Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Space-Time Heavenly Dao Realm enveloped the area, greatly weakening the power of the three Ancient Great Venerables, attempting to force them to regress to a time before they attained Great Venerable status.
Without a doubt, this was extremely dangerous. The slightest misstep could lead to all three being buried here.
They erupted with their full power. Celestial Venerable Suns manifested above them, endless great Dao might surged forth, and countless Eternal Heavenly Patterns appeared, resisting the weakening effect of the Space-Time Heavenly Dao Realm.
They successfully withstood the weakening.
Ultimately, this was merely the corpse of the Endless Heavenly Venerate, not the living entity in its prime. Its strength was far inferior. If the true Endless Heavenly Venerate had taken action, the three Ancient Great Venerables might truly have been unable to resist. They would have been forcibly reversed through time, regressed to before their Great Venerable era, and left with only a path to death.
A great battle erupted, its intensity no less than a Heavenly War.
Fortunately, this was the Endless Forbidden Zone—a forbidden land formed from the fusion and re-evolution of the shattered Eternal Heavenly Realm and the Heavenly Venerate Mountain. It was extraordinarily unique and, to a large extent, confined the battle's shockwaves within.
Moreover, there was Ye Chen, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. With a stomp of his foot, infinite Chaos Heavenly Patterns interwove, sealing the entire Endless Forbidden Zone to prevent the Heavenly War's aftermath from affecting the outside world and causing immeasurable destruction.
Of course, terrifying beams of light still shot into the sky, piercing through the Endless Forbidden Zone and appearing in the outside world, causing immense tremors.
The world was shaken.
Countless people watched, for they all knew the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had personally entered the Endless Forbidden Zone.
Could a Heavenly War have broken out now?
Judging by the intensity of the battle fluctuations, earth-shattering and heaven-overturning, even the Endless Forbidden Zone was struggling to contain it. It seemed the entire forbidden zone might be leveled.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle within the Endless Forbidden Zone grew more intense with each clash.
This was *after* Ye Chen had acted to seal the entire zone. Otherwise, it would have been even more terrifying, inevitably affecting the outside world.
In the end, the three Ancient Great Venerables coughed up great mouthfuls of blood. Facing the corpse of the Endless Heavenly Venerate, they were severely wounded and utterly unable to restrain it.
Each of them had even been reversed in cultivation by multiple epochs to varying degrees. The Samsara Great Venerable suffered the most, losing at least half a Chaos Epoch's worth of cultivation. His aura had noticeably declined.
This horrified the trio. This was no mere corpse; it was clearly the Endless Heavenly Venerate resurrected. Otherwise, how could it be so terrifying?
If this continued, they would undoubtedly perish.
Boom!
At this moment, Hun Wuji charged onto the battlefield. Although not an Ancient Great Venerable, he was a Taishang Supreme, infinitely close to the Great Venerable level.
Having now painfully accepted the truth that his Heavenly Father had truly fallen, and witnessing his Heavenly Father's corpse being controlled, he was filled with grief and indignation. He actively joined the fray.
Chaotic light erupted in billions of layers as Hun Wuji took the initiative. A majestic Heavenly Stele appeared, suppressing the past.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse remained unmoving like a mountain. The Space-Time Heavenly Dao Realm manifested, time flowing like a torrent.
However, the Heavenly Stele first manifested swathes of time fragments, then erupted with brilliant chaotic light. For a moment, the Space-Time Heavenly Dao Realm could not weaken it much.
The Heavenly Stele smashed directly onto the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse with a thunderous crash, causing the corpse of this peerless Heavenly Venerate to tremble slightly.
The onlookers were greatly shocked, but the Hengming Great Venerable sighed, "As expected of the son of the Endless Heavenly Venerate. His mastery of the Space-Time Dao is also profound and unfathomable. He first used time fragments to offset part of the Space-Time Heavenly Dao Realm's power, then leveraged the Chaos Dao technique of the Myriad Daos' origin—the fusion of all Daos. In that brief instant, the Space-Time Heavenly Dao Realm could not weaken it much."
However, the impact of the Heavenly Stele could not harm the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse much.
After all, this was the body of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, imperishable through ten thousand calamities.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse looked coldly at Hun Wuji and said, "Hmm, I didn't expect you to have also grasped the Space-Time Great Dao and reached this level. Moreover, you actually possess bloodline power similar to this body's flowing within you. Are you the little one who escaped back then? And the Chaos Dao technique on you reminds me of that person. He was strong. Back then, if not for him..."
It seemed to sigh, but the corpse's imposing aura suddenly increased countlessfold. A palm strike swept out, annihilating past, present, and future, terrifying beyond measure.
The Heavenly Stele directly exploded. The palm strike's momentum continued unabated, sweeping toward Hun Wuji.
Furthermore, the Space-Time Heavenly Dao Realm enveloped Hun Wuji.
Hun Wuji felt immense danger. Although this was not his true Heavenly Father, it was his Heavenly Father's corpse mutated into something else, still extremely fearsome.
Chaotic light and time fragments simultaneously bloomed from his body, jointly resisting the envelopment of the Space-Time Heavenly Dao Realm as he rapidly retreated.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse strode forward, traversing all obstacles with a single step, arriving before Hun Wuji, its palm descending.
Without a doubt, although Hun Wuji was strong, compared to the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse, there was still a vast gap. He was far from a match.
Boom!
Just as that palm was about to land, suddenly, incomparable chaotic light surged from Hun Wuji's body, blocking the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse's strike.
Clearly visible, a Chaos Heavenly Seal appeared. Waves of Heavenly Venerate might, capable of suppressing past and present, surged forth. Even the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse's attack could not break through.
Moreover, the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse's expression changed. "It's Primordial Beginning!"
Evidently, it actually recognized the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate.
The emergence of the Chaos Heavenly Seal was as if the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate had personally arrived, terrifying beyond limits.
Hun Wuji's pressure greatly lessened, for he knew that although his master had bestowed the Chaos Heavenly Seal for his protection, it was merely for protection.
The Chaos Heavenly Dao power released by the Chaos Heavenly Seal was strong, but it was only a trace of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate's power within.
In the distance, the several Ancient Great Venerables wore grave expressions, not just because of the Chaos Heavenly Seal, but more so because of the Endless Heavenly Venerate corpse's words. Clearly, from its earlier statement, it could be inferred that it actually knew the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate.
This shouldn't be. After the Endless Heavenly Venerate fell, it had remained within the Endless Forbidden Zone, never leaving it for a single step. Even if it had learned from the many powerful beings who had entered the forbidden zone throughout history, the current situation seemed even more bizarre and strange. It appeared as if they had had some degree of contact in the past.
"So it really is him?"
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, looking at the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse. That sense of familiarity grew increasingly strong.
He could confirm that the being before him was definitely not the Endless Heavenly Venerate, but that familiar feeling came from past contact.
Who exactly was it?
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse stared intently at the Chaos Heavenly Seal that hung suspended, radiating billions of layers of chaotic light. It knew that this son of the Endless Heavenly Venerate had a great connection with the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate.
However, looking at the Chaos Heavenly Seal, it also revealed a blazing heat. If it could refine and wield the Heavenly Seal of that Heavenly Venerate King, it would likely be of immense help in breaking the seal.
Thus, it looked at Hun Wuji and said, "Hand over the Chaos Heavenly Seal, and I shall spare your lives!"
