Chi Xue Dijun smiled faintly. "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry. They will not make another move."
The Sun Sovereign also smiled. "This time, we've troubled Fellow Daoist Chi Xue for your assistance."
"You jest, Fellow Daoist. If they hadn't broken the rules by attacking the younger generation, I could not have intervened so casually. If it were Quasi-Monarchs who acted, even I could not easily interfere." Chi Xue Dijun said meaningfully.
The Sun Sovereign nodded.
The Quasi-Monarchs, who had initially been trembling with fear because of Chi Xue Dijun and were preparing to leave, paused upon hearing this and stayed.
Chi Xue Dijun had said that Ancient Monarchs could not, but Quasi-Monarchs could.
Moreover, they had been pursuing the Battle Saint King all along, and the Ten Heavens Imperial Hall had never appeared to stop them, which spoke volumes.
Ye Chen, amidst his tribulation, gave a bitter smile.
However, he did not blame Chi Xue Dijun for being heartless. After all, helping him drive away the pursuit of other Ancient Monarchs was already an immense favor.
The other party could have very well turned a blind eye.
Below, the Haotian War God had witnessed the entire battle, and could only let out a soft sigh, his despondent expression growing even more intense...
"Ah—"
Accompanied by Ye Chen's great roar, the great tribulation also evolved to its most intense stage.
Boundless tribulation light even overwhelmed everything, including almost everyone present, who could no longer see anything. Only endless tribulation light could be seen flickering and spreading.
Few truly understood what kind of fierce struggle the Battle Saint King was undergoing within the great tribulation.
Only the Sun Sovereign and Chi Xue Dijun watched unblinkingly, their gazes profound and mysterious, piercing through everything, observing the various scenes within the great tribulation, marveling at them.
Within the terrifying tenth Divine King tribulation, Ye Chen was covered in blood.
Whether it was himself, his Chaos Supreme Body, or his Chaos Divine King Spirit, he didn't know how many times they had shattered, only to reassemble again and again.
He was always caught in a cycle of being utterly shattered and then reassembled.
Here, Ye Chen held nothing back, unleashing every means at his disposal to the fullest.
Sometimes he fought against the ten Heaven's Avatars, sometimes he battled the young Supreme Ones emerging from the Emperor Star, sometimes he fought his past life Qian Yue, sometimes he clashed with the forty-nine Great Dao Ye Chens...
He was in fierce combat, in life-and-death struggle, in violent collision, and also devouring the essence of the myriad heavens' tribulation.
If not for devouring this Great Dao essence, which effectively replenished his Chaos Origin time and again, he would have long been exhausted and died from being shattered so many times. He could not possibly have survived until now.
In the end, Ye Chen had nearly exhausted all his origin power. Cracks appeared all over his body, as if he were porcelain. His Chaos Supreme Body and Chaos Divine King Spirit had both vanished.
Within his body, only a Life Tree remained, constantly overflowing with life essence, slowly yet powerfully nourishing his shattered fleshly body, preventing him from falling.
At this moment, Ye Chen also used all his Divine King Spirits, universe phantoms, and Chaos Dharma Forms to overwhelm himself, briefly forming a kind of defense to protect his body.
He gasped with difficulty, also devouring Great Dao essence, and continuously swallowing many precious elixirs and the like.
Only in this way could he barely hold on.
However, the manifestations of those Emperors and Supreme Immortals from their youth, the appearances of the ten Heaven's Avatars, the reincarnated Qian Yue, and others—all possessed the most terrifying offensive power. Each one was comparable to the strongest young Supreme One. Even the tenth Heaven's Avatar and the reincarnated Qian Yue were only stronger, not weaker, and not much inferior to Ye Chen.
The appearance of so many humanoid heavenly tribulations caused Ye Chen's origin to wither considerably, leaving him only able to gasp with difficulty.
But Ye Chen had grown to this step not by relying on the protection of others, but more through his own efforts, step by step, advancing with blood-stained footsteps.
His bones were filled with an unshakable, invincible will.
"Even if Emperors and Supreme Immortals come, they cannot kill me!"
Ye Chen roared loudly. Within his body appeared a ball of Chaos Dawn Light the size of an infant's fist—the Chaos Source Liquid, an absolute great tonic for him.
He devoured it directly, also using the endless tribulation light to refine it.
Boom—
The Chaos Source Liquid, a treasure comparable to Chaos Immortal Gold, was devoured just like that. It could be called a terrible waste, but Ye Chen simply couldn't care less.
After refining the Chaos Source Liquid, Chaos light overwhelmed every inch of his body.
His withered Chaos Origin was restored, as if a spark of vitality had been reignited.
Ye Chen possessed a Chaos Saint Body and a Chaos Saint Soul, making him essentially of the same origin as the Chaos Source Liquid.
Refining the Chaos Source Liquid was like receiving a massive replenishment. In a short time, his vigorous vitality was reignited, his flawed and injured body was repaired, he gained a brief respite, and he began a new campaign of conquest.
After a day and a night, having shattered his form and spirit several times and his origin withered, Ye Chen refined another ball of Chaos Source Liquid...
And so the cycle repeated.
This great tribulation lasted for an excessively long time—a full ten days and ten nights—stunning everyone, shaking the entire Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, and attracting the attention of countless people.
No one knew how many powerful experts were drawn to observe.
Naturally, there were other Ancient Monarchs as well, but due to the presence of the Sun Sovereign and Chi Xue Dijun, none of them made a move. They merely observed from afar, their hearts also filled with unparalleled astonishment.
The Quasi-Monarchs, fearing they might provoke the targeting of the tenth Divine King tribulation, also merely watched silently, observing the Battle Saint King's repeated, unceasing assaults.
Finally, after a terrifying Chaos light shot into the sky, everyone saw Ye Chen fight his way through layer upon layer of obstacles, blast open the most mysterious gate of light formed by thunder on the tenth heaven, and charge directly into it, leaving the dumbfounded world to watch the unparalleled tribulation light rage.
"Heavenly Tribulation—legend has it that it records all the mysteries of the past and present."
Chi Xue Dijun said softly, his gaze at this moment brilliant and intense.
He looked towards the gate of light formed by thunder, wanting to pierce through everything within, to understand all the great secrets of ancient and modern times.
Unfortunately, the gate of light formed by thunder had long since closed. Even Chi Xue Dijun felt some trepidation and did not attempt to blast it open, lest it provoke the descent of a terrifying great tribulation.
Within the gate of light formed by thunder was a vast, boundless, and expansive heaven and earth.
This was not Ye Chen's first time entering. This time, he was familiar with the route, passing through one massive corpse after another, condensed from tribulation light yet appearing incredibly real, heading towards the deepest part of the Heavenly Tribulation World.
Boom—
He witnessed endless battles erupting within the Heavenly Tribulation World, like real living beings engaged in constant warfare.
Among them were Divine King battles, Quasi-Monarch great battles, and even Ancient Monarch-level, as well as battles of ancient Great Emperors and Supreme Immortal-level Supreme Ones, shaking the entire Heavenly Tribulation World.
In short, this Heavenly Tribulation World did not resemble a heavenly tribulation at all, but more like a real great world. The living beings within were very real, as if they truly existed, with flesh, blood, and souls.
