Chapter 319: Chapter 283: Meeting the Divine Spirits of Tiandu!

Traveling through the Space of Plane, the Divine Ship moved far faster than usual. In just three hours, it had crossed a staggering distance of three hundred thousand miles and appeared in the Western Desert of the Western Regions.

The climate of the Western Regions on the continent was arid, dominated by vast deserts that could stretch for thousands of miles. The deserts almost completely merged together, forming the sprawling expanse of the Western Desert that stretched tens of thousands of miles.

The land here was covered with red sands, burning under a relentlessly scorching sun year-round. The closer one got to the center of the desert, the more unbearable the heat became. It was as though one stood in the midst of a tripod furnace, continuously assailed by the flames. Even the Martial God would find it difficult to endure the relentless baking heat.

The reason for this convergence of major forces on the Tiandu Continent was that the construction of the Cross-border Channel was located in the desert.

The Divine Ship soared across the sky above the desert and from a distance, a colossal spatial black hole that spanned a thousand feet could be seen in the sky over the desert. Dark and deep, it emitted an overwhelming presence.

Even from afar, it caused one’s heart to tremble. This was the stable Cross-border Channel created by the powerhouses from other realms, linking the Tiandu Continent with the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms. Terrifying fluctuations continually emanated from it, counterbalancing and neutralizing the Origin Power of the Tiandu Continent to ensure its stability without destruction.

Ye Chen stood at the top of the Divine Ship, looking towards the Cross-border Channel with a solemn expression. Such a feat was not something a Saint-level powerhouse could achieve; it was likely the work of a Heavenly King Invincible, beyond the Saint Realm, and maintaining the stability of the channel must have come at a great cost.

The other Martial God powerhouses on the Divine Ship felt their hearts tremble even more, for the aura emanating from the channel was truly terrifying.

The Divine Ship swiftly traversed the sky. Far in the distance, an Alternate Space was discovered, alive with the presence of many powerful beings. Intense Blood Qi surged and among them, there were several strands as mighty as dragons, ascending into the nine-layered clouds. These were the Blood Qi of several Holy Realm Gods.

In the desert, these few Great Gods of Tiandu had purposefully carved out an Alternate Space. By doing so, they avoided the harsh heat of the desert and stood guard over the Cross-border Channel, ready and waiting in strict formation for battle at any moment.

The Divine Ship cut through the sky. Marked with the Divine Power of several Great Gods, it easily entered the Alternate Space without obstruction.

The scene before them changed dramatically. No longer was there the blazing desert of red sands that stretched for a thousand miles, but rather a land of spiritual rivers and mountains cloaked in dense Spiritual Energy. Powerful figures stood tall here, terrible Great Demons soared through the sky, their Blood Qi surging and roiling. Naturally, the entrance of the Divine Ship drew the attention of many.

But when they saw the young figure standing aboard the Divine Ship, everyone’s attention sharpened. That was Ye Chen, the leading figure of the Tiandu Continent’s younger generation!

Hadn’t Ye Chen and the other Ancient Heroes and strongest talents entered the King’s Ancient Road? How had he returned in just a few short days?

Before they could ponder further, the imposing Dao Waves of several most powerful beings appeared, and the Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leaders—Supreme Divine beings—made their appearance.

The crowd was astonished. They did not expect Ye Chen to receive such high-level hospitality, to be personally received by several Supreme Gods. Even the Sealed Great Ancestors of the Super Forces could not boast such treatment.

Several Supreme Divine Ancient Powers descended, and the Hongtian Great Saint arrived, landing on the Divine Ship and looking at Ye Chen with surprise, "Young friend Ye Chen, how come you have returned so soon? It’s only been a few days."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, "It’s not too early. I have reached the very end of the King’s Ancient Road, having seized all the fortunes along it, and have successfully returned."

"So quickly!?" Even though the Great Gods knew of Ye Chen’s extraordinary strength and that he might truly have the potential to complete the King’s Ancient Road, none of them had imagined he would do so this quickly. It had only been a few days, and he had already thoroughly completed the journey.

Ye Chen said, "Elders, we should talk further inside. It’s not convenient to discuss here."

"Alright, follow me," said the Hongtian Great Saint with a nod. The numerous Martial Gods aboard the Divine Ship bowed deeply in homage before quickly leaving with their war supplies, leaving only Ye Chen to follow the Great Saint to a magnificent palace that hung in the distant sky.

This was the Divine Ancient Hall, a place where the few Supreme Divine Ancestors usually meditated in seclusion, inaccessible to others.

At this moment, the Martial God Palace Master, the Old Mansion Master, the Ancient Ancestors from the Three Great Empires, the Hongtian Great Saint, and others gathered together and addressed Ye Chen, "We would ask you, young friend, to inform us about the happenings on the King’s Ancient Road. Was there any fortune at its end?"

Without beating around the bush, Ye Chen smiled faintly and said meaningfully, " After the dark comes the light, and at the end of the road, the Ten Thousand Domains are revealed."

This simple sentence exploded like thunderclap beside the ears of the Great Gods, shocking and riveting all who heard.

The meaning is quite clear now, the ultimate point of the King’s Ancient Road leads to the legendary Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

Even for the Great Spirits who had lived for at least a thousand years, having seen all manner of great events and long since cultivated the unflappable equanimity of old monks, they could not help but get excited at this moment.

To transcend the Tiandu Continent and head to new worlds is the dream of countless generations past and present. The ancestors’ relentless efforts, the millennium of preparation for the Heaven Punishment plan, were all ultimately aimed at breaking free from this heavenly prison, to burst out of the Tiandu Continent, and head towards the vast and boundless Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

Although it had long been anticipated that the end of the King’s Ancient Road might lead to the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, up until now it had all been mere speculation, unconfirmed.

After all, over the years, no one has truly reached the ultimate point of the King’s Ancient Road.

Now, with the truth finally confirmed, even divine beings couldn’t contain their excitement, and a composed figure like the Supreme Old Mansion Master was no exception.

The dreams of generations had finally come true— the road was right there at the end of the King’s Ancient Road, where the road ends, the Ten Thousand Domains are revealed!

"Is this really true, young friend Ye Chen?" asked the Divine Ancestor from the Jiuhua Empire excitedly, unable to help himself but to inquire once more, while the other divine beings also stared intently at Ye Chen.

They could not be blamed; it was simply too exciting.

Ye Chen naturally understood their feelings and said, "Respected seniors need not worry, this is indeed true. Not only did I witness the Ten Thousand Domains, but so did Yuan Jiu, Brother Wushuang, and others. We just didn’t take the final step out of fear that once we stepped out, there would be no return. Therefore, we chose to temporarily retreat from the Ancient Road to come back and inform you. But the path can be traversed, and even if we cannot break the seal of this heavenly prison, we can still leave."

"How wonderful, how wonderful it is! With this, the efforts of countless generations of our Tiandu ancestors have not been in vain. I never thought that we would see the way so clearly without even engaging in a life-and-death battle with the beings of the Exotic Realm. Young friend Ye Chen, this accomplishment is all thanks to you; your contributions are indispensable," exclaimed Hongtian Great Saint, both surprised and pensive.

None of the Great Spirits denied it: if it weren’t for Ye Chen, even though the Ancient Heroes could have eventually reached the end, it probably would have taken a considerable amount of time. They knew all about the dangers of the King’s Ancient Road from generation upon generation of young elites who trained and returned.

And only a young, extraordinary King-level character like Ye Chen, with the absolute battle strength to slay gods, could have plowed through all obstacles and made it to the end in the shortest time—where the road ends, the Ten Thousand Domains are revealed!

Ye Chen shook his head: "It was just luck. It was the effort of generation after generation smoothing out the difficulties that allowed me to lead them to the end at the fastest speed."

This child is remarkable; even at such a moment, he remains so humble. Such disposition caused the divine beings to sigh with respect.

"The end of the King’s Ancient Road can lead directly to the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms and even break the prison of our Tiandu Continent, allowing us to leave at any time, to a vaster world," lamented the Supreme Old Mansion Master. Even after learning this news, he still hadn’t been able to calm his emotions.

It wasn’t just him; other Gods of the Holy Realm felt the same way.

Generations after generations relentlessly strived, spending countless years, and there had been instances of Ancient Gods from the Ancient Era crossing space storms, leaving the continent, encountering the strong beings from the Exotic Realm, bleeding on the borders, and sending back various critical messages. They came to understand the immense difficulty of breaking free from the prison.

Today, they finally saw the dawn, and real hope emerged, unobstructed and immediately within reach. No one could calm down such an excited state of mind right away.

Watching the divine beings so deeply moved, Ye Chen suddenly sighed. No wonder they were so excited; having been trapped in Tiandu Continent for so many years, their ancestors’ efforts over tens of thousands of years had finally seen hope. He would be excited too.

The path was right before their eyes, yet whether they could leave was another problem.

As early as his first arrival from crossing the border from another realm, he briefly met his old friend, the War King, in the Cross-border Channel and received critical information.

Beneath the Tiandu Continent, a Great Demon comparable to Great Power is sealed. Having been sealed for a long time and worn down by the years, it had already broken some seals over the millennia and released some Demonic Qi, which contaminated the Origin of all beings in the Tiandu Continent.

Every person, every Demon Beast, and every being’s Origin had been infected with a trace of Demonic Qi, rooted here.

It’s one thing to stay in the Tiandu Continent, where seals left by the Jiuyue Great Power envelop the world, suppressing the internal Demonic Qi. But once one left the Tiandu Continent, the seals could not suppress it, and it would erupt. Even a God of the Holy Realm would turn into a demon.

Generations of Gods in the Ancient Era left the Tiandu Continent one after another, and the outcome was invariably becoming demons, slain by the strong from the Exotic Realm, bleeding on the frontiers.

The nature of their Demons Qi being monitored by the strong beings from the other realm is one thing, but the infection of Demonic Qi in the beings of Tiandu is another.

Demons are not tolerated by the world.
