerged, having each received important information about the Dao Blood. They were all excited and, with a cold smile, led by the powerhouses of the various super forces, they headed for Trial World in search of Ye Chen.

And at this time, in the deepest parts of the Tiandu Continent, an area more mysterious and ancient even than the Heavenly Level Academy that gathers nearly all of this world’s top talents, there exists a mysterious cave that has been sealed since ancient times, filled with endless Spiritual Energy surging within.

Even more mysterious is that within the cave, there is a massive World Heart Fragment floating among the boundless Spiritual Energy. In it lies a handsome and elegant young man dressed in ancient attire, clearly the ancient hero sealed by Tiandu Academy, who has yet to awaken and emerge.

But at this moment, a Divine Sense fluctuation emanated from between the young man’s brows in the World Heart.

Because before the cave had arrived an indistinct figure who conversed with him, "Yuan Jiu, have you not chosen to emerge yet? The ancient heroes sealed by other super forces have all decided to emerge, wishing to seize the Dao Blood to surpass the Divine. Don’t you want to seize that supreme fortune above the Divine?"

The Divine Sense of the World Heart Fragment’s ancient hero questioned, "What is the competition for? And what exactly is Dao Blood?"

The visitor explained, "The Ancient Great Prophets have prophesied that all five of you Great Ancient Heroes in this era have a chance to transcend the Divine. Dao Blood may just be the real key. Aren’t you tempted?"

"Dao Blood is the key?" Yuan Jiu’s Divine Thought fluctuated, "Perhaps it truly is. But can one rely on external objects to transcend the Divine? Perhaps one can, perhaps one cannot."

"I know that to transcend the Divine in this era will be accompanied by too many sacrifices, with a Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea emerging in torrents..."
