Desolate Ancient Fortress.
The mysterious old man, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but smile. "This Battle Saint King truly is an extraordinary troublemaker, attracting so many Quasi-Monarchs to hunt him down. But never mind, when you are powerless, this old man will protect your path and sweep away these worthless rabble."
If anyone else heard this, they would surely be dumbfounded.
Prestigious Quasi-Monarchs, peerless powerhouses who stand above Divine Kings, were actually being called worthless rabble.
Ye Chen also sensed the successive appearances of these Quasi-Monarchs, but at this moment, there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't possibly chase them down while carrying the Divine King Tribulation as he had done in the past.
After all, these were Quasi-Monarchs, far superior to the other great enemies he had faced before. If they truly wanted to flee, even he would find it difficult to pursue them while carrying such a vast Divine King Tribulation.
He let out a soft sigh. While struggling fiercely against the Divine King Tribulation, he also waved his hand, sending the six Giant Divine Soldiers charging into the Tenth Divine King Tribulation.
These were terrifying Divine King Tribulations capable of injuring Quasi-Monarchs, but they were also an excellent tempering force.
Ye Chen wanted these Giant Divine Soldiers to undergo stronger refinement once more, to completely transcend and become top-tier puppets.
Boom—
Under the control of Ye Chen's mind, the six Giant Divine Soldiers endured layer upon layer of hundreds of millions of terrifying tribulations.
Submerged under the fearsome tribulation light, the tempered and immortal bodies of the Giant Divine Soldiers also developed numerous scorch marks. However, the tribulation light also contained terrifying power of the Great Dao.
It must be known that the six Giant Divine Soldiers were refined using the Corpse Immortal Clan's puppet-making methods, having already reached first-class puppet level. They could also devour various heavenly tribulation forces.
Originally bearing many wounds from the Blood Empress's attacks, under the baptism of the endless Divine King Tribulation, these wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, under the attacks of the Great Dao Weapons, Supreme Weapons' manifestations, and Chaos Holy Spirits, and after devouring vast amounts of tribulation light, an immortal divine nature began to manifest on the bodies of the six Giant Divine Soldiers.
Clearly, these Giant Divine Soldiers were evolving towards immortality.
It was highly likely that all six Giant Divine Soldiers could complete the final step within Ye Chen's Tenth Divine King Tribulation, becoming top-tier puppets possessing power no less than their peak strength in life, and even capable of unleashing the Sovereign-level rule power they mastered in life.
At that point, Ye Chen's confidence would increase by another significant margin.
Silently, outside the Desolate Ancient Fortress, the figure of a slovenly middle-aged man appeared.
It was the Haotian War God. He had come too.
Seeing this scene, he also showed a hint of admiration.
"Truly astonishing, to actually break the shackles and contend with the Tenth Divine King Tribulation," the Haotian War God murmured softly, a look of amazement in his eyes. "Perhaps you can transcend us and step into an unprecedented realm."
Ye Chen was unaware of all the happenings in the outside world.
He left the six Giant Divine Soldiers at the lowest part of the tribulation, continuously undergoing the baptism and transformation of the tribulation light, while he himself charged to the highest point, engaging in a heaven-shaking battle with the countless manifestations of Great Dao Weapons, Supreme Weapons, and Chaos Holy Spirits.
"Ah—"
With a great roar, Ye Chen continuously shattered these tribulations, creating countless points of light that he devoured into his body, slowly undergoing further enhancement and transformation once more.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Perhaps an hour, perhaps half a day, perhaps a full day.
The terrifying tribulation was forcibly suppressed by Ye Chen.
He displayed peerless, matchless combat prowess. After a long period of devouring the essence of the Divine King Tribulation, both his form and spirit had received a significant boost, which was truly rare.
The aura emanating from his body grew increasingly powerful, far more intense than even mid-stage Quasi-Monarch powerhouses, almost comparable to late-stage powerhouses.
The boundless sea of tribulation light and thunder also gradually began to fade.
"Is the tribulation finally about to end?"
Within the Desolate Ancient Fortress, the countless people who had endured the terrifying pressure of the tribulation light for a day and night finally let out a slow sigh of relief.
The Quasi-Monarchs of various races prepared to gather their momentum and take action, intending to deal with the Battle Saint King and capture him.
However, Ye Chen's expression remained calm. He was still looking at the highest point of the heavens.
Because he knew the true great tribulation had not yet fully descended.
What had just occurred was merely the appetizer.
Boom—
Following the most terrifying roar, suddenly, the heavens became many times more oppressive.
Visible to the naked eye, right above the heavens, ten layers of heaven suddenly appeared.
On each layer stood a peerless, immortal figure, each emanating a majestic aura, like emperors, like supreme immortals, eternal and immortal, everlasting and indestructible!
Ten Heaven's Avatars were manifesting.
"This is—"
Those who had never witnessed Ye Chen's Divine King Tribulation all showed shock. Such a Myriad Dao Divine King Tribulation also seemed to surpass previous Myriad Dao Divine King Tribulations, extremely extraordinary.
But this was not the end.
On the highest tenth layer of heaven, within the thunderous light gate, one Emperor Star after another appeared—ten in total, each shimmering with different Emperor Dao radiance.
From each Emperor Star, a figure emerged, no weaker than the Heaven's Avatars, their supreme divine might spreading, extremely terrifying.
A black hole appeared, representing reincarnation.
Ye Chen's past life, Qian Yue, appeared.
At the same time, the thunderous light gate opened, and one terrifying figure after another rushed out.
These figures were eerily identical to Ye Chen, but each carried a different Great Dao aura—some thick earth, some sharp metal, some solar, some profound yin, some spatial, some temporal, some life, some death...
A total of forty-nine figures identical to Ye Chen appeared.
They corresponded precisely to the forty-nine God King Spirits Ye Chen had cultivated.
The terrifying Tenth Divine King Tribulation had truly descended.
Everyone, including the Blood Empress, the Haotian War God, the mysterious old man, and the many Quasi-Monarchs, showed expressions of shock, as if witnessing something unbelievable.
This level of tribulation was only just beginning?
And what were these figures?
Seeing this, even Ye Chen's face instantly darkened.
He knew that breaking the shackles of his predecessors would inevitably encounter an extraordinary Tenth Divine King Tribulation, but he hadn't expected it to be like this.
Whether it was the ten Heaven's Avatars, the manifestations of the ten Emperors or supreme immortals in their youth, the appearance of his past life Qian Yue, or the real manifestation of the forty-nine God King Spirits—all were utterly terrifying.
Ye Chen's brow furrowed deeply.
He sensed a crisis far exceeding any previous tribulation.
If he failed this time, he might very well perish here.
Ye Chen rose to his full height amidst the endless tribulation light, took a long breath, then fiercely devoured the boundless power of the tribulation light, rapidly drawing it into his body. At the same time, he quickly adjusted his essence, energy, and spirit to their peak state.
At this moment, his aura was so powerful it was nearly on par with a late-stage Quasi-Monarch.
That terrifying might could be described as overwhelmingly supreme.
Simultaneously, his Chaos Supreme Body and Chaos God King Spirit emerged from him. The three stood together, jointly facing the fearsome tribulation figures in the heavens.
"Fight!"
Without any further words, Ye Chen shot into the sky, battling the unprecedented Tenth Divine King Tribulation, initiating the most terrifying collision in history.
