Throughout the ages, countless supreme powerhouses had been refined by the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's Ten Directions Sealed Land.
During the All Heavens Twilight Period, several Ancient Great Venerables had perished in precisely this manner.
Now, dealing with Ye Chen, this newly ascended Origin Realm Heavenly Venerate, the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate dared not be careless. Thus, the moment he made his move, it was the Ten Directions Sealed Land, aiming to seal and imprison Ye Chen.
In an instant, Ye Chen was pulled into an absolute, void-like sealed land—the Ten Directions Sealed Land.
Simultaneously, with Ye Chen's addition, the originally dire situation for the Ancient Great Venerables' faction was no longer so desperate.
The twenty Ancient Great Venerables now only faced the Asura Celestial Sovereign and one other Supreme Heavenly Venerate, allowing them to breathe a significant sigh of relief.
Moreover, they held an absolute numerical advantage. Under such circumstances, they were more than capable of engaging in a peak-level confrontation with the two Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
However, watching Ye Chen being pulled into the legendary Ten Directions Sealed Land by the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate, they couldn't help but feel some concern.
As ancient beings who had survived from the All Heavens Twilight Period to the present day, these Ancient Great Venerables had experienced that most terrifying and brutal era and had also faced the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's Ten Directions Sealed Land.
In the past, once the Ten Directions Sealed Land was unleashed, the heavens and earth of the Origin Land would change color. Multiple Ancient Great Venerables of peerless cultivation would be trapped within, not a single one fortunate enough to escape; all met their end within.
It could be said that the number of Ancient Great Venerables who perished within the Ten Directions Sealed Land was at least more than one could count on one hand.
"No need to worry too much," said the Purple Saint Great Venerable of the Purple Ultimate Celestial Clan. "The reason we Great Venerables perished in the Ten Directions Sealed Land is simply because we are Great Venerables. But that one is a true Supreme Heavenly Venerate. The Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate can only stand as his equal. Killing a Supreme Heavenly Venerate is extremely difficult even for another Supreme Heavenly Venerate. We should have sufficient confidence in a Heavenly Venerate."
"That's true!"
The other Ancient Great Venerables also felt they were overthinking.
That one was a Supreme Heavenly Venerate. Even if the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's Ten Directions Sealed Land had refined and slain multiple Ancient Great Venerables, attempting to refine and kill a Supreme Heavenly Venerate was no easy feat.
Although Ye Chen had been struck into the Ten Directions Sealed Land—a place of endless darkness, darker even than the Endless Void Land, with infinite sealing power converging from all directions—even an Ancient Great Venerable would be suppressed by this sealing force, their power drastically reduced.
Of course, for a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, the effect was negligible.
"Indeed, none who can become a Supreme Heavenly Venerate are simple; none can be underestimated."
Ye Chen frowned, observing this sealed land, yet he dared not be careless. This was the work of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate's strike; no matter what technique it was, he absolutely could not afford to be negligent.
He unleashed his absolute power, attempting to forcibly shatter this Ten Directions Sealed Land and escape the forbidden ground.
However, a single strike capable of annihilating an Ancient Great Venerable, when unleashed within this Ten Directions Sealed Land, was silently dissolved.
This made Ye Chen frown deeply, sensing the extraordinary nature of this place. It was definitely no ordinary land.
"It's useless. This venerable's Ten Directions Sealed Land is the most powerful sealing ground in the world. Even a Supreme Heavenly Venerate who falls into it can be sealed, finding it difficult to escape. Just obediently allow yourself to be refined by this venerable."
The voice of the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate echoed throughout the Ten Directions Sealed Land.
His figure was not present.
Yet, from all directions, runes began to appear.
Upon closer inspection, each rune appeared simple yet was infinitely profound, as if each represented the ultimate expression of a Great Dao.
In truth, these were all Heavenly Venerate Runes, containing a Supreme Heavenly Venerate's comprehension of the Dao. A single rune was equivalent to a universe, containing boundless mysteries.
Countless Heavenly Venerate Runes shimmered into existence.
These were the unique Heavenly Venerate Runes of the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate, imbued with absolute sealing power.
To put it bluntly, each Heavenly Venerate Rune could seal a Taixu-level overlord. Now, with an endless multitude of such runes, the sealing power was terrifyingly greater by countless times, directly submerging Ye Chen, who was trapped at the center. Even a Supreme Heavenly Venerate could be sealed.
Throughout the ages, among the thirty-three Supreme Heavenly Venerates, each one actually far surpassed others in a particular domain, and it was in this domain that they proved their Eternal Heavenly Dao and became Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
The Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate was the foremost master of the Sealing Dao.
Throughout the ages, even the two mightiest beings qualified to contend for the title of Heavenly Venerate King—the Great God Pangu and the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate—dared not claim their Sealing Dao could surpass that of the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate.
Now, Ye Chen was sealed within this Ten Directions Sealed Land, unable to leave.
The Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate was even exerting the full power of his Sealing Heavenly Dao, aiming to completely seal and refine Ye Chen, this newly ascended Origin Realm Heavenly Venerate.
Every moment, thousands upon thousands of Heavenly Venerate Runes descended, continuously bombarding his body with peerless sealing force.
This was a full-force effort. Even an Ancient Great Venerable could not withstand it for long, because the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate of the past had never exerted himself so fully.
He had disdained to do so.
But against a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate was now going all out.
Naturally, Ye Chen would not wait idly for death. He swung his fists, unleashing the might of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
With each punch, vast swathes of Heavenly Venerate Runes were directly shattered.
However, even so, the Heavenly Venerate Runes within the Ten Directions Sealed Land continued to appear endlessly, as if inexhaustible, converging from all directions.
Gradually, the infinite Heavenly Venerate Runes finally found Ye Chen's openings, evading his fist imprints' bombardment and landing on his body.
It was as if small-scale Ten Directions Sealed Lands were striking him.
Initially, with Ye Chen's Supreme Heavenly Body, he could withstand it.
But as time passed, even someone as powerful as him could no longer endure. He began to cough up blood.
Because the Ten Directions Sealed Land was the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's trump card. It was not merely his Heavenly Venerate domain but also his Ancient Heavenly Venerate weapon, fused into it, becoming an extremely terrifying method.
It was conceivable that if he had used the Ten Directions Sealed Land earlier to seal the Ancient Great Venerables, unless all twenty Ancient Great Venerables attacked together with absolute force to forcibly break it open, being sealed within for a prolonged period would absolutely lead to them being quickly refined.
It was also because the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate disdained to display his strongest means against these Ancient Great Venerables. Otherwise, during the All Heavens Twilight Period, he had repeatedly unleashed the Ten Directions Sealed Land, repeatedly sealing one Ancient Great Venerable after another within. With endless sealing-type Heavenly Venerate Runes falling upon them, even Ancient Great Venerables would be completely refined to death over time.
Left with no choice, Ye Chen could only expand his Chaos Domain, with the phantom of a universe manifesting.
Since becoming a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, the Chaos Universe within his body had long since evolved into a brand new Eternal Celestial Realm.
The Eternal Celestial Realm was a world and heaven that surpassed Chaos Ancient Universes. Although called a 'realm,' in truth, it was vaster and more boundless than a Chaos Ancient Universe by countless times.
