An indescribable palm force shot out from Heaven-Mending City, passing through a spatial rift and traversing endless space. In the blink of an eye, it appeared above the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces, instantly transforming into a peerless, colossal hand.
This hand was boundless, encompassing the entire Qingtian Palace, radiating an immeasurable Heavenly Dao imposing might. It descended from above, slamming down viciously upon Qingtian Palace.
"How dare you!"
Qingtian Great Venerable within Qingtian Palace was the first to sense it. He soared into the sky, intending to stop it.
But the palm imprint was faster!
Boom—
Before anyone could react, they saw the originally magnificent Qingtian Palace instantly turn to dust. All the super arrays deployed outside had long since been silently annihilated into ashes.
With a single palm, Qingtian Palace was shattered!
Outside Qingtian Palace, the many supreme powerlings stationed there were also reduced to powder, vanishing into nothingness.
Among them, only one majestic figure shot into the sky, his black hair whipping wildly, his face filled with fury.
"Don't provoke me, because you can't afford to."
The moment Qingtian Palace was shattered, a voice filled with absolute contempt rang out, like thunder exploding, shaking the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces.
The heavens were in an uproar.
Countless powerlings within the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces were horrified. Was it that Ancient Great Venerable from Heaven-Mending City?
He actually dared to be so rebellious and disrespectful, attacking the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces, and moreover, attacking Qingtian Great Venerable himself.
Although Qingtian Great Venerable himself was unharmed, Qingtian Palace represented him. Its direct destruction was a public slap in the face to Qingtian Great Venerable before the entire world.
How could an Ancient Great Venerable and lord of the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces like Qingtian Great Venerable let this rest?
"Good, very good! You dare to openly provoke this venerable one's dignity, provoke the dignity of the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces!"
Qingtian Great Venerable's face was full of rage.
Never had anyone dared to show him such contempt. Other Ancient Great Venerables wouldn't dare, and even if a Supreme Heavenly Venerate had the qualification, they wouldn't act in this manner.
Now, within Heaven-Mending City, there was actually someone who dared to scorn him like this, completely disregarding him.
How could he tolerate this?
From his body erupted an infinite imposing might akin to a universe exploding, sweeping down from above across the Thirty-Three Heavenly Domains.
The Thirty-Three Heavens trembled violently, infinite space-time collapsed, and countless powerlings of the Celestial Palaces collapsed, unable to withstand this Great Venerable's might.
The entire world shook, looking up in terror at that peerless figure within the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces.
At this moment, they all knew it must be that Ancient Great Venerable from Heaven-Mending City who had struck, shattering Qingtian Palace.
They also knew an Ancient Great Venerable wouldn't submit so easily, but they never expected him to be so fierce, directly launching an attack, provoking Qingtian Great Venerable and the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces before the entire world.
Even for an Ancient Great Venerable, such audacity was truly immense.
"Regardless of your identity, today, you shall vanish along with the remnants of the Heaven-Mending Clan."
On the ruins of Qingtian Palace within the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces, Qingtian Great Venerable spoke coldly. Infinite order and rules surged forth, and streaks of Eternal Heavenly Script appeared, gathering immeasurable Great Dao power.
Finally, in Qingtian Great Venerable's hand, a war halberd materialized.
The Eternal Stone Halberd!
Of course, this wasn't the true Eternal Stone Halberd, but one condensed by Qingtian Great Venerable using his Great Venerable power, also enveloping terrifying streaks of Eternal Heavenly Script. It contained absolutely dreadful imposing might, not inferior to the Eternal Stone Halberd revived by Wan Xing Taishang, perhaps even stronger.
Ultimately, Wan Xing Taishang couldn't perfectly revive the Eternal Stone Halberd; otherwise, Ye Chen wouldn't have so easily suppressed that Heavenly Venerate's ancient weapon.
But the Eternal Stone Halberd condensed by Qingtian Great Venerable with his Great Venerable power was, in terms of terror, even superior, containing his boundless fury and killing intent towards Ye Chen.
The moment this Eternal Stone Halberd appeared, the atmosphere of the entire Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces changed.
Within the Celestial Palaces, countless powerlings felt as if space-time had solidified, rendering them immobile.
Several Supreme Realm Overlords also felt a terrifying oppressive force like Mount Tai bearing down upon them.
"Die!"
Qingtian Great Venerable, gripping the Eternal Stone Halberd, hurled it with force.
Boom—
The Eternal Stone Halberd instantly transformed into a pillar supporting the heavens, boundless and immense, spanning billions of miles, making even star rivers appear minuscule before it.
The colossal Eternal Stone Halberd rumbled from the highest point of the firmament towards Heaven-Mending City, thrusting at Ye Chen.
This Eternal Stone Halberd possessed unprecedented imposing might—the Heavenly Dao imposing might of an Ancient Great Venerable. It traversed the starry sky at an inconceivable speed.
Its imposing might instantly affected countless trillions of miles, forcibly dragging massive star domains along, with infinite great stars being drawn in, following the stone halberd across the endless void.
The sky of the Ten Tribulations Heavenly Domain lost its color. The ten Heavenly Venerate suns that originally shone high above, illuminating the entire domain, also paled, completely dimming under the radiance enveloping that Eternal Stone Halberd.
Innumerable beings across multiple Heavenly Domains could only see an immense, boundless stone halberd descending from beyond the domain. Endless stars, tiny as dust, followed it across the void, tearing through infinite space.
That scene was utterly soul-shaking.
It seemed as if the stone halberd's descent could completely pierce through the entire Origin Land.
"An Ancient Great Venerable has struck!"
"That... is the peerless cultivation of an Ancient Great Venerable? Truly unfathomable!"
The entire world watched.
Countless gazes filled with shock looked towards that unparalleled, heaven-supporting pillar-like stone halberd. The imposing might it radiated made countless powerlings of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Domains tremble with fear.
Even one Supreme Realm Overlord after another was awakened, watching the stone halberd's assault from afar, their hearts pounding, knowing they were far inferior.
"Since the Multiverse Dusk war, after endless eons, an Ancient Great Venerable has struck again, visible to the entire world. Truly invincible!"
An ancient Supreme Realm Overlord sighed softly. An attack of that level would reduce even a Supreme Realm Overlord to dust, unstoppable.
Ancient Great Venerables stood above the Supreme Realm.
Pangu Heavenly Domain, Chaos Celestial Hall.
The Goddess and Qian Xun's expressions changed drastically: "This is bad! It's Qingtian Great Venerable! He's attacking in rage!"
Purple Extreme Heavenly Domain, Heavenly Venerate Mountain. The Ancient Great Venerable of the Purple Extreme Celestial Clan gazed deeply, seeing through everything, and slowly said, "Qingtian Great Venerable has finally taken action himself. Now, how will you respond, newly emerged Great Venerable?"
Simultaneously, the gazes of other Ancient Great Venerables opened, all looking towards the direction of Heaven-Mending City.
This was the key to whether Ancient Great Venerables could emerge into the world.
"This is bad! Qingtian Great Venerable has attacked!"
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City's expression changed drastically. He sensed the immense terror of that Eternal Stone Halberd, countless times more terrifying than when Wan Xing Taishang descended upon Heaven-Mending City wielding the true Eternal Stone Halberd.
He immediately activated Heaven-Mending City's heavenly curtain. Endless Eternal Heavenly Script appeared, attempting to block that Eternal Stone Halberd.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The moment the Eternal Stone Halberd descended, instantly, endless Eternal Heavenly Script was obliterated.
