Chapter 522: Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago

After stepping onto the Origin Ancient Road, Ye Wuque did not rush forward.

He knows well that in this ancient Trial Ground, which gathers elite beings from Zhutian Wanjie, rashness often means an early elimination.

He spent several days, his Divine Sense like a net, his steps deliberate, cautiously exploring this vast and unfamiliar initial Star Domain.

After a round of probing, a preliminary outline formed in his mind.

Although this Star Domain is suffused with the desolation and high-level energy unique to the Origin Ancient Road, its internal composition and operating rules are essentially no different from the external Nine Heavens Ten Earths.

The stars rotate, continents rise and fall, and likewise there are living beings reproducing and traces of civilization.

He even sensed the presence of some rather powerful native forces, entrenched deep within the Star Domain, whose depth may not be inferior to some formidable external forces.

Occasionally, a fleeting glimpse reveals a young figure, dignified and radiant, riding a flash of divine light—this is a talented Heavenly Pride of this land, who grew up on terrain shaped by the Origin Ancient Road's rules.

"It seems this Origin Ancient Road is not merely a simple passage or hidden realm; it is more like a… vast composite world wrapped in special rules, threading through countless spacetimes."

Ye Wuque stood atop a barren meteoric stone, gazing at the Star River, and his mind enlightened.

Combining what he saw and heard with the subtle Divine Sense, he roughly clarified the shape of the Origin Ancient Road.

It is a Chaos Star River of such grandeur beyond imagination, composed of countless Star Domains, ancient realms, and mysterious zones, linked like pearls.

This Star River surges forward, roughly divided into a front segment, a middle segment, and a legendary rear segment that merges into an endless sea of mystery and ultimate creation.

At this moment, he is in the initial front segment of this Chaos Star River, which is also the starting point for the vast majority of foreign Heavenly Prides.

Having clarified the direction, Ye Wuque no longer lingered.

His form turned into an elusive streak of light, advancing toward the middle segment where the Star River's energy flow is more massive and the laws more manifest.

Meanwhile, his powerful Divine Sense continuously maintained heightened perception of the surrounding world, seeking any opportunities and creations that could benefit him.

He saw his current situation as clearly as fire.

In cultivation, his foundation is solidly at the Third Realm of Tongtian Eighteen Realms, exceedingly firm.

In terms of combat power, the former Border Wasteland battle, where he slew the Nine Immortals, did not reveal all his cards; he is like a deep pool, its depth unfathomable.

However, whether advancing the Undying Indestructible Divine King Art to deeper levels, or further refining and elevating the three Avatar aspects of One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, both demand massive, high-quality creation and resources.

This Origin Ancient Road is fraught with danger, yet opportunities abound everywhere.

During his advance, he sensed several spots of abnormal energy fluctuations—some were ruined herb gardens suffused with ancient medicinal fragrance, others were sword tomb ruins where fierce sword qi pierced the sky.

He struck several times, and with his superb cultivation and keen sight, obtained some rare spirit herbs, mineral ores, and broken ancient artifacts, but most were merely a drop in the bucket, far from satisfying the advancement needs of his two supreme inheritances.

"In the front segment, after countless years of exploration, the obvious opportunities have likely been stripped clean, perhaps already claimed. The true treasures and trials may be more concentrated in the unknown perilous lands, and… the middle and even rear segments where competition is fiercer and opportunities greater."

Ye Wuque was not discouraged; with a calm mind, he walked steadily along the Origin Ancient Road's Star River.

Time passed as he traversed the monotonous yet vigilant Star Domain.

Months passed in the blink of a finger.

On this day, when Ye Wuque felt the surrounding Star River's energy becoming increasingly vigorous and the Law of Space subtly more complex, he knew he had approached the terminal area of the Origin Ancient Road's front segment.

At that moment, a sudden message, like a meteor from the heavens, struck this relatively tranquil Star Domain, stirring up a massive upheaval!

The source of the news came from a highly prosperous and powerful Star Domain at the end of the front segment… the Emperor Beast Great Star Region.

The core of the news pointed to a peerless opportunity location called Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago!

It is said that the Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago is an ancient, legendary forbidden secret place within the Emperor Beast Great Star Region and the front segment of the Origin Ancient Road.

Only once every long epoch does it manifest; within it may lie rare Honghuang aberrants, divine beast true blood, and perhaps astonishing creations linked to the ancient Beast Path and the Primordial source of life, even… legend says a Ten Fierce Emperor Beasts‑level world‑shaking inheritance slumbers there!

The news, like a storm, instantly swept across many Star Domains at the front's end, attracting countless Heavenly Prides lingering there, as well as powerful native talents of the Emperor Beast Great Star Region, all turning their gaze toward the core of the Star Domain.

Naturally, Ye Wuque also heard the bustling rumors.

His eyes flickered; the divine beast true blood and primordial life creation described of the Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago could be one of the top resources he urgently needs for cultivating the Undying Indestructible Divine King Art, and that possible ancient inheritance was equally enticing.

"Emperor Beast Great Star Region… Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago…"

He whispered a line, altered his step, no longer heading straight to the middle, but following the most intense direction of the spreading news, moving toward the so‑called core of the Emperor Beast Great Star Region.

As he approached, the flowing lights across the starry sky grew noticeably dense, various fierce auras interweaving and colliding—some solitary, some in hordes—each bearing a sense of urgency and heat, with a clear target.

Finally, after passing a dazzling star gate guarded by several Ancient Stars of life, an indescribable vast Star Domain unfolded before Ye Wuque's eyes.

The stars here were exceptionally massive, and the celestial energy blended with a primal wildness and a massive life aura, as if countless giant beasts breathed in the depths of this starry sky.

This is the Emperor Beast Great Star Region.

And his destination is the indisputable center of this Star Domain… Emperor Beast City!

It is not a city built upon a star, but a magnificent floating megacity suspended where several nebulae converge!

The city's whole structure is made of unknown dark‑blue giant stones, its style rugged and ancient, with countless beast reliefs faintly visible on walls and towers, vivid as if ready to awaken at any moment.

The city is colossal, like a floating continent, its interior buildings densely packed, radiant light soaring skyward, and waves of unmatched fierce aura rising like beaconing flames, heralding the gathering of the strong here.

Ye Wuque reined in his aura, followed the crowd, and stepped into the vast megacity named Emperor Beast City.

Upon entering, the clamorous, boiling sounds, countless auras of varying strength yet all imbued with vigor, and the air thick with excitement, tension and greed intertwined over the Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago opportunity, struck him like a wave of heat.

Stepping into Emperor Beast City, Ye Wuque instantly sensed an aura vastly different from the outside world.

Here, rather than being a city, it is an ancient realm fashioned for giant beasts and powerful beings, floating above the nebulae.
