Eternal Holy Emperor

Chapter 1602 1432: Matters of the Past

In an instant, everyone felt a chill run down their spine, as if their hair was about to stand on end.

Nalan Yunxuan, astonishingly, is the Ancient Ancestor and founder of the Nine Domains Divine Country, and he left his mark here without being annihilated. Instead, he became one of the existences in the nine ancient temples, guarding the Abyss Rift.

How bizarre this is.

Just thinking about it is enough to send chills down everyone's back.

Many people had learned about the dominance of the Nine Domains Divine Country, a formidable force in the starry sky. Back then, it was incomparably powerful because the founder, Ancient Ancestor Nalan Yunxuan, stood at the Absolute Peak of Great Power, almost stepping into another supreme realm, achieving the status of an Ancient Monarch, hence its strong dominance for a time.

Even today, the Nine Domains Divine Country remains a dominant level force in the starry sky, ruling several sections of the Star Domain with immense power, very strong indeed.

However, Nalan Yunxuan, the founder, suddenly disappeared back then. There were some rumors that he was involved in some monumental plan with a group of peerless strong individuals, seemingly related to the Emperor, but it was very secretive. This plan had been calculated since the time Nalan Yunxuan was very young, spanning a full hundred thousand years, leading to the unexpected burial in the Heavenly Burial Domain.

The ancient stele contains some fragmented information, although disconnected, it can be pieced together to reveal the truth of that time.

Back then, Nalan Yunxuan reigned supreme in the starry sky for a hundred thousand years, leading the entire Nine Domains Divine Country down a glorious path, solidifying its dominance over several Star Domains.

He was very powerful back then, living for an extraordinarily long period, reaching the end of an Ancient Great Power's life span, nearing the point of sitting down permanently.

Despite his strength, unfortunately, he failed multiple times over the years to break into the Ancient Monarch Domain, and knowing it was nearly impossible for him to take another step forward alone, he was naturally unwilling to just fade away, thus he sought alternative means.

The Nine Domains Divine Country had stabilized with the birth of another Ancient Great Power who could guard the Divine Country in his stead, thus he needed to leave the Nine Domains Divine Country, break through the barrier of the Great Power Realm, ascending to greater heights, striving for a more glorious future, and a longer life, aiming for the Absolute Peak of the Dao.

He also hoped to lead the Nine Domains Divine Country to even greater glory and strength, truly reigning supreme over the Ancient Universe.

Therefore, he set his sights on the Emperor Tomb in the Heavenly Burial Domain, a plan secretly devised over ten thousand years.

In the end, he consumed the most precious Divine Pill to restore his peak state temporarily and joined forces with eight other Absolute Peak Powers from the depths of the starry sky to jointly open the hidden Emperor Tomb in the Heavenly Burial Domain. They had earlier deduced the day of Yin Yang Chaos when the Primordial Continent would tear through the starry sky, marking the greatest opportunity for seizing the Emperor's legacy.

Back then, Nalan Yunxuan, along with the nine supreme powerhouses, descended upon the Primordial Continent and went through a great battle, finally arriving before the Abyss Rift, understanding that there was a King-level Ancient Beast in eternal slumber, guarding the passage to another realm.

After ten thousand years of preparation, Nalan Yunxuan and the nine supreme beings were well-prepared. They found the King's Origin World of a fallen Ancient Monarch in the starry sky, which, though very precious, was refined by their combined efforts and pushed into the Abyss Rift. Despite the massive influence of the Abyss Giant Beast, the Emperor Ancient Realm was reduced but remained quite solid, forming a small world linking the two realms.

The nine supreme beings used the Heavenly Divine Materials to build the Heavenly Ladder, allowing them to bypass the Abyss Giant Beast and enter the true Emperor Realm.

The existence of this ancient stele was intended to document the successful capture of the Emperor Tomb by the nine supreme beings, describing all aspects of the plan, to be known by future generations.

However, upon entering the Emperor Realm, they encountered completely unexpected issues, filled with deep terror and immense anger. The emergence of some unforeseen events caught them completely unprepared.

This is why the subsequent phrase "Man proposes, but heaven disposes" was uttered in shock and anger.

Ultimately, it appears this monumental plan failed, with Nalan Yunxuan becoming a puppet within the nine ancient temples, guarding the Emperor Tomb.

Exactly what does "Man proposes, but heaven disposes" mean?

Everyone inexplicably felt a sense of dread, especially as the ancient stele bore the words—"Man proposes, but heaven disposes, Can man conquer heaven?"

Everything seems to suggest that the appearance of the Primordial Continent was not the result of the Emperor's legacy appearing, but rather possibly a terrifying grand conspiracy.

What kind of conspiracy could this be?

Everyone wanted to return, yet the Light Gate had disappeared long ago, faces turning pale as they found themselves locked in this desolate Emperor Realm, unable to return to the other side.

Boom——

Simultaneously, infinite light erupted from the central Great Rift, accompanied by terrifying roars, as the massive giant beast roared incessantly, the nine Chaos Immortal Gold Divine Chains on its body clinking continuously, resounding through the heavens.

Swish, swish, swish——

A colossal Divine Light Channel appeared within, with Supreme Emperor Weapons floating in suspension. It resembled a Dao Map, seeming to encompass the Great Universe of the heavens, evolving into the Heavenly Great World, with numerous Ancient Stars revolving, releasing boundless brilliance, imbued with Emperor's Might, immensely powerful.

Within, six blazing spheres of light were shining brightly, representing the Six Great King Immortal Weapons, all awakened, constructing a dazzling path that spanned both sides of the Abyss Rift, allowing the Heavenly Great Abilities to successively enter, charging into the desolate and ruined Emperor Realm.

"It's bad!"

Everyone suddenly turned pale. Now that the Heavenly Great Abilities had charged in, how could they return?

"Senior!"

The powerful ones hurriedly spoke, sending messages to the Heavenly Great Abilities, hoping to stop them and continuously open the Divine Light Channel, for they felt a terrifying sense of crisis quickly looming over them, as if some world-ending disaster was about to occur.

However, the Heavenly Great Abilities rushed into the ruined Emperor Realm one after another, and maintaining the Divine Light Channel required consuming a lot of energy. As soon as the Heavenly Great Abilities entered, they had already released the Supreme Emperor Weapons and the Six King Immortal Weapons, retrieving them, causing the Divine Light Channel to collapse.

Boom——

The massive Abyss Giant Beast let out a roar, its gigantic body filling the central Great Rift entirely, with nine Chaos Immortal Gold Divine Chains swirling and disintegrating the heavens, constantly turbulent, yet not attacking the Heavenly Great Abilities further.

Even Ye Chen's expression changed slightly this time, sensing a colossal problem arising, and in a flash, he appeared before the Heavenly Great Abilities, addressing Jiuhuang Great Power, "Senior, reopen the channel to connect the outside world, I suspect there's a great conspiracy here."
