Eternal Holy Emperor

After finishing everything, a black pearl stone that was taken from the remains of the Black Prison Heavenly King appeared in Ye Chen's hand.

Ye Chen placed it on his Primordial Spirit, constantly feeling its strength grow stronger, though the pace was slow, it continuously strengthened, leaving him in awe of the wonders of the world.

Then he took out the Mythical Crown forged from nine kinds of Chaos Immortal Gold. It shimmered brilliantly, radiating a nine-colored divine light, incredibly magnificent.

But he could never unravel its mysteries; he had even consulted the powerful figures of the Ancient Divine Palace, but unfortunately, even the Ancient God Palace Master was unaware, claiming its true origin lay with a Great Power Level Palace Master from the Ancient Era, brought back from the mysterious Ancient Emperor Continent.

That's all there was to know, and as for the actual origin, that Great Power Level Palace Master never uttered a word and clearly had reservations.

The Great Power Level Ancient Ship sailed as swiftly as ever, riding the wind and waves, continuously forging ahead, cutting through layers of towering waves on both sides.

Along the way, they occasionally witnessed several terrifying creatures from the Chaos Sea, even gigantic sea beasts capable of devouring heaven and earth, but all wisely avoided the Great Power Level Ancient Ship from afar.

Although the Great Power Level Ancient Ship remained steady at all times, Ye Chen stood at the bow, never letting his guard down.

Because he deeply understood the terrifying nature of the Chaos Sea, having once encountered a figure resembling Elder Yan, and had also come across a terrifying ship—

The Slaughter Immortal Ship!

That was a truly terrifying ancient ship, far surpassing even the current Great Power Level Ancient Ship.

His greatest fear was encountering that Slaughter Immortal Ship, as it would mean no return for everyone aboard this ship.

However, the journey went smoothly, without such encounters, which gave Ye Chen some relief.

Five days after the Great Power Level Ancient Ship crossed, fully penetrating four hundred thousand miles into the Chaos Sea, the journey was peaceful, and by maintaining this pace, Ye Chen estimated it would take another three days to completely cross the Chaos Sea and reach the other side at the Ancient Emperor Continent.

A day later, a change occurred.

The Chaos Sea was perpetually shrouded in chaotic storms, with night indistinguishable from day, yet before them, swathes of chaotic disasters rapidly dissipated, allowing striking sunlight to pour through.

On the ancient ship, everyone gazed over.

Ye Chen also looked over, first stunned, then smiling.

Because he saw a familiar figure, appearing heroic, towering, black hair hanging down, clad in azure combat armor, wielding a three-zhang war spear, riding a pureblooded Purple Qilin Holy Beast King, seeming so familiar, unmistakably the same Saintly Treasure Peak Knight who had obstructed him in the past, reappearing.

He directly blocked the front of the Great Power Level Ancient Ship, exuding a formidable Dao Qi Mechanism, instantly forcing the surrounding chaotic storms to retreat, creating a calm domain, as he pointed the war spear and sternly shouted, "Outsiders, you've been warned repeatedly, the Ancient Emperor Continent is not to be trespassed upon, or you will face severe punishment. Don't you understand?"

Regarding the provenance of this Holy Knight before them, both the Ancient Divine Palace and the Nine Great Empires were not unfamiliar, as recorded in ancient texts, dispatched from the Ancient Emperor Continent to guard the Chaos Sea, preventing the creatures of the Ancient God Continent from crossing to the Ancient Emperor Continent.

Though somewhat shocked by the sudden appearance of a Saintly Treasure Peak-level Holy Knight, the heroes on the ancient ship were only thus, as just one person could hardly halt their progress, with some even chuckling, "Knight, you should step aside; you are not our match."

"Courting death!"

The Holy Knight, far distant, at least a thousand miles away, with chaotic storms separating divine sense, and the Great Power Level Ancient Ship primarily resisting the chaotic storms, only occasionally releasing an ancient power aura to intimidate other terrifying creatures in the Chaos Sea, so even the Holy Knight was oblivious to the terror of this ancient ship and couldn't sense the strength of the powerful figures aboard.

Bang—

The Absolute Peak Holy Knight, riding the Qilin Holy Beast King, threw the three-zhang war spear in his hand, instantly transforming into the most terrifying black light flashing across heaven and earth, dispersing all chaotic storms in its path, leaving a trail of black light thunder, extremely terrifying.

Clang—

Yet in the next moment, the Holy Knight widened his eyes, for he discovered his projected knight spear was intercepted by a layer of hazy light curtain when it reached the front of the ancient ship, finding his supreme attack, capable of incinerating heaven and sea and slaughtering Saint Master-level beings, unable to breach the defense, leaving him baffled.

Unconvinced, the Holy Knight recalled the knight spear, and this time, controlled the Purple-Scaled Qilin Beast, becoming a blazing purple light charging forth, tearing through the sky, with purple light surging, and with a boom, traversing a distance of thousands of miles in the sky, wielding the pitch-black war spear, rushed to strike.

But before he truly attacked, a figure suddenly appeared before him, causing him to be slightly taken aback when he saw clearly, "It's you!"

"It's me," Ye Chen said with a smile.

The Holy Knight halted, speaking in a low voice, "Halt the divine ship immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind, for striking you."

Ye Chen smiled, and so did the others on the bow.

Though it was clear this Holy Knight was a terrifying being of the Saintly Treasure Ninth Layer Heaven, powerful, with exuberant blood qi, leading to amazement.

But who were the people on this ancient ship, at least Saint Realm Heroic Masters, with more than one Heavenly King level existence, how could they be intimidated.

They genuinely laughed looking at this Holy Knight.

Swish—

Ye Chen said, "I have no intent to trouble you; move aside."

"Arrogant!"

The Holy Knight snorted coldly, then attacked again, uniting with the mount, the Purple Qilin, merging into a purple divine light, man and beast as one, with surging blood qi sweeping toward Ye Chen, exhibiting unparalleled killing intent.

A sea area of tens of miles exploded even in the suppressive Chaos Sea, he could still wield astonishing combat power.

"A very powerful strike, but unfortunately, it's just that."

Ye Chen's long black hair danced wildly in the spear wind, but his body remained immovable, his palm waving out, immortal golden radiance flowing between his fingers, meeting the strike head-on.

Bang—

Divine light splashed, torrents shot wildly, and the vast water surface completely erupted, sending thousands and thousands of massive waves soaring sky-high, truly with the might to incinerate heaven and boil the sea.

However, Ye Chen remained immovable like a mountain, the approaching Holy Knight was repelled swiftly, along with the Purple Qilin, rapidly flying backward across the ocean, raising swaths of massive waves, drawing much attention.

A decisive clash, the victor was instantly clear!

The Holy Knight, who once obliterated Ye Chen's Dao Body, was now rendered powerless!
