Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Chen Ku's majestic and domineering true body, like a king of all gods who created the world, stood in the Longhan Divine Palace. Outside his body, there were layers of caves and heavens that seemed to surround him.

As the heavens turned, Chen Ku's eyes suddenly opened, emitting a terrifying brilliance.

An indescribable force emanated from him.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ku's body began to shrink by zhang. After a dozen breaths, it became the size of a normal person. After more than a hundred years of practice, his face finally showed maturity.

Yang Pan looked at Chen Ku descending from the void, feeling his terrifying aura, which was like that of a god king on earth. He said incredulously, "General Chen, what level are you at now? I have the illusion that I can't even bear it if you snap your fingers."

The domineering aura emanating from Chen Ku made him feel like an ant in front of Chen Ku.

Although he had been unable to improve his realm in the past 170 years, his combat power and martial arts experience had reached an incredible level, yet he actually had this feeling.

“As for the level… I’m still unable to step into the realm of the fourteenth realm to open up a cave heaven, but with the power of these twenty-four cave heaven prototypes, my current punch can probably directly hit those eighteen Kunpeng Swallowing Cloud Ships.” Chen Ku described his own combat power in this way.

After all, behind the twenty-four cave-sky prototypes are twenty-four guardian incarnations at the peak of the thirteenth realm. Their combined power is far greater than that of the eighteen Kunpeng Swallowing Cloud Ships.

Yang Pan was surprised and asked: "What? That means you have the combat power of the Fourteenth Realm!"

The power of the twenty-four cave-heaven embryos added together can definitely challenge the Martial Arts King of the Fourteenth Realm and compete with him.

He initially thought that Chen Ku was courting his own death, but these 170 years of practice had completely brought about a drastic change in Chen Ku's combat power.

You should know that in the court of the Daji Dynasty, there are only eight king-level fighters. If you count the lords of the holy places in the world, there are only fifteen masters of the fourteenth level of combat power in the Daji Dynasty.

now……

This means there will be a sixteenth king-level existence!
How could he not be happy? Because if Chen Ku, who had such fighting power, walked out of Longhan Divine Mansion, he would have the power to turn the tide of the war. He could resist a million-strong army by himself.

"General Chen, according to what you said, although I don't have the realm of the fourteenth realm, I have the combat power of the fourteenth realm, so... can I try to tear open the Longhan Divine Mansion with force?" Yang Pan asked expectantly.

Chen Ku remained silent about Yang Pan's question, then shook his head and said, "For the past 170 years, I have been feeling the time and space in Longhan Divine Palace. The space here is not solid and can be shattered, but it is not the space here that traps us, but the time here. I can tear open the void here, but I cannot tear open the years here."

The words were a bit confusing, but Yang Pan understood them.

The Longhan Divine Mansion is different from other cave dwellings. The true essential law of the world is different from the ordinary law of time. That is why one day in the outside world is equivalent to ten years here.

Chen Ku looked at Yang Pan's gloomy expression, raised his head towards the sky, and was also silent.

One hundred and seventy years have passed here. Although his cultivation and combat power have achieved unprecedented growth, he still cannot break the power here. This is enough to show how powerful the Long Han Emperor is.

Just when he was considering whether to use the technique of changing his mind and identity with an incarnation outside.

But after being dejected, Yang Pan seemed to quickly accept this fact and then told Chen Ku something that surprised him.

"Since we can't use force to create a new world, maybe we can only try to explore the palace."

Yang Pan said this and turned to look at a hall behind him.

Chen Ku raised his eyebrows and looked over: "Great Hall, have you found a way to enter this hall?"

Yang Pan took out the ancient mirror from his bosom and said, "I have not been idle for the past 170 years. I have been comprehending this mirror that allowed us to enter here. Finally, ten years ago, I made some progress and comprehended some information from it. It turns out that this mirror is an 'imperial weapon' made by the Longhan Emperor. It has the emperor's imperial pattern on it. It was triggered by Pei Dongliu's Mahamudra Cannon, so the Longhan Divine Palace was awakened. In the past ten years, after some of my insights, I have been able to activate some of the imperial pattern power on it. After three attempts, I was able to tear open part of the restriction at the entrance of the hall, allowing us to enter and take a look."

Chen Ku seemed to be thinking about something when he heard this, and then looked towards the direction of the hall.

Honestly speaking, even though he had been here for more than a hundred years, he was still confused about the situation in the Longhan Divine Palace. What if there was any danger behind the palace...

But on second thought, danger and opportunity coexist, and the Longhan Divine Palace, as one of the nine palaces, three repositories and six treasures in ancient and modern times, is not just a name.

So after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Then let's try and see."

Seeing that Chen Ku agreed, Yang Pan said, "Then follow me."

As he spoke, he took the ancient mirror in his hand and walked towards the stone hall behind him.

This stone hall has a very primitive style. There was originally a special array pattern at the entrance of the hall, with rippling light.

Chen Ku watched Yang Pan's movements, and saw Yang Pan stretched out a few fingers and turned the ancient mirror a few times, and a light curtain and array pattern actually appeared in the ancient mirror. After he turned it continuously, it suddenly refracted a thin ray of light and fell under the light curtain at the entrance of the hall.

In the blink of an eye, the light curtain rolled up like a curtain, leaving a gap half a person's height.

"Hurry up, I'm not familiar with this formation yet, I can only open it for three breaths at most."

After saying that, Yang Pan was the first to flash forward and went in.

Chen Ku's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought for half a breath. Then he transformed into a stream of blood and entered the stone hall.

Wow~~~
The moment he entered the hall, Chen Ku saw a dazzling light that obscured his vision. He first heard the sound of running water, and then heard Yang Pan's scream:
"General Chen, be careful, don't touch the river water!"

Chen Ku's vision recovered quickly as his double pupils worked, and he finally saw clearly everything inside the hall. It turned out that inside the hall there was a long river flowing in the void, and the river water circulated in the hall as if it never stopped.

The space inside the hall is also large enough, like a hall built by the ancient giant gods. Every pillar is extremely wide, making Chen Ku and Yang Pan look like two ants that have broken into the giant's temple.

At this moment, when Chen Ku looked over, he saw Yang Pan looking at a piece of his clothes with a look of shock. It turned out that after being stained by the river water flowing in the void, it quickly weathered and dispersed.

You should know that Yang Pan's blue brocade robe was woven by the finest silkworms, and was impervious to water and fire, but now it was shattered into pieces.

"This river water?"

Chen Ku said solemnly:

“Corrosive?”

"It's not corrosion. General Chen, just try throwing a weapon in there and you'll know." Yang Pan looked at the river in front of him seriously.

Chen Ku pondered for a moment and took out a weapon from his sleeve. This was a standard sword in the Xia Wang Realm, with a famous weapon quality. All the treasures and things in the Xia Wang Realm were stored in the acupoints in his body in advance after he refined them.

He tentatively inserted the knife into the river.

In an instant, when the tip of the knife entered the water, traces of rust appeared, and then, the tip of the knife began to become brittle... "This is..." Chen Ku's Eyes of Pojun turned quickly, and in an instant, he saw clearly everything that happened at the moment the precious sword entered the water.

It's not corrosion, but it seems like a long period of time has passed in an instant.

"It's the years..."

Just as Chen Ku's mind flashed, a huge warning sign instantly spread from the sword:
[If the river of time intends to harm the master, you can use the things of the fifteenth realm to suppress it.]

"River of Time?"

The moment Chen Ku saw the information about the long river appear on the changing map, he blurted it out and threw the long knife in his hand into the river without hesitation.

As the long sword entered the river, the precious sword turned into an old, broken sword covered with rust.

"It is indeed the power of time! This is actually a river that contains the law of time. The time passes by in it thousands of times faster than in the entire Longhan Divine Mansion. If the two of us are unlucky enough to encounter this river water, even if we have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, our lifespan will be exhausted in less than an incense stick of time." Yang Pan said with lingering fear after hearing the word "river of time" that Chen Ku blurted out.

Chen Ku was about to say something.

Suddenly, a mysterious voice came from the river of time:

“You two youngsters are quite knowledgeable and can see the truth of the River of Time at a glance.”

The tone of the voice was flat.

It seems that he is accustomed to the vicissitudes of history.

"who!?"

However, Chen Ku and Yang Pan's expressions changed drastically in an instant.

There is actually a third person in the main hall of the Longhan Divine Palace.

"My Taoist name is Yankang." The mysterious voice said calmly, "I have been trapped in this river of time by Longhan for 100,000 years."

"Yankang? Longhan?"

Yang Pan instantly removed the key information from the mysterious man's words from his mind.

And Chen Ku had quickly connected something.

Long Han should refer to Emperor Long Han.

That Yankang...

"Are you Emperor Yankang?!"

Chen Ku opened his mouth, confused and uncertain.

He instantly thought of the "Yankang Rudao Tu" that he had obtained from the wandering cultivator Wen Suzhen in the mountains six thousand miles outside Yandu City. It came from an ancient emperor of the fifteenth realm.

When he was practicing the Way of Extinction among the Iron Trees in the Dharma Extinction Tower, he had also comprehended this picture of entry into the Dao.

Emperor Yankang is the master of the "Yankang Immortal Palace" among the nine palaces, three treasuries and six storages.

“Emperor Yankang?” Yang Pan looked at the River of Time in shock while Chen Ku was speaking: “An emperor from ancient times?”

“I never thought that after 100,000 years, there would still be people who remembered my title of emperor.”

The voice in the river of time smiled faintly:

“It’s comforting.”

"You are really Emperor Yankang!"

Chen Ku said solemnly:

"You said you were trapped here by Long Han, why?"

He didn't know much about the existence of Emperor Longhan and Emperor Yankang in ancient mythology. He only knew their imperial titles.

As a native of the capital of the Daji Dynasty and a descendant of the Marquis of Guanjun, Yang Pan knew more than Chen Ku and said to himself:
"After the disappearance and death of the ancient True Dragon Emperor, it is said that five emperors briefly took over the world. They were Longhan Emperor, Chiming Emperor, Kaihuang Emperor, Shanghuang Emperor, and Yankang Emperor. Yankang Emperor was the last emperor to unify the world. After that, the world was divided into several forces, and finally evolved into several major countries and countless small countries. The title of emperor can only be given to those who have completed the unification of the world."

Chen Ku was even more surprised when he heard Yang Pan mumbling to himself.

Emperor Longhan and Emperor Yankang were actually great unifiers in ancient times. Their value is much greater than that of emperors of great countries such as Emperor Ji, Emperor Yuan, and Emperor Yun.

Wow~~
The river of time in the void began to stir, and the voice claiming to be Yan Kang suddenly spoke coldly: "Long Han is not worthy of being called the Great Emperor, he is a traitor to the world."

Chen Ku and Yang Pan looked at each other and immediately realized that there was a lot of information contained in it.

"What do you mean, senior?" Chen Ku asked.

He thought of what the other party had just said, that he was trapped here by Emperor Long Han.

Yankang spoke in a calm voice:
"Long Han was originally the direct disciple of the Immortal Ancestor, and I am the direct disciple of the Taoist Ancestor. Everything started after the death of the real dragon. At that time, the world was without a master. After unanimous discussion, several founders of the Tao decided to elect a new master of the human world. This new master of the human world will be limited to a thousand years, and will be held by the disciples of the five great masters of Taoism, gods, immortals, demons, and martial arts. Long Han is the first, and I am the fifth. According to the rules, after I have ruled the world for a thousand years, it will be handed over to another descendant of the Immortal Ancestor, the Jade Emperor. But when the new master of the human world took over, Long Han led the immortal family of the heaven to invade the human world."

"What? Invasion from heaven?" Chen Ku was shocked.

This seems to be consistent with some ancient secrets mentioned by Ju Ao.

“In that battle, three of the five founders of the Dao perished, and the world was almost sunk. Although we united to suppress and seal the immortal kings of several royal families in the heavens, I was ambushed by Long Han during the battle, and my body was broken and my soul was wiped out. Only a trace of immortal will remained, and he imprisoned me in this long river of time.” Emperor Yankang said in a bleak voice: “He tried to use the power of time to erase my immortality.”

After hearing this, the two were shocked.

Especially Yang Pan, who said, "I have heard of the beings in the heavens, are they so powerful that they can even bring down the founder of the Dao?"

"If you knew that in that battle, there were 10 billion cultivators in the human world, but the Changsheng family had less than 100 people attacking, you would have a clearer understanding of the power of the Changsheng family in the heaven." Yan Kang said calmly. (End of this chapter)
