"Good. After waiting for countless ages and making preparations for so many years, the time has finally come," declared a Great Power.
"In that case, let us begin the assault on the Profound Ancient Gate and open the gate to the Land of Creation."
The Primordial Times Demon God roared, his voice shaking the vast Ancient Emperor Continent.
"Agreed!"
A total of ten ancient Great Sages from the myriad realms, plus Ye Chen, making eleven in all, moved into action at this moment. In the span of a few breaths, they charged from the starry sky to the Ten Thousand Dao Waterfall at the extreme end of the Divine Realm.
When the ancient Great Sages of the Ancient Emperor Realm saw Ye Chen, they showed some surprise and suspicion. Even the Primordial Times Demon God and the Great Power Gu Changsheng revealed hostility, yet none of them made a move.
With the assault imminent, every ounce of power at the Great Power level was crucial and indispensable.
All existences at the Great Power level temporarily reached a unanimous agreement, setting aside all grievances for the time being, with the priority being the assault on the Profound Ancient Gate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
At the very end of the Divine Realm, beams of the most terrifying Dao light erupted, each one incredibly thick, like pillars holding up the heavens, capable of illuminating all realms.
These were the Great Sages' fundamental Dao divine lights. Including Ye Chen, a total of nineteen fundamental Dao light pillars shot forth, illuminating the entire Ancient Emperor Realm and causing the myriad Daos of the world to instantly retreat, unable to approach the Divine Realm, with these nineteen individuals as the core.
Even Ye Chen, whose fundamental Dao light pillar could not compare to those of the other ancient Great Sages, had vast world power merging and amplifying it, making it no weaker than the others, even emanating a divine world majesty.
The Primordial Times Demon God stepped forward. He charged to the entrance of the Divine Realm, manifesting a hundred-thousand-li-tall Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, and roared—
"Everyone, please take action! Summon the fortune of the Age of Gods!"
"Good!" Boom!—
At this moment, all the ancient Great Sages acted. The fundamental Dao light pillars erupting from their bodies transformed into fundamental Dao chains, striking out from the Divine Realm and finally piercing into the deepest parts of the Ancient Emperor Continent.
A total of nineteen fundamental Dao chains appeared, each one immensely thick, intertwining with each other, connecting to and entangling the fortune of the Age of Gods.
"Rise!"
The nineteen ancient Great Power-level existences roared, their voices shaking all realms. Great Power-level fluctuations erupted, sweeping across the boundless Ancient Emperor Realm.
Rumble!—
Accompanied by a terrifyingly loud noise, the entire great world began to tremble, and even the whole Ancient Emperor Realm shook.
Great upheaval swept through the heavens. The winds and clouds in the sky changed color. The vast continent shook incessantly, as if the end times were approaching.
Countless people prayed to the Holy Domain, hoping it would save the world.
Even Ye Chen hadn't expected that the Faith Power of the Holy Domain would surge dramatically in an instant.
But he couldn't pay it much mind now, because from deep within the earth, an indescribably vast and boundless force of fortune appeared, far more immense than an ocean, capable of submerging everything.
This intangible fortune force was directly pulled out from the depths of the earth, passing through the bodies of all living beings on the Ancient Emperor Continent without harming them.
However, any living being the fortune force passed through felt as if they had lost a portion of their strength, becoming much weaker.
Ye Chen discovered that when the fortune of the Age of Gods appeared and passed through these living beings, it also took away a part of their essence, energy, and spirit.
The amount taken from each individual living being wasn't much, but the number of living beings on the Ancient Emperor Continent was far beyond billions. Any single race's Domain far exceeded that number, let alone the entire Ancient Emperor Continent. It was a staggering sight, imperceptibly strengthening the fortune of the Ancient Emperor Continent by a huge margin.
"What a clever move, hiding this trick up their sleeve," Ye Chen thought with inner shock. He also directed the Faith Power from the Central Heavenly Palace to surge forth, flooding the Imperial City. Powerful wish force also swelled, blocking the fortune of the Age of Gods as it swept over the Imperial City.
Moreover, even if Ye Chen didn't act, the Imperial City itself emanated a hazy, radiant glow, autonomously resisting. It was extraordinary, an Imperial City established by the Great Saint Emperor, with an immortal, hazy luster flowing around it, sufficient to withstand any attack.
Rumble!—
Pulled by the fundamental Dao chains of the nineteen ancient Great Power-level figures, the vast fortune of the Age of Gods soared into the sky, directly plunging into the starry sky. Along the way, it drew away the fundamental power of countless stars, adding to the fortune's strength.
Finally, the massive ball of fortune submerged the starry sky and was pulled into the Divine Realm. The nineteen ancient Great Sages stood within the passage of the Ten Thousand Dao Waterfall, working together to channel it into the extreme end of the Divine Realm.
Boom!—
At this moment, countless people were watching.
Far away in the Primordial Lake, the most terrifying beams of light erupted.
In the Chaotic Sea, a fearsome Ship That Slays Immortals appeared. Someone stood upon its deck, gazing into the depths of the starry sky towards the Divine Realm, their eyes profound and unfathomable. The Ship That Slays Immortals flowed with a mysterious luster.
Within the Chaotic Sea, a terrifying existence shrouded in myriad demonic mists roared, constantly shouting a mysterious and extraordinary name—Primordial.
On the Ancient Divine Continent, the beams of light erupting from the Demon God Ruins grew increasingly fiery, to the point where the myriad Daos of half the Ancient Emperor Realm retreated. All the powerful beings on the Ancient Divine Continent found it difficult to sense the Dao.
Rumble!—
Far at another edge of the Ancient Emperor Realm, at this moment, a boundless continent slowly rose from the endless ocean, carrying an ancient aura, yet it was shattered and fragmented—a piece of a broken ancient continent, utterly silent.
This was the Ancient Immortal Continent, the continent destroyed in the Primordial battle. It now appeared, with a mysterious aura emanating from within.
The old knight had long since retreated from the Divine Realm. Gazing towards its extreme end, he murmured softly, "Can they truly break open the Taiji seal on the Profound Ancient Gate? Our master has waited for tens of thousands of years."
The Five Divine Kings all sighed. What was to come had arrived. They were all gathering their power, preparing for the most terrifying situation.
Some extremely ancient existences turned their attention here. Even far in the myriad realms, giants standing upon the river of endless ages awakened, their auras hazy as they looked into the depths of the infinite void, seemingly able to see everything.
Boom!—
The nineteen thick fundamental Dao chains pulled that vast, boundless ball of fortune from the Age of Gods—as large as the entire human Domain—dragged by the nineteen Great Power-level experts, charging into the extreme end of the Divine Realm.
Moreover, the nineteen supreme figures, including Ye Chen, all took action. One after another, they continuously unleashed streams of Dao divine power, refining and weaving them with the Dao marks of the heavens, constantly channeling them into this immense ball of fortune.
Finally, the entire boundless ball of fortune actually ignited, like the most blazing fundamental Dao fire, even larger than the sun in the sky. Waves of terror-inducing power rapidly appeared, far surpassing even that of the ancient Great Sages.
Rumble!—
The entire Ancient Emperor Realm seemed about to be completely set ablaze, covered by endless light, illuminating every corner of the Divine Realm. Everything was bathed in light; darkness vanished forever.
Boom!—
The most terrifying sound exploded, for the nineteen Great Power-level experts had completely ignited the fortune of the Age of Gods, using it to assault the Profound Ancient Gate, to assault the seals.
Endless light, and even more endless flames, blazed torrentially, as if about to set the entire Divine Realm ablaze. Vast swathes of land collapsed. The once-immortal immortal mountains and great peaks crumbled. The void continuously shattered and annihilated. Everything seemed about to turn to nothingness.
No one saw exactly what kind of collision occurred at the end of the Divine Realm. They only saw endless light erupting, even with the isolation of the Ten Thousand Dao Waterfall.
The fluctuations were simply too intense, to the point that the Divine Realm was completely lit up, and even the starry sky of the Ancient Emperor Realm was the same, as if about to set the entire vast cosmos ablaze, reducing it to ashes.
Even separated by the Divine Realm, those vast, boundless fluctuations emanated forth, surpassing the level of ancient Great Sages, terrifying beyond description. The entire Ancient Emperor Continent shook. The myriad stars in the heavens trembled, and many stars were shaken loose, falling as terrifying meteors towards the Ancient Emperor Continent.
"It's the apocalypse! The Ancient Emperor Continent is going to be destroyed!"
"Run! If we don't leave now, we'll die!"
On the Ancient Emperor Continent, the living beings of the three races' Domains were terrified. Those falling stars were too huge—actual stars with diameters of thousands of li. Falling to the earth, they would at the very least annihilate areas spanning hundreds of thousands of li, their power astonishing.
Even a Saint Master would be killed if struck. Samsara-level supreme experts could withstand it, but it seemed all the Samsara-level experts in the world were in the Imperial City, having retreated into the void, unable to appear, and couldn't block so many meteors anyway.
The common people prayed, hoping the Holy Domain's master, Qian, would step forward to save them, even though many knew he had entered the Divine Realm.
Rumble!—
The Nine Divine Kings of the Holy Domain appeared—the Nine Heavenly Kings of the Great Imperial Dynasties. They took action, blasting apart meteor after meteor, shattering them high in the sky into countless fragments.
Then, Faith Power surged and swelled from the Imperial City, spreading out like ripples, annihilating these meteor fragments in the void before they could fall onto the Ancient Emperor Continent and cause casualties.
This further deepened the people's faith in the Holy Domain.
The Five Divine Kings did not act, for they were preparing to deal with even more terrifying disasters.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
At the extreme end of the Divine Realm, terrifyingly loud booms that shook the entire Ancient Emperor Realm continuously exploded, accompanied by bursts of billions-of-zhang-tall divine radiance that annihilated everything.
The Great Sages used the vast fortune of the Age of Gods to assault the Profound Ancient Gate. The outcome was unknown, but the intensity was likely unprecedented. They could even hear what seemed like roars coming from there.
The nineteen Great Sages were within the passage of the Ten Thousand Dao Waterfall. In fact, they didn't need to maintain their efforts. The terrifying power of the assault on the Profound Ancient Gate nearly caused the Ten Thousand Dao Waterfall to completely collapse, piercing it with numerous fearsome holes. Vast amounts of destructive power leaked through, annihilating large areas of the Divine Realm and even surging out into the starry sky beyond, wreaking havoc and destroying stars.
Ye Chen and the other eighteen ancient Great Power-level existences continuously acted, completely igniting the entire boundless fortune of the Age of Gods, relentlessly assaulting that Profound Ancient Gate. The terrifying fluctuations even spread to the nearby Immortal Heavenly Pass, causing rumbling, long roars.
In the end, everything at the extreme end of the Divine Realm seemed about to be burned away.
The Taiji seal on the Profound Ancient Gate fully manifested. Yin and Yang circled around it. One side emanated endless Dao divine fire capable of burning everything in the world; the other spewed black mist that froze everything.
Two completely opposite Dao powers surged forth, accompanied by faint threads of extreme Emperor might, exploding and shattering everything.
The fortune force of the Age of Gods continuously burned, transforming into the most terrifying power to assault the seal.
Rumble!—
From within the Taiji seal, faint threads of Emperor Heavenly Might erupted, sweeping out. All realms trembled. The Ancient Emperor Realm shook as if about to be torn apart.
At this moment, from within the Taiji seal, it seemed as if the invincible mythical Emperors and Sovereigns of past and present, slumbering in hibernation, had awakened. Heavenly Might swept majestically through all realms.
Taiyin and Taiyang resonated. Completely opposite Dao powers, yet mutually generating and restraining each other, perfectly united, continuously countering the vast fortune force of the Age of Gods.
This made people's expressions change. Could even the fortune of the Age of Gods fail to break through the seal?
Among them, an ancient Great Sage of the Ancient Emperor Realm gave a light shout, moving fragmented secret realm worlds from the starry sky. These were worlds destroyed in the great war of the gods in the past, but at this moment, they shone with terrifying beams of light, not inferior to the power of ancient Great Sages, even surpassing it somewhat.
The Great Sages instantly understood. Although these secret realm worlds were all broken, they contained the essence, energy, and spirit of fallen gods, imprisoned within. Now ignited by the ancient Great Sages, they all erupted.
Among them was the final gate of the Ninety-Nine Passes, which had in fact been proven to be one of the contingency plans left behind by the overlords of the Age of Gods. Now activated, it was terrifyingly powerful.
And it was even more terrifying than the other broken worlds. That ancient Great Sage exclaimed in surprise, sensing another kind of power awakening—it was actually a formation.
This was a contingency plan Ye Chen had left behind long ago, now also awakening alongside it.
Simultaneously, various battlefields on the Ancient Emperor Continent, regarded as forbidden zones of life, rose up, transforming into brilliant light that shot towards the Profound Ancient Gate.
At the same time, various ancient battlefields of the gods in the starry sky did the same. The Great Sages of the heavens used their heaven-reaching methods to summon them, transforming them into incredibly brilliant yet world-destroying Dao divine radiances that assaulted the Profound Ancient Gate.
Rumble!—
Visible to the naked eye, the most intense Dao divine radiance exploded from within the Profound Ancient Gate. It was truly world-destroying. Everything was about to shatter; nothing would remain. It was utterly heart-stopping.
Rumble!—
Suddenly, after a terrifyingly loud noise, at the extreme end of the Divine Realm, the Taiji seal finally exploded, transforming into a shower of brilliant light rain, extremely dazzling yet containing the most terrifying destructive power. It shattered the myriad Daos and caused the Ten Thousand Dao Waterfall to collapse.
"The Taiji seal left by the Great Saint Emperor has collapsed!" an ancient Great Sage declared, shaking the world.
Hum!—
At this very moment, a drastic change occurred. All the light rain reversed, coalescing before the Profound Ancient Gate into a figure of light, one who lorded over all realms, the master of the entire cosmos—
"The Great Saint Emperor!?"
The Great Sages of the heavens changed color!
