In the dim room, Long Xuke was still excitedly studying the treasure chest. Outside the multicolored door, Bai Lan stood up and monitored the injured Jin Zu. As time passed, there was still no movement. They became more and more anxious.
"This is …"
When the multicolored light disappeared from his sight, Long Chen felt as if he had arrived in the middle of a grassland. His entire body was covered with lush grass, and the sky was filled with warm sunlight. In the distance, a flock of sheep was under the control of shepherds, eating grass in an orderly manner. A group of fine horses galloped past his eyes.
"Child."
This cry brought Long Chen back to his senses. He looked in front of him. In front of him, there were four balls of light that transformed into four old men. The four balls of light were gold, cyan, black, and yellow.
The four transformed old men were also of the same color.
"Seniors, are you the Five Emperors from tens of thousands of years ago? Junior Long Chen greets you." These people were indeed respectable characters, so Long Chen hastily bowed to them.
But wasn't there supposed to be five Five Emperors? Why were there only four?
As if sensing Long Chen's doubts, one of the old men shrouded in golden light said, "Old Four is the one who gave you the five-colored key. He left us a long time ago. In order to give away the key, he must have exhausted the power of his God Martial Spirit."
Experts of the God Martial Spirit could fuse their God Martial Spirit into one. With the support of energy, the God Martial Spirit could live for a very long time. Even if the body was seriously injured, as long as the God Martial Spirit was there, it could recover.
The one in the Distant Fire Divine Realm was the Scarlet Emperor of the Five Emperors.
"In other words, you already knew that I would come here," Long Chen quickly asked.
He didn't expect the five-colored key to be the key to coming here. At that time, the Five Emperors gave him the key. It seemed that Long Chen was indeed their chosen successor.
"That's right. When you set foot in the God Wushu Sage Dynasty, Old Four sensed the existence of the Dragon Martial Spirit. That's why he gave you the five-colored key. It was for you to come here today. It's been too long. Even if we don't move or speak, the God Martial Spirit won't last much longer. Fortunately, you appeared at the last moment." Another old man in black light said.
This was the Mystic Emperor.
"So, they already planned this."
Thinking of this, Long Chen was extremely happy. This meant that these seniors had already sensed his potential, and were preparing to give their inheritances to him.
They all knew about the Dragon Martial Spirit.
"We've been waiting in the Five Emperors Mystic Realm for too many years, but there was no suitable person to inherit our legacy. The Demon Race is eyeing the things we left behind. Because of this, Old Four had no choice but to go to the Myriad Kingdoms Domain to find a suitable person and give him the five-colored key. Of course, being able to come to this place also proves that you are indeed outstanding." The Yellow Emperor in yellow light said with a smile.
"Old Four still hasn't come back. I guess the God Martial Spirit has been exhausted. After the few of us are done, we can go with peace of mind." "Dragon Martial Spirit is the most talented martial artist in the world.
They have inherited the essence and blood of the Primordial Divine Dragon. Even the weakest Red Dragon, Blue Dragon and so on, to us, they have already transcended mortality and entered the God Martial Realm. There is no doubt that they have reached the God Martial Realm. As for you, even we can't see through the dragon blood in your body. You are at least a high-class Dragon. You were born in the Myriad Kingdoms Domain and are one of our people. More importantly, your heart is pure and you are decisive in killing. You have the demeanor of a king. You, Long Chen, are the only successor that the five of us have chosen in the past ten thousand years. "
That Golden Emperor said excitedly.
It seemed that the Five Emperors knew a lot about Long Chen.
"Are they treating me like this because they want to groom me into the ruler of the Myriad Kingdoms Domain and protect it?" This was a tangled question in Long Chen's heart.
He wanted to go to the Emperor Domain, so he couldn't do as the Five Emperors had said and inherit their legacies, then rule over the Myriad Kingdoms Domain and protect it like they did.
At the thought of this, Long Chen said bitterly, "Seniors, if I inherit your legacies, I will have to stay in the Myriad Kingdoms Domain and protect them. But I still want to go to the Emperor Domain …"
"It's fine." Golden Emperor and the others looked at each other and chuckled softly.
"Your potential far surpasses ours and your future achievements will be greater than ours. If you stay in the Myriad Kingdoms Domain, your talents will be wasted. So you must go to the Three Great Emperor Domains."
"Seniors, aren't you afraid that I will never return?" Long Chen asked.
"You have the blood of the Myriad Kingdoms Domain on you. Now that there are no disasters here, you can spread your wings and soar into the sky. We only hope that if the Myriad Kingdoms Domain encounters an irresistible disaster, you can come back and support us if you are strong enough."
The Myriad Kingdoms Domain was Long Chen's hometown. Many of Long Chen's acquaintances lived here so he could naturally do this.
After hearing this, Long Chen felt a little touched. Even though these old men had passed away, they still remembered their homeland. Moreover, they were extremely lenient towards Long Chen.
Long Chen's expression was solemn as he said, "I, Long Chen, can promise you that as long as I'm strong, no matter what happens in the Myriad Kingdoms Domain, as long as there's trouble here, I will definitely return."
"Good, good."
The old men stroked their long beards and chuckled. Their smiles were filled with satisfaction from the bottom of their hearts. Long Chen was also very touched.
"We've been observing you for a long time. You're a good child. Although you're a little bloodthirsty, blindly being benevolent and righteous is not the way of a ruler. A true ruler is one who kills decisively. You're worthy of the things we've left behind for you. There's not much time left. The demons outside are still waiting for you. I'll give you all the things I've left behind." Supreme Jin looked at the people beside him and spoke with a smile.
"The demons are already outside?"
Long Chen knew that they would definitely appear. Indeed, it was so. However, he wasn't worried at the moment. If the five emperors weren't worried, what was there for him to worry about?
At this moment, the five emperors were handing over their legacies to Long Chen.
Among them, the gentle and refined Supreme Jin said, "The five of us were actually taught by the same person. He was a few thousand years older than the oldest among us. I'm afraid that his legend has completely disappeared by now. Our Honored Master is the greatest person in the history of the Myriad Kingdoms Domain. We respectfully address him as the Human Emperor."
"That's right. Our Honored Master has passed away for too long. The five of us ended up at the first rank of the Divine Martial realm. Our Honored Master was the only cultivator in the Myriad Kingdoms Domain who had reached the second rank of the Divine Martial realm. The higher the realm, the harder it is to advance. The five of us were trapped for countless years. Even after exhausting all our potential, we were still unable to reach the second rank of the Divine Martial realm. Our Honored Master spent his entire life trying to reach the third rank of the Divine Martial realm. In the end, he died of old age." Supreme Jin sighed as he recounted this period of history.
"We were merely five people who rose to power by stepping on the shoulders of giants. Our Honored Master was the true powerhouse. Even after we reached the Divine Martial realm, the Divine Martial realm's combat skills that we cultivated actually came from our Honored Master. The Divine Martial realm's combat skills are incomparably precious. They are the world's most precious treasures. In the Myriad Kingdoms Domain, there is only one Divine Martial realm combat skill. Back then, the five of us used this combat skill. Now, I'll hand it over to you."
As he spoke, Supreme Jin pointed his finger and an old parchment with an ancient aura appeared before Long Chen's eyes.
This parchment had a very long history. It looked as if it could be torn to shreds with just a simple tear.
"A Divine Martial realm combat skill."
Long Chen's eyes stared excitedly at the parchment. Even though the parchment looked extremely ordinary, Long Chen had only glanced at it briefly before he was frightened by the vast aura within it. This was the aura of someone who stood at the pinnacle of the world, someone who looked down upon all living things with disdain.
"From this parchment, I can tell that the Human Emperor of the past was the strongest cultivator at the pinnacle of the world. He was the one who deserved everyone's respect." Long Chen thought excitedly.
He could imagine that such a supreme figure who looked down upon all the other mountains had appeared in the vast Myriad Kingdoms Domain back then. He was invincible in the world and looked down upon all living things with disdain.
Only an expert like that could possess such a vast, disdainful and domineering combat skill.
"The name of this Divine Martial Realm combat skill is the Art of the Human Emperor. From today onwards, the Art of the Human Emperor belongs to you. You have the right to use it and pass it down to the next generation. Long Chen, take it." Supreme Jin waved his hand and the Art of the Human Emperor flew towards Long Chen.
Long Chen received the parchment containing the Art of the Human Emperor and felt extremely excited. The Art of the Human Emperor was the only Divine Martial Realm combat skill in the Myriad Kingdoms Domain. The Human Emperor and the Five Emperors had used it to slay countless opponents. How could something like this be simple?
A Divine Martial Realm combat skill was completely different from a Royal Martial Realm combat skill.
Even in the Three Great Imperial Regions, most people would not be able to possess a Divine Martial Realm combat skill. However, Long Chen had already obtained one when he had only just broken through to the second layer of the Heaven Martial Realm.
"Thank you very much, seniors. Long Chen will definitely work hard and master this combat skill as soon as possible." Long Chen said excitedly.
"There's no hurry. A Divine Martial Realm combat skill consumes too much True Yuan. Your True Yuan is far from being able to support it. When you reach the fifth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, you should be able to use the basic form of the combat skill." Emperor Huang said with a chuckle.
These four old men were all very amiable. They spoke at a steady pace as if they had experienced many things in the world. In front of them, Long Chen really felt like a junior.
