Eternal Holy Emperor

"The Ancient Demon Gods were one of the supreme overlords during the Era of Gods on the Ancient Emperor Continent," the Peacock King mentioned.

Ye Chen was moved. The Era of Gods on the Ancient Emperor Continent was an extremely glorious age, unlike today where even the Heavenly Kings had to enter the mysterious Divine Realm, but could exist on the Ancient Emperor Continent, not just a handful of people.

Known as the gods, although in that era even Saints were to some extent called deities, there were many so-called godly beings at the Heavenly King level, more than on the Ancient God Continent. It was the most glorious of times.

To be an overlord in that era, the strength of the Ancient Demon Gods was evident.

It's very likely they were also ancient great powers.

The Peacock King secretly communicated, proactively sharing with Ye Chen some extremely important secrets of the Demon Race, secrets that shouldn't be spoken of, not even at the risk of death if revealed to a Saint.

Rumor has it, after the most terrifying battle in the Era of Gods, the gods fell, the continent shattered, and the Human Clan Territory was reduced by more than half.

But not all divines fell; some went into the mysterious Divine Realm, where it seems there exists a special Longevity Technique, granting eternal undying existence.

Others, like one of the overlords of the Era of Gods, the Ancient Demon God, appeared to have fallen after that war but, according to some secrets, did not completely die. Instead, they left a trace of their undying true spirit, preserved.

And they secretly established a supreme great sect, like this Demon God Temple, collecting immense faith power from the demon domain to resurrect themselves, with the potential to revive in the future.

Such a secret is shocking, almost the highest secret within the Demon Race, because that Ancient Demon God holds an inviolable supreme position in the Demon Race's hearts.

The Peacock King only opened up to Ye Chen. Naturally, with his status, few in the Demon Race could reprimand him, unless godly beings from the Nine Heavens Divine Realm came down to reproach him.

Ye Chen's eyes flickered with uncertainty. He, too, mastered a vast amount of faith power, having researched and deeply understood the infinite wonders of faith power, yet the thought of resurrecting oneself with faith power seemed a bit too incredible.

Even Ye Chen found it hard to believe.

But he did not refute it, for faith power is too mysterious, originating from the hearts of people, a special force that can assist in increasing perceptive abilities, empower oneself with limitless strength, aid in cultivation, and even become part of one's strength, to fully integrate and become invincible.

Naturally, there are other wonders, making it difficult to fully understand all uses of faith power.

It is said that during the Mythical Era, even emperors and royals collected faith power for research, but the results are difficult to know, known only perhaps to the emperor and the royal family.

Now, could it be that one of the overlords of the Era of Gods, the Ancient Demon God, wishes to collect faith power to resurrect themselves?

It wasn't impossible; anything could happen.

However, Ye Chen immediately shook his head with a smile. Whether the Ancient Demon God still lingers in the world and seeks to resurrect, what does it matter to him, as he will eventually leave the Ancient Emperor Continent, not being of the Ancient Emperor Realm.

Even if the Ancient Demon God revives, it doesn't mean they would be foes, nor does he necessarily fear them.

Yet, for some reason, there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, related to the Ancient Demon God.

The three entered one of the Treasure Pavilions within the Demon God Temple, where Xia Miao'er was arranged in the cultivation site of the Peacock King, a place not only rich in Spiritual Energy but also containing numerous texts for her to read and cultivate at will.

The following matters pertained to Ye Chen and the Peacock King, not convenient for her involvement.

The Treasure Pavilion was splendid with gold and jade, and a seductive fox woman approached, graceful and alluring, yet appeared very respectful in front of the Peacock King, offering the rarest Dao Tea, with ripples of Dao spreading, Dao Rhythm circulating.

Ye Chen took a sip of the tea, smiling slightly, "It seems you've been doing well these years."

The Peacock King chuckled, "Not too bad. Ever since entering the Ancient Emperor Realm, I've received the highest treatment, standing above. Now, after all, I am one of the strongest among the Demon Race."

No need for Ye Chen to ask how he reached the Ancient Emperor Realm, the Peacock King proactively began, mentioning it was due to a failed reincarnation, where at the moment a wisp of his Primordial Spirit returned to the main body, the Void Law he controlled within him erupted, sweeping him into a mysterious wormhole, unknowingly bringing him to the Ancient Emperor Continent.

Since he was of the Demon Race, and in the following days merging various insights from reincarnation, he reached the Reincarnation-level, quickly becoming one of the strongest in the Demon Race, even once slashing several Beast Clan Saints, gaining fame worldwide.

After dismissing the fox woman servant with a wave, the Peacock King suddenly trembled all over, the light of Primordial Spirit at his brow dimmed significantly, even a blood crack appeared, shockingly notable.

Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, "What happened?"

The Peacock King waved his hand, appearing slightly pale as he said, "No need to worry, it's just a recurrence of Dao injury, not threatening to life."

But Ye Chen could clearly sense that the Peacock King's Dao injury wasn't as trivial as he claimed, seemingly severe. He said solemnly, "Peacock King, do you really still intend to hide it at this point?"

The Peacock King sighed faintly, "Since it has come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you. Unless I can surpass reincarnation within a hundred years, it will only lead to death and Dao dispersal."

Ye Chen suddenly stood up, his expression greatly changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is going on?"

The Peacock King said, "In truth, after the initial reincarnation failure, only a wisp of my Primordial Spirit escaped back, though not dead, it was not far off. Because the one who attacked me was not only strong but a terrifying entity who cultivated the Death Dao. I was forced to abandon much of my Primordial Spirit in my Reincarnation Body to flee, and the remaining wisp was still tainted with the Death Law Power of the attacker, irremovable, continuously disintegrating my Primordial Spirit at all times."

"This Death Law Power isn't vast, but with my Primordial Spirit incomplete, and as I recovered the Primordial Spirit, the Death Law grew stronger, corroding the Primordial Spirit, difficult to dissolve."

"In normal times, I use my own strength to suppress the Death Law on my Primordial Spirit, and here in the Demon God Temple, I can also use the Demon God Qi Mechanism to suppress the Death Rule."

"However, under such circumstances, it's absolutely impossible to go to battle easily, for it would hasten the erosion of the Death Law and the disintegration of the Primordial Spirit. At the Peak of Fallen battle, I was forced to act, accelerating the Primordial Spirit's disintegration speed, the Death Rule continuously disintegrating my Primordial Spirit. Now, even with my utmost suppression, there's little effect. At most, I have less than a century before death and Dao dispersal, unless I stay within the range of the Demon God Temple."
