After the two headless ancient corpses walked past, the valley inside seemed to be a basin. Suddenly, three more headless ancient corpses appeared. When they stood up, they let out a rumbling sound. After that, they didn't say anything. Only after the two headless ancient corpses had walked past them did they turn around and walk forward.
Ye Chen frowned as he saw this. After thinking for a while, he didn't immediately rush forward. Instead, he followed them from a distance. Relying on the miniature God's Observation Telescope refined by the Xiao Jiu Ding, he wouldn't lose track of them.
As the five headless ancient corpses continued to move forward, they would encounter other headless ancient corpses every once in a while. Very quickly, they formed a huge troop of more than ten headless ancient corpses and moved forward in a grandiose manner.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed as he followed behind them. While pondering, he also divided his attention to practice the twelve energy mysteries that Mi Ke had imparted to him.
For him, multitasking. Drawing a circle with his left hand and drawing a square with his right hand was easier than breathing. It didn't affect him in the slightest.
In the blink of an eye, eight hours had passed. The troop of headless ancient corpses had swelled to over a hundred. Along the way, all the forests, mountains, and cities had been razed to the ground. This kind of monster was simply an evil beast that was born for war.
Ye Chen discovered from the GPS that the Divine Rock Empire's imperial capital was about one light year ahead. It was the foundation of the imperial city. And from the headless ancient corpses' path, it wouldn't take more than an hour to reach the imperial city of the Divine Rock Empire.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment. Then, he clenched his teeth and used the Wind Barrier to hide his body in the air. He couldn't be seen, and his aura couldn't be felt. He quickly swept through the troop of over a hundred headless ancient corpses and directly rushed forward.
These headless ancient corpses only felt a gust of wind blow past them. They didn't feel anything unusual.
Ye Chen turned around and looked at the headless ancient corpses that were gradually moving further away. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Not long ago, when he saw these monsters, he had to retreat and hide. But now, he dared to freely shuttle through a troop of over a hundred corpses. His heart wasn't beating fast, and he wasn't panting. He was calm and unruffled.
Only strength was the foundation of everything!
Ye Chen clearly understood this point. He sped up and used his fastest speed. He directly used Realm Crossing Wind to create a long and winding wormhole-like space passage in front of him. He rushed in and when he reappeared, he was already one light year away from the imperial city of the Divine Rock Empire, 30,000 kilometers away.
"If the Imperial City is finished, then I'm afraid that all the major cities and thousands of vassal states in the Divine Rock Empire will also be finished."
Ye Chen sighed inwardly. Raising his eyes, he saw a corner of the majestic city wall in the middle of a lush forest. Not long after, the entire Imperial City came into view.
Buildings as majestic as sword peaks, grand and majestic palaces and pavilions, floating traffic streets, a blue sky city that floated on the sea, and a semi-enclosed artificial atmosphere and a huge moon.
However, at this moment, a big hole was broken in this solid artificial atmosphere. It was like a glass shattering. There were many cracks spreading around it, and they were slowly healing at a snail's speed.
In the sky outside the artificial atmosphere, countless black dots could be vaguely seen floating in the air. On one side, there were countless people, while on the other side, there were only three people. However, the aura they exuded was not any less than the sea of people. Instead, it was even more powerful!
Ye Chen put on the miniature binoculars and immediately saw the appearance of these three people. The leader was a handsome young man with a slender figure. His eyes under his raised eyebrows were filled with vigor, like a charming starry sky. The corner of his mouth had a faintly discernible smile.
Behind him stood two small children on his left and right. They had porcelain-like smooth and delicate skin, black jade-like hair, clear and pure eyes like pearls in the deep sea. Their hands and feet were short, like babies who had just learned how to walk. Their chests were wrapped in two red and blue bags. They were indescribably cute.
Ye Chen's gaze focused and shifted from the two small children to the handsome youth. He frowned. "It seems that I'm late."
Opposite the handsome youth stood a large group of black figures. They were floating in the air. The leader was a peerless woman wearing a golden dragon robe. Her charm was peerless. Her skin looked like it was carved out of ice. Her black hair was stuck to her ears. Her beautiful face was as cold as frost as she coldly stared at the handsome youth opposite her.
Beside her, there were six bodyguards wearing bright red armor. They were firmly protecting her in six directions.
Ye Chen glanced at them. Suddenly, his gaze froze. He couldn't help but turn pale. "Why is he here? Moreover, he has become the bodyguard of this powerful woman."
Among the six bodyguards, one of them was Zhuge Fan.
An ancient Roman-like helmet covered his head. The imposing armor on his body had small scales. It made his body look tall and mature. However, the clean eyes and familiar face revealed from the helmet were indelible.
Time and light collided. The memories in the depths of his mind were flipped over. He returned to the post-apocalyptic slaughter on Earth. This boy who had witnessed his mother turn into a zombie in the warehouse of the supermarket. After being rescued, he had always been by her side.
More than a hundred years ago on Bai Ling Mountain, she entrusted him to the strong forces. She didn't expect that when they met again a hundred years later, the other party would actually become a bodyguard.
Ye Chen could feel the aura from his body. He had a feeling that this boy who was under his protection back then had truly grown into a strong expert!
But, why was he here?
Could it be that the White Dragon and the rest were also here?
Ye Chen's gaze swept around, looking at the army behind.
… …
Divine Rock Imperial Capital, in the sky above the Imperial City.
Zhuge Fan held his sword hilt. The exquisite sword hilt was engraved with spirals and embedded with a bright red gem. He coldly stared at the handsome man in front of him. His body was in an ingenious position, protecting the beautiful woman behind him. No matter what angle the attack came from, he had a way to counterattack.
Even so, his palms were still sweating. However, before it could completely flow out, it was evaporated by his energy. In order to maintain the speed of his sword attack, he had to keep his palms dry at all times. That way, he wouldn't make any mistakes.
Although the handsome man in front of him had an angel-like handsome face, his faintly discernible smile was like a sharp knife, causing everyone's mood to become extremely heavy. Because a person would only smile when he had the absolute advantage.
"I advise you to hand it over. I don't want to make a move." The handsome man looked at the beautiful woman behind Zhuge Fan's shoulder. His gaze was filled with teasing and lust.
The beautiful woman looked at him coldly. "I know you're the Tenth Emissary of the Heart Realm. However, with your strength alone, I'm afraid it's still wishful thinking for you to slaughter all the peak experts of my empire. If you don't leave, I'll definitely kill you at all costs!"
The handsome man sighed softly. He lowered his head and stroked his slender white palm. "I really don't want to stain my hands with dirty blood. Don't force me. I don't want to be angered. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll do something that I can't control."
"You want the Divine Fire Insignia? Don't even think about it!"
The beautiful woman held her sword tightly and stared at him intently. "Don't think that there are no experts in the ancient world that you can do whatever you want. If I don't die today, don't even think about getting the Divine Fire Insignia!"
"Sigh."
The handsome man shook his head and sighed. "It seems like I can only destroy the flower. It's a pity for such a beautiful woman like you. Don't worry, I'll leave your corpse intact and slowly enjoy it." As he spoke, he licked the corner of his mouth. His eyes emitted a teasing light.
Zhuge Fan stared at him. His hand that was holding the hilt of his sword trembled slightly. Suddenly, he roared and said coldly, "If you want to touch a single hair of the Empress, you'll have to step over my dead body first!" He brandished his sword. The sharp sword gleam was pointed diagonally. A murderous chill lingered around the sword, making a buzzing sound.
The handsome man didn't even look at him. He continued to smile at the Empress of the Divine Rock Empire and said, "If you don't want the thousands of vassal states and countless cities in your empire to be destroyed, I advise you to hand over the Divine Fire Insignia to me. I don't like to use force. You'd better have some self-awareness."
Zhuge Fan was so angry that his chest was about to explode. He clenched his teeth. Without the Empress's order, he didn't dare to attack. His duty was to protect the Empress. Thus, even if he was mad, he wasn't allowed to attack.
Hearing the handsome man's words, the Empress's cold face slightly changed. She clenched her teeth and shouted, "Formation, Rock of Ten Thousand Kingdoms!"
The black mass of soldiers behind her suddenly swam like fish in the deep sea. They quickly changed their shape. Everyone held each other's palms. The power in their body flowed along their meridians to the acupoints in their palms. They flowed through each other and finally gathered at a tall and sturdy man behind the Empress.
This tall and sturdy man stood there, his face expressionless. His bronze skin was like metal, reflecting a cold luster, as if he were a lifeless machine. However, there was an indomitable spirit emanating from his body, as if he could cover the heavens with his hands. He was like an ancient giant!
Whoosh!
A golden light flashed in the tall and sturdy man's eyes. His body suddenly shot out. His fist was like a ferocious tiger. It tore a large piece of the air and hit the handsome young man's chest.
The handsome young man's toes stuck to the void and slid backward. His fist followed closely behind his chest. If he stopped for a moment, he would be hit.
His expression didn't change. After slipping back thousands of feet, he suddenly twisted his body and escaped the range of the tall and sturdy man's fist. He quickly turned around and pointed his finger.
Whoosh!
A bright golden light shot out and hit the tall and sturdy man's eyes.
The burly man didn't panic in the face of danger. He swept out his fist and shattered the golden light. Then, in a flash, he appeared in front of the handsome man. His huge palm grabbed at him fiercely. It was so fast that before the handsome man could react, it had already hit him on the back.
Crack ~
The sound of bones breaking could be heard. With this slap, the handsome young man's entire back was broken!
