Chapter 269: Chapter 240: The World Behind the Door (Fifth Update)

Ye Chen’s gaze lingered within the Eighth Level of Trial Gate, surveying the boundless ancient and primordial land where the vicissitudes of time had settled, exuding a unique aura.

Above the heavenly dome, ten suns streaked across the sky, ensuring the land never succumbed to darkness, their brilliance shining upon every inch of earth.

In the vast Wilderness Mountains stretching tens of thousands of miles, human traces were utterly absent. Towering peaks rose into the clouds, scattered across this desolate land, isolated from the world as if reverting to the legendary primordial era.

But in a fleeting moment, he saw terrifying fierce beasts roaring within the Barbaric Mountains, echoing across the skies, causing the land in all directions to tremble.

A colossal Jiao Dragon soared into the air, resembling a massive mountain range, bearing partial Dragon Form and exhibiting signs of ancestral return; its Dragon Blood was purer and more potent than that of a Demon Flood Dragon.

He also saw a mountain-sized Golden Ant emerging, easily collapsing majestic and towering mountains, kicking up dust while warping the expanse of emptiness.

He further witnessed a Roc spreading its Cloud Wings, covering the sun and darkening the skies, grabbing a thousand zhang long Giant Python Great Demon and soaring into the Ninth Layer Heaven, disappearing into the clouds above.

He also spotted several Floating Divine Islands in the void, with silver waterfalls cascading down three thousand feet.

In the distant horizon, he saw an enormous giant city suspended upon the heavenly dome, never falling—an eternal Sky City.

All these scenes possessed an overpowering impact, filled with a wild aura that transported him back to the age of Huanggu or as if he had arrived in the Upper Realm. It was a breathtaking sight.

As Ye Chen observed all this, astonishment dawned upon him, his Primordial Spirit within his forehead almost transcended beyond, drawn by a strange pull from the Wilderness, willing itself into the depths.

Had Ye Chen not been immensely powerful, his Primordial Spirit would have already rushed in.

"I understand now, it is indeed so..."

Ye Chen sighed deeply, comprehending much. After witnessing all the scenes within the Eighth Level of Trial and sensing that ancient and mystical aura, he finally understood the path that lay ahead.

Elder Yan, who knew this all along, said, "It’s hard to believe that there’s a gate leading to this place in a sealed and imprisoned world, left by Jiuyue Great Power, the only channel that can connect to this place."

Ye Chen nodded, "I didn’t expect this gate could connect here, which quite surprises me, indeed rare."

Boom—

At that moment, Ye Chen exerted his full strength, his Immortal Golden Body vibrating, releasing boundless Golden Blood that enveloped the area like the Divine Furnace of the Heavenly Realm had overturned, drowning the region in golden blood qi.

Ye Chen’s top of the skull emitted a majestic Divine Light soaring into the Nine Layers of Heaven, his arms entirely covered with True Blood, gearing up to fully push open the Eighth Level of Trial.

"Who is it!"

This powerful and startling disturbance undoubtedly alerted others. Not only the Four Great Ancient Heroes but it also startled everyone below; none had realized someone else had climbed to the summit and was pushing the Eightfold Trial Gate without others’ knowledge.

"We were careless, focused on the battle. I didn’t expect someone else in this world could ascend past the Seven Trials like us," said Yangg Wushuang.

"Exactly who is it? Is it Yuan Jiu from the Tiandu Academy, one of the Ancient Heroes?"

Everyone was astounded. Yet, when they clearly saw the brilliance of the Golden Blood and the young, robust silhouette of a youth, they were all astonished: "Ye Chen!?"

The Young Great Demon King had also arrived, and none had noticed his approach.

Xia Yang, Xia Teng, Vivian, and Princess Hongs Rong all shared knowing smiles; he had finally arrived, not letting them down.

"It’s him, the Young Great Demon King of the Trial Road, who has slain so many Martial Gods and a Peak Martial God of the Tianqi Empire—Ye Chen has come."

Everyone exclaimed, never expecting Ye Chen’s arrival or the silent prowess with which he crossed the Seven Trials to reach here—all while the Four Great Ancient Heroes’ attention was elsewhere, leaving no one to notice him.

Ye Chen ignored everything. His arms were fully covered in pure red blood, significantly boosting his strength. Yet, the Trial Gate remained incredibly heavy, feeling more like a thousand heavy mountains combined than merely weighing millions of jin.

As powerful as Ye Chen was with unequaled physical body and Golden Body Divine Power, pushing it proved immensely strenuous, veins bulging, yet the effort appeared enormous.

Pushing open the Eighth Level of Trial was exceedingly difficult.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen eventually converted half of his True Blood and primarily cultivated the physical body. The Dao Rhythm of the Trial Gate did not drastically weaken his strength, so over time, he gradually opened a larger crack.

At this moment, the Four Great Ancient Heroes rarely refrained from intervening as they too wanted to leverage Ye Chen’s strength to glimpse a portion inside the Eighth Level of Trial.

Endless Light Radiance sprinkled out, swathes of Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy flew out, absorbed by the Great Ancient Heroes, rejuvenating their Primordial Spirits. Nonetheless, much more was absorbed by Ye Chen—such precious Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy was not something to be shared easily, providing immense benefits for the Primordial Spirit.

The Four Ancient Heroes frowned but refrained from snatching, their penetrating gazes looking beyond everything toward the inside.

"That is..."

They all revealed shocked expressions, and in a daze, they saw a vast and boundless Great World, bearing a barbaric and ancient aura that surged towards them, enveloping everything. This was undoubtedly an extremely ancient world, even more ancient than the Tiandu Continent.

They could feel a terrifying and mysterious force acting upon them, almost completely sucking in their Primordial Spirits. Their expressions changed slightly as they quickly released a burst of light radiance from their Primordial Spirits to resist this suction force.

They all opened their heavenly eyes, wanting to see more clearly, but at that moment, the void trembled.

Boom—

Ye Chen’s Golden Blood exploded, a dazzling golden hue covering everything, blocking the sight of the Four Great Ancient Heroes. Their vision could not penetrate; it was impenetrable, with a mix of shock and anger, "Ye Chen, you are courting death."

Long Guao was the first to make a move, swinging the Fangtian Halberd straight down, as if splitting the great void itself, aiming to cleave Ye Chen.

To stop him, unless Ye Chen gave up on pushing open the Trial Gate, he could only truly bear this strike.

"Scram!"

Ye Chen didn’t look back. At this moment, a stream of dark golden blood surged from the top of his skull, which also contained a human-head-sized cluster of True Blood. The Primordial Spirit in his brow center even rushed out, temporarily inhabiting the mixture of True Blood and Golden Blood, forming another Immortal Golden Body, wielding the Heavenly Divine Spear to meet the attack head-on.

Boom—

The void exploded, and Long Guao was repelled by the unsuccessful attack, while the cluster of blood was scattered and absorbed into Ye Chen’s body.

This was merely a brief moment of Ye Chen’s Primordial Spirit leaving his body, utilizing the blood within his body for a strong strike, unfortunately, it could not last too long, for he was not yet strong enough.

Meanwhile, his true body continued to push the Trial Gate, making the gap open wider and allowing more Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy to transform into light rain flying out, sprinkling over his body.

"Everyone attack, we cannot let him continue to capture the Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy. Otherwise, with this loss and gain, we truly will be at a disadvantage," Long Guao said.

"Alright!"

All of the Four Great Ancient Heroes made their move, launching an attack on Ye Chen together.

Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged, his brow center starting to emit a vast radiance, ready to unleash the Fighting God Seal, but sensing a bone-chilling crisis, he stopped pushing the gate and immediately moved horizontally with the Reverse Space Eight Steps.

The void where he had just been standing silently shattered, a tiny black hole appearing, having been penetrated.

Ye Chen’s expression changed. Had he not moved away in time, even with the Human Origin Golden Body, he suspected he might have been pierced and bled.

Clearly, the opponent possessed some kind of Forbidden Level Magic Artifact.

He looked towards Long Guao, who had executed the move.

In Long Guao’s hand appeared a long needle, the Soul Nailing Needle, the same as the one held by Yang Shaoqi’s uncle, but even more mysterious and frightening, capable of striking silently.

Ye Chen looked at Long Guao, his gaze ice-cold. Meanwhile, his brow center emitted a radiant glow more vigorous than ever. Even without using the Fighting God Seal, he was not afraid of these Ancient Heroes, but once he did use it, he could simply overpower them.

Rumble—

The light rain dissipated and the Trial Gate was ultimately closed. It had not fully opened before shutting, and no one else but Ye Chen could see what was inside.

"Tell me, what exactly is inside?" Long Guao said coldly, holding the Soul Nailing Needle.

Ye Chen glanced at him calmly, silent and unafraid.

Long Guao scoffed, "Are you still unwilling to speak at this critical moment? Do you think you want to utilize the last enhancement secret technique? But it’s useless, we are all prepared, and do you think we have all exerted our ultimate strength?"

These words made one tremble. Indeed, each of the Ancient Heroes was extraordinary, all hiding their respective trump cards, not using all their capabilities unless it was a truly life-and-death battle.

Ye Chen merely said, "Let’s fight, no more idle talk."

Audacious!

Everyone was startled but also thought of Ye Chen’s domineering nature. During these days, he had single-handedly overturned all the Tianqi Empire Martial Gods pursuing him, several Super Martial Gods had died, and even the Peak Martial God Prince Shi Jian had been slain. All this testified to Ye Chen’s terrifying capabilities.

The Ancient Heroes had backups, but how could Ye Chen not have his own, and even more powerful ones?

"Since this is the case, I will forcefully search your Primordial Spirit to see everything I want to know," Long Guao declared, being the first to attack, his Supreme Divine Power bursting forth, striking out horizontally.
