What a terrifying tribulation this was!
What kind of tribulation was this, to actually give birth to such a fearsome humanoid calamity?
Moreover, they clearly saw that this tribulation was practically endless—a vast, surging sea of tribulation light and thunder, grand beyond imagination, descending in its entirety to utterly drown everything.
At the very least, even the majestic Immortal Heavenly Pass ahead was submerged, filled with blazing, boiling tribulation light and thunder. The lightning rippling here all contained the terrifying power of great destruction, enough to make the scalp of even the Primordial Immortal Realm Great Powers guarding the Immortal Heavenly Pass tingle.
What a peerlessly fearsome tribulation!
The heroic young man, while confronting the Chaos Deity, was also fighting his way over, slaughtering across all directions and striking through the nine heavens.
And he shouted to the guardians on the Immortal Heavenly Pass: "I request the gate be opened!"
"No!"
The guardians refused; they would not open the gate under any circumstances. Not only was Ye Chen's origin unclear, but once the gate was opened, this vast heavenly tribulation might very likely cause an immeasurably terrible impact on the entire Primordial Immortal Realm. This was absolutely not permitted.
Ye Chen let out a long roar, summoning a streak of azure light—the Bronze Great Halberd. Shielded by the Chaos Great Cauldron, it could not be sensed by the heavenly tribulation, but it could be seen by the guardians on the Immortal Heavenly Pass. He said, "Esteemed ones, you should recognize the origin of this halberd!"
"Hmm?"
The guardians on the Immortal Heavenly Pass clearly saw this Bronze Great Halberd through the Chaos Great Cauldron. At first, they were stunned and somewhat puzzled. However, after a moment, the expressions of these guardians of the Immortal Heavenly Pass abruptly changed drastically, completely jolted awake.
"Primordial Battle Body!"
That's right, it was the peerless battle weapon of the Sovereign of Kings, the Sovereign of Formlessness—the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd.
Who didn't know, who hadn't heard of that invincible Sovereign who had once dazzled an entire Mythical Epoch, even hailed as potentially the second to reach the strongest Emperor realm after the Battle Saint Ancestor?
Every Ancient Universe was deeply aware of the supreme invincibility of the Sovereign of Formlessness, acclaimed as the number one beneath Emperors, a fact almost universally acknowledged across the various Ancient Universes.
In a sense, it could be said that the Sovereign of Formlessness was almost no less than a true peerless Emperor.
In other words, his peerless battle weapon was also no less than a true supreme Emperor's weapon.
Now, this young Supreme One wreathed in ancient chaos qi was undergoing tribulation. Heavenly tribulations varied according to the individual. Once it sensed the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, it would inevitably erupt into a vast tribulation approaching the Emperor realm. Even the Immortal Heavenly Pass, though it might withstand it, would likely suffer severe damage.
"Junior, how dare you!"
The Great Power-level guardians on the Heavenly Pass all changed color, shouting.
Ye Chen, while confronting the Chaos Deity, transmitted his voice: "Esteemed Seniors, I merely wish to find some people within the Primordial Immortal Realm. I have no desire to damage the Immortal Heavenly Pass. Let me enter, and all will be well."
Although Ye Chen's words were very calm, anyone could hear the threat within them.
If you don't open the Immortal Heavenly Pass, don't blame me for getting ruthless and drawing out the most terrifying Emperor-level tribulation to bombard the Immortal Heavenly Pass.
"You—"
Several Great Power-level gatekeepers were furious; he was actually threatening them.
Boom—
However, a vast sea of tribulation light and thunder struck, directly submerging the Immortal Heavenly Pass and launching a terrifying bombardment.
This was an immeasurable sea of tribulation light and thunder.
The entire Immortal Heavenly Pass actually seemed to tremble faintly at this moment. The gatekeepers on the Immortal Heavenly Pass finally witnessed the fearsomeness of this heroic young man. His tribulation far surpassed the ordinary Great Power tribulation of a Great Power, even terrifyingly many times over.
An ordinary ancient Great Power simply could not withstand such a terrifying tribulation when achieving Great Power status—it was practically an Emperor's Son Level Great Power tribulation. Just who was this young man?
Moreover, seeing him wreathed in ancient chaos qi, fighting the Chaos Deity to a standstill, and the earth-shattering, terrifying blood qi erupting from the crown of his head—all of this made one's heart tremble.
Now they finally understood, for the most part: this heroic young man was very likely an Emperor's Son Level Supreme Heaven's Pride figure, unimaginably powerful.
Yet what puzzled them was: weren't all such young Supreme Ones, Imperial Sons, supposed to have embarked on the Ultimate Ancient Path? Why had this person not?
The few ancient Great Sages who had followed from afar felt their scalps tingle at this sight, for the Battle Saint King's forcefulness and domineering aura had not diminished from the past, even grown stronger, daring to threaten the experts of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Boom—
Ye Chen used the Chaos Great Cauldron to strike the pass. Naturally, no matter how powerful he was, it was impossible, for the Immortal Heavenly Pass was fundamentally unshakable. Otherwise, like the Tenth Emperor's Pass of the Sealed Universe, it would have long been breached by the alien races.
However, Ye Chen was doing this intentionally. Within, his Bronze Great Halberd flickered in and out of sight, as if ready to break free at any moment and be exposed to the tribulation.
All of this made the gatekeepers on the Immortal Heavenly Pass tremble with fear. If the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd were truly brought out, it would be trouble.
"Young friend, we can agree to open the Immortal Heavenly Pass, but on the condition that you first complete your tribulation," the gatekeepers hurriedly transmitted.
"No!"
Yet Ye Chen flatly refused. What a joke! His greatest reliance right now was this Chaos Tribulation, also his only capital to open the Immortal Heavenly Pass. If the heavenly tribulation vanished, how could he negotiate with these people to open the Heavenly Pass gate and enter the legendary Primordial Immortal Realm?
"Young friend, your tribulation is too terrifying, belonging to the Emperor's Son Level, the most powerful type of tribulation. We cannot allow a crisis to arise in the Primordial Immortal Realm," the gatekeepers explained thus.
But Ye Chen still refused, even while undergoing tribulation and resisting the Chaos Deity.
He descended like a Heavenly Emperor, peerlessly invincible, possessing an invincible bearing, looking down upon all heavens as he responded: "The Primordial Immortal Realm is the most powerful Ancient Universe; it cannot possibly face a crisis from this. I need to enter the Primordial Immortal Realm now, and I will not linger for long. I only wish to find some people."
"Who?"
"The Emperors and Sovereigns from my world who entered the Primordial Immortal Realm in the past!" Ye Chen said.
Hearing this, the expressions of the Great Power-level gatekeepers on the Immortal Heavenly Pass changed slightly.
Ye Chen noticed this, but at this moment, he also coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth, attacked by the Chaos Deity and because special divine islands had appeared within the sea of tribulation light and thunder, with grand palaces and halls standing tall. Within them, a veritable army of thousands actually charged over. The tribulation grew increasingly terrifying.
Especially the Chaos Deity, who was excessively powerful, displaying unparalleled Chaos Dao and techniques during this period, even cleaving Ye Chen in two at the waist, flesh and blood flying. The Chaos Great Cauldron was on the verge of being extinguished. Everything indicated that Ye Chen was facing a special crisis at this moment.
But the Chaos Deity was not having an easy time either. After all, Ye Chen was no weakling. Clashing with it, he displayed his strongest Dao techniques. With a roar, immeasurable light erupted, nearly shattering and extinguishing the Chaos Deity.
However, the Chaos Deity was born from the sea of tribulation light and thunder, eternally indestructible, replenished by vast amounts of the tribulation sea.
Naturally, Ye Chen circulated his Saint Body Regeneration Art, similarly devouring the immeasurable sea of tribulation light and thunder, continuously absorbing it to replenish his massive depleted divine energy.
His Chaos Great Cauldron shook the nine heavens and ten earths, slaughtering all the special tribulations that appeared within the sea of tribulation light and thunder, protecting Ye Chen.
"Open the gate!"
Ye Chen shouted. Seeing the gatekeepers unwilling to open the gate, he immediately hurled the Chaos Great Cauldron into the sea of tribulation light and thunder, about to open it, revive the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, and summon the most terrifying Emperor-level tribulation.
"Don't!"
The gatekeepers exclaimed in alarm.
"Then open it!" Ye Chen's expression was icy. He had given these people enough time, yet they delayed. His expression turned cold and ruthless, about to erupt.
"We'll open it now!"
Even the several Great Power-level gatekeepers on the Immortal Heavenly Pass appeared helpless at this moment, for they were indeed afraid of Ye Chen, and opened the city gate of the Immortal Heavenly Pass.
Visible to the naked eye, the Heavenly Gate opened a crack, revealing a true corner of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Within, there were naturally numerous majestic immortal mountains suspended in the air, various divine islands, and many pure lands and immortal realms. Everything was as mortals imagined—transcendent and aloof.
From the gate also emanated vast amounts of pure immortal qi, a heaven and earth energy of a higher level than spiritual energy, possessed only by the Primordial Immortal Realm.
This was the legendary Primordial Immortal Realm.
Ye Chen stood before the Heavenly Pass gate, his entire body stained with blood, black hair disheveled, yet he exuded a majestic, imposing aura as he strode inside.
As for the Chaos Deity behind him, for some reason, it suddenly grew quiet, no longer attacking. It actually gazed distantly at the Primordial Immortal Realm within the Heavenly Gate, a strange light flickering in its eyes, as if contemplating something, reminiscing about something.
All of this seemed very strange.
It could be seen that on the other side of the massive city gate, numerous figures appeared. The vast majority were soldiers, guards of the Immortal Heavenly Pass, each with cold expressions, raising their weapons to point distantly at Ye Chen.
Once a commander, a marshal, or other such important figure gave the order, they would immediately attack Ye Chen attempting to enter the pass.
Yet Ye Chen was unafraid. Though his clothes were stained with blood, even his black hair was smeared with blood, and blood trailed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes remained terrifyingly cold as he swept his gaze over all the Primordial Immortal Realm experts ahead. He released a terrifying aura capable of sweeping across all heavens, like a peerless great menace from the Mythical Epoch, causing the numerous Primordial Immortal Realm soldiers to tremble instantly, like ants gazing up at a dragon.
Too terrifying. An ordinary ancient Great Power simply couldn't give them such a sense of pressure. Just who was this extraordinary, heroic young man?
"Young friend, whom do you seek?"
From the distant sky deep within the Primordial Immortal Realm, several aged figures flew over. Yet each was undoubtedly a super expert, veteran Great Powers. For several to appear at once showed how cautious they were.
"Emperors!"
Ye Chen said coldly.
But the several elder Great Powers shook their heads, saying, "Young friend, if you seek Emperors, then you have come to the wrong place. There are no Emperors here, only supreme immortals."
