Rumble—
In an instant, the winds and clouds changed color, heaven and earth seemed to crumble, the ten directions' great mountains shattered, and a terrifying scene of destruction appeared.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged atop a tall mountain peak, formally beginning the conversion of the Great Dao divine power within his body.
To the naked eye, all eighty-four thousand tiny pores across his body opened completely at this moment, like eighty-four thousand miniature black holes. Yet they were not devouring heaven and earth, but rather fully releasing the Great Dao divine power within him, transforming it into dazzling divine radiance that continuously gushed forth.
This was all the Great Dao divine power Ye Chen had cultivated through arduous training across the myriad realms. Yet at this moment, it was all to be dispersed, turning into vast swathes of brilliant light rain, leaving his true body.
To thoroughly convert his divine power, he had to first disperse his previous divine power and then cultivate it anew on the Fifth Trial Continent. Only then could the conversion be fully completed.
Moreover, his Supreme Dao Body appeared before him. All the divine power expelled from his body continuously flowed into the Supreme Dao Body, not a single bit wasted.
This was a two-pronged preparation. Even if someone wanted to strike while he was converting his divine power, the Supreme Dao Body could protect his true self.
Simultaneously, a brilliant and blazing divine halo suddenly manifested around Ye Chen's true body—the tenfold Heavenly Divine Halo. The dazzling, radiant halo transformed in an instant into a layer of profound, indescribable black hole, so deep it seemed capable of devouring souls, causing one's heart to tremble with fear.
Rumble—
The vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within a radius of ten thousand li, even the spiritual veins hidden deep within the earth, surged forth endlessly, forming one substantial spiritual energy vortex after another. They were devoured by Ye Chen's true body, entering him to replenish the divine power being dispersed.
It could be said he was simultaneously releasing the divine power within his body and devouring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy of the Fifth Trial Continent, creating a cycle to make his Great Dao divine power complete once more.
Under the immense pressure, the various exotic beasts and divine birds within this ten-thousand-li radius of primeval forest trembled in fear, having long fled this terrifying place, not daring to look back.
In their minds, that human powerhouse sitting cross-legged on the mountain peak was like a supreme deity, impossible to contend against.
Rumble—
The Great Dao divine power within Ye Chen's body was truly too vast and powerful, roaring like endless, tempestuous waves of an ocean, surpassing that of an ordinary Heavenly King by who knew how many times.
Streams of Great Dao divine power, radiant with golden light, continuously poured out, annihilating the void between heaven and earth, pressing down the firmament. The entire world rumbled with a prolonged roar.
It was as if an ancient god was about to awaken from slumber, or like a primordial demon king roaring. The terrifying commotion shook the vast region spanning tens of thousands of li, fearsome beyond measure.
If not for the Supreme Dao Body devouring it on the other side, its release would absolutely destroy this heaven and earth, causing extremely severe, massive damage.
Yet boundless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was also continuously being devoured, creating a peculiar scene: on one side, full release with brilliant, shining light rain; on the other, a collapsing black hole, fully devouring.
Rumble—
Despite the interlocking arrays isolating all fluctuations, they could not escape the perception of some truly powerful individuals. Even from hundreds of thousands of li away, they could sense something abnormal happening in this Great Wilderness forest.
Far in the distance, due to the appearance of the Immortal Spring, Strongest Prodigies from various ancient universes were scattered about.
Even though the Immortal Island had not yet descended, many Strongest Prodigies were eyeing various locations on the Fifth Trial Continent covetously. Since the Immortal Island's descent had no fixed pattern, appearing randomly, they were all waiting.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, in that region, several Strongest Prodigies simultaneously showed expressions of surprise, gazing toward the border wastelands of the Fifth Trial Continent, sensing something particularly unusual emerging there.
One Strongest Prodigy uttered a sound of astonishment: "Just now, I seemed to sense a powerful fluctuation erupting in the continent's border wastelands. It flashed and vanished, but looking over now, I see no movement. It feels somewhat strange."
Another Strongest Prodigy, whose true form was a Jade-Eyed Golden Toad, also spoke: "Indeed. This fluctuation is very subtle. If not for our extraordinary perception, even other Heavenly Kings would find it difficult to sense its existence."
They were all Strongest Prodigies, their cultivation having reached an extremely profound level, far surpassing ordinary Heavenly Kings, truly transcending the mundane and entering the sacred. Otherwise, they could not have sensed this obscure fluctuation concealed by arrays.
"Perhaps someone is conducting some earth-shattering event there, isolated by special arrays, but not completely, allowing us to perceive a trace."
"Who could it be?"
"Should we go over? I feel it might be that young generation's supreme from the Sealed Boundary Universe. Although he is powerful, in previous battles, his divine power seemed somewhat lacking, flawed. It's very possible he hasn't had time to convert the Great Dao divine power within his body. Perhaps he's hidden within arrays, converting his divine power right now."
"Correct. Moreover, he hasn't appeared these past two days, which is already strange, isn't it? You know, whenever the Immortal Island appears, he shows up. It must be him. He's formidable—in that broken Sealed Boundary Universe, he actually managed to cultivate to the Tenth Heaven. Too monstrously heaven-defying. If he fully perfects the divine power within his body, he'll inevitably become even more terrifying. We absolutely cannot let him succeed."
"Now might be the critical moment of his divine power conversion. If we strike, not only can we ruin his efforts, but we might even have a good chance to seize the Immortal Spring water on him."
"Right. Let's form a temporary alliance, the few of us, and head over."
After a brief discussion, five Strongest Prodigies decided to form a temporary alliance and immediately charged toward the border wastelands of the Fifth Trial Continent.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen was simultaneously dispersing the Great Dao divine power within his body and devouring heaven and earth, refining more complete Great Dao divine power.
As time passed, his aura gradually grew stronger. His entire body emanated a fearsome presence that rippled through the heavens, extremely terrifying.
Within this region spanning tens of thousands of li, all living beings, whether powerful Great Wilderness exotic beasts or ancient strange birds, trembled and prostrated toward his direction, feeling shivers of fear.
At this moment, Ye Chen had already converted over half of the divine power within his body, feeling his strength becoming more abundant.
Yet right at this moment, his expression suddenly changed slightly. He sharply gazed into the distance.
Because he sensed that the arrays he had arranged in the distance were being broken through one after another. Fearsome figures were directly barging into the territorial arrays he had set up.
"So, this divine power conversion indeed isn't as smooth as imagined?" Ye Chen's gaze turned toward the distance as he murmured softly to himself.
