The spacetime tunnel completely annihilated, with chaotic light shimmering, erasing all traces.
Even a Supreme Realm Overlord would find it difficult to track the whereabouts of Qian Xun and his son.
Everything happened with unbelievable speed. Before anyone could react, Qian Xun and Qian Wentian, father and son, had vanished, taking with them Wan Tai Huangzun, the Heavenly Venerate seed of the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan.
Wan Shen Great Supreme's expression turned gloomy. He wanted to give chase, but a blurry figure stood before him, blocking his path.
"Damn it!"
Wan Shen Great Supreme's gaze, filled with absolute killing intent, fell upon the blurry figure. His Supreme Battle Sword erupted with boundless sword light as he roared, "This One cares not for your identity. But today, if you dare oppose This One, you shall be torn to pieces!"
A Supreme Realm Overlord unleashing his full power was terrifying beyond measure. Under his roar, it seemed as if the entire Heaven-Mending City would explode, an unimaginable, great terror.
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City also tensed, looking at the blurry figure with considerable surprise.
The appearance of this person, even for him—a Supreme Realm Overlord of his generation, a descendant of the Heaven-Mending Heavenly Venerate who controlled Heaven-Mending City—was undetectable. Where had he come from?
However, it gave him a slight sense of relief that this person seemed to stand opposite Wan Shen Great Supreme; otherwise, he wouldn't have intervened to save Qian Xun and Qian Wentian, that father-son pair from the Primal Realm.
"Is that so?"
The blurry figure walked towards Wan Shen Great Supreme with an air of utter calm. Even though he had suffered the joint assault of two Supreme Heavenly Venerates, nearly perished, and was now reborn in a nearly crippled state, he was not someone to be bullied.
He was Ye Chen.
Even though before him stood a Supreme Realm Overlord, an ancient overlord who had survived from the Twilight of the Heavens era to the present day.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Wan Shen Great Supreme made his move. From his body bloomed infinite radiance of the Great Dao, and ten thousand spheres of light appeared.
They were called spheres of light, but in reality, each sphere was like an ancient great world, with a deity seated within, suppressing that great world.
Ten thousand spheres of light meant ten thousand worlds—the myriad gods of all heavens.
This was precisely the origin of Wan Shen Great Supreme's title.
As Wan Shen Great Supreme attacked, within the ten thousand great worlds, the myriad gods of all heavens all awakened, opening their eyes to look down upon the world. Boundless divine might surged forth, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, terrifying beyond compare.
At this moment, the world truly felt the terror of Wan Shen Great Supreme.
It was even more terrifying than when he faced the Lord of Heaven-Mending City earlier.
This was the true, great terror of an ancient overlord!
Wan Shen Great Supreme, gripping his battle sword, traversed spacetime. The mighty power of ten thousand gods poured into the sword, causing it to ring with a metallic clang as he slashed towards the blurry figure.
This sword could sever everything in the mortal world; nothing could block it.
It was also Wan Shen Great Supreme's absolutely domineering, supreme strike!
"You do possess some skill, being a Supreme Realm Overlord. But there is also a gap between Supreme Realm Overlords. This One has dominated the Origin Land for three Chaos Eras. How could a newly ascended Supreme like you dare to provoke This One!"
This terrifying, peerless strike was enough to threaten the life of a Supreme Realm Overlord.
Many Eternal Heavenly Patterns within Heaven-Mending City were extinguished under this sword. A terrifying, peerless sword radiance, like a galactic river, pierced through to the outside world, severing countless great stars from the extraterrestrial starry sky. They tumbled and exploded, transforming into the most brilliant fireworks.
In the sky, a chasm of unknown span across countless domains appeared, devouring everything.
It also alarmed countless powerful beings outside, who looked upon this place with horror.
A Supreme Realm Overlord!
An ancient and invincible Supreme Realm Overlord had made a move, and he seemed utterly frenzied.
At this time, Shi Jie Di Tianjun was rapidly traveling. With his Supreme Realm cultivation, he had already covered half the distance. Seeing that sky-piercing sword radiance from afar, he couldn't help but frown deeply. "That sword radiance seems to be unleashed by that old fellow Wan Shen from the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan. And to have forced that old fellow to this extent... This is bad!"
Boom—
Supreme light flashed around him as he accelerated.
However, to traverse half a Heavenly Domain's distance, even for a Supreme Realm Overlord, required some time.
Unless, like Wan Shan and Wan Shen, one could directly open a Heavenly Gate.
But generally, such Heavenly Gates could only be opened by supreme powerhouses of the same bloodline within a Heavenly Race, and required specific methods.
The Shi Jie Heavenly Clan had not left a related Heavenly Gate in Heaven-Mending City.
Within Heaven-Mending City, facing this terrifying sword strike, Ye Chen felt an eerie sensation—his own body was trembling, as if it held a special craving for this power.
Why was this?
Boom—
Ye Chen met it with his physical body. Even though his body had been grievously wounded by two Supreme Heavenly Venerates, it remained the body of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, indestructible. Even the terrifying strike of an ancient overlord like Wan Shen Great Supreme slammed heavily into Ye Chen.
Eerily, it did not truly harm Ye Chen. On the contrary, such a terrifying strike was devoured by his body, directly sinking into its depths and vanishing.
This scene stunned Wan Shen Great Supreme.
His peerless strike had been so easily neutralized?
Ye Chen felt Wan Shen Great Supreme's strike enter his body, followed by a series of thunderous booms.
He sensed that the Eternal Heavenly Principles left within him by the two Supreme Heavenly Venerates, which had transformed into Eternal Heavenly Shackles imprisoning his own Eternal Origin power—preventing him from unleashing Supreme Heavenly Venerate-level cultivation and hindering his recovery—were now being severed by Wan Shen Great Supreme's peerless sword strike entering his body. Many of the shackles confining his Eternal Origin were cut.
Moreover, he felt this sword strike ultimately transform into a surging, boundless force that rushed towards his limbs and bones. Like parched, barren soil in a desert, his body was moistened by this external power, and even some of his injuries began to gradually heal.
Simultaneously, Ye Chen could feel that some of his own power was becoming usable again.
Although not very strong, it was much better than being directly imprisoned by the Eternal Heavenly Principles of the two Supreme Heavenly Venerates, which had transformed into Heavenly Dao shackles.
"I never expected an attack from a Supreme Realm Overlord could actually neutralize some of the Eternal rules within me, allowing some of my injuries to heal."
Ye Chen marveled, also feeling joy. He looked at Wan Shen Great Supreme and then took the initiative to attack.
Wan Shen Great Supreme frowned, not understanding. The other party had devoured his attack. Logically, this shouldn't be possible.
After all, he was a Supreme Realm Overlord, an ancient overlord with unfathomable cultivation. Above him existed only the legendary Eternal Heavenly Venerates.
Could it be due to the cultivation method practiced by the other party?
Wan Shen Great Supreme couldn't help but speculate, though he couldn't figure it out immediately.
At this moment, he was also attacking. Wave after wave of powerful, peerless Supreme Realm assaults crazily surged forth, engulfing Ye Chen.
