Chapter 288: Chapter 257: The Forbidden Person of That Year — Thousand!_3

This place was vast and grand, teeming with strong individuals, experts like clouds, surpassing the entire Tiandu Continent.

In the Void Sky Domain, there were thousands of such Sky Ancient Cities scattered throughout, corresponding to the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms in reality.

Every few Great Domains shared one Sky Ancient City, and Huatian City was the shared Sky Ancient City of the Five Great Domains including Xiangyang Domain and East Splendor Domain. In truth, there were numerous powerful beings, only many stayed back in Ten Thousand Domains and did not enter the Void Sky Domain, otherwise, the Divine Saints in the Divine Spirit Realm would not be as scarce as a mere dozen or so.

At last, he arrived at a tavern.

A tavern was a gathering place for all sorts of people, and it was always where the most informed news could be found.

Ye Chen entered, gathering information about the current state of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms. He collected the information bit by bit, organized it, which would be helpful even for his future departure from Tiandu Continent, returning to the Ten Thousand Domains.

He sat for a whole day and night, in silence, as if in meditation.

Eventually, he also learned of one thing, the grand curtain of the once-in-an-epoch battle for the Human Emperor’s Position had finally been raised, and in the blink of an eye, decades had passed, and by now, practically the entire Heavenly and Myriads of Realms were all about the battle for the Human Emperor’s Position.

This was an unprecedented pinnacle feast, even throughout ancient and modern times.

The Human Emperor was the undoubted strongest existence in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, above all spirits, incomparable, sovereign over the boundless territories of the Ten Thousand Domains, loftily supreme, all powers in the world had to bow and pay homage, a truly Supreme existence.

He or she could look down upon billions of lives, govern the rise and fall of the world, capture stars and seize moons with a gesture, omnipotent, before whom even the most powerful beings had to bow and pay homage.

Because he or she was invincible, unparalleled throughout ancient and modern times, impossible to surpass.

Such was the Human Emperor, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Domains.

What was even more captivating was that the Human Emperor was not only the Supreme being who oversaw the rise and fall of the Ten Thousand Domains but also the existence closest to immortal longevity between heaven and earth.

In this world, no great being could achieve eternal life, the Power of Time would strip away everything, even as invincible as the Human Emperor, without attaining the true Mythical Emperor Heavenly Position, he would eventually age, eventually fall, eventually fade into the River of Time.

In ancient myths, in the unreachable previous epoch, there was once a Supreme being who was truly immortal, equal to the Heavenly Dao, coexistent with heaven and earth, known as Emperor and Sovereign, esteemed over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

But due to the greatest calamity in history, he disappeared in that epoch.

And in this epoch, no such being could ever be born again, only the Human Emperor was closest to the Mythical Emperor Heavenly Position.

To break through to immortality, only the Human Emperor could.

The position of Human Emperor was not fixed; a Human Emperor who didn’t break limits would eventually age, eventually fade, and the position of Human Emperor would be contested almost every one hundred thousand years, at the sunset of an old Human Emperor and the birth of a new one, an era of transition between old and new Human Emperors.

One could predict, the intense scale of the battle for the Human Emperor’s Position sweeping across the vast and boundless Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, countless Heavenly Prides vying for it, often resulting in wars lasting decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years, and possibly even longer, until a new Human Emperor emerged.

Especially this time, various signs indicated that whoever won the new Human Emperor’s Position might indeed achieve the Mythical Emperor’s Supreme Heavenly Position, propelling this battle for the Human Emperor to the most intense one in history.

Ye Chen slowly exhaled, having waited so many years, the battle for the Human Emperor was finally about to unfold thoroughly, foreseeing that countless storms of blood would arise, a feast indeed, yet also a feast of blood.

"A single general achieves success at the cost of thousands of bones, and those who embark on this path, even the celebrated prodigies of the world, often end up as mere bones along the way of others."

"Because there can be only one Human Emperor, the others must either retreat or become mere bones on the new Human Emperor’s road."

Ye Chen sighed softly, "The Human Emperor... truly the first and supreme, the Lord of Ten Thousand Domains whom none can challenge. Not to mention seizing the creation to break through to the Mythical Emperor and the Heavenly Position, just being above all spirits and unbeatable in the world for a hundred thousand years is already enough."

He touched his chest, where there was a tower-shaped imprint, the very Human Emperor Tower, containing the Emperor’s Trial. It was a pity that he could never open the Human Emperor Tower; otherwise, he would have opened and begun the trial long ago.

He doubted whether passing the trial inside would really make one the Human Emperor, but he felt it was mostly impossible.

The Human Emperor’s Position would not come that easily, and the Emperor’s Trial could not be that simple either.

Ye Chen sipped tea and continued to gather information. Soon after, a piece of news spread, "Big news, big news. Someone in the city’s Ancient Battlefield has set a challenge on the Martial Arts Battle Platform, claiming to challenge the young prodigies of the Five Great Domains to become the new invincible ruler of the domains and seize the position of the foremost."

This news, like a meteor falling into the sea, stirred up waves and instantly drew the attention of many in the tavern.

The young elites of the Five Great Domains were many, especially in this era which was extraordinary. It was possible that this era’s new Human Emperor would emerge from the Five Great Domains.

"What, at the Ancient Battlefield, who is so bold?"

People were shocked. The Ancient Battlefield was a Martial Arts Battle Platform that could evolve an expanse of heaven and earth, but as an ancient relic, not anyone could manipulate it without substantial power and background.

Moreover, only by setting a challenge on the platform and challenging the young elites of the Five Great Domains, who would dare do such a thing, causing many to prickle their ears and listen intently.

"It’s Donghua Haoyi."

"Donghua Haoyi, it’s actually him!"

Hearing this name, everyone was amazed.

The East Splendor Domain of the Five Great Domains had always had an immortal sovereign clan leader in existence, commanding the rise and fall of this great domain, a truly powerful realm master family.

This family, named the Donghua Family, gave its name to the entire great domain, revealing its significance.

Donghua Haoyi was the most dazzling prodigy born in this era from the Donghua Family, utterly peerless, and indomitably strong. Despite his youth, his cultivation was powerful, dubbed a young sovereign of his generation, ruler of the young elites of the Five Great Domains, unmatched and invincible.

If one spoke of the Donghua Family in this world, who would not mention Donghua Haoyi for his dazzling strength? Although there were few tales of his combat deeds in the world, every one of them was resplendently brilliant, making him the most radiant new star of the Five Great Domains.

He was also harbored with high hopes by the Donghua Family to strive for the Human Emperor’s Position.

This generation’s young sovereign of the Donghua Family announcing at the Ancient Battlefield to challenge the young prodigies of the Five Great Domains naturally drew the attention of many, as all rushed out to witness the fierce battle.

Soon after, Ye Chen also left, headed unmistakably toward the direction of the Ancient Battlefield.
