The end of the Divine Beast Origin had also caused a commotion amongst the Divine Beast Clans. But although Mu Chen's achievements were shocking, it still caused a lot of controversy amongst the Divine Beast Clans of the Great Thousand World.
Although there were many Divine Beast Clans that participated in the Divine Beast Origin, it didn't include all of them. Take the Dragon Clan, which was known as the Overlord amongst the Divine Beast Clans, for example. They did not send out their young experts, and Bai Ming was only from the Ice Phoenix Clan of the Phoenix Clan. Although he had some fame, he clearly couldn't represent the geniuses of the Phoenix Clan that possessed high bloodlines. However, those existences were treated as the future pillars of the Phoenix Clan, so the attraction of the Divine Beast Origin wasn't as strong as Bai Ming and the rest.
Thus, they naturally wouldn't lower themselves to come. Thus, many people felt that the quality of the younger generations that participated in the Divine Beast Origin had dropped, allowing a human like Mu Chen to rise. If he encountered the true geniuses of the various clans, then Mu Chen wouldn't have the slightest bit of prestige to speak of.
But no matter what, those were just words. Everyone knew that if they really wanted to know Mu Chen's standard, then they would naturally know if Mu Chen was too powerful or if Bai Ming and the rest were too weak.
From a certain point of view, the matter in the Divine Beast Origin could only be considered as a trial between the Divine Beast Clans. Therefore, aside from the Divine Beast Clans, this matter did not cause much of a commotion in the Great Thousand World. It was so much so that no one in the Northern Region of the Greatlaw Continent had heard of this matter.
Thus, the Great Heaven Domain was as quiet as usual.
Ever since the Great Hunting War, the Divine Pavilion had disappeared, and Mandala had suggested the establishment of the Northern Region Alliance. The conflicts in the Northern Region had decreased by a lot, and the various peak forces were digesting the inheritance of the Divine Pavilion.
There was also a trace of harmony between them, and they were no longer at odds with each other like in the past.
Under this harmony, the reputation of the Great Heaven Domain had swiftly risen in the Northern Region.
It even showed signs of surpassing the Divine Pavilion.
The experts of the Northern Region weren't stupid. Everyone could see that although the Northern Region Alliance had several giants, there was no doubt that the Great Heaven Domain was stronger.
The leaders of the other top forces.
Facing the Domain Ruler of the Great Heaven Domain, Mandala, he maintained some politeness. After all, Mandala was the only one in the Northern Region that had stepped into the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm.
The power she possessed clearly surpassed all the other leaders of the top forces.
Therefore, although the Great Heaven Domain didn't seem to have any signs of dominating the Northern Region, everyone knew of its potential. Therefore, in just a few months, the Great Heaven Domain's forces had expanded rapidly. Countless experts had come to join them, causing the Great Heaven Domain to be like the sun in the midday sky.
It was so famous that even the peak forces of the other regions in the Greatlaw Continent knew about it. In the Northern Region, there was a Great Heaven Domain that was swiftly rising.
The Northern Region, Great Heaven Domain, Greatlaw Sky
In the depths of the Great Heaven Domain, there was an azure peak that was shrouded in clouds with a petite silhouette seated on the peak.
The clouds in this region seemed to be rolling along with her breathing. Space was constantly distorting around her, causing her silhouette to vaguely appear.
It was as if she wanted to disappear in time.
After an unknown period of time, she abruptly opened her tightly shut eyes. Her golden pupils swept out in a dignified manner, causing even the mountain peak to tremble from the boundless ocean-like Spiritual Energy in the surroundings.
The boundless Spiritual Energy in the surroundings whistled and had turned into a streak of Spiritual Energy that was a few myriad feet long, before she opened her mouth and absorbed it into her body.
After absorbing the boundless Spiritual Energy, her golden pupils seemed to have turned a little brighter, before gradually calming down. She formed seals with her hands and the space behind her suddenly collapsed. A golden pyramid of a few myriad feet appeared in the collapsed space.
The body of the pyramid was covered in ancient runes. Those runes seemed to be formed from stars. Every time they flickered, they would attract a terrifying tide of Spiritual Energy.
Mandala looked at the runes on the surface of the pyramid with a golden lustre surging in her eyes, as if she was calculating something. This time, she did not move for an entire month.
On a certain day after a month, Mandala's figure suddenly trembled and she abruptly raised her head with her golden pupils looking at the pyramid. The stars on the pyramid suddenly trembled before they separated from the pyramid and gathered in the sky. Starlight blossomed, forming into a starry diagram.
Mandala looked at the mysterious starry diagram with a smear of joy on her calm face. She abruptly directed her gaze towards the far east, as if her gaze had pierced through the endless space.
"The Ancient Haven Palace is finally going to appear?"
Just when Mandala suddenly sensed something with the help of the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid, in the far east of the Greatlaw Continent, it was an extremely cold land. The entire region was covered in ice and the coldness was something that even ordinary Sovereign Realm experts couldn't resist. A gale swept between the heavens and earth and if anyone below Fifth Grade Sovereign was caught in it, they would be torn into pieces.
It was also at this moment that the stars in the sky above this desolate land seemed to have brightened. Finally, as the light from the stars shone down, cracks quietly appeared in the starry sky wherever the starlight swept past.
In those cracks, there was a desolate and ancient aura that seemed to have pierced through time and space as it swept out in every direction.
Occasionally, space would distort and one could vaguely see an ancient palace that was shrouded in mist through the cracks in the starry sky. The majesty of it could even make an Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouse have a change in expression.
When the cracks appeared, the rulers of the peak forces and Earth Sovereigns in the Greatlaw Continent had also sensed it. Immediately, numerous shocked gazes pierced through space and looked towards the extreme east of the Greatlaw Continent.
At this moment, even with the composure of those powerhouses, they had all stood up with joy on their faces.
"This aura belongs to the Ancient Haven Palace?!
It's actually going to appear?! "
North of the Great Thousand World
This was a fiery continent that was crimson in colour. Although its size wasn't comparable to one of the supercontinents, the Greatlaw Continent, its fame in the Great Thousand World was comparable to the Greatlaw Continent.
It was even more famous than the Greatlaw Continent.
That's because this continent had another name.
The Endless Fire Territory.
It had a master, and countless experts in the Great Thousand Worlds respectfully called him the Flame Emperor.
One came from the Lower Plane.
But in just a hundred years, he established the Endless Fire Territory and his name resounded throughout the Great Thousand World, dominating a region.
He was also one of the pinnacle powerhouses of the Great Thousand World.
To the experts of the Great Thousand World, he was undoubtedly a legend. Even in this era where the Heavenly Sovereigns gathered, he was still dazzling to the point that everyone was looking at him.
At the center of this continent stood an incomparably majestic city. Above the city, there seemed to be a sea of fire sweeping across, looking incomparably gorgeous.
At this moment, there was a white-haired elder and a man sitting in a quiet stone pavilion at the centre of the city with a chessboard on the stone table.
They were clearly playing chess.
The white-haired elder had a benevolent appearance with wisdom in his eyes. His aged aura couldn't be concealed.
Standing before him was a man donned in black robes. His eyes were as deep as the starry sky with a gentle smile on his face. He had a slender figure with an unfathomable bearing.
At this moment, this extraordinary man was a little worried as he looked at the chessboard before him.
He looked at the chess game in front of him with some worry. It was obvious that he was at a disadvantage. He held the chess piece in his hand and couldn't move it.
After a brief moment of hesitation, he placed the chess piece in his hand down.
Just as the chess piece in his hand landed, flames suddenly surged in his eyes. The moment the chess piece was pressed down, flames gushed out from the chess piece.
"Mhm?"
He raised his head with his brows knitted as he looked into the distance.
"What's the matter?"
The white-haired elder asked in puzzlement.
"The appearance of the Ancient Haven Palace, I just sensed it." The black-robed man smiled.
"The Ancient Heavenly Emperor?" The white-haired elder exclaimed in astonishment.
The black-robed man nodded his head with interest in his eyes. "Haha, it's the Ancient Heavenly Emperor that was known as one of the Nine Emperors in ancient times."
The white-haired elder's face turned grave. The fame of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor was formidable, he was a pinnacle existence even amongst the Heavenly Sovereigns. It was said that the number of Monarchs of the Fiend Clans that fell in the hands of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor couldn't even be counted with two hands, so his fame was unimaginable.
"Such a figure can be considered a hero. If I'm still in ancient times, I would definitely want to befriend him."
The black-robed man smiled as he looked into the depths of space. "There are many mysteries in the Ancient Haven Palace, and I'm afraid that there will definitely be a battle for it. But according to what I know, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor fell in the hands of a Monarch in the final battle, and that Monarch disappeared thereafter."
"Monarch?"
The white-haired elder's face changed. It was said that only the most outstanding Monarchs of the Fiend Clans could be known as a Monarch.
The black-robed man gently nodded his head and lightly smiled. "Back then, this Senior protected the Great Thousand World, and my descendants have also inherited his shadow. Since that's the case, I have to protect his safety."
Although his words were soft, there was a domineering aura in them. In this world, there weren't many that could protect the safety of a Heavenly Sovereign.
"You're saying …" The white-haired elder's face turned grave.
The black-robed man shook his head. "Let's hope that I'm overthinking."
As he spoke, he briefly pondered before looking outside the stone pavilion and saw a peerless beauty in an azure dress. She was elegant and charming to the point that even time seemed to freeze.
"Xun 'er, get that lass, Xiao Xiao, over. Didn't she want to go to the Greatlaw Continent? Let her go this time."
Hearing those words, the exceptionally beautiful woman also lightly smiled. Her smile was devastatingly beautiful. Then, she lightly nodded her head.
After giving these instructions, the black-robed man turned around and said to the white-haired old man with a smile, "Teacher, shall we start again?"
The white-haired elder was stunned before he lowered his head and saw that the chess pieces on the chessboard had already been incinerated into ashes without him knowing. The entire chessboard had been destroyed and he shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
It has been so many years, but this fellow still likes to act shamelessly. If others saw this side of him, they would probably feel disbelief.
That's because the person before him was the true owner of the Endless Fire Territory.
Yan Emperor, Xiao Yan.
