Chapter 2120 - 1947: Five Great God Kings!

"The Primordial—"

A roar from an Emperor, filled with shock and fury, pierced through past and present, shaking the River of Time.

Suddenly, Ye Chen and the others felt a chill that cut to the bone.

The Primordial?

The oldest existence among the Alien Race, eternally coiled within the Ancient Temple at the Cosmic Center, overlooking the Reincarnation and sinking of the entire Chaos Sea.

Back then, when Ye Chen was cutting Chaos Primordial Stones in the Pill Emperor Clan, he cut out a blood-chaotic universe, which was related to the Slaughter Immortal Ship, tied to the final scene, where the Slaughter Immortal Ship buried the entire Ancient Universe, and only Emperor Haan Tian and Taihao Immortal King confronted each other.

At that time, Emperor Haan Tian had desolately declared that he had trusted the wrong person, and turned his gaze toward that rearward place which mortals could not see—visible yet unreachable.

In that instant, a terrifying conjecture surfaced in Ye Chen’s heart: could it be that the one who drove the Eight Desolates Ancient Universe to assault the Primordial Immortal Realm... was the Primordial?

Ye Chen was about to continue watching, but at this moment, everything vanished; the cosmic war was obliterated, and the consciousness of all returned to their respective bodies.

Vaguely, it was as if a voice laden with endless desolation slowly echoed in everyone’s heart: "I have overlooked Reincarnation, seen through ancient and modern. Yet I still cannot see it, cannot touch it. The horizon is but a step away, and I can only lament and sigh that the Emperor Body is but a chess piece in another’s hand..."

Everyone trembled; even an Emperor, Supreme and unmatched, was he also forced to be reduced to another’s chess piece?

A chess piece of the Primordial?

The few Emperor characters on the Emperor Ring returned to ordinary, quietly resting in Ye Chen’s palm, immovable, only the Emperor characters circulating with peerlessly Mysterious meaning.

Yet everything just now had been carved vividly into everyone’s heart, bound up with the Emperor and the Supreme Immortal, with the Emperor’s secret—unimaginable.

Ye Chen lifted his gaze, deep and profound, and spoke softly: "Perhaps this time’s Emperor Dao Inheritance is related to the Slaughter Immortal Ship, and perhaps it touches upon the most terrifying secret of all ages. It is worth probing."

Such an Emperor’s secret would be tied to the most dreadful Primordial.

Time sped by, and soon, the day when the Chaos Pure Land would open finally arrived.

On this day, all major forces appeared in succession, countless top-tier experts gathering within the Gutai Mountain range.

Across the vast Gutai Mountain range, no one knew how many powerhouses had arrived—wherever the eye could see, it was densely packed with figures of experts from every Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain.

There were outstanding Heavenly Pride of the younger generation, famed experts of the previous generation, and even some peerless existences who had been hidden for many years and rumored to have passed away in seated meditation.

The Chaos Pure Land touched upon the Emperor Dao Inheritance, and might well determine upon whom the "Supreme" Immortal Fate would fall—who could remain unmoved?

Among the crowd, Ye Chen had naturally appeared as well, but he concealed his true face, cloaked in a pitch-black long robe that shrouded his entire figure. Moreover, the black robe could block the probing of Divine Thought; no one could glimpse Ye Chen’s true visage within.

Beside him, there were likewise several figures draped in black robes—it was Aben and the others.

Though they appeared mysterious, no one demanded that they reveal their identities, because among the many arriving experts, quite a few were like this; a significant portion did not wish to expose who they were, and the other powerhouses would not offend such people.

Boom—

Right then, upon the Heavenly Dome, a magnificent ancient gate suddenly appeared—it was the Yutian Sect’s ancient gate, from a powerful Ancient Clan.

From within, a Supreme figure descended—a middle-aged man with Blood Qi surging; clad in a cyan robe, incomparably stalwart, tall and straight, his entire being suffused with a terrifying and peerless Dao might that swept across everything. Even those ancient old monsters of the strongest tier would have to bow their heads in submission before such a Supreme powerhouse.

A Nine Tribulations existence!

Without doubt, stepping into the Nine Tribulations Realm was to step into another field; though this realm was not equal to a true Great Realm, it still transcended above the Great Power Realm.

To cross into the Ancient Monarch Realm, one must first step into the Nine Tribulations Realm, and only then would one be qualified to truly touch the King Domain.

It is worth noting that the Nine Tribulations Realm is also called the God King Realm.

Any who stepped into this realm could be titled Divine King, king among gods, incomparably exalted—such was its measure.

"This is the Green Phoenix God King, an invincible Nine Tribulations existence of this era, and he has now descended."

Seeing the arriving Nine Tribulations God King, it was indeed the famed Green Phoenix God King of this age, from the Phoenix Sky Ancient Clan, a Supreme Royal Clan. Among the Three Thousand Royal Families, they stood at the forefront, on par with the Silver Sky Royal Family.

The Green Phoenix God King was moreover one of the foremost figures within the Phoenix Sky Ancient Clan.

His descent naturally drew the eyes of every side.

"We greet the Green Phoenix God King!"

Within the Gutai Mountain range, all the various forces cupped their fists from afar in salute, to show their respect.

Only the Emperor’s son and daughter of several Great Emperor Clans did not salute; they were born noble, and had no need to bow to anyone.

The Green Phoenix God King nodded placidly; he did not blame the Emperor’s son and daughter for not saluting, merely smiled faintly, his gaze circling once as he said, "It seems I am still the first to arrive—"

"Hahaha, Green Phoenix, you’re wrong there—I’ve come as well—"

A clear, hearty laugh came from a place far off at the horizon; it sounded distant, yet in a flash echoed like lightning through the Gutai Mountain range, and then a pitch-black figure flickered several times, appearing from the far horizon and descending upon this place.

Thereafter, a black-robed figure landed here—a wickedly charming man who looked very young, only about twenty-something, yet his hair was ash-grey and his eyes were ancient; clearly, he was an Old Immortal who had lived for who knew how many years.

At his appearance, a pressure spread from his body that made Great Powers on every side shudder.

A Nine Tribulations existence—another Nine Tribulations existence!

The second Nine Tribulations existence had descended, and he was no ordinary figure.

Seeing the newcomer, the Green Phoenix God King also smiled slightly and said, "Tianya, so you’ve come too."

"Tianya? Could he be the Heavenly Edge God King?"

At these words, quite a few people were shocked, for this man was the Heavenly Edge God King, a Nine Tribulations existence of the Black Sky Crow Clan, naturally a peerless powerhouse who had lived for over a hundred thousand years.

"Ya" and "Ya" were homophonous, and with that black robe and wicked, strange air—who else could he be but the Heavenly Edge God King of the Black Sky Crow Clan?

The Heavenly Edge God King laughed loudly, that strange young face looking especially wicked as he said, "Green Phoenix, it’s been thirty thousand years since we parted back then. I didn’t expect you old codger still haven’t died—in fact, you’re looking younger than ever."

On site, the Phoenix Sky Ancient Clan, this Supreme Royal Clan, was naturally present as well. Hearing the Ancient God of the Horizon speak thus of the Green Phoenix God King, who was regarded as a clan ancestor, they all changed expression, wanting to reprimand him, yet they feared his strength, and could only look somewhat grim.

"If you Old Immortal haven’t died, how could I be dead?"

As for the Black Sky Crow’s words, the Green Phoenix God King seemed long accustomed, knowing his temperament well.

The appearance of the two Nine Tribulations existences made all the major forces tense up; it was as if they did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

Boom, boom, boom—

Not long after, more enormous ancient gates of the Yutian Sect stood between heaven and earth—other Nine Tribulations existences had arrived, descending upon the Gutai Mountain range.

Each one stood like an Ancient God King in the heavens, standing upon the dust of the mortal world, unconsciously radiating a vast pressure that was enough to make Great Powers tremble, their bodies containing faint strands of the supreme power of the King Domain.

If the world calls Great Powers gods, then Nine Tribulations existences are god-kings—titled Divine Kings. To grasp even a few strands of Kingly power is to hold the qualification to be king.

In the end, a full five Nine Tribulations God King existences descended upon the Gutai Mountain range; godlike, devil-like, each one stood loftily in midair.
