No one could remain calm, for this was impossible, far too shocking to the world. If word spread, even Ancient Great Emperors and Supreme Immortals would be stirred; it was a major event worthy of being recorded in the annals of history.
Ye Chen stood at the very center of the forty-nine Divine King Great Dao Origins. Above his head, the Chaos Great Dao rose and fell, remaining illusory all the while.
He whispered softly, "Now, I finally reach this step. Only by condensing a complete Divine King-level Chaos Great Dao Origin can it be considered truly reaching the Great Perfection!"
"Go!"
The Chaos Great Dao shot straight into the heavens, and immediately, the forty-nine Divine King Great Dao Origins surrounding him also surged upward, actually beginning to revolve around the Chaos Great Dao.
Everyone was stunned, for they all knew that the Battle Saint King intended to seize this opportunity to refine the Chaos Great Dao into the first-ever Divine King-level Chaos Great Dao Origin in history!
He intended to defy heaven!
When others condensed a Divine King Great Dao Origin, it was one supreme Great Dao with other dao principles revolving around it. But he was using numerous Divine King Great Dao Origins to encircle and elevate the Chaos Great Dao at the center, aiming to make it the strongest, most invincible, and sole Divine King-level Chaos Great Dao Origin.
Naturally, this was fundamentally a heaven-defying act. The Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation, which had not yet dispersed, became even more terrifying. It was as if the heavens themselves had been disturbed, descending an even more dreadful tribulation.
"Kill!"
Ye Chen was fearless. Carrying the Chaos Great Dao that was on the verge of taking form, his entire being transformed into a dazzling ray of chaotic light, shooting straight up into the sky and vanishing into the Chaos Source high above, from which the boundless Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation descended.
It was as if he was standing atop all the Daos of the myriad heavens to undergo his tribulation.
"Yue!"
Yu Qing and the others were filled with worry, unsure of what terrifying crisis Ye Chen would face this time, nor did they know where that mysterious Chaos Source led.
The Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation seemed to have returned to the Chaos Source, leaving only that vast and unfathomable Chaos Source hanging in the void. Nothing could be seen clearly, only terrifying fluctuations that could make even Quasi-Sovereigns pale continuously emanated forth, causing the starry sky to remain in a state of continuous, unstoppable collapse.
This tribulation lasted for an astonishingly long time, far beyond many people's expectations. A full ten days and ten nights passed, and it still hadn't ended.
No one could see what world-shaking tribulations erupted at the Chaos Source; chaotic qi obscured everything, and even Quasi-Sovereigns could not penetrate the source.
If not for the continuous transmission of world-shaking tribulation fluctuations, many would have thought that the Battle Saint King, who had recently become a Chaos Divine King, might have perished within during those past ten days and nights.
Finally, when everyone had waited to the point of losing patience, almost on the verge of contending for the Imperial Dao inheritance once more, the Chaos Source exploded. A figure drenched in blood fought its way out.
It was the Battle Saint King. He was undying and indestructible. Though his robes were stained with blood, his entire body radiated an incredibly powerful essence, spirit, and energy, shaking the mortal world and making the powerhouses of the myriad heavens tremble with fear.
He descended from the sky. No further tribulation descended from the Chaos Source, only the yet-to-disperse Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation continued to fall, completing its final, unfinished mission.
However, the Chaos Dao Weapons, divine islands, palaces, and Chaos Holy Spirits had all vanished. What remained were the Ten Heavens standing firm, along with the Ten Heaven's Avatars. As long as the tribulation did not disperse, they would not disperse.
At the very top, the Tenth Heaven's Avatar and the Qian Yue Samsara Body stood tall. One had transformed into a Chaos Divine King, the other was shrouded by a Samsara black hole behind it. Both appeared mysterious, undying and indestructible, having made Ye Chen pay a bloody, heavy price during the tribulation.
At the highest point, there was still that majestic gate of light formed from lightning, still present, recording the greatest secrets between heaven and earth.
Back then, Ye Chen could only charge over when the Great Ability Tribulation was dispersing. But now, he appeared much more composed. His strength was indeed greater, and the Ten Heaven's Avatars and the Qian Yue Samsara Body seemed sentient, not hindering him.
Ye Chen arrived before the gate of light. Wreathed in chaotic light, he forcefully pushed open the gate and looked inside at all the most mysterious things within.
Inside were Ancient Great Emperors, Supreme Immortals, and many ancient secrets, as if burying one epoch after another, interring far, far too much.
However, he did not enter, for he could not. Deep within, a Supreme Immortal seemed to have detected his presence. Infinite immortal majesty surged forth. Powerful as he was now, in the eyes of a Supreme Immortal, he was merely a tiny ant, not daring to trespass recklessly.
Although everything manifested by the heavenly tribulation, it all felt very real, as if existing in the world.
Finally, the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation dissipated. Infinite Myriad Dao Essence descended from the sky, transforming into a sea of divine radiance that submerged Ye Chen, carrying vast and mighty essence energy that made the powerhouses of the myriad heavens feel greedy.
For this was essence derived from the Divine King Tribulation, and even more so, the essence from the Ten Thousand Dao Divine King Tribulation, rare throughout ancient and modern times. It could greatly enhance a Divine King's form and spirit, let alone such a vast quantity; it could absolutely elevate one by a major level or more.
Ye Chen bathed within it. His limbs and hundreds of bones relaxed, and all thirty-six thousand pores on his body transformed into tiny black holes, wantonly devouring this sea-like torrent of essence power. His battered Chaos Saint Body recovered, and both his physique and soul underwent a leap in quality.
Unfortunately, he was ultimately too powerful; this leap was not significant.
Finally, he summoned the Chaos Great Cauldron, letting this cauldron float and be tempered within the Myriad Dao Essence, becoming even more powerful. A considerable amount still remained.
Among it, an immortal dragon-scale battle armor also appeared. It was bestowed by the old body of the Crimson Blood Dragon Emperor in the past, belonging to the Sovereign level. However, it only possessed the sturdiness and immortality of that level, lacking the corresponding power.
Ye Chen also began to refine it, using the Myriad Dao Essence to temper it once, integrating his own will into it, truly making it his own battle armor, clanging and ringing.
Of course, this was not for his own use. His strongest asset was his Immortal Saint Body; external battle armor was of little use.
Afterwards, a significant amount of Myriad Dao Essence still remained, so the Chaos Great Cauldron directly swallowed it, saving it for the cultivation of those around him.
Below him, an Immortal Pond appeared, immortal and indestructible. This was a heaven-defying Immortal Pond condensed from the Great Dao essence of fallen supreme powerhouses of the myriad heavens. It was extremely extraordinary, and it was by relying on this Immortal Pond that Ye Chen managed to take the final step and become a true Chaos Divine King.
Naturally, this was a heaven-defying immortal opportunity. Even after he underwent tribulation and achieved the Chaos Divine King realm, it had not diminished much. It remained as desired, as if containing infinite essence.
Before achieving the Chaos Divine King realm, Ye Chen had difficulty collecting the Immortal Pond, only able to carry it with him. But now, having achieved the Chaos Divine King realm, his Dao and techniques could reach the heavens. He grabbed this Immortal Pond, which would make countless powerhouses' eyes turn red with madness, and pulled it into his body, placing it at the center of his Chaos Small Universe, where it wantonly bloomed with billions of dazzling rays of light.
Naturally, at this moment, accompanying Ye Chen's achievement of the Chaos Divine King realm, the Chaos Small Universe within his body also underwent a tremendous leap. Its diameter now reached a full thousand zhang.
