Boom—
Nearly half of the Chaos Sacred Realm was shaken. The heavens collapsed and the earth split as an infinite great tribulation descended from the sky, submerging the firmament of nearly half a great domain. How vast and magnificent it was.
These were all legendary tribulations of the mythical grade, with Dao soldiers, living beings, and more manifesting within the tribulation. It was the legendary Myriad Dao Divine King Tribulation.
A beam of chaotic light pierced straight through the endless tribulation clouds, vanishing into the thirty-third layer of heaven.
Looking at the tall, heroic, and immortal figure within the beam of chaotic light, countless powerhouses across the fifteen great domains of the Chaos Sacred Realm, even those in the remote new five domains, witnessed this scene through the heavenly curtain projection and knew who that person was—
One of the strongest of the current younger generation, the master of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion who dominated the rise and fall of the Chaos Sacred Realm—
Battle Saint King!
Over the leisurely span of twenty years, Ye Chen had once again pushed the Dao of Chaos to a brand new height, undergoing the Myriad Dao Divine King Tribulation once more, sprinting towards an even higher realm.
Boom—
One earth-shattering roar after another shook the vast and boundless lands of several domains.
Ye Chen traversed the infinite great tribulation, shaking the mortal world.
In the end, after enduring all sorts of terrifying calamities, he stood sublimated to the extreme, becoming a Five Tribulation Chaos Divine King, surpassing his former self, his Divine King aura growing increasingly intense.
In the vast world, looking across the Divine King realm, he could hardly find many opponents.
As a Chaos Divine King, his strength back then had already approached that of an Eight or Nine Tribulation Divine King. Now, it was even more so, almost possessing the combat power of a peak Divine King.
Now, facing peerless Divine Kings like the Divine Emperor's Son, Chu Shenjun, Yu Wudi, and Huang Yao from back then, he would be even more composed.
Naturally, he did not presume he could absolutely defeat them. Such monstrous geniuses could cultivate for one year what others took decades or even a century to achieve. Over these twenty years, he had occasionally witnessed the appearance of some terrifying Divine King tribulations, not lacking in Myriad Dao Divine King Tribulations. It was likely they had successively become Seven Tribulation Divine Kings like Dao Youque, surpassing their former selves.
Of course, he was unafraid. All of this stemmed from his absolute confidence in his own strength.
Boom—
At the same time, in other great domains of the Chaos Sacred Realm, or deep within the starry sky, terrifying flashes of lightning appeared.
Ye Chen's gaze swept over, profound and far-reaching, reflecting the myriad heavens. He saw some familiar figures undergoing tribulation.
Some were Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao descendants, others were other geniuses and talents, and even older generation Divine Kings. Over the twenty years, they had naturally improved their strength successively, advancing further.
Over these twenty years, the Fallen Heaven Tomb had not completely fallen under the possession of the human race. During the resistance against the Chaos Burial Ground back then, forces like these Emperor Clans, Immortal Clans, Mythical Emperor Domains, and the God-Slaying Legion had all contributed. Therefore, in consideration of this, it was opened to them for comprehension.
Although the Fallen Heaven Tomb was of little use to Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao descendants, it was better than nothing.
The older generation Divine Kings, however, gained harvests by entering deeper areas to comprehend the Dao mysteries of Quasi-Sovereigns and Ancient Monarchs, thus also improving.
The God-Slaying Legion was even more so. Over the years, many Great Powers had comprehended the Dao within the Fallen Heaven Tomb, and quite a few had successively become Divine Kings.
Many from the Golden Crow Great Emperor's lineage had also entered the Fallen Heaven Tomb for comprehension, giving birth to two new Divine Kings.
It could be said that, overall, they had entered an even more glorious and prosperous era. From now on, Divine Kings, who were once lofty and unattainable, would no longer be rare, and Great Powers became a thing of the past.
Within the Chaos Heavenly Mansion, Ye Chen looked at A Beinu's increasingly swollen belly, feeling a slight headache. She really had learned from Yi Wu back then, perhaps needing a gestation period of a hundred years before giving birth.
Fortunately, he wasn't in a hurry. Generally speaking, the longer the gestation period, the greater the potential.
Take those Chaos Holy Spirits, for example. Which one didn't require tens or even hundreds of thousands of years of long gestation, possessing Supreme potential? In comparison, the fetus in A Beinu's belly was far inferior.
However, this referred to gestation time. In terms of potential, Ye Chen felt that this child of his would have heaven-defying potential.
Even the Golden Crow Great Emperor, Formless Sovereign, and Worldless Emperor Monarch, upon seeing this, all stated that the offspring in A Beinu's womb possessed Supreme potential, truly astonishing.
Moreover, during these twenty years, Ye Chen had even taken out the Heaven-Defying Immortal Pond, allowing A Beinu to immerse herself in it for cultivation at all times, letting the fetus in her womb continuously absorb the essence of the supreme powerhouses of the myriad heavens and ten thousand Daos, also slowly gestating and growing.
Although A Beinu was still only at the Half-Step Divine King stage, her accumulation was already more than sufficient. It was only because of the fetus that she hadn't undergone tribulation to become a Divine King. However, her abundant accumulation made her utterly unafraid of even the true Divine King-level strongest young supremes.
In the future, once she underwent tribulation, she would at the very least become a Two Tribulation Divine King.
This Immortal Pond was indeed heaven-defying. Even the Formless Sovereign, Golden Crow Great Emperor, and Worldless Emperor Monarch praised it, saying it was formed from the convergence of the Dao essence of the supreme powerhouses of the myriad heavens, not lacking in Ancient Monarchs and Emperor Monarchs, and even containing some Imperial Dao essence. It could be called heaven-defying. Cultivating within it for a long time could elevate one's Dao techniques to the extreme.
However, it was ultimately a consumable item. Even though it seemed plentiful, over twenty years, Ye Chen and his close friends and family cultivating within it had still consumed three-tenths of it.
Three-tenths might not seem like much, but one must know that this was condensed from the essence of countless supreme powerhouses who participated in the sealing battle of the Chaos Burial Ground back then. It was a truly massive amount, yet so much had been consumed in just twenty years.
If an Ancient Monarch were to enter and cultivate, it would probably be completely exhausted in less than ten years.
But over twenty years, their cultivation had improved by a large margin. The human race's Emperor Sons and Daughters and strongest young supremes had gradually surpassed other Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao descendants. Not by a huge amount, but at least by half a step.
For such supreme geniuses, this was quite astonishing.
As descendants of Supreme Ones, each possessed heaven-defying aptitude. Cultivating for one year could match what others took decades or even a century to achieve, all possessing Supreme potential.
Surpassing them in cultivation speed was extremely difficult, almost impossible.
But the Heaven-Defying Immortal Pond had allowed them to achieve just that, enabling the human race's Emperor Sons and Daughters and strongest young supremes to reach at least the peak of the Two Tribulation Divine King stage, with some even becoming Three Tribulation Divine Kings.
One must know that Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao descendants of the same period from the myriad heavens had basically just stepped into the Two Tribulation Divine King level. This showed how heaven-defying the Immortal Pond was, greatly increasing the cultivation speed of the human race's Emperor Sons and Daughters on their original foundation.
Now it was basically confirmed that the Immortal Pond was the heaven-defying supreme treasure mentioned by the Ancient Monarchs of the Ten Heavenly Emperor Palace, capable of allowing one to reach the Ancient Monarch level more quickly in a short time.
Indeed, if given to any single Emperor Son or Daughter or Immortal Dao descendant for cultivation, as long as it was completely consumed and refined, within a hundred years, they could become a true Ancient Monarch.
Otherwise, even for supreme geniuses like Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao descendants, and strongest young supremes, with astonishing, monstrous aptitude, it would be impossible to break through and become an Ancient Monarch within a hundred years.
Typical examples were Yu Qing, the Divine Emperor's Son, Chu Shenjun, and others who had stepped into the Divine King realm for many years. A hundred years had passed, and they were still Divine Kings, not even at the absolute peak. This showed how difficult it was to become an Ancient Monarch within a hundred years.
But the essence of the myriad heavens' supreme powerhouses contained within the Heaven-Defying Immortal Pond was enough to push anyone to that step within a hundred years.
Clearly, Ye Chen also understood the heaven-defying, world-defying nature of the Immortal Pond, yet he still did not monopolize it for himself alone.
At his level, hailed as a peerless Divine King, he had long since swept through the younger generation without equal. Even facing peerless Divine King geniuses like the Divine Emperor's Son, Chu Shenjun, Di Wentian, and Mo Shitian, he could engage in a frontal battle, and even defeat a fellow peerless Divine King like Dao Youque. This spoke volumes.
Moreover, Ye Chen deeply understood that no matter how strong he alone was, it would be useless. In the future, they would need to face the invasion of the alien ancient universe and the even more terrifying blood-stained future. He needed to elevate those around him together to have greater confidence in resisting.
If the human race gave birth to several Great Emperors, then they would have sufficient confidence to face many situations.
However, one thing made Ye Chen deeply wary: the Ten Heavenly Emperor Palace actually also knew of the existence of the Heaven-Defying Immortal Pond.
Could it be that the Ten Heavenly Emperor Palace had come to the old Origin Ancient Path many years ago, even reaching the Emperor War Battlefield, the Chaos Sacred Realm, and the Fallen Heaven Tomb?
But the Emperor Clan Qin Family guarding the Ninth Heavenly Pass of the old Origin Ancient Path had never encountered anyone crossing the Ninth Heavenly Pass area.
Precisely because of this, Ye Chen was very puzzled, feeling there were many mysteries here that could not be explained at present.
For the first time, Ye Chen felt the Ten Heavenly Emperor Palace was so unfathomable.
Indeed, despite the fact that the myriad heavens' Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans possessed Ancient Monarchs, the Ten Heavenly Emperor Palace could still remain so transcendent within the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, utterly unafraid of the joint attacks from the Ancient Monarchs of the myriad heavens' Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans. Behind it, there must be an unknown trump card.
And this trump card must be able to awe the current world!
Was it an ancient Great Emperor?
Ye Chen murmured to himself, his gaze looking towards the horizon as if he could see the Ten Heavenly Emperor Palace dominating the rise and fall of the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain.
Over the past twenty years, Ye Chen had only improved by one level. However, the main focus during these twenty years was consolidating his cultivation. This was because his promotion to Chaos Divine King this time had been too rapid, directly plunging him into the Fourth Divine King Tribulation, surpassing all previous instances.
One must know that in the past, he had at most reached the Third Heavenly Layer.
The higher the realm, the more difficult it was to improve levels. Ye Chen went against this trend, which could be called heaven-defying and astonishing.
Naturally, it was precisely because of this astonishing breakthrough and rapid improvement that his Dao foundation became slightly unstable, hence the need for consolidation.
It is worth mentioning that Ye Chen's internal Chaos Small Universe had been continuously expanding over the years, many times faster than before. It had now reached a diameter of three thousand zhang, several times larger than the thousand zhang diameter when he first advanced to Chaos Divine King, and it was constantly growing every moment.
Although this expansion wasn't very fast, it was still ongoing.
Within it, infinite specks of starlight were appearing. Those were all extremely miniature world heavens and earths, still in their most subtle embryonic forms, but each contained a trace of world power.
There were also infinite grains of sand appearing everywhere, the primitive forms of stars. As the Chaos Small Universe gradually expanded and grew, these dust-like grains of sand would eventually become the myriad heavens' stars hanging in the thirty-third layer of heaven, illuminating the myriad worlds.
As the Chaos Small Universe grew to a diameter of three thousand zhang, Ye Chen could mobilize more Universe Power.
This was the highest level of power, not inferior in the slightest to Supreme might, because it was the origin power of the highest-level world heaven and earth in the Chaos Sea, surpassing the Early Emperor Realm and Immortal Realm—it was Universe Power.
Although compared to those who could manipulate the origin power of entire vast worlds spanning millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of li, the amount of Universe Power Ye Chen could mobilize was not much. However, even just a single strand could easily suppress an ordinary Divine King, also serving as one of Ye Chen's trump cards.
If the Chaos Small Universe grew to a sufficiently massive level, Ye Chen believed he could suppress even an Ancient Monarch.
When it reached the true, boundless, perfect Chaos Ancient Universe, even Supreme Ones like Emperors and Immortals could be suppressed, even annihilated.
One must know that inheritors of the Emperor Dao and Immortal Dao, manipulating incomplete origin Emperor Realms and Immortal Realms, could also battle Ancient Monarchs. How terrifying would a Chaos Ancient Universe, countless times larger, be? Its majestic power was simply unimaginable, surpassing everything in the world.
Ye Chen believed that even the most powerful Emperors and Immortal Kings in the Chaos Sea, like the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, would likely be extremely wary.
At the same time, the World Tree Burial Coffin rooted at the center of the Chaos Small Universe began to slowly grow, flowing with a wisp of spiritual light, as if it wanted to completely return to its former complete World Tree form.
Rich space-time power manifested, interacting with the Chaos Small Universe.
Back then, Ye Chen had rooted the World Tree Burial Coffin at the center of the Chaos Small Universe precisely to utilize its space-time power to stabilize the Chaos Small Universe and prevent its collapse.
But over the years, as the Chaos Small Universe rapidly grew and expanded, it also fed back wisps of chaos origin power, causing the World Tree Burial Coffin to seem to revive from its deathly still state, awakening all vitality.
One must know that the World Tree Burial Coffin back then was taken by a certain peerless Supreme One to bury themselves.
But the Supreme One's corpse had disappeared for unknown reasons. The World Tree Burial Coffin retained its tree-like form, but only a faint, almost imperceptible spiritual light remained, seemingly a fragment of the original World Tree's soul.
Now, receiving the feedback and nurturing from the Chaos Small Universe, the World Tree Burial Coffin wanted to repair its damaged soul and begin to regenerate and grow.
Regarding this, Ye Chen wasn't sure whether it was good or bad. But considering it was a descendant of the Space-Time Great Emperor, and he himself had received the Space-Time Great Emperor's favor, no matter what, he could not erase that seemingly reborn and gestating intelligence.
Therefore, in the end, Ye Chen decided to temporarily leave it be. However, if the soul of the World Tree Burial Coffin tried to seize his Chaos Small Universe, even if it was a descendant of the Space-Time Great Emperor, he would have to take action to erase that soul fragment.
He believed even the Space-Time Great Emperor himself would have nothing to say about this.
Additionally, the Supreme Being suspected to be a descendant of the Crimson Blood Dragon Emperor had completed two transformations and once again entered a light cocoon, as if it wanted to undergo transformation after transformation continuously, not emerging, directly completing the Ten Revolutions Heaven-Defying Transformation and reaching the final Supreme realm.
This gave one food for thought.
Regarding this little being, even the Formless Sovereign, Golden Crow Great Emperor, and Worldless Emperor Monarch had inspected it several times, finding it very special. They discovered that Supreme imprints actually shone within, blocking others' inspection, which surprised them. They believed it was highly likely to truly be a descendant of that mysterious Crimson Blood Dragon Emperor.
Both Supreme Ones suggested Ye Chen focus on nurturing it, as it might become another Supreme One in the future, following him in battle.
Ye Chen naturally had the same thought.
