Chapter 603: Chapter 550: Worldly Experience, Washing Away All Traces of Makeup Update 73

As time passed, Tiandu Continent gradually became a place of focus among the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, reminiscent of the former glory of Purple Mansion Sacred Land, with one Immortal Force after another crossing over to appear in Saints Domain, entering into Tiandu Continent.

For everyone could feel that within Tiandu Continent, certain anomalies were happening; the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth quietly became much denser.

All signs were pointing to the fact that this land was undergoing a resurgence.

These signs could indicate that the Jiuyue Great Power’s inheritance was about to emerge, or perhaps the Great Demon Origin once refined in the past would appear, drawing the gaze of countless forces from the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

The inheritance of an Ancient Great Power could at least create an enduring Immortal Inheritance, a temptation no one could ignore.

Even those more powerful than the Emperor and Royal Family would be captivated.

The Origin of a Great Power Level Great Demon also held an unparalleled allure for an Ancient Great Power.

For this reason, in recent times, Tiandu Continent, which was already a convergence of many forces, witnessed the arrival of even more Ten Thousand Domain Forces, amassing in this ancient land.

Warriors were abundant like clouds, masters stood everywhere, and the entire land was filled with their formidable presence.

And during this time, young Heavenly talents followed the major powers.

Many forces were convinced that the Great Power’s inheritance might choose someone from the younger generation as its successor, which led to bringing along the most outstanding youth of the major powers.

Thus, within a short span of two or three months, one after another, powerful young elites appeared in Tiandu Continent, entering this ancient land to compete in an alternative struggle for the path of the Human Emperor.

In an instant, Tiandu Continent became a boiling point of tension, becoming a main gathering place for the younger generation, as one after another, brilliant Heavenly Prides emerged, dominating the land of Tiandu, while also constantly colliding and competing fiercely.

Naturally, adding to their number were the young Kings, each a true dragon or phoenix among people, exuding strong regal auras that almost suffocated the other young Heavenly Prides, forcing them to give way.

Even rumors had it that a supposedly Immortal True King among the supreme Heavenly Prides had appeared and would join the struggle for the Jiuyue Great Power Origin.

During this tumultuous period, exceptional Heavenly Prides emerged, dominating the scene and becoming renowned across the world.

Yet regardless of their status, none had absolute confidence in prevailing, and all felt immense pressure.

Everyone was aware that within Tiandu Continent was a forbiddingly powerful character—the Combat Saint King.

A presence that caused all factions to fear and feel uneasy, though he was only a Half-Saint, everyone understood the Combat Saint King’s invincibility.

He revived the Mythical Tenth Layer Heaven, and a being truly invincible among his peers, and even when the Four Great Half-Saint Kings joined forces against him, he easily suppressed them within the same realm, capable of slaughtering Saints beneath the stars.

Such an exceedingly formidable person, who could rest easy?

Unless one broke through into the Saintly Treasure Realm, in this world today, how many could match him?

Perhaps even an Immortal True King at the same level would find it difficult to contend against the Combat Saint King.

After all, he was of the Mythical Tenth Layer Heaven, surpassing others by one entire layer.

However, such a monstrous talent that made all the major forces extremely wary was precisely someone they could not touch. With several Ancient Great Powers stepping forward to protect him, anyone daring to make a move was simply seeking death.

It was precisely for this reason that he was most worthy of dread.

One thing to be thankful for, though, was that ever since the Combat Saint King had intervened three months ago to rescue a powerful member of the Heavenly Slaying Alliance, he seemed to have vanished without a trace, as if he had left the Tiandu Continent altogether, with no further news of him.

Had the Combat Saint King really left the Tiandu Continent?

Many forces were quite curious!

But what no one knew was that at this time, Ye Chen had not left the Tiandu Continent. The inheritance of the Jiuyue Great Power would soon be revealed, and how could he miss this opportunity?

However, he was not solely focused on secluding himself for arduous cultivation—too much would be as bad as too little. Twelve years of seclusion were already long enough. He could not undergo bitter training again in a short period, what he needed to do was to maintain a natural state of mind, to deal with people and handle matters calmly, and that would be sufficient.

He understood this principle clearly. Therefore, he chose to simmer down, conceal his aura, and even utilized a secret technique of the Combat Saint Technique, "Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth," which was not just about changing one’s identity and appearance. It was also capable of completely altering one’s Original Aura, a top-notch secret technique, imbued with infinite marvelous uses.

Employing Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth, Ye Chen left the base of the Heavenly Gate and began to wander the Tiandu Continent, silently experiencing the meaning of life amidst the Red Dust, hoping to wash off all his worldly impurities, to become as smooth and powerful as a polished jade.

The Combat Saint Body might be supremely powerful and vigorous, but it was a bit too overbearing. He needed to balance hardness with softness; only by combining the two could he truly be invincible.

Hence, Ye Chen abandoned the stance of invincibility.

One day, he arrived at a quiet lake in the Southern Domain of the Tiandu Continent, transforming from a heroic and handsome young man into an ordinary-looking one, even his Original Aura had been completely changed.

Even a Heavenly King Realm powerhouse, if present, would have had difficulty discerning his true identity.

He wore a wide-brimmed straw hat and a loose robe. Seated cross-legged on the lakeshore, he held a bamboo rod in his hand, fishing, motionless, as if he were in deep meditation or had turned to stone.

The bamboo rod had a line but no hook; he wasn’t fishing for fish but for a kind of patience and a calm mental state.

Autumn leaves would fall, one by one, resting upon his body, piling up on his straw hat.

Day and night, he remained completely still; even a python that slithered close by mistook him for a stone statue.

Birds alighted on his head and shoulders.

Only after three days and nights did he finally move, shifting from absolute stillness to motion, startling the birds on him into flight.

The next morning, he was no longer fishing but had transformed into a woodcutter, entering the forest with a battered axe in hand.

Despite possessing the supreme saintly might to destroy heaven and earth, he was sweating profusely, laboriously chopping down a slim tree that took him hours to fell.

Yet his expression was serene, his mental state peaceful, as he continued to chop down another tree.

After three days and nights, all the trees in this hill, as thick as bowls, were felled by him, leaving a pile of firewood on the ground, as high as a small mound.

Then, he transformed into a hunter, venturing deep into the mountains to hunt, using long arrows to hunt down lions, tigers, and other fierce beasts...
