Chapter 1840: Chapter 1656: Ancient Empire
Boom——
The vast ocean of divine power extending over ten thousand li couldn’t withstand that golden battle spear. At the instant of its projection, the terrifying Dao power carried along shattered it into dust, no longer existent.
"What!?"
That great power’s expression changed dramatically in shock, yet as the golden battle spear shot over, he hadn’t even had time to defend. A sharp golden light flashed by, piercing through him with the spear, bursting out of the star domain, and nailing him onto a star. The fearsome and unparalleled war intent exploded, annihilating both the great power and the star.
Great power fallen!
The entire Eastern Barbaric Continent fell into a deathly silence, countless people watched this scene, deeply inhaling cold air.
Another unparalleled supreme overlord.
Qianxun stood there for a long time, the entire Eastern Barbaric Continent remained silent, with no response received.
"Hmph, truly cowardly scoundrels, actually scared of me, dare not show up!"
After half a day elapsed without catching sight of the Combat Saint King, War Saint Qianxun snorted coldly and turned away, disappearing.
Far in the Western Wilderness Continent, unlike the Eastern Barbaric Continent, perpetually covered by endless ancient forests, this equally vast continent is, in contrast, eternally covered by boundless desert; red sands stretch for billions of li, many places are barren deserts, difficult to find signs of life.
Only after traveling countless miles do vibrant oases appear.
However, compared to the endless desert, these oases are far fewer, and each oasis represents an ancient country.
Among them are nine of the largest oases, each covering a million li in circumference, located in the central region of the Western Wilderness Continent, vaguely connecting with each other, forming the largest immortal ancient country of the Western Wilderness Continent—the Ancient Empire!
The Ancient Empire, with a lengthy national history, tracing back to the early Pill Emperor Star era, even earlier than the birth of the Primordial Emperor, was one of the early ancient countries dominating the Pill Emperor Star.
Though not as mighty and prosperous as in earlier years, unable to dominate the Pill Emperor Star, it remains one of the strongest immortal ancient countries of the Western Wilderness Continent, with ancestors who have ascended to Ancient Monarchs.
The Ancient Emperor City is one of the most thriving and bustling ancient cities of the Pill Emperor Star, comparable to the 49th Pass.
At this moment, Ye Chen arrived at the imperial city of the oldest empire of the Pill Emperor Star, hearing some information about War Saint Qianxun, with Nine Snakes beside him furrowing brows and snorting coldly, saying: "Where did this fellow come from, daring to challenge the master, truly ignorant of their place. Master, please allow me to act and teach him a proper lesson."
Nine Snakes completely recognizes Ye Chen as his master, willingly acknowledging him as such, now encountering Qianxun’s arrogance, naturally feeling very angry.
Nevertheless, Ye Chen stopped him, shaking his head: "Ignore him, continue with our own business."
"But he calls you a coward, afraid to face the challenge." Nine Snakes quickly said, as this concerns the master’s reputation, how could he ignore it.
"You’re not his match, he can suppress young supremes." Ye Chen spoke, then faintly smiled: "Let him say whatever, right now the investigation is important, it matters greatly."
As for War Saint Qianxun’s provocation, Ye Chen was completely indifferent.
Hearing this, Nine Snakes could only feel helpless.
Facing an invincible War Saint capable of suppressing young supremes, he indeed wasn’t a match.
Yet he believed his master is invincible; even the Primordial Emperor unable to subdue fifteen young supremes can’t contend with his master, let alone Qianxun.
War Saint?
Ridiculous, in front of the master known as the Combat Saint King, the so-called War Saint is nothing more than an earth chicken and stray dog, he always believed this.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen stood tall, leaving Nine Snakes in the city, while he alone came before the imperial palace of the Ancient Empire.
Almost instantly, he sharply sensed that within the palace of this Ancient Empire, there were hidden countless strongmen, deep and unfathomable reserves, normal great powers coming would likely not return.
"Who goes there!"
The strongmen guarding in front of the palace gates naturally stepped forward sternly, war soldiers pointing, highly vigilant.
Not forcing through, but the aura flowing from him instantly enveloped the sky and earth, making those palace guards confronting him quake in submission, unable to muster a single thought of resistance.
"Open the palace gates, let me meet your king."
Ye Chen spoke calmly, without any threat, yet the release of an aura sufficed to sweep everything away, causing countless strongmen within the palace claiming to hide tigers and dragons to be frightened.
They trembled, fortunately Ye Chen didn’t strike, otherwise the palace would surely suffer many casualties, this was undoubtedly a great power.
Even for the Ancient Empire wanting to suppress a great power, it would require a massive cost.
Moreover, being this young, astonishing.
"Fellow Daoist, please enter!"
From deep within the palace, a voice echoed, containing a might that makes all subjects submit.
Without doubt, it was the current king, a supreme great power, exceedingly terrifying.
The king gave orders, others naturally dared not obstruct, recognizing being unable to impede, they withdrew to the sides.
Ye Chen took a step, disappearing entirely, making the palace strongmen gasp, for none could detect how he left.
Deep within the palace, in a grand ancient hall, splendid and majestic, filled with Dao Qi Mechanism flowing, it is the core of the palace where the king handles affairs, one of the most important places of the ancient country.
On a throne sat the king, a middle-aged man of authority, wearing a dragon robe, crowned with a brilliant crown, Qi Mechanism imposing, watching the suddenly appearing emperor-like hero in the hall, saying: "Combat Saint King, what business brings you to our Ancient Empire? I don’t recall the Ancient Empire ever dealing with you."
He naturally knew Ye Chen, with the uproar caused with the Primordial Emperor, how could it not be known to the world.
In the imperial hall, not only the king was present, but several important princes, princesses, and other high-ranking princes, all true powerhouses of the Ancient Empire, with high cultivation.
Now seeing this seemingly gentle young heavenly pride, astonishment appeared.
Perhaps not anticipating the invincible Combat Saint King would appear in the Ancient Empire.
"Your majesty jests, I have no grievance with the Ancient Empire. I came for a matter, hoping your majesty could concede." Ye Chen smiled.
"Oh?" The king’s sword-like brows gently twitched, then said: "Saint King Fellow Daoist, state your matter, if it is not too excessive, I can agree."
Even the king of the foremost empire of the Western Wilderness, facing Ye Chen, must treat him politely, the other princes and princesses likewise wouldn’t dare to haughtily gaze down upon him, rather, they, being of the young generation too, had some reverence.
A person’s reputation, like a tree’s shadow!
"I wish to enter the Empire Ruins for three days, may your majesty agree." Ye Chen went straight to the point.
Yet as the words fell, everyone else in the imperial hall instantly changed color.
