"Yue, if it really comes to it, just say the word. Stopping these two is no problem."
Yu Qing swept her cold gaze towards the Divine Emperor's Son and Chu Shenjun, standing like an empress as she released an unparalleled aura of the Great Dao, not inferior to either of them. She belonged to the most powerful tier among Divine King-level Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants, having established herself in this realm many years ahead of others.
"Alright!"
Ye Chen did not refuse. He then rose to his full height from the Immortal Pond, looking towards the Divine Emperor's Son, his expression suddenly turning cold. "Divine Emperor's Son, did the Human Emperor's Son die by your hand?"
The Divine Emperor's Son's expression was indifferent, utterly disdainful of answering. He strode forward, saying coldly, "Leave the Immortal Pond. You are too weak. This is not something you are capable of possessing."
On the other side, Chu Shenjun also walked forward, revealing a gentle smile. "Battle Saint King, what he says is correct. I advise you to leave quickly, lest you get hurt."
Clearly, the two veteran Divine King-level Imperial Sons and Immortal Dao Descendants did not take Ye Chen seriously.
Perhaps he was astonishing, capable of slaying the Cangtian Imperial Son, but he was merely a one-tribulation Divine King. They had surpassed this realm many years ago, progressing by leaps and bounds over the years, becoming many times stronger.
The other twelve Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants were all on high alert, yet they did not retreat. Instead, they secretly nodded to each other, choosing to form a temporary alliance. Only by doing so at this moment could they contend against the two peerless supreme powerhouses, the Divine Emperor's Son and Chu Shenjun.
This was not a disgrace. Whether it was the Divine Emperor's Son or Chu Shenjun, both were high-level Divine Kings. In a battle of the same level, they naturally had no fear, but having only just stepped into the Divine King realm within the last twenty years, forming an alliance to resist the enemy was necessary.
"Is that so? You don't take me seriously."
Ye Chen gave a faint smile, seemingly tinged with a hint of self-mockery. But when he looked at the Divine Emperor's Son and Chu Shenjun, he stood with his hands behind his back, his posture proud and upright. Suddenly, an imperial bearing bloomed from him as he said coldly, "Do you truly think I am inferior to you?"
"Scram!"
The Divine Emperor's Son was engulfed in stellar radiance, as if all the stars of the heavens were about to manifest, swirling around his body. From his gaze, a pair of Heavenly Dao swords descended, seemingly representing the Heavenly Dao itself, slashing towards Ye Chen.
The terror of this pair of Heavenly Dao swords was such that even the other Divine King-level Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants were on high alert. It was highly likely they could cleave open an Imperial Son's divine body.
But Ye Chen remained motionless, neither leaving nor making a move to block. This caused the other Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants to frown. Where did the Battle Saint King get the confidence to be unafraid of the Divine Emperor's Son's Heavenly Dao swords falling upon him? Even they, as powerful as they were, viewed them with extreme caution.
Boom—
Suddenly, the heavens split and the earth cracked, the starry sky exploding.
Without any warning, without the slightest forewarning, billions upon billions of thunderbolts descended from the sky, heavily bombarding this stretch of starry sky. The two Heavenly Dao swords were submerged and then shattered.
"What!?"
The twelve Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants were blasted into confusion by this sudden thunderstorm, each sent flying a great distance. Their skin was torn and flesh lacerated, covered in scorch marks, appearing quite disheveled.
They had no idea what had just happened. Immediately, endless thunderbolts fell, and the power of these thunderbolts was beyond imagination. Powerful as they were, Divine King-level Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants were injured. Even if it was just some superficial wounds, it was astonishing enough.
It must be understood that they were not ordinary Divine Kings, being far more powerful by an unknown degree. Their physiques were such that even ordinary Divine King Dao Weapons found it difficult to harm them. Yet now, they were blasted until their skin split and flesh tore—something unimaginable under normal circumstances.
If ordinary Divine Kings were here, they would likely be severely injured, or even perish and be destroyed.
When they looked over, they found that ten thousand layers of heavenly thunder had completely submerged this stretch of starry sky. There was no Battle Saint King, nor the Divine Emperor's Son or Chu Shenjun—only boundless thunder, transforming into a terrifying tribulation land.
Powerful as they were, they couldn't help but involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva, because this thunder was truly extraordinary, carrying the aura of the myriad daos of the heavens.
Looking towards the highest point of the firmament, there was a mass of chaos. The endless thunder descended from there, as if piercing through the Chaos Sea.
The terrifying tribulation light was more dazzling than the sun. Even though the battle for the Sovereign Dao inheritance on the five Sovereign Tomb continents was fierce, it was also startled by this phenomenon because it was too vast, its fluctuations boundless, affecting too vast an area. Countless stars were reduced to ashes within the thunder tribulation, vanishing forever.
"What a terrifying great tribulation! Who is contending to cross this supreme great tribulation?"
"The great tribulation contains the aura of countless Great Daos, as if it contains all ten thousand daos. My heavens, could it be the legendary Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation?"
"Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation? You're not joking, are you? That's generally the most powerful tribulation that only appears after the seventh Divine King Tribulation! Moreover, only the most exceptional peerless geniuses in history can attract such a terrifying great tribulation!"
Everyone was startled. No matter who they were, they had to be startled because the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation was far too terrifying. It was no exaggeration to say it was rare throughout the ages. In fact, it was far more horrifying than what people imagined.
Such a great tribulation was simply not something an ordinary Divine King could withstand.
In fact, according to records in ancient texts or other relics, throughout the ages, even many Divine Kings had never encountered the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation because it was too monstrous. Only peerless geniuses rare throughout the ages could encounter it, and it would only gradually appear after the seventh Divine King Tribulation.
On the Sovereign Tomb continent of the Ao Sovereign, the human race side all changed expressions because they knew it was not a peak Divine King undergoing tribulation. The true tribulation crosser was the Battle Saint King. He was finally taking that step, beginning to contend and cross that most terrifying Divine King Tribulation.
Sure enough, as a Chaos Young Supreme, his first Divine King Tribulation was the most terrifying Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation.
"Senior Brother!"
Qin Wushuang exclaimed in shock, looking towards the endless, horrifying great tribulation deep in the starry sky, his heart trembling with awe. Even he, a Divine King-level strongest young supreme, felt a sense of heart-pounding terror.
"The Battle Saint King is finally undergoing tribulation!"
"As expected, it's the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation for him!"
"Brother Ye is truly a heaven-defying genius!"
The other human race Imperial Sons and Daughters all sighed with emotion. Such a terrifying Divine King Tribulation—in the vast world, how many people could withstand it? It was powerful beyond imagination. The entire star domain was blasted into ashes in an instant, which spoke volumes.
Even the Quasi-Monarchs engaged in fierce battles across the heavens were somewhat shocked. They all knew the terror of this Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation.
Perhaps with their Quasi-Monarch cultivation, they could withstand it, but it also depended on the realm. If the other party's realm was only at the seventh Divine King Tribulation, once converted to the Quasi-Monarch level, it would become countless times more terrifying. They might not be able to withstand it either.
