Ye Chen did not pursue, for all of this was merely a manifestation of the past, recorded by the heavenly tribulation and reenacted.
All of this was simply the Heavenly Emperor's power reaching through heaven and earth, piercing through ancient and modern times.
He had witnessed everything before him and had deliberately left these words for him.
"You are excellent, having broken the shackles of the Divine King Nine Tribulations for a Supreme Heavenly Pride who has reached Great Perfection. You have the potential to reach the same realm as me and him in the future, perhaps even surpass it."
He very much wanted to know who the "him" in the Heavenly Emperor's words referred to.
The Chessboard?
The Transcendent One?
What did the Origin Sacred Artifact represent? What was its purpose?
What exactly was the Moon Mark?
What were the origins of the Heavenly Gate's Gate Master? Could he be from the Land of Origin?
The Heavenly Emperor had entrusted him with the care of his daughter. This most ancient Heavenly Emperor indeed still had descendants in the world, but who exactly were they?
Currently, among the Imperial Maidens of the Sealed Boundary Universe that Ye Chen knew of, aside from the Nanhuang Imperial Maiden, he was unaware of any others, let alone a daughter of the Heavenly Emperor.
Who were the other two key individuals?
Ye Cangqiong? The Angel Imperial Son? Di Wushuang? Di Wuming? Yuan Yao Divine King? Or someone else?
The true purpose of entering the Heavenly Tribulation World this time was to understand some of the ancient mysteries, but he hadn't expected that after encountering the Heavenly Emperor, even more mysteries had surfaced.
However, Ye Chen understood that the more he learned of these mysteries, the closer he was to the truth.
"If one day, I attain the Emperor realm through the Chaos Dao, I will surely suppress all turmoil, suppress the most terrifying blood-stained future, and sweep across all heavens."
Ye Chen made a great resolution, uttered a great vow: to suppress all turmoil, prevent the arrival of the blood-stained future, to pierce through ancient and modern times, to know all secrets, and to grasp all truths.
As time passed, the Moon Mark ceased its trembling and returned to its original state.
The Eternal Crown once again submerged into his Niwan Palace.
The Life-Death Heavenly Gate also gradually dissipated, transforming into streams of black and white light that re-entered his eyes.
The wildly circulating Chaos Great Dao also slowly came to a halt.
The same was true for the supreme treasure Silver Pearl that had been madly devouring endless tribulation light and thunderbolts. It ultimately hovered before Ye Chen's brow, then with a whoosh, entered his brow, appearing near the Moon Mark, slowly revolving around it, no longer disappearing or hiding.
The Heavenly Tribulation World also returned to its original state, the tribulation light once again transforming into endless worlds, all things, and all beings.
Everything was just as it had been when he first entered.
Ye Chen left the Heavenly Tribulation World without looking back.
Because there was no longer any need to stay here. Many ancient unsolved mysteries that the world saw could be reenacted here, but the deeper secrets had not yet appeared. He could not linger here forever; he had to leave eventually.
With matters settled, he brushed off his sleeves and departed!
After leaving the Heavenly Tribulation World, Ye Chen sat cross-legged before the thunderous light gate.
At this moment, the Tenth Divine King Tribulation was nearing its end.
All the great tribulations were no longer pursuing Ye Chen. The Ten Heavenly Avatars, the Thousand Moons of Samsara, and other terrifying humanoid tribulations seemed to possess intelligence, no longer attacking, silently watching as he absorbed endless Great Dao tribulation light to recover.
Booming thunderously——
Ye Chen paid no heed, continuously devouring all tangible and intangible tribulation light power.
This was a precious place to replenish divine power. The time left for him was not much, as outside, numerous great enemies were eyeing him covetously.
He should at least be able to fully recover during this period.
After all, within the Heavenly Tribulation World, due to the several mysterious Origin Sacred Artifacts, his Chaos Great Dao's circulation had accelerated, his divine power had surged, and he had recovered seventy to eighty percent.
Outside the great tribulation, countless people were closely watching all of this, sighing in their hearts.
Such a terrifying great tribulation had still not caused the Battle Saint King to perish.
It must be said, his fate was truly tough!
In the starry domain beyond, the Sun Monarch also breathed a slight sigh of relief. After all, from certain aspects, Ye Chen could still be considered half his junior brother.
Chi Xue Sovereign shook his head with a wry smile: "This little fellow's life really is tough. But having broken the barrier of the Divine King Nine Tribulations for a Supreme Heavenly Pride who has reached Great Perfection, he has now leaped over the dragon gate and transformed into a dragon."
Beneath the starry sky, within the Ancient Desolate Fortress, the mysterious old man also wore a satisfied smile, growing more pleased the more he looked.
Hao Tian War God similarly revealed a faint smile.
After a full half-day, under the gaze of all, the Tenth Divine King Tribulation finally slowly dissipated, becoming empty.
Between heaven and earth, clarity was completely restored.
"Has the great tribulation finally ended?"
Throughout heaven and earth, whether within the Ancient Desolate Fortress or outside it, all those who had come to observe, from beginning to end, marveled at the duration of this tribulation.
They also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at the same time, numerous sharp killing intents soared into the sky, sweeping across the vast firmament.
These were the killing intents of the Blood Empress and other Quasi-Monarchs from the Imperial and Immortal clans, all focused on Ye Chen.
Hao Tian War God did not emit killing intent. Instead, he looked at Ye Chen, seemingly wanting to see how he would face all of this.
Under the gaze of numerous Quasi-Monarch enemies, even though Ye Chen's clothes were tattered and he appeared somewhat disheveled, the moment he stood up tall, ten divine halos of light manifested. Each divine halo shimmered with endless tribulation light, and an earth-shattering, terrifying pressure slowly emanated from his body.
This pressure was so powerful it was not inferior to a peak expert at the Late Stage Quasi-Monarch realm.
A Tenth Tribulation Chaos Divine King, comparable to a Late Stage Quasi-Monarch!
Ye Chen looked down from his lofty position, his gaze sweeping over the numerous fearsome Quasi-Monarchs as he slowly revealed a smile.
With a wave of his hand, the other Giant Divine Soldiers landed behind him, each shimmering with dense tribulation light.
Clearly, after undergoing repeated baptism and transformation by the heavenly tribulation, these six Giant Divine Soldiers had become even more powerful. Their physical bodies were significantly stronger than before, reaching a super-first-class level.
Moreover, he distinctly sensed that within the bodies of the six Giant Divine Soldiers, the power of Monarch rules was faintly visible.
Originally, as first-class puppet-level Giant Divine Soldiers, although they contained the power of Monarch rules within, they could not unleash it. But now, having reached the super-first-class level, not inferior to their state in life, they could truly unleash it.
Having passed the Tenth Divine King Tribulation, Ye Chen had improved comprehensively in many aspects.
Now, having absorbed the endless remnants of heavenly tribulation light and refined part of the Chaos Source Liquid, his essence, energy, and spirit had all completely recovered to their peak state.
Now he could feel within his body that with every move, the great power of Chaos capable of shattering all heavens surged forth.
He had finally achieved the Tenth Tribulation!
Although they sensed that Ye Chen's current aura was not inferior to some peak experts at the Late Stage Quasi-Monarch realm, all those who had come to hunt him were Quasi-Monarchs. Among them were terrifying existences like the Blood Empress, who were on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking. They still surrounded Ye Chen in a tight circle, their killing intent unconcealed.
Facing the arrival of this host of enemies, Ye Chen's battle intent also bloomed: "Having finally achieved the Tenth Tribulation, from now on, as long as Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs do not make a move, I wonder who in all the world can still do anything to me."
