Eternal Holy Emperor

The watchers.

Once again, the watchers!

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor has mentioned this term more than once, from the memory jade left in the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain, to the current context of Time Retrospect.

What kind of people does this "watcher" refer to?

But the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor didn't elaborate much and hastily said, "Kid, I'm being watched right now. If I don't leave, it will be dangerous. I must leave first. Be careful of these watchers; they are powerful and mysterious.

As the words fell, the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor seemed to have noticed something, glanced into the distance, and suddenly, his entire body transformed, reverting completely into his supreme dragon body with radiant purple scales. He tore through the void and rushed into it, escaping far away.

Not long after, several black shadows suddenly appeared at the location where the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor had been and then found the void he had torn open, also darting in like lightning.

But just before disappearing, one of the black shadows glanced at Ye Chen, having sensed long ago that Ye Chen, this future visitor, had been observing himself through Time Retrospect, and coldly snorted, "If unrelated people intervene, there will be no mercy!"

The words were filled with killing intent!

Ye Chen's expression did not change. He even unfolded the Heavenly Eye to penetrate the true nature of the opponent, but the result was unclear.

Not only was there significant obstruction in peeping through time and space, but the other side clearly possessed a secret treasure that shielded them from spying, making it difficult to see the truth.

Ye Chen wisely gave up, falling into contemplation, not leaving immediately, because the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor's gaze flickered just before he left, seeming to indicate something.

He remained in the dormitory, this time conducting a serious investigation and using the Heavenly Eye to scan the entire dormitory. He had a suspicion that the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor had left something in this spacious dormitory before leaving.

The Heavenly Eye could penetrate all illusions and investigate all hidden secrets in the void.

After the first scan, he did not notice anything, not even with the Heavenly Eye.

He also sensed a chaotic fluctuation affecting the area, obviously left by the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor. It was very faint, only perceivable by those at or above the Saint Master Level, but sufficiently affecting the investigation.

The more it was like this, the more certain Ye Chen was that the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor had left something here.

After three times of investigation, Ye Chen had to give up.

This time, he abandoned the Heavenly Eye, and from the top of his skull, a golden radiant true dragon surged up, about half a zhang long.

Then, from the top of his skull, one after another golden true dragons continuously surged up, up to 108 in total, flying towards every corner of the vast dormitory.

This is the true dragon's inner sight, a kind of investigative divine skill, naturally opened after stepping into the Saintly Treasure stage.

Of course, this kind of divine skill can truly only be opened by those of the Dragon Clan with high levels of dragon blood.

But because of the Dragon Origin, Ye Chen opened it up.

The true dragon's inner sight is similar to the Heavenly Eye; both can penetrate illusions. Ye Chen guessed that since the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor is from the Dragon Clan, perhaps what he left could only be discovered with the divine skills of the Dragon Clan.

Sure enough, among the wandering of 108 true dragons, a subtle fluctuation was discovered in the corner of the dormitory, also a dragon clan fluctuation.

Ye Chen trembled with the power of the Dragon Origin within and probed into it, revealing a small dragon, chubby and quite pink and cute, but in the next moment, it transformed into a palm-sized miniature treasure box, covered with the patterns of the Dragon Clan.

A treasure box with dragon clan runes, incomprehensible without knowing the dragon runes, cannot be opened. If opened forcibly, the contents will be destroyed immediately.

Even if the contents are hard to decay, a spatial teleportation channel will be opened, sending it unidirectionally to the dragon treasure direction.

Ye Chen's expression became solemn; for even that wicked dragon to value it so much, the items in the treasure box were surely not mundane.

A wisp of Dragon Origin Power appeared on his finger, quickly breaking the runes on the treasure box. Just as he was about to break it open, Ye Chen suddenly turned his head towards a nihility area in the dormitory, his twin eyes shining divine light, shooting out two substantial Heavenly Swords.

"Who is it?"

He shouted, and it was like a thunderous explosion, almost blasting the entire dormitory open.

Swoosh—

A blurred black shadow appeared in the nihility, darting towards Ye Chen, and from within the black mist, a large hand reached out for the treasure box in his hand.

"Scram!"

Ye Chen coldly shouted, without a second thought, and directly swung the Shaking Heaven Hand.

"Shaking Heaven Hand, a divine skill from the Combat Saint lineage."

An exclamation came from within the black shadow, retreating like lightning.

But no matter how fast, it could not possibly be faster than Ye Chen. He merely took a step, as if time reversed, appearing in front of the black shadow in an instant, directly slapping down the Shaking Heaven Hand.

"Hmm!?" Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, as he felt his Shaking Heaven Hand slap down, failing to achieve the anticipated destructive impact. Instead, he could sense the opponent's body was truly like nihility, as if his attack landed on cotton, absorbing much of the force.

A very sinister feeling!

But how terrifying is the Shaking Heaven Hand, especially when wielded by someone like Ye Chen, who can casually crush Saint Masters? It holds endless world-destroying power. Even if much of the force was neutralized, the remaining power was enough to send the black shadow flying, dispersing the black mist into a fog.

A muffled groan was heard, clearly indicating the opponent was suffering.

Yet by this, the opponent darted skyward to escape, not continuing the struggle, wanting to flee, because he realized Ye Chen's strength exceeded his imagination.

And this mysterious person's power also exceeded Ye Chen's expectations, surprisingly a Saint Master Level character.

This shocked Ye Chen; when did Saint Master Level characters become so common? Several appearing just to spy on a Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor seemed outrageous.

Clearly, the power of these "watchers" is far beyond imagination.

But how could he allow the opponent to just soar away freely? Immediately, he snorted coldly, transforming into the Aurora and rushing up, reaching the front in an instant, intending to bind the opponent.

Suddenly, a circle of black hole appeared like lightning, and the black shadow vanished into it, and the black hole disappeared like lightning.

Ye Chen naturally felt apprehensive, not rushing into it. Still, he wouldn't let the opponent slip away from him, striking another Shaking Heaven Hand into it.

Poof—

As the black hole vanished, a muffled groan came from within, and a mist of blood exploded, splattering across the void.
