Eternal Holy Emperor

Ancient Hua Imperial City.

Night had fallen over this ancient capital, one of the ten great cities on the Ancient God Continent. Even at night, it remained brilliantly illuminated, as bright as day, with a steady flow of traffic and bustling crowds.

The Ancient Hua Palace, once heavily damaged by the siege of the Combat Saint King by the three Great Imperial Dynasties, had mostly been restored in these two years.

Palaces stood aplenty, pavilions towered, gradually reappearing in their former majestic grandeur.

The palace was teeming with experts, formidable warriors constantly guarding its safety.

But in the deepest part, the Central Treasure Pavilion was where the Heavenly King Ancestor of a great ancient empire secluded himself, and ordinarily, even the current Emperor would not dare to disturb the ancestor's retreat rashly.

For the past two years, what should have been a dark and silent, deep Treasure Pavilion, had been resplendent with lights, as the highest Ancient Hua Heavenly King of the empire remained in a state of awakening instead of the usual sleep and self-seal.

This was not favorable for the Ancient Hua Heavenly King, as a state of awakening signified life's gradual decline, only in sleep and self-sealing could the flow of life be paused.

All the strong in the Ancient Hua Dynasty knew that the Ancient Hua Heavenly King had been waiting for the Combat Saint King for two years, waiting for him to emerge from the Ancient Divine Palace.

It seemed there was some unknown promise between the two, and Ancient Hua Heavenly King had been patiently waiting.

But two years had passed, and since entering the Ancient Divine Palace, the Combat Saint King had become utterly silent, never appearing, causing the entire world to have a bad premonition, thinking it very likely that the Combat Saint King met with trouble within the Ancient Divine Palace.

Not only the Ancient Hua Heavenly King, but also the Heavenly King Ancestors of the other nine Great Ancient Emperor Dynasties, similarly remained in a state of awakening, waiting for the Combat Saint King, due to a mutual promise made with him in the past.

But two years had gone by, and even the Nine Heavenly King Ancestors appeared solemn. The Combat Saint King's delayed absence left them uneasy, as getting a disciple's identity from the Ancient Divine Palace shouldn't have taken this long.

Did something really happen to the Combat Saint King?

Yet thinking of the scene he once exhibited before them, they were somewhat firm in belief: even for the Ancient Divine Palace, touching a Combat Saint King like that would incur a huge price.

The Nine Great Ancient Emperor Dynasties were also shrouded in gloom, as in the past they almost publicly supported the Combat Saint King. If he were slain by the Ancient Divine Palace, it would negatively impact the Palace's control over the Ancient God Continent, but similarly, if the Ancient Divine Palace retaliated against the ancient empires in war, the consequences would be catastrophic.

In today's world, no one can rival the Ancient Divine Palace.

Many regretted supporting the Combat Saint King, opposing the Ancient Divine Palace back then.

But all these top decisions stemmed from their own Heavenly King Ancestors; it was at their behest they acted.

"Combat Saint King, two years have passed, have you truly been slain by the Ancient Divine Palace?" Deep within the Tianxu Dynasty, Heavenly King Tianxu looked toward the direction of Ancient God City, feeling a hint of worry.

"Should we proactively head to the Ancient Divine Palace to inquire personally?" Ancient Hua Heavenly King hesitated, though he was peerless, he had never dared to set foot on the Ancient Divine Palace arbitrarily.

Even if he rallied other Emperor Dynasty Heavenly King Ancestors, they were likely apprehensive, few would dare accompany him.

Moreover, the original promise was to wait for the Combat Saint King's personal summons to move, and now acting rashly might not be wise.

The Ancient Hua Heavenly King sighed deeply, turning to leave, but at this moment, his expression changed drastically.

With a flip of his hand, an ancient jade emerged and blossomed with magnificent light radiance, causing him to smile with surprise, unable to help saying, "As expected of the Combat Saint King, he truly is alright, are we finally being summoned?"

Boom—

At this moment, from the deepest part of the Ancient Hua Dynasty's palace, a powerful Heavenly King's might was released, overwhelming and vast, covering the grand ancient imperial capital.

In the ancient capital, tens of millions of living beings shivered, and even powerful figures like Saints trembled inwardly, feeling a sense of submission, startled, and gazed in awe towards the deepest part of the palace.

The Heavenly King was born!

"Ancestor!"

"Ancestor!"

"Ancestor!"

...

Within the palace, including the current Emperor, one venerable figure after another from the royal family prostrated in worship, reverently watching the revived Ancient Hua Heavenly King, who smiled gently, indescribably elated, "Stay within the palace; I have matters to attend to outside."

Suddenly—

The Ancient Hua Heavenly King raised his hand and easily tore open the void, stepping into it, disappearing from the Ancient Hua Imperial City.

Not only him alone, but even the Heavenly King Ancestors of the Ancient Hua Dynasty, Liuxia Dynasty, Changhua Dynasty, and the other eight Great Ancient Emperor Dynasties set out almost simultaneously.

Boom—

The Heavenly King Ancestors of the nine Great Ancient Emperor Dynasties, setting out from their respective palaces, unleashed supreme ancient powers, causing waves of shock through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

At almost the same moment, they departed from their respective dynasties, crossing unimaginable distances with a single step.

In just moments, the Heavenly King Ancestors of the nine Great Dynasties converged upon the Ancient God City, releasing an awe-inspiring Heavenly King's might, compelling all spirits into submission.

The world was shocked, causing an uproar among the people, unclear of the reason.

All throughout the city, people raised their heads in horror, looking towards the nine towering Heavenly King figures in the Heavenly Dome, each incredibly powerful, commanding even Saint Lords to look up with awe.

"Let's go!"

The next moment, the nine Heavenly Kings charged towards the Ancient Divine Palace.

Hearing the terrifying news, the world sharply sensed that an earth-shattering event was about to unfold, related to the Ancient Divine Palace.

The Nine Heavenly Kings arrived at the Ancient Divine Palace, where the teleportation ancient gate had somehow already been opened, not by the hands of the Nine Heavenly Kings, but autonomously; they stepped forward, entering the ancient gate!

Boom—

At the same time, within the Ancient Divine Palace, Ye Chen stood alone in the void, the Space Gate open behind him, from which nine astonishing Heavenly King auras slowly spread, truly shaking heaven and earth, causing tremors across the realm of the Ancient Divine Palace.

The world was shocked!

Within the Ancient Divine Palace, everyone watched in utter shock at the nine Heavenly Kings arriving behind the Combat Saint King.

One after another, the auras they exuded were true Heavenly King Realm auras, seemingly terrifying, gathering together to seemingly obliterate and instantaneously suppress the seven Great Heavenly Kings Xuan Elders of the Ancient Divine Palace.

This is what it means to be invincible, to be powerful.

"Hmph, is it more against less?" Ye Chen smirked coldly, "If so, then don't blame me for using the same method in return!"
