The outside world was in an uproar, never expecting that Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable would actually back down.
But others who knew the full story understood that backing down was the only option at this point.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor's momentum was fully formed; a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, he was not inferior to anyone.
Moreover, and more terrifyingly, everyone knew he had attained Eternity through the Dao of Chaos, just like Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable.
Furthermore, having originated from the Origin Land, it was highly likely he had inherited the legacy of the Great God Pangu.
In the future, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor might very well become the King of Heavenly Venerates.
Without a word, Ye Chen directly entered the Wan Xuan Tian Domain, arriving within the Wan Xuan Heaven Realm. Ignoring the intensely frigid gaze of Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable from the Heavenly Venerate Mountain, he directly uprooted a Supreme Heavenly Palace, carrying it away.
Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable's expression was icy, yet he did not stop him.
The Wan Xuan Heavenly Race trembled uncontrollably. Though they didn't understand why their Heavenly Venerate Progenitor didn't intervene, they knew this was not something they could interfere with.
Ye Chen taking away a magnificent Heavenly Palace from the Wan Xuan Heavenly Race left many across the world stunned.
That was a Heavenly Venerate's palace, representing a Heavenly Venerate's face and dignity, yet it was simply taken away like that.
However, the various Heavenly Venerates all knew this was a method of resolution between the Chaos Heavenly Emperor and Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable.
Moreover, the Heavenly Venerate palace taken away was not Wan Xuan Heavenly Venerable's own, but rather the palace of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate who had perished in the battle of the Dusk of All Heavens.
A Heavenly Venerate's palace was the place where a Supreme Heavenly Venerate resided for years, imbued with Supreme Heavenly Might and imprinted with countless Eternal Heavenly Patterns as well as that Supreme Heavenly Venerate's Eternal Heavenly Dao rules, containing infinite mysteries.
After leaving the Wan Xuan Tian Domain, Ye Chen arrived at the Taiyuan Tian Domain, also to cause trouble.
Facing the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, the entire Taiyuan Heavenly Race trembled with fear.
Taiyuan Heavenly Venerable's expression was gloomy as he watched Ye Chen openly stride into the Taiyuan Heaven Realm and finally take away an ancient coffin.
This coffin was a Heavenly Coffin, also called the Thirty-Three Heavens Coffin, similar to the Divine Ancient Coffin in the Origin Land. Only a Supreme Heavenly Venerate could be buried within it.
It was the coffin in which a Supreme Heavenly Venerate from the past was buried after his fall.
Originally, even after perishing, a Supreme Heavenly Venerate could still be interred in the Thirty-Three Heavens Coffin and buried in a Heavenly Tomb.
However, the descendants of this Supreme Heavenly Venerate, a once Eternal Heavenly Race, had been annihilated. Thus, the Thirty-Three Heavens Coffin containing the Heavenly Venerate's corpse was obtained by Taiyuan Heavenly Venerable. He had studied it for years, hoping to refine the Heavenly Venerate corpse into an external incarnation.
Just imagine, an incarnation formed from the corpse of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, even if not equal to a true Supreme Heavenly Venerate, would surely far surpass an Ancient Great Venerate, possessing combat power nearly comparable to the Deathless Celestial Sovereign.
However, he was not in a hurry to refine it, continuously researching it, hoping to cultivate a second Eternal Heavenly Dao.
He never expected Ye Chen to come and directly take away this Thirty-Three Heavens Coffin.
Taiyuan Heavenly Venerable was also somewhat helpless.
"A Heavenly Coffin, burying the corpse of a generation's Supreme Heavenly Venerate. Even though the Heavenly Venerate perished long ago, the corpse still contains the Eternal Heavenly Dao within. If an Ancient Great Venerate obtained it and managed to fuse with it, they might possess terrifying combat power akin to the Deathless Celestial Sovereign."
"It's the corpse of Kunlun Heavenly Venerate. He was once the master of Kunlun Mountain, the number one famous mountain under heaven, and also used it to attain Eternity. After that battle, Kunlun Heavenly Venerate perished, and the Kunlun Heavenly Race was defeated and destroyed. It is said that Kunxu Great Venerate is a descendant of Kunlun Heavenly Venerate. He obtained the half-destroyed Kunlun Mountain, which is now the Kunxu Forbidden Zone."
"The corpse of Kunlun Heavenly Venerate! A Supreme Heavenly Venerate, even long dead, remains peerless in the world. Once obtained, one might use it to comprehend the Eternal Heavenly Dao, increasing the chance of attaining Eternity."
...
All sides under heaven heatedly discussed.
No one expected the Chaos Heavenly Emperor to retrieve the burial coffin of the former Kunlun Heavenly Venerate from Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate.
The value of a Heavenly Venerate's corpse was in no way inferior to an Ancient Heavenly Venerate Weapon; in terms of importance, it even surpassed such a weapon.
Ye Chen left with the Thirty-Three Heavens Coffin, storing it within the Eternal Heaven Realm inside his body, then headed towards the final Eternal Tian Domain—the Ancient Nether Tian Domain.
The Ancient Nether Tian Domain was deathly still, like an endless Nether Kingdom, evolved by Gu Ming Heavenly Venerable.
In the Origin Land, myriad races coexisted, among them the Death Race, Corpse Race, Nether Race, and Bone Race—these undead races.
The Ancient Nether Tian Domain was a natural cultivation holy land for these undead races.
The moment Ye Chen entered the Ancient Nether Tian Domain, he felt boundless death energy rushing towards him, as if it intended to transform any living being setting foot here into one of the undead races.
However, the boundless death energy spontaneously ignited.
Ye Chen's body was like a sun traversing the sky. A Heavenly Venerate's sun manifested behind him, shedding endless rays of chaotic sunlight. Across the boundless reaches of the Tian Domain, where massive numbers of undead races dwelled, under the illumination of the chaotic light, all were reduced to ashes, utterly annihilated in body and soul.
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor, how dare you!"
At the center of the Tian Domain, Gu Ming Heavenly Venerable's expression was icy cold as he shouted across the void. An endless phantom of a Nether Kingdom appeared, pressing down towards Ye Chen from afar.
Ye Chen's expression unchanged, he slapped forward with his palm, Heavenly Venerate power erupting.
The endless Nether Kingdom phantom exploded, turning to dust.
He said coldly, "Gu Ming, my purpose in coming is simple: repay the karma from the past. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind having a great battle with you here."
The whole world fell silent!
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor was too direct, too domineering. At the slightest disagreement, he directly threatened Gu Ming Heavenly Venerable.
But he indeed had the qualification to threaten.
With a Supreme Heavenly Venerate descending here, even Gu Ming Heavenly Venerable dared not look down on him.
Gu Ming Heavenly Venerable said coldly, "There is nothing here that you need."
"There is," Ye Chen said. "Cede one hundred thousand Nether Kingdoms, and the Nine Netherworlds Underworld Soil."
The Ancient Nether Tian Domain was vast and boundless, possessing a million Nether Kingdoms.
Right from the start, Ye Chen demanded Gu Ming Heavenly Venerable cede one hundred thousand Nether Kingdoms.
One hundred thousand Nether Kingdoms meant little to Gu Ming Heavenly Venerable.
But the Nine Netherworlds Underworld Soil was completely different. This was Nine Netherworlds Heavenly Soil nurtured by Gu Ming Heavenly Venerable with his Heavenly Venerate power. For the undead races, it held significant cultivation benefits.
It was in no way inferior to a true cultivation holy land.
Within the Ancient Nether Tian Domain, only the Gu Ming Heavenly Race had the qualification to dwell upon the Nine Netherworlds Underworld Soil.
Gu Ming Heavenly Venerable did not know why the Chaos Heavenly Emperor demanded the Nine Netherworlds Underworld Soil, but after remaining silent for a long moment, he still agreed.
Finally, Ye Chen left the Gu Ming Heavenly Race with endless Nine Netherworlds Underworld Soil and one hundred thousand Nether Kingdoms.
Thus, his karma with the three Supreme Heavenly Venerates was resolved.
The world knew this was merely the Chaos Heavenly Emperor and the three Supreme Heavenly Venerates seeking compensation that couldn't be openly acknowledged.
After returning with the spoils, Ye Chen directly went back to the Chaos Heaven Mansion.
This made many people breathe a sigh of relief, truly worried that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor would go to war with a Supreme Heavenly Venerate. Once war broke out, the impact would be anything but ordinary.
Soon, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor issued a proclamation: the Chaos Heaven Mansion would reveal itself to the world.
