Eternal Holy Emperor

Hongtian City Lord chuckled lightly, but did not pursue the victory further. Instead, he returned to the Trial Ancient City, came before Ye Chen, and spoke with a tone full of satisfied praise: "Truly, the student surpasses the teacher. Young friend, you are truly remarkable. To have fought against the God Slaying Ancient and emerged from their stronghold is something even I find hard to believe."

Ye Chen humbly replied, "It was mere luck for this junior."

"Young friend, you are being modest. Without substantial cultivation, merely relying on luck would not allow anyone to escape the stronghold of the Devouring God Clan." Hongtian City Lord shook his head, "It’s just a pity that the Devouring God Clan couldn’t be eradicated; otherwise, it would have been a golden opportunity."

Others were perplexed, as with Hongtian City Lord and this peerless Heavenly Pride capable of battling the God Slaying Ancient for an hour, the two formidable forces joining hands should have been enough to overpower the Devouring God Clan.

However, Ye Chen understood that the alarm had already been raised. Even if Hongtian City Lord were to gather troops for an assault, he would need to recover first, and this recovery would not be brief, requiring at least a month.

This period would be sufficient for the Devouring God Clan to relocate and vanish from public view.

Subsequently, Ye Chen, holding doubts, actively inquired some questions to the Hongtian City Lord, who, due to Ye Chen’s outstanding Heavenly Pride, responded to every inquiry.

During this Q&A session, he gradually learned why so many people were gathered at the Trial Ancient City.

The Supreme Ancient Road, although not as chaotic and influential as the Ultimate Ancient Road with countless Heavenly Prides from the Chaos Sea’s various ancient universes, is not as simple as merely having the Emperor’s sons and daughters.

This is a Supreme Ancient Road. Emperor’s sons and daughters may set foot on it, and those who have reached the Ten-layered Heaven Level young supremes are also qualified to embark on the road to undertake trials.

Of course, this was decided by the Protectors of the Supreme Ancient Road in recent years, as they realized what Ye Chen mentioned at the first Trial Ancient City—

Perhaps after this era, there will never be another Supreme Road.

The descendants of the various emperors of the Chaos Sea have all appeared on the Supreme Road in this era, meaning that the countless Supreme Trail emperor’s relics left by past emperors will inevitably be reclaimed by their descendants, and the Supreme Road that has endured for countless years will ultimately vanish.

The Ancient Road Protectors decided to let the Supreme Ancient Road shine in its final and most brilliant glory in this last era, allowing external young supremes to enter and experience it.

Naturally, not only young supremes but also those Heavenly Prides with Supreme Potential have the qualification.

Among them, some young elites from the cosmic starry sky races where the Supreme Ancient Road is located also qualify to embark on this path, and some young elites originate from extraordinary backgrounds, as descendants of Emperor’s sons and daughters.

Some are the descendants of Emperor’s sons and daughters of this era who entered the Supreme Ancient Road, while others are the descendants of past generations of Emperor’s sons and daughters.

Their parents battled on the Supreme Ancient Road many years ago, and some faced defeat, never returning to their respective ancient universes, instead remaining on the Supreme Ancient Road, living out their lives in regret and leaving behind offspring to be born in this era to continue their battle, hoping to clear a bright future on the Supreme Road.

There are also those who were disciples accepted by the Emperor’s sons and daughters, each genuinely brilliant and incomparable to the offspring of the Emperor’s sons and daughters, quite formidable.

The Mist Pass of the Trial Ancient City before their eyes is a gathering point for many branches of the Supreme Ancient Road as well as the external entrance into the Supreme Road, akin to the First Pass.

Hence, the Mist Pass holds numerous young elites.

Upon learning all this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile. He had painstakingly traversed the ancient path of the Cosmic Edge, enduring the attacks of the Thirty-Six Supreme Seals through the Supreme Ancient Gate, and after eighteen years of lonely forward journey just reached this place. Yet now he finds out that merely reaching the level of a young supreme allows smooth entry onto the Supreme Road.

It appears he wasted too much time on the branch roads.

However, only Ye Chen truly understood that during these eighteen years, he did not waste his time. On the contrary, he experienced a lot, went through numerous battles, and even those two Supreme Trials brought him substantial gains.

Moreover, during these eighteen years, he gained wealth beyond what most could imagine.

Ye Chen sighed lightly. If this is the case, he wonders if he might have the chance to meet some old acquaintances, or if all his old friends have entered that mysterious Eight Desolate Realm.

"Young friend, your strength is formidable. Although you are merely at the Great Power Fifth Layer Heaven, your overall combat power may quite possibly reach the realms of eight or nine layers of heaven, and within the trials of the Supreme Road, you will face little obstruction. If the opportunity arises, you may directly advance to the final Ten-layered Heaven Level, where the strongest are battling," Hongtian City Lord suddenly spoke.

"Ten-layered Heaven Level?" Ye Chen was slightly astonished.

"Indeed, it is the Ten-layered Heaven Level," Hongtian City Lord nodded solemnly. "The Ultimate Ancient Road has the Eight Desolate Realm, and our Supreme Ancient Road also has the Ten-layered Heaven Level. It is vast beyond measure, much larger than the Ten Directions Star Domain, and genuinely boundless, no less than the Emperor Realm, perhaps even greater. It is an ancient, colossal Great World that has existed since the Chaos’ Heaven and Earth Creation, residing in the Chaos Secret Realm."

"Almost all Emperor’s sons and daughters have entered the Ten-layered Heaven Level and started fierce battles."

"Moreover, as the Ultimate Ancient Road is vying for the final ’Ultimate,’ on the Supreme Ancient Road, the Emperor’s sons and daughters’ ultimate goal is to compete for the final ’Supreme!’

This is a great secret. Throughout history, the establishment of the Supreme Road was not only for the emperors to hone their offspring, making them grow continuously stronger, but also to leave the greatest, heaven-defying Immortal Fate—the Supreme!

Naturally, this ’Supreme’ is not the same ’Supreme’ but is the name for that heaven-defying Immortal Fate, much like the ’Ultimate’ on the Ultimate Ancient Road.

It is a heaven-defying Immortal Fate left jointly by the emperors, rumored to tempt even an Emperor or Supreme Immortal.

But historically, ’Supreme’ did not appear and was hidden and sealed, intentionally reserved by the emperors to manifest in this era, which perhaps is also linked with confronting the bloodstained future.

Consequently, from this epoch onwards, Emperor’s sons and daughters rarely appeared on the Supreme Road, but rather exploded into appearance within this era.

Naturally, since the Supreme Ancient Road allows outside Heavenly Prides to tread upon it, these individuals also qualify to compete for the ’Supreme’ within the Ten-layered Heaven Level.
