Chapter 2160 - 1986: The Greatest Mastermind of All Ages!

Will removed the Red Gold Emperor Crown and handed it to Ye Chen, saying, "Qian Yue, part of the Ancient Great Emperor’s inheritance involves the Chaos Dao, which I believe will be of great use to you. Moreover, the Emperor’s Throne is beneficial for comprehension. You can ascend the Emperor’s Throne to enlighten yourself."

This is true brotherhood through life and death, to live and die together, and even when it comes to the Emperor Dao Inheritance, they can relinquish it with such ease.

Ye Chen smiled, did not refuse, donned the Red Gold Emperor Crown, and also took on the Emperor Ring, ascending the Emperor’s Throne.

In that moment of sitting down, Ye Chen underwent a remarkable transformation, as if he had become another person entirely.

He seemed to have achieved the state of an Ancient Great Emperor, with a majestic Emperor Dao’s Authority hanging down, overlooking the heavens, dominating eternal times, his gaze capable of piercing antiquity and futurity, breaking through the River of Time.

Just then, his Divine Soul Miniature buzzed as if it transcended the River of Time, entering a mysterious space.

This mysterious space, though called a space, is actually vast beyond imagination, yet it is illusory.

However, before him, no inheritance appeared at first; shortly after, a vast and boundless scene emerged, surprisingly showing the Slaughter Immortal Ship attacking the Primordial Immortal Realm, grand and boundless, extremely tragic, countless powerful beings perishing within the cosmos.

The Slaughter Immortal Ship, carrying the entire Eight Desolate Ancient Universe, led by the strongest Emperor Haan Tian, and countless emperors and kings from the Ancient Universe, unleashed attacks before the Immortal Heavenly Pass of the Primordial Immortal Realm, myriad world-ending Divine Skills covering the sky, charging towards the Immortal Heavenly Pass like lightning.

Among them, Ye Chen saw that Ancient Great Emperor holding a spear who had his Emperor Body torn apart and exploded, shaking the cosmos and Eight Desolates, and causing half of the Heavenly Gate at the Immortal Heavenly Pass to collapse, spanning two Ancient Universes.

"Primordial!"

The furious roar of the Ancient Great Emperor shook eternal times, the River of Time also appeared, as he looked back with endless reluctance.

At that moment, Ye Chen followed the Ancient Great Emperor’s gaze, seeing behind, just behind the Slaughter Immortal Ship, there lies a terrifying black hole leading to another Chaos Ancient Universe, emitting incomparable oppressive force.

Even Ye Chen could feel this oppressive force through the ages, as though it could completely tear apart his Chaos Sacred Body.

Beyond that black hole in the Chaos Ancient Universe, Ye Chen distinctly saw, at the center of the Cosmic Origin, an Ancient Temple existing eternally there, seemingly everlasting, as if immortal.

Ye Chen had seen this Ancient Temple before, during the great destruction of the Mythical Era, when the Heavenly Emperor, Combat Saint Emperor, Emperor Supreme Saint, and Time-Space Emperor, the four strongest emperors of all time, were powerless against the cosmic war in the Sealing Universe, all because of the appearance of an Ancient Temple at the center of the Alien Ancient Universe’s Cosmic Origin, belonging to the oldest existence of the alien race—the Primordial!

Primordial!

Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Could it really be the Primordial manipulating behind the scenes, becoming the greatest dark hand throughout eternal times, leading to the burial and annihilation of the entire Eight Desolate Ancient Universe?

"Primordial!"

The Ancient Great Emperor roared again, reconstructing his physical body, even his mighty Emperor Body trembled before the Primordial, not with fear, but with excitement, a kind of furious excitement.

"Only by conquering the Primordial Immortal Realm can eternal life and true immortality be attained!"

Inside the Ancient Temple, the Primordial’s figure remained hidden, but his voice sounded, indistinguishable between male or female, young or old, yet it carried an unemotional indifference akin to the Heavenly Dao treating all beings as straw dogs.

Simultaneously, a wave of efflux emanated from the Ancient Temple, raining far and wide. The freshly reconstructed Immortal Emperor Body of the spear-wielding Ancient Great Emperor exploded again, vast bloodlit flooding the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates, shaking antiquity and futurity, utterly astonishing.

The other side of the Heavenly Gate at the Immortal Heavenly Pass completely collapsed.

"Primordial!"

This time, it was not the spear-wielding Ancient Great Emperor who spoke, but Emperor Haan Tian on the Slaughter Immortal Ship, glaring angrily at the Ancient Temple located at the center of the Alien Ancient Universe’s Cosmic Origin.

"It’s victory or martyrdom, there’s no retreat!"

Primordial spoke, remaining always cold and emotionless.

"The Immortal Heavenly Pass has opened, you can enter and conquer the Primordial Immortal Realm!"

At the Immortal Heavenly Pass, Taihao Immortal King was shrouded in the aura of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, supremely divine, his immortal light infinite and inviolable. He looked at the Primordial, filled with dread.

Then he turned to Emperor Haan Tian, saying, "Withdraw! The Immortal Realm is inviolable; there’s still time, before other fellow Daoists arrive!"

The Primordial Immortal Realm is the most powerful Chaos Ancient Universe within the Chaos Sea, with not just one Immortal King; other Supreme Immortal Kings also reside within the Primordial Immortal Realm. If they came, the Eight Desolate Ancient Universe would undoubtedly be outmatched.

But Emperor Haan Tian’s face was shrouded in mist, Ye Chen could not discern his expression, yet only a resolute voice emerged: "At this point, is retreat still possible? The only way is forward!"

The ending had already been unveiled, as early as when the Chaos Primordial Stone was cut at the Pill Hall of the Pill Emperor Clan, revealing the outcome. A blood-torn universe emerged then and later seen in the remnants of the Slaughter Immortal Ship within the Ancient Emperor Realm.

The demise of the Eight Desolate Ancient Universe is unlike the destruction of the Sealing Universe; it’s total annihilation, the obliteration of the Ten Thousand Clan, complete destruction.

The subsequent scenes flashed by lightning fast, until eventually, a peerless Emperor’s Shadow appeared before Ye Chen, magnificent beyond compare, broad-shouldered, capable of supporting the entire Chaos Ancient Universe, with wise eyes that could penetrate antiquity and futurity, dominating all skies.

He wore a Red Gold Emperor Crown, bore a simple and genuine Emperor Ring, one of the greatest existences across time, holding a Red Gold Battle Spear, he was the Ancient Great Emperor whose Emperor Body was shattered by the Primordial, tearing apart the Heavenly Pass Ancient Gate.

It was previously revealed, for within the Emperor Ring, the crucial portrayal of this Ancient Great Emperor existed, with himself being the master.

This was a tragic Ancient Great Emperor, glorious in life, honored to the extreme, capable of looking down upon the Chaos Sea, dominating antiquity and futurity, yet his final battle turned him into a mere pawn, mercilessly exploited by the alien race’s Primordial, shattering his Emperor Body, tearing apart the Heavenly Pass Ancient Gate.

The Ancient Great Emperor appeared, his figure extraordinarily mighty, his Emperor’s Aura peerless, even just a mere phantom is astounding.

Yet he was an invincible Ancient Great Emperor, his Emperor Dao unparalleled, naturally a mere phantom was not all he had; he had pierced antiquity and futurity, in the unknowable vast ages seeing the present, looking at Ye Chen before him, he smiled, saying: "I didn’t expect that kid would be willing, actually allowing his own Emperor Dao Inheritance to be given up, letting you accept it."
