"You won't be leaving. Come back!"
The Heavenly Clan's Great Supreme spoke indifferently. At the same time, he moved as well, though it was merely a single palm pressing downwards.
Heaven-Mending City immediately trembled violently. In an instant, countless patterns of the Great Dao manifested, many of them containing Heavenly Might—they were Eternal Heavenly Patterns, densely packed, completely enveloping the entire Heaven-Mending City and forming an absolute confinement.
"Eternal Heavenly Patterns interweaving, sealing the entire city! Heaven-Mending City truly is an ancient city left behind by a Heavenly Venerate!"
"I truly never imagined that Heaven-Mending City really is an ancient city bequeathed by a Heavenly Venerate."
"It was merely speculation before, but now it's confirmed!"
Within the city, countless powerhouses were shocked beyond measure, clearly stunned by the countless veins that had abruptly surged forth from Heaven-Mending City. No one could have imagined that Heaven-Mending City was truly a Heavenly City left behind by a supreme Heavenly Venerate. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
Inside the Heaven-Mending Ancient Hall, at this moment, the Heaven-Mending City Lord's expression was as dark as water as he looked towards the Supreme Realm Overlord of the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan and said in a heavy voice, "Great Supreme Wan Shen, may I ask what is the meaning of this?"
Heaven-Mending City was an ancient Heavenly Venerate city belonging to the lineage of the Heaven-Mending City Lord.
Although, with the means of a Supreme Realm Overlord, activating the Eternal Heavenly Patterns of Heaven-Mending City was not an issue, to directly bypass him, the Heaven-Mending City Lord, to activate them without a single word of inquiry—such an approach was simply too excessive.
Great Supreme Wan Shen now said lightly, "My apologies. To prevent these Origin Realm criminals from leaving, I had no choice but to immediately activate the Eternal Heavenly Patterns of Heaven-Mending City to stop them."
Though he said 'apologies,' there was not the slightest hint of apology in his tone; it remained very indifferent. He didn't even deign to look directly at the Heaven-Mending City Lord as he spoke.
The Heaven-Mending City Lord's expression darkened further, yet he did not speak again.
Because, at present, he could not afford to offend Great Supreme Wan Shen, nor could he afford to offend the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan.
The Heaven-Mending Young City Lord's expression was also quite grim, though he understood some of the reasons.
Within the Heaven-Mending Ancient Hall, numerous gazes fell upon Great Supreme Wan Shen, filled with fluctuating awe and fear.
Although this was the Heaven-Mending City Lord's territory, Great Supreme Wan Shen was, after all, a Great Supreme of his generation. Even here, he had no need to fear anything, directly bypassing the Heaven-Mending City Lord to activate the Eternal Heavenly Patterns of the Heaven-Mending Ancient City.
It was easy to imagine the power of a Supreme Realm Overlord—sufficient to disregard all.
*Boom!*
In the eastern part of Heaven-Mending City, Qian Xun threw a punch towards the blockade formed by the Great Dao patterns interwoven from the Eternal Heavenly Patterns surging from the city walls.
However, even someone as powerful as him could not break through it immediately.
Anything, once imbued with Eternal Heavenly Patterns, could be elevated directly to an entirely new level.
"You won't be leaving."
Great Supreme Wan Shen said indifferently, casually slapping a palm towards Qian Xun and his son from a distance.
Although it was merely a casual slap from a Supreme Realm Overlord, Qian Xun dared not be careless. His expression turned extremely grave as he directly placed the damaged Heavenly Gate horizontally before him, simultaneously activating strands of Eternal Heavenly Patterns.
*Boom!*
Great Supreme Wan Shen's attack was blocked.
However, even with the damaged Heavenly Gate blocking, a portion of the terrifying force still crashed down upon Qian Xun and his son. Qian Xun immediately used his own body to withstand that force. The blood energy within him surged violently, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The Supreme Realm was too terrifying. Qian Xun was already very strong, but in comparison, there was still a vast gap.
Now, he was beginning to think of ways to escape this calamity.
Should he ask the War God Sovereign for rescue?
Or others from the Origin Realm?
"Using my clan's Heavenly Venerate Seed's Heavenly Gate to block—you do have some capability."
Great Supreme Wan Shen naturally recognized that damaged Heavenly Gate. However, let alone a damaged Heavenly Gate, even a complete one would not give him pause.
Because he was a Great Supreme.
The might of the Great Supreme grew even more blazing, like a heavenly sun. A war sword appeared in his hand. Using Supreme Power, he pierced through the void, instantly striking the damaged Heavenly Gate.
*Boom!*
The damaged Heavenly Gate, along with Qian Xun and his son, were sent flying, crashing heavily against the heavenly wall formed by the interwoven Great Dao veins.
A massive sword scar even appeared on the damaged Heavenly Gate.
Clearly, a damaged Heavenly Gate was fundamentally incapable of withstanding the attack of a Supreme Realm Overlord.
It must be understood that a Supreme Realm Overlord was originally the final realm before the Eternal Heavenly Venerate, the existence closest to Eternity.
For a damaged Heavenly Gate to attempt to block a Great Supreme's attack was nothing but a fool's dream.
Blood trickled from the corner of Qian Xun's mouth. A Supreme Realm Overlord was too powerful; he was still no match.
Inside the tavern, Ye Chen was still savoring his wine, though the look he cast towards Qian Xun held an additional trace of gentleness.
An epoch had passed. Qian Xun, this eldest son of his, had also grown tremendously, becoming a Great Truth-level half-step Overlord. Moreover, he could barely contend with a Supreme Realm Overlord.
However, Ye Chen still had no impulse to intervene.
With his abilities, though he initially believed himself to be at the Heaven-Penetrating level, it now seemed he was more than that.
At the very least, he felt he had the capability to save Qian Xun and his son.
However, he also wanted to use Great Supreme Wan Shen to properly temper the two of them.
Using a Supreme Realm Overlord as a whetstone was a rare and excellent opportunity.
Thus, Ye Chen was quite content to watch this scene unfold.
*Boom!*
At this moment, Qian Xun's Heavenly Venerable Bloodline fully awakened.
Wave after wave of terrifying power continuously stirred to life within his body.
As Ye Chen's eldest son, even though he was a child born in his previous life during the Deity Transformation period, the Heavenly Venerable Bloodline was profoundly mysterious. It could connect past and present lives, causing all the bloodlines of his descendants to be directly transformed into the most powerful Heavenly Venerable Bloodline when he became an Eternal Heavenly Venerate.
Naturally, Qian Xun had also obtained the Heavenly Venerable Bloodline, and it was the first-generation Heavenly Venerable Bloodline. His entire body flowed with absolutely pure Heavenly Venerable Bloodline, his potential immeasurably powerful. At this moment of activation, his strength instantly increased manyfold. For a fleeting moment, it seemed as if a supreme Heavenly Venerate resided within his body, with strands of Eternal Heavenly Patterns manifesting from within his bloodline, amplifying his power!
In an instant, Qian Xun's combat power rose dramatically, increasing many times over.
Around him, Heavenly Might as deep as an abyss and vast as the sea seemed to surge.
He carried the damaged Heavenly Gate on his back, facing Great Supreme Wan Shen directly.
*Boom!*
With the Heavenly Venerable Bloodline fully activated, the damaged Heavenly Gate also gave rise to an inconceivable power. Strands of Eternal Heavenly Patterns manifested, rapidly constructing and re-evolving at the damaged sections of the Heavenly Gate, gradually becoming complete once more.
Soon, a complete Heavenly Gate appeared before the eyes of the world—magnificent, majestic, and immense, no less grand than the Heaven-Mending Ancient Hall. It hovered in the sky above Heaven-Mending City, emanating an ancient and supremely lofty aura of the Heavenly Dao.
Everyone was utterly stunned. The War God Sovereign had actually caused the latent Eternal Heavenly Patterns within the damaged Heavenly Gate to be fully activated, even reconstructing it into a complete supreme Heavenly Gate.
Moreover, on that Heavenly Gate, there was a plaque inscribed with three great characters written in supreme Heavenly Patterns—Heaven-Mending Gate!
