Chapter 998: Chapter 981: Ancient Divine Spirit, Taihao Ascends to the Throne!

[Seeking recommendations, today has been rough!]

"My lord, the Qi destiny system from Divine Marquis to God King was deduced by our Human Clan’s Divine Sky God King, a complete set of Qi destiny cultivation methods, passed down from generation to generation in the five regions of our Human Realm!"

Xiao Chen still spoke with utmost respect, concealing nothing in the face of such a mysterious figure.

"Defying the heavens to conquer the emperor!"

The mysterious voice fell silent for a long while as if stirring up a memory. After what seemed a long time, it finally spoke again, "I never imagined the descendants of my human race would achieve such a feat. Time flies, it appears the way of Martial Arts within the Human World has changed considerably. It’s been such a long time... so long that it has erased everything."

"Blood Essence Battle Body, with flesh and blood crystallized, that is the ancient body cultivation method of my human race, rivalling the extremely powerful bodies of the Desolate Divine Spirits!"

Xiao Chen felt his whole body being thoroughly scrutinized once more, but he remained silent, waiting for what the mysterious person would say next.

"Nine-tiered towers completed, that’s barely acceptable!"

The mysterious voice paused, seemingly contemplating something.

At this moment, Xiao Chen had a slight epiphany. He vaguely felt the mysterious person was not so concerned with his Combat Qi cultivation but paid more attention to his physical body. He couldn’t tell if this was just a delusion.

"Alright, stand on the altar. I’ve said before, if you meet my requirements, you’ll have a chance to receive my inheritance. Whether you can obtain it, will depend on your destiny!" With the fall of these words, the space became quiet once again.

As Xiao Chen stepped onto the altar, a golden divine brilliance flashed. This power was identical to the Desolate Character Talisman left to him by the mysterious Divine Marquis, belonging to the same force.

Divine power!

Yes, divine power!

Divine power does not mean it holds sacred strength, but rather it’s a name for a type of force, just like Blood Qi, Combat Qi, and so on.

In simple terms, it’s the power used by divine beings!

Vast and boundless, it contains endless great power!

In this era, divine spirits have long perished. Even if there is divine strength, it’s only from some strong ones who acquired ancient relics or incomplete ancient texts from the era of Desolate Divine Spirits, developing into divine strength which is, however, merely mottled divinity.

Therefore, even with divine brilliance, it no longer qualifies to be called divine strength. Legend has it that divine spirits’ power is higher than Combat Qi and Blood Qi. Only the great power of royal might can contend with it!

Xiao Chen had also encountered divine strength before. Tiantai Xuan, a celestial maiden from the Tiantai War Department, had divine strength. Yet Xiao Chen could perceive that her divine strength was also impure and seemed to be an incomplete legacy from a divine spirit.

Hum!

As Xiao Chen was lost in thought, the entire altar lit up with golden divine brilliance, and the towering Ancient Mountain above also manifested phenomena. The divine light from the altar cast a huge shadow upon the Ancient Stele.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen’s figure was engulfed by the shadow!

"What is this?"

Instantly, Xiao Chen felt as if he had entered a sky of colorful clouds, with auspicious energy rising and divine brilliance shining down majestically. Even his mind felt somewhat overpowered in an instant!

A gigantic Stone Gate, as imposing as a mountain!

The Stone Gate was suspended in mid-air, stately like an Ancient God Mountain, and all the colorful clouds and divine brilliance were falling from this immense gateway!

Standing below the gate, Xiao Chen felt like an ant, overwhelmed by an immense pressure not just on his body but also deep within his soul!

The waterfall-like colorful clouds were actually heavier than the Chaotic Airflow of the outside world and even had sharp edges, causing metallic clinks when they landed on him!

Resonating with strength!

Above the gate, there were three twisted runes, ancient and vast, emitting a repressive aire that suffocated Xiao Chen!

They were unrecognizable to him!

The runes seemed alive, the three characters behaving as if they were unique life forms, certainly not the script of this era.

As Xiao Chen’s mental waves reached out, the three living runes inspired a flash of insight within his mind.

Divine Text!

These turned out to be the script of ancient Divine Spirits from the Desolate era!

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, for the Divine Spirits of the Desolate era belonged to an age with endless legends across the Desolate Land and All Heavens and Myriads of Realms!

In that era, gods abounded, immensely powerful. Even the emperors of today would not dare to lightly compare themselves to the divine beings. The reason being, the emperor-level martial artists were born at the twilight of the desolate wilds, a time when the gods had already stepped into their dusk. Even if some deities remained, they gradually perished in the passage of time.

However, according to the legends of the desolate wilds, deities do not die. Born as gods, this is an aspect that martial arts emperors simply cannot match. Despite having the strength to battle all heavens, they, too, have their dusk years!

In essence, divine beings are immortal, emperors meet their end!

Desolate God Mansion!

Xiao Chen whispered lightly, his eyes filled with shock!

Divine Mansion!

This was actually a divine mansion of a divine being!

The abode belonging to a divine being!

But the mysterious person he had seen was clearly of the human race. He could sense deep within his bloodline that it belonged to his human ancestry!

It was a mark from the deepest part of their bloodline, and despite the eternal years and generations of proliferation, this racial mark would not be erased!

Moreover, if it wasn’t for this, how could he have arrived here? Divine beings are born as gods, they are the earliest forms of life born from this land. In actuality, they can also be viewed as a race, the God Clan!

Humans, gods!

At this moment, even Xiao Chen could hardly discern clearly what kind of existence he was facing. Divine power, the human race—two entities that never should have intersected, yet had merged into one before him!

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated, stepping through the divine brilliance and walking towards the archway mountain-like in front of him. There was no turning back for him now; he wanted to see what secrets lay within!

...

While Xiao Chen was unraveling the secrets within his Divine Mansion, in the Eastern Emperor Domain of the Eastern Wasteland, in Eastern Emperor City!

The auspicious dragon of the Eastern Emperor Domain kept letting out resounding roars, a heavenly phenomenon!

The void gave birth to lotuses, ethereal golden lotuses fluttered about, springs of sweet water bubbled from the earth, and divine flowers soared. Various phenomena occurred.

Within the Eastern Emperor Inner City, of the imperial Taihao Family!

Purple qi ascended, a hundred-mile-large fortune energy column descended within the inner city!

Over the entire sky vault, the laws of heaven and earth manifested, accompanied by the heavenly music of the great dao. And some warriors of the Eastern Wasteland City, under the manifestation of these laws, couldn’t help entering into a state of epiphany, gaining a stroke of fate!

"Undying Martial Soul, arise!"

From deep within the Taihao Clan’s estate in the Eastern Emperor Inner City, a voice of heaven and earth resounded!

Hum!

Instantaneously above the sky vault, a green law of the great dao poured down from above, thick as a heavenly column!

The Taihao Family’s imperial direct descendant was crowned king!

"The imperial direct descendant, not yet twenty-five years of age, has developed an Undying Martial Soul and ascended to the Supreme King Realm. He is likely to inherit the throne!"

Throughout the vast Eastern Emperor City, countless warriors with shock in their eyes looked towards the central Taihao estate, their hearts trembling, even their gaze filled with an irrepressible astonishment!

"That’s the imperial direct bloodline, at such an age, to have proven the path of the kingly martial arts!"

Above the Eastern Emperor City Heaven’s Destiny Floating Island, an old man running a street stall, in front of his stall, had various bronze lamps spread out. It was the old man from whom Xiao Chen had once obtained the Fire Dragon Beast Lamp.

The old man gazed at the phenomenon in the center of the imperial city, murmuring to himself.

"The Sea Emperor’s direct bloodline from the North Sea has been crowned king, the direct descendant of this generation’s Fire Emperor from the Southern Border has already reached the seventh realm of the kings, and is not yet two thousand years old. A reincarnated spirit child from a hidden family in the Western Region has also ranked as a king a decade ago."

"A descendant of the Central Plains’ Wenwang Palace, the ethereal Heavenly Maiden, and the young warriors of the Human Emperor family are all about to take on the world. They’ve begun to make their conquest across all heavens. It seems my Eastern Wasteland has been somewhat slower!"

"With the great era upon us, our human race’s fortune is nourishing back. Young powerhouses are emerging. It seems a new round of conquest is about to commence. It remains to be seen how many of the younger generation will succeed this time."

The elderly man mumbled to himself—it was not the so-called twenty or thirty-year-olds he referred to, but warriors under two thousand years.

"Enough, idle for these years, my old bones have loosened. It’s time to stretch them out. With the new generation emerging, this old skeleton should clear some obstacles for them." The old man slowly, leisurely packed up his stall and just like that, disappeared into the vast crowd, without a single warrior noticing!

In the next moment, within the Netherworld Small World where the Divine Marquis Palace was located, an old silhouette materialized and went straight into the Divine Marquis Palace!
