Eternal Holy Emperor

"Humph!"

With a cold snort left behind, the seven supreme pinnacles rushed into the Mist Secret Realm, vanishing without a trace.

Entering within, it was a vast wilderness, expansive and majestic, with mountains and valleys.

Additionally, Emperor Dao Law pervaded the area, appropriately suppressing some Dao practice, preserving the eternal immortality of the Mist Secret Realm.

Vaguely, from the boundless region, many dangerous auras were felt coexisting, causing many trialists entering to change expression, even some young supremes became solemn.

Mist Secret Realm was a supreme trial secret realm established by an emperor of old, specifically for emperor’s son and daughter or the strongest young supreme, naturally filled with numerous dangers.

However, after modifications by the protector of the supreme ancient path, those dangers have reduced significantly, at least the quasi-young supremes who are just a hair’s breadth away from the young supreme level have the qualification to participate. As long as they are careful, they won’t perish within.

Nevertheless, there are still one hundred and eight trial creatures present, each very terrifying, at the great power level, targeting the cultivation of trialists, and among them, thirty-six are at the young supreme level.

To pass the supreme trial, one must at least kill one trial creature and obtain the Nine Heavens Profound Crystal from them.

Moreover, this Nine Heavens Profound Crystal is a Dao treasure, containing the essence of Dao, aiding in enlightenment and cultivation.

The stronger the trial creature, the more refined and powerful the Nine Heavens Profound Crystal within, the stronger the essence of Dao contained, even enabling insight into the King Domain’s Dao.

Entering the Mist Secret Realm, one will be randomly sent to different regions.

The one hundred and eight trial creatures will also appear randomly in different regions within the Mist Secret Realm, and if unlucky, one might immediately encounter a young supreme-level trial creature.

Swish—

At a location over Thousand Island Lake, Ye Chen, Aben, Mo Haishen, and Luoo Guyun appeared simultaneously without being separated and randomly teleported because Ye Chen cast a spell, encompassing the three into the Chaos Tripod, resulting in this outcome.

"Let’s go!"

Upon descending, Ye Chen immediately rushed toward the central land of the Mist Secret Realm.

The true target still lay within the central land of the Mist Secret Realm, spanning ten thousand miles, and according to the Heaven City Lord’s information, the mysterious ancient coffin was located in the central land of the Mist Secret Realm.

As for the so-called Nine Heavens Profound Crystal, Ye Chen cared not at all.

Although the Emperor Dao Law in the Mist Secret Realm suppresses the trialists’ cultivation, it wasn’t overly oppressive, and Ye Chen, along with several others, still glowed with dazzling divine light, swiftly crossing the sky, heading toward the central land.

Roar—

Suddenly, a giant as tall as the heavens appeared, descending before Ye Chen and others, blocking their path.

"Great Power Third Realm, Quasi-Young Supreme Level!"

One glance revealed the level of this giant, one of the one hundred and eight trial creatures, very powerful.

Yet, Ye Chen did not move, as Mo Haishen, behind him, swiftly charged forward, displaying the combat power of a high-level young supreme.

Roar—

Sensing Mo Haishen’s level, the quasi-young supreme-level giant trial creature unexpectedly surged in aura, reaching the Great Power Sixth Layer Heaven.

"Goodness, these trial creatures indeed vary by individual; the trialist’s level equals the trial creature’s level!" Luoo Guyun sighed lightly.

Boom—

Amid a earth-shattering roar, the quasi-young supreme-level trial creature was easily slain, utterly crushed.

Even if the giant trial creature’s level elevated to match Mo Haishen’s Great Power Sixth Layer Heaven, it was insufficient; the gap between the quasi-young supreme level and the high-level young supreme level was too vast, making the giant trial creature far from a match.

Mo Haishen restrained his aura, holding a fist-sized rhombus crystal in his hand, dense with Dao Patterns, Dao Light flowing—indeed the Nine Heavens Profound Crystal, richly infused with Dao essence, enabling enlightenment.

"Master!"

Mo Haishen offered the Nine Heavens Profound Crystal to Ye Chen, but the latter slightly shook his head: "Since it was you who killed to obtain it, it is yours."

Upon hearing this, Mo Haishen was joyous, as such Nine Heavens Profound Crystal could indeed move him, even as a high-level young supreme.

Then Ye Chen addressed the three of them: "The three of you need not follow me closely; you can each hunt those trial creatures, obtain the Nine Heavens Profound Crystal for enlightenment."

"But—" Aben was about to speak, but Ye Chen interrupted, saying: "No one can harm me, leave it at that."

Within the calm words lay absolute confidence in his own strength.

Upon hearing these words, Aben knew the master’s mind was made up, and the other two understood that if even the master couldn’t solve the issue, it wouldn’t help for them to join in.

Thus, they split up and took different paths.

Ye Chen headed towards the Central Land in the Mist Secret Realm, while the three others went to hunt trial creatures.

Swish—

With a step forward, Ye Chen instantly traversed mountain ranges and valleys, speeding like lightning toward the central location.

The journey was smooth; Ye Chen’s prior display of strength had intimidated many. He dared to slap the second member of the Supreme Three Heroes, and no one dared to offend him lightly.

Moreover, he exhibited astounding combat prowess. He encountered a trial creature of the Basic Young Supreme Level at the Fourth Layer Heaven—a Heavenly Eagle Giant Demon with a body stretching thousands of miles, wings spread to blot out the sky, casting a giant shadow on the earth, charging at Ye Chen.

This Heavenly Eagle Giant Demon trial creature had hunted down several quasi-young supreme experts along the way, making even some Basic Young Suprema take two to three breaks into the Great Power Realm, unable to defeat it, often choosing to avoid confrontation.

It could be said this trial creature was among the top tier of the 108 trial creatures, its realm sufficiently high.

Yet under the wide-eyed gaze of many, Ye Chen’s figure traversed thousands of miles in an instant, lightning-fast, brushing past the Heavenly Eagle creature.

Then you heard a heartrending shriek, as the thousand-mile-long Heavenly Eagle trial creature’s massive body ripped open, shattering directly, blood rain flying, revealing a Nine Heavens Profound Crystal the size of a human head, which Ye Chen grabbed in his palm before it vanished.

Although that Nine Heavens Profound Crystal was quite tempting, Ye Chen’s strength was equally undeniable; to easily slay a Fourth Layer Heaven’s Basic Young Supreme Level trial creature was something others could not match.

Half a day later, Ye Chen sped forth, arriving at the Central Region, covering an area of 300,000 miles. Normally, a divine thought from Ye Chen would be enough to perceive everything, but the Mist Secret Realm imposed Emperor Dao Law restrictions, significantly limiting Ye Chen’s Chaos Divine Sense, hindering complete perception.

However, he soon located that mysterious ancient coffin between the nine Divine Mountains, each extending thousands of miles, vast and majestic, seeming like giant dragons dormant within the earth, awe-inspiring.

Furthermore, Ye Chen clearly noticed atop each of the nine mountain peaks stood a trial creature, with features like three heads and six arms, human bodies with snake tails, or heads of tigers, dragons, lions, etc., each a peculiar being, at least High-level Young Supreme Level, its realm and aura unpredictable, varying with each being.

"Nine High-level Young Supremes, this is going to be troublesome."

Ye Chen frowned slightly. Though he was the strongest young supreme with all great realms reaching Tenth Layer Heaven Perfection, simultaneously confronting nine High-level Young Supremes was not as easy as imagined.

But the nine High-level Young Supreme Level trial creatures all perched atop their respective Divine Mountain altars, unmoving, as though they’d only act if someone stepped between the nine mountains.

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

At this moment, intense battle fluctuations erupted in the distance, followed by several dazzling streams of blood staining the Mist Secret Realm.

Seven supreme figures rushed out, twelve giant trial creatures crushing to pieces, plummeting from the sky to the earth below, smashing countless mountain ranges into collapse, dust rising, smoke billowing, leaving only seven individuals standing tall on the heavenly dome, attracting attention everywhere.

The Seven Supreme Pinnacle!

Twelve Nine Heavens Profound Crystals the size of human heads flew out, landing in the hands of the Seven Supreme Pinnacle, swirling, emitting brilliant Dao Light.

"So powerful!"

"Twelve Basic Young Supreme Level trial creatures actually only lasted a short while before being slain."

"Indeed, the offspring of Emperor’s sons and daughters or direct disciples, at least High-level Young Supreme Level supreme talents."

In the Mist Secret Realm, many trial talents sighed lightly, acknowledging their inferiority after witnessing the strength of the seven figures.

They couldn’t deny that, being offspring of Emperor’s sons and daughters or direct disciples, their power was indeed astonishing, perhaps excessively strong. In such a short time, they managed to successfully slay twelve Basic Young Supreme Level trial creatures.

For others, it would likely require a fierce battle before they could genuinely and arduously slay them.

"Alright, the barriers have been slain, now only the ancient coffin in the central land remains!"

The Seven Supreme Pinnacle turned their gaze toward the mysterious ancient coffin encircled by the nine mountain ranges in the central land, each shooting out brilliant light beams.

Naturally, their appearance in Mist Pass was not merely for a Supreme Trial. Such trials, arranged by their fathers and teachers, were more than adequate, perhaps even better. Why struggle to rush back?

The true purpose was for this ancient coffin, appearing with the power of time, seemingly emerging from the most mysterious River of Time, even arousing the Emperor’s sons and daughters deep within the Ten Heavenly Realm.

Had it not been for them being unable to leave the Ten Heavenly Realm, they would have come themselves by now.

Yet even under such circumstances, arrangements were made accordingly. These seven came for this reason, while others related to Emperor’s sons and daughters seemed to be making their way over, though they hadn’t arrived yet, they were merely one step ahead.

Naturally, the seven were temporarily allied together, aware of the Supreme Trial dynamics in the Mist Secret Realm, to better manage the nine most formidable trial creatures atop the Divine Mountains.

As for who would claim the ancient coffin, each would rely on their own methods when the time came.

Suddenly, the seven’s gaze simultaneously focused, having discovered Ye Chen’s presence.
