Ye Chen frowned. Those words were spoken by a powerhouse from the Ultimate Ancient Path and had some verification behind them.
Moreover, throughout the ages, many Emperors and Supreme Immortals had participated in opening the Origin Ancient Path. Undoubtedly, even the wisest people in the world like Emperors and Supreme Immortals believed the Origin Land truly existed. Otherwise, why would they persevere unwaveringly on this path?
Pohan Divine King looked at Ye Chen. At this moment, his gaze seemed mysterious, unfathomable, with profound meaning. He said, "One day, when you reach that realm, perhaps you will understand the meaning of my words today."
Ye Chen was slightly startled. Could it be that Pohan Divine King had been to that Origin Land?
But he quickly dismissed the thought. Although Pohan Divine King was powerful, comparable to an Imperial Son at the Divine King level, the Origin Land was a place sought after by Ancient Great Emperors and Supreme Immortals. How could he possibly have reached it?
Buzz—
At the same time, the Chaos Great Cauldron trembled repeatedly, and two figures rushed out. They were none other than the two Third Calamity Divine Kings who had been in seclusion comprehending the Conceptual Realm. At this moment, strands of supreme divine energy fluctuations swirled around them, the illusory power trembling between heaven and earth, shocking everyone's hearts.
"Saint King!"
As soon as the two Third Calamity Divine Kings emerged from seclusion, they respectfully and reverently cupped their fists and bowed to Ye Chen and his two wives.
Sensing the fluctuations from them, Ye Chen and the others smiled. "It seems your seclusion during this period has successfully allowed you to comprehend Conceptual Realm power. Congratulations!"
"We owe it all to the Saint King's teachings!"
The two Third Calamity Divine Kings spoke in succession. Having reached this step, they could be considered individuals who had comprehended the Conceptual Realm. Among Divine Kings, they could now be counted as truly established powerhouses.
Otherwise, although they were previously said to have undergone three Divine King calamities, in the eyes of truly powerful Divine Kings, they were still ordinary.
Only Divine Kings who had comprehended the Conceptual Realm could be considered truly powerful Divine Kings!
"Since you've comprehended the Conceptual Realm, you also have the qualification to attempt the fourth Divine King calamity," Yu Qing said. "Why not take advantage of today? We'll protect you as you undergo the fourth Divine King calamity. How about it?"
"Thank you, Mistress!"
The two Third Calamity Divine Kings were overjoyed and excited as they bowed.
Boom—
The first to undergo the tribulation was the Imperial Clan Divine King. He charged forward, facing the thousand Divine King calamities, no less formidable than the Human Sovereign's Son's Divine King calamity from before, even more intense. The Great Dao tribulation light that appeared was even more terrifying, rumbling down.
After all, he was from an Imperial Clan and also a veteran Divine King. Having even comprehended the Conceptual Realm, possessing two Divine King Great Dao sources combined with the Conceptual Realm, he charged into the terrifying hundred-thousand-mile-wide Divine King calamity vortex, officially beginning his breakthrough.
The fearsome Divine King calamity affected who knew how many tens of thousands of miles of the Golden Crow Imperial Domain, causing quite a commotion. It even alarmed many powerhouses from Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Imperial Domains within this territory. Sensing the terrifying nature of that Divine King calamity, each one felt their hearts tremble.
Four-Calamity Divine King!
However, few dared to make a move. First, because the one undergoing the tribulation was an Imperial Clan Divine King, originally at the Third Calamity Divine King level, with extraordinary strength.
Second, because Battle Saint King and the others were closely watching nearby. Although it wasn't clear what relationship the undergoing Imperial Clan Divine King had with Battle Saint King, the husband and wife trio subtly surrounded the Imperial Clan Divine King, as if ready to act, making others dare not act rashly.
Boom—
The fourth Divine King calamity was terrifying, affecting an unknown area. Many continent fragments in this region collapsed.
The Imperial Clan Divine King, though strong, wasn't as relaxed as the Human Sovereign's Son had been in the past. Carrying two Divine King Great Dao sources and one Conceptual Realm, he charged through the vast Divine King calamity, like struggling across a bitter sea, fighting in and out seven times, occasionally shedding blood.
After half a day, the Imperial Clan Divine King finally succeeded in his breakthrough, becoming a Four-Calamity Divine King. His Divine King majesty deepened, though his aura was also weak, severely depleted and heavily wounded.
The gradually dissipating Divine King calamity transformed into numerous Great Dao divine energies, rushing toward the blood-covered Imperial Clan Divine King below to strengthen his form and spirit.
Each time one underwent a Divine King calamity, after enduring the tribulation, both form and spirit would be comprehensively elevated by a large margin.
Among them, a tribulation light suddenly descended from the sky, directly rushing toward the Divine King's brow, arousing everyone's envy.
Because this was the reward of the fourth Divine King calamity, also known as the Spiritual Calamity. This tribulation light was the Spiritual Aperture Light. Once refined, it would grant spiritual enlightenment, allowing one to connect with heaven through the heart and comprehend the Conceptual Realm.
In the shadows, many people watched covetously. Such a Spiritual Aperture Light, if obtained, even if one wasn't a Four-Calamity Divine King, could begin comprehending the Conceptual Realm, becoming a monstrous existence comparable to Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, or Immortal Dao descendants.
Even quite a few Divine Kings moved. The greedy light shooting from their eyes was like that of wild beasts. Their figures burst into motion, rushing over like lightning, aiming for that Spiritual Aperture Light.
Moreover, now a Four-Calamity Divine King was severely wounded, and he likely possessed many divine treasures. Seizing this opportunity to strike had a high chance of success.
Boom—
At this moment, Ye Chen stepped forward. A circle of Great Dao ripples spread out from under his feet, lightning-fast, impacting the five charging Divine Kings.
Those Great Dao ripples contained unimaginable power, as if countless stars were colliding one after another, forcing the five Divine Kings' figures to halt abruptly. They were as if struck by lightning, nearly bleeding, looking at Ye Chen with some horror.
Had Battle Saint King's cultivation now reached such a level?
It also made everyone's pupils contract. Their movements slowed, fists clenched. Was Battle Saint King going to intercept it?
But what made everyone's scalps tingle was that Ye Chen did not attack the Imperial Clan Divine King. On the contrary, after that Spiritual Aperture Light entered the Four-Calamity Divine King's soul, he took away his severely wounded body, offered a divine pill for him to take. Immediately, his entire body shone with majestic light, all injuries rapidly recovering.
Majestic Divine King pressure spread across heaven and earth, vast in all directions, making everyone's hearts tremble anxiously. He had truly become a Four-Calamity Divine King.
"This—"
This scene truly shocked everyone's minds. Battle Saint King didn't seize the opportunity to attack but instead saved that Imperial Clan Divine King. Such a scene was quite puzzling.
However, the matter of Ye Chen subduing five Divine Kings in the past hadn't spread.
Similarly, because of Ye Chen's intervention, others watching covetously didn't dare make a move, fearing it would provoke Battle Saint King's retaliation.
This was a world-renowned great killing star. Few in heaven or earth dared to provoke him casually. He had suppressed and slain a batch of Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants.
"Thank you, Master, for saving me," the Imperial Clan's Four-Calamity Divine King said, disregarding others' gazes as he bowed respectfully, his respect coming from the heart.
