Eternal Holy Emperor

More than thirty Great Powers are confronting this seventy-thousand-year-old mythic figure from afar.

They did not recklessly make a move, instead surrounding Elder Xuan Dao, their tone quite peaceful, merely requesting to hand over the Combat Saint King, and nothing more, allowing him and the Alien Species Insect Queen to leave safely, and being willing to make a promise to the Heavenly Dao, vowing never to betray.

Yet Elder Xuan Dao released a terrifying Qi Mechanism that made all Great Powers present tremble, sweeping through the vast starry sky, shaking the stars, coldly uttering, "If you want to fight, then fight. But you’d better be psychologically prepared, for if a battle ensues, at least half of you will remain here forever."

With just a casual statement, the thirty-something Great Powers were immediately chilled to their cores.

Even though the opponent has begun to decline from their peak state, under the declaration of such a Peak Great Power, none dared to act rashly.

Fight?

Or not fight?

The thirty-something Great Powers, including eight Super Great Powers, were all indecisive.

However, Elder Xuan Dao completely ignored their decisions, turning away and leaving.

Unquestionably, this matter caused a huge uproar, spreading through the entire Great Universe with a great shock.

A Peak Great Power actually stepped forth willingly to aid the Combat Saint King, and in this era where Ancient Monarchs do not appear under the No King Order, it made various parties wary.

Not long after, this Old Immortal Peak Great Power once again brought Aben to the outside of Jiuyan Emperor Star.

Ultimately, they never entered, only confronting each other with gazes with the Eternal Sword God from afar, their Qi Mechanism flourishing, nearly triggering a world-shattering battle between these two Absolute Peak Powers.

The Jiuyan Emperor Clan was clearly on alert, aware that the Combat Saint King’s true self was among them, yet they remained fearless, not mentioning that the Heavenly Curtain shrouded the entire Jiuyan Emperor Star, along with the protection of the white-haired Eternal Sword God. More importantly, it was the domain of the Jiuyan Emperor Clan, with an Immortal Ancient Monarch overseeing it, and Supreme Emperor Weapons guarding it, fearing no one!

This is the confidence of a dignified Immortal Imperial Family.

"Senior Xuan Dao, my master—" Aben said anxiously.

Because Ye Chen was in a state of Enlightenment, concentrating entirely, without distraction from the outside world, he autonomously dissolved the Divine Power Avatar left beside them, leaving them unaware of Ye Chen’s present condition.

And trapped on Jiuyan Emperor Star, they were currently unable to leave.

"No need to worry excessively, young friend Saint King is strong, and he is pioneering in Enlightenment, proving he is in a pivotal state, and best not disturbed lightly, else it might cause an impact," Elder Xuan Dao said, yet he did not depart, instead sitting cross-legged outside Jiuyan Emperor Star, overlooking it, unconcerned about others, monitoring the Eternal Sword God within the Heavenly Curtain.

Should Ye Chen finish his Enlightenment and wish to leave, he could at least hold back this Eternal Sword God.

The Jiuyan Emperor Clan obviously sensed his intention, and their expressions grew unsightly, yet dared not to evict him.

Because Elder Xuan Dao was merely sitting outside the domain, never taking action, and under the No King Order, no matter if an Ancient Monarch was present, easy actions could not be taken.

The Eternal Sword God guarding outside remained indifferent, his gaze cold watching Elder Xuan Dao beyond the Heavenly Curtain, his voice colder than thousands of years of Profound Ice: "Xuan Dao you intend to become enemies with my Jiuyan Emperor Clan?"

Only with the same Great Power Peak, like the Eternal Sword God, did one dare to address Elder Xuan Dao so directly.

Elder Xuan Dao stroked his long, white beard, embodying a carefree immortal aura, smiling at the Eternal Sword God: "Longsheng old ghost, your words surprise me. I am merely sitting here without moving, without speaking, and yet you say I intend to become enemies with your Jiuyan Emperor Clan. When did your Jiuyan Emperor Clan become so domineering that you think the whole Ancient Universe belongs to you? Or are you truly wanting to exchange a few hands with me? If so, just say clearly, I am not one of those fools in your Jiuyan Emperor Clan. I can understand, and after several thousand years of not taking serious action, if you are the opponent, I certainly wouldn’t mind."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up, stretching a seemingly old, decrepit body, yet an immeasurable pressure, enough to shake the Ninth Layer Heaven, gradually spread out, shaking the stars and even the Heavenly Curtain, causing the Great Powers of the Emperor Clan to change color.

Momentarily, an ancient Giant God seemed to awaken, capable of destroying a Star Domain with ease.

Such Absolute Peak Power, even if joking, few would dare to belittle, let alone under the pressure released now, teaching the entire Jiuyan Emperor Clan to be on high alert.

The Great Powers of the Emperor Clan glanced towards the Eternal Sword God, the decision lay with this Emperor Clan elder second only to the Ancient Monarch.

"No interest in wasting energy fighting you!"

The Eternal Sword God remained indifferent and emotionless, merely flickering a cold, sharp gleam in his eyes.

In such a situation, even he dared not easily engage in battle.

Having reached Absolute Peak Power seventy thousand years ago, though never stepping the final stage, no one dared to underestimate.

Unless reaching that last step, he would not easily take action.

Perhaps more accurately, he lacked confidence in defeating the opponent.

"Is that so?" Elder Xuan Dao chuckled, then the boundless pressure vanished in an instant, as though it had never appeared. At this moment, he seemed like an ordinary old man, even taking out a chessboard with black and white pieces, saying to Aben, "Play two games with me, he won’t come out anytime soon, no point waiting idly, a game of chess to kill the time."

Aben agreed reluctantly.

Witnessing this, the group of formidable figures from Jiuyan Emperor Clan felt both angry and helpless.

The Eternal Sword God merely snorted coldly but did not speak further.

While playing chess with Aben, Elder Xuan Dao’s gaze moved towards Jiuyan Emperor Star, thinking silently, "Young friend Saint King, when will you finally emerge, only five years left."

Having promised thirty years of Dao protection, twenty-five years have passed.

Unaware of the happenings outside, Ye Chen remained in the magma world, his eyes focused, left hand wielding one Divine Skill, right hand wielding another, continually clashing, creating brilliant Sky Light, yet all terrifying fluctuations dissipated, replaced by Dao Runes flying endlessly, spiraling, then entering his eyes.

His entire being exuded increasingly a profound divine aura, his essence gradually rising, though twenty-five years have passed, he seemed poised to break through again during Enlightenment.
