"Originally, I didn't want to startle the snake too much, only intending to recover slowly. But now, I can no longer stand idly by."
Boom—
Ye Chen swung the Heaven-Supporting Axe, instantly blasting Myriad Stars Supreme Elder into pieces, severely crippling him, leaving only a portion of his Supreme Soul indestructible.
Myriad Stars Supreme Elder roared, "You dare kill me? The Heavenly Father will never let you go!"
"Not only will I kill you, but I will also completely exterminate the entire Myriad Profound Celestial Clan."
Ye Chen uttered coldly, directly cleaving out four axe strikes.
The first axe annihilated all the supreme powerhouses of the Myriad Profound Celestial Clan below the Supreme Realm Overlord level.
The second, third, and fourth axes blasted the other three Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Clan, including Myriad Gods Supreme Elder, into smithereens, transforming them into vast soul light and flesh power, directly perishing.
Heaven-Mending City Lord and Ten Tribulations Imperial Heavenly Venerate were horrified by Ye Chen's terrifying combat power. Killing a Supreme Elder with one axe strike—even an Ancient Great Venerable would find it difficult to accomplish, unless it was Deathless Celestial Sovereign.
Recalling that even Heaven-Supporting Great Venerable, who wielded the Heavenly Seal, had been suppressed, this senior was likely no ordinary Great Venerable.
The soul power and flesh power of the four Heavenly Clan Supreme Elders, including Myriad Stars Supreme Elder, after being blasted, along with their shattered Supreme Realm origin, were all devoured by Ye Chen, transformed into the purest, most immense energy, rapidly severing the final one-tenth of the Eternal Shackles within his body one by one.
At the same time, within the Origin Land.
"Almost all the Heavenly Venerates and Great Venerables of the Origin Land have left. This is a once-in-an-eon opportunity, the highest chance to prove the Dao of Eternity!"
World-Guarding Heavenly Domain.
That was the Eternal Heavenly Domain belonging to the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan, the domain of the Origin Sacred Clan that once ruled the Primal Realm.
The World-Guarding Heavenly Clan had grown even more powerful since Zhenyuan Taishang led the branch clan that had been guarding the Primal Realm back.
Within the Heavenly Venerate Mountain, a terrifying aura permeated. Between heaven and earth, infinite tribulation light surged, descending from the sky.
It directly flooded the entire Heavenly Venerate Mountain, indeed the entire Eternal Heavenly Realm where the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan resided.
At this moment, a supreme Supreme Elder was charging through the barrier to the Eternal Realm.
A terrifying, peerless Eternal Calamity appeared. The Heavenly Venerate Mountain trembled and hummed. Countless Heavenly Venerate-level formation patterns left on the mountain by the World-Guarding Heavenly Venerate in the past were struck by the tribulation light, continuously being worn away.
A vast tribulation was descending.
A majestic figure was soaring into the sky. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Zhenyuan Taishang.
He was undergoing tribulation, seeking to knock on the gate of Eternity and achieve the supreme Heavenly position.
"Someone from the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan is charging through to Eternity!"
One person undergoing tribulation was known to the entire world, because the Eternal Calamity was too terrifying, its influence immense.
"That's Zhenyuan Taishang, the strongest of the Heavenly Clan branch sent to guard the Primal Realm in the past. He trained and cultivated in the flawed Primal Realm for nearly two Chaos Epochs, possessing an extraordinary, profound accumulation as a Supreme Realm Overlord. Gilding himself through tribulation, he has a certain hope of stepping into the supreme Heavenly position."
Someone exclaimed in admiration, naturally knowing it was Zhenyuan Taishang, a Supreme Elder of the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan.
Other old antiques also sighed with emotion. "Zhenyuan Taishang is very clever, choosing to undergo tribulation when the vast majority of Supreme Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Great Venerables are absent."
"Why? Wouldn't it be better if Supreme Heavenly Venerates or Ancient Great Venerates were still present? The World-Guarding Heavenly Clan seems to have an Ancient Great Venerable. If an Ancient Great Venerable acted as a Dharma Protector, wouldn't that be even better?" Others were puzzled, not understanding why the absence of Supreme Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Great Venerates would be more advantageous.
A Taizhen-level half-step Overlord explained, "Because the presence of Supreme Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Great Venerates would bring great obstruction, especially Supreme Heavenly Venerates. They would not easily allow latercomers to undergo tribulation and prove the Dao, even if a supreme genius from an Eternal Heavenly Clan were present."
Currently, since the departure of the Great God Pangu, the nine Supreme Heavenly Venerates had dominated the Origin Land for endless eons. They would absolutely not easily permit the emergence of new Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
The Supreme Heavenly Venerate from Pangu Heavenly Venerate Mountain was merely a former Supreme Heavenly Venerate returning from exile, reclaiming his Heavenly position.
Deathless Celestial Sovereign, strictly speaking, could not be considered a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Therefore, the old Supreme Heavenly Venerates would fundamentally not easily allow the birth of new Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
To contend for the Heavenly Venerate position, one could only undergo tribulation and vie for the Heavenly position during times when the Supreme Heavenly Venerates were absent.
Now was precisely this once-in-an-eon, rare, and excellent opportunity.
Simultaneously, not only in the World-Guarding Heavenly Clan, but in other Eternal Heavenly Domains as well, terrifying fluctuations of tribulation emanated from within various Heavenly Clans.
It was conceivable that after the Multiverse Dusk period, the various Eternal Heavenly Clans all had supreme geniuses with the bearing of a Heavenly Venerate who had reached the Supreme Realm level. All along, they had not undergone tribulation to contend for the Heavenly position, precisely to wait for a period when the various Heavenly Venerates were absent to make their charge.
Encountering such an opportunity, any Supreme Realm Overlord possessing the bearing of a Heavenly Venerate now directly chose to undergo tribulation.
Immeasurable Eternal Calamities descended, enveloping multiple Eternal Heavenly Domains.
The world could sense that the number of Supreme Realm Overlords undergoing tribulation was at least twelve—an extraordinary number, all accumulated over endless eons.
Within the vast, boundless Origin Heaven and Earth, a full twelve terrifying, boundless tribulation auras appeared.
The most fearsome Eternal Calamities were descending.
The Origin Land itself seemed to tremble.
The world only saw twelve figures standing like heavenly deities, bathed in the most terrifying tribulation light, charging through the barriers.
The tribulation light was infinite.
Fortunately, the twelve undergoing tribulation had long been prepared. The Eternal Calamity did not spread over too vast an area, basically confined within certain limits.
Moreover, the Eternal Calamity was not merely external; it was more of an internal tribulation.
Thus, the tribulation light did not cover an overly terrifying range.
"I also wish to undergo tribulation and contend for the Heavenly position."
Within Heaven-Mending City, Ten Tribulations Imperial Heavenly Venerate sighed with regret. Unfortunately, his accumulation was still insufficient. Once he charged for the Heavenly position, he would inevitably fail.
Even if heby a stroke of luck / fortunately survived, he could only become a Great Venerable.
But that was not his goal.
His goal was to follow in the footsteps of the Heavenly Father, Ten Tribulations Heavenly Venerate, and become an invincible Supreme Heavenly Venerate through the ages.
Myriad Stars Supreme Elder was even more filled with hatred. Originally, as a Heavenly Venerate's descendant, he also had a chance to charge for the Heavenly position.
Although the hope was slim, it was still better than none.
But now, all hope had been severed by Ye Chen.
His gaze towards Ye Chen was filled with endless hatred, wishing he could tear Ye Chen to pieces.
At this very moment, Ye Chen suddenly opened his closed eyes, his gaze profound.
Now, all the Eternal Shackles within his body had been completely severed.
He swept a glance at Myriad Stars Supreme Elder and said, "Thank you, Myriad Profound Celestial Clan. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for me to recover completely in such a short time."
"What do you mean?" Myriad Stars Supreme Elder was somewhat bewildered, but he vaguely felt an inexplicable sense of dread, as if something terrifying was about to happen.
Ye Chen did not speak. Only, at this moment, an arcane and mysterious special aura began to emanate from his body.
