Ye Xuan encountered the lingering destructive power of an unknown entity. Following its trail, he prepared for a confrontation, using the Old Ghost Liu Tree branch as a precaution. The chase led them to the Chaos Thunder Sea, where the entity, a bizarre creature made of corrosive liquid, clashed with Ye Xuan's Immortal Profound Power. Ye Xuan attacked with the Old Ghost Liu Tree branch, and a Chaos Divine Beast evolved from the thunder engulfed the creature. However, the entity surprisingly survived, seemingly empowered, and vanished after leaving the thunder sea's domain, leaving Ye Xuan intrigued.

Ye Xuan more or less had a rough idea of what that strange creature was.

It was related to this boundless Chaos, and at the same time had a certain connection to the secrets of the Emperor Road.

This should not be an outsider creature, but one that had always existed within Chaos.

Only, most likely it had been born later.

Otherwise it would have been impossible for Ye Xuan to have never seen it before.

After all, in this stretch of Chaos, Ye Xuan had long since explored almost everything.

Especially in this region ahead, Ye Xuan had never seen any living beings.

This eerie creature definitely did not just pop out of nowhere.

Especially after seeing that the eerie creature could actually withstand the Chaos Divine Thunder head-on, Ye Xuan was even more certain of the thought in his heart.

He just didn’t know what the goal of this eerie creature was.

It was moving along the footprints Ye Xuan had left back then, wanting to go deeper, still scheming after something.

Unknown.

Ye Xuan looked at the Immortal Profound Power that had calmed down, and continued on his way.

After passing through the Chaos Thunder Sea, Ye Xuan once again saw the vast Chaos Heavenly Tribulation.

The sight was simply world-annihilating!

Terror to the extreme.

And that line of footprints was left within this Chaos Heavenly Tribulation.

Ye Xuan did not rush forward, but waited for the gap created when the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation fell, then slipped through like a swimming fish.

In the end, he once again saw an ancient Chaos City.

As he approached, that Chaos City turned into mist, as if it did not exist.

But after following the footprints through the Chaos City and looking back, he found that Chaos City still stood there.

As if immortal through the ages.

It was truly a strange place.

And this was precisely the reason Ye Xuan sought to probe the secrets of this place.

Because within it, he had discovered many wondrous scenes.

Any one of these wonders, if placed in the outside world, would be an extremely terrifying Forbidden Land.

Yet here in this vast Chaos, they seemed very normal.

On the road, Ye Xuan’s heart suddenly stirred, and he opened the Divine Gate.

The next moment.

Above Ye Xuan’s head, the Divine Gate opened.

The Tree God, Chaos Ghost Fang, and the other Overlords of the Spirit of the Void God Realm from the Thirteen Layers of Heaven all descended one after another.

There was the Kui Yuan, whose form resembled a Xuanwu.

There was the Huang Zheng, shaped like a Red Leopard, with five tails and a single horn.

There was the Huodou, one of the Heavenly Dogs.

There was the Ba Snake with black back and green head...

In an instant, Chaos rolled and surged.

"This place is..."

When he sensed everything around them, Huang Zheng shook its five tails, emitting a crisp, ringing sound like clashing metal.

In those brutal eyes of its, there actually appeared a trace of shock at this moment.

Not only Huang Zheng.

The Kui Yuan, Huodou, Ba Snake and the other Overlords of the Void Divine Realm from the Thirteen Layers of Heaven were all utterly astonished.

"Such a familiar aura, and yet clearly different!"

The Tree God spoke softly, with a hint of curiosity in his tone: "Emperor Ye, what is this place?"

Ye Xuan took in the expressions of all the Overlords of the Void Divine Realm, and said with a slight smile, "This place is the Chaos at the end of the Emperor Road. I wonder if it makes you recall anything?"

Back then, why had Ye Xuan sought out the Tree God and Chaos Ghost Fang?

Because within them too, the secrets of that War were hidden.

After walking the long Emperor Road, Ye Xuan had already beheld the War of the End, and had seen how terrifying that battle was.

But as for the powers left behind by that War, Ye Xuan did not fully understand them.

Boom!

Chaos Ghost Fang swam through the boundless Chaos, truly like a returning dragon to the sea.

The annihilating power of this vast Chaos not only could not harm Chaos Ghost Fang, it instead granted him even greater strength.

"This place is extremely familiar!"

Chaos Ghost Fang spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, bestial, bringing with it an immense sense of oppression.

"It’s very much like when the Void Divine Realm first appeared back then!"

Huang Zheng couldn’t help but speak as well.

Listening to the chatter of these Overlords of the Void Divine Realm, Ye Xuan pondered silently.

These fellows had clearly sensed something.

They just couldn’t confirm it.

"No rush. Think slowly."

Ye Xuan said in a calm voice.

As he spoke, Ye Xuan did not stop, but continued forward along the footprints, while letting the Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Power flow down to deepen the prints.

Meanwhile Chaos Ghost Fang, the Tree God, Huang Zheng, Huodou and the other fourteen top giants of the Void Divine Realm were recalling this place.

As they walked, Chaos Ghost Fang twisted his ferocious dragon head, looking toward a certain part of the Chaos, and from those savagely violent eyes shot out two divine beams.

Rumble!

In an instant, that patch of Chaos churned.

But there was nothing there.

Seeing Chaos Ghost Fang strike suddenly, the Tree God said softly, "Something there?"

Chaos Ghost Fang kept his gaze fixed on that spot, and said in a low voice, "There’s someone there."

Ye Xuan also halted his steps, and followed Chaos Ghost Fang’s gaze, looking toward a certain part of the Chaos.

But he still saw nothing.

Huang Zheng, Huodou and the others watched for a while, and were all somewhat at a loss.

They did not sense the existence of any living being.

But they were also very clear that Chaos Ghost Fang would never act for no reason.

There was definitely something wrong there!

Only, as time passed, no situation manifested.

Yet Chaos Ghost Fang snorted two streams of Dragon Energy from his nose, and said coldly, "It’s coming."

Sure enough.

As Chaos Ghost Fang’s words fell, a path slowly parted in that patch of Chaos.

In the next instant, footsteps sounded slowly.

Exactly like the eerie creature Ye Xuan had encountered before!

But this time.

There was a clear difference.

As the footsteps sounded, they were accompanied by ripples of Chaos spreading outward.

Clearly visible.

That line of footprints!

One deep, one shallow!

Heavier than before!

"This is..."

This time, the giants of the Void Divine Realm such as Huang Zheng also perceived this eerie existence, and all revealed a grave look.

There really was an anomalous presence!

Boom!

At this moment, Chaos Ghost Fang opened his bloody maw, and a breath of Chaos Dragon Breath suddenly spewed forth.

In an instant it surged to drown that patch of ripples!

And even so, the footsteps still did not stop, stepping toward Ye Xuan one step at a time.

It made one’s skin crawl!

Crack crack crack crack———

Seeing this, the Tree God’s already immense branches rapidly swelled.

Like an endless Divine Wall, they blocked between Ye Xuan and that eerie creature.

Yet all of this still did not stop the sound of those footsteps.

And they were getting closer and closer to Ye Xuan!

"Emperor Ye!"

Seeing this, the giants such as Huang Zheng hurriedly warned.

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, saying not a word.

Swish!

The next instant, the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd suddenly opened, and Guo Hezu turned into a black Divine Rainbow, piercing through the space before Ye Xuan.

At that moment.

The footsteps stopped.

Guo Hezu returned to Ye Xuan’s hand.

Chi chi chi———

The eerie creature within the invisible void once again revealed itself at this moment.

Upon its body was layer upon layer of flowing black corrosive liquid, exuding a nauseating stench.

"Hoo———"

The eerie creature seemed to want to open its mouth and speak, but that black corrosive liquid swiftly wrapped around it again, making it completely unable to utter a word.

Hum———

Guo Hezu let out a Sword chant.

Ye Xuan stretched out his hand and gripped Guo Hezu.

In that instant, Ye Xuan’s entire aura suddenly changed!
