Ye Chen immersed himself within it. Each time he entered, he encountered extraordinary experiences.
He had even once met the Heavenly Gate's Gate Master, battled against a Supreme Immortal, and even repelled one, leaving behind a severed immortal arm that was gifted to him and later refined.
"The Heavenly Tribulation World contains all mysteries, the source of all secrets."
Ye Chen murmured to himself as he traversed the Heavenly Tribulation World, where he had also fought against super-powerful beings from this mysterious realm.
His gaze had extinguished Great Powers, his raised hand had suppressed and slain Divine Kings, he had fiercely battled Quasi-Sovereigns, and from afar, he had glimpsed Great Perfection Quasi-Sovereigns...
Ultimately, after experiencing endless great battles, he was left covered in blood, staggering step by step deeper into the Heavenly Tribulation World. He comprehended many unknown secrets and witnessed numerous peerless powerhouses who had long since vanished into the river of history.
He had also witnessed the great battles of many Supreme Ones from the past.
He wanted to explore more secrets.
He also wished to see the Heavenly Gate's Gate Master again.
But the Heavenly Tribulation World was truly vast, far beyond imagination, even more boundless than the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain.
The shattered world heavens and earths were countless, transforming into a vast sea of realms.
Ye Chen traversed through it, seeking only some eternal secrets, hoping to find the Heavenly Gate. Naturally, he also wished to use the Heavenly Tribulation World to understand some of the eternal great secrets belonging to the Sealed Boundary Universe.
Woo—
The clear, resounding sound of a war horn echoed.
Ye Chen looked up and saw an enormous ancient ship drifting, astonishingly large, not inferior to the towering dharma forms manifested by Emperors and Supreme Immortals, even more majestic, with an awe-inspiring aura, carrying infinite powerhouses.
Roar—
He saw that beside the ancient ship was a terrifying Primordial True Dragon, its length immeasurable in tens of thousands of li, a single dragon scale larger than a star, swimming through the universe, its massive form surpassing a starry river.
He also saw one after another incomparably huge Supreme dharma forms appearing.
Here, he even saw a familiar figure—
Emperor Ni Qiang!
That was the Ship That Slays Immortals!
The history of the Eight Desolates Ancient Universe's campaign against the Primordial Immortal Realm was being reenacted!
Emperor Ni Qiang also seemed to sense something, looking towards Ye Chen's location, saying, "I seem to have seen you before."
Ye Chen trembled, opening his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more. For the Ship That Slays Immortals carried the entire Eight Desolates Ancient Universe, led by multiple Emperor Supreme Ones from this Chaos Ancient Universe, killing their way to the Immortal Heavenly Pass of the Primordial Immortal Realm, battling the strongest ancient universe in the Chaos Sea...
But all of this flashed by in an instant. The Ship That Slays Immortals plunged into the deepest parts of the Heavenly Tribulation World. Even if Ye Chen wanted to follow, to witness that great universe-destroying battle of the past, he could not see it.
The Ship That Slays Immortals was too fast; he could not catch up from afar, only able to watch helplessly as the Ship That Slays Immortals vanished just like that...
The Heavenly Tribulation World recorded far too many secrets of the Chaos Sea throughout the ages. Ye Chen witnessed far too many secrets within it.
Some mysteries that even Primordial Sovereigns might not know, Ye Chen saw them reenacted here through the Heavenly Tribulation World.
He saw the Space-Time Emperor, a single person disrupting past, present, and future, the World Ancestral Tree swaying as it evolved myriad great worlds, suppressing Supreme Ones.
He saw the invincible bearing of the Battle Saint Ancestor in the past, setting foot in the Chaos Sea, sweeping across all directions, causing Supreme Ones to bleed and alien Emperors to be suppressed and slain.
He beheld the Tai Sheng Huang, harmonizing yin and yang, also evolving the Chaos Great Dao to its utmost extreme, sweeping through past and present without match...
When the Tai Sheng Huang appeared, the Tai Sheng Huang Ring and the Eternal Crown on Ye Chen's body trembled.
Especially the Tai Sheng Huang Ring, which reminded Ye Chen of Old Yan, who had accompanied him during his weak rise in this life.
Since entering the mysterious land beyond the Immortal Heavenly Pass of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land back then, he had abruptly disappeared.
Back then, Ye Chen lacked the strength and dared not rashly enter the mysterious black hole within that mysterious land. Now, as his cultivation grew increasingly powerful, he believed his strength was sufficiently great, far surpassing those ancient Great Powers who had forcefully breached the Immortal Heavenly Pass back then.
Once matters in the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain were resolved and he seized the "Supreme" immortal fate, he would set out for the Purple Mansion Sacred Land to search for traces of Old Yan.
"The Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wall defends ten thousand generations!"
A great shout, its echoes trembling through past and present.
That was the Heavenly Tribulation World reenacting the past, on the old Origin Ancient Path, the peerless Emperor Qin Shi Huang leading other Emperors and Supreme Immortals to suppress the Chaos Burial Ground...
Along this journey, Ye Chen had seen almost all the heroic bearings of the strongest Emperors of the Sealed Boundary Universe, all their majestic, invincible emperor stances from when they swept through the world.
No, one person was still missing!
Boom—
An unparalleled fluctuation bloomed, surpassing all before, even seeming to surpass that Supreme One he had seen not long ago who could annihilate world heavens and earths with a raise of his hand.
Only the Tai Sheng Huang, the Space-Time Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, the Battle Saint Ancestor, and other strongest Emperors could compare.
Ye Chen raised his head and saw a vast, mighty River of Time appear in the heavens, traversing past and present, spanning across all heavens.
Upon the River of Time, there was a figure, its back turned to him, its true visage unclear, but exceptionally majestic, with broad shoulders that seemed capable of supporting the entire great universe.
He wore ancient, peerless battle armor, his head exposed, black hair cascading down. In his right hand, he held a war sword; in his left, a divine chain. On his back, he carried a heavenly stele, all stained with blood.
Some belonged to enemies, perhaps some his own.
Right before this person, on the opposite side of the vast River of Time, space-time aura violently churned. One after another, unparalleled gigantic figures appeared.
Some were humanoid, others in different forms. Their numbers were not few, at least over a dozen, perhaps more, overlapping one another, all with bodies of boundless size, making stars seem minuscule and worlds like grains of sand, possessing the terrifying fluctuations of the Supreme level.
These Supreme figures all stood majestically upon the River of Time, lofty and aloft, as if not of this era, ancient and weathered, carrying the aura of different epochs, all supreme existences from other ancient epochs.
Although the armored humanoid figure appeared only normal human size, Ye Chen felt a shock in his heart, clearly sensing that the person on the great River of Time was a Supreme Emperor, appearing even more majestic and peerless than the other Supreme Ones.
One man could hold the pass against ten thousand!
The only one throughout eternity!
With his back turned to the world, alone, solitary, he faced the supreme existences that had leaped out from epoch after epoch, engaging in a standoff.
Heavenly Emperor!
Involuntarily, this thought surfaced in Ye Chen's mind, reminding him of some ancient mysteries.
During the great destruction of the Mythical Epoch, the Heavenly Emperor was powerless to attend to other matters precisely because supreme giants leaped out one after another from the River of Time, seeking to instigate an Epoch Great Turmoil, burying and destroying the entire epoch.
But the Heavenly Emperor was peerless. He alone entered the River of Time, confronting the supreme existences that leaped out from various ancient epochs, engaging in a standoff, suppressing the Epoch Great Turmoil.
Ye Chen inexplicably felt a pang of sorrow.
The Heavenly Emperor, the most ancient and most powerful peerless Emperor of the Sealed Boundary Universe, entered the River of Time alone, all to suppress the Epoch Great Turmoil.
