Beside him, the Lord of Heaven-Mending City and Ten Tribulations Emperor Heavenly Lord grew solemn.
It seemed as if the Ye Chen before them had undergone a transformation, becoming a different person entirely.
That profound aura they sensed from him felt extraordinary.
Moreover, a faint yet extremely terrifying sense of oppression was beginning to envelop their hearts.
Even an Ancient Great Venerable would find it difficult to impose such pressure upon them.
At that very moment, Ye Chen's depleted Eternal Origin directly communicated with the Eternal Heavenly Dao of the Origin Land.
Rumble—
Suddenly, infinite phenomena manifested across the Origin Land. Not only within the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains, but even in the Endless Lands beyond the Celestial Domains, phenomena appeared.
The Heavenly Dao trembled, shaking the entire world with terror!
The terrifying phenomena instantly overshadowed the spectacle of the twelve Taishang Overlords, possessing the bearing of Heavenly Venerates, undergoing their tribulations.
The attention of the world was abruptly diverted.
"What happened?"
"Why have such immense phenomena appeared?"
"Could it be that one of the twelve undergoing tribulation has succeeded?"
In the next moment, under countless horrified gazes, an enormous sun, no smaller than the ten Celestial Venerable Suns, slowly appeared at the highest point of the firmament.
This sun hung in the sky above the Origin Land, shedding boundless radiance.
Instantly, it became the focus of the entire world's attention.
"It's a Celestial Venerable Sun!"
"A new Supreme Heavenly Venerate has been born."
"Who is it?"
"Which Heavenly Venerate Seed undergoing tribulation has succeeded and attained the status of Supreme Heavenly Venerate?"
"Impossible. The Eternal Tribulation lasts a long time. These Taishang Overlords, the Heavenly Venerate Seeds, have only just begun their tribulation. It's utterly impossible for them to become Supreme Heavenly Venerates."
"But if not them, then who?"
"Could it be that in the Endless Void Land, a Supreme Heavenly Venerate was severely wounded, and an Ancient Great Venerable seized the opportunity to plunder sufficient Eternal Origin, truly proving the Eternal Fruit and attaining the Supreme Heavenly Position?"
The world buzzed with discussion. After all, not everyone could see everything happening in the Endless Void Land; they could only speculate blindly about the Ultimate Celestial War.
Even the other twelve Taishang Overlords undergoing tribulation were guessing who it might be.
But none of them believed a Heavenly Venerate Seed had successfully proven their Dao, because those attempting the breakthrough were still undergoing tribulation, with the aura of the Eternal Tribulation permeating the air.
The aura of a thirteenth Eternal Tribulation did not appear within the Origin Land.
In other words, the newly born Supreme Heavenly Venerate was not within the Origin Land.
However, within Heaven-Mending City, the Lord of Heaven-Mending City and Ten Tribulations Emperor Heavenly Lord stared at Ye Chen in shock, for from the latter's body, an imposing might was continuously radiating.
This imposing might could be described as supremely heavenly. They had only ever felt it on Supreme Heavenly Venerates; even Ancient Great Venerables fell far short.
They faintly sensed a special resonance between Ye Chen and the newly appeared Celestial Venerable Sun in the sky.
Immediately, they understood the words Ye Chen had spoken before: I am not a Great Venerable.
At the time, they had thought Ye Chen was merely being modest. But now, they finally understood.
He was not being modest, and he truly was not an Ancient Great Venerable, because he was a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Wanxing Taishang, now reduced to a remnant soul, was utterly horrified. At this moment, he suddenly understood why Qingtian Great Venerable had gone and never returned.
Because this was a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Endless regret welled up in his heart.
If he hadn't stirred up trouble, Qingtian Great Venerable would never have perished.
The other party's bold declaration that he dared to annihilate the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan was not without basis.
Only, regret was useless now.
The Celestial Venerable Sun coalesced at the highest point of the Origin Land's firmament. Boundless Eternal Power surged rapidly from all corners of the Origin Land, pouring into this new Celestial Venerable Sun.
Faintly, it even resonated with the Heavenly Dao. All Heavens trembled greatly, descending with endless auspicious colors.
The birth of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate imposed majesty across past, present, and future.
Ye Chen had returned to the Heavenly Position, coalescing his own Celestial Venerable Sun. He felt a sense of mastery over the Origin Land.
"So this is a Supreme Heavenly Venerate?"
He murmured to himself, feeling incomparably powerful, far surpassing his previous self by countless measures.
All his injuries were rapidly healing. The wounds left by past Supreme Heavenly Venerates also began to dissolve.
At every moment, Ye Chen felt himself growing stronger. Every cell within his body seemed to be transforming into a great world, connecting to vast and magnificent cosmic space-times.
Unprecedented power!
He had a peculiar feeling, as if with a single willing punch, a Taishang would instantly perish, body and soul annihilated, with no chance of survival.
If he faced Qingtian Great Venerable again, even if the other wielded the Heavenly Seal and could mobilize endless Faith Power, as long as Ye Chen willed it, he could severely wound his opponent upon meeting, without needing to exert effort as before.
Moreover, Ye Chen faintly sensed a special feeling of control over the Origin Land.
It was as if, should he wish it, the infinite power of the entire Origin Land could be gathered upon his person, for him to wield.
"So this is a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, capable of controlling the Origin Land. As long as the Origin does not perish, the Eternal does not perish."
Ye Chen gained such an insight.
The strength of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate far exceeded imagination.
And this was when he hadn't yet fully reached his peak state, because the injuries left within him by the two Supreme Heavenly Venerates from back then had not completely dissolved; he had merely severed the Eternal Shackles they left within him, nothing more.
However, Ye Chen soon felt something was amiss.
Regarding Supreme Heavenly Venerates, a wavering arose in his heart.
Was the path of the Heavenly Venerate truly correct?
But he quickly cast aside such thoughts, because an extremely terrifying Ultimate Celestial War was erupting in the Endless Void Land.
In the next moment, Ye Chen directly waved his hand, shattering the Eternal Space before him, and headed for the Endless Void Land.
Now that he had returned to the Heavenly Position as the Chaos Heavenly Venerate, he was qualified to participate in the battle.
And his opponents would inevitably be the world's strongest Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
...
Endless Void Land.
The Supreme Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Great Venerables of All Heavens were engaged in the Ultimate Celestial War.
At this moment, abruptly, all the Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Great Venerables were suddenly startled.
For they could all sense that within the Origin Land, an eleventh Celestial Venerable Sun had been born.
It was a true Celestial Venerable Sun, not a false one, containing unparalleled pure Eternal Power. The Eternal Heavenly Dao was resonating with it. From all directions of the boundless Origin Land, infinite Heavenly Dao rules surged forth, continuously pouring into that brand new Celestial Venerable Sun, confirming everything.
A new Supreme Heavenly Venerate had appeared.
"Who is it?"
The Supreme Heavenly Venerates were the first to be alerted. Even amidst the great battle, they looked towards the Origin Land, their gazes piercing through everything to see that enormous Celestial Venerable Sun, which shattered the old situation where the ten great Celestial Venerable Suns jointly revered the Origin Land.
All Heavens trembled greatly. The Eternal Heavenly Dao quivered and hummed. Endless Eternal Heavenly Patterns surged out, spreading and interweaving across the Origin Land. An Eternal Heavenly Soul was being imprinted upon the Origin Land.
