"Star Sky Celebration!"
Across the Myriad Domains of the All Heavens, billions of living beings raised their heads, their eyes filled with nothing but profound shock.
That Star Sky Celebration was undoubtedly the sign of a Supreme One attaining the Dao.
In the end, who was it that had attained the Dao and become an Emperor?
However, when they truly saw clearly that lofty figure standing at the highest point of the universe, with the Ten Thousand Daos bowing in submission at its center...
Everyone was astounded!
The Battle Saint King!
Today, he had stepped into the Eternal Emperor realm, triggering a Star Sky Celebration no less magnificent than that of a Supreme One attaining the Dao.
Apart from that sequence of supreme existences—the Ancient Sovereigns or above who understood many secrets—no one else truly understood what an Eternal Emperor represented.
Why could the Battle Saint King's achievement of the Eternal Emperor realm trigger a Star Sky Celebration, a Ten Thousand Ancient Times phenomenon, that was in no way inferior to that of a Supreme One attaining the Dao?
Countless phenomena, numbering in the thousands, spread across the Myriad Domains of the All Heavens, affecting the lands of the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds.
Indescribable, ineffable kinds of heaven and earth phenomena, belonging only to legend, were continuously manifesting.
Each phenomenon was so magnificent and solemn, inspiring reverence and worship.
Moreover, this was far more than just thousands...
"Indeed, the Battle Saint King becoming an Eternal Emperor is in no way inferior to a Supreme One attaining the Dao. No, it's even more astonishing than that."
A Supreme One was shocked. The vastness, the immensity of that Star Sky Celebration far exceeded imagination, surpassing the one-tenth of the universe range typical of an ordinary Supreme One's attainment of the Dao.
Generally speaking, the Star Sky Celebration triggered by a Supreme One attaining the Dao could indirectly reveal the strength of that person after attaining the Dao.
For example, when Cang Xiong attained the Dao, he leaped directly to the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant level. The Star Sky Celebration phenomenon he triggered covered the entire boundless territory of the universe, reaching every single corner.
This was the Star Sky Celebration bestowed upon the birth of a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant.
Now, the Battle Saint King's promotion to Eternal Emperor, while far inferior to Cang Xiong's attainment of the Dao, one must understand that the former was merely advancing to the Emperor realm, yet he could trigger the Star Sky Celebration phenomenon of a Supreme One's birth, even surpassing it.
It was hard to imagine what kind of earth-shattering, epoch-shaking Star Sky Celebration he would trigger on the day he truly attained the Dao...
Another Supreme One said solemnly, "I have a feeling that after the Battle Saint King advances to Eternal Emperor, he might be stronger than us, and not by just a little."
The Supreme Ones from all sides fell silent.
Clearly, they shared that feeling.
This intuition originated from a Supreme One's perception, incredibly accurate, almost flawless, capable of sensing everything, even glimpsing various aspects of past, present, and future.
A newly advanced Eternal Emperor, just stepping into the Emperor realm, was actually going to be stronger than the Great Emperors who had reached the pinnacle of the Supreme One realm in all aspects?
This simply defied all past, present, and future logic...
Tai Chu Emperor gave a bitter smile. "As fellow Eternal Emperors, I'm afraid I'm not even one-tenth of my junior brother."
Wuxiang Junwang, seeing the junior of the Battle Saint lineage rise later and even surpass him, felt not a trace of gloom, only overflowing joy.
Ultimately, this was the glory of the Battle Saint lineage.
It was also the glory of the Pangu Universe.
The stronger Ye Chen became, the better it was for the Pangu Universe.
At this moment, what was even more moving was that amidst this heart-shaking spectacle, one could also feel the Pangu Universe's origin emitting a wave of emotion named joy, happy because of Ye Chen's promotion to Eternal Emperor.
It was as if Ye Chen was the beloved child of the universe's origin. His promotion excited and delighted the universe's origin more than anyone else.
Finally, he had become an Eternal Emperor.
The stars of the All Heavens shone brightly, boundless stellar radiance surging forth, submerging his entire being.
Ye Chen's body and mind were frantically absorbing massive amounts of stellar power.
Metamorphosis had begun.
Simultaneously, his divine sense left his main body, expanding limitlessly.
In the unseen depths, an infinite yet warm force brushed over every inch of his divine soul, allowing his divine soul and divine sense to expand boundlessly, surpassing the starry sky, spreading across the endless cosmos, thereby triggering star after star to shine, constellation after constellation to celebrate.
Ye Chen instinctively knew that force was likely the power of the universe's origin.
Like a mother's power, it was the universe's origin's care for Ye Chen.
The radiance of the All Heavens' stars converged upon his person.
Similarly, in turn, it allowed Ye Chen's divine sense to expand, imprinting strands of his divine soul mark upon these infinite stars.
His Chaos Great Dao mark was also imprinted alongside them.
This was another layer of meaning behind the Star Sky Celebration: imprinting divine soul marks, imprinting Great Dao marks, allowing the Chaos Ancient Universe to record all of this.
One day, if he unfortunately perished, perhaps after endless ages, by chance, these divine soul marks and Great Dao marks could be extracted, his body and mind reassembled, and he could revive.
Although that was nearly impossible, a minuscule possibility.
Throughout the ages, only a handful of Supreme Ones had succeeded. Other Supreme Ones or higher supreme existences had truly turned to dust in the river of time.
Because the imprinted divine soul marks and Great Dao marks could not exist forever; they had corresponding time limits. Once past those limits, they would become ownerless and return to the universe's origin.
Of course, all of this was still quite distant for Ye Chen.
Upon stepping into the Eternal Emperor realm, Ye Chen only felt his entire being, body and mind, undergoing ultimate sublimation.
Every aspect was rising frantically.
Indeed.
Originally, he was no less than a Great Perfection Supreme One in all aspects, capable of peak-level duels, fearless in life-and-death battles.
Now, having become an Eternal Emperor, he was not simply comparable to an Ancient Great Emperor; he had surpassed them.
Unparalleled, unimaginably majestic power, vast and mighty, filled every inch of his physique.
Every cell brimmed with majestic, Ten Thousand Ancient Times, peerless power.
It wasn't just the supplementation of the All Heavens' stellar radiance—that was insignificant even to a Supreme One, let alone Ye Chen. The Star Sky Celebration phenomenon he triggered covered one-third of the universe's starry sky region, far surpassing an ordinary Supreme One's attainment of the Dao.
This indicated his strength far exceeded that of an ordinary Supreme One.
More importantly was the generous bestowal from the universe's origin.
Like a mother's gift to her child.
When a Supreme One successfully attains the Dao, the universe's origin bestows some of its origin power to help them quickly stabilize their Supreme One realm.
Ye Chen's achievement of the Eternal Emperor realm was much more powerful than a Supreme One attaining the Dao. The universe's origin rejoiced for him, bestowing even more of its origin power, causing him to surpass ordinary Supreme Ones in all aspects.
Simultaneously, the Chaos Small Universe within his body also underwent an unprecedented, frenzied expansion.
One hundred million li, one hundred and ten million li, one hundred and twenty million li, one hundred and fifty million li, two hundred million li...
Based on the past, even if he advanced to Eternal Emperor, Ye Chen couldn't have expanded his Chaos Small Universe so much in such a short time.
But the Pangu Universe's origin selflessly dedicated itself, allowing Ye Chen's Chaos Small Universe to expand frenziedly in a short period. More majestic power also continuously poured into his body,stacking / layering with the Eternal Emperor power, making Ye Chen stronger and stronger.
As if without end.
Within his body, the Goddess, Yi Wu, and other relatives and friends each had a strand of divine sense present. Naturally, they didn't have Ye Chen's comprehensive sensation, but they also received an intuitive feeling, a sensation beyond imagination, more astonishing than a Supreme One attaining the Dao, causing their comprehension of the Great Dao to continuously soar.
Unconsciously, the strand of divine sense existing within Ye Chen shattered.
No one paid it any mind, immediately entering a state of enlightenment to digest the experience.
It was an incredibly rare experience. Once the enlightenment ended, even with the poorest aptitude, they would inevitably improve significantly.
Boom—
Not long after, at the highest point of the universe's firmament, beneath the Heaven Beyond Heaven, boundless heavenly tribulation gathered in the clouds.
The world knew that this was the Eternal Emperor Tribulation belonging to the Battle Saint King, in no way inferior to a Supreme Emperor Tribulation.
Ye Chen stood up tall. The metamorphosis of his body was not yet completely over, still ongoing, but he felt not the slightest fear towards the Emperor Tribulation.
Having cultivated to this day, he had considerable experience with similar tribulations. Even if the heavenly tribulation continuously descended with legendary tribulations rarely seen throughout the ages—such as tribulations involving past Supreme Ones, Supreme Emperor Weapons, the Ten Heavenly Realms, and more—like Chaos True Dragons, World Trees, Chaos Kunpengs emerging, etc.
The terrifying Eternal Emperor Tribulation surpassed even the Supreme Emperor Tribulation by a large margin.
But to Ye Chen, it was nothing.
His strength transcended ordinary Supreme Ones. Having undergone an ultimate metamorphosis in all aspects, he could withstand it, enduring even this boundless tribulation light, then absorbing and converting it into divine power.
The boundless heavenly tribulation became a force for him to temper himself.
This point didn't even require borrowing the power of the Chaos Thunder Pearl to control.
Ye Chen was continuously growing stronger.
The heavenly tribulation was endless, roiling at the highest point of the universe's firmament. A single stray strand falling might collapse a great domain for hundreds of millions of li, let alone so many.
Naturally, to avoid harming living beings, the Supreme Ones acted, protecting everything to prevent the tribulation from falling.
Although they had long known the Battle Saint King's Eternal Emperor Tribulation would be unprecedentedly terrifying, even surpassing historical records—perhaps only comparable to the times when the two invincible beings of the Chaos Sea, the Primordial Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor, advanced to Eternal Emperor.
But both were extremely ancient existences, with very few related records; no one knew for sure.
Now, only by personally witnessing the Battle Saint King undergo his tribulation could one understand how terrifyingly boundless the Eternal Emperor Tribulation was, far beyond imagination, with even the Supreme Emperor Tribulation of a Supreme One attaining the Dao falling far short.
Only then could one glimpse a fragment of the Primordial Ancestor and Heavenly Emperor's past.
The endless great tribulation submerged a vast starry sky territory spanning over a thousand great domains, boundless and mighty.
The supreme, most brilliant tribulation light flickered, annihilating countless stars, turning them to dust.
Ye Chen annihilated the Ancient Great Emperors from their Emperor periods within the heavenly tribulation, even dueling the Emperor periods of Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants.
Undoubtedly, the Emperor periods of Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants all belonged to the Eternal Emperor category, comparable to Tai Chu Emperor. Some, like the Battle Saint Ancestor and Tai Sheng Huang, directly reached a level like Wuxiang Junwang, capable of peak-level duels with Ancient Great Emperors, extremely powerful.
Furthermore, endless Supreme Emperor Weapons were derived and descended.
This was the most terrifying heavenly tribulation that would make even a Great Perfection Supreme One meet their end.
Trillions upon trillions of living beings trembled incessantly. They didn't know the Battle Saint King's Eternal Emperor Tribulation surpassed an ordinary Supreme Emperor Tribulation, but they knew that once that kind of boundless heavenly tribulation fell, it would inevitably shatter boundless great domains.
The Ten Thousand Daos of the All Heavens trembled, unable to take form.
One could imagine.
They could only continuously raise their heads, gazing up at that most monstrous genius of the Pangu Universe throughout the ages undergoing tribulation and sublimation.
Thus, after a day and a night, Ye Chen fought to the end.
This time, even though covered in blood, he had not been shattered to pieces even once.
His physique was radiating Ten Thousand Ancient Times indestructible Chaos radiance. The Chaos Saint Body continuously reassembled and strengthened amidst being stained with blood. Flesh and blood shone with a metallic sheen. Chaos Saint Bones shone transparently, manifesting endless Great Dao runes—those were Chaos Sovereign Rule Dao Patterns.
Even the three hundred million Sovereign Rules imprinted within his body had also evolved. Having undergone the endless thunder tribulation, they actually condensed and sublimated, becoming three Supreme Emperor Rules.
This represented that the main cultivation paths of the three alien Emperors from the past had all reached the Emperor Dao level.
Naturally, they no longer numbered three hundred million Sovereign Rules. All the Sovereign Rules condensed into three Emperor Dao light clusters, each only about the size of a human head, emitting supreme fluctuations at the Ancient Great Emperor level.
Upon reaching the Supreme One realm, Sovereign Rules sublimated into Supreme Emperor Rules, also called Supreme Emperor Dao. They no longer had a quantity of 'many' rules; they all became "One."
Ten Thousand Laws Return to One!
The Emperor is as One!
At this step, all the various Great Dao Sovereign Rules mastered in the past were smelted into one—this was the Supreme Emperor Dao, which was the Emperor Dao light cluster the size of a human head!
Generally speaking, every Supreme One only mastered one Emperor Dao.
Once attaining the Dao as a Supreme One, the main cultivation path became primary, with other pathsassisting, smelted into a unique Supreme Emperor Dao belonging to oneself.
A Supreme One primarily used the Supreme Emperor Dao, capable of using one Dao to command the Ten Thousand Daos.
That is, by utilizing the Emperor Dao light cluster, one could command the Ten Thousand Daos of the All Heavens for one's own use.
Currently, Ye Chen possessed a full three Supreme Emperor Dao light clusters, indicating his strength was at least equivalent to three Ancient Great Emperor levels.
Moreover, simultaneously mastering three Supreme Emperor Daos meant his strength wasn't simply three times that of other Ancient Great Emperors. As long as he operated them skillfully, the three Supreme Emperor Daos smelted and connected with each other, the power unleashed would multiply and stack, displaying incrediblydefying heaven / heaven-defying terrifying combat power.
The three Supreme Emperor Daos attained the Emperor Dao one step ahead of the Chaos Great Dao.
However, Ye Chen was still not a Supreme One.
Because he took the Chaos Great Dao as primary. Although the three Supreme Emperor Daos were very strong, they were still suppressed by the Chaos Great Dao, becoming secondary primary paths.
Only when the Supreme Great Dao attained the Emperor Dao would he be a true Supreme Emperor!
This was him, primarily cultivating the Chaos Great Dao, also the most powerful Eternal Emperor throughout the ages, capable of suppressing three Emperor Daos. Otherwise, for anyone else, once an Emperor Dao took form, even their truly primary cultivation path would be suppressed by the Emperor Dao, becoming a secondary primary path.
Boom—
Ye Chen fought through the Ten Heavenly Realms, defeating one peerless great enemy after anothermanifested by the heavenly tribulation, each comparable to a Supreme One, finally ascending to the Tenth Heavenly Realm.
His gaze passed over this endless sea of tribulation light and thunder, landing ahead on the incarnation of the Tenth Heavenly Realm.
This incarnation of Heaven was precisely the Green Heaven Great Emperor, Di Shi Tian!
The strongest Tenth Heavenly Realm, an existence at the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant level!
Of course, the incarnation of the Green Heaven Great Emperor before him couldn't possibly possess the peerless invincibility of the true body, nor was it at the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant level. Otherwise, no matter how strong Ye Chen was, he couldn't be a match for such a supreme Giant.
And his target was the thunder light gate behind the Green Heaven Great Emperor.
Legend said the thunder light gate contained all the great secrets of past and present.
To reach the thunder light gate, one must battle the incarnation of the Green Heaven Great Emperor to succeed.
