Three hundred thousand years had passed since their parting, and Ye Chen had finally become a True Supreme. In terms of combat power, he was even capable of engaging in a life-or-death battle at the peak against an overlord like the Cangtian Overlord.
One could imagine just how terrifying his current cultivation, combat power, battle experience, and combat awareness had become, reaching heights unimaginable to ordinary people.
No wonder he had been able to defeat the battle imprint of Zhen Tian War God's younger self at the same realm back then.
Now, he could be considered the strongest among the first echelon beneath the Great Venerables. Apart from figures like Hun Wuji and Huang Xu, the Supreme Supremes, he could be said to fear nothing.
Naturally, for a True Supreme like Ye Chen, who could find no match across the All Heavens, even the current Heaven-Mending Clan regarded him with immense importance.
Especially after the Heaven-Mending Clan's high-level members learned from the Lord of Heaven-Mending City that Ye Chen's combat power was actually not inferior to the Cangtian Overlord, everyone was stunned.
The Cangtian Overlord was a peerless king on the contemporary Origin Supreme List, a generation-defining overlord renowned for his Cangtian prestige, his fame resounding throughout the Origin All Heavens with no match to be found, belonging to the first sequence of strongest beneath the Great Venerables.
Even the Lord of Heaven-Mending City, the clan leader of the Heaven-Mending Clan, if not for the enhancements provided by the Heaven-Mending Hall and Heaven-Mending City, would not be a match for this Supreme King, the Cangtian Overlord.
Moreover, three hundred thousand years ago, Ye Chen was merely at the Great Void Realm. Although a Great Void Supreme, he still did not enter the eyes of the Supremes across the All Heavens.
Now, after only three hundred thousand years, he had already become such a generation-defining, peerless True Supreme. It was truly somewhat difficult to imagine.
"A True Supreme, comparable to a Supreme King! To think one would appear before our eyes!"
A half-step overlord of the Tai Zhen Realm from the Heaven-Mending Clan sighed with emotion. Although also at the Tai Zhen Realm, he clearly understood that a Tai Zhen King's strength far surpassed ordinary Tai Zhen, let alone a True Supreme hailed as absolutely invincible within the Tai Zhen Realm. Such a one could undoubtedly top the Tai Zhen List, possessing an undisputed absolute first combat power that all Tai Zhen Kings could not contest.
A Tai Zhen King could already fight against the odds, battling a Supreme Realm overlord, let alone a True Supreme.
Thus, it was not unimaginable that this newly-advanced True Supreme, Ye Chen, could engage in a peak battle against the Cangtian Overlord.
A True Supreme comparable to a Supreme King demanded serious attention. Even the Eternal Heavenly Race would not look down upon such a figure, let alone the Heaven-Mending Clan, currently the most fallen of the Eternal Heavenly Races. They certainly would not be arrogant or presumptuous.
The Heaven-Mending Clan knew that as long as they could continue to maintain good relations with Ye Chen, even deepen their existing connection, if Ye Chen truly succeeded in proving the Dao to Eternity in the future, the benefits for the Heaven-Mending Clan would be immeasurably great.
Just like the Chaos Heavenly Emperor of the past, it was precisely because they had a good relationship with the Chaos Heavenly Emperor and offered help when he needed it that the current Heaven-Mending Clan no longer feared the oppression of the Wanxuan Heavenly Race. Moreover, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's mending of the Heaven-Mending Realm allowed the Heaven-Mending Clan to officially emerge into the world.
If they could befriend another Supreme Heavenly Venerate, the future benefits for the Heaven-Mending Clan would be boundless.
Of course, the premise was that Ye Chen truly succeeded in proving the Dao to Eternity through his physical body. But at least now, they saw considerable hope.
Mi Tian Shaozun said with a bitter smile, "Brother Ye, how many years has it been? After becoming a Great Void Supreme, you spent only three hundred thousand years to become a True Supreme comparable to a Supreme King. I really want to know, just how did you cultivate?"
This question was also what others wanted to know.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I also experienced a lot to reach this step, but I must mainly thank the Heaven-Mending Venerate for his help."
These words caused a tremor in the eyes of the Heaven-Mending Clan's powerhouses. Could it be that within the Heavenly Venerate Blood Pool there were other hidden secrets unknown to others, perhaps even other Heavenly Venerate legacies left by the Heaven-Mending Venerate? Otherwise, how could Ye Chen break through the realm in just three hundred thousand short years to become an invincible True Supreme?
Ye Chen roughly knew that the Heaven-Mending Venerate had not left that true blood and Heavenly Venerate origin for these Heavenly Venerate descendants of the Heaven-Mending Clan. It was specifically reserved for him alone.
Although he did not understand why the Heaven-Mending Venerate left it only for him and not for the entire Heaven-Mending Clan, these matters were not easy to discuss. All he could do was repay the Heaven-Mending Clan in the future after he proved the Dao to the Supreme Heavenly Position.
Naturally, to better befriend Ye Chen, after numerous internal deliberations, the Heaven-Mending Clan ultimately conferred upon Ye Chen the title of Honorary Vice Clan Leader.
Although not a true Vice Clan Leader, and his authority not as great as that of a Vice Clan Leader, conferring the title of Honorary Vice Clan Leader upon an outsider was enough to demonstrate the Heaven-Mending Clan's regard for Ye Chen.
Ye Chen now possessed immense authority second only to the Clan Leader and Vice Clan Leaders, and he only needed to offer assistance during critical moments for the Heaven-Mending Clan.
Regarding this, Ye Chen stated that even without the position of Honorary Vice Clan Leader he would certainly help, but the Heaven-Mending Clan insisted on giving him the title.
Ye Chen naturally kept this in mind, understanding it was the Heaven-Mending Clan's goodwill, and found it hard to refuse.
As time passed, it wasn't long before everything that happened in the Huangtian Domain became widely known.
A Great Venerable from the Tribulation Executors had taken action in the Huangtian Domain, attempting to kill a peerless Heaven's Pride who had just undergone tribulation, but was stopped by Huang Xu, the teacher of the Huangtian Venerate.
Moreover, in a place unknown to others, the Tribulation Heavenly Venerate had also come, but the Huangtian Venerate had likewise taken action, erupting into an unknown heavenly battle.
In the end, it was heard that a Great Venerable from the Tribulation Executors had fallen, and several Supreme Tribulation Executors had been slain.
The Tribulation Organization suffered heavy casualties.
Without a doubt, this made people increasingly awed by the terrifying might of the Huangtian Race. The Tribulation Organization had come personally, even with the Tribulation Heavenly Venerate appearing, along with a Great Venerable from the Tribulation Executors, yet they were still severely wounded.
The Huangtian Venerate, this Supreme Heavenly Venerate who had proved the Dao to Eternity through his physical body, was actually so fearsome!
At the same time, some were curious: just who was that peerless Heaven's Pride for whom a Great Venerable from the Tribulation Executors had braved entering the Huangtian Domain to kill?
Soon, astonishing news spread. That peerless Heaven's Pride was a generation-defining monster walking the path of proving the Dao to Eternity through the physical body, named Ye Chen—the same true name as that Heavenly Emperor of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion. Moreover, he was extremely monstrous and terrifying. Having cultivated for only several hundred thousand years, he had recently broken through to become a Tai Zhen Realm cultivator.
And he was a True Supreme.
Because someone had needed to strike against this Ye Chen to seize his invincible physical body Dao fruit—a Supreme Realm overlord—who was repelled.
Subsequently, a second, even stronger Supreme Realm overlord appeared: the Juechen Overlord, who pursued and hunted him for a long time, even charging into the Huangtian Domain.
But the Juechen Overlord had fallen, suspected to have been killed by Ye Chen, confirming that Ye Chen was indeed a True Supreme of the physical body path.
Once this news spread, it caused an uproar, triggering great tremors throughout the Origin All Heavens.
The world knew that a Supreme One who stepped into the Three Heavens and Three Supremes did not represent the titles known from the past Jietian Realm, but rather the ultimate combat power manifestation after a major realm.
Great Void Supreme, True Supreme, and Supreme Supreme represented the most powerful, ultimate level within their respective realms of the Three Supreme Realms.
For example, Supreme Supremes like Hun Wuji and Huang Xu were capable of engaging in peak battles against Ancient Great Venerables, with great hope of proving the Dao to the Supreme Heavenly Position.
Now, this Ye Chen had first become a Great Void Supreme three hundred thousand years ago, sweeping through the Great Void Realm invincibly. Even Wansheng, taught by Wanzhan, the strongest Heavenly Venerate descendant of the Wanxuan Heavenly Race and a Tai Xu King with peerless combat power, extremely fearsome, had been crushingly and overwhelmingly defeated by Ye Chen, who was also at the Great Void Realm at the time, simply no match.
Now, after spending only three hundred thousand years, he had become a True Supreme. Such a monstrous cultivation speed was truly unprecedented.
The whole world was shocked and terrified!
Following the two Supreme Supremes, Hun Wuji and Huang Xu, Ye Chen was also considered the third person with the greatest hope of proving the Dao to become a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Naturally, precisely because of this, many forces began investigating this True Supreme's past, hoping to find traces of how he became a True Supreme.
...
The outside world was abuzz.
Ye Chen naturally knew all this, but after returning from his tribulation, he asked the Heaven-Mending Clan for a divine hall and began secluded cultivation.
His cultivation and combat power had advanced by leaps and bounds; he needed to consolidate his cultivation base, leaving no room for the slightest flaw.
Fortunately, his foundation was incomparably solid, with no issues arising.
Especially during the tribulation, he had gained immense benefits.
Not only did he break through to become a True Supreme, with his cultivation and combat power advancing by leaps and bounds, but also because during the tribulation, through his Dao-proving vision of 'the sea accepts all rivers, greatness lies in capacity,' he had imprinted a trace of each Heavenly Venerate's eternal Heavenly Dao power from his battles against the Heavenly Venerates of past and present, integrating them into his body.
This was the greatest harvest.
Now, if he wished, he could completely draw upon these traces of the Heavenly Venerates' eternal Heavenly Dao power for his own use. Although not much, the profundity of eternal Heavenly Dao power was something even he could not fully comprehend. It was enough for Supreme Realm overlords to study for endless eons—a shortcut to glimpsing the Heavenly Venerate domain.
It also represented that once Ye Chen proved the Dao to the Supreme Heavenly Position through his physical body, becoming a Physical Body Heavenly Venerate, his eternal Heavenly Dao power would also be unique.
During his secluded cultivation, Ye Chen continuously studied these eternal Heavenly Dao powers, gradually strengthening the obtained Heavenly Venerates' eternal powers from mere traces to threads, then to strands, growing increasingly powerful.
At the same time, Ye Chen also carefully contemplated his next step on the Supreme Path.
Now, as a True Supreme, he had basically reached the limit with no further room for advancement. The next step was the Supreme Realm.
This alone was enough to make countless cultivators in the world envy and hate him, because how many half-step overlords of the Tai Zhen Realm, after reaching this level, still needed to spend multiple epochs to gradually step into the mid, late, and peak stages of the Tai Zhen Realm, and only then could they ascend to the Supreme Realm.
How could they be like Ye Chen, who upon entering the Tai Zhen Realm was already at the peak, ready to walk the Supreme Path?
After thirty years of exhaustive contemplation, Ye Chen discovered that if he wanted to become a Supreme Realm cultivator, it would be extremely difficult.
Because given his current foundation, once he stepped into the Supreme Realm, he would at the very least possess cultivation power ranking within the top five of the Supreme List, and it was highly possible he would become a Supreme Supreme, not inferior to Hun Wuji or Huang Xu.
But precisely because of this, wanting to become a Supreme Realm cultivator was far too difficult for him; his foundation was too terrifying.
The Heavenly Venerate true blood and Heavenly Venerate origin left by the Heaven-Mending Venerate were enough to give a Supreme Realm cultivator hope of becoming an Ancient Great Venerable, yet they only allowed him to step into the Tai Zhen Realm.
One could imagine how immensely difficult his Supreme Path would be.
In other words, there was no need to stay with the Heaven-Mending Clan any longer. He must go to other places to seek opportunities left by other Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
Ye Chen faintly felt that since the Heaven-Mending Clan had left corresponding preparations for him, then other Supreme Heavenly Venerates, who could see through past, present, and future, might also have left corresponding means for him, just like the Heaven-Mending Clan.
It was very possible.
Of course, if he strengthened those strands of the Heavenly Venerates' eternal Heavenly Dao power, when they reached a certain level, there was also hope of helping him break through.
But according to the current progress, wanting to fully strengthen these eternal Heavenly Dao powers would probably require billions of years to reach a state suitable for breaking through.
Billions of years might seem short, not very long for many Supreme Ones, but for Ye Chen, it was too long; he could not wait.
He could only go to other places where Heavenly Venerates left traces, or visit Eternal Heavenly Races and Heavenly Venerate-level forces to see if he could obtain other heaven-defying opportunities left by Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
After resting for a hundred years, Ye Chen left the Heaven-Mending Realm and came to the Heaven-Mending Traveling Palace to pay respects to the Lord of Heaven-Mending City.
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City personally received Ye Chen, sensing that the latter's aura was now restrained, like an ordinary Supreme One. However, he clearly understood just how terrifying this young man before him was. Even an oldveteran Supreme King like the Cangtian Overlord had suffered at his hands. Without the enhancements of Heaven-Mending City, he would also be no match.
The two chatted for a while, and Ye Chen brought up his request to take his leave.
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City did not try to keep him, because he knew the current Heaven-Mending Clan had no ability to retain Ye Chen, and also knew of his heaven-defying nature, destined to soar to the heavens. He couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, Fellow Daoist, you should leave the Heaven-Mending Domain. Although the Heaven-Mending Domain has many opportunities, even the opportunity of the Heavenly Venerate Blood Pool has been obtained by you. No other opportunity, no matter how powerful, could compare to a Heavenly Venerate opportunity."
Regarding this, Ye Chen felt grateful and cupped his fists, saying, "For this, I thank the Heaven-Mending Clan for their gift. Ye will surely repay you generously in the future."
That's exactly what I was waiting for.
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist, you are too modest. This is an opportunity that belongs to you."
Ye Chen rolled his eyes somewhat helplessly.
After bidding farewell to the Lord of Heaven-Mending City and also saying goodbye to Mi Tian Shaozun, Ye Chen prepared to find Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others.
Three hundred thousand years had passed, and Ye Chen did not know where his old friends like Zhenyu Imperial Son had gone. But before parting, they had exchanged communication jade tokens and the like for convenient contact.
During the three hundred thousand years of secluded cultivation, he had received multiple messages from Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others, but at that time he was at a critical moment of transformation within the Heavenly Venerate Blood Pool, so he had never responded.
After emerging from seclusion and undergoing tribulation, Ye Chen, through the various messages sent, already knew that over these tens of thousands of years, they had basically all become Jietian Realm Supreme Ones.
Even Zhenyu Imperial Son had become a half-step giant of the Heaven-Mending Realm, the most powerful.
This showed that in just three hundred thousand short years, for them to reach this step, they must have obtained many opportunities.
However, with the push from the Heavenly Venerates, infinite opportunities emerging was also within reason.
Of course, these advancements were worlds apart compared to Ye Chen's.
But after all, not everyone was a freak like Ye Chen.
After responding to Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others, Ye Chen also learned their approximate locations.
Three hundred thousand years apart, it was time to gather, and also to inquire whether there were other heaven-defying immortal opportunities left by Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
During the Twilight of the All Heavens, too many Supreme Heavenly Venerates had fallen. It was a bloody Chaos Epoch; even Supreme Heavenly Venerates had fallen in large numbers. One could imagine how tragic it was.
Although there had always been rumors that Supreme Heavenly Venerates were undying, eternally immortal, and would eventually return against the heavens one day.
But no one knew when the fallen Supreme Heavenly Venerates would be able to return against the world. In the mortal world, they had each left their own Heavenly Venerate legacies, not necessarily all left within Eternal Heavenly Races or Heavenly Venerate-level forces. These would also truly emerge accompanying this era.
Ye Chen came to the transmission Domain Gate of Heaven-Mending City. Upon arrival, the place was already gathered with thousands of cultivators preparing to go to other distant lands.
Although the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains were only the tip of the iceberg compared to the entire Origin Land, in reality, any single Eternal Celestial Domain was terrifyingly vast and expansive, even more astonishing than a Chaos Ancient Universe.
Moreover, the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains were the absolute core central land of the Origin Land, with traces of the Dao marks left by the Heavenly Venerates of the past. The heaven and earth were incomparably stable, suppressing cultivators. Even a Supreme One wanting to cross a single Eternal Celestial Domain would need tens or even hundreds of years.
As for transmission across Eternal Celestial Domains, ordinary Domain Gates, due to the rules of heaven and earth, simply could not transmit over such vast distances.
Only the great Heavenly Venerate ancient cities and some legendary Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolises possessed transmission Domain Gates established by great existences spanning the ages, capable of crossing the distances of Eternal Celestial Domains.
Therefore, countless cultivators used the transmission Domain Gate of Heaven-Mending City to go to other distant places.
The transmission Domain Gate of Heaven-Mending City opened only once a month. Each opening could synchronously transmit to many places, an extremely powerful transmission Domain Gate.
Such transmission Domain Gates generally only Eternal Heavenly Races possessed.
Of course, the energy consumption required was also enormous. Therefore, the wealth needed for transmission was enough to make even Supreme powerhouses feel heartache.
Thus, generally speaking, few cultivators would initiate a transmission alone. Usually, it was gathered and opened once a month, pooling enough wealth to request the Heaven-Mending Clan to open it.
Now, there were still ten days until the transmission Domain Gate opened.
At this time, Ye Chen, with his aura restrained, arrived before the transmission Domain Gate. The one guarding the transmission Domain Gate was a Heaven-Mending Clan elder at the Heaven-Mending Realm level, stationed at the transmission Domain Gate year-round, also cultivating.
Because each time the transmission Domain Gate opened, it would activate the faint traces of Heavenly Venerate secret patterns carved by the clan's founding Heavenly Venerate ancestor, which had great cultivation effects even for half-step giants of the Heaven-Mending Realm. Therefore, this Elder King had voluntarily remained here.
He saw Ye Chen but did not recognize him, because he had ended a million-year secluded cultivation only a hundred thousand years ago, missing the time of Ye Chen's rise to fame. It was normal not to know him.
This Heaven-Mending Clan Elder King sensed that the Ye Chen before him was no ordinary individual, but he was not afraid, because behind him was the Heaven-Mending Clan. He said indifferently, "There are still ten days until the transmission Domain Gate opens."
Ye Chen directly took out an ancient token with a timeless flavor, inscribed with two characters: Heaven-Mending!
Upon seeing this token, the Heaven-Mending Clan elder's expression changed, and he hurriedly performed a bowing salute towards him.
This was the Heaven-Mending Token. Within the entire Heaven-Mending Clan, only a handful of people could possess it, such as the Lord of Heaven-Mending City, several Vice Clan Leaders, and Elders. Even Mi Tian Shaozun was not qualified to have one, showing its significance.
This elder had also heard that an Honorary Vice Clan Leader had appeared within the clan, holding a high position. The person before him was likely him.
Moreover, recalling the recent matter of that True Supreme Ye Chen, he immediately knew that the Honorary Vice Clan Leader was this person, namely Ye Chen the True Supreme.
Ye Chen quickly stopped the elder's salute, transmitting his voice, "Elder, you are too polite. I do not wish to expose my identity."
The elder naturally understood.
After the two exchanged a few words, learning that Ye Chen planned to go to the Kunlun Celestial Domain, the elder immediately claimed there was no need to wait; the transmission Domain Gate could be opened right away.
Ye Chen waved his hand, "I can continue to wait; there is no need to open it immediately."
The elder smiled and transmitted his voice, "Vice Clan Leader, you are too serious. Actually, that bit of energy for opening the transmission Domain Gate is negligible for our Heaven-Mending Clan. Even if opened continuously, it could be maintained. Because the transmission Domain Gate was left by the founding Heavenly Venerate ancestor, it can draw energy from between heaven and earth, requiring no maintenance. Claiming it requires enormous energy to the outside world is only to obtain some precious treasures."
Ye Chen smiled. He understood the meaning. Some treasures might not be extremely valuable but were rare. The Heaven-Mending Clan might not possess them but could collect them through the transmission Domain Gate.
Moreover, this transmission Domain Gate belonged to the Heaven-Mending Clan. For other cultivators, it was merely a transaction.
After a brief moment of preparation, under the astonished gazes of numerous cultivators, the Heaven-Mending Domain's transmission Domain Gate actually opened ahead of schedule.
They all looked towards Ye Chen, but Ye Chen had altered his true appearance, not wishing to be overly exposed, so no one knew his true identity.
Many cultivators hurriedly paid the corresponding transmission fee and entered the transmission Domain Gate, officially beginning the transmission.
The Heaven-Mending City's transmission Domain Gate opened a stable, multicolored transmission channel within the endless void space, simultaneously splitting into multiple channels transmitting to other locations.
Among them, the transmission channel Ye Chen was in led to the Kunlun Celestial Domain.
After leaving the Heaven-Mending Domain, Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others had headed to the Kunlun Celestial Domain.
The Kunlun Celestial Domain was a legendary Eternal Celestial Domain opened by the Kunlun Heavenly Venerate of the All Heavens Era, vast and boundless, no smaller than the Heaven-Mending Domain.
Within the Kunlun Celestial Domain, Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others had obtained the legacy of an ancient Great Void Realm powerhouse, rapidly breaking through realms and rising to prominence.
There were even rumors of a Supreme Realm inheritance originating from the All Heavens Era emerging.
Of course, even a Supreme Realm legacy, Ye Chen could treat with indifference, for now he could be mentioned in the same breath as Supreme Kings on the Supreme List.
However, recent rumors suggested that another Supreme Heavenly Venerate, who had once contended with the Kunlun Heavenly Venerate, had left behind Heavenly Venerate-related opportunities there, thus attracting countless powerhouses from the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains to rush over one after another.
Moreover, through Zhenyu Imperial Son, he learned that traces of a Demon Dao Heavenly Venerate had indeed emerged there long ago, and in recent years, it had been widely rumored that a Heavenly Venerate legacy was about to appear.
The Heaven-Mending Clan naturally possessed powerful intelligence, and Ye Chen, as the Vice Clan Leader of the Heaven-Mending Clan's Netherworld Mansion, naturally also received relevant intelligence, confirming that a Heavenly Venerate relic had indeed emerged.
Boom—
Just as Ye Chen was sitting cross-legged on a divine ship, waiting to travel to the Kunlun Celestial Domain, fierce battles erupted within the endless void space, with Great Void Realm powerhouses fighting intensely.
However, the transmission channel was also quite stable; even the clashes of Great Void Realm powerhouses could hardly affect the channel.
Of course, the main reason was that the battles between Great Void Realm powerhouses were far away, at least over a hundred million li away, as the residual shockwaves were already very weak when they arrived.
The closer they got to the Kunlun Celestial Domain, the more such intense battles there were, showing just how many powerhouses were heading to the Kunlun Celestial Domain.
Boom—
Suddenly, within the endless void space, a multicolored storm of the Great Dao appeared, with two terrifyingly powerful supreme beings locked in fierce combat.
"Heavens! They are Tai Zhen Realm half-step Overlords!"
"Two Tai Zhen Realm half-step Overlords are fighting in the endless void space!"
"Too terrifying! It's simply earth-shattering!"
The cultivators in the transmission channel were shocked and somewhat terrified. That level was who knows how many times stronger than the Great Void Realm. If they got too close, the transmission channel would be smashed apart.
Boom—
At this moment, because they were too close, the two Tai Zhen Realm half-step Overlords shook the transmission channel, sending unparalleled destructive power into it, causing devastating impacts on everyone inside.
However, the two Tai Zhen Realm half-step Overlords paid no heed at all; their eyes were only on each other.
As for these people, to them, they were mere ants, not worth mentioning!
At this moment, Ye Chen stood up. A surge of overwhelming blood energy swept forth, directly suppressing all the destructive power that had entered the transmission channel and forcing it back. At the same time, an indifferent voice resounded through the endless void space: "Scram!"
Endless blood energy transformed into a sky-supporting giant hand spanning ten billion li within the void space, blazing like fire and sun, and in the blink of an eye, it slapped the two Tai Zhen Realm half-step Overlords.
Boom—
Boom—
Within the transmission channel, the two peerless half-step Overlords who had once dominated the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains were now so vulnerable, smashed into two clouds of blood mist by a single slap, with infinite Great Dao rules scattering and divine power surging.
This was truly hard to imagine. These were Tai Zhen Realm half-step Overlords, unparalleled and magnificent existences!
Only after the transmission channel rapidly vanished within the endless void space did two figures reform, but their auras had plummeted drastically. They looked at the vanished direction with lingering fear.
They both knew they had kicked an iron plate this time. Who could have imagined that such a peerless existence would be riding in that transmission channel?
Generally speaking, upon reaching the Tai Zhen Realm, one could go almost anywhere under the heavens, and few would use transmission Domain Gates, as their speed might not necessarily surpass their own.
Especially someone who could smash them apart with a single slap—that level was undoubtedly a Supreme Realm Overlord.
Although they had just experienced a huge impact caused by the clash of two Tai Zhen Realm half-step Overlords, as the transmission continued, there were still many peerless powerhouses fighting within the endless void space, affecting the operation of the transmission channel.
"Sigh—"
Letting out a sigh, Ye Chen reached out and tore open the barrier of the transmission channel as easily as parting a curtain, entering the endless void space, because continuing like this would disturb him as well.
Swish—
He emerged from the endless void space and returned to reality.
He was still in the Heaven-Mending Domain.
Now, with his abilities, even the vastness of the Origin Thirty-Three Celestial Domains was within his reach.
The Heaven-Mending Domain was large—many times vaster than the Boundless Domain and the Southern Wilderness combined—but also small, relative to other Eternal Celestial Domains.
Ye Chen moved extremely fast. As a True Supreme, his speed was no less than that of a Supreme King. Even if he couldn't cast spells, at this level, the mysteries of his physical body were not much inferior to the Dao techniques of a Supreme King. He leaped through the void repeatedly, each leap covering hundreds of billions of li, astonishingly fast.
In not too long a time, Ye Chen had truly entered the Kunlun Celestial Domain.
The Kunlun Celestial Domain was vast and boundless, with layer upon layer of mountains.
The legendary Origin First Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, originated within the Kunlun Celestial Domain.
It was said that the Kunlun Heavenly Venerate was born from Kunlun Mountain gaining sentience and cultivating.
Therefore, the Kunlun Celestial Domain had many mountains.
Ye Chen traveled through the Kunlun Celestial Domain. This domain, due to the fall of the Kunlun Heavenly Venerate in the past, and the Kunlun Heavenly Race perishing along with him in the river of time, reportedly now only had one member left: the Kunxu Great Venerable of the Chaos Celestial Mansion.
It was said that Kunxu Great Venerable was the offspring of the Kunlun Heavenly Venerate, which later became widely known.
The Kunlun Celestial Domain also became a masterless domain due to the fall of the Kunlun Heavenly Venerate and the disappearance of the Kunlun Heavenly Race. Even after Kunxu Great Venerable's identity as the offspring of the Kunlun Heavenly Venerate was confirmed, he never returned to this domain, allowing various forces to contend over this vast celestial land.
Upon entering the Kunlun Celestial Domain, Ye Chen traveled onward, traversing endless skies, each step covering tens to hundreds of billions of li, his speed incredibly fast.
Along the way, he naturally saw many supreme powerhouses continuously heading towards the location where the Heavenly Venerate traces had emerged.
However, none could match Ye Chen's speed.
Soon, he arrived at the place mentioned by Zhenyu Imperial Son in the communication jade slip—the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm!
The Seventy-Two Pillar Realm was located at the core of the Kunlun Celestial Domain, adjacent to the former Kunlun Celestial Realm.
From afar, one could see towering, magnificent sky-supporting giant pillars standing, as if propping up the entire vast heavens and earth.
This was also the location where the Heavenly Venerate relic had emerged this time.
This vast, endless expanse of heaven and earth was saturated with terrifying demonic energy, pitch-black like ink, extremely gloomy. Even the sunlight of the Heavenly Venerate's sun could not pierce through the layers of demonic clouds of the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm to shine within.
Terrifying demonic beasts roamed within the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm, many above the Supreme One realm, making it perilous.
Rumors said it was the demonic legacy site left by the sole Demon Dao Heavenly Venerate of the All Heavens Era—the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate.
It was widely rumored that during the Twilight of the Heavens, the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate waged war across the heavens, leading an endless demonic army to invade the Kunlun Celestial Domain, intending to slay the Kunlun Heavenly Venerate, slaughter the entire Kunlun Celestial Domain, and devour endless blood energy to strengthen the demonic dynasty's power.
The Kunlun Heavenly Vengage had once engaged in a celestial war with this Demon Dao Heavenly Venerate. The Seventy-Two Pillar Realm was the strongest demonic realm left behind when the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate's endless demonic army attacked the Kunlun Celestial Realm.
Because the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm represented the legendary Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods, the seventy-two strongest Demon Gods under the Demon Dao Heavenly Venerate, who had once stirred up a cataclysm of blood during the Twilight of the Heavens.
The Seventy-Two Pillar Realm: each Demon God Pillar was an ancient, vast great world.
The Seventy-Two Pillar Realm was both seventy-two great worlds and a super demonic great world formed by their convergence, no less than a Chaos Ancient Universe.
During the Twilight of the Heavens era, wherever the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm passed, demons overwhelmed endless lands, and the heads of countless living beings rolled.
Unfortunately, the once extremely famous Seventy-Two Pillar Realm ultimately remained forever in the Kunlun Celestial Domain. Historical records state that the Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods led the endless demonic army of the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm in a life-and-death battle with the Kunlun Heavenly Race, ultimately perishing together.
The Kunlun Heavenly Race disappeared into the river of history, and the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate's demonic dynasty also became history.
"Rumors say that after the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate engaged in a life-and-death celestial war with the Kunlun Heavenly Race, they both seemingly perished. After the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm perished together with the Kunlun Heavenly Race, it later suddenly vanished within the Kunlun Celestial Domain. Only in the last several hundred thousand years, under the promotion of various Heavenly Venerates, did it finally manifest in the world. That is to say, the Heavenly Venerate legacy of the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate is very likely within the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm."
"However, there are also rumors that during the life-and-death celestial war between the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate and the Kunlun Heavenly Venerate, both were severely injured, and other Supreme Heavenly Venerates secretly intervened, taking the opportunity to trap and kill the two Heavenly Venerates. The most suspected is the Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate, because back then, the Chaos Celestial Emperor took a celestial coffin from the Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate, and that coffin buried the Kunlun Heavenly Venerate."
Before leaving, Ye Chen had used the Heaven-Mending Clan to learn much about ancient and modern times.
Of course, that originated from the most distant Twilight of the Heavens; even many secrets were unknown to the Heaven-Mending Clan.
Ye Chen stepped into the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm. Instantly, endless demonic energy surged towards him, attempting to invade and transform Ye Chen into a demonic race creature.
But it could not succeed, because his physical body was too strong; mere demonic energy could not invade in the slightest.
However, the demonic energy of the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm was terrifying enough; even cultivators at the Great Ability realm would find it difficult to resist such demonic energy.
Ye Chen tore through the rolling demonic energy, speeding onward, and finally arrived within the vast world of one of the relatively core Demon God Pillars, also called a Pillar Realm.
This Pillar Realm was called the Heavenly Net Pillar Realm.
The Heavenly Net Pillar Realm was the Pillar Realm of Heavenly Net Great Venerable, one of the Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods under the Demon Dao Heavenly Venerate, the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate. Heavenly Net Great Venerable was among the strongest Demon Gods even within the Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods, rumored to have reached the Ancient Great Venerable level.
There were rumors that the Heavenly Venerate legacy of the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate had appeared within the Heavenly Net Pillar Realm.
The Heavenly Net Pillar Realm was extremely vast, boundless, equivalent to a Chaos Ancient Universe. Some said it was formed from the origin universe left by Heavenly Net Great Venerable, immense and endless.
Within the Heavenly Net Pillar Realm was an endless starry sky land, with billions upon billions of demonic mountains and great peaks floating in the starry sky. Some demonic peaks were countless times larger than stars.
One demonic peak stood at the center, as magnificent as a Heavenly Venerate Mountain.
Due to rumors of the emergence of the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate's legacy, countless powerhouses from the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains rushed over. Within the Heavenly Net Pillar Realm, streams of light flashed, often figures at the Supreme One realm, traversing the skies, heading towards the Heavenly Net Mountain standing at the center of the Heavenly Net Pillar Realm.
Especially demonic path cultivators, their numbers were uncountable, rushing from afar, entering the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm like fish in water.
The Seventy-Two Pillar Realm provided great cultivation enhancement for demonic path cultivators.
Along the way, there were also stars that, over time, had naturally been tainted with extreme demonic energy. They were taken away by various powerhouses, all considered demonic treasures that could greatly enhance demonic path cultivation.
Ye Chen paid no heed. He strolled leisurely, each step covering tens to hundreds of billions of li, rapidly traversing layer upon layer of star domains. Before long, he arrived at the endless fragment zone floating outside Heavenly Net Mountain.
They were called fragments, but in reality, each piece was thousands or even tens of thousands of li across, some even exceeding a hundred million li—super fragments, though they seemed small compared to Heavenly Net Mountain.
Rumors said this was the result of the confrontation between Heavenly Net Great Venerable and Kunxu Great Venerable when the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate's lineage waged war against the Kunlun Heavenly Venerate's lineage.
The two Ancient Great Venerables fought fiercely, tearing heaven and earth apart, destroying endless realms.
Heavenly Net Mountain, as magnificent as a Heavenly Venerate Mountain, ultimately had its upper half shattered by Kunxu Great Venerable. The majestic mountain body cracked into countless pieces, creating endless fragments. But because Heavenly Net Mountain possessed special demonic might, it continuously attracted these fragments, causing them to always orbit the collapsed Heavenly Net Mountain, never leaving, forming this spectacle.
Ye Chen did not enter Heavenly Net Mountain directly. Instead, he landed on a fragment about a million li long. Civilization had already developed here, with countless demonic path cultivators residing, a population possibly reaching tens of billions.
Among the fragments floating around Heavenly Net Mountain, many had similarly given birth to life and cultivation civilizations.
The moment Ye Chen landed on this fragment, immediately, a powerful divine sense probed over: "Outsider, please leave this place."
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. He could sense that the owner of this divine sense could be considered a powerhouse, having reached the Sky-Connecting Supreme One realm, which surprised him somewhat.
After all, this million-li fragment was not small, but not large either; it could actually give rise to a Supreme One powerhouse.
But soon, Ye Chen understood. Because this place was quite close to Heavenly Net Mountain, where demonic energy was dense, carrying the vast aura left by Heavenly Net Great Venerable. Moreover, this fragment continent had residual Demon God blood from Heavenly Net Great Venerable and traces of other supreme powerhouses, hence this fragment continent had given rise to a powerful demonic civilization.
Naturally, the Supreme One on the fragment continent also cultivated the demonic path. His words were relatively polite, not driving Ye Chen away with harsh words or attacking. So Ye Chen also responded gently: "I only wish to stay briefly, with no intention to disturb you."
The other party was silent for a moment, then agreed: "Very well, you may. But if you dare to act against the Star Net Continent, do not blame this Emperor for being ruthless!"
Because Ye Chen purely cultivated his physical body and his cultivation was extremely high, the other party did not know exactly how strong he was, only vaguely sensing he was an unfathomable figure.
"Agreed!"
Although Ye Chen could crush the other party with a single finger, he was not someone who enjoyed slaughter. He had come this time to find the Heavenly Venerate legacy of the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate and to find Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others.
He took out the communication jade slip, sent the corresponding coordinates, and waited silently.
Heavenly Net Mountain was enormous, much larger than imagined, somewhat like the Heavenly Venerate Mountain he had seen in the Heaven-Mending Realm, though not quite as grand.
But the aura of Heavenly Net Mountain was somewhat similar.
"An Ancient Great Venerable..."
Ye Chen murmured to himself, because he sensed faint threads of Heavenly Dao aura from Heavenly Net Mountain, though not as pure as the Heavenly Venerate Mountain in the Heaven-Mending Realm. He also recalled the aura he sensed when intercepted by the Tribulation Executor Great Venerable in the Desolate Celestial Domain—very similar, both containing partial Heavenly Dao aura.
Rumors said that Ancient Great Venerables were flawed Heavenly Venerates, unable to successfully prove the supreme celestial position and make their origin Great Dao into an Eternal Heavenly Dao, but they possessed a portion of Eternal Heavenly Dao power, hence also called 'flawed Heavenly Venerates'.
Moreover, Heavenly Net Great Venerable possessed Heavenly Net Mountain, similar to a Heavenly Venerate Mountain. This showed the ambition of Heavenly Net Great Venerable, hoping to one day complete the Heavenly Dao and become a supreme Eternal Heavenly Venerate.
As time passed, more and more outside powerhouses continuously rushed over, like meteors, arriving one by one on the endless fragments orbiting Heavenly Net Mountain, intending to search for the legendary Heavenly Venerate legacy.
The first target was Heavenly Net Mountain, but all were blocked outside by vast might, unable to truly approach.
Because on Heavenly Net Mountain, a demonic light as deep as an abyss and as towering as a mountain peak appeared, containing supreme power.
Clearly, this was the power left by Heavenly Net Great Venerable in the past, enduring through endless ages, never dispersing, protecting Heavenly Net Mountain.
Numerous powerhouses orbited this immensely huge Heavenly Net Mountain, beginning their search for the Heavenly Venerate legacy.
Even if they couldn't find it, Heavenly Net Great Venerable was also a legendary Ancient Great Venerable; obtaining a Great Venerable legacy would be a priceless harvest.
Not long after, Ye Chen received a message from Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others; they were rushing over from outside.
Soon, merely a few hours later, Ye Chen was standing with closed eyes on a cliff at the edge of Star Net Continent when suddenly, several powerful auras tore through the world barrier of Star Net Continent from outside and descended, startling the Supreme One of Star Net Continent so much that his aura trembled.
Because the arrivals were multiple Supreme Ones, especially Zhenyu Imperial Son, who had reached the Heaven-Mending realm and could be called a quasi-powerhouse, much stronger than a Sky-Connecting Supreme One.
Besides Zhenyu Imperial Son, there were several unfamiliar people, very strong, descending together and arriving by Ye Chen's side.
"Brother Ye!"
Zhenyu Imperial Son, Martial God, and others were very happy, stepping forward to embrace Ye Chen.
Other geniuses who had emerged from the Zhenyu Imperial Domain had now basically reached the Emperor Lord level, with formidable strength.
Ye Chen embraced them one by one. There were six others who came with Zhenyu Imperial Son and the group. The strongest among them had actually reached the Great Void Realm powerhouse level, two others had reached the Heaven-Mending realm quasi-powerhouse level, and the other three were all Sky-Connecting Supreme Ones.
However, their expressions were quite arrogant. Watching Ye Chen embrace them, they looked somewhat disdainful, standing with hands behind their backs.
Ye Chen looked at them. Zhenyu Imperial Son introduced: "Brother Ye, this is Chu Ya, this is Chu Xiangyu, and the others are all from the Wanxuan Chu Clan."
Chu Ya was an exceptionally beautiful woman who had also reached the Heaven-Mending realm. Unlike the others, she gave Ye Chen a friendly smile.
As for Chu Xiangyu, he was the sole Great Void Realm powerhouse, very powerful.
He and the other Chu Clan powerhouses didn't even nod at Ye Chen, directly ignoring him, frowning and saying: "To actually occupy such a weak continent fragment..."
His words carried contempt.
In his eyes, Star Net Continent was indeed weak.
Ye Chen slightly frowned. Zhenyu Imperial Son quickly transmitted: "Brother Ye, please forgive him. He's just like that. Moreover, he is a peerless powerhouse of the Wanxuan Chu Clan, not to be easily provoked."
The Wanxuan Chu Clan was a Supreme family of the Wanxuan Celestial Domain. Chu the Overlord King was a Supreme Realm Overlord who shook the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains.
Within the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains, besides Eternal Heavenly Races, Heavenly Venerate-level forces, and Great Venerable forces, the forces of Supreme Realm Overlords were the most powerful.
The Chu Clan was considered one of the top ten powers beneath the Heavenly Races in the Wanxuan Celestial Domain, extremely formidable.
Although Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others knew that Ye Chen had reached the Great Void Realm thirty thousand years ago at the Zhen Tian War God's ruins, the Chu Clan was a Taishang family, far more terrifying. They worried Ye Chen would offend the Chu Clan.
Ye Chen said, "Have you all been in the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm all these years?"
Zhenyu Imperial Son replied, "We've stayed in the Seventy-Two Pillar Realm for a hundred thousand years, but it's difficult to receive news from the outside world here. Especially recently, with the suspected emergence of the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate's legacy, cultivators from all directions have surged here like a rising wind and scudding clouds. What has happened outside?"
"Nothing much," Ye Chen shook his head. Since they were isolated from news, it was normal they didn't know he had become a Tai Zhen Supreme One.
Otherwise, how would a mere genius from a Taishang family dare speak to him like this? Even an ordinary Supreme Realm Overlord wouldn't dare.
After all, with the Heaven-Mending Clan's deliberate, covert dissemination, the world knew about the incident at Heaven-Mending City. Even a peerless Taishang King like Cang Tian Overlord had suffered a hidden loss before him and left with a darkened face.
As more and more powerful experts arrived one after another, some news from the outside gradually began to spread.
Upon learning that a Tai Zhen Supreme One had appeared at some unknown time in the outside world, even capable of contending with a Taishang King, Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others were instantly astonished.
"Heavens, is a Tai Zhen Supreme One that heaven-defying, able to kill a Supreme Realm Overlord?"
Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others were clearly extremely shocked.
Although Chu Xiangyu looked at them with mockery, he also revealed a look of yearning admiration for that Tai Zhen Supreme One. "You outsiders, how could you know the terror of a Tai Zhen Supreme One? That is an invincible expert capable of sweeping through the entire Tai Zhen Ranking. Although being able to kill a Supreme Realm Overlord is shocking, it's also within reason, for he is a great existence capable of rivaling a peerless Taishang King like Cang Tian Overlord."
"But his name is Ye Chen? Brother Ye, it's the same as yours!"
Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others looked at Ye Chen, but they didn't think it was him. Although the name was the same and also from the Heaven-Mending Domain, that Ye Chen was a Tai Zhen Supreme One, while this Ye Chen was only at the Great Void Realm.
Even though three hundred thousand years had passed, Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others didn't believe Ye Chen could cultivate to that level.
Mainly, many detailed messages from the outside hadn't accurately flowed here yet. Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others only knew that the person with the same name was a Tai Zhen Supreme One; other information wasn't detailed.
At the same time, related news arrived. According to observations, within a hundred years at most, the protective power outside Heavenly Net Mountain would completely dissipate.
Because Heavenly Net Mountain was currently protected by the residual Great Venerable power left behind by Heavenly Net Great Venerable, preventing anyone from the outside from entering, including Supreme Realm Overlords.
"A hundred years? Too slow!" Ye Chen stood on Starry Continent, gazing at Heavenly Net Mountain, which seemed close and occupied half the sky but was actually over ten billion li away.
He had a plan: directly break through the protective barrier formed by that residual power left by Heavenly Net Great Venerable and step into Heavenly Net Mountain.
Heavenly Net Mountain was, after all, a Great Venerable Mountain left behind by an ancient Great Venerable. Even without the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate's legacy, there should be a Great Venerable-level inheritance, which might be of some help to him.
Here, Chu Xiangyu sneered coldly. "So what if it's slow? With the protection of Great Venerable power, even after endless ages, though only a little remains now, it still cannot be broken."
An ancient Great Venerable—what a magnificent existence, second only to a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, called a flawed Heavenly Venerate.
Even if it was just a trace of residual power that had lasted over two Chaos Epochs, it was still enough to block the entry of many Supreme Realm Overlords.
Although Chu Xiangyu didn't know Ye Chen's cultivation, hearing he was a pure body cultivator, and being with Zhenyu Imperial Son, how strong could he be? Reaching the Heaven-Mending Realm would be impressive.
The other Chu Clan Supreme Ones also looked at Ye Chen with disdain.
Ye Chen merely swept a faint glance at him. With his status, there was no need to bother with such a junior.
Indeed, in the cultivation world, the strong were revered. Chu Xiangyu's age was even far greater than his, but in the cultivation world, he was merely a junior.
Boom—
Suddenly, the starry sky trembled, countless fragments shaking.
At this moment, a terrifying supreme expert crossed over from the outside, carrying boundless Dao aura.
In the dark starry sky, ten enormous suns abruptly appeared, each one incomparably huge, exceeding ten billion li, completely illuminating the entire starry sky of the Heavenly Net Pillar Realm.
"Such powerful aura! A Supreme Realm Overlord has arrived! It's actually Ten Suns Divine Heavenly Lord! I never expected a peerless overlord like him to come personally!"
On Starry Continent, the Wanxuan Chu Clan, Zhenyu Imperial Son, Martial God, and the others were all greatly shocked.
Especially Chu Xiangyu, his expression solemn, feeling the boundless, vast Dao might sweeping over like a tidal wave. Even though he was as strong as a Great Void Realm giant, before such a Supreme Realm Overlord, he was still as insignificant as dust.
That level, called Taishang, was truly too powerful.
"Ten Suns Divine Heavenly Lord is a legendary peerless overlord comparable to our ancestor. I never thought even such an overlord would come personally."
"Concerning the legendary Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate's legacy, even legendary Supreme Realm Overlords would be moved."
"Ten Suns Divine Heavenly Lord has come personally this time. Does he intend to personally attack Heavenly Net Mountain?"
The Chu Clan experts all watched with blazing eyes as the Supreme Realm Overlord arrived with ten suns, like a peerless Heavenly Venerate patrolling the world, his Taishang might making experts from all directions submit.
Those massive fragment continents trembled under the intense Taishang might; countless supreme figures across the heavens paled in comparison at this moment.
This was the might of Taishang!
On the endless fragment continents, countless world civilizations had naturally emerged. Because the Heavenly Net Pillar Realm was left behind by Heavenly Net Great Venerable, even if not comparable to a true Great Venerable-level power, it had still given birth to countless demonic path experts, including many demonic path Supreme Ones and demonic path giants. Yet before a Supreme Realm Overlord, they were still incomparably insignificant, trembling in fear.
On another side, another Supreme Realm Overlord arrived, his Taishang might vast and endless, equally astonishing.
That Taishang rode a primordial behemoth, his true appearance unclear, surrounded by endless Taishang Dao principles, but not inferior to Ten Suns Divine Heavenly Lord in the slightest. Wherever he passed, supreme experts from all sides had to bow in worship.
The primordial ancient beast beneath him opened its mouth and swallowed thousands of fragment continents into its belly, ignoring the endless terrified beings within those fragments kowtowing and begging for mercy. It directly formed a broad passage, forcefully stepping into the endless fragments, sitting alone in one area.
"Heavens! That's the legendary Heaven-Devouring Beast! This Taishang must be Hopeless Taishang, a generation's Taishang from the Asura Celestial Domain!"
"Hopeless Taishang is also a peerless overlord famous for endless ages!"
They saw another Supreme Realm Overlord, equally majestic and awe-inspiring.
Ye Chen raised his eyes to look, exclaiming in surprise. Wasn't this the Supreme Realm Overlord who had struck first during his tribulation?
At the same time, as if by unspoken agreement, Supreme Realm Overlords arrived one after another from the outside, all covering the sky and blotting out the sun, shaking the endless fragments as they descended.
Before long, a full twelve Taishang had arrived!
This was shocking, because Supreme Realm Overlords were considered extremely rare even across the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains. In any Eternal Celestial Domain, only a handful of domains had more Taishang than this number.
"Esteemed fellows, although there are still a hundred years before the Great Venerable protective power left by Heavenly Net Mountain dissipates, with the strength of us twelve Taishang, we are enough to blast open the Great Venerable protective power. Why not open it early to search for Heavenly Net Great Venerable's legacy, and perhaps even have a chance to obtain a Heavenly Venerate's inheritance? Otherwise, as time passes, other Taishang will arrive, even ranking Taishang Kings will come, and our opportunities will diminish!"
Ten Suns Divine Heavenly Lord spoke, his voice like rolling heavenly law, spreading across the endless fragment lands, causing the other Supreme Realm Overlords to nod.
Although they were all Taishang, a generation of overlords, they knew the gap between themselves and ranking Taishang Kings.
Those Taishang Kings truly stood above Taishang of the same realm; with their strength, they could hardly contend.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ten Suns Divine Heavenly Lord took the lead in attacking Heavenly Net Mountain. Ten enormous heavenly suns carried immeasurable might, drawing upon the endless rule power between heaven and earth, heavily bombarding the Great Venerable power protection outside Heavenly Net Mountain.
"Heavens! Is Ten Suns Divine Heavenly Lord going to forcibly break open Heavenly Net Mountain's Great Venerable protective barrier?" a Chu Clan Supreme One exclaimed.
Rumble—
Heaven-shaking and earth-shattering, as if destroying heaven and extinguishing earth, terrifying endless power crashed against the Great Venerable protective barrier.
Almost simultaneously, like Hopeless Taishang and the other eleven Supreme Realm Overlords, they all attacked at this moment. The terrifying, peerless twelve Supreme Realm Overlords simultaneously assaulted the Great Venerable protective barrier.
The heavens shook and the earth quaked; the entire Heavenly Net Pillar Realm trembled.
The Great Venerable protective barrier manifested, revealing dense, intricate rule divine patterns, even containing hidden Heavenly Venerate secret patterns—the protective power left behind by Heavenly Net Great Venerable in the past, all manifesting, resisting the assaulting power of the twelve Taishang.
Unbelievably, even with the synchronized assault of twelve Supreme Realm Overlords, displaying god-slaying, Buddha-slaying terrifying power enough to destroy a primordial universe, it was still blocked.
However, countless Great Venerable rule powers on the Great Venerable protective barrier were worn away, growing increasingly dim.
At the same time, as the twelve Taishang assaulted the Great Venerable protective barrier, terrifying void storms immediately spawned.
The endless void began to collapse. When the multicolored void storms swept through, they sent endless continent fragments flying away.
Starry Continent was also affected. At this time, Chu Xiangyu and the other Chu Clan members did not act to protect Starry Continent, causing countless people on Starry Continent to despair. Once that kind of stormswept over, Starry Continent simply couldn't withstand it and would be blasted to ashes in an instant.
Although Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others wanted to help, their strongest was only at the Heaven-Mending Realm quasi-giant level. Before Supreme Realm Overlords, they were as insignificant as dust; even the residual waves were absolutely not something they could withstand.
Suddenly, at this moment, they all saw Ye Chen standing on Starry Continent, motionless.
"Brother Ye!" Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others exclaimed in alarm. They hurriedly sent voice transmissions, urging Ye Chen to leave quickly.
Such destructive storms caused by Taishang assaults, even a tiny bit, were enough to cause themdevastating damage. With the slightest carelessness, they could die and have their Dao extinguished.
"Idiot," Chu Xiangyu revealed a trace of mockery.
Among the Wanxuan Chu Clan members, apart from that Chu Ya showing concern and urging Ye Chen to leave to protect himself, the others were extremely cold, even carrying a bit of ridicule, laughing at Ye Chen's overestimation of his abilities.
"Let's go!"
Chu Xiangyu shook his head, leading the other Wanxuan Chu Clan members to soar into the sky, not daring to contend with such void-destroying storms.
Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others gritted their teeth, naturally unwilling to abandon Ye Chen, all wanting to stay.
But Chu Xiangyu directly acted, using his Transcendent Realm power to grab them, snorting coldly, "Idiots. If you weren't part of my Chu Clan now, I wouldn't bother saving you fools."
Ignoring their struggles, he directly soared away, quickly disappearing from here.
Ye Chen glanced at the direction they left, seeing the despairing expressions of Zhenyu Imperial Son and the others, leaving them with a final faint smile. Then, he spoke calmly to the demonic path Supreme One on Starry Continent: "Since you gave me a place to stand, though not for long, I, Ye, never owe anyone. Consider this repaying your kindness."
Ye Chen's eyes suddenly blazed like two Heavenly Venerate suns. With a loud boom, he threw a punch forward.
Boom—
This punch seemed to have no trace of magical power, yet the endless destructive storm rolling towards them was instantly blasted into nothingness.
Moreover, the fist force didn't stop. It pierced through the endless long sky, clearly surpassing the assault of the twelve Taishang, landing on Heavenly Net Mountain's Great Venerable protective barrier.
Accompanied by a loud noise that shook the entire Heavenly Net Pillar Realm, that protective barrier, which even the forceful assault of twelve Taishang had only shaken without truly breaking open, was forcibly punched through, creating a massive hole billions of li wide.
Piercing through inside and out!
The whole world was shocked!
At this moment, Ye Chen bravely took action!
