The power of the Great Dao originating from the Origin Land was being frantically devoured by Ye Chen.
These were all flawless, perfected powers of the Eternal Great Dao, which had an extremely beneficial effect on him.
Soon, the Eternal Calamity within his body was completely suppressed, and the ascension that should have halted began once more.
Moreover, perhaps nourished by the Great Dao power of the Origin Land, the beating of the Pangu Heart accelerated significantly.
More importantly, Ye Chen felt that under the baptism of the Origin Land's Great Dao power, many of the flaws within his own body were gradually being filled and perfected.
At this moment, Ye Chen finally understood. Although he could ascend to Eternal Heavenly Venerate within the Deficient Primordial Realm, the realm itself was ultimately deficient, cursed by the Eternal Heavenly Venerates. Even after cultivating a perfected Eternal Great Dao, certain defects still manifested.
It wasn't a flaw in the Great Dao itself, but in other aspects, such as the soul or the physical body.
They were not obvious, and for those below the Eternal Realm, they were negligible.
Because no matter what, Ye Chen was indeed an Eternal Heavenly Venerate who completely transcended the Supreme Realm, an existence supreme and inviolable to any being below the Eternal Realm.
However, with these defects, even if Ye Chen truly became an Eternal Heavenly Venerate, he would be a Deficient Heavenly Venerate, not a truly perfected, flawless one.
He would still possess Eternal-level combat power, but in a true Eternal-level battle, these seemingly minor flaws would be infinitely magnified.
One must understand that other Eternal Heavenly Venerates were truly flawless and perfect, without a single weakness, having reached the ultimate level in all aspects.
In the short term, these flaws wouldn't matter, but over a long period, they would inevitably become fatal weaknesses.
It was like a thousand-mile dike collapsing because of an ant's nest.
Now, nourished by the truly perfected Eternal Heavenly Dao power from the Origin Land, his previous flaws were gradually being filled, truly beginning the process of perfection.
"So, I still had so many flaws on me. I originally thought I was already flawless and perfect," Ye Chen murmured, his gaze sweeping across various points within his body, discovering many subtle, hard-to-find black spots—all of them were defects.
Previously, even at the peak of the Supreme Realm, he had been unable to detect them.
But upon truly stepping into the Eternal Realm, these defects became clearly visible one by one.
Of course, they were now being filled.
Rumble—
Ye Chen felt himself becoming stronger, more powerful than ever before.
The life ascension of his promotion to the Eternal Realm, which should have slowed, began again.
And this time, it was even more intense than before.
Chaotic light of unprecedented brilliance erupted from his entire body, as if he were about to transform into an incarnation of Chaos itself. With every movement, he was filled with unparalleled chaotic might, surging through the Thirty-Three Heavenly Passes.
Ye Chen felt that under the baptism of the Origin Land's Great Dao power, the speed of his ascension to the Eternal Realm was unprecedentedly swift.
It was as if the entire Origin Land had become his backing.
The Eternal Calamity erupted violently once more—this was its final, most intense outburst. A single drop was enough to annihilate a Half-Step Overlord.
But now, Ye Chen no longer needed to be cautious. With the endless Great Dao power of the Origin Land as his backing, he could act recklessly, allowing the calamity to impact his body while also using it to temper his Chaos Saint Body, transforming it towards an Eternal Saint Body.
"All of this is because of Primordial Beginning..." Ye Chen looked deeply at the Black Hole. If not for this Black Hole left by Primordial Beginning, his attempt to ascend to the Eternal Realm would likely have been a near-impossible struggle.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Suddenly, the projections of the nine Eternal Heavenly Venerates charged at Ye Chen. The most terrifying destructive power surged forth, capable of blasting apart even the most powerful Chaos Ancient Universes like the Alien Ancient Universe or the Primordial Immortal World.
"Be careful!"
"Master!"
The many powerhouses cried out in alarm, watching as Ye Chen remained motionless, completely engulfed by the destructive storm of the nine Eternal Heavenly Venerate projections.
Great Emperor Qing Tian gritted his teeth and was about to charge over with the phantom of the Alien Ancient Universe to rescue Ye Chen.
But the next moment.
The destructive storm dissipated with a thunderous roar.
Ye Chen's figure reappeared, completely unscathed.
Around him, the most blazing, extreme chaotic light shone brilliantly.
From his body emanated a supreme, transcendent pressure that soared above the Supreme Realm—
Eternal Heavenly Might!
The entire world trembled in terror!
"Is this... the true power of the Eternal Realm?"
Ye Chen looked at his fist. Although the light was still chaotic light, the energy contained within had long since undergone a qualitative change, completing ninety percent of its transformation and possessing a portion of Eternal-level power.
He whispered softly, then suddenly punched forward.
Boom!—
It was as if countless Chaos Ancient Universes were madly crashing forward.
The Thirty-Three Heavenly Passes collapsed massively, and the projections of the nine Eternal Heavenly Venerates shattered directly.
The Ancient Path of Origins was completely pierced through to the Origin Land!
An opening countless times larger than the Black Hole appeared before them.
Even more boundless Great Dao power from the Origin Land surged over continuously. It was like a tall dam being breached—what was originally just a small opening for flood discharge instantly collapsed entirely, unleashing an infinite deluge.
That scene was truly astonishing.
At the same time, as that endless Great Dao power from the Origin Land flooded in, the many powerhouses of the Chaos Sea who had followed Ye Chen into battle were immediately baptized. They felt their auras rising steadily.
It wasn't necessarily an ascension in realm, but more like what Ye Chen had experienced earlier—filling the flaws in their Great Dao.
Originally, they were all at least at the level of Supreme Ones or Great Emperors. Now, under the frenzied impact of the endless Origin Land Great Dao power, the many flaws accumulated from cultivating within the Deficient Primordial Realm were rapidly being made whole. At the same time, they were rapidly growing stronger.
It was as if a Supreme One's combat power was originally only 'one' because, within the Deficient Primordial Realm, that was the highest point they could reach under the condition of an incomplete Heaven and Earth Great Dao.
But now, after being perfected by the flawless Great Dao power of the Origin Land, their power directly doubled, rising by more than just one level.
They were stronger!
"So powerful! I feel like I've become much stronger in an instant!"
A Supreme One looked at himself in shock, sensing the power within his body boiling like never before, continuously surging forth with far greater strength than before.
Even Pan Dao Immortal Venerable One, Shi Baitian, Jian Wuhen, Wang Xiong, Yan Wushuang, the Ancient Desolate Demon God, and others were the same. Immortal Dao power blazed brilliantly around them, instantly reaching the kingly level among Immortal Venerable Ones, akin to figures like the Finality Immortal Venerable One, the Eternal Ancient level, or the Immortal Great Heavenly Venerate of the past.
Yet, they had merely borrowed the transformative power of the Origin Land's Great Dao. In just a moment, they had saved themselves multiple epochs of cultivation, instantly reaching this step.
Great Emperor Qing Tian's transformation was even more astonishing. He instantly rose from the level of the strongest Half-Step Overlords like the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will to a level comparable to the Supreme Realm.
However, he still was not in the Supreme Realm, but his combat power was strong enough to rival it—and permanently so, not just temporarily.
Compared to before, it was a world of difference.
