Eternal Holy Emperor

Chapter 1090 - 996: Crownless Emperor

"Little brother, come with us."

The Goddess extended her snow-white hand, gently pulling Ye Chen’s hand, leading him away.

On the other side, Chen’er also cheerfully grabbed the other hand, while Yii Wu followed quietly with a gentle smile, together heading to a certain area.

Not too far, soon, the group reached their destination, surprisingly, the last of the 81 passes.

There, several pieces of a broken Ancient Continent floated, now more shattered than ever, once a secret realm opened by a supreme overlord of the Era of Gods, once glorious and mighty, now only blood and bones remain, along with the fragmented secret realm, vaguely recording the fierce battles that once took place there.

"Why bring me here?" Ye Chen asked.

The Goddess said, "Try to sense it yourself."

"Hmm?" Ye Chen expressed his surprise, sensing the unusual nature of the 81st pass secret realm, something peculiar, grabbing his attention.

He opened the Heavenly Eye for the first time, seriously scanning this broken secret realm, capturing some Dao Traces from the shattered pieces of the Ancient Continent, comprehending them, finally uncovering some incredible truths.

"What a secret realm this is, though damaged and broken, it has such a function," Ye Chen remarked.

The Three Immortals nodded toward him, saying, "Related to the chess game!"

"This is a secret realm we discovered by chance, likely an important piece in the Heavenly Earth Chess Game."

The Goddess said with a solemn yet stunning face.

The Three Immortals naturally also discovered the anomaly on the Ancient Emperor Continent and, similarly to Ye Chen’s guess, recognized that the water on the Ancient Emperor Continent is far more profound than imagined, a vast chess game laid down secretly since the Ancient Times.

Ye Chen also nodded, acknowledging the great use of this broken secret realm, far from as simple as it appeared, containing some astounding secrets.

He silently deduced for half a day, his spirit platform glowing, piercing through many fogs, seeing a corner, understanding many unknown secrets.

Although Ye Chen could deduce further to uncover more truths, he maintained a limit, fearing to disturb the person behind it, possibly the controller of the Heavenly Earth Chess Game.

During this, the Goddess mentioned her plan regarding this broken secret realm and informed Ye Chen.

Upon learning the plan, Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Let me complete it."

In the end, Ye Chen used astonishing methods to reconnect the broken Ancient Continent, restoring the original map.

He also embedded numerous Spirit Stones into the Ancient Continent, along with a dozen drops of Golden Holy Blood, all done inconspicuously, even using stealthy means to cover all Qi Mechanisms, and left the 81st pass with the Three Immortals.

This battle had great gains; not only were enemies completely eliminated, but also the Nine Great Empire Kings were rescued by him, willingly following him now due to the unparalleled power Ye Chen displayed.

Other powerhouses on the Ancient God Continent also followed Ye Chen, becoming a formidable force that could even influence the three major clans on the Ancient Emperor Continent.

He also retrieved the broken Great Power Level Divine Ship, repairing it with his profound knowledge of arrays, completing the repair in not much time at all.

Of course, it could not compare to the previous Great Power Level Divine Ship since that had Divine Traces and now did not, yet it wasn’t far inferior.

Roar—

A flash of purple light appeared, it was the Purple Qilin, spanning the stars, coming to Ye Chen’s side, nuzzling him affectionately.

Then, before Ye Chen could act, it roared sorrowfully, unable to suppress anymore, transforming entirely into a cloud of purple light.

Amidst it, a lump of blood as red as a diamond appeared before Ye Chen, containing strong Dao Fragments, with some even incredibly mysterious, undulating waves of vast blood Qi like a sea.

This was Shen Rong’s Emperor Bloodline, once refined by Ye Chen into the Purple Qilin, but the Qilin, at the cost of early demise, counter-refined it, ultimately just a residual god in the starry sky, endured for a long time but finally couldn’t hold on and disappeared.

Ye Chen silently put away this lump of Emperor Blood and then carried the cloud of purple light to the depths of space, personally buried it among the stars, alongside some meteors, stood silently for a while before turning away.

Afterward, Ye Chen inquired the Nine Heavens Empire Kings about the whereabouts of the Sun God, Ancient Demon God, Yuan Yang God King, and some other Immortal True Kings, since he didn’t see them during his Crossing Tribulation.

Finally being told, just after Ye Chen was hunted by the Four Great Heavenly Kings Xuan Elder, all True King talents left one by one, and the Three Heavenly Kings Xuan Elder of the Ancient Divine Palace did not stop them, their whereabouts are now unknown.

Ye Chen nodded, not questioning further, believing that when it all comes to a head, everyone will appear.

"Let’s go."

Ye Chen spoke, taking the Three Immortals, Peacock King, Xia Miao’er, Nine Great Empire Kings, and others back to the Central Imperial City from the stars.

He completely shook the Imperial City, and furthermore, shook the entire Ancient Emperor Continent, an invincible radiance illuminating Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, influencing the vast Ancient Emperor Continent, making the three major clans bow and submit.

It also made many forces and powerhouses apprehensive because now with Ye Chen possessing truly invincible might, not to mention Reincarnation Level Supreme Powerhouses, even Heavenly Kings were not sudden opponents, with followers like the Nine Great Empire Kings, enough to sweep across the entire Ancient God Continent.

If Ye Chen desired, he could absolutely dominate the entire Ancient God Continent, becoming an invincible emperor there, the three clans would all have to bow.

In truth now too, he’s equivalent to a Crownless Emperor!

From the heart, many forces were unwilling because they did not want to submit under others’ feet, nor become controlled puppets.

Thankfully, Ye Chen had no such intentions, he merely stayed in the Imperial City, residing in the Central Heavenly Palace without any movement, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, half a month later, Ye Chen issued a vast voice in the Imperial City, requesting the help of all major forces to search for some people.

Especially the 36 empires and 72 ancient countries in the Human Clan Territory, as well as powerful forces like the Demon God Temple of the Demon Race and the King City of the Beast Clan, to help search for Ruoxi, Yaya, Yiyi, the Golden Little Divine Dragon, Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor, Will, and other Immortal True Kings’ whereabouts.

His tone was polite, not using force, and faintly carrying the title of the strongest on the Ancient God Continent, with undefeated achievements previously sweeping everything, naturally, no major force in the world dared refuse, all mobilized worldly power to search.

While all this was happening, three days later, Ye Chen’s true body sat in the Imperial City, while a clone walked out from the city, manifested in the world, drawing everyone’s attention with every movement, bringing Xia Miao’er to Lann Country.
