After cultivating for a hundred years under the tutelage of the Human Sovereign and the Six Paths Great Emperor, Ye Wudao finally began his worldly training.
His emergence naturally caused a stir throughout the Pangu Universe.
He was the offspring of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, and reputedly one of the most talented among them. From birth, he stood at an extremely high starting point as an Innate Supreme One.
Although his Innate Supreme Dao Fruit had been severed by his father, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, he still possessed a Supreme Emperor Physique. How terrifying and utterly immeasurable that was.
His appearance would likely follow the path of his father in the later stages of cultivation—suppressing the strongest Heaven's Prides across the heavens, overshadowing all, and becoming the strongest, invincible Heaven's Pride.
Ye Wudao was far too conspicuous. He had spent a century following two Primordial Giants, focusing on the tempering and refinement of various Dao foundations. From the very beginning, his Dao foundation was being polished towards the level of a Primordial Giant. Even with his innate status as a Supreme One serving as his foundation, it still took a full hundred years, with the infusion of endless resources, to barely succeed.
Yet, after a century of cultivation, he emerged at the Heavenly King level, shattering cultivation records and stunning countless onlookers—truly frightening.
Ye Wudao's first appearance was in the Cang Lan Ancient Domain, a super Great Domain that could rank within the top hundred across the All Heavens and Myriad Domains. It was vast and had given birth to countless Heaven's Prides and talents. There were even Supreme Ones who had established themselves here, founding sects and leaving behind eternal Supreme legacies.
The world formally laid eyes on this son of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, whom they had only glimpsed once at his birth in the Chaos Heavenly Mansion. They couldn't help but marvel at his dignified and imposing bearing, his extraordinary aura, his divine and magnificent presence—truly a peerlessly handsome man in the world.
However, the present Ye Wudao bore no trace of humility. On the contrary, true to his name, he held no reverence for the Dao in his eyes. He was supremely domineering, looking down upon the heavens, daring to regard none of his peers as worthy.
Like a peerless War God, he walked the mortal world, beginning his path of proving the Dao.
The Cang Lan Ancient Domain, home to Supreme-level forces, naturally also had Supreme offspring.
The Ming Emperor Clan was a Supreme-level legacy force in the Cang Lan Ancient Domain—an Imperial Clan, the strongest power dominating this super Great Domain. Over the years, it had received excellent inheritance and grown increasingly powerful.
Now, due to the Imperial Trial, the son of the Ming Emperor had also emerged into the world. His name was Ming Chen, an Imperial Son of extraordinary talent and immense power, born with a Saint Treasury Realm. Though incomparable to Ye Wudao, over the years, he had received the Ming Emperor's relentless cultivation, with endless resources poured into him without stint. The Emperor even kept him by his side, allowing him to cultivate constantly within the Imperial Hall and imparting his own Emperor-level insights.
Thus, in this life, he had smoothly passed through reincarnation and was now extremely powerful, also a Heavenly King dominating this super Great Domain.
Upon learning of Ye Wudao's appearance, the Ming Imperial Son personally arrived at the ancient city where Ye Wudao had appeared and issued a challenge, seeking to battle him.
Although he had heard that Ye Wudao was a legendary Innate Supreme One, born with an Emperor's nature and possessing a Supreme Dao Fruit, as supreme as his own Emperor father, he had also heard that Ye Wudao's Innate Supreme Dao Fruit had been severed by the Chaos Heavenly Emperor. Now, like himself, he was merely a Heavenly King.
Both being Heavenly Kings, and as an Imperial Son, the Ming Imperial Son feared no one. Thus, he wished to challenge Ye Wudao, defeat him, step over him, and become the number one among the younger generation of the Pangu Universe.
Undoubtedly, the Ming Imperial Son's issuance of a challenge to the son of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor shook the entire Cang Lan Great Domain, drawing the attention of all.
The world knew Ye Wudao would soon face formidable enemies, but they hadn't expected an Imperial Son-level figure to challenge him right from the start, making them eagerly anticipate the outcome.
Especially the countless cultivators of the Cang Lan Ancient Domain, who all knew the Ming Imperial Son's strength—he had suppressed the entire younger generation of the Great Domain, never meeting a match.
His power was deeply etched in the hearts of the many cultivators of Cang Lan.
As for Ye Wudao, though he was the son of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, he remained too distant a figure. Moreover, he had been hidden from the world for a century. Even if rumors said he was an Innate Supreme One, they might not necessarily believe it. On the contrary, they did not think Ye Wudao could truly defeat the Ming Imperial Son.
Faced with a challenge, Ye Wudao naturally accepted. The battle was set for three days later at the Burial God Mountain Range.
The Burial God Mountain Range was a famous mountain range where, millions of years ago during the invasion of the Alien Race army into the Pangu Universe, an Ancient Monarch had fallen.
Three days later, under the watchful eyes of all, Ye Wudao and the Ming Imperial Son clashed.
This battle was indeed intense.
It was the strongest contention at the Heavenly King level, the pinnacle clash of the younger generation in the Cang Lan Great Domain. All other Heaven's Prides combined would find it difficult to intervene in the Dao contention between these two.
Yet, it also ended swiftly.
The Ming Imperial Son was powerful—a Great Perfection Supreme Heaven's Pride at the Sixfold Heaven of the Heavenly King realm, further empowered and awakened by his Great Emperor bloodline. He was immensely strong, capable of suppressing Heavenly Kings of the same level and even fighting across realms against Heavenly Kings of higher cultivation. The Ming Emperor had placed great hopes in him, wishing for him to surpass himself in the future—not only to prove the Dao and become an Emperor but to reach the even higher realm that he himself had spent a lifetime striving for yet failed to attain: the Ten Thousand Ancient Giant realm.
However, it was a pity. The Ming Imperial Son had encountered Ye Wudao.
Ye Wudao was too powerful. Though he had entered the world at only the Fourfold Heaven of the Heavenly King realm—two levels lower than the Ming Imperial Son—his supreme invincibility was soon displayed in full. He fought against the heavens, contending with a Great Perfection Supreme Heaven's Pride Imperial Son at the Sixfold Heaven while at a lower realm, not falling behind in the slightest. In fact, after just ten exchanges, he reversed the situation and completely seized the upper hand.
He had inherited Ye Chen's Chaos bloodline, born in harmony with the Myriad Daos, able to resonate with the Daos of the heavens and draw upon their mighty power. Now, as he struck, it was utterly terrifying, collapsing entire mountain ranges, his power boundless.
After twenty exchanges, Ye Wudao forcefully defeated the Ming Imperial Son, severely injuring him, knocking him from the sky to the ground, covered in blood.
The world was shocked and terrified!
Ye Wudao, truly worthy of being the son of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, was actually this terrifying.
The Ming Imperial Son, his spirit dimmed, left dejectedly.
The Ming Emperor, who had been observing in secret all along, let out a long sigh.
Although he had poured endless resources into his son, even going so far as to baptize him with his own Emperor Dao essence and recite Emperor scriptures daily, causing the Ming Imperial Son to surpass all previous Imperial sons and daughters in every aspect, it was a pity that he still fell far short compared to Ye Wudao.
After all, he was the son of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, an Innate Supreme One, and the personal disciple of two supreme Giants. In every aspect, the gap was simply too vast.
The Ming Emperor could see that Ye Wudao's Innate Supreme Dao Fruit had indeed been severed, and the power of his Innate Supreme Emperor Physique was sealed. Otherwise, the power of that Innate Supreme Emperor Physique alone would have been enough to slap the Ming Imperial Son to death a thousand times over with ease.
The reason the present Ye Wudao was so domineering and invincible was purely due to his own capabilities.
One could imagine to what level Ye Wudao had grown under the guidance of two Primordial Giants over the past century. To be able to fight against the heavens at the Fourfold Heaven of the Heavenly King realm against a Sixfold Heaven opponent, and forcefully defeat the Ming Imperial Son at Sixfold Heaven in a mere twenty exchanges, was absolutely extraordinary.
