Eternal Holy Emperor

Chapter 1093 - 999: Never Attained Nirvana

Ye Chen sensed a special Qi mechanism and made an astonishing judgment. To verify this, he decided to take action.

Boom—

He activated the Dao Secret Skill, and Order Divine Chains emerged from his body, clinking and intertwining throughout the entire area of the Demon God’s demise, accompanied by Dao Runes and Dao Traces interweaving, resounding with the mighty sound of the Dao.

Time Retrospect!

The area covered was vast, far surpassing the scope when it was performed in Luofeng City on the King’s Ancient Road years ago, enveloping the entire site of the sitting practice.

"So strong!"

The powerful beings from the Demon God Temple who followed were also astonished by Ye Chen’s supreme cultivation.

This was merely a notable incarnation manifesting in the world; his strength was unknown to what extent of his true body, but it was clearly far less than the true body, yet it still covered such a broad range. If it were the true body here, it would undoubtedly be many times more terrifying.

Naturally, they dared not disturb Ye Chen’s operation of the secret technique, also wanting to see who, if not Ye Chen, had stolen it.

Under the cover of the secret technique, light and shadows began to reverse and retrace in the sitting practice area.

Ye Chen’s gaze was piercing and striking, as the Heavenly Eye opened, penetrating all illusions.

Buzz—

Ultimately, Time Retrospect could not continue, due to severe obstruction, as a terrifying Qi mechanism suddenly emerged, causing the entire sitting practice area to tremble, as if about to fracture at any moment.

It blocked Ye Chen’s Time Retrospect, preventing further probing.

All elders in the Demon God Temple changed colors, wondering what had occurred.

"Want to stop my pursuit?"

Ye Chen saw some remnants left in the void, deeply impressed. His eyes shot out strands of luminous gleam, as he continued forcefully reversing time.

Boom—

The remnants in the void shone with the most intense brilliance, weaving a colossal shadow high above, exuding the most terrifying pressure, threatening to shatter the Demon God sitting practice ground into pieces, as everything seemed to collapse.

"Ancient Demon God!"

"The Supreme Ancestor of Viper!"

The elders of the Demon God Temple became agitated, realizing it was the supreme overlord of the Demon Race’s era of gods, the Ancient Demon God, manifesting at this moment.

But Ye Chen snorted coldly, "Can a mere shadow manifestation stop me from reversing time?"

His whole body shook, shattering the heavens and earth, absorbing endless divine power from the void, and unleashed his strongest punch—

Heaven and Earth Creation!

Rumble—

The sky shattered and the ground split; the Demon God sitting practice area was about to disintegrate. Everyone changed color, thinking was he going all out without regard for anything? They might all be buried in the endless void.

But the Demon God’s sitting practice area only trembled three times, as Ye Chen’s punch, with its extreme power, targeted only the direction of the Ancient Demon God’s shadow, blowing it up into a pitch-black void of nothingness.

The other areas were not affected.

"No!"

"You cannot do this!"

The elders of the Demon God Temple hurried to stop him, despite knowing it was just a shadow of the Ancient Demon God left in the void, but to them, it was a divine that couldn’t be desecrated. How could they allow Ye Chen to act against it?

Yet they couldn’t get close to Ye Chen, only watching in horror as he obliterated the shadow of the Ancient Demon God, dissipating in the sitting practice ground, filled with anger, some even scolding him for his barbaric actions.

Barbaric actions?

Ye Chen did not disagree, but the chess game set up in this realm was too terrifying, forcing him to act this way, needing to understand as much as possible to respond in the future.

He tossed them a bottle of blood, saying, "This is the Heavenly King’s Dao Blood, consider it compensation."

Obtained from slaying the last three Heavenly King Xuan Elder of the Ancient Divine Palace in the starry sky, he had put it away.

The elders of the Demon God Temple, despite their anger, accepted it, knowing full well that the Demon God had long since achieved nirvana, and Ye Chen was an incontrovertible enemy, unable to speak out even if ignored.

If they truly angered Ye Chen, who knew whether this unrivaled Ancient Emperor Continent’s strongest might not sweep the whole Demon Race; that would be the most dreadful outcome.

Ye Chen continued reversing time, and when reached a certain degree, another terrifying Qi mechanism of the Ancient Demon God emerged.

He didn’t continue destroying it, as he already saw everything he wished to see.

The earlier speculation was confirmed true; the Ancestor of Viper, the Ancient Demon God, indeed never perished, having achieved rebirth, and manifested in this era.

The Demon God relics were also retrieved by it, appearing at the very moment he left back then.

However, all this was unseen by the Demon God Temple’s elders.

Eventually, Ye Chen also departed, but before leaving he cast a glance at the Three Thousand Divine Islands.

Initially, he thought it was a formidable magic array, but after condensing the Combat Saint Soul and breaking the Principle Chains, his understanding of the Dao deepened, realizing more and comprehending more, musing to himself: "Hmm, the Three Thousand Divine Islands might all be a chess piece in the Heavenly Earth Chess, Ancient Demon God, you’ve really placed many backhands."

Departing from the Demon God Temple, Ye Chen ventured into other principal regions within the demon domain, exploring ancient relics from the Era of Gods, also inquiring some divine descendants of the Demon Race.

Half a month later, he also left the Demon Race territory, his incarnation dispersed autonomously.

Yet the journey did not end; on the contrary, Ye Chen left a Supreme Daoist Body in the Emperor City and with the aid of Peacock King opening a Space Channel, traversed million miles from the Emperor City to the Desolate Country, one of the 36 empires, bordering the Human Clan Territory and the junction of the Million Mountains.

This was precisely the Barbarian Tribe Village where Ye Chen, wounded and pursued, was rescued.

Looking at this familiar place where he lived for over a month, Ye Chen felt a few waves of warmth flooding his heart. A simple and pure land, indifferent to worldly concerns, where everyone was honest and sincere.

Ye Chen’s sudden appearance naturally caused the Barbarian Tribe Village to erupt in exclamations and cheers, many tribe people rushed out, witnessing his return, with surprise and excitement, yet obviously becoming much more restrained, lacking the casualness of before.

Even those with whom he was closest, Yezi and the Barbarian youth, acted similarly, watching him from afar, not immediately rushing to embrace or shout joyfully.

The Clan Leader, Elder Wang Mann, and others behaved the same way.

Despite being near the Human Clan Territory’s edge, the Barbarian Tribe Village was not isolated, aware of much news from the outside world, knowing of Ye Chen’s shocking accomplishments in this period, unrivaled, making the world awe him.

When Ye Chen was rescued, he was considered a Divine beings from the Divine Realm, and now they believed their speculation was confirmed, becoming more nervous and restrained, unlike the first casual encounter.

Ye Chen frowned, this was not the scene he wished to see. He desired to witness the relaxed atmosphere from a few months ago, which was his favorite moment.

Nevertheless, he did not deliberately change anything, maintaining his usual demeanor, until a long period passed, the tribespeople gradually resumed their past ease, with Yezi and Barbarian youth becoming familiar, joking with him.
