Within the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation, two Ye Chens appeared, for he had manifested his Chaos Supreme Body.
The two Chaos Divine Kings charged forth, their combat prowess peerless, unmatched across the ages. They battled one Chaos Dao Weapon after another, clashed with the Chaos Holy Spirits of all heavens, and even faced the manifestation of the Ten Heaven's Avatars, descending from the Ten Heavens like ten of the strongest young generation's supreme Divine Kings, launching a joint assault to encircle and kill Ye Chen alone.
This tribulation was the most terrifying heavenly tribulation Ye Chen had ever encountered, unprecedented in its ferocity.
Even someone as powerful as him, having become a Chaos Divine King capable of sweeping through his peers—Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and the strongest young supremes—was not enough. For the tribulation was too boundless, too fearsome, descending endlessly, impossible to fully extinguish, and each manifestation was overwhelmingly strong.
Those divine islands and palaces charged forth, and layer upon layer of great worlds manifested.
The ten Heaven's Avatars were the most terrifying. The first to the ninth were like young Emperors taking action, but the Tenth Heaven was especially dreadful. He could not clearly see its true form, its silhouette hazy, and then it practically manifested another Ye Chen—a Chaos Divine King, unimaginably powerful, its body also radiating the most blazing Chaos light. In its attacks, it was not the slightest bit inferior to Ye Chen. Together with the other Heaven's Avatars, they struck him until his figure was sent flying repeatedly, continuously spilling Chaos blood.
If not for the Chaos Supreme Body, Ye Chen would have doubted whether he could survive this most terrifying first Divine King Tribulation.
Even so, within the great tribulation, his form and spirit were blasted apart a full thirteen times.
Yes, thirteen times!
Even someone as powerful as this Chaos Divine King had his form and spirit shattered thirteen times.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Chen could not have borne the cost of having his form and spirit blasted apart thirteen times. Even as the most monstrous Chaos young supreme, his origin would have been ground away to extinction.
Fortunately, he still had the Immortal Pond, the essence of the Great Dao of the supreme powerhouses of all heavens, containing life essence. Moreover, Ye Chen possessed a Life Origin, which allowed him to survive being blasted apart time and again.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor's deduction that he could only become a Chaos Divine King with the help of the Immortal Pond was not wrong, for only the Immortal Pond could allow him to recover continuously. Otherwise, after so many instances of being smashed to pieces, his Chaos Origin would have been utterly exhausted.
This great tribulation lasted a full day and night, and it was not over. On the contrary, it showed a tendency to intensify further.
Even someone as powerful as Ye Chen, having become an invincible Chaos Divine King with boundless divine power, now appeared weary.
For it was too arduous, a life-and-death struggle where he had been slain too many times.
The Chaos Dao Weapons, Chaos Divine Islands, and Chaos Palaces were not the most terrifying. The most fearsome were those Chaos Holy Spirits, truly lifelike, each possessing combat power rivaling the strongest young supremes, attacking together.
Even more terrifying, naturally, were the ten Heaven's Avatars. They were like the young eras of ancient Great Emperors, even wielding world-defying divine abilities. There were males and females, peerlessly elegant, yet utterly ruthless. The nine heavens combined their forces, attacking so that even a Chaos Divine King like Ye Chen had almost no chance to fight back, for their coordination was too seamless.
Furthermore, the most mysterious Tenth Heaven's Avatar was practically a second Ye Chen, manifesting as a Chaos Divine King descending.
Moreover, from the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation, a Samsara black hole appeared, from which walked out his past life—Qian Yue!
Although that was a Battle Saint Body, inferior to the Chaos Saint Body, it controlled the most mysterious Samsara power, incredibly enigmatic, capable of consigning all power to Samsara.
He, along with the Chaos Divine King that was the Tenth Heaven's Avatar, attacked, joined by the Nine Heavens and the Chaos Holy Spirits of all heavens.
No matter how powerful Ye Chen was, he was slain many more times.
Naturally, these Chaos Holy Spirits, Heaven's Avatars, Chaos Divine Kings, and Qian Yue's Samsara body were also blasted apart several times. In this process, he gained some profound, unknown insights, his comprehension deepening, and his Chaos Divine Power continuously grew.
Boom—
A tremendous explosion. Ye Chen was blasted into ashes once more. Even someone as powerful as a Chaos Divine King could not withstand it. Without the help of the Immortal Pond, his form and spirit would have perished long ago.
Outside, the powerhouses of all heavens watched with hearts pounding, for this Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation was terrifying beyond imagination. Divine Emperor Son, Chu Shenjun, Huang Yao, and later arrivals like Yu Wudi—veteran Divine King-level Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants—all had their expressions change repeatedly, turning gloomy. They knew that even if they were in this situation, they could not have done better than Ye Chen.
"Ah—"
With a great shout, Ye Chen struggled to regenerate flesh and blood from the tribulation ashes, restoring his original form. But the hope was clearly slim, for after a full day and night, the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation had not truly weakened; it still raged fiercely.
Ye Chen's Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation for advancing to Divine King was more difficult than anyone could have imagined, bordering on impossible to survive.
"Senior Brother!"
Qin Wushuang had long since rushed into the starry sky, speaking with concern: "Temporarily withdraw from this Divine King Tribulation. Continue accumulating."
"Right, as long as the green hills remain, there'll be no shortage of firewood," the Corpse-Devouring Insect Emperor also said.
Shan Ji spoke as well: "Accumulate for a few more decades, and you'll be able to safely pass this Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation."
Many relatives and friends urged him, for the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation was too difficult, unprecedented. Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants admitted it was countless times more severe than their own first Divine King Tribulations. It was no longer a matter of nine deaths and one life, but ten deaths and no life.
Ye Chen's Saint Body was battered and torn, but his posture remained proudly upright, not bending in the slightest. He shook his head: "This time, I will definitely become a Divine King!"
His words carried an unshakable, great will!
The others also knew they could not shake Ye Chen's determination and did not try to stop him further. But they had already thought of a plan: no matter what, they could not let Ye Chen perish here.
Boom—
Once again blasted apart, it was the joint attack of the Tenth Heaven's Avatar and Qian Yue's Samsara body that shattered his form and spirit.
This time, however, Ye Chen did not reassemble his human form. Instead, his form and spirit merged with the Chaos Great Cauldron, manifesting the Ten Thousand Daos.
On the cauldron's walls, the imprints of numerous supreme powerholders flickered faintly—those he had slain in the past, including Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and others—each one displaying a glorious, invincible battle record.
"Since the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation bullies the few with many, I can no longer passively face it alone. I have no choice but to do this."
From within the Chaos Great Cauldron came Ye Chen's calm voice.
The next moment, the Chaos Great Cauldron manifested figure after figure, all supreme powerholders he had slain in the past—such as Hao Gongtian, Mohe Imperial Maiden, Dark Heaven Imperial Son, Cang Heaven Imperial Son, Life Imperial Son, and also recently slain like the Bone Demon Imperial Clan's Imperial Maiden—manifesting before him, as if truly reappearing.
Such a terrifying lineup appeared, and because of Ye Chen's realm advancement, they had all reached the Divine King realm as well, extremely powerful and shocking.
At this point, the various powerholders had not expected the Battle Saint King to also master such an astonishing method.
In the distance, on the imperial tomb continent of the Bone Demon Ancient Sovereign, the quasi-monarch of this imperial clan suddenly turned grim: "So it was the human Battle Saint King who killed my clan's Imperial Maiden. He deserves ten thousand deaths!"
