Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 794 - 737: The Vanishing Power

The Ancient Divine Domain was vast and boundless, far greater than one could imagine.

Under Ye Chen’s speculation, it probably rivaled the Gulan World, or perhaps it was even more immense.

After all, according to the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor’s guess, the Ancient Divine Domain might very well be the Great World Heaven and Earth that had been opened by the Emperor Supreme Saint, magnificent and grand.

Merely this Ancient Desolate Forest was no weaker than the Ancient Demon Domain of the Gulan World, with numerous terrifying Demon Beasts roaming through heaven and earth.

The Golden Feathered Divine Peng with its Cloud Wings, the Divine Turtle that devoured Divine Eagles, the Green-Scaled Giant Python that had slept for who knows how many years...

Everything about the Ancient Divine Domain highlighted its extraordinary nature, with plenty of Great Demons of the Saintly Treasure Realm level lurking, not omnipresent, but certainly not few in hiding.

Even the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor was repeatedly astounded, with waves of admiration stirring in his heart.

Far away, the ancient trees stretched into the sky, their branches and leaves spreading to cover the sun and obscure the light.

The mountains and rivers were primitive, with old vines entwining like dragons, lofty peaks towering, mountain ranges extending, and rivers and streams magnificently flowing—a veritable vision of an ancient desolate landscape.

It was like an unopened ancient world, yet the creatures within were all powerful and fearsome, and Ye Chen could even sense the presence of real Saint Master Level Demon Lords within the Ancient Desolate Forest.

It must be said that this was a terrifying Great World Heaven and Earth, perhaps even more dangerous than the Gulan World.

And being sent in from the King’s Divine Statue seemed to be untargeted, completely scattered throughout the various locations of the Ancient Divine Domain.

Like Yuan Yang God King, like Will, they had all entered the Ancient Divine Domain, but he had not found any trace of them. As astute as he was, how could he not understand all this?

However, it also gave Ye Chen a headache because the Ancient Divine Domain was too large, and he had no idea how to search for Ruoxi, Yaya, Zhao Jingruo, and the others.

The Ancient Divine Domain was no inferior to the Gulan World, and it was quite strange that a World Master as powerful as him felt difficulty in communicating with the Gulan World here, facing an invisible hindrance. The World Gate within him was hard to open, with only a small portion unlocked, and the World Power could only trickle out in thin strands.

This greatly limited the display of his power.

The braver the artist, the greater the spirit. Even though he struggled to communicate with the Gulan World, Ye Chen was always a Supreme Genius, capable of suppressing Heroic Masters of the Saint Realm with ease and with the Power of Faith and the Heavenly Desolation at his disposal, he feared nothing.

Even if there were extremely terrifying existences within the Ancient Divine Domain that could not be matched, Ye Chen believed he could avoid their sharp edges.

Yet, he did not know where he was exactly, with the vast land making it impossible to discern any direction, ultimately deciding to travel eastward. Along the way, he tried to avoid those Demon Beasts, not wishing to unnecessarily invite trouble.

During his journey he witnessed the strict law of the jungle in the Ancient Desolate Forest, the survival of the fittest. Although there were Acquired, Innate, and Demigod Beasts, they could only exist as the lower-tiered living creatures.

The Demon Beasts here were too terrible. Even the Great Demons of the Divinity Transformation Realm could be devoured at any moment, and only those terrifying members of the Demon Race of Semi-Saint level and above had the right to preserve their lives.

Given that the powerful Saint Realm Demon Beasts were not lacking here, just in three days, in addition to the initial encounters with the Golden Feathered Divine Peng, Divine Turtle, and Green-Scaled Python, he had come across no fewer than seven Saint Realm Demon Races, making his scalp tingle.

This Ancient Divine Domain was far more perilous than imagined.

Half a day later, Ye Chen inadvertently entered a deep mountainous valley and caught sight of a palace complex situated in its depths.

Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, and the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor had already transformed into a tall human shape—a man and a dragon both somewhat shocked as they gazed into the distance at the palace complex, showing a hint of delight.

Since there were palaces, it indicated the presence of cultivators and the possibility of learning information about the Ancient Divine Domain.

However, they proceeded with caution; they didn’t rush over immediately but instead observed carefully for a moment, then sighed helplessly in resignation.

This was because there were no living creatures in the palace buildings which were empty and rundown, with hardly any intact structures to be seen – all were reduced to broken foundations and fallen beams.

These palace buildings were extensive, far more magnificent and enormous than the imperial palaces of dynastic emperors in the Human World, stretching for hundreds of miles without end in sight. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

One could imagine that in the past, this was the locus of an extraordinary power, yet in the end, it could not withstand the ravages of time. It either waned after reaching its peak or fell due to attacks from enemies or something else, eventually becoming buried within the Ancient Desolate Forest.

Ye Chen and the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor entered the palace buildings. Despite their dilapidation, they could still see how magnificently vast the palaces once were; each towered a hundred zhang high, some even several hundred to a thousand zhang high, soaring into the clouds.

They even saw ancient patterns carved into the buildings, works of art by Grandmasters, crafted to perfection.

Walking through, they could feel how mighty and prosperous the power that once inhabited these palaces was.

In the end, Ye Chen found an old and cracked stele sunk into the ground outside the palace. He pulled it out and saw the name of the palace’s power—

Luohe River Sect!

A power that might have been exceptionally prosperous in the past, yet all its glory was nothing but history now, long since vanished like dust in the wind, no longer existing.

Turning around, Ye Chen and the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor left the palace, for after a half-day search, there were no treasures left in the palace, and the few Daoist Soldiers they found had lost much of their Divinity.

The treasure vaults of such a great power were completely empty, nothing left at all.

Even Ye Chen couldn’t find any information related to the Ancient Divine Domain, which was his biggest disappointment.

He didn’t believe that the Ancient Divine Domain was just an Ancient World of Primordial Forest; there must be other races’ existence, and even powerful nations or prosperous Great Sect powers like the Gulan World.

But now, it was impossible to pursue any further.

Leaving with regrets.

Ye Chen and the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor set off together, traveling eastward, their figures flashing like lightning, moving swiftly through the Ancient Desolate Forest.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use the Void Divine Platform to traverse the skies, but because each step could span millions of miles, he was worried that operating the Void Divine Platform might inadvertently intrude into the territory of a great power or a Saintly Treasure Realm Great Demon, causing unnecessary trouble.

Speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear.

Unwittingly, Ye Chen stumbled into the territory of a fearsome Great Demon.

"Ao hou—"

A roar shook the heavens and earth, causing mountains far and wide to tremble, with several Little Shan bursting apart.

What emerged was a massive Saint Realm Demigod Beast, and it was a Gray Dragon. It was as formidable as the Gray Dragon King, the First Great Bandit. Although not pure, at least one-third of the blood flowing through its veins was Dragon Blood, making it incredibly powerful, many times stronger than a Demon Flood Dragon.

The Gray Dragon hovered in the sky, its rumbling presence shaking the entire world, its size even dwarfing the mountains, truly formidable.
