"It's indeed Fire King, no, it's Fire Emperor!"
The Dragon King sighed and said, "For hundreds of years, I ignored the affairs of the world and hid my tracks, all so that I could devote myself wholeheartedly to cultivation and improve my combat power. Unfortunately, in the end, it was all for naught."
"To think that Senior Fire Emperor is already dead." Ye Chen had always been curious about the Monarch protecting Eternal Sky Sect. Today, he saw him, but it was just a dead man. If this news were to spread out, Eternal Sky Sect would definitely be on the verge of collapse and might be destroyed in an instant. After all, the only reason Eternal Sky Sect could survive was because of Fire Emperor's deterrence to the outside world.
"Senior Dragon King, what level has Senior Fire Emperor reached?"
Ye Chen asked.
The Dragon King said, "Back then, when I met him, he was already the strongest person under Titled Monarchs. With his talent and perception that far surpassed mine, ordinary Titled Monarchs would not be his opponent. He is already very close to being able to leave his mark on the Emperor Scar Stele. Moreover, I heard that in order to preserve the Eternal Sky Sect, the Fire Emperor had once revealed a trump card. It was this trump card that made the entire Blood Sky Continent not dare to touch the Eternal Sky Sect. Not even Titled Monarchs."
"Revealing a supreme move to intimidate the entire Blood Sky Continent?"
Right, Senior Battle King had once met an old man who could condense a sun-like fireball. The fireball contained the profound of fire, water, and earth. Moreover, the three profound were already at perfection. Even if they were not completely fused, it was still very terrifying and could easily destroy a large star.
Could that old man be Fire Emperor?
Ye Chen had some ideas.
"Come, let's go in. Fire Emperor should have left some information." Dragon King stepped into the purple light ball, and Ye Chen followed behind.
The purple light ball was like nothing, and the two walked in without any obstruction.
In their line of sight, Fire Emperor's head was lowered, his face was pale, and his eyes were closed. There was not a trace of vitality in his body. However, the passage of time did not leave any marks on his body. His flesh was still full, without any signs of loosening. The aura he emitted even made it hard for Ye Chen to breathe.
"The energy has not dissipated, and his body still contains an extremely powerful might. Do not resist or counterattack, or his body will explode, destroying anyone who approaches."
Dragon King reminded Ye Chen.
"Yes."
Ye Chen nodded, not daring to do anything inappropriate.
In front of the Fire Emperor were three jade slips.
The Dragon King picked up the first jade slip and said softly, "It's a voice-recording jade slip."
As he poured his true essence into it, a vigorous and slightly aged voice sounded out.
Do the heavens really want to destroy my Elysium and let those otherworldly people do whatever they want? When will my Elysium truly belong to us, free from the otherworldly oppression, and free to come and go as we please? Unfortunately, I can't wait for that day. Fated one, I have nothing good to give you. In the storage ring, there are many supreme grade materials and millions of supreme grade spirit stones. The two jade slips contain my two top grade profound martial skills, 'Sunlight Sky' and 'Merciless Water and Fire'. Comprehend them well! I really hope that you can break through the otherworldly oppression and become the first person in my Elysium since ancient times. One day, you can avenge the blood feud of my Elysium. Perhaps this is an extravagant hope, but hope is better than despair. That's all. I'm tired. "
The voice gradually weakened.
Ye Chen and the Dragon King remained silent for a long time.
The Fire Emperor's voice was filled with unwillingness, both for himself and for the common people of Elysium. This kind of deep unwillingness made his tone extremely infectious. Ye Chen and the Dragon King felt as if they were there, stifling a mouthful of anger in their hearts.
"Six star battle strength … Hehe, even six star battle strength can't break through. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape either. But, my time is up, and I have no choice but to go!"
The Dragon King said in a low voice.
Ye Chen asked again, "Senior Dragon King, what star battle strength do you have?" From the Fire Emperor's words, it wasn't hard for Ye Chen to guess that the so-called star battle strength was used to evaluate the strength of Life and Death Kings.
"I have five star battle strength. At present, apart from a few hidden old monsters, the highest is five star battle strength, such as Xu King, Air Emperor, and me. Of course, five star battle strength also varies. Xu King and the rest have already reached the high level of five star battle strength, and I'm a bit lacking. Little Yan girl has also almost reached this level."
"Xu King and Air Emperor have five star battle strength?"
Ye Chen's brows creased. In that case, low level Kings should have one star battle strength, mid level Kings should have two star battle strength, high level Kings should have three star battle strength, peak Kings should have four star battle strength, and titled Emperors should have five star battle strength. Senior Dragon King was the strongest among peak Kings, having broken through four star battle strength and reached five star battle strength. Senior Xu Anhou was also the same.
"If Senior Yuan Emperor didn't die, he should be stronger than Senior Fire Emperor, at least Seven Star battle strength!" Ye Chen guessed inwardly.
Dragon King's next words confirmed Ye Chen's conjecture.
"To leave a mark on the Emperor Scar Stele, Seven Star battle strength is the bottom line. However, this kind of person hasn't appeared in several tens of thousands of years. Even six star battle strength is rare. I've lived for more than a thousand years, and as far as I know, there are only two or three six star battle strength. Fire Emperor is one, and Sky Martial Region's Undying Old Ancestor is another. As for the third, I'm not too sure."
"However, Elysium cannot be without titled Monarchs. Therefore, the standard for titled Monarchs has dropped to five star battle strength. Because I rarely reveal my true strength, I haven't been titled Monarch. Of course, this is meaningless to me."
Dragon King continued to explain.
"Senior Dragon King, Senior Fire Emperor said to charge through the path of death?" Ye Chen couldn't help but be curious.
Nodding, Dragon King said, "Yes."
"Since ancient times, have many people tried to charge through this path of death?"
Seeing Ye Chen asking so many questions, Dragon King knew that if he didn't reveal a bit, it would only make Ye Chen have more distracting thoughts. "To charge through the path of death, one has to have at least five star battle strength. However, this was the ancient era. After that, the path of death became a true path of death. You should know some of the records of the Four Extreme Great Emperor. He once charged through the path of death. Unfortunately, he failed and even suffered from irrecoverable injuries."
"Even the Four Extreme Great Emperor failed?"
Ye Chen couldn't help sucking in a deep breath.
The Four Extreme Great Emperor was a titled Monarch who left his mark on the Emperor Scar Stele. His battle strength was at least at the Seven Star rank. If even he failed, how could the Dragon King succeed?
"Don't worry, the path of death has fluctuations. Moreover, if one's luck is extremely good, even five star battle strength can pass through. Over a thousand years ago, a titled Monarch with five star battle strength passed through the path of death."
"Of course, it's also normal if one fails. In any case, even if I don't try, I'll still die. There's no hope, so I might as well try my luck."
Ye Chen faintly nodded. He knew that the Dragon King had already made up his mind. If he didn't attempt it now, his chances would grow smaller and smaller. Before death, one's body would be in a very poor state. Although the Dragon King was a Life and Death King, and his condition couldn't be that bad, he would still be affected. Only in the final radiance of the setting sun would he be able to erupt with his peak battle strength. Unfortunately, that would be the time of his death.
"I'll leave Fire Emperor's storage ring and top grade profound martial skills for you. Although you cultivate sword dao and research sword moves, you can use Fire Emperor's profound martial skills to perfect your own sword arts. If your sword arts can reach Fire Emperor's level, you'll have peak five star battle strength at the very least."
The Dragon King waved his hand, and the storage ring on Fire Emperor's finger fell off, along with the two jade strips on the ground, into Ye Chen's hand.
Ye Chen didn't decline. He knew that these things were useless to the Dragon King.
"In a moment, I'll rearrange this place and conceal the aura of this place. Remember, don't tell anyone about Fire Emperor's death, not even Eternal Sky Sect's people. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Before you reach Life and Death Realm, you can only be careful."
"Ye Chen understands."
Ye Chen naturally wouldn't reveal the news of Fire Emperor's death.
The two walked out of the purple light sphere. The Dragon King formed a seal with both hands, and an astonishing earthen yellow radiance covered the purple light sphere. Soon, the purple light sphere was once again covered by the earthen sphere. Not a single trace of aura leaked out. Even when Ye Chen used his soul power to probe, he couldn't find anything inside. His soul power directly passed through.
"Go, let's go."
After arranging everything, the Dragon King grabbed Ye Chen and teleported to the secret chamber where Ye Chen was previously staying.
Letting out a breath, the Dragon King instructed one last time, "Once the news of my death spreads, Dragon God Celestial Palace will be in grave danger. Little girl Yan's strength is weak, and she won't be able to protect Dragon God Celestial Palace. However, I've already arranged the true elites of Dragon God Celestial Palace into a secret realm. Little girl Xu Jing is also there. When you hear the news of Dragon God Celestial Palace's destruction, don't be impulsive. As long as you're alive, everything can be restarted.
Ye Chen didn't speak. He could only feel his blood boiling and burning.
"This is the dragon pearl for finding secret realms. It's better than yours. As for how to enter secret realms, there are detailed records inside. Spend some time, and you should be able to learn it."
The Dragon King took out a golden dragon pearl from his storage ring and handed it over to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen could sense the aura of a giant dragon contained within the golden dragon ball, which was very similar to the aura emitted by Xu Jing. The moment he held the golden dragon ball in his hand, he seemed to have a connection with some place. However, this connection was very vague, and it was hard for him to find it with his current cultivation.
"I'm leaving. I'll leave everything to you."
The Dragon King raised his head, his gaze piercing through the secret chamber and landing on the boundless starry sky.
"Senior Dragon King, take care."
Ye Chen cupped his fists and bowed.
Buzz!
The next moment, the Dragon King's body disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the boundless starry sky. A white light flickered as the Dragon King flew toward the depths of the starry sky.
Raising his head and straightening his body, Ye Chen took a few deep breaths.
"My strength is still too weak. Senior Dragon King doesn't even tell me some secrets, fearing that I'll take risks and affect my comprehension of life dao."
