Ye Junlin said, "Father, a great change has occurred in the Endless Forbidden Zone. Countless supreme experts have perished, and multiple Taishang Overlords have gone in and never returned. Big Brother, Sister, and Senior Time-Space Great Emperor are all trapped inside, unable to leave."
Ye Chen frowned slightly. Because the three were within the Endless Forbidden Zone—the former Eternal Heaven Realm of the Endless Heavenly Venerate—even he could not deduce their current state. He could only know they were still alive through the soul lamps they left behind in the mansion.
Moreover, according to Ye Junlin's account, the Endless Forbidden Zone had become extremely dangerous. The fact that multiple Taishang Overlords had ventured in and never returned spoke volumes about just how perilous it was.
Ye Chen had originally planned to visit the Endless Heavenly Domain later to establish the Chaos Heavenly Mansion there. But now, it seemed he had to go earlier.
"Very well, I shall go personally and bring them out," Ye Chen declared.
As soon as his words fell, Ye Junlin quickly added, "Father, I wish to go as well."
Ye Chen did not refuse. He knew Ye Junlin was also worried about the trio's safety. Moreover, this journey would allow him to witness the dangers of the Endless Forbidden Zone firsthand. After all, the Endless Forbidden Zone was one of the absolute forbidden lands of the Origin Land, surpassing even the former Thirteen Forbidden Zones of Life in danger.
The Thirteen Forbidden Zones of Life were merely formed by thirteen Ancient Great Venerables. The Endless Forbidden Zone, however, was the place where the Endless Heavenly Venerate perished. In terms of lethality, it was undoubtedly among the top.
Of course, as a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, he possessed absolute confidence. Furthermore, this was not the Twilight of the Heavens era. If even he were to encounter danger, the Heavenly Emperor, the Purple Extreme Heavenly Venerate, and the Deathless Heavenly Venerate would certainly not stand idly by. With four Supreme Heavenly Venerates acting together, what in the world could possibly stop them?
On this day, Ye Chen arrived directly at the Endless Heavenly Domain. He made no attempt to conceal his presence, arriving in his true form, traversing the heavenly domain to descend upon this vast realm.
Infinite heavenly might spread across the heavens, shaking the entire vast domain. Within the Endless Heavenly Domain, countless trillions upon trillions of living beings prostrated themselves in worship. Ten thousand kingdoms paid homage, and billions of sects knelt in submission!
This was the majesty of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Within the three Forbidden Zones of Life, towering pillars of light shot into the sky. The three Ancient Great Venerables bowed respectfully from afar. "We pay our respects to His Majesty, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor!"
During the previous Ultimate Heavenly War, the three Ancient Great Venerables were deeply grateful for the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's assistance.
Ye Chen nodded slightly towards the three Ancient Great Venerables.
At that moment, the three Ancient Great Venerables simultaneously stepped forward, arriving beside Ye Chen.
"Has Your Majesty come to investigate the Endless Forbidden Zone?" one Ancient Great Venerable asked proactively, having noticed the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's gaze fixed on the dark region at the central core of the heavenly domain—the Endless Forbidden Zone.
Ye Chen nodded. "I intend to relocate the Chaos Heavenly Mansion to this heavenly domain, so I have come to resolve some latent dangers."
The three Ancient Great Venerables' hearts trembled. The Chaos Heavenly Emperor possessed great ambition, seeking to resolve the dangers of the Endless Forbidden Zone. In truth, they had long guessed his intention to relocate the Chaos Heavenly Mansion. How could an Heavenly Venerate-level power coexist within the same Eternal Heaven Realm as another Heavenly Venerate-level power? Undoubtedly, establishing it in another existing Eternal Heaven Realm was the best course of action. The Endless Heavenly Domain, adjacent to the Pangu Heavenly Domain, was one of the best choices.
However, the three Ancient Great Venerables did not resist. The Forbidden Zones of Life they had formed had not evolved into terrifying major powers and thus did not require many resources. Moreover, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was a Supreme Heavenly Venerate; if he truly wished to establish himself here, they were powerless to oppose him. Furthermore, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had shown them kindness, making it difficult to object. Of course, more importantly, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor possessed the strength to claim the Endless Heavenly Domain. And only a Supreme Heavenly Venerate of his caliber had the ability to resolve the terrifying dangers of the Endless Forbidden Zone.
The three Ancient Great Venerables knew better than anyone in the Endless Heavenly Domain just how fearsome the Endless Forbidden Zone was. Even a powerful Ancient Great Venerable from the past had ventured in and never returned.
The Ancient Great Venerable who spoke first said, "Your Majesty, please be careful. The Endless Forbidden Zone is the place where the Endless Heavenly Venerate perished, filled with endless sinister forces. Throughout the ages, countless supreme experts have entered, never to return. In the past, a Great Venerable friend of mine entered the Endless Forbidden Zone and has not returned to this day."
Mentioning the Endless Forbidden Zone filled them with apprehension. Logically, as Ancient Great Venerables, they feared nothing, possessing the capability to challenge even Supreme Heavenly Venerates. Yet the Endless Forbidden Zone was permeated with an unfathomable, sinister aura. While the Ancient Great Venerables understood the abilities of the other contemporary Supreme Heavenly Venerates and, relying on their own formidable strength, did not fear them much, the Endless Forbidden Zone concealed unknown perils. It was precisely this unknown that made them wary.
Ye Chen nodded. Though immensely powerful, he was not foolish. In a place where a Heavenly Venerate had perished, he would remain vigilant.
He took a step forward, actively walking towards the Endless Forbidden Zone.
In an instant, Ye Chen, bringing Ye Junlin with him, arrived before the Endless Forbidden Zone.
Outside the forbidden zone, numerous forces and supreme experts had gathered. Not everyone had entered; some remained outside to provide support.
Now, witnessing Ye Chen's appearance, they all performed grand bows of respect.
Ye Chen scanned the Endless Forbidden Zone. Called a forbidden zone, it was actually the former Eternal Heaven Realm of the Endless Heavenly Venerate, violently shattered by external force and evolved into the current absolute forbidden land. The collapsed Heavenly Venerate mountain had transformed into billions of layers of bloody demon peaks within the zone. The interweaving of the two had formed the present Endless Forbidden Zone.
Within the forbidden zone, terrifying blood-colored mist perpetually shrouded the area. Legend had it this mist was formed from the blood of the Endless Heavenly Venerate, containing Heavenly Venerate-level power and impossible to disperse. Even Taishang Overlords entering would find their spiritual perception severely limited.
Moreover, even more terrifyingly, within the Endless Forbidden Zone, amidst the blood mist, were massive world fragments of astonishing size, each no smaller than a Chaos Primordial Great World. These were fragments of the collapsed Endless Heaven Realm, scattered throughout the forbidden zone during the initial shattering. These Eternal Heaven Realm fragments constantly moved within the Endless Forbidden Zone. Being struck by even a random fragment was enough to cause a Heaven-Connecting Realm expert, or even a Heaven-Mending Realm quasi-giant, to be violently smashed to pieces, their form and spirit utterly annihilated.
Simultaneously, the Endless Forbidden Zone contained a staggering number of space-time fragments. Encountering any of them was troublesome, as these fragments contained intense space-time Heavenly Dao power, making them incredibly terrifying.
Throughout the ages, part of the reason the Endless Forbidden Zone was so deadly, with all who entered never returning, was due to these Eternal Heaven Realm fragments and space-time fragments.
Of course, a more important reason was that the Endless Forbidden Zone was tainted with Heavenly Venerate blood. Moreover, terrifying Heavenly Venerate secret patterns interwove within the forbidden zone. Even after several Chaos Epochs, these Heavenly Venerate secret patterns remained undiminished and could easily slay Taishang Overlords.
The deepest parts were even more fearsome; even Ye Chen could not fully probe them. Clearly, that area held the greatest secret of the Endless Forbidden Zone.
Under the watchful eyes of countless forces and living beings across the entire Endless Heavenly Domain, a Chaos Light Great Path extended from beneath Ye Chen's feet. With Ye Junlin in tow, he directly charged into the Endless Forbidden Zone.
