Boom! Rumble!
The supreme powers of the Chaos Sea within the pierced passage were undergoing a special transformation, being rebaptized by the Heaven and Earth Rules originating from the Origin Land.
The incomplete Heaven and Earth Rules belonging to the Deficient Primordial Realm of the Chaos Sea were being expelled from their bodies, replaced by the complete Heaven and Earth Rules of the Origin Land.
This was all necessary.
To enter the Origin Land, one must undergo such a baptism.
The Origin Land did not permit the existence of incomplete Heaven and Earth Rules; otherwise, one would be rejected.
Parts of the supreme powers' bodies continuously exploded, sending out vast clouds of blood mist. Even their sturdy Dao bones fractured and shattered.
The incomplete Primordial Realm Heaven and Earth Rules within them were dissipating, their Order Divine Chains disintegrating, while new Heaven and Earth Rules and Order Divine Chains from the Origin Land rushed in to take their place.
During the baptism, the auras of the supreme powers gradually grew stronger.
Clearly, enduring the baptism of the Origin Land's complete Heaven and Earth Rules would make the supreme powers even more powerful.
However, all of this required considerable time; it could not be accomplished in one leap.
Any who acted rashly, like the few overlords earlier, were directly crushed by the Origin Land's Heaven and Earth Rules, utterly destroyed, body and soul annihilated.
The Heaven and Earth Rules of the Origin Land were extremely powerful, for true Eternal Heavenly Venerates existed there, bolstered by the Eternal Heavenly Dao, making them impossible to resist.
Only the five Taishang realm Overlords—the Heavenly Emperor, Shidai, the Immortal Ancestor, Zhenyuan Taishang, and the Universe Emperor—were special. They did not need to undergo the baptism of the Origin Land's Heaven and Earth Rules and could directly step into the Origin Land.
However, each was protecting their respective forces as they entered the Origin Land.
As long as they persevered, entering the Origin Land was not a problem.
Within the Zhenjie Tian Clan, several prehistoric old-timers were also undergoing the baptism of the Origin Land's Heaven and Earth Rules, revealing looks of excitement.
After countless epochs, spanning more than one Chaos Era, they could finally return to the Origin Land.
However, having stayed in the Deficient Primordial Realm for too long, the Heaven and Earth Rules within their bodies had been assimilated and were no longer flawless. Now, returning to the Origin Land, they too had to baptize themselves.
Ye Chen gazed into the distance at the completely pierced Origin Ancient Path to the Origin Land, immediately frowning and showing a hint of surprise.
He hadn't expected the Origin Land to truly be breached.
Even though he thought it highly likely, he was still quite surprised when it actually happened.
At the same time, a flicker of desire appeared in his eyes.
Crossing that passage would lead to the legendary ultimate land—the Origin Land!
The place where true Eternal Heavenly Venerates could be born, and the land all Sovereigns and above in the Deficient Primordial Realm exhausted their lives pursuing.
If he could enter the Origin Land, he would undoubtedly be able to complete his Chaos Great Dao, achieving true perfection.
Suddenly, Ye Chen remembered the Blood-Stained Future.
In the Blood-Stained Future, everything would be buried; no one in the Chaos Sea could avoid it.
But now the Origin Land had appeared, a passage breached. If he entered the Origin Land, perhaps he could evade the arrival of the world-ending Blood-Stained Future, avoid the heavens being stained with blood.
However, Ye Chen was not certain.
Beside him, the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will, sealed by the Kun Tian Suo, roared, its cries shattering endless void as it struggled to break free completely.
It also sensed the aura of the Origin Land, the place of its true birth, now finally opened.
Yet it was trapped here, unable to return, filled with boundless rage that shot to the heavens.
Endless darkness rolled forth, frantically assaulting the Kun Tian Suo.
But it was futile. The Kun Tian Suo sealed heaven and earth; it was a Taishang realm Dao Weapon left by the Heavenly Emperor, completely sealing this domain and trapping the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will, preventing its escape.
Moreover, right there was Ye Chen, the strongest Half-Step Overlord, who, with the Kun Tian Suo's assistance, continuously and fiercely attacked the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will, tearing apart vast swathes of darkness and devouring them.
The Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will also originated from the Origin Land, possessing special origin power from there, which could likewise help Ye Chen's Chaos Great Dao progress toward perfection.
"Damnable Chaos Heavenly Emperor, even if you want to kill this sovereign, you will pay a price!" the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will bellowed, manifesting the Primordial Ancestor's true form, wielding a demonic halberd as it fiercely attacked Ye Chen, endless black light appearing.
Behind it, an endless dark army surged, transforming into terrifying dark torrents that rolled toward Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's body was enveloped in a cosmic phantom, incredibly lifelike, impervious to all arts!
A vague Heavenly Dao Millstone also appeared, continuously grinding away the endless darkness.
He stepped forward atop a cauldron, ten Sealing Gates manifesting behind him to suppress all directions, cooperating with the Kun Tian Suo to suppress the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will.
During the battle, the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will continuously had layers of darkness ground away, dissipating bit by bit, growing visibly weaker.
Ye Chen, in turn, grew stronger as his foe weakened, a terrifying aura soaring skyward.
Vaguely, he continuously approached the barrier of the Taishang realm. He was no longer an ordinary Half-Step Overlord but was on the verge of becoming a true Taishang realm Overlord.
Ye Chen had a feeling that as long as he successfully devoured the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will, becoming a Taishang realm Overlord would not be a problem.
Boom! Rumble!
Terrifying fluctuations emanated from the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path.
The five Taishang realm Overlords had smoothly entered the Origin Land, gazing from the other side of the radiant passage toward the Deficient Primordial Realm.
Under their protection, the supreme powers were also stepping into the Origin Land.
Witnessing this, Ye Chen had another thought. He sent a mental message to his wives Yi Wu, the Goddess, and others, as well as his children, guarding within the Chaos Heavenly Mansion: "Now that the Origin Land is wide open, you should also enter. This is a rare opportunity that comes once in a thousand ages. Who knows how long it will take for the next opening."
He wanted his loved ones to enter the Origin Land and safely pass through the Blood-Stained Future.
Perhaps only the Origin Land was the true place to weather the calamity.
Even if the Blood-Stained Future occurred in the Chaos Sea, it would only affect the Deficient Primordial Realm and could not harm the Origin Land, guarded by nine Eternal Heavenly Venerates.
"What about you?"
The Goddess, Yi Wu, Chen'er, A Beinu, and his other beloved wives looked at Ye Chen, suddenly feeling a tremor in their hearts.
Faintly, they sensed that this time, Ye Chen would leave them again.
Ye Chen said, "You go first. After I suppress the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will, I will also enter the Origin Land!"
As long as the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will remained unsubdued for a day, he could not truly enter the Origin Land with peace of mind.
The threat of the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will was too great. Even if Ye Chen wished to enter the Origin Land, he must first suppress it to prevent it from wreaking havoc throughout the Chaos Sea's Deficient Primordial Realm.
