Ye Chen shattered the Great Dao shackles, completely reviving the Great Dao laws within his body, and his aura surged explosively.
Before the law shackles, he was only at the Seventh Heaven of the Saint Vault realm. But now, he had climbed three heavens in succession, standing at the pinnacle of the Tenth Heaven, achieving complete Saint Vault perfection.
That aura was peerless, infinitely close to the Heavenly King realm, and to a certain extent, not inferior to a Heavenly King.
This was because from the Demi-Saint, Divine Transformation, to Saint Vault realms, each major realm was one heaven higher than ordinary people. After stacking layer upon layer, the resulting imposing might naturally was not inferior to a Heavenly King.
Moreover, he possessed the invincible Battle Saint Soul.
He stretched his body, his bones and joints crackling like thunder, accompanied by the sound of blood rushing through his vessels, like terrifying waves crashing, deafening and utterly fearsome.
Boom—
Infinite golden blood radiance exploded forth, as if opening a world of gold. Dazzling golden light illuminated every inch of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, awe-inspiring.
After the shackles shattered, Ye Chen hovered in the starry void, clearly sensing the power within his body—the Great Dao laws and the combat power of his Battle Sacred Body—had now perfectly merged into one.
At this moment, Ye Chen felt that with a mere gesture, he could tear apart heaven and earth, easily raising a hand to suppress and slay any cultivator below the Heavenly King realm.
This power was truly formidable, far exceeding Ye Chen's imagination.
"Is this the pinnacle power of the Tenth Heaven Saint Vault perfection?" Ye Chen murmured to himself. With a slight clenching of his fist, this very heaven and earth seemed to tremble, and the world's origin felt fear.
His Four Extremities, his five viscera, his forehead bone—all were radiating light, an endless stream. The Great Dao laws flowed boundlessly, surging to strike the heavens.
The five Heaven's Avatars descended, launching terrifying attacks.
Ye Chen had grown stronger, achieving complete perfection. Moreover, he drew upon the divine radiance of the ten suns in the sky, adding it to himself, condensing ten layers of divine nature halos, and began battling the Heaven's Avatars.
However, the process remained arduous. Ye Chen had become stronger, but the heavenly tribulation had also adjusted accordingly. Supported by the tribulation's origin, the Heaven's Avatars had also grown stronger. His situation was still one of nine deaths and one life.
Yet, after the Great Dao revived, Ye Chen was clearly much more composed. Many dao techniques and laws operated with smooth naturalness, unlike the earlier slight awkwardness.
As always, he evolved the Chaos Cauldron within the heavenly tribulation, constructing the Chaos Great Dao. Various chanting sounds continuously arose as he clashed repeatedly with the other Heaven's Avatars.
During this period, Ye Chen's body was utterly shattered a full nine times, his origin severely depleted. However, he also managed to shatter the five Heaven's Avatars' origins once or twice each, achieving glorious battle results.
Yet, the most daunting was the Tenth Heaven's Avatar. It only attacked once during this time, and that single attack directly shattered Ye Chen's body because he sensed a mysterious and profound Samsara power that annihilated everything.
Finally, after a day and a night, the fearsome great tribulation finally began to recede.
After the battle, Ye Chen's body was shattered, his flesh and blood scattered across the starry void, every drop shimmering with dazzling golden light, containing vast vitality.
He gasped for breath within the sea of tribulation light and thunder, even wantonly devouring the tribulation thunder filling the sky, transforming it into divine energy to replenish his severely depleted Great Dao essence, allowing him to catch his breath.
In the end, he reconstituted his fleshly body, restored to indestructibility, achieving complete perfection. His Great Dao was flawless and peerless, becoming the number one under the Heavenly King realm, even capable of defying immortals, battling and suppressing Heavenly Kings.
His radiance illuminated the Ancient Emperor Continent, influencing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
This allowed the Three Immortal Maidens in the Central Heavenly Palace to finally breathe a sigh of relief. Ye Chen had finally endured and achieved complete perfection, just a step away from reaching the Heavenly King realm and ascending to another level.
Yet, Ye Chen was not satisfied with all this.
He looked towards Shen Rong in the distant void, who had also reconstituted his fleshly body. Shen Rong had been shattered by the three Heaven's Avatars not just four or five times; even possessing the complete Eight Slaying Immortal Forms was useless.
Nevertheless, he had successfully endured and not perished.
Turning his head, Ye Chen looked towards Di Wuming on the other side, whose body was also stained with blood, not spared, having been shattered as well.
Both had undergone a battle of invincibility within the same realm. That they could survive was sufficient to prove their extraordinary nature.
This also made Ye Chen feel pressure, because both had become Heavenly Kings, also in the Tenth Heaven perfection realm, not inferior to him, and one major realm above him.
Without stepping into the Heavenly King realm, facing such figures would always be inadequate, lacking by a margin.
Therefore, Ye Chen did not leave, still standing in place, looking up at the sky.
His accumulation was sufficient, his alternative Samsara successful, his self standing at a critical point. With just one step, he could reach that realm and achieve Heavenly Kinghood.
Boom—
The endless sea of tribulation light and thunder, which should have been slowly receding, suddenly collapsed.
From the crown of Ye Chen's head, an unparalleled Great Dao beam shot forth, containing his heaven-shattering martial will. It pierced through the starry river, broke through the layers of tribulation light and thunder sea, and illuminated the entire starry sky.
He was going to assault the Heavenly King realm!
Not merely reviving the Great Dao laws, but achieving the invincible Heavenly King realm, completely stepping into that domain of invincibility.
Boom—
Ye Chen's entire body glowed, scriptures thundering like peals, deafening.
His five viscera flowed with Xiantian Five Elements light; his four limbs transformed into four holy spirits, four-colored divine radiance encircling his body.
Within his abdomen, a mass of Chaos true blood transformed into swathes of primordial Chaos Qi. The shattered law remnants and Heavenly King laws were all devoured, merged into this Chaos Cauldron, becoming nourishment, catalyzing the enactment of the Chaos Dao.
His eyes also underwent a transformation: one eye represented light, the other darkness, enacting a light-dark Taiji diagram.
At his glabella, the Battle Saint Soul sat cross-legged, actively enacting all the dao techniques and laws mastered in past and present lives.
At this moment, Ye Chen was undergoing metamorphosis. Every part within his body was restless, his blood energy boiling. Each acupoint underwent startling changes, with hazy light and shadow appearing, as if about to pierce through the myriad worlds, drawing upon the essence of all realms to nourish himself.
His heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—the five viscera—manifested five light holes, connected to the essence of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The Xiantian Five Elements were further linked. His four limbs also merged with the four great origins of earth, water, fire, and wind, shaking the Four Extremities of heaven and earth.
The alternating light and dark in his eyes represented the order of heaven and earth.
Yet, no matter which, none could break free from Chaos. The final result of their unification astonishingly pointed towards the Chaos origin.
Ye Chen wanted to verify the results of his own Chaos Dao, even if only initially created, it needed verification!
Moreover, he wanted to break into the Heavenly King realm, pierce through heaven and earth, prove himself as the Battle Heavenly King, sweep aside all enemies in the world, and suppress even Emperor's sons!
