The other Ancient Great Venerables across the All Heavens did not look down on Qingtian Great Venerable for his slightly disheveled state. On the contrary, their expressions grew even more solemn at this moment.
Because they all understood that from now on, Qingtian Great Venerable was truly beginning to get serious.
As an Ancient Great Venerable, the chief disciple of Wanxuan Heavenly Venerate, one who once held great hope of achieving the Supreme Heavenly Venerate realm, and one of the Five Great Palace Lords of the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces, how could Qingtian Great Venerable be so simple?
All the Great Venerables of the heavens knew that the Qingtian Great Venerable just now had probably not even exerted half of his true strength.
"Good, good, good!"
Qingtian Great Venerable's expression was gloomy. Divine light flickered on his body as he rapidly recovered to his peak state, looking coldly down at Ye Chen in Heaven-Mending City below. He uttered the word 'good' three times in succession.
However, with each utterance of the word, the imposing might emanating from him grew more intense.
By now, his aura suddenly surged, climbing layer by layer until it explosively rose to an entirely new height.
Boom—
A Great Venerable's might, far surpassing his previous level by a large margin, erupted, suppressing the Thirty-Three Heavens.
At this moment, the entire Thirty-Three Tian Domains were completely enveloped by his Great Venerable's might.
Innumerable living beings, numbering in the trillions upon trillions, all trembled uncontrollably, shivering from the depths of their hearts, gazing at that majestic figure standing above the heavens as if beholding a deity.
"It seems this venerable one has been in seclusion for too long, to the point where everyone between heaven and earth believes I am truly this weak!"
Qingtian Great Venerable said coldly, his voice shaking the Thirty-Three Tian Domains, even spreading beyond the Endless Origin Land to shake the mortal world.
On his body, infinite flames of light surged forth, blazing boundlessly.
Finally, in the heavens, they gradually condensed into an incomparably massive sun, vast and endless, terrifyingly huge.
The myriad stars in the sky, by comparison, seemed as insignificant as dust.
Its radiance was limitless.
Suddenly, an eleventh Celestial Venerable Sun appeared in the sky above the Origin Land.
Overwhelming Heavenly Might erupted from this Celestial Venerable Sun, directly descending upon the Thirty-Three Tian Domains, instantly raising the temperature of the land by a significant degree.
Even vast territories turned into scorched earth, and immense oceans were evaporated into nothingness.
Across the Thirty-Three Tian Domains, countless powerhouses, the giants of the heavens, and the various Taishang were all horrified.
"An eleventh Celestial Venerable Sun!"
"Heavens! Qingtian Great Venerable is no longer just a Great Venerable. He has achieved the Supreme Heavenly position. From now on, he is the eleventh Supreme Heavenly Venerate in the Origin Land!"
"Qingtian Great Venerable has become a Supreme Heavenly Venerate! That Ancient Great Venerable in Heaven-Mending City is in trouble!"
The entire world was shocked. No one had expected Qingtian Great Venerable to become a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
That Ancient Great Venerable in Heaven-Mending City who had openly challenged him now had only one path—death.
The various Eternal Heavenly Clans all changed expressions, but the Great Venerables of the heavens remained unmoved, though they too showed a bit more gravity. "This fellow Qingtian truly lives up to being the one with the greatest hope of becoming a Supreme Heavenly Venerate back in the day. Who would have thought that after lying dormant for endless eons, he would take another half-step forward and reach this stage."
"That new Great Venerable is no simple figure either, to have forced Qingtian to manifest his Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun!"
"Having summoned the Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun, it seems he's truly getting serious. I wonder how that new Great Venerable will respond?"
They all looked towards the direction of Heaven-Mending City, also wanting to know how Ye Chen, this new Great Venerable, would deal with Qingtian Great Venerable in his fully erupted state.
"Hahaha! With Senior Brother manifesting the Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun, that new Great Venerable is undoubtedly doomed!"
Wanxing Taishang laughed heartily, filled with excitement.
The appearance of the Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun signified Qingtian Great Venerable was going all out. In all the vast world, who could withstand him?
That person was merely a new Great Venerable. He certainly hadn't yet condensed a Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun. How could he possibly resist?
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City's expression changed. "A Celestial Venerable Sun? Has Qingtian Great Venerable become a Heavenly Venerate?"
"No," Ten Tribulations Emperor Heavenly Lord shook his head in denial, but his expression was extremely grave. "Not quite, but it's very close. Because that is a Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun, a semi-virtualized Celestial Venerable Sun. Once condensed, it represents the ability to grasp a portion of the Eternal Heavenly Dao. It is extremely terrifying."
"This is also the foundation that allows Ancient Great Venerables to dare to challenge Supreme Heavenly Venerates."
"In the early days of the Twilight of the Heavens, Ancient Great Venerables were strong, but they didn't truly possess the capital to challenge Supreme Heavenly Venerates. However, once they condense a Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun, their strength increases by a large margin, and it also becomes the true mark of being called a Great Venerable."
Supreme Heavenly Venerates possess Celestial Venerable Suns.
Celestial Venerable Suns can communicate with the Eternal Heavenly Dao, wielding infinite power of heaven and earth.
The entire Origin Land, and even the Endless Void, are the home ground of Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
Ancient Great Venerables similarly imitate Supreme Heavenly Venerates, condensing Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Suns.
These are semi-virtual, semi-real Celestial Venerable Suns, hence called Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Suns.
Although Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Suns are inferior to true Celestial Venerable Suns, they can still communicate with the Eternal Heavenly Dao and grasp a portion of the Heavenly Dao's power.
Ten Tribulations Emperor Heavenly Lord looked at Ye Chen with some worry.
He did not know if Ye Chen had condensed a Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun.
Because the difference in strength between an Ancient Great Venerable who has condensed a Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun and one who has not is vast.
Rumble—
Qingtian Great Venerable, with the immense Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun hovering above his head, looked down from the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces upon Heaven-Mending City.
Now, he also began to stride forward, advancing towards Heaven-Mending City.
As he gradually descended, the Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun rapidly grew larger, traversing layer upon layer of the firmament.
Even though the Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun was not intentionally releasing its might, its surface still radiated extremely terrifying high temperatures and divine might, stirring up wave after wave of divine might tides in the world, each stretching for who knows how many billions of miles.
These waves of divine might tides easily shattered the void. Wherever they passed, everything was annihilated. Countless stars exploded, the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked, as they crashed down towards the Thirty-Three Tian Domains below.
However, the Thirty-Three Tian Domains were the former domain of the Thirty-Three Supreme Heavenly Venerates. Innumerable Eternal Heavenly Scripts had long been inscribed into the fabric of heaven and earth, now manifesting in the firmament, blocking these waves of divine might tides and preventing them from truly affecting the Thirty-Three Tian Domains.
Even so, it was still incredibly awe-inspiring.
The might of Qingtian Great Venerable after manifesting the Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun was unprecedented, making even the overlords of the Taishang realm across the heavens feel suffocated. If such an Ancient Great Venerable were to attack with full force, he could likely shatter all their defenses in an instant and directly obliterate them.
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City looked at Ye Chen and said, "Senior, please be careful. If you do not wish to confront him, I can immediately activate the heavenly curtain of Heaven-Mending City to block him."
As an ancient Heavenly Venerate city, Heaven-Mending City possessed the ancient Heavenly Venerate formation left behind by the Heaven-Mending Venerate, offering peerless defense.
However, fully activating it required some time.
Therefore, it had been unable to block the Eternal Stone Halberd earlier.
But now, there was enough time. It could be activated at any moment.
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City believed that the heavenly curtain in its complete state would have no problem blocking Qingtian Great Venerable.
Even with the manifestation of the Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun.
Now, a faint layer of heavenly curtain also appeared above Heaven-Mending City.
Within the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan, Wanxing Taishang and several other Taishang realm overlords showed mocking expressions. "Just a mere heavenly curtain. How could it possibly block a peerless Great Venerable?"
Regarding Qingtian Great Venerable, the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan held absolute confidence.
"It's fine. He's just a Great Venerable. That's not enough to warrant such measures."
Ye Chen spoke. As his words fell, he ascended into the heavens.
His figure vanished, directly entering the highest reaches of the firmament. In the next moment, he arrived before the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces, facing Qingtian Great Venerable who bore the Pseudo-Heavenly Venerable Sun above his head.
