Chapter 543: Chapter 494 The Promise of the Ancient Great Power 13 Updates

The world was shocked, another Ancient Great Power had defected to the Combat Saint King’s side.

This taboo lineage, this defiant Supreme, what virtues or abilities did he have to make one after another of the Ancient Great Powers come forward on his behalf? Just this power alone was enough to startle the heart.

The visage of the Undying Ancestor was unpleasant like never before. It was one thing for the Yan God Venerable, but now this supreme power of the Angel Clan was also standing with the Combat Saint King. The situation had completely reversed in favor of Ye Chen.

No less than six Ancient Great Powers stood by his side. How could they be opposed?

The Undying Ancestor’s expression was extremely unsightly, but in the end, he took a deep breath, and the heavens and earth rumbled. Then he tore through the firmament and left directly, leaving behind a cold snort, "Little beast of the Combat Saint lineage, let’s see how long these Great Powers can protect you."

After he spoke, he vanished into the void and left this ancient road.

Faced with the Undying Ancestor’s threat, Ye Chen just smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.

Although he was not an Ancient Great Power at the moment, everything he revealed proved that he had the potential to surpass them. It was just that he hadn’t yet grown into that potential.

Once he grew up, he would be able to suppress the Undying Ancestor.

He thought of his future self, plucking stars and seizing the moon with his movements, able to look down upon past and future, becoming the strongest Supreme of the future.

Meanwhile, the other Ancient Ancestor Great Powers on the side of the Undying had also left the ancient road and gone far away.

Ye Chen naturally couldn’t stop them. Aside from the Heavenly Gate Master, the other Ancient Great Powers were unlikely to really take action for him. It was already quite impressive that they were willing to stand on his side.

And unless it was a life and death duel, how could they possibly stop four Ancient Great Powers?

Letting these Ancient Great Powers leave was the best choice.

The Master of Ten Thousand Realms couldn’t help but take a deep look at the Combat Saint King and sighed softly, "Successor of the Combat Saint lineage, the defiant Supreme of the Ten-layered Heaven Level, the Ascender from the Lower Realm. It’s a pity that he isn’t part of my Ten Thousand Realm Palace..."

He felt a deep regret. Such a remarkable and rare talent through all ages belonged to the side of the Ascenders. Unfortunately, his earlier show of neutrality, though not causing Ye Chen to treat him as an enemy, also made it impossible for him to join the Ten Thousand Realm Palace.

Otherwise, growing up, who’s to say he wouldn’t allow the Ten Thousand Realm Palace to truly become a force comparable to the Emperor and the Supreme Clan?

The Alliance Army was also retreating, leaving this ancient road while the guardians on the ten Heroic Passes didn’t dare disturb the supremely powerful beings who had the capability to attack the Heavenly Pass.

Before leaving, Ye Gucheng took a deep look at Ye Chen, and at the same time, Ye Chen’s eyes shone brightly like pure light, slowly saying, "So it turns out you are also..."

Ye Gucheng nodded, his expression solemn, "Indeed, I am. There will be a battle between us in the future, but not now."

After saying this, a Great Power of the Ye Family intervened personally and took Ye Gucheng back.

Once the world became quiet again, the Yan God Venerable was the first to speak. He looked at Ye Chen and slowly said, "Young friend, may I ask how that lad is now?"

Only the Yan God Venerable who had lived for at least tens of thousands of years had the audacity to refer to the Ice Flame Heavenly King, Emperor Xia, as ’that lad.’

Ye Chen sighed and shook his head, recounting everything that happened on the Trial Continent in the Tiandu Continent.

That included the Heavenly Dao Oath, and of course, once the Dao Trace Divine Bottle was handed over, the binding of the Heavenly Dao Oath was also lifted.

Upon hearing this, the Yan God Venerable’s expression was calm, but anyone could clearly feel the endless fury within his eyes, enough to shatter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, obliterate time and space.

"What a Moluo Sacred Land, never would I have thought, to oppose my Yan God Sacred Land, they would not hesitate to this extent, hunting down Emperor Xia, placing him in jeopardy, wanting to snuff out the next generation of our clan’s guardians," the Yan God Venerable coldly snorted, his murderous intent overwhelming.

This Moluo Sacred Land was the enemy force against the Yan God Sacred Land.

He then sighed slightly, "Had it not been for Emperor Xia’s youthful impetuosity, neglecting to carry the Yan God Token that I gave him on his person, all of this need not have happened."

"Once I rescue Emperor Xia back, I will surely come and personally thank you properly," the Yan God Venerable bowed to Ye Chen. It seemed casual but, if this were to spread, it would shock everyone.

Because the Yan God Venerable was a true Great Power, he had never shown such respect to a junior, and just this gesture alone, if it were known, would be enough to deter anyone, aside from other Great Powers, from opposing Ye Chen.

Ye Chen quickly bowed, "Senior Yan, please don’t be like this. It was my duty, having been entrusted by another."

"Regardless, you have helped my Yan God Sacred Land a great deal, potentially saving my Yan God Sacred Land from decline. Without a doubt, here is a Yan God Token, the Supreme Divine Order of my Yan God Sacred Land. Should you encounter trouble elsewhere, wielding this Divine Order will allow you to mobilize all our forces. And if you really face insurmountable trouble, within it rests a strand of my Divine Thought. Just crush the Yan God Token, and I will not hesitate to intervene on your behalf once, as a token of my gratitude."

The Yan God Venerable handed a Red Gold Divine Order to Ye Chen. Shining with a red-gold luster, it was naturally not one of the Chaos Immortal Golds, but it was still extremely precious and contained a thread of the Yan God Venerable’s Divine Thought, infused with Great Power Ancient Power.

Should this news spread, countless people would surely turn green with envy.

The Yan God Order was the Supreme Divine Order of the Yan God Sacred Land. Although possessing this order did not place one on par with the Yan God Sacred Master, the ruler of that holy land, its power was such that even Saints would have to take notice, for it was directly bestowed by the Yan God Venerable and held true power.

Moreover, the Yan God Sacred Land was listed among the Supreme Sacred Lands of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms— not even the usual Immortal Forces dared to provoke it lightly.

And having an Ancient Great Power personally intervene on its behalf, there were few in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms who would dare to target or oppose it; even without crushing the Yan God Order, Ye Chen could now tread unchallenged across the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

Under heaven, who would dare to make an enemy of an Ancient Great Power, even other Ancient Great Powers were unwilling to provoke such a formidable peer.

Ye Chen did not decline; to do so would be true foolishness. He accepted the Yan God Order gratefully and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Yan God Venerable."

Witnessing this scene, the Yan God Venerable smiled, growing ever more fond of this young junior.

Furthermore, he recognized Ye Chen’s potential, seeing that this was no ordinary individual. Not only had Ye Chen survived a battle decades ago that he should not have, and the Yan God Venerable had reincarnated him, but Ye Chen was also the first since the Mythical Era to break through to the Ten-layered Heaven Level, a successor of the Combat Saint Lineage. All signs pointed to an extraordinary future for him, one that, barring unforeseen events, positioned him among the most powerful contenders for the path to becoming the Human Emperor.

Given the chance, he could become the next Supreme Human Emperor, sovereign over the Ten Thousand Domains, ruling as the true master of the realms for a hundred thousand years to come, where even Emperors and Royal Families would have to yield before his edge.

The gift of the Yan God Order was, indeed, an overture of friendship.

On the other hand, the Holy Feather Venerable of the Angel Clan stepped forward. With sixteen wings upon his back and surrounded by soft, resplendent Holy Light, he was the embodiment of purity— a distinctive aura of his clan.

Every member of the Angel Clan possessed a bright constitution, untouched by darkness, unless they were a Fallen Angel.

"My young friend, please relay the matter regarding the Emperor," spoke the Holy Feather Venerable.

Ye Chen shook his head, his expression one of bewilderment, "I apologize, Venerable. I’m not entirely sure myself. I only remember that within my Holy Corpse from a previous life, there was such an Emperor Divine Order that is very important to the Angel Clan and holds messages of significant importance to them."

He distinctly felt familiar with this Emperor Divine Order, for it had remained within his Holy Corpse, and he had numerous memories of it. Yet, for some reason, he always failed to recall them, as if bound by some restraint, preventing him from accessing those memories.

Soon enough, he understood that it was due to the shackles on his True Spirit, left by the Mysterious Person wrapped in Chaos Qi from the River of Time, which seemed to have sealed away his memory regarding the Emperor Divine Order.

He didn’t understand why his memory related to the Emperor Divine Order was restricted.

Hearing this, the Holy Feather Venerable was momentarily taken aback, a touch of anger on his face. Was this some sort of jest? But seeing that the Combat Saint King before him seemed genuinely confused, as if he had indeed lost a great deal of memory, the anger dissipated.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Gate said, "Fellow Daoist, do not take it to heart. With the circumstances at the time, it was fortunate enough that he could regenerate through reincarnation, but such a rebirth surely came at a price, perhaps a deficit to the Primordial Spirit, or something else, it’s unlikely that he has recovered entirely."

Upon hearing this, several Ancient Great Powers looked on with deep, understanding eyes, wearing solemn expressions.

The Holy Feather Venerable showed a hint of apology, "Young friend, I am sorry for my impatience. Please forgive me."

Ye Chen shook his head, replying, "Venerable, you should not blame yourself. I can understand your feelings."

The Holy Feather Venerable smiled a little and said, "Since the Yan God has given you a Yan God Order, our Angel Clan certainly will not be stingy. Take this as a token."

With a flip of his hand, a holy Divine Feather appeared, and although it was but a feather, everyone could feel the immense Divine Power it held, perhaps not inferior to a Heavenly King Level Warrior Weapon, a truly significant gift.

The Holy Feather Venerable stated, "This is the Divine Feather Sword, forged in imitation of the Great Emperor’s Heavenly Feather Holy Sword. It may not measure up to the real Heavenly Feather Holy Sword, but it was formed from a fallen divine feather of a top-end warrior of the Royal Family, containing traces of Dao Power from that mighty Royal Family. It can perform extraordinary attacks. Should you face danger, you may use it. With this Divine Feather Sword, you will be treated as an honored guest in our Angel Clan."

"Of course, since the Yan God has agreed to act on your behalf once, and you bring such significant Divine Items related to our Emperor’s whereabouts to our clan, we will not treat you poorly either. I promise you, unless it is a crisis involving the life and death of our clan, I can act on your behalf twice."

This declaration from the Holy Feather Venerable was staggering, even more so than the Yan God Venerable’s words.

Because it was a promise from a member of the Supreme Clan, the Royal Family, immeasurable in value. Promising to act on Ye Chen’s behalf twice was worth more than anything else.

As for the life and death crises of a clan—such matters were of no concern. In this world, who would dare to claim they could annihilate a clan like the Angel Clan, one of the Emperor Strongest Clans, not even the Human Emperor himself.

Promises from two Ancient Great Powers, powerful enough to let Ye Chen walk proudly; he might not be fearless in the face of other Ancient Great Powers, but he was now capable of self-preservation.

Some Heavenly Kings who remained on-site could only sigh with envy. Ye Chen had received such priceless commitments from two Ancient Great Powers, an extraordinary fortune that they themselves did not possess, stirring their envy and, perhaps, even jealousy.
