Chapter 317: Chapter 281: The End of the Road Reveals the Ten Thousand Domains!

Under the willows the flowers brightened, and at the end of the road, the Ten Thousand Domains appeared!

This was the most accurate description.

No one had ever imagined that at the very end of the King’s Ancient Road was a corridor, a corridor leading to the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

Ye Chen was astonished, and even Elder Yan was shocked.

On the Tiandu Continent, generation after generation of deities struggled incessantly, striving to leave the Tiandu Continent and travel to new worlds. Although they had weathered the most terrifying space storms, they had also encountered the slaughter of the exotic realm strongholds guarding the continent, shedding blood on the frontier.

This was a tragic history soaked in tears.

And now, at the very end of the King’s Ancient Road, there was a true corridor leading to the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms. Just one step forward, and one could completely leave the boundaries of the Tiandu Continent and enter into the vastness of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

Ye Chen and Elder Yan stood on the threshold of the stone gate, actively releasing their Divine Thoughts to survey the other side. There were no exotic realm strongholds’ guards, nor any eager eyes; it was a barbaric land within the Ten Thousand Domains, utterly uninhabited, home only to Primordial Ancient Beasts living there generation after generation. It could be said to be dangerous, yet from a certain perspective, it was also safe.

Under the dark willows, the flowers shine anew; at the end of the road, a new world awaits!

"Is this the land beyond our world that generation after generation of our Tiandu Continent ancestors yearned for?"

The others were excited too, including Yangg Wushuang and other Ancient Heroes as well as Xia Yang and the rest, for there stood an ancient stone stele next to the ancient gate, with inscriptions clearly marking the path as one leading outside of the Tiandu Continent to the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, to an even more vast and boundlessly increased Great World Heaven and Earth.

Reaching the end of the Ancient Road meant having the qualification to leave the Tiandu Continent and venture into the more vast and fantastically diverse Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

From the messages on the stone stele, they learned that the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms were truly boundless, a vast heaven and earth; the Tiandu Continent was but a minor presence within the Ten Thousand Domains, and the exotic realm strongholds guarding the Tiandu Continent were just a small part of the Ten Thousand Domains.

There, the vastness was indescribable, an ancient heaven and earth that had existed for time immemorial, full of countless strange and fantastical occurrences, home to the oldest of races, dominated by supreme beings who could pluck stars and capture moons with ease, containing immortal ancient Holy Lands and Great Sects, with never-sinking cities in the sky, holding Magic Techniques leading to Eternal Immortality, and the highest Supreme Emperor’s Throne that reigns over the Great Universe and Ten Thousand Realms...

The ancient texts stirred all the young and powerful to excitement, and amidst their hesitation, they eagerly anticipated that ancient Great World.

In the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, as long as there was enough opportunity and talent, one could become a true powerhouse.

The strongest individuals from the Tiandu Continent, though powerful when viewed within the Ten Thousand Domains, were far from the strongest. There were even more powerful figures, including Ancient Great Powers who could obliterate the Tiandu Continent with a wave of their hand, and supreme beings capable of Heaven and Earth Creation.

It was a vast and endlessly fascinating Great World, a world full of opportunities, waiting for them to explore, a place where they could unleash their full potential.

All this and more were the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, a Heavenly Great World brimming with opportunities and limitless marvels, filled with their anticipation!

But Ye Chen, gazing into the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, did not take a step forward. He looked towards the other young generations with faces filled with expectation and excitement, his figure stretching across the front like a Demon Mountain, blocking everyone’s path.

"Ye Chen, what are you doing?" Xia Yang couldn’t understand. The new world was ahead, just one step away, so why stop them from advancing?

Ye Chen said, "The Heavenly and Myriads of Realms are indeed a fascinating Great World Heaven and Earth, with vast and limitless territories, countless races, billions of living beings, and innumerable Cultivators. But it’s not all bright and shining, like those young kings we encountered in the Void Sky Domain. Who among you dares to claim they could resist?"

His words poured down like a bucket of icy water, sending shivers through everyone as they were startled awake from their entrancing dream.

It was a harsh reality; the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms represented a broader world and endless opportunities, but they also posed dangers far greater than those of the Tiandu Continent.

This was an unknown Great World Heaven and Earth, full of countless opportunities but also accompanied by countless dangers, not the Tiandu Continent, inhabited by terrifying young kings.

Such individuals were unparalleled in power, any one of them could easily sweep away everyone present without a contender. Only someone as supreme as Ye Chen could contend with them; to face them would mean a path to certain death.

Though small, the Tiandu Continent was akin to a safe harbor, sheltering their safety.

Ye Chen continued, "Moreover, once you step through this corridor, you may never be able to return; it may well be a one-way passage. And beyond the corridor, there may live beings as strong as many gods. With a turn of their Divine Thought, we could all die. Are you sure you want to go?"

Ye Chen’s words were like buckets of cold water splashed over them, chilling their hearts and making them tremble. They had never imagined that the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, which they dreamt of, was not only no paradise but could possibly be a dangerous place, fraught with peril at every turn.

Suddenly, Li Taixu said, "Ye Chen, is the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms really that dangerous?"

Ye Chen shook his head, "What do you think of those young kings on the King Ancient Gate?"

The crowd was taken aback, as was Li Taixu, not understanding why Ye Chen suddenly asked this question, but he still answered, "Very powerful. They are called young kings and are even a bit stronger than Donghua Haoyi. We are no match for them; only you can contend with them."

Ye Chen said, "These young kings are indeed very powerful, kings of their generation, their martial prowess reaching the pinnacle. All of you together are no match for any one of the young kings."

The statement was quite blunt but true, especially for the Five Great Ancient Heroes, who had faced young king Donghua Haoyi three years ago and were far from being his match. Even though three years had passed and they had grown stronger, there was still a gap between them and Donghua Haoyi. The five of them together might barely manage to fight, but defeating him would be very difficult.

As for the other outstanding youths, none had reached the peak of Martial God, and even with a number of them, around thirteen or fourteen, they were still of little use against a young king. To put it bluntly, they might even be more of a hindrance.

People like King Hao, Flame Dragon King, Purple Snow Fairy, and others were even stronger than Donghua Haoyi had been. They were no match either.

"However, does being a young king make them invincible in their generation?" Ye Chen suddenly remarked. This made all the young elites astonished, as if realizing something, their hearts trembled. Could it be that young kings were not the strongest?

Ye Chen smiled faintly, somewhat indifferent, but did not speak. His silence sent shivers of despair through them, as they realized that being a king was not synonymous with being the strongest; even among their peers, there were those more powerful.

The kings were already terrifyingly powerful and unmatched in battle, making them all feel as though they were facing an insurmountable great mountain, something to be looked up to but never crossed.

But according to Ye Chen, there were even more powerful beings beyond the kings, truly unparalleled in all the world.

How could this be possible?

The crowd turned pale, but Ye Chen did not appear to be fabricating the truth, stunning them all.

Ye Chen merely smiled faintly without a word. The site fell into a silent void, and no one spoke again.

Ye Chen was not in a hurry; in truth, the passage to the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms was already before his eyes. He no longer needed to ponder over how to leave the Tiandu Continent and head to the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms. He also had no need to worry about danger, as Elder Yan’s presence was enough to ensure his personal safety to the greatest extent.

Moreover, he was not entirely good-natured; he had other cards up his sleeve.

Eventually, Ye Chen said, "You all need not be conflicted. The gate leaving the Tiandu Continent is right here; it will not close. Moreover, this time we are only passing through the King’s Ancient Road; we are not yet ready to leave the Tiandu Continent. It would be too hasty to leave rashly. We should return and thoroughly discuss it with the elders; that would be the proper course."

"Moreover, I admit my previous words were somewhat excessive. Although the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms are dangerous, they are indeed filled with opportunities. You all needn’t worry about facing a life and death crisis immediately. Some things do not need to be contemplated in such a negative light."

Upon thorough reflection, the young elites agreed that Ye Chen’s words were reasonable. Moreover, the amount of information was overwhelming this time; they should return and discuss with the high-ranking members of their respective forces.

They all agreed to first make a trip back, then decide. And before leaving, Ye Chen sealed the passage to prevent any damage or unauthorized entry, naturally including Elder Yan’s power in the sealing.

All obstructions along the King’s Ancient Road had been removed, and their return journey was unhindered. Even the Soul Stealing River would not pose a problem, as they boarded the Divine Ship and broke through the void to depart.

Under Ye Chen’s control, the Divine Ship swiftly weaved through layers of the void. All magic arrays blessed by various divine beings on the Divine Ship were activated, streaking across the King’s Ancient Road like lightning bolts, flashing by in a single strike.

A journey of tens of thousands of miles was crossed in merely a day’s time. Eventually, the Divine Ship appeared at the exit of the King’s Ancient Road, at the site of an Ancient Hall. There, Ye Chen led the young elites to emerge.

Inside the Ancient Hall, there were no other divine beings present, only an elder from the Heavenly Divine Realm waiting for them. His eyebrows revealed an unmistakable worry. Upon seeing the group emerge, he eased somewhat and let out a sigh of relief, becoming excited, "Did you all truly pass through the King’s Ancient Road completely?"

"We have passed through completely and acquired our fortune," Ye Chen nodded. Yet before the Heavenly God could speak, Ye Chen caught sight of the unresolved worry in his eyebrows and said with a frown, "Elder, tell us, has something happened?"

Everyone became tense, sensing the anxiety and growing worried.

The Heavenly God couldn’t help but say, "An army from an Exotic Realm is about to attack. They’ve successfully opened a stable space channel that can’t be destroyed. They are poised to strike at any moment, and it’s possible that a great battle has already begun. I was dispatched by several Divine Lords to receive you and am not quite clear on the situation there."
