Eternal Holy Emperor

"Seek the Dao, pursue immortality, eternal and undying!"

The eight great characters exploded like a thunderclap in Ye Chen's ears.

It seemed like a vast pursuit of the Heavenly Sound of the Dao.

Burying an entire universe just for eternal life?

The price paid is excessively huge.

Ye Chen found it unworthy, asking, "Aren't Emperors already eternal and undying? Why seek the Dao to pursue immortality?"

Emperors can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao, possessing truly eternal life, already able to stand upon the River of Time, overlooking past, present, and future. Why pay the massive price of burying a universe just to enter the Primordial Immortal Realm?

At this moment, Elder Yan seemed like an enlightened sage, completely free from the prior state of bewilderment, speaking with a resonant voice: "Immortals, eternal and undying, because of the Primordial Immortal Realm!"

The succinct words immediately enlightened Ye Chen, as if a sudden understanding.

There are no undying beings, only indestructible worlds.

Even Emperors may not be eternal and undying, just like in the Mythical Era, where all the great emperors coexisted but encountered a terrifying Destruction War.

Even a mighty universe couldn't escape it, almost fully buried, preserved by the unimaginable cost paid by the mythical emperors.

The Primordial Immortal Realm is truly eternal and undying, even stronger than the Mythical Era, impossible to experience catastrophes like the great destruction of the Mythical Era.

This is why immortals are eternal and undying.

But Ye Chen felt there wasn't truly eternal and undying because didn't the Slaughter Immortal Ship also slay true immortals?

So what if they're immortals?

Weren't they also slaughtered!

And what of the Primordial Immortal Realm?

Wasn't it also attacked?

Though the price was the burial of a vast universe, life extinguished, it demonstrates that nothing in the world is truly eternal and undying, the Primordial Immortal Realm included, only it hasn't been fully invaded yet.

Elder Yan said, "The quest for immortality isn't about immortals but the Primordial Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm is undying, so immortals aren't undying. Seeking the Dao is about finding the Primordial Immortal Realm."

Ye Chen shook his head with a cold smile, always believing there are no undying heavens, only an invincible self.

As long as truly invincible, the Primordial Cultivation Realm must decay, only then can eternal immortality be achieved.

Of course, he didn't mention it, just firmly believing in his own Dao, looking at Elder Yan, asking again, "May I ask, did all the mythical emperors, the undying ones, enter the Primordial Immortal Realm?"

The world always speculated whether the emperors who didn't fall in the Mythical Era entered the Primordial Immortal Realm, but the majority believed they perished, thinking the Primordial Immortal Realm didn't exist.

Now that Ye Chen confirmed the existence of the Primordial Immortal Realm, he had this doubt.

Naturally, he knew some hadn't entered, like the mysterious person cloaked in Chaos Qi on the River of Time.

He merely wanted to ask if the emperors perished, if anyone entered the Primordial Immortal Realm, and how many hadn't entered.

"Some did, some didn't," Elder Yan answered, a response both expected and unexpected for Ye Chen.

Because he didn't expect Elder Yan to truly know and grew more suspicious of Elder Yan's identity.

Perhaps due to doubts about Elder Yan's identity, what exactly is his identity, at least not weaker than an Ancient Great Power.

This is Ye Chen's consistent belief, seeming more extraordinary.

According to Elder Yan's words, it seems not just one emperor remains in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms but others as well.

Who else?

Ye Chen was deeply puzzled, yet unaware, continuing his inquiry.

"It cannot be spoken to others." Elder Yan responded with this sentence, "Heavenly Mechanism cannot be divulged!"

Ye Chen looked up at the heavens, somewhat understanding, perhaps the Heavenly Dao is watching, sealing forbidden knowledge, not to be spoken, to avoid certain karma.

Rumbling——

The Chaos Sea was exploding because the Slaughter Immortal Ship was sailing toward Ye Chen's direction, massive waves erupting, rumbling and echoing, endlessly.

Ye Chen's expression shifted, hurriedly evading to the side, wanting to avoid, but discovered Elder Yan remained immovable, staying in place.

"Old sir, leave quickly, soon it will be too late."

Ye Chen called, sensing the unparalleled immense pressure from the Slaughter Immortal Ship cascading wildly, oppressing the heavens, exploding the sea realm, terrifyingly tremendous, as if it would crush the heavens.

The buried dark universe traveled rapidly with the Slaughter Immortal Ship, bringing endless death aura.

Yet Elder Yan shook his head, watching the Slaughter Immortal Ship ahead in a daze, saying, "I can't leave; I feel there's a mysterious memory trigger on this ship. I need to find it myself. I've lost too much memory; perhaps there, I can find what belongs to me."

Ye Chen was shocked, but Elder Yan waved his sleeve, unexpectedly moving Ye Chen's Dao body tens of thousands of miles away, avoiding the Slaughter Immortal Ship.

Afterward, in the Heavenly Eye, Ye Chen saw Elder Yan soar to the sky, rushing into the enveloped dark universe, even boarding the Slaughter Immortal Ship.

However, Elder Yan's figure vanished completely.

The Ancient Ring of Supreme Saint Emperor in Ye Chen's outside self's hand lost its glow.

Ye Chen was silent for a moment, no longer asking, just watching the distant Slaughter Immortal Ship, steering the broken dark universe, leaving rapidly, eventually fading into endless chaos.

His Dao body dared not pursue because this ship was inviolable, having slaughtered true immortals, possessing undying Qi mechanism. If it charged in, the Dao body might be destroyed instantly, possibly being tracked to the original self's location.

He didn't believe he could escape from such an invincible battleship that had slaughtered true immortals.

With a slight sigh, his outside self looked at the Ancient Ring of Supreme Saint Emperor in hand, somewhat lonely.

Since this person isn't Elder Yan, where exactly is the true Elder Yan now, why hasn't he appeared, what exactly happened.

This is a constant doubt in his heart, just never clarified.

Quietly containing all thoughts, Ye Chen's Dao body continued venturing deeper into the Chaos Sea, intending to continue exploring this chaos and attempt to cross to the other side of the Chaos Sea.

After reaching fifty thousand miles deep into the Chaos Sea, Ye Chen felt the world's suppression reaching an extreme, his power being weakened to the Ancient Saint level, unable to advance unless the original self came.

At that moment, he seemed to see a vast, infinite land emerging.

The other side of the Chaos Sea?
