This matter had long since spread throughout the world after the Chaos Heavenly Emperor returned to his celestial throne.
Therefore, everyone in the world knew.
Ten Jue, like Wan Tai Huangzun, was also called a Heavenly Venerate seed, and both were among the ranks of the strongest Heaven-Penetrating Level Giants, renowned and mighty existences on the Origin Heaven-Penetrating Ranking.
Throughout the ages in the Origin Land, there had always been rankings for the strongest in each major realm.
These were established by the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces.
Of course, the most significant were the rankings for the Three Heavens and Three Taishangs after the Supreme realm.
The Heaven-Penetrating Ranking was a list that ranked the strongest Heaven-Penetrating Level Giants in the current world. Without exception, every contemporary Heaven-Penetrating Level Giant would be known by the Thirty-Three Celestial Palaces, then ranked through various aspects, with the most powerful batch selected and arranged on the list.
Ten Jue was a famously powerful Heaven-Penetrating Level Giant on the Heaven-Penetrating Ranking, currently ranked seventh.
Wan Tai Huangzun had originally been ranked eighth on the Heaven-Penetrating Ranking.
Later, Qian Wentian defeated Wan Tai Huangzun, taking his place to become the eighth on the Heaven-Penetrating Ranking.
He was only one rank below Ten Jue.
Qian Wentian said, "That's right, I defeated him."
Although Ten Jue was very confident, he also knew of Qian Wentian's strength; otherwise, he couldn't have defeated Wan Tai Huangzun and taken his place as the eighth on the Heaven-Penetrating Ranking.
Though they seemed separated by only one rank, in reality, determining who was stronger or weaker wasn't something the ranking could easily explain. It required a life-and-death battle to see.
"Let me see just how strong you are, the one who could defeat Wan Tai!"
A Heaven-Penetrating Level battle erupted directly.
As soon as Ten Jue made his move, he charged straight at Qian Wentian.
Because, in his eyes, only Qian Wentian was qualified to fight him; all others were not even worth his attention.
Stepping forward, massive sky-piercing pillars erupted from his body, each radiating terrifying sealing power as they smashed toward Qian Wentian.
Moreover, from each sky-piercing pillar surged countless Order Divine Chains, chains imbued with the most fearsome sealing power, specifically meant to seal Qian Wentian.
Naturally, Qian Wentian was aware of Ten Jue's strength, so from the start, he had the other Chaos Heavenly Mansion Giants restrain the other Heavenly Race Heaven-Penetrating Level Giants, while he directly engaged Ten Jue in battle.
Boom—
Qian Wentian could be said to have perfectly inherited his father Qian Xun's path of battle, proving his Dao through his physical body, with peerless Heavenly Venerate bloodline. He strode forward, unleashing the most terrifying force to domineeringly blast ahead.
The void collapsed massively, the Upper Realm shook violently, and from the center appeared a terrifying, realm-spanning great rift, radiating the most fearsome Heaven-Penetrating power that blocked billions of sealing Order Divine Chains ahead, preventing them from advancing.
This strike also caused the ten Heaven-Penetrating Level Giants from both sides, who were preparing to engage, to show looks of shock on their faces. Even they couldn't easily cross this terrifying abyss spanning the cosmos, filled with Qian Wentian's supreme Dao principle power that could threaten Heaven-Penetrating Level Giants.
Boom—
Naturally, Qian Wentian was not among those hindered. He directly charged into it, traversing the endless abyss to attack Ten Jue.
In doing so, he unleashed a heaven-defying battle technique.
At this moment, he transformed into an invincible war god, his battle blood boiling within, while infinite golden-silver light blazed brilliantly, transforming into billions of golden-silver war swords that reached everywhere, killing toward Ten Jue.
However, Ten Jue's greatest strength wasn't offensive power, but sealing power.
The Ten Directions Heavenly Race perfectly inherited the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's path of sealing. In the aspect of sealing techniques, throughout the vast world, none could surpass them.
Facing an attack capable of slaying Heaven-Penetrating Level Giants, Ten Jue's expression remained unchanged as he lightly uttered, "Seal!"
Instantly, the billions of golden-silver war swords were immobilized in the void, unable to advance any closer.
Such means made the other Heaven-Penetrating Level experts admit they were inferior.
However, this wasn't the most terrifying aspect. What was terrifying was Qian Wentian himself. With a single leap, he arrived before Qian Wentian.
A warrior is invincible, and close combat is even more fearsome.
Qian Wentian swung his battle fist, shattering the ten directions of vacuum. With a great roar that caused all heavens to crumble, he furiously struck at the center of Ten Jue's brow, directly targeting the soul's vital point.
At this moment, Ten Jue's face still showed no change. His hands moved as if plucking flowers, with sealing runes continuously appearing one after another, even transforming into sealing great worlds that blocked in front of him, continuously neutralizing Qian Wentian's attacks.
Simultaneously, from his ten fingertips shot out Heaven-Penetrating giant pillars, even more majestic and countless times larger than before, standing billions of miles tall around them, locking down the ten directions.
That's right, this was the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's ultimate divine ability—Ten Directions Sealed Land!
Naturally, it was also recorded in the Ten Directions Heavenly Race's Heavenly Venerate Profound Art, belonging to the forbidden chapter.
Given Ten Jue's status and position, he naturally had the qualification to cultivate it and had successfully mastered it.
As soon as the ten Heaven-Penetrating giant pillars appeared, they sealed the ten directions, evolving into a small-scale Ten Directions Sealed Land, similar to the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's own, intending to drag Qian Wentian inside and directly seal him.
But Qian Wentian wouldn't fall for it so easily. His figure retreated, displaying the ultimate speed under heaven, instantly withdrawing across who knew how many star domains, trying to exit the sealing range of the Ten Directions Sealed Land.
However, Ten Jue had considered all this; naturally, he wouldn't let Qian Wentian escape so easily.
Using supreme sealing power, he extended countless, innumerable Order Divine Chains that intertwined throughout the six directions and eight extremes. Moreover, numerous Order Divine Chains shot to Qian Wentian's front, instantly binding him and trying to pull him back completely.
"Break!"
Qian Wentian shouted, his entire body burning with terrifying golden-silver light, forcefully shattering the countless sealing-type Order Divine Chains.
He successfully broke free.
"Indeed, to be able to defeat Wan Tai, you have some skill," Ten Jue said, his expression growing slightly more serious, though everything was still under his control.
If Qian Wentian had been so easily suppressed within the Ten Directions Sealed Land, then he couldn't have possibly slain Wan Tai Huangzun.
Ten Jue swiftly gave chase, beams of Heaven-Penetrating light erupting from his body, transforming into a great path that traversed the endless abyss land, catching up to Ye Chen.
The ten Heaven-Penetrating giant pillars smashed over.
Qian Wentian swung his battle fist to intercept, but didn't shatter them. With clanging sounds, he was merely sent flying.
Qian Wentian's gaze sharpened: "These are your battle weapons!"
Ten Jue said, "Correct. These aren't formed from laws, but are my Dao weapons. Each sealing pillar is no less than a Heaven-Penetrating Level Dao weapon. When ten sealing pillars are combined, they can rival a Taixu Level Dao weapon."
This was the power of a Heavenly Venerate seed, and theheritage / foundation of a Heavenly Venerate's grandson. Each of the ten sealing pillars was equivalent to a top-tier Heaven-Penetrating Level Dao weapon. Combined, the power they could unleash was no less than that of a Taixu Level Dao weapon—absolutely terrifying.
As he spoke, the ten sealing pillars smashed through the air, carrying endless, rolling sealing power that annihilated the sky.
