Eternal Holy Emperor

Ancient Immortal Palace?

Ye Chen looked at the three grand characters written in purple and gold on the massive plaque, momentarily entranced.

Why is it the Ancient Immortal Palace, and not the Ancient Divine Palace?

Even the expressions of other True Kings appeared somewhat strange.

The Ancient Immortal Palace stood before them, its magnificent and immortal aura emanating pressure from the palace itself.

However, the grand doors of the Ancient Immortal Palace were shut tight, and Li Xuan let out an exclamation of surprise, clearly unaware of the situation. He then addressed the two Saint-level guards at the doors, saying, "Why are the doors closed? Quickly open the doors; the victors of this contest and several important guests are here, needing to meet the Palace Master and the Supreme Elders. It concerns the identity of the successor to our Ancient Divine Palace and must not be neglected."

Upon hearing this, the Saint guards who usually showed no expression even to the Saints themselves hastily clasped their hands in apology to Li Xuan, asking him to wait a moment. One of them pushed open a slit and entered, clearly to report the situation.

Ye Chen and Yuan Yang God King, along with the Sun God and others, were not in a hurry, waiting patiently. Indeed, the Ancient Divine Palace had more rules, but that was to be expected.

During this period, Ye Chen and other Immortal True Kings observed their surroundings, looking upon the vastness of the Ancient Divine Palace.

It could be seen that the Ancient Divine Palace was situated in a special realm, similar to the Supreme Sacred Land of the Taichu Sacred Land, another realm created by a Supreme Power, but even more peculiar, with abundant nature's spiritual energy constantly overflowing from the boundaries of the world, nurturing this land.

It could also be seen that this realm contained not only layers of palaces and pavilions but also many Immortal Mountains standing tall, the Three Thousand Divine Islands floating, spiritual medicines shining, with many spiritual beasts and auspicious beasts frolicking, all appearing dreamlike and beyond imagination, more fantastical than those Supreme Sacred Lands.

Moreover, the Ancient God Mountain stood in the starry sky, surrounded by Heavenly Stars, a scene impossible to appear normally, as such stars can only exist in a King Great World, not in a realm created by a Great Power.

More importantly, in this realm, whether it was Ye Chen or other Immortal True Kings, they could feel a unique and distinct Qi Mechanism.

The closer they got to the heights, the clearer it became, especially on the Ancient God Mountain where this Qi Mechanism became particularly clear, cleansing the mind and reducing the birth of inner demons, simply marvelous beyond words.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here was not only abundant but also so pure it was close to the divine spiritual origin, allowing a more distinct sense of the Heaven and Earth Dao.

Such a special land, it captures the wonders of Heaven and Earth. Though slightly lacking compared to the Taichu Pure Land, it was vastly more expansive, capable of nurturing countless beings.

He increasingly doubted the origin of this special realm, which was surely extraordinary.

The Ancient Divine Palace's ability to rule the Ancient God Continent for countless years must have an indispensable factor here.

In secret, Ye Chen began measuring the Ancient God Mountain, surveying the realm by opening the Heavenly Eye, sweeping across the four directions, observing the stars, and silently shooting out invisible finger glows into the void, deducing in his heart the true nature of this realm.

Ultimately, he only deduced a layer of mist, unable to see anything.

This result was not unexpected; such a special realm with an extraordinary origin cannot be penetrated by simple deduction; a startling Qi Mechanism was obstructing his deduction.

Ye Chen's brow shone, the power of faith surged, pouring and merging with his Primordial Spirit, increasing his perception manifold, and then he deduced again.

The mist quickly dissipated considerable portions, and presently, he saw a shadowy behemoth emerging from behind the mist, and the special Immortal Mechanism of the realm became much clearer.

Just as Ye Chen was about to see it clearly, suddenly, the heavenly dome of the Ancient Divine Palace exploded.

Boom—

A terrifying Heavenly Thunder descended, as thick as a mountain, striking down with unimaginable dread.

This was the inexplicable taboo touched by Ye Chen's deduction. The realm of the Ancient Divine Palace was far too extraordinary, shrouded by mist, impossible to see through, and at the last moment, an inexplicable force of rules counterattacked.

Moreover, it was not an ordinary Heavenly Thunder; it carried a trace of the Forbidden Immortal Thunder Qi Mechanism from when Ye Chen created the Chaos Dao.

That Qi Mechanism was all too clear to Ye Chen. In the past, without the Heavenly Gate Master and the mysterious person bathed in Chaos Qi steering the River of Time to intercept it, he would have surely perished.

This Heavenly Thunder carried such Qi Mechanism, even a trace of it made Ye Chen's expression change drastically, as it could reduce even a Saint to ashes and even posed a threat to him now at the Reincarnation Level; it was truly a thunder of annihilation.

Swish—

Ye Chen did not intend to defend against it, instantly laterally moving, deploying the Supreme Profound Skill of Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth, changing his original aura in an instant, severing the Qi Mechanism tracking of the Heavenly Thunder to avoid being attacked.

Other Immortal True Kings sensed it too, shocked as they quickly moved away, leaving the range of the Heavenly Thunder's attack.

But the Heavenly Thunder was too massive, as thick as a mountain, striking straight down toward the Ancient Immortal Palace, causing Li Xuan and another Saint-level guard's expressions to drastically change.

They all sensed the terrifying nature of the Heavenly Thunder, not knowing its origin, but couldn't imagine the consequences if it landed in the Ancient Immortal Palace.

At this moment, a vast hand emerged from the Ancient Immortal Palace, grand and magnificent, voluntarily meeting the Heavenly Thunder, instantly showcasing unprecedented power.

Boom—

The gigantic hand clashed hard with the Heavenly Thunder, mutually exploding with brilliant radiance, spreading instantaneously in all directions, alarming the entire Ancient Divine Palace.

Within the Ancient Divine Palace, numerous powerful auras sprung forth, rapidly scanning the area, no less than fifteen Saint-level presences, and over three Heavenly King Realm auras flashed across, invisibly showcasing the deep foundation of the Ancient Divine Palace.

Everyone focused their attention here, shocked by what had happened.

In the end, everything dissipated, the massive Heavenly Thunder vanished, and the vast hand disappeared without a trace.

As if none of this had ever happened, everything was as it always was.

While everyone wondered about what had just transpired, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged, yet a grand wave surged in his heart.

Because just in that brief upward glance, the Heavenly Thunder cleaved through the misty dome, revealing a clear corner.

There lay an astonishing and eerie scene, still turning endlessly in his mind.

He saw a black hole, and what's more, a bronze ancient coffin, bizarre and inexplicable!
