The endless, supremely powerful corpses, which encompassed countless supreme beings from an entire epoch, gathered together, were something even a Half-Step Overlord would be deeply wary of.
Now, however, the Heaven-Burying Graveyard had been taken away by the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
Furthermore, the World-Burying Demon Ancestor could sense that his connection to the Heaven-Burying Graveyard had been completely severed. It was as if that graveyard had vanished without a trace, entering another unknown spatiotemporal dimension, beyond his control.
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor, hand over the Heaven-Burying Graveyard to this Ancestor immediately!"
The World-Burying Demon Ancestor roared, charging forward with blood-red eyes, launching a fierce attack.
However, a mere Half-Step Overlord was no match for Ye Chen.
A single whip kick swept across, containing absolute offensive power that tore through everything, nearly cutting the World-Burying Demon Ancestor in half at the waist.
The other two Half-Step Overlords hurriedly rushed to aid him, confronting Ye Chen.
Soon, the peak confrontation had lasted for over half an hour.
At this moment, the three Half-Step Overlords looked as if they had swallowed a dead rat, their expressions extremely gloomy. This was because the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had yet to reveal any true signs of decline; his injuries were not apparent, and he remained at his peak, boundless and vigorous, as if he had never been wounded at all.
In contrast, all three of them had been beaten bloody by the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, sustaining numerous injuries.
Although the Chaos Heavenly Emperor also had wounds, they seemed insignificant in comparison—only occasional blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Was this damned Chaos Heavenly Emperor truly injured?
Ye Chen's aura remained as blazing as the midday sun. As he attacked, unleashing supreme Chaos Dao techniques to strike the three Half-Step Overlords, he spoke, "You are mistaken. I am injured, but not as severely as you imagine."
Thus he spoke, continuously launching assaults, evolving Myriad Realms and all heavens, constructing three thousand great Daos, with even a great Universe manifesting. The Heaven-Binding Chains and Heaven-Burying Stele were also present.
Especially Ye Chen's own strength, which was extremely powerful, far surpassing that of the three.
As a result, even with the three joining forces in a combined assault, they could not gain the slightest upper hand.
Outside, the various venerables only saw the three Half-Step Overlords enter the Chaos Heaven Mansion. Not long after, an immense, boundless giant cauldron descended, swallowing and inverting over them, causing a shudder of shock. Wasn't that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Chaos Great Cauldron?
Its appearance now, inverting over everything—could it be that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had awakened and taken action, sealing the three Half-Step Overlords inside for a peak confrontation?
Unfortunately, the Chaos Great Cauldron sealed off everything; the outside world could not perceive what was happening within, whether the most terrifying battle was unfolding.
But the various venerables were tense. Whether it was the Chaos Heavenly Emperor or the three Half-Step Overlords, they could be considered among the most powerful individuals in the current Chaos Sea.
They were also eager to know the outcome of the battle.
Even Myriad Swords Imperial Venerable and the other venerables from the Chaos Sea, who had originally intended to execute the 'pack of tigers devouring the dragon' plan, did not dare act rashly at this moment.
They feared that if the Chaos Heavenly Emperor ultimately did not die, he would emerge for revenge.
In this world, everyone knew that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was invincible in battle. Although his life span was only a few million years, he had already performed miracles multiple times, defying common logic.
Within the Chaos Great Cauldron, it was as if a brand new Chaos Ancient Universe had formed, isolating everything, imperceptible from the outside.
During the peak confrontation, Ye Chen suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood. Countless pores all over his body gushed with vast amounts of blood, all containing rich Chaos essence.
On his supposedly indestructible physique, numerous dense cracks appeared, startlingly conspicuous like those on porcelain.
Blood seeped not only from his pores but also from these physical fissures.
This immediately excited the three Half-Step Overlords. "That's it! The Chaos Heavenly Emperor is powerful enough that he has been forcibly suppressing his Dao Collapse until now. But after continuously employing excessively powerful strength and enduring our combined attacks, he can no longer maintain the suppression. Thus, the Dao Collapse is beginning to manifest!"
Ye Chen coughed blood from the corner of his mouth, appearing sickly and covered in blood, his injuries far more severe than before.
What the three Half-Step Overlords said was not entirely wrong; he truly had Dao Collapse injuries.
In the past, he had first endured the bombardment of the Origin Land's heavenly laws, then been struck by a true Eternal Heavenly Venerate, and finally engaged in an ultimate battle with the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will.
After the war, he was severely wounded, his Chaos Origin itself cracked, the injuries extremely grave. Only by relying on his own powerful cultivation did he forcibly suppress them, preventing a final eruption.
Later, he immediately consumed an eleventh-rank Inverse Heavenly Emperor Pill, suppressing part of the injuries. Over the years, he had been in seclusion healing, beginning to recover in a positive direction.
However, the sudden appearance of the three Half-Step Overlords and such an intense battle had caused his Dao injuries, which should have been more than half healed, to erupt, leading to the manifestation of Dao Collapse.
Now, he was somewhat unable to continue suppressing it; the Dao Collapse was appearing.
On his Chaos Origin, countless cracks had emerged.
"I do have Dao Collapse injuries, but before they fully erupt, killing you all is not a problem!"
Ye Chen coughed up another large mouthful of blood; even the blood itself seemed to be collapsing from the Dao, burning.
But the light in his eyes did not dim; instead, it grew more blazing. Radiant light suddenly burst from his entire physique as all his Chaos Saint Blood flowed back, forcibly suppressed, elevating him to his strongest state.
Boom—
All heavens and myriad worlds shook violently.
At this moment, Ye Chen displayed his peerless battle might, instantly arriving before the Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor. Like an invincible war god, he let out a great shout. The power of his Origin Universe surged forth; the Immortal Dao, God Dao, Universe Chaos Body, and other main supreme combat strengthsturbulent together, condensed into a single, full-force strike that killed its way over.
At this moment, the Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor felt an immense sense of crisis emerging, as if being struck by this blow would plunge him into a life-or-death peril.
"No! I am the Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor, the God Ancestor of the World-Boundary Heavenly Clan, a great existence destined to become a Heavenly Venerate in the future! I cannot die like this!"
"Thirty-Three Heavens!"
The Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor also roared, unleashing his strongest forbidden divine ability at the Half-Step Overlord level.
Especially the Cosmic Heaven Tower surged violently, manifesting the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Each heaven was vast, boundless, and limitless, with immeasurable supreme laws manifesting, as if connected to the Myriad Realms.
The Thirty-Three Heavens were connected to the Thirty-Three Myriad Realm Heavens and Earths.
Moreover, vaguely, on each of these endless heavens, a figure of an ancient, invincible, supreme forbidden existence appeared, as if they could not exist in this world. The moment they appeared, the Myriad Realms would collapse, and everything would return to the origin point.
This was the Cosmic Heaven God Ancestor's strongest forbidden divine ability—Thirty-Three Heavens!
In prehistory, he was a cultivator from the Origin Land, a descendant of the World-Boundary Heavenly Venerate, and had reached an extremely high level.
During the long eons in the Origin Land, he had obtained the bloodlines of thirty-three Eternal Heavenly Venerates.
Later, through continuous cultivation, evolution, and refinement, he ultimately constructed the Thirty-Three Heavens Great Method.
The Thirty-Three Heavensenacting / manifesting the thirty-three Eternal Heavenly Venerates of the Origin Land.
Now, within the Thirty-Three Heavens, an Eternal Heavenly Venerate presided over each, suppressing one side.
