"Nothing is impossible," Ye Chen said. "However, I must also thank you. If not for you, I would not have been able to comprehend the Sealing Dao so quickly."
As he spoke, Ye Chen summoned the fully restored Tenfold Sealing Gate, which soared into the sky and instantly appeared on the battlefield of the Ancient Great Venerables of the All Heavens, surrounding four Heavenly Palace Great Venerables.
A fearsome sealing light appeared. The Tenfold Sealing Gate transformed into a sealed land akin to the Ten Directions Sealed Land, sealing them within.
The four Heavenly Palace Great Venerables' expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly wielded their Heavenly Seals, mobilizing endless Faith Power along with their Great Venerable power to bombard the Sealing Gate.
However, from the Sealing Gate, a vast number of Heavenly Venerate Runes surged forth. Upon closer inspection, they were very similar to the Heavenly Venerate Runes of the Ten Directions Sealed Land, possessing a terrifying sealing power that blasted towards the four Heavenly Palace Great Venerables.
For a time, the four Heavenly Palace Great Venerables were unable to break the seal of the Sealing Gate and were trapped within.
This scene shocked both sides.
"What formidable sealing power! Although it cannot compare to Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's, it is very similar to his Sealing Dao," a Supreme Heavenly Venerate revealed a trace of astonishment as he said this.
"Many thanks, Heavenly Venerate!"
The seven Ancient Great Venerables who had been restraining the four Heavenly Palace Great Venerables immediately cupped their fists towards Ye Chen, then swiftly returned to the group of twenty Ancient Great Venerables. Instantly, the pressure on the Ancient Great Venerables was greatly reduced.
On the opposing side, Asura Celestial Sovereign and another Supreme Heavenly Venerate grew solemn, feeling the sudden increase in pressure.
Twenty-seven Ancient Great Venerables—even for two Supreme Heavenly Venerates like them, a single misstep could lead to a fall here.
They simultaneously looked towards Ye Chen, who had broken free. Their eyes narrowed slightly in surprise, as if they hadn't expected this Origin Realm Heavenly Venerate to truly escape from the Ten Directions Sealed Land. He was no simple figure.
Ye Chen gave a slight nod. There was a reason he used the Tenfold Sealing Gate to suppress the four Heavenly Palace Great Venerables rather than targeting a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Ultimately, even after imprinting Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's runes and the subsequent surge in sealing power, the Sealing Gate's grade had risen by at least half a level. Yet, even so, truly sealing a Supreme Heavenly Venerate was unrealistic. It would likely be broken in moments, possibly even damaging the Sealing Gate itself.
Rather than that, it was better to seal four Heavenly Palace Great Venerables.
Not only was there a gap in power between four Heavenly Palace Great Venerables combined and a true Supreme Heavenly Venerate, but more importantly, this allowed the seven Ancient Great Venerables to return and join the other twenty to deal with the two Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
Facing two Supreme Heavenly Venerates with twenty-seven Ancient Great Venerables not only greatly reduced the pressure but even gave them a certain degree of advantage.
Thus, the balance of power between the two sides was completely reversed.
"Damn that Origin Realm Heavenly Venerate! We should have killed him thoroughly back then!" Wanxuan Heavenly Venerate couldn't help but roar in fury upon seeing this.
"Hahaha, well done, that fellow!" Deathless Celestial Sovereign laughed heartily. Wielding the phoenix tree transformed into a sky-pillar, he clashed again and again with Wanxuan Heavenly Venerate, fighting to a stalemate as he mocked with a laugh: "Wanxuan, your plans have completely failed, hahaha! Ten Directions wanting to refine a Supreme Heavenly Venerate—how could it be so easy?"
Though now covered in blood, and truly in combat, there remained a certain gap compared to a Supreme Heavenly Venerate like Wanxuan, this gap was not large. This was precisely why Deathless Celestial Sovereign possessed the strength to bear the title of Heavenly Venerate despite being a Great Venerable.
"Damn it!"
If anyone was most embarrassed, it was undoubtedly Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate.
Because Ye Chen's ability to seal the four Heavenly Palace Great Venerables was also largely thanks to his sealing power. Without it, the Ancient Great Venerables of the All Heavens would not have had it so easy.
However, Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate had never imagined that this Origin Realm Heavenly Venerate could break free from his Ten Directions Sealed Land and even learn his sealing power.
Although the true comparison was still far off, being able to seal four Heavenly Palace Great Venerables to a certain extent was sufficient.
Involuntarily, a trace of wariness arose within him.
This youth was truly extraordinary.
"This time, this venerable one will never let you escape again," Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's gaze was icier than ice capable of freezing the Eternal Heaven Domain. The Ten Directions Sealed Land manifested once more.
"But this time, you will not succeed in sealing me again."
At this moment, Ye Chen's majesty was boundless. The most blazing Chaos light surged from his body, giving rise to infinite phenomena: a Green Dragon on his left, a White Tiger on his right, a Vermilion Bird above, a Black Tortoise below. Behind him, the World Ancestral Tree appeared, as did Primordial Chaos Fiendgods. The River of Time spanned across, and Chaos Holy Spirits that had shaken the ancient era manifested, trembling space-time...
The Chaos Great Cauldron appeared beneath his feet, shimmering with one Chaos Heavenly Venerate Rune after another, each rune evolving into a universe.
The Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms he could once manifest had now all transformed into Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Universes, countless times more terrifying.
Ye Chen stood upon the cauldron. Above his head, the Cosmos Tower manifested, with thirty-three layers, presenting thirty-three layers of vast cosmos, as if they were thirty-three layers of Eternal Heavenly Realms.
However, the descendants of the thirty-three Heavenly Venerates from the past had long been destroyed in the previous war. In their place were Ye Chen's thirty-three drops of Chaos Heavenly Venerate Blood, each transformed into a Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
Some formed the Myriad Realms Style with their hands, others executed the Battle Saint Technique, some blasted out the Universe-Creating Fist, others cleaved with the Space-Time Slash...
Each Chaos Heavenly Emperor unleashed a different move, but without exception, all were Heavenly Venerate-level divine abilities.
Thirty-three Heavens, thirty-three Chaos Heavenly Emperors—terrifying beyond measure.
In an instant, Ye Chen elevated his state to its absolute peak—the true state of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
The Endless Void Land trembled violently, as if unable to bear the pressure and on the verge of exploding.
If such supreme heavenly might were displayed within the Origin Land, the entire Origin Land would quake violently, shattering endless realms.
"Kill!"
With a light shout, Ye Chen's left hand formed the ancient character for "Chaos," and his right hand formed the character for "Primordial."
Combined, they formed the two characters for "Chaos Primordial"—presented as ancient Heavenly Venerate characters, containing endless transformations—as he blasted them towards Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate.
Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate summoned the Ten Directions Sealed Land to meet the attack.
"Anchor!"
The Cosmos Tower flew out, descending with the thirty-three Heavens. The tower's body entered the Ten Directions Sealed Land, but not completely—only half of it.
Because within each of the thirty-three Heavens, a Chaos Heavenly Emperor sat cross-legged, chanting the Chaos Holy Scripture, capable of anchoring past, present, and future. Even the Ten Directions Sealed Land could not completely seal it for a time.
Simultaneously, the Chaos Great Cauldron and the Cosmos Tower resonated from afar. One Chaos Heavenly Venerate Rune after another flew out, transforming into phantom images of great universes that continuously collided with the sealing Heavenly Venerate Runes flying out from the Ten Directions Sealed Land, grinding each other to annihilation.
For a time, the most terrifying Ten Directions Sealed Land was anchored, unable to affect Ye Chen, the Chaos Heavenly Venerate.
