CHAPTER 995: CHAPTER 907: ANCIENT EMPEROR CONTINENT (PART 2)

Thirty-six empires, seventy-two ancient countries!

Among them, each of the thirty-six empires is comparable to the mighty Eternal Imperial Dynasty of the Ancient God Continent.

The seventy-two ancient countries are just a bit inferior to the thirty-six empires, yet they are also very powerful, with strong foundations.

The thirty-six empires and seventy-two ancient countries form the strongest 108 Divine Countries of the Human Clan Territory, ruling over the vast and expansive Human Clan Territory.

Of course, other kingdoms and sects are also numerous, just like on the Ancient God Continent.

However, overall, the Ancient Emperor Continent is far stronger than the Ancient God Continent, evident from the presence of thirty-six empires and seventy-two ancient countries making up 108 countries.

The area where the Barbarian Clan resides belongs to one of the thirty-six empires, the Desolate Country, also the only domineering empire close to the edge of the Human Clan Territory.

Naturally, the Barbarian Clan is located at the very edge of the empire, near the Million Mountains outside the Human Clan Territory.

It is worth mentioning that the Ancient Emperor Continent has the presence of deities.

This fact has been verified.

Since the glorious and prosperous Era of Gods began, deities have existed, residing high above, dwelling above the Nine Heavens.

It is rumored that when one’s cultivation reaches a pinnacle, they can break the void and ascend, becoming a god, entering the mysterious Divine Realm.

And the Divine Realm had appeared as early as the Era of Gods.

"The Divine Realm?" Ye Chen was initially puzzled, then sneered, because for the countless plane worlds in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, the Ten Thousand Domains are actually the Divine Realm and Heavenly Realm, as it is the world of all mighty experts.

Beyond it lies the mysterious Primordial Immortal Realm, rumored to be a realm with the existence of immortals, a grand world that ancient emperors yearned for.

Therefore, he did not believe in the so-called existence of the Divine Realm and had looked up at the Heavenly Dome in the dead of night, vaguely sensing a unique Inner Heaven and Earth hidden in the outer domain above the Nine Heavens, exuding immortal Qi Mechanism.

Ye Chen speculated that the so-called Divine Realm should be there, where the so-called deities are. The so-called Divine Realm is likely just a relatively special world within a world located in the Emperor Realm of the Ancient Emperor Continent.

To this, he only gave a sneer, not caring much at all.

The thing that had always puzzled Ye Chen was, wasn’t there an Emperor and Royal Family on the Ancient Emperor Continent?

Such mysteries had always been circulated on the Ancient God Continent, but there seemed to be no records.

Not until much later did Ye Chen finally uncover some useful information in many ancient tomes.

He discovered that although the Ancient Emperor Continent was dominated by thirty-six empires and seventy-two ancient countries, ruling over the Human Clan Territory, the true sovereign forces of the continent were other powers—

Supreme Saint Palace, Dark Night Hall, Sun God Dynasty!

The three supreme forces, with statuses transcending all, like the Ancient Divine Palace on the Ancient God Continent.

Dark Night Hall and Sun God Dynasty need no further explanation; one is a mysterious ancient hall hidden in the dark night, seemingly founded on the force of the bright moon in the Nine Heavens.

The other is a rumored immortal dynasty established upon the Sun, grander and more magnificent than the thirty-six empires, perhaps even stronger than the Ancient Divine Palace.

Ye Chen thought briefly and understood that the two supreme forces seemed related to the legendary Twin Kings—Dark Night King and Sun Monarch—of the Mythical Era, as could be inferred simply from their names.

And the most mysterious and transcendent Supreme Saint Palace was rumored to have been founded by the Emperor and Royal Family, established by the ancient great emperor who created Heaven and Earth, an Eternal Immortal Supreme Palace, secretly ruling the entire Ancient Emperor Continent, potentially even territories beyond the Human Clan Territory, meaning the entire Ancient Emperor Continent seemed to be under the dominion of the Supreme Saint Palace.

The so-called Pill of Immortality and Emperor’s Secret Treasure are, in fact, in the grasp of the Supreme Saint Palace.

Indeed, he already knew that the Ancient Emperor Continent must be more complicated than the Ancient God Continent.

Ye Chen smiled silently in response, "The so-called deities are merely a group of relatively powerful cultivators, and not immortal. True deities, without reaching that realm, none have the right to claim the title."

That realm, naturally, is the Mythical Emperor and Emperor!

The crowd heard Ye Chen’s words and found them profound, difficult to comprehend, but immediately understood as well that the words of deities could not be easily understood and penetrated.

To this, Ye Chen made no further explanation.

Soon after, the group arrived at the edge of a giant pit, the giant pit spanning a hundred feet in diameter, twenty feet deep, charred black, with soil melted into glass.

In the pit alone stood a bronze spear, half-buried in the central bottom of the pit.

At that time, the appearance of this bronze spear rendered many experts of the Barbarian Clan helpless, even the clan leader could not pull it out.

It is known that the clan leader is the strongest of the Barbarian Clan, a super expert of the Seventh Layer Heaven of Divinity Transformation, yet was powerless, which says much.

The Barbarian youth said, "Thousand, this spear reportedly fell from the sky simultaneously as you appeared, told by the tribe. We don’t know if it’s your Divine Weapon. But it’s very heavy, and no one in our tribe can pull it out."

Ye Chen laughed, knowing they could not possibly lift the Desolate Great Halberd. In terms of pure weight, only the supreme physical body strength of the Combat Saint Body could retrieve it.

With a gentle leap, spanning dozens of feet, he effortlessly and nimbly leaped down into the deep pit, arriving before the bronze spear, and sighed lightly, surprised that the Desolate Great Halberd ended up here, finally to be reunited today.

He stretched out his hand, grasped the big halberd, and pulled it with force.

Clang!

The bronze spear was pulled out easily, leaving everyone present stunned.

Because they had exhausted all efforts without success, the strongest clan leader only managed a slight tremor, yet now, in Ye Chen’s hands, it was as light as a feather, taken up with no more effort than a common weapon.

What kind of power could accomplish this?

But it made them even more convinced that Ye Chen was indeed a deity from the Nine Heavens, only such an existence could command power unrivaled and unmatched.

After retrieving the Desolate Great Halberd, the Barbarian youth and several Barbarian Warriors eagerly stepped forward to ask Ye Chen to let them try it, disbelieving in superstition.

Ye Chen smiled and tossed it single-handedly to the Barbarian youth.

With a loud crash, the Barbarian youth was crushed to the ground by the Desolate Great Halberd, unable to move. The seemingly ordinary bronze spear was as heavy as a million mountains, immovable even an inch.

The other Barbarian Warriors who stepped forward could not move it either and ultimately looked at Ye Chen helplessly, their faces flushed red.

"Do you believe now?" Ye Chen smiled, and the Barbarian youth and others nodded, allowing him to easily lift it.
