An even more terrifying sea of tribulation light and thunder appeared, vaster and more immense by several times compared to before, covering a radius of hundreds of thousands of li. Each massive column of tribulation light and thunder was as thick as a Heavenly Dragon.
Simultaneously, the sea of tribulation light and thunder began to display a variety of unusual colors, no longer pure silver. Among them were emerald green, azure blue, golden yellow, and more, representing tribulation thunderbolts of different dao attributes.
Once these dao-attribute tribulation thunders were added, their power inevitably increased by more than double, possessing a terrifying destructiveness capable of crushing and annihilating everything.
At this moment, Ye Chen stood tall, chaotic light swirling around him, with the myriad realms of the heavens evolving and intertwining. Stars accompanied him one after another, as if he were the Lord of All Heavens or an All-Heavens Divine Emperor descending, exuding an immortal and supremely powerful aura.
His expression was quite grave. He continuously elevated his own aura, sharply increasing his combat power many times over, to the point where half his body had broken into the Great Power realm, his aura also reaching an absolute peak.
Boom—
He raised his fist and shook it, unleashing a full one hundred and eight divine light dragons. Each divine light dragon represented a different dao—some of flame, some of ice, some of darkness, some of destruction, some of vitality, some of death...
One hundred and eight divine light dragons comprehensively bombarded the heavens, colliding head-on with the sea of tribulation light and thunder spanning hundreds of thousands of li, directly exploding. Each divine light dragon stretched for tens of thousands of li, a manifestation of the dao, how immortal, how extraordinary, tearing through the nine heavens and ten earths as they charged forward.
All onlookers were stunned. The Battle Saint King was too powerful. Ordinary people undergoing tribulation did so passively, protecting themselves and silently waiting for the tribulation to end and dissipate. Yet he took the initiative to meet it head-on, unleashing one shocking killing move after another, vowing to shatter the endless sea of tribulation light and thunder.
Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Battle Saint lineage, indeed domineering and forceful enough.
Boom, boom, boom—
Endless tribulation light continuously exploded as Ye Chen forcefully collided with the sea of tribulation light and thunder. But the second wave of the sea was many times more terrifying than the first, containing various dao attributes. It surged endlessly, grinding and shattering the divine light dragons one after another, and directly bombarded Ye Chen below.
"Cauldron Devours Heaven and Earth!"
With the Chaos Great Cauldron hovering above his head, Ye Chen let out a great shout, operating the Chaos Great Cauldron. He opened its mouth, from which a bottomless abyss appeared, infinitely deep, as if it could completely swallow all the heavens. It actually aimed at the endless sea of tribulation light and thunder and began to devour it like a whale.
Boundless tribulation light and thunderbolts transformed into streams of thunder energy, forcefully swallowed to fill the inner world within the Chaos Great Cauldron.
Boom, boom, boom—
Yet the thunderbolts within the sea of tribulation light were unceasing. Countless thunderbolts still rained down, each tens of thousands of li thick and long, resembling roaring Heavenly Dragons, terrifying as they swept toward Ye Chen at the center.
However, Ye Chen possessed the Chaos Saint Body, accompanied by primordial Chaos Qi. Even though some of those tribulation light thunderbolts, capable of splitting the void, contained extremely terrifying dao attributes, when they struck Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Body, they could not truly effectively harm him. Only white marks appeared on his skin, emitting wisps of green smoke, nothing more.
This sight also made countless people marvel. Was this the Chaos Saint Body? It was truly too extraordinary, stronger even than Great Power-level immortal ancient weapons, difficult to injure, difficult to decay.
It was hard to imagine that this was merely the immortal fleshly body of the Battle Saint King at the peak Heavenly King realm. If he reached the Great Power realm, his immortal Saint Body would undoubtedly ascend to another level, becoming even more terrifying. Perhaps by then, it might not be inferior to the supreme divine bodies of Ancient Monarchs.
Precisely because of this, it illustrated the Battle Saint King's boundless potential, leaving many in awe, while Qin Jiuyou was filled with even greater killing intent.
It was precisely such a Battle Saint King, brimming with potential, who must not be allowed to remain.
If he could not be captured to fulfill the Soul-Restraining Hall's grand, eternal ambition, then he could only be strangled in the cradle as soon as possible. He absolutely must not be allowed to grow freely. Otherwise, in the end, he would pose an unparalleled, immense threat to the entire Soul-Restraining Hall. Perhaps in the future, he might even achieve the realm of a Supreme Emperor and, in turn, annihilate the Soul-Restraining Hall in one fell swoop—not an impossibility.
"Ah—"
At this moment, Ye Chen let out a long roar, furiously attacking the nine heavens, his black hair suddenly standing on end!
He went against the heavens, taking the initiative to charge into the sky. His entire body erupted with chaotic light as he fiercely punched toward the heavens, one fist after another. Each fist contained his immortal divine might, imbued with his Chaos dao laws. Divine light gathered between his fingers and palms, its terror immeasurable.
Boom, boom, boom—
He met the multicolored, flashing sea of tribulation light and thunder, actively launching the most terrifying assault.
Crack—
Even the most vast sea of tribulation light and thunder could not withstand Ye Chen's ferocious fist strikes, all because his strength was truly peerless. The descent of each fist felt like the entire great world of heaven and earth crashing down, terrifyingly excessive, powerful to an extreme.
One could see swathes of tribulation light and thunderbolts being utterly annihilated, leaving nothing behind, truly reaching a level of power that made hearts tremble.
He was still only at the peak Heavenly King realm, not yet a Great Power. Yet the power he displayed far surpassed that of many Great Powers, enough to make even Great Powers tremble.
The Chaos young supreme, perhaps he was the number one beneath the Great Powers, just like the invincible Formless Sovereign of old, the number one in the same realm.
"Annihilate!"
Ye Chen uttered a light shout, his eyes blazing with divine light, chaotic energy surging within. Taking great strides, he unleashed the All-Heavens World-Destroying Seal.
Around him, vast worlds of heaven and earth appeared one after another, gray and misty—all skies, all worlds, all realms. Accompanied by a mighty dao authority, as his palm pushed out, it was as if the myriad realms of the heavens instantly blasted forward, crushing and shattering everything.
Boom—
Under this strike, all the oncoming tribulation light and thunderbolts were forcefully blasted into nothingness. Moreover, the impact spread to other areas, subsequently directly blasting the sea of tribulation light and thunder within a radius of a hundred thousand li into emptiness.
This scene made many suck in a cold breath; even many Great Powers felt their scalps tingle.
Such means surpassed ordinary Great Powers. To what extent did the Battle Saint King intend to defy heaven?
Yet the sea of tribulation light and thunder grew even more frenzied. Spanning a radius of hundreds of thousands of li, it could truly be called vast and boundless. At this moment, thousands upon thousands of tribulation light thunderbolts shot out. Each was as thick as a mountain range, like thunderbolts, carrying the most terrifying, world-destroying momentum as they bombarded forward.
One could say each was enough to make a Heavenly King's scalp tingle, let alone so many. An ordinary Great Power would inevitably be blasted to dust.
Yet Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. Accompanied by primordial Chaos Qi, he suddenly took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and swallowed, transforming into a bottomless abyss. The thousands upon thousands of terrifying tribulation light thunderbolts were directly swallowed into his belly, not a single one missing.
And he did not explode. On the contrary, all the tribulation light thunderbolts were directly devoured and even refined, for everyone clearly saw the Battle Saint King's entire body circulating with wisps of thunder light, his aura quietly growing stronger by a notch.
What kind of sorcery was this!
Many people jumped up. He had devoured so many terrifying tribulation light thunderbolts, yet was completely unharmed, standing there alive and well. Moreover, he had actually refined them, transforming them into divine energy within his body. Could he not be so heaven-defying?
Outside the Alchemy Ruins Ancient Realm, in the central square, a hazy figure secretly appeared. He merged with heaven and earth, coexisting with the ancient realm. No one could see his presence.
Because he was an Ancient Monarch!
A peerless, matchless Ancient Monarch turned his gaze, closely observing everything before him, seeing everything within the Alchemy Ruins Ancient Realm through the light screen.
Although he knew the Battle Saint King undergoing tribulation might very well cause the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea within the ancient realm to surge frenziedly, even ultimately collapse completely, causing extremely severe damage.
No one stopped it. Even the Ancient Monarch silently watched everything, as if very interested, or perhaps with other considerations.
Boom, rumble—
The terrifying great tribulation never ceased, for it was too vast, too terrifying, far beyond imagination, capable of annihilating all heavens.
Everyone could only watch helplessly as the Battle Saint King charged into the sea of tribulation light and thunder, resisting the tribulation of the heavens. They witnessed his peerless Chaos Saint Body, impervious to all tribulations, and beheld the most terrifying Chaos dao techniques, fundamentally impervious to all methods. Even the pouring sea of tribulation light and thunder could not harm his foundation. They saw only his one-man heaven-defying brilliance.
Countless members of the younger generation watched with boiling blood, whether from the outside world or the Alchemy Realm.
Ultimately, they were all of the younger generation, possessing corresponding fervor and considered outstanding talents themselves. But witnessing a peerless monstrous talent undergoing tribulation, even those old-generation sect-founder-level Great Powers admitted they were far inferior, filling them with yearning. They hoped one day to also reach this step, becoming a figure of worldwide attention.
Boom—
Accompanied by a world-shaking roar, they witnessed the Battle Saint King unleash a world-destroying strike capable of reducing a Great Power to ashes, directly tearing the vast sea of tribulation light and thunder in half, forcefully shattering it.
The immense sea of tribulation light and thunder ultimately could not withstand it and slowly dissipated.
Although it was known that this sea of tribulation light and thunder would eventually vanish, no one expected it to be so forcefully blasted apart by the Battle Saint King.
However, since the first wave had been shattered, although the current situation was similarly shocking, it was not unacceptable.
Yet it was destined that Ye Chen's great tribulation could not be merely this. Everyone understood that for such a most terrifying peerless monstrous talent, how could his great realm tribulation be so weak? It must be peerlessly terrifying.
Indeed—
Next, the third wave of the sea of tribulation light and thunder appeared, and even after Ye Chen spent half a day finally shattering it, the fourth wave appeared.
Fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth!
A full nine waves of the sea of tribulation light and thunder. The later the wave, the more terrifying and vast it became compared to the previous one, and the tribulation light thunderbolts contained within also grew many times more terrifying.
Moreover, what was most terrifying was that in the later stages, from the fifth to the ninth wave, the seas of tribulation light and thunder descended directly, covering the entire sky above the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea. The ninth wave was especially vast, reaching a full radius of ten million li.
And more importantly, above the ninth wave of the sea of tribulation light and thunder, a vast thunder light gate vaguely appeared!
