The fluctuations erupting from beyond the heavens were not merely earth-shattering; they were truly world-destroying.
At every moment, in the starry void beyond the heavens, countless stars were affected, continuously exploding, while innumerable others were blasted down, plummeting from the heavens to crash upon the boundless continent below.
These falling stars caused unimaginably terrifying destruction, smashing massive, fearsome craters into the earth.
Supreme powerhouses from various major forces took action, continuously shattering these falling stars to avoid being affected.
However, what the world paid even greater attention to was the state of the battle in that distant place.
Unfortunately, due to the violent eruption of the False Heavenly Venerate's Sun, surging divine power, and the influence of Eternal Heavenly Script affecting all heavenly secrets, the world simply could not see clearly how they were fighting.
Not even Ancient Great Venerables could see through it; the heavenly secrets were completely obscured.
The only thing known was that the battle was extremely intense. If it fell to the ground, the destruction would not be as simple as just one heavenly domain.
Pangu Heavenly Domain.
Heavenly Venerate Mountain.
Zhao Jingruo watched the peak showdown occurring beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. She was merely a Taixu-level powerhouse and simply could not see through it all. She couldn't help but ask Qian Xun beside her, "Qian Xun, how is the battle going now?"
Although it was not known whether that mysterious newly ascended Great Venerable was Ye Chen, Zhao Jingruo had already subconsciously accepted it was him and was now quite tense.
Qian Xun's eyes blazed with brilliant golden light—the Battle-True Pupils, capable of piercing through all falsehoods. But now, they were useless. He shook his head. "Their battle is too fierce, their cultivation levels are too high. Moreover, Qingtian Great Venerable's False Heavenly Venerate's Sun contains a vast number of Eternal Heavenly Scripts, almost equivalent to a Supreme Heavenly Venerate making a move, obscuring the heavenly secrets. I simply cannot see clearly."
Zhao Jingruo's heart sank. "Your father won't be in danger, will he?"
Qian Xun gave a bitter smile.
Although his father had achieved the Supreme Heavenly Position at the last moment, it was clear that the combined attack of two Supreme Heavenly Venerates had nearly killed him.
Although he ultimately survived, it was evident that his current situation was likely quite precarious; otherwise, he would have returned directly by now.
Moreover, an Ancient Great Venerable was an invincible existence capable of directly challenging a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Qingtian Great Venerable was also a world-renowned, peerless Great Venerable.
He was also one of the Five Great Palace Masters of the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces.
Regarding the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces, Qian Xun knew many secrets. He also knew that after becoming one of the Five Great Palace Masters, one could command boundless faith power.
Even Qian Xun, who had always held absolute confidence in his father, now lacked absolute certainty.
Father... should still remain undefeated, right?
At Pangu Heavenly Venerate Mountain, Tai Sheng Huang, the Emperor of Time and Space, the War Ancestor, the Human Emperor, and the other leaders from the former Pangu Universe felt an intense sense of suffocation.
Within the Deficient Primordial Realm, they were the greatest existences standing at the very peak. But in the Origin Land, they could not achieve that.
As powerful as the War Ancestor was, only by merging the Battle Saint Ancestor and the Heaven-Defying War Lord could he display Taishang-level cultivation. Compared to an Ancient Great Venerable, the gap was still vast.
Regarding the battle beyond the heavens, they could not perceive it, let alone intervene.
However, they did not feel the slightest bit dejected. On the contrary, they were filled with fighting spirit.
Because, compared to the Ancient Great Venerables and even the Taishang-level overlords of the Origin Land, they were absolutely young. They definitely had hope of reaching that step in the future.
Especially since, apart from the War Ancestor, Tai Sheng Huang, the Emperor of Time and Space, and the Human Emperor were all Supreme Truth-level half-step overlords, not far from the Taishang realm.
This was the pressure of being in a deficient place like the Deficient Primordial Realm. It was as if they had been carrying a heavy burden all along. But upon arriving in the Origin Land, once that burden was lifted, they would experience an explosive surge in strength.
Right now, they were precisely in this stage.
...
A heavenly gate appeared outside Heaven-Mending City.
The four Taishang-level overlords—Wanxing Taishang, Wanshen Taishang, and the others—led numerous supreme powerhouses of the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan and descended upon this place, their divine might overshadowing the world. They declared, "Lord of Heaven-Mending City, that newly ascended Great Venerable has been suppressed by our clan's Great Venerable. How will you resist our clan now? Prepare for annihilation!"
Regarding Qingtian Great Venerable, the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan held absolute confidence and did not believe he would lose.
He was a peerless Great Venerable, unmatched throughout the ages, and one of the Five Great Palace Masters of the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces. How supremely powerful he was, far beyond what that mysterious newly ascended Great Venerable could handle.
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City's expression was grim. He had long since activated the heavenly curtain and said, "Wanxing, you are too hasty. That senior is peerless throughout the ages. Even Qingtian Great Venerable may not necessarily be able to defeat him."
Though he said this, his heart sank. He did not have much confidence in Ye Chen.
Qingtian Great Venerable had already been a Great Venerable during the era of the Multiverse Dusk and had lived until now. As one of the Five Great Palace Masters of the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces, he commanded infinite faith power. How powerful he must be now was certainly far greater than in the past.
Although he had also witnessed Ye Chen's fearsome power, suppressing a revived Ancient Heavenly Venerate artifact, he still did not believe Ye Chen could defeat Qingtian Great Venerable.
The terror of an Ancient Great Venerable—he had glimpsed a fraction of it in the past. They could slay Taishang-level experts with ease, far too invincible.
It would be fortunate if Ye Chen could withstand him. As for defeating Qingtian Great Venerable?
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City had not a shred of confidence.
Wanxing Taishang sneered mockingly. "Senior Brother is peerless and unmatched. Who could rival him? Now that he has summoned the False Heavenly Venerate's Sun, he is even more without equal."
These words caused the Lord of Heaven-Mending City and Ten Tribulations Emperor Heavenly Lord's hearts to sink.
Was that senior truly no match for Qingtian Great Venerable?
Boom—
A bloody light shot up from beyond the heavens, dyeing the vast, endless firmament crimson. Blood energy like an abyssal sea flooded the starry sky, sweeping through infinite great stars.
"That blood energy!"
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City and Ten Tribulations Emperor Heavenly Lord's hearts sank. It was not Qingtian Great Venerable's, but that senior's.
Was he truly not Qingtian Great Venerable's opponent?
Wanxing Taishang revealed a look of smug satisfaction, looking down from on high at the many powerhouses of Heaven-Mending City, sneering, "It's the blood energy of that newly ascended Great Venerable. He has already been severely wounded by our Wanxuan Heavenly Clan's Great Venerable. Today is definitely the day that newly ascended Great Venerable is suppressed. This seat said it long ago: our Wanxuan Heavenly Clan's Great Venerable is invincible. Even if he is also a Great Venerable, he must pay the corresponding price and be suppressed!"
Wanshen Taishang shouted, "Our clan's Great Venerable is invincible! Today, that newly ascended Great Venerable is destined to be suppressed, and the Heaven-Mending Clan is destined for annihilation!"
The morale of the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan was boundless. Numerous supreme powerhouses flew out from the heavenly gate one by one, ready at any moment to attack Heaven-Mending City.
The defeat of the newly ascended Great Venerable would be an absolutely heavy blow to the Heaven-Mending Clan.
All members of the Heaven-Mending Clan lineage felt suffocated, facing a sense of impending death.
"If that senior is truly suppressed, then the Great Venerables of the heavens will also be unable to emerge. My Ten Tribulations Heavenly Clan's aid to the Heaven-Mending Clan will also be targeted by the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan. In the future, I fear there will be danger, unless our clan's Great Venerable also chooses to emerge immediately. But the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan might seize this opportunity, and Qingtian Great Venerable might target our clan's Great Venerable."
Ten Tribulations Emperor Heavenly Lord also grew worried, countless thoughts swirling in his mind.
