That towering, world-shaking figure did not speak. A sword appeared in his hand.
Sword Wushuang. The moment it appeared, it radiated boundless, infinite power.
The Origin Land trembled violently, and time itself danced wildly.
A single slash was unleashed.
Whoosh—
An inconceivable Sword Dao Long River surged forth, as if capable of severing all the ages, cleaving through all obstacles as it slashed towards the three drops of Eternal True Blood.
Even a Taishang Overlord facing this sword would feel certain death was inevitable.
It was the ultimate strike of an Eternal Heavenly Venerate, transcending past and present, inconceivable, capable of utterly annihilating everything about a person—from the moment of their birth to the moment of their death, involving time itself, and even the memories others held of them. All that was tangible and intangible would be completely erased from the world.
"Enough! If you truly dare this, we will banish you back to the Deficient Primordial Realm once more, never to return for all eternity!"
An Eternal Heavenly Venerate roared in fury, his shout shaking the Origin Land as he moved to block the Sword Dao Long River.
In a daze, infinite bloody light manifested, causing who knew how many heavens and earths within the Origin Land to be annihilated.
Countless billions upon billions of immeasurable living beings were extinguished because of it.
The clash between Eternal Heavenly Venerates was truly inconceivable, each possessing supreme, unimaginable power that touched upon the legendary Eternal Realm—a state of undying, indestructible power beyond imagination, beyond visualization.
Even Taishang Overlords dared not look directly, averting their gazes.
An ancient titan tried to observe, but a confrontation involving the Eternal Realm was simply not something his level could witness. With a deafening boom, his eyes were annihilated, his soul shattered, his body pulverized. Only with great difficulty did he painfully reform, nearly perishing from the mere aftershocks.
An ancient titan, merely by observing, suffered such an impact. It was simply unimaginable.
This demonstrated just how supremely exalted Eternal Heavenly Venerates were, beings who stood utterly above all else.
Everything concerning the Eternal Realm was filled with immeasurably strange and mighty power.
The Sword Dao Long River caught up to the three drops of Eternal True Blood, forcibly annihilating two of them.
Only one drop remained, protected, successfully tearing through space to escape.
This drop of Eternal True Blood tore through the void, arriving beneath the Origin Land—the suppressed Deficient Primordial Realm.
The Eternal True Blood merged into the Heavenly Thought of Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable, causing his aura to strengthen considerably.
However, it ultimately fell far short of what was imagined.
"I never imagined that person has already reclaimed his Heavenly Position. This is beyond our expectations; his methods are no small matter," the Heavenly Thought of Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable said coldly. Although the infusion of one drop of Eternal True Blood had strengthened the Heavenly Thought significantly, the loss of two drops was a heavy blow.
Even for one as powerful as an Eternal Heavenly Venerate, who knew how many eons of cultivation would be required to recover two drops of Eternal True Blood.
Ultimately, he was a stone body transformed into a flesh-and-blood form. The amount of Eternal True Blood he possessed was far less than other Eternal Heavenly Venerates, and each drop was comparable to Eternal Essence Blood, exceedingly precious.
If all three drops had merged into the Heavenly Thought body, this incarnation could have unleashed thirty percent of the true body's power. Sniping a Quasi-Eternal being in the midst of a tribulation ascension would not have been a problem.
"That person from back then was no simple figure either. Although he fell heavily wounded in that battle, do not forget his title, his techniques. Though his Eternal Soul was banished into the Deficient Primordial Realm, he obtained one-third of Pangu's soul, successfully reincarnating and cultivating anew. The him of today is likely even stronger than he was back then."
The Heavenly Thoughts of the other two Eternal Heavenly Venerates present spoke, harboring a degree of wariness towards the Eternal Heavenly Venerate who had just struck.
That person who had reclaimed his Heavenly Position might be even more terrifying than before.
"Hmph, so what if he's reclaimed his Heavenly Position? He still has to hide and skulk about now. At worst, once this matter is concluded, the three of us will take action and banish him back to the Deficient Primordial Realm. I refuse to believe the current him can still defy the heavens," one of the Eternal Heavenly Venerates' Heavenly Thoughts said indifferently. "It's that kid in the Deficient Primordial Realm who is the real concern. He's already eighty percent transformed into the Eternal Realm. We cannot be careless; we must kill him as soon as possible, not allowing him to truly become Eternal. Otherwise, it will be a catastrophe."
"Is that so? Let's see if, after fusing the Eternal True Blood, we can kill him. If not, we shall mobilize our true bodies. No matter what, we must utterly strangle him!" The Heavenly Thought of Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable declared, carrying infinite Eternal might as he took a step forward, directly entering the Deficient Primordial Realm.
Boom—
Just as he was about to enter the Deficient Primordial Realm, the realm trembled violently.
Layer upon layer of supreme power manifested, blocking the Heavenly Thought of Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable from advancing further.
The Heavenly Thought knew this was a protective measure left behind by the Great God Pangu in ancient times, capable of blocking the entry of Eternal Heavenly Venerates from the Origin Land.
But how could Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable fear this? He sneered coldly, "Pangu, you think a mere remnant of power can block this venerable one's entry? You think too highly of yourself."
Boom—
A stone halberd appeared in his hand, the weapon that had accompanied him in proving his Eternal Dao.
Since time immemorial, it had fought alongside him, even in that great battle of the Twilight of the Heavens long ago. Though it shattered then, having drunk the blood of multiple Eternal Heavenly Venerates, it was reforged and became incomparably powerful.
Naturally, what he held now was not the true Eternal Stone Halberd, but a manifestation conjured from Eternal rules. Yet it was still immensely fearsome.
The halberd struck, attacking along an Eternal trajectory, terrifyingly powerful, capable of slaying a Taishang Overlord with ease.
Now it madly assailed the protective light curtain—the boundary shield left by the Great God Pangu guarding the Deficient Primordial Realm.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, that protective light curtain, resembling egg white, was simply too indestructible, too everlasting. Even the Heavenly Thought of Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable, infused with a drop of Eternal True Blood, was unexpectedly unable to successfully breach it.
The other two Eternal Heavenly Venerates sighed with some admiration. "As expected of the man who could contend with the Primordial Heavenly Venerate for the title of King of Heavenly Venerates. Even after falling for endless eons, the protective power he left behind is still something we, in our non-true-body forms, cannot break through."
"Pangu, as an enemy, even in death, he is worthy of respect!"
Within the Deficient Primordial Realm, Ye Chen naturally witnessed all of this. Knowing it was the various protections left by the Great God Pangu, his confidence in impacting the Eternal Realm grew even stronger.
Crack—
Suddenly, within the Origin Land, the true body of Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable moved, directly tearing through the void and vanishing.
The expression of that towering figure, currently confronting the other two Eternal Heavenly Venerates, shifted slightly.
Not good. Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable had actually moved his true body.
However, with two Eternal Heavenly Venerates blocking his path, he could not rush to aid Ye Chen, who was undergoing his tribulation within the Deficient Primordial Realm.
"Pangu, let's see how you stop me this time!"
The true body of Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable descended. The strength of that Eternal Heavenly Might far surpassed that of the earlier Heavenly Thought by an immeasurable degree, boundless and limitless, pressing down upon the Deficient Primordial Realm.
The entire Deficient Primordial Realm trembled violently.
