Eternal Holy Emperor

"Impossible!"

It was the Heavenly King of the Tianxu Empire roaring, causing the entire Treasure Pavilion to explode.

The moment everyone's eyes swept over, they saw the pavilion in disarray. The Heavenly King Tianxu was furious, his hair standing on end, filled with rage, roaring and screaming for reasons unknown, which shocked all the powerhouses in the Imperial City.

Yet, in contrast, the other main figure, the Combat Saint King, appeared very relaxed, sitting on the throne with his legs crossed, tasting the precious Dao tea, always appearing indifferent, and even laughingly advising the Heavenly King Tianxu to cultivate one's mind and temperament, and not to be so angry.

All the powerhouses were sweating; it's estimated that only the Combat Saint King could remain so calm in the face of the Heavenly King's anger.

Everyone was paying close attention, wanting to know what was going on, but how could the Heavenly King Tianxu let them understand? With a flick of his sleeve, he twisted the void to shield it, and no one could detect what was happening there.

Yet the tension was palpable, for from the earlier state, it was clear that the Heavenly King Tianxu was about to engage in battle with the Combat Saint King.

In the distorted void, Ye Chen maintained his smile, guarded by the power of faith in his brow, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the precious tabletop carved from Divine Jade. He laughed and said, "Senior Tianxu, this is not a one-sided demand, but a request and a trade. Why not enjoy it?"

Although the Heavenly King Tianxu had been in slumber for many ages, he appeared very spirited, and looked like a handsome middle-aged man. If not for his snow-white hair, how many people would realize he was of an old monster level?

At this moment, he stared angrily at the young man in front of him. Over the years, he truly had not encountered such a demand, even feeling somewhat bullied.

However, as the other party said, this was a trade, not a one-sided demand.

He only felt a headache when recalling the other's request because it was so difficult.

Looking across the entire Ancient God Continent, what but this request would be so challenging for him, a Heavenly King, to handle?

Ye Chen rose and said, "Senior, the short-term harm and long-term benefits, having lived for over ten thousand years, you should have a broader perspective."

As his words fell, Ye Chen ascended to the sky, then turned and left without looking back.

A long time later, the Heavenly King Tianxu smiled wryly, shaking his head slightly helplessly. This young man was truly difficult to handle.

Yet, just as the other party had said, at most it would only be short-term harm, with long-term benefits.

But fulfilling the other's request was extremely difficult. However, he hadn't expected the other party to capture the truth from mere clues.

He sighed softly, somewhat helplessly, and waved his hand to call Emperor Tianxu over to deliver an order.

From now on, the entire Emperor Dynasty would unconditionally follow the orders of the Combat Saint King, whose orders were second only to his, the Heavenly King Ancestor, and even the Emperor must comply.

Undoubtedly, this was a huge decision, shocking the upper echelons of the entire Emperor Dynasty and arousing curiosity about what important matters the Combat Saint King had negotiated with the Ancestor to grant him such immense power without reservation.

But apart from those involved, who else would know?

Of course, only the Emperor Dynasty's upper echelons were aware of this decision, and it was not allowed to be spread outside, as it was personally decreed by the Heavenly King Ancestor.

Such instances happened in every Emperor Dynasty, yet no one ever knew what the Combat Saint King talked about with these Heavenly Kings that caused all Nine Great Emperor Dynasties to successively issue supreme decrees granting supreme authority over everything.

This power, commanding the Nine Great Emperor Dynasties, was tantamount to ruling the entire Ancient God Continent.

Invisibly, the Combat Saint King became the Sovereign of the entire Ancient God Continent, though the most mysterious Ancient Divine Palace had yet to show itself.

However, Ye Chen was not overly eager about the Ancient Divine Palace. Not to mention that Ye Chen did not know its actual location; even the Nine Great Dynasty Kings were unaware, as it existed in another alternate space-time, and unless the strong from the Ancient Divine Palace showed themselves, no one could enter.

Not even the Heavenly King.

With the Divine Jade Token, Ye Chen naturally had the confidence to enter the Ancient Divine Palace.

On this day, Ye Chen personally issued a request to the Nine Great Emperor Dynasties to use their intelligence networks to find the whereabouts of the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor.

Because he found it quite strange. For some time now, he had caused such a huge disturbance, even shaking the Ancient God Continent, and it was impossible for that treacherous dragon not to know or not to show up.

But for such a long time, he never received a single useful piece of information about the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor.

Especially in the Tianxu Imperial City, the memory jade indicated the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor had mentioned being there, but then disappeared, even after the entire Tianxu Dynasty made efforts to search the entire Imperial City thrice, no trace of that treacherous dragon was found, much to his surprise.

Finally, through the powerful intelligence network of the Nine Great Dynasties, he obtained some useful information and found some traces of the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor in the East District of the Tianxu Imperial City.

There, he found a mansion left by it, very luxurious and noble, with ornate carving, palace halls resplendent with gold and jade, extremely luxurious, perfectly matching the personality of that treacherous dragon.

Most importantly, upon entering, he encountered three black lines.

For on the walls of the bedroom, there were full displays of erotic paintings, featuring beautiful women in various charm statures depicted in nudity in murals, and many sculptures portraying the same, enough to make one blush intensely.

That despicable treacherous dragon, Ye Chen had no mind to look further, as the mansion also housed numerous beautiful women with scant attire, each highly charming, exceedingly rare beauties indeed.

Only Will would likely enjoy the company of that treacherous dragon.

However, Ye Chen did not leave immediately, as he felt that since the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor had disappeared, he might find some clues here.

Time Retrospect!

He directly deployed this divine skill. Now, compared to when he deployed it on the King's Ancient Road, his cultivation had grown much stronger, enough to easily deploy it even in the Emperor Realm.

Bang—

Countless scenes emerged, everything unfolding rapidly in reverse around Ye Chen.

Soon, the figure of the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor appeared before his eyes, but this time, its playful smile was gone, and it appeared unusually solemn, saying, "Kid, the people monitoring have appeared!"
