The Heaven-Burial Abyss blotted out the sky and sun, its abyssal darkness endless, capable of devouring everything, even light was snatched away.
There were even terrifying corpses floating and sinking within it. Some recognized them—they included peerless powerhouses from past and present, such as Taishang from the Celestial Clan, and unrivaled overlords who dominated entire eras, standing expressionlessly beside the master of the Heaven-Burial Abyss.
The Ancient Great Venerable of the Purple Extreme Celestial Clan, named Purple Saint Great Venerable, his eyes blazing with profound violet light as dazzling as stars, chuckled lightly, "This venerable one hasn't made a move in a long time. After all, I've been slumbering for over two Chaos Epochs. Being able to fight now is quite good."
The expressions of the four palace masters, including Thousand Breaker Great Venerable, changed. The opposing twenty-seven Ancient Great Venerables were eager and unafraid of threats.
Although they were strong and wielded Celestial Seals, capable of mobilizing boundless Faith Power, they could at most restrain two opponents each. They were utterly incapable of simultaneously dealing with twenty-seven Ancient Great Venerables.
If a real battle erupted, it would be completely one-sided.
"Hmph, you Great Venerables, violating the Heavenly Covenant—are you so eager to die?"
Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable's cold voice resonated through the heavens, shaking the firmament, "Since that's the case, today this venerable one shall use the Heavenly Covenant to execute Heavenly Punishment upon you all!"
Boundless Heavenly Might grew even more intense, directly disintegrating the sky of the entire Pangu Celestial Domain, pressing down upon the Ancient Great Venerables of all heavens.
As for the life or death of Qingtian Great Venerable, he temporarily set it aside.
If the Ancient Great Venerables of all heavens were left unchecked, they could threaten the safety of Supreme Heavenly Venerates like themselves.
This problem had to be resolved as soon as possible.
Tai Yuan Heavenly Venerable and another Supreme Heavenly Venerate also unleashed their intense Heavenly Might, rapidly approaching to take action against the Ancient Great Venerables of all heavens.
The three Supreme Heavenly Venerates were setting out from their respective Eternal Celestial Domains, swiftly traversing the vast firmament, rushing towards the Pangu Celestial Domain.
The Ancient Great Venerables of all heavens naturally would not wait idly for death. One by one, their Great Venerable auras surged intensely, directly opposing.
At this moment, in a place far beyond the heavens.
Beyond the Origin Land, it was infinite and boundless, no less vast than the boundless earth, with space even more expansive by countless times.
Few in the world knew this.
In the Origin Land, there were thirty-three Celestial Domains upon the earth.
Beyond the heavens, there were also thirty-three Heavens.
The place beyond the heavens where Ye Chen and Qingtian Great Venerable had dueled previously was only within the first ten Heavens.
Higher than the place where Ye Chen and Qingtian Great Venerable dueled was the location at the legendary highest of the thirty-three Heavens.
Here, darkness and coldness were the eternal themes.
Because stars were absent, there was only endless darkness.
It was even more barren than the Endless Void, lacking even spatial turbulence.
However, occasionally, one could see terrifyingly enormous corpses lying scattered here, at least the size of stars, the largest among them even comparable to a Heavenly Venerate's sun, horrifyingly massive.
Even after endless eons, terrifyingly extreme pressure still flowed from these corpses, constantly crushing and shattering this dark void, only for the void space to autonomously recover and be crushed and shattered again.
Over and over again.
One could imagine what kind of terrifyingly fierce beings they were in life.
No one knew what kind of dreadful, perilous place this was, to have so many fearsome corpses floating here.
Among them, silently drifted a figure of normal human size. This figure seemed to have slept here permanently, like a dead body, compared to the other corpses, it was like dust.
At this moment, the corpse-like figure abruptly opened its eyes. Its gaze instantly illuminated the endless darkness, bringing light to the thirty-three Heavens.
He glanced behind him, beyond the thirty-three Heavens.
The thirty-three Heavens were filled with endless darkness.
Yet, beyond the thirty-three Heavens, existed the most terrifying perils in the world, unknown to all.
At this moment, from beyond the thirty-three Heavens, a fearsome existence with a body comparable to a Heavenly Venerate's sun abruptly forced its way through layer upon layer of barriers. Its body was covered in dense, pitch-black demonic scales, each as large as a star, inscribed with ancient patterns. Its aura was powerful, no less than that of a Taishang realm Overlord, terrifyingly excessive.
Now, covered in blood, it forcibly squeezed through the intangible barrier between the thirty-three Heavens and what lay beyond, intending to head to the Origin Land to wreak havoc.
This figure suddenly slapped out a palm. With a boom, this fearsome existence comparable to a Taishang realm Overlord was directly smashed to pieces, devoured by him.
After a long moment, having finished all this, the figure couldn't help but frown, "In recent years, the seal of the former thirty-three Heavens has grown weaker and weaker. If not for those bastards back then disregarding Pangu's will and forcibly launching the Heavenly War, how could it have come to this?"
Then, his gaze fell upon the Origin Land, and he snorted coldly, "Now, the emergence of the Ancient Great Venerables is also a good thing; they can help suppress what lies beyond the thirty-three Heavens. Wan Xuan, Tai Yuan, Gu Ming—you bastards still dare to make excuses and procrastinate. Do you really think this venerable one is gone?"
Boom—
He left behind a figure to temporarily guard this place in his stead.
His Original Body true form flashed across the thirty-three Heavens, instantly appearing in the firmament above the Origin Land.
Boom—
An infinite might surged beyond the heavens, directly assaulting the location of Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable.
The sky tore, the earth collapsed. The boundless Heavenly Might unleashed by Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable was crushed and shattered by a rolling force—a terrifying strike.
The entire world was shocked!
Who dared to attack a Supreme Heavenly Venerate?
Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable's gaze turned cold. Infinite Eternal Celestial Patterns manifested, colliding with the incoming strike, exploding between heaven and earth.
The terrifying energy of the Heavenly Venerate-level collision did not explode within the thirty-three Celestial Domains but was transmitted to the Endless Void in the first instant.
The people of the world immediately looked at the attacker. It was a tall, majestic man with crimson beard, appearing towering and burly, his shoulders seemingly capable of bearing the thirty-three Heavens.
"It's you!" Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable's gaze grew many times more intense, more blinding than a Heavenly Venerate's sun, making people dare not look directly. He stared fixedly at the attacker, "Deathless, you actually returned!"
The gazes of the other Supreme Heavenly Venerates and the Ancient Great Venerables of all heavens also fell upon the newcomer, their eyes narrowing.
Even Tai Yuan Heavenly Venerable and the other Supreme Heavenly Venerate both had stern gazes, seemingly not expecting this old fellow to appear personally.
Unlike the caution of the various Supreme Heavenly Venerates towards the old man, the Ancient Great Venerables of all heavens faced the crimson-bearded, towering old man with some excitement, "Deathless Celestial Sovereign, you've come too!"
"Deathless Celestial Sovereign?"
However, when the people of the world heard this Heavenly Venerate title, they were full of confusion.
Because, whether among the currently existing ten Supreme Heavenly Venerates or the other fallen Supreme Heavenly Venerates of the past, there was no Supreme Heavenly Venerate named Deathless Celestial Sovereign.
When did the Origin Land give birth to a Supreme Heavenly Venerate like Deathless Celestial Sovereign?
They knew nothing of it.
