Chapter 170 - 155: Crownless King (3rd Update)
King’s Ancient Road, this was an ancient path filled with enigmas, far more mysterious and dangerous than the Trial Road.
The Trial Road was merely a path to test the strengths of the many young generations of the Tiandu Continent, and in critical moments, one could even activate a Spirit Talisman for protection. Unless one was extremely unlucky, death was unlikely.
But the King’s Ancient Road was much more perilous. Initially, only those at the Innate Realm or above were eligible to participate. Ye Chen had the qualifications to participate because of his extraordinary talent and cultivation.
Based on some content from his memory, he keenly knew the exceptional nature of this King’s Ancient Road. The further one went, the more crises filled the path, with absolutely no Spirit Talismans for protection; it all depended on one’s own strength.
Moreover, King’s Ancient Road gave Ye Chen a subtly odd feeling, as though it was anything but simple, seemingly a gateway to another more vast and mystical realm.
However, all this was not what Ye Chen dwelled on the most. What he yearned for was to confront that young generation’s Heavenly Pride—Huang Tianqin—who had destroyed his Dantian and expelled him from the King’s Ancient Road!
Whenever this person’s name was mentioned, the expressions of several Gate Masters subtly changed, as if they harbored some apprehension, enough to prove that this person was truly extraordinary.
Ye Chen, lost in thought, did not have much knowledge about Huang Tianqin. His memory from that time only told him that the confrontation was indeed very strong, absurdly so, far more so than Ye Chen at that time.
Moreover, he remembered how Huang Tianqin looked down upon him with scorn and disdain, claiming that destroying his cultivation was only to see how much of a genius the person, who achieved Innate status at the age of thirteen, truly was. To him, it seemed rather ordinary, as he took pleasure in snuffing out geniuses.
He didn’t kill Ye Chen, but casually broke his Dantian and disposed of his Innate cultivation that was built over the previous thirteen years of arduous practice, expelling him from the Trial Road, all to witness the despair in Ye Chen’s eyes as he went from being a genius to a wastrel.
Although Ye Chen was no longer the naive youth he once was, that memory was still deeply etched in his mind, making his gaze turn cold.
