Boom—! The Emperor battle concluded!
Within, supreme immortal blood dyed the heavens, and a broken immortal's arm was severed and left behind, departing unwillingly while casting a cold gaze at the opponent: "Today you severed one of this immortal's arms. In the future, I will demand tenfold repayment from you."
Opposite, the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord stood peerlessly majestic, towering over the heavens, his hands clasped behind his back as he spoke indifferently: "Come if you dare!"
Due to the defeat of the Supreme Immortal, the other Emperor also ceased to act, and the opposing army retreated.
However, when Ye Chen saw that severed immortal's arm, the shock in his heart was unparalleled, for it was exactly the same as the Immortal's Broken Arm he had obtained at the auction, even the aura was identical.
So it was actually the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord who had truly severed the opponent's Immortal's Broken Arm.
But this Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord was not the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord he knew, for the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord Ye Chen was acquainted with was not nearly this powerful, nor had he ever been so formidable. This made Ye Chen increasingly curious about the identity of this Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord.
At this moment, the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord looked toward Ye Chen. His gaze was not sharp; on the contrary, it appeared gentle as he spoke softly: "Although I do not know who you are, I sense a profound causality between us, as if we have met before. However, your body bears immense causal forces, and I cannot recklessly break through them. But you are not a being of this world; it is not suitable for you to remain here for long, or you will bear a great causality from this world that you should not obtain. Return."
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord gently flicked his sleeve, and a gentle, mighty force of the Great Dao appeared, enveloping Ye Chen entirely before propelling him into the distance, directly toward the location of the gate of light formed by thunder. He whispered: "Return. This is not a place for you to linger. The other side of the gate is where you belong."
Amidst this, a stream of light shot over—it was precisely the severed Immortal's Broken Arm, though formed by the heavenly tribulation. The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord had also sent it over, merging it into Ye Chen's body and into the Immortal's Broken Arm within him. The voice of the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord echoed: "An identical Immortal's Broken Arm may be the best testament to different times and spaces. Consider it a gift from me. Treasure it well."
Boom—!
The severed Immortal's Broken Arm possessed even greater vitality. When the two identical Immortal's Broken Arms combined, they immediately began to glow. The blood that had lost most of its divine nature became increasingly vivid and vibrant, and the killing intent within was completely dissolved, leaving behind a pure segment of immortal flesh—the Immortal's Broken Arm, rich with immortal aura yet without oppression or terror.
"But—"
Ye Chen very much wanted to stay and ask the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord a few questions. Even though the one before him was not the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord he knew, he was still gentle toward him. Ye Chen wanted to understand some truths.
However, the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord seemed to know what he was thinking and said: "Your era and time-space are different from mine. You should not ask, for it would involve the most terrifying causality. What you should know, you will learn in due time. What you should not know, learning it now would bring upon you the most dreadful causality, which would be the greatest mistake for you. Return to the other side, cultivate diligently. No matter what happens in the future, there will eventually be a time when we meet again."
Would they truly meet again?
Ye Chen's eyes grew moist, and he felt the urge to shed tears. Yet before he could say anything, he was blasted away, rushing out to the other side of the gate of light formed by thunder. At that very moment, the gate of light formed by thunder completely closed, never to open again.
Simultaneously, the heavenly tribulation rumbled, and the gate of light formed by thunder dissipated at this moment, completely turning to ashes.
The great tribulation had officially ended!
Yes, from this moment on, Ye Chen's Great Power Tribulation had officially concluded. Everything was over. He had succeeded completely, breaking through into the Great Power realm.
From now on, he was a true Chaos Great Sage!
However, Ye Chen felt little joy, for he was still thinking about everything within the gate of light formed by thunder, especially the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord within.
Would they truly meet again in the future?
He hoped it would be so.
Seeing the many powerhouses in the outside world, Ye Chen understood that the flow of time within the heavenly tribulation world was different. Many years might have passed inside, but only a short time had passed in reality—perhaps not even half a day.
The powerhouses of the heavens all looked at Ye Chen, curious about what the Battle Saint King had experienced on the other side of the gate of light formed by thunder.
But since Ye Chen did not speak, they dared not press him, only sensing that the aura emanating from the Battle Saint King had become increasingly sharp and imposing.
After the Great Power Tribulation, Ye Chen acted as usual, directly devouring the vast heavenly tribulation that had not yet completely dissipated. Under the stunned gazes of everyone, he grabbed the vast sea of tribulation lightning in the sky, refined it all into a single mass, and swallowed it directly, replenishing the depleted divine energy within his body to the greatest extent.
At this moment, Ye Chen stood tall, emanating a terrifying Great Power-level aura unlike any before. Even Great Power-level young supremes like Fei Tuo and Dan Yang seemed so weak before him. Only the Imperial Maiden on the other side, who had fully activated her Emperor's bloodline, could compare.
The two Emperor-level prodigies gazed at each other from afar, both radiating intense fighting spirit—pure fighting spirit, not hostility.
Having just become a Chaos Great Sage, Ye Chen was eager to test his current combat power. At the very least, he was much stronger than before he became a Great Power, with a significant improvement. Dueling the Imperial Maiden would be the best way to test it.
However, the clansmen of the Alchemy Emperor Clan obviously would not allow Ye Chen to act recklessly, as the Imperial Maiden was the most noble. This left Ye Chen somewhat disappointed.
Yet soon, he looked toward the distant sky where the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power was quietly preparing to escape.
Among them, the three Hall Masters had already left this place the moment the alien Ancient Universe passage collapsed and vanished. However, Qin Jiu You and several other Great Powers had been left behind.
As if sensing his gaze, the remaining Qin Jiu You and several Soul-Restraining Hall Great Powers changed their expressions and hurriedly rushed into the distance, toward the Dan Realm, intending to leave this place.
But with the presence of the Ancient Monarchs here, how could they allow these traitors of the Soul-Restraining Hall to leave? Among them, Monarch Yan directly sealed the heavens and earth, preparing to take action. However, Ye Chen spoke up: "Senior, please allow this junior to deal with them."
"Good!"
If any other young junior had spoken, he would not have agreed so readily. But Ye Chen was the true great hero, having used the heavenly tribulation to destroy the alien Ancient Universe's cross-border passage and prevent the descent of the five alien Emperors. They all had to show him respect.
At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly attacked!
Boom—!
It was as if a true Supreme Emperor had struck. The entire heavens and earth suddenly shook violently, and the Ten Great Fortresses trembled. The powerhouses of the heavens all revealed looks of astonishment.
So strong! So fast!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen had rushed to the extreme distance. After reaching the Great Power realm, his speed had become even faster, surpassing common sense and enough to look down upon all Great Power experts of the heavens. He descended before the several Soul-Restraining Hall Great Powers in the distance.
Though he had only just stepped into the Great Power realm, his entire body radiated a terrifying, peerless Great Power-level aura that blotted out the heavens and covered the earth. It left several fifth-level Great Powers completely stiff, as if frozen solid, unable to move.
