Chapter 109: The Ancient Emperor Appears, the Secret of Years Ago, the Origin of Power
"Interesting, interesting, I didn't expect you to have mastered the Soul Eye. It seems I underestimated you."
Emperor You showed a rare look of surprise.
"In this case, I should be more serious."
Chen Fan's eyelids in the corner jumped, and he became even more fearful. He had almost been defeated by his tentative attack before. Of course, this was due to his carelessness and the special means he used, but it was also enough to prove his strong strength.
It can be said that Youhuang is the second most powerful person in the same realm that Chen Fan has seen. The first is the old man on the fifth level, whose mystery of time is simply impossible to decipher.
If he had not been restricted by the Trial Tower and had not had any intention of stopping Chen Fan, it would be hard to say whether he could stand here.
"咒~"
The Ghost Emperor shouted softly, and as the shout ended, Chen Fan could clearly feel an invisible wave coming along the space.
But he didn't say that there was nothing he could do, but it was almost the same, and he could only let it go.
When it comes to fighting, Chen Fan is very good at it, but when it comes to competing in soul power, it would be too difficult for him.
But it’s not that he is not good at it, but in the Spirit Sea Realm, there is no concept of being good at or not good at soul power.
The Ghost Emperor is a complete outlier. Perhaps this is also the reason why he can become the second-generation master of the Ancient Palace. After all, at that time, the Ancient Palace was still a first-class force.
In fact, Chen Fan is already very strong. He has almost reached the limit in the same realm. Even in ancient times, he was among the top people.
Unfortunately, the opponents he encountered were all very special freaks. Their combat power might not be much different from his, but they all had a very unique advantage.
Such as Zi-O's time secret, Phantom Emperor's soul attack, etc.
hum~
Chen Fan felt a sharp pain in his head, and the consciousness that had just been condensed was dispersed again, but fortunately, his soul power was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he had survived five thunder tribulations, so his soul power was even more amazing.
Although it was somewhat unbearable, the current intensity was not enough to make Chen Fan admit defeat.
But as the Ghost Emperor continued to increase his strength, the uncontrollable tingling sensation from the soul became more and more intense, and Chen Fan's consciousness became increasingly blurred.
The Soul Eye that he wanted to forcefully activate was unable to be used due to the pain.
"Are you going to fail?"
In a trance, Chen Fan thought.
After an unknown amount of time, just when Chen Fan felt that his soul was about to shatter and his consciousness was returning to silence, the Ghost Emperor stopped.
Chen Fan finally had a chance to catch his breath. After a long while, he barely regained some consciousness.
"Why don't you just keep going?"
Covering his still aching head, Chen Fan asked.
"You are not the first person I have ever met who has realized the Soul Eye, but among all the people I have ever met, your soul power is enough to rank second."
Emperor You said seriously.
"Who is the first one?"
"it's me."
"What does this have to do with you stopping?"
The Ghost Emperor was silent for a while: "One hundred moves have passed, you have passed."
Then, as if realizing something, he added, "I didn't hold back. Your soul is indeed very powerful, and it is extremely rare even in the starry sky. If we were in the same era, we might be good opponents."
Chen Fan remained silent, but the Ghost Emperor didn't care, and continued: "According to tradition, I should give you a chance, but I have always been frugal, and my original body died in the battle 100,000 years ago, so there is nothing good.
But tradition cannot be changed... Well, in that case, I will give you something."
A white light flashed and appeared in Chen Fan's palm. He looked down and saw that it was a tower-shaped token that looked very ordinary.
But when Chen Fan raised his head and wanted to ask what it was, he found that the figure of Youhuang had disappeared, leaving only a sentence in the air.
"This is the secret order of my ancient palace. If one day you can break out of your true spirit and step into the starry sky, you can hold this item and go to the ancient palace outside the stars...if they still exist."
Chen Fan was silent for a long time, then put away the token. He deduced some information from the Ghost Emperor.
For example, Youhuang, as the second generation master of the ancient palace, died in the battle one hundred thousand years ago and lived for a long time.
In addition, the ancient palace has not been completely destroyed, and it is suspected that there is still inheritance outside the star. This is very normal. After all, it is a force that has been passed down for more than hundreds of thousands of years. It is impossible for it to really depend on life and death in a battle.
Shaking his head, Chen Fan stopped thinking about these things and stepped into the light gate that appeared in front of him after the Ghost Emperor dissipated.
The seventh floor is very small, really very small, much smaller than the sixth floor. If the sixth floor used some space means to expand the space, the seventh floor is only as small as the trial tower looks from the outside.
Most importantly, there is no one on the seventh floor!
He could not sense any breath of life except Chen Fan himself.
In the very center, there is a platform, but there is nothing on it, which makes people confused.
Just as Chen Fan was thinking about what was going on on this level, a light suddenly burst out from the platform. Countless light spots poured out from the inside of the platform and gathered into a beam of light.
Even if it was just light and shadow, it gave Chen Fan a sense of dominance over the world. His back was not very tall, but he felt like he was looking up at the heavens.
Super strong!
Chen Fan had only this thought in his mind, that this super strong man did not refer to this era, but to the ancient times. This light and shadow was definitely a super strong man even in the ancient times.
Because... "Yin", as light and shadow appeared, the dragon of luck entrenched in the soul sea began to move around constantly, seeming very scared.
Being able to make the dragon of destiny, which represents the will of heaven and earth, feel fear, how could the king of the life and death realm in today's era be able to challenge him?
"My dear, you are finally here."
The light and shadow spoke, his voice was deep and majestic.
"Junior Chen Fan has met you, senior, but I don't know your name."
Chen Fan quickly saluted.
“Gu Baitian, you may not be familiar with this name, but in the True Spirit World, everyone calls me the Ancient Emperor.”
"You are the Ancient Emperor!"
Chen Fan was shocked. He had guessed that perhaps this senior was a super powerful person who walked out of the ancient palace. At his peak, he might even be ranked as the Supreme. After all, even the Ghost Emperor of the sixth level was the emperor of the eighth level of the Life and Death Realm.
But I never thought that this person was actually the ancient emperor, the one who was still a legendary figure after hundreds of thousands of years.
"It seems that this emperor will have a great reputation in the future generations."
The ancient emperor turned around and was a seemingly ordinary man, except for his pair of extremely deep eyes. If we say that the eyes of the Ghost Emperor gave Chen Fan a deep and powerful feeling.
Then the ancient emperor's eyes gave him a feeling of mystery and unfathomable.
"The senior is the first emperor-level king to leave a mark on the emperor-level monument. He has promoted the martial arts system and is also the founder of the ancient palace. Naturally, he has a great reputation."
Chen Fan complimented. No, it couldn’t be said to be a compliment, because it was indeed true. Before the rise of the Ancient Emperor, the True Spirit World was the era of ancient monsters.
In that era, the human race was in decline, and there were not even a few kings in the realm of life and death. It was not until the ancient emperor was born, swept across the world, and suppressed countless ancient and powerful monsters that the human race was able to rise.
"Ah."
The ancient emperor chuckled and said nothing. "Senior, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it or not."
Chen Fan hesitated slightly.
"explain."
"I wonder where the senior went, and whether he encountered any disaster. Why is there no record of his whereabouts in later generations, and why there was no trace of him in the war a hundred thousand years ago?"
Chen Fan really couldn't contain his curiosity. In the original novel he had read in his previous life, this ancient number one man in the True Spirit World rarely appeared, or even never appeared. It was only after Ye Chen became the Supreme that he heard about this man from a certain Star Human Supreme.
"You know a lot, my dear."
The ancient emperor was also quite surprised. He was able to ask these questions. First, he had to know the lifespan of the Supreme Being, secondly, he had to know something about the war that took place a hundred thousand years ago, and finally, he had to know some information about him.
"I have seen your treasure before, and it was the spirit of the treasure inside that told me this."
Chen Fan sold the spirit of the ancient pagoda without hesitation. After all, he couldn't say that he knew the information because he had read the original novel.
"Oh, which treasure is it?"
The ancient emperor suddenly became interested. Although he had not been out in these years, he could feel the changes in the outside world.
Any treasures that are higher than the best level cannot appear in the world, and there are not many treasures left in the outside world. It is really a great fate for Chen Fan to encounter it.
“It calls itself Guta.”
"It turned out to be that little guy."
The ancient emperor understood.
“But it is true that treasures that can give birth to weapon spirits are extremely rare, even in my hands back then. This is the only one that is relatively easy to come across.”
“My dear, to be honest, I don’t know where I went that year, because what you see now is just an illusion I left behind before I left.
However, my strength back then was extremely strong even among the Supremes. There were only a few in the starry sky who could defeat me. The only ones who could kill me were the extremely rare and dangerous secret realms in the universe. "
The ancient emperor shook his head and fell into deep thought.
But Chen Fan raised a question at the right time.
"Senior Ancient Emperor, since you are so powerful, why do you want to leave the True Spirit World? And you know that the True Spirit World is now invaded by alien races in the starry sky, and its status has been reduced, and the connection with the universe and the starry sky is also blocked."
The ancient emperor fell into a brief silence, and only spoke after a long while.
“My departure was related to the True God. Back then, I was in charge of the True Spirit World. Later, I got news about the True God who created the True Spirit World from a mysterious place. In order to make a breakthrough, I went there to find him. After that, I never heard from him again.
As for what happened to you later, I can tell you that I was indeed unaware of it before I left.
Even I have been curious about what happened among the human race in the starry sky and why no one supported the True Spirit World.
But I have said that this is just an illusion and has no fighting ability, so even if I know that the True Spirit World is being invaded by foreign races, I can do nothing about it. "
Having said that, Chen Fan could also hear the deep helplessness in the ancient emperor's words.
The super supreme who roamed the starry sky witnessed the invasion of his hometown world with his own eyes, but could only watch from the sidelines, powerless to do anything. What a painful thing it was.
"Thank you, Senior Ancient Emperor. I have finished my questions."
Chen Fan bowed again.
The ancient emperor nodded slightly: "Now that you have finished asking, let's get started."
"?"
Chen Fan was a little puzzled. Didn't the ancient emperor say that he didn't have the ability to fight now? Why did he look like he was ready to fight now?
"It's not a battle, it's for you to accept the inheritance."
Seeing Chen Fan's expression, the ancient emperor explained, then made a grasping gesture towards Chen Fan.
The next moment, a miniature golden dragon appeared in the palm of the ancient emperor.
"You can come here, probably because of the guidance of this thing."
The ancient emperor said.
"Yes."
Chen Fan nodded. Although it couldn’t be said to be all the reason, a large part of it was indeed due to the Dragon of Luck.
Chen Fan was not too surprised at the method used by the Ancient Emperor to capture the Dragon of Luck. Isn't it normal for a super supreme being to have such a method?
"That's normal. After all, there is a source of the true spirit world here. This kind of thing has a great attraction to things that originate from the laws of heaven and earth."
"The origin of the true spirit world?!"
Chen Fan took a deep breath. Although he had no idea what this thing was, the name alone suggested it was something unusual.
“The True Spirit World was created by God. When the True God created the True Spirit World, he divided the origin into three parts.
One copy was kept by this emperor after he became the Supreme, one copy was kept by the Abandoned Emperor after he became the Supreme, and the last one was lost outside and has undergone great changes.
And this is also one of the fundamental reasons why the ancient palace was destroyed. "
As the ancient emperor explained, Chen Fan did not interrupt and just listened quietly.
“The origin of the True Spirit World is not that important. It cannot directly improve a warrior’s cultivation like other natural treasures. Unrecognized warriors cannot even see or touch it.
But it is extremely important to the entire true spirit world, and on some levels, its importance surpasses that of the Supreme.
Once the origin falls into the hands of foreigners, it will directly affect the status of the true spirit world through some special processing methods.
The status of the True Spirit World has declined now because the origin kept by Emperor Qi Tian fell into the hands of the demons 100,000 years ago..."
The ancient emperor explained a lot, and Chen Fan also understood a lot.
Through the ancient emperor's words, Chen Fan also got a glimpse of the great war that took place a hundred thousand years ago.
"Then Senior Ancient Emperor, since you said that the origin of the True Spirit World is invisible and intangible to ordinary people, why do you say it is my opportunity?"
Chen Fan was puzzled, and then he guessed.
"Could it be that the Dragon of Luck can influence the judgment of the origin of the True Spirit World?"
“No, having a strong destiny can indeed gain the favor of the will of heaven and earth, but it is useless to the origin. As for why it is said to be your opportunity, this emperor is not very clear.”
The ancient emperor shook his head in rebuttal.
“I only know that this comes from the origin and is the instruction of the true God. Those who can reach this seventh level are destined to be here.
And you are the first person to reach the seventh floor since ancient times."
Chen Fan fell silent. He didn't know why there was such an instruction, and what was special about him, whether it was his identity as a time traveler, or something else...
