The fall of a Supreme Giant not only caused earth-shattering waves across the entire Southern Wasteland, but its impact on Ye Chen and the others was also significant.
In the end, the Zhenyu Imperial Clan became one of the most powerful imperial clans in the Southern Wasteland, swallowing up everything once owned by the Chitian Emperor Ancestor.
Under the pressure of the Zhenyu Imperial Clan's armies, the Chitian Imperial Clan also declined completely. Its most powerful Ancient Great Emperors had long since seized the opportunity to break away, not daring to oppose a Supreme Giant like the Zhenyu Great Emperor.
Multiple supreme powerhouses of the imperial clan were also slain by the Ancient Great Emperors under the Zhenyu Great Emperor's command, resulting in heavy casualties.
The Chitian Emperor Ancestor's cultivation dojo appeared—a cave abode that resembled an ancient and profound great world.
This was the cultivation ground of a generation's Giant, infinitely profound and wondrous. Even Supreme Giants would be moved by it, and Emperor-level figures would go mad for it, for it contained the profound and secret power left behind by a generation's Giant through countless eons of cultivation.
Through long-term cultivation here, Emperor-level figures could comprehend its mysteries, gaining greater hope of advancing to the Giant level.
With the Zhenyu Great Emperor's permission, the Zhenyu Imperial Son led Ye Chen and the others into the Chitian Emperor Ancestor's dojo for a frenzied period of cultivation before the Southern Wasteland Boundary City's Teleportation Gate opened.
It had to be admitted that as one of the Southern Wasteland's Supreme Giants, the Chitian Emperor Ancestor possessed countless divine treasures, and multiple Great Emperor inheritances were also within his dojo.
The Zhenyu Imperial Son, Ye Chen, Martial God, and the others seized this opportunity to cultivate continuously.
Among them was a training ground left by the Chitian Emperor Ancestor for the Chitian Imperial Son, Chi Changtian. It contained imprints of the Chitian Emperor Ancestor's youth, manifestations of a Supreme Giant in his younger days, representing absolute, peerless supremacy at the same stage. These imprints would appear twice a month to spar with the Chitian Imperial Son, tempering him.
Without a doubt, this was a peerless training ground.
The Zhenyu Imperial Son, Ye Chen, Martial God, and the others entered it one after another. Only they were qualified to spar with the Chitian Emperor Ancestor's youthful imprint.
They benefited immensely, all gaining significant growth.
However, Ye Chen's strength was terrifyingly powerful. Even when fighting at the same level, every time he sparred with the youthful Chitian Emperor Ancestor, he would ultimately overwhelm him with absolute, overwhelming force.
Inside the Chitian Emperor Ancestor's dojo, the Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others cultivated directly for over a hundred years, long missing the original opening time of the Teleportation Gate.
But it didn't matter. The Zhenyu Imperial Clan had already become one of the controlling imperial clans of the Southern Wasteland Boundary City, with the authority to open the Teleportation Gate at any time.
Cultivating within the dojo of a Southern Wasteland Giant was an immense benefit for these young Heaven's Prides.
Meanwhile, the imperial clan of the Xumo Great Emperor's lineage and the people of the Seventy-Two Villages arrived within the Chitian Emperor's Domain. Together with the Zhenyu Imperial Clan, they jointly became the masters of the imperial city belonging to the Chitian Emperor Ancestor's lineage.
Although there were many dissenting voices within the Zhenyu Imperial Clan, arguing that the Xumo Great Emperor's lineage had long declined and was unworthy of entering the Chitian Emperor City, under the decree of the Zhenyu Great Emperor, no one could refute it.
Under the protection of the Zhenyu Imperial Clan, the Seventy-Two Villages also began to develop rapidly within this vast emperor's domain.
It could be foreseen that in the not-too-distant future, the Xumo Great Emperor's lineage had great hope of giving birth to a Flesh Body Great Emperor.
Everything was developing in a positive direction.
A hundred years later, Ye Chen, the Zhenyu Imperial Son, Martial God, and the others had all made rapid progress, becoming even stronger.
Everyone had stepped into the ranks of God Kings. Among them, the Zhenyu Imperial Son had even become a Six Tribulation God King, extremely powerful.
As for Ye Chen, Martial God, and the others who had emerged from the Boundary Desert, because they purely cultivated their flesh bodies, they had not condensed a God King Great Dao Source, nor was there any concept of God King Tribulations for them.
Only occasionally would the heavens descend terrifying, dreadful great tribulations—heavenly tribulations of the flesh body evolution path. They were calamities, but also baptisms, promoting them to become even stronger.
After the group cultivated for a hundred years and became sufficiently powerful, and with the Southern Wasteland Boundary City's teleportation array prepared, they finally used the Teleportation Gate to formally leave the Southern Wasteland.
The Southern Wasteland was an endless territory in the southern borderlands of the Origin Land.
Because it bordered the wilderness and was relatively desolate compared to the inner regions of the Origin Land, it was called the Southern Wasteland.
The Origin Land was far, far too vast. Even the Southern Wasteland, which contained thousands of emperor domains, could only be considered the tip of the iceberg.
Territories like this were as numerous as blooming flowers, countless beyond measure.
Precisely because the Origin Land was so immense, even an Ancient Great Emperor who had attained the Dao and become a Venerable would not know how many tens of thousands of years it would take to reach the core Thirty-Three Celestial Domains by traveling on foot.
Therefore, to reach the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains, one could only rely on super Teleportation Gates to shorten the distance.
However, even using the super Teleportation Gate of the Southern Wasteland Boundary City could not accomplish it in one go. They first needed to teleport to an intermediate territory between the Southern Wasteland and the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains—the Boundless Realm!
The Boundless Realm was akin to a relay station.
Only by transferring there could they truly reach the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains.
Ye Chen, the Zhenyu Imperial Son, Martial God, and the others used the Teleportation Gate of the Southern Wasteland Boundary City, which had been inscribed by a powerhouse whose cultivation had reached the level of a Giant in the past.
Although using the Teleportation Gate could greatly shorten the time to reach the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains, it was only relative.
Within the teleportation passage, they still needed thirty years to completely arrive at the Boundless Realm.
Naturally, during this period, the group continued to cultivate tirelessly, not wasting a single moment, devoting all their time to cultivation.
Within the void space, it was pitch black, with only a single spacetime passageway piercing through.
Here, a magnificent divine ship sailed, inscribed with emperor-level formation patterns—it was an emperor-level divine ship.
Otherwise, during such an ultra-long-distance teleportation into the void space, due to the extreme-speed traversal, they would constantly face terrifying spatial storms. Even Ancient Monarchs would be engulfed and directly destroyed by such spatial storms.
This was no joke.
The emperor-level divine ship was enveloped in a hazy emperor's light, constantly resisting the terrifying spatial storms of the void space.
At this moment, Ye Chen sat cross-legged at the ship's bow, even experimentally extending a small half of his body outside the ship, exposed to the void. This caused many to exclaim in alarm and worry for him.
After all, those spatial storms contained the terrifying power to annihilate monarch-level powerhouses.
But Ye Chen was unafraid. He used the violent power of the spatial storms, letting them crash against his body to temper his flesh.
Although the terrifying spatial storms blasted towards him, even with Ye Chen's powerful flesh body, he could not remain unscathed. He often appeared with flesh torn and bloodied, even with stark white bones exposed.
But without a doubt, after enduring such prolonged baptism by the spatial storms, his flesh body was like a piece of raw iron. After being hammered a thousand times, its toughness was increasing at an astonishing rate.
This was Ye Chen's method of flesh body evolution—unconventional, adopting all feasible methods to improve, constantly tempering, and sublimating to the extreme.
Unrestrained, all-encompassing like the sea accepting a hundred rivers!
However, Ye Chen did not know that this was actually a feasible method he had conceived after contemplating the Dao for a hundred thousand years before sealing his memories.
The Desolate Heavenly Venerate walked the path of proving the Dao to become an Immortal Venerate through immortality!
The Primordial Heavenly Venerate was 'Unmoving'!
The Great God Pangu proved the Dao through force!
Because Ye Chen was influenced too greatly by external factors and too deeply by his own Chaos Eternal Heavenly Dao, he cultivated a method he believed to be even more powerful for proving the Dao to Eternity through the flesh body.
It was still proving the Dao to become a Flesh Body Heavenly Venerate through Chaos.
However, this Chaos was not that Chaos, but a similar characteristic.
Chaos was all-encompassing, containing everything.
Ye Chen's method of proving the Dao to Eternity through the flesh body was to be all-encompassing, to accept all things like the sea, and thus prove the Dao through the flesh body.
