Ye Chen's slender figure flickered in and out of view amidst the primordial Chaos Qi. At times, one could see bubbles continuously emerging around him. Initially, they were wrapped in primordial Chaos Qi, but then the bubbles burst, and the Chaos Qi transformed into black and white colors.
The black sank down, becoming the earth.
The white rose up, becoming the heavens.
That was actually Heaven and Earth Creation, and each chaos bubble represented one instance of creation. Yet around him, chaos bubbles were continuously creating heavens and earth, birthing worlds one after another, evolving the profound mysteries of the myriad laws of heaven and earth.
Similarly, after creating heaven and earth, the chaos bubbles would quickly reach their end. The worlds would collapse, the heavens and earth would be destroyed, returning once more to chaos.
Ye Chen paid no heed to this. He sat cross-legged at the center of countless chaos bubbles, allowing them to continuously create heavens and earth and then fall into destruction, repeating the cycle endlessly.
He remained seated there all along, and behind him, ten layers of divine halos manifested.
The ten divine halos intertwined with each other. Each divine halo seemed to represent an ancient universe, exuding different cosmic auras—there was immortal radiance, divine radiance, evil demonic radiance, and even the radiance of reincarnation, all incredibly mysterious and transcendent.
Although he was still in a state of deep cultivation, waves of extremely fearsome fluctuations emanated from his body, startling the others cultivating within the immortal pond. Each of them revealed expressions of astonishment.
Among them, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor had transformed into a ten-zhang-long purple-gold divine dragon. Its entire body shimmered with purple-gold dragon scales, radiating a majestic Divine King-level dragon might, far surpassing that of ordinary Divine Kings by an unknown degree.
Seventeen years of cultivation had brought it significant progress. On one hand, it absorbed the essence of the immortal pond; on the other, it closely comprehended the Great Dao legacies of the Ancient Sovereigns and even the Emperor.
Although the Great Dao legacies were incomplete, even a fraction of the Great Dao mysteries from such supreme experts held immense benefits for cultivators below the Sovereign realm, let alone far more than just a fraction of these fragmentary legacies. Its gains had been enormous, and over these years, it had undergone the Divine King tribulation more than once.
Now, it was a True Dragon Divine King within the Five Tribulation Divine King category. Its strength was so formidable it could rival a Seven or Eight Tribulation super Divine King.
Yet, despite possessing such cultivation, even it felt the terrifying nature of Ye Chen at the center of the great tomb at this moment. It sensed a tremor, as if facing a slumbering mythical Heavenly Venerable-level great menace. Once awakened, it could completely tear and shatter this heaven and earth.
"Ye is at the most critical juncture. Judging by his fluctuations, he is clearly on the verge of a breakthrough. Once he breaks through, it will surely be earth-shattering."
A Beinu spoke, gently stroking her round, bulging belly, radiating a sacred maternal glow, so stunningly brilliant.
Seventeen years had passed, yet strangely, she still had not given birth. However, everyone knew how extraordinary the fetus in her womb was, containing a fluctuation that even Divine Kings found astonishing, truly remarkable.
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor also nodded, then sank back into cultivation.
Within the several Sovereign great tombs, the fluctuations from Ye Chen's body grew increasingly intense, causing the massive, towering Sovereign great tombs in the deepest part of the Burial Heaven Mound to tremble slightly, a sight that inspired awe. One could only wonder what scene would unfold when he truly emerged from seclusion.
...
"Humans, stop hiding! Come out immediately! Hand over the Burial Heaven Mound! Otherwise, you will face the forces of the All Heavens! No matter how strong your human race is, you will ultimately be annihilated!"
Over the Canglan Divine Sea, a great shout exploded forth, amplified by divine power, spreading across the world, drawing the attention of the entire Ancient Domain of Heaven.
The Canglan Divine Sea itself exploded with towering, terrifying waves!
Boom—
The Canglan Divine Sea erupted, and a massive whale appeared. Its entire body was purple-black, appearing exceptionally fearsome. Although only a section of its body surfaced above the sea, its eyes were larger than meteors, gazing at the divine ships of the various races. Despite facing the armies of the myriad races of the All Heavens, it showed no fear whatsoever.
It did not transform into human form, revealing only a section of its body, terrifyingly large. It spoke coldly, "I care not if you attack the humans. But this is my Canglan Divine Sea territory, not a place to be lightly tread upon. Leave at once."
"It's a Star Whale! To think such a Primordial Sacred Beast would appear in this Canglan Divine Sea."
The experts of the All Heavens were slightly startled. The Star Whale belonged to a type of Primordial Sacred Beast. This giant whale sacred beast was a rarity among rarities, few in number but possessing extremely powerful Bloodline Power, almost second only to Emperor bloodlines.
At birth, they are at the Transformation God realm; in youth, they can become Sacred Treasuries; upon adulthood, they can reach Heavenly King. Among them, pure-blooded Star Whales can even become Great Abilities upon reaching adulthood.
Although this Star Whale before them only revealed a section of its body, the body beneath the divine sea was at least tens of thousands of li long. This meant it was at the very least a Half-Step Divine King-level Star Whale, a standout among its kind.
"Hmph, a mere Half-Step Divine King from the demon race dares to clamor? Kill it!"
On a royal clan divine ship, that clan's Divine King ancestor snorted coldly.
Although only a Two Tribulation God King and quite aged with somewhat depleted vitality, backed by the Imperial Clans and Immortal Clans of the All Heavens, he had no fear. He also intended to curry favor with the Imperial and Immortal Clans. He unleashed a Divine King divine ability, gathering the power of heaven and earth across tens of thousands of li to form a Heaven-Slashing Blade tens of thousands of li long, slashing towards the giant whale.
Wherever the Heaven-Slashing Blade passed, the void was torn to dust!
A Half-Step Divine King facing it would be directly annihilated!
"A mere Two Tribulation God King dares to attack me, Canglan? Die!"
The giant whale roared, its voice shaking the entire Canglan Divine Sea. The Heaven-Slashing Blade formed from Great Dao laws directly exploded above its head, turning to ashes.
Simultaneously, a beam of Divine King radiance descended from the sky, directly striking that Two Tribulation God King.
Boom—
The mere Two Tribulation God King was directly blasted into dust before this beam of Divine King radiance, along with all the royal clan experts on the royal clan divine ship, all turned to ashes.
"Canglan? You are the Canglan Divine King?"
The armies of the myriad races of the All Heavens were all shocked, for the Canglan Divine King was the overlord of the Canglan Divine Sea, having suppressed this divine sea for many tens of thousands of years—an extremely powerful peak Divine King, far surpassing ordinary Divine Kings for many years. They never expected him to appear today.
The giant whale shook its body, and its immense, colossal figure suddenly vanished. The sea surface was left with a massive void over two hundred thousand li long, causing boundless seawater to pour in, gradually filling it.
And in the sky above, a tall and burly human figure appeared, about one zhang and seven or eight tall, clad in black battle armor. His entire body exuded a powerful aura that dominated the All Heavens, like a peerless Sovereign, akin to a supreme being, looking down upon the myriad realms.
The divine sea beneath him boiled and surged, rising up and erecting massive divine pillars that propped him up, as if he were the master of the All Heavens.
"Peak Divine King? No, he's a Quasi-Sovereign!"
The armies of the All Heavens all changed color. If he were a peak Divine King, though still astonishing, they could still deal with him. But a Quasi-Sovereign belonged to another category of supreme being altogether, not so easy to handle.
