Chapter 1919 - 1733: Nine Great Overlords of the Ancient Road!
Almost simultaneously, upon receiving the news that the Combat Saint King was still alive, several Emperor Clans led by the Jiuyan Emperor Clan in the depths of the universe also stirred, as did several Ancient Monarchs such as the East Arrival King and the Hongxu King.
Moreover, countless great powers spontaneously rushed to the cosmic edge.
Undoubtedly, this is destined to be a grand pursuit.
All of this is because of that fragment of the Emperor Body on the Combat Saint King.
The news that the Combat Saint King was still alive naturally spread to the Ultimate Ancient Road, causing a huge sensation.
Even at the fiercely contested rear of the ancient road, it caught the attention of several Ancient Road Dominators.
The Chaos Dominator manifested, his hearty laughter shaking the endless battlefield: "As a fellow Chaos Cultivator, he’s quite decent, not disappointing me. It’s a pity his cultivation level is a bit low. If it were me, it wouldn’t be like this."
"It makes me look forward even more. Perhaps when I seize his Chaos Dao Fruit in the future, it will be enough for me to transcend everything on the Chaos Path."
"Combat Saint King, your Chaos Fruit, I am eagerly anticipating."
Also on the endless battlefield, the Ancient Road Dominator present was not only the Chaos Dominator; the Emperor Huang was also among them.
He stood tall and mighty, like a giant god, wielding a Heavenly Sword, looking into the depths of the starry sky, silent, his eyes twinkling with unknown thoughts...
The Heavenly Reversal Warrior was also on this endless battlefield. Upon hearing the news, he said nothing, but suddenly his combat energy swept through the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates, shocking all parties of this vast battlefield, astonished by why he, who had always been immovable, suddenly erupted.
Bang—
The Heavenly Reversal Warrior struck with a palm, causing the endless battlefield to tremble, and stars fell like rain, as if it were the end of the world.
Yet he even blasted a Super Great Power in the distance, seriously injuring and then shattering them, blood scattering vast and wide.
Instantly, he turned and tore the battlefield space with his bare hands, entering it, leaving only a distant voice: "I await the arrival of the Combat Saint Lineage!"
On the other side of the battlefield stood another Ancient Road Dominator, Taiyi.
He also learned of the outside news. Originally sitting cross-legged and immovable, gazing down upon the battlefield, he then snorted coldly and took action.
Casually throwing an Immortal Battle Spear, he directly pierced through an opposing Super Great Power on the battlefield, nailing them to the highest point of the Heavenly Dome, and then surging with killing intent, directly dismembering the Super Great Power till they were utterly annihilated!
Deep within the endless battlefield, filled with boundless warfare, terrifying battles erupted every moment, with countless forces and countless strongmen constantly clashing, endless battles underground.
Yet here stood a tall tower, in a radius of ten thousand miles, no one dared to invade.
Even the other Ancient Road Dominators tacitly agreed not to take action here, countless forces, and strongmen were also filled with apprehension.
Because this place belonged to Tian Jizi’s Heavenly Mechanism Tower, not only protected by a Heavenly Mechanism Array but also followed by countless people, with experts as numerous as clouds, and, because of Tian Jizi’s identity as one of the nine ancient road tyrants, no one dared to easily set foot in.
At this moment, Tian Jizi stood at the top of the ninety-ninth floor of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, arms folded, clad in snow-white robes, elegant as a scholar, his smile preceding his words, evoking goodwill, without a trace of a grand Qi mechanism, like an ordinary scholar.
However, no one dared to underestimate him.
Because he could calculate everything, feared even by other Ancient Road Dominators.
And only he knows the hidden details of the fiftieth pass, so even Taichu Monarchs would treat him with gravity.
Now, Tian Jizi looked towards the highest point of the Heavenly Dome on the endless battlefield, towards the depths of the starry sky, smiling slightly: "Combat Saint King, you truly live up to the title of Chaos Young Supreme, a figure with great fortune, as my calculations suggest, how could you easily perish."
"Now, you are in a state of confusion, related to the Emperor Body, as well as yourself. But I have a hunch that if you break through, you will completely alarm the Great Universe and be qualified to contend with us Ancient Road Dominators."
"You, as you are now, I very much anticipate, hopefully, you can quickly return to the Ultimate Ancient Road."
"I believe those people cannot kill you, nor can they seize the supreme treasures on you."
"And I must thank you, for in the fiftieth pass, thanks to you, I was able to conceal my true fallback, allowing me to obtain it—"
He flipped his fair palm, revealing a King World Heart in his hand, with a sealed heart prominently in the center. Though it had been removed, shockingly, the heart was still full of flesh and kept pulsing.
And with each pulse, it was as if billions of thunderclaps were boiling, deafening enough to resonate throughout the heavens, containing a Heavenly Might that even Taichu Monarchs would tremble at—
Emperor’s Heart!
The Heart of the Emperor Body!
Very few know that in the Fiftieth Pass of those years, Tian Jizi did not make a miscalculation. On the contrary, he acquired the most significant Emperor’s Heart.
If it weren’t sealed within the King World Heart, locking in its aura, it would surely be detected by the world.
"I will succeed soon, and we shall meet before the ’ultimate’!"
Tian Jizi whispered to himself gently, then proceeded to enter a deep closed cultivation, embarking on his true grand plan...
On the endless battlefield, almost everyone gathered were the nine ancient road dominators.
Among them, the Goddess was strikingly present!
At this moment, the Moon Palace traversed the endless battlefield, Goddess Zhao Jingruo clad in female war armor, accentuating her heroic aura. Her tall and graceful figure was unmistakable, accompanied by the brilliant Taichu Immortal Light, overlooking the endless battlefield like an unparalleled Empress, unapproachable.
Ordinarily, she is aloof, untouched by worldly matters, high above. However, upon hearing the news, a sense of happiness emerged as she softly said, "Yue, you truly are unharmed."
Beside her were Yii Wu, Chen’er, Ruoxi, Yaya, and Little Chenxi.
Especially Yii Wu, Chen’er, and Ruoxi, who, after years of ancient road trials, have changed significantly. Even the once naive and innocent Chen’er had seen her cultivation surge, advancing by leaps and bounds, now standing in the Super Great Power Realm.
Yii Wu stood in the Eighth Layer Heaven of Great Power, truly worthy of the title Daughter of God, almost poised to contend for the position of Ancient Road Dominator.
However, the most astonishing was Ruoxi. Although her cultivation talent back then was just decent, notably inferior to Chen’er, Yii Wu, and others, she awoke some incredible potential within her over the years, surpassing all expectations. She hardly needed to train earnestly, yet her cultivation speed matched that of a typical Young Supreme.
Nonetheless, to better assist her brother and become a capable helper by his side, she trained diligently, more so than many young supremes. Her cultivation speed now surpasses even Yii Wu’s, her potential still boundless, continuously improving.
The speed of her cultivation and the enormity of her potential were so shocking that even the Goddess began to suspect whether Ruoxi’s true origins were also that of an Emperor’s daughter.
Unfortunately, she has always known only about her and her brother’s dependent existence, with no memories of her real parents, remaining uninformed.
It was only during a past journey to the Ten Thousand Domain Center when Emperor Ye’s Son Ye Cangqiong referred to Ruoxi as "Master Aunt," adding more mystery to her origins.
Now, the main ladies of the Moon Palace heard of Ye Chen’s survival and were elated, with Little Chenxi cheering and hugging the eternally young Yiyi. Her exquisite, beautiful little face beamed with a happy smile: "I knew dad was invincible, nobody could harm him."
"Yiyi——"
Yiyi, just a bit younger in her arms, nodded continuously with her big dark eyes.
Yii Wu lovingly rubbed her little daughter’s head, but concern still lingered on her unparalleled, beautiful face: "Now that the entire Great Universe knows, Brother Yue will face countless pursuits again. What to do?"
She wishes to leave immediately to support her husband, but the endless battlefield is peculiar; once entered, it’s difficult to leave.
Chen’er nodded as well: "I am also worried about Brother Qian Yue."
The Goddess’s expression was firm, saying: "There is no need to worry too much. Our husband is the greatest figure in the world, always surviving countless battles, turning peril into safety, resurrecting from death. This might be a new beginning for him; we should believe in him."
Upon hearing this, determination filled Yii Wu’s delicate face as she stated, "Indeed, Brother Yue is invincible. I always have a premonition that he will be a great being who reverses the future. If we are not strong enough, we will ultimately become a burden to him. So, now we should lay the foundation for everything here in the endless area, preparing for his arrival."
"All right!" Chen’er uttered a single word.
Ruoxi’s hair fluttered, radiating brilliant Immortal Light; she was gentle and serene but now exuded a sharp, menacing air, gaze surveying the endless battlefield: "Brother will eventually arrive here. By that time, I’ll establish an eternal Divine Throne for him, set up the Eternal Dao, and dominate the ancient road!"
In the endless battlefield, some rejoiced, while others worried; naturally, many gloated, hoping that the Combat Saint King would not evade the chasing of countless Great Universe powerhouses, ensuring they wouldn’t have to face an incomprehensible peerless enemy in the future.
Yet, all nine ancient road dominators and those ambitious to seize the ’ultimate’ held no such schadenfreude because they believed themselves invincible. Instead, they hoped for the Combat Saint King’s emergence, adding to the splendor.
Regarding all external matters, Ye Chen was unaware, as his Chaos Saint Soul mini form had long been lost in the endless dark space within the Great Emperor Reincarnation’s Mud Ball Palace.
However, he wasn’t discouraged at all. On the contrary, at this moment, his Qi Mechanism grew increasingly sharp and overwhelming.
Within the Chaos Saint Soul mini form, all anomalies were concealed. While advancing towards the deepest part of the Mud Ball Palace space, he gazed into the endless darkness.
Wherever his sight reached, it was pure darkness.
Yet such darkness provided him with brand new insights, a chance for a breakthrough!
