As time passed, the situation of the All Heavens' struggle for supremacy grew increasingly intense. The strongest geniuses of the various Heavens' Epochs emerged one after another to contend for dominance, and numerous Heavenly Venerate ruins appeared, containing Heavenly Venerate legacies. The competition was so fierce it seemed the very heavens would collapse, a truly terrifying sight.
Soon, this was already a million years after Ye Chen's return to the Heavenly Throne.
Over these years, Qianxun, Ye Junlin, and the other children of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had campaigned on behalf of the Chaos Heaven Mansion, battling the strongest geniuses from all corners of the world and clashing with the strongest Heavenly Venerate descendants of the various Heavens' Epochs to seize the various Heavenly Venerate legacies.
Strangely, however, within each Heavenly Venerate legacy, there was always a faint, flickering figure, entering and exiting the major ruins.
At the same time, the movements of the Calamity Organization grew more frequent. More and more powerhouses were incited by the Calamity Organization, becoming Calamity Executors, seeking to push the Quantitative Calamity to descend further.
Soon, an entire epoch passed.
A full epoch caused the number of powerhouses in the Origin Land to increase sharply by a large margin. Even powerhouses at the Taishang level were born in multiple numbers.
This explosive increase in the number of powerhouses was almost equivalent to the accumulation of a large half of a Chaos Epoch in the past. Even the most prosperous Heavens' Epoch had never seen such a phenomenon.
However, everyone knew this was only the beginning.
Because many geniuses were just beginning to be born, especially in this era of boundless opportunities, where it was easier to rise to prominence.
...
Within the Chaos Heaven Hall.
Ye Chen was in quiet cultivation, reflecting on the hundreds of thousands of years since his reincarnation and rebirth—from his weak period in the Boundary Desert, to the Suppressing Prison Emperor Domain, the Southern Wilderness, the Boundless Realm, and even reaching the Heaven-Mending Realm, obtaining the Heaven-Mending Venerate's legacy, killing his way into the Seventy-Two Pillar Realms, entering the Extreme Demon Heavenly Realm...
Undoubtedly, the past hundreds of thousands of years, seemingly brief compared to other cultivators, had in reality exerted an immense influence on Ye Chen, completely confirming his path of 'the sea accepts all rivers, greatness lies in capacity' for attaining Eternity through the flesh body.
However, his reincarnated body's flesh physique had now reached the Taishang Venerable level, which could be said to have reached its limit with no further room for advancement. The next step was the moment of attaining the Dao through the flesh body.
Yet, the difficulty of attaining Eternity through the flesh body was such that even Ye Chen, who had cultivated his reincarnated physique to the Taishang Venerable level, had no confidence whatsoever.
Because it was too difficult, too arduous.
To advance from Taixu Venerable to Taizhen Venerable, he had relied on the Heaven-Mending Clan's origin source and essence blood.
To advance from Taizhen Venerable to Taishang Venerable, he had relied on the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate, the Calamity Heavenly Venerate, the Burial Heaven Abyss Lord, the Heavenly Net Great Venerable, and several other Supreme Heavenly Venerates and super Great Venerables to succeed.
Now, attaining Eternity through the flesh body far surpassed all previous challenges.
But he was not without methods.
Over these years, Ye Chen had sent his Taishang Venerable physique out to travel to one Heavenly Venerate ruin after another.
Since the Heaven-Mending Venerate and the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate had left corresponding traces, then other Supreme Heavenly Venerates should also have left some backup plans.
Ye Chen now knew he was not merely that key person in the Primal World, but the key person for the entire Origin Land.
The Heavenly Venerates of past and present had all seen this, each leaving their own methods, which should uniformly assist, helping Ye Chen attain Eternity through the flesh body, then merge the dual Heavenly Venerate fruits into one, becoming the third Heavenly Venerate King since ancient times!
Naturally, the harvest over this epoch had been great.
He had obtained the Heavenly Venerate true blood and origin source left by seven deceased Supreme Heavenly Venerates. But Ye Chen knew this was not enough, still insufficient for him to impact the Flesh Body Heavenly Venerate realm. He still needed to accumulate, needed more Heavenly Venerate true blood and origin source.
...
After the beginning of the second epoch, even more genius powerhouses surged forth, showing signs of a blowout.
With the help of countless legacies from ancient and modern supreme powerhouses, an unknown number of supreme beings were born, far exceeding the past, worthy of being called an unprecedented golden age epoch.
Even the Chaos Heaven Mansion now possessed over twenty Taishangs.
Undoubtedly, this was something no Eternal Heavenly Clan or Heavenly Venerate-level power had accumulated over endless eons. Perhaps only the most mysterious Primordial Chaos Palace possessed such strength.
But this era was special, jointly promoted by the various Heavenly Venerates, hence an unprecedented super era, even surpassing the Heavens' Epoch.
The various Heavenly Venerates intended, within these three epochs, to gather all resources to cultivate a condensed version of the Heavens' Epoch, allowing Heavenly Venerates to be born from it.
From the very beginning of the second epoch, even more Heavenly Venerate ruins emerged, attracting the competition of various Taishang Kings, including the strongest Heavenly Venerate descendants.
Even Hun Wuji and Huang Xu went to participate. Naturally, with their Taishang Venerable cultivation, they swept through their areas; only Great Venerables could contend with them.
Such individuals were already called Future Heavenly Venerates, their potential too strong. Barring accidents, they could all become Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
Precisely because of this, the Calamity Organization repeatedly launched interceptions and assassinations, absolutely not allowing the two to successfully attain the Heavenly Venerate Dao. Otherwise, the Origin Land gaining two more Supreme Heavenly Venerates would also be immense pressure for the Calamity Organization side.
However, those who could become Taishang Venerables were no simple individuals.
One was the Young Palace Master of the Primordial Chaos Palace, the personal disciple of the Heavenly Venerate King.
The other was the master of the Desolate Heavenly Venerate.
Neither was simple.
Their own combat power was at the Great Venerable level. For the Calamity Organization to want to kill them was as difficult as ascending to the blue heavens.
Instead, over these years, the Calamity Organization's failed assassination attempts resulted in many losses, with many powerhouses killed in turn—over ten Taishangs, and even three Calamity Executor Great Venerables were slain.
In one instance, a Supreme Heavenly Venerate had taken action, breaking through the heavenly secrets shielding applied by the Calamity Heavenly Venerate, finding their location, and instantly suppressing and killing over two Calamity Executor Great Venerables and seven Taishangs.
After this, the Calamity Organization suffered heavy losses, its arrogant momentum weakened considerably, not appearing for many millennia.
Unfortunately, however, the Origin Heavenly Venerates had never been able to find the location of the Calamity Heavenly Venerate. They themselves obscured the heavenly secrets, preventing even Supreme Heavenly Venerates from truly deducing it.
As for the third Taishang Venerable, no one dared provoke him, for he himself was the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
This Chaos Heavenly Emperor had repeatedly entered Heavenly Venerate ruin lands with his Taishang Venerable reincarnated physique. Although people ultimately succeeded in obtaining Heavenly Venerate legacies, for some reason, many felt the greatest Heavenly Venerate legacy was still obtained by the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
During their travels, the various geniuses of the Chaos Heaven Mansion also advanced by leaps and bounds. Figures like Qianxun and Ye Junlin directly entered the Taishang Rankings long ago, and later caught up, able to contend with the strongest Heavenly Venerate descendants without falling behind.
The Chaos Heaven Mansion grew increasingly prosperous and glorious.
...
The Second Epoch of the All Heavens Golden Age.
The All Heavens Golden Age was a title the various Heavenly Venerates tacitly approved for these future three epochs.
Because they placed great hopes, wishing for multiple Heavenly Venerates to be born within these three epochs, realizing an All Heavens Golden Age like the former Heavens' Epoch, hence directly calling it the All Heavens Golden Age.
In the second epoch of the All Heavens Golden Age, two people from the Chaos Heaven Mansion forcefully entered the Taishang Rankings.
One had golden blood qi illuminating the heavens, his battle might suppressing the firmament—he was none other than the Battle Saint Ancestor.
In the past, the Battle Saint Ancestor and his past life body, the Heaven-Defying Battle Lord, merged into one, becoming the Battle Ancestor.
But later, with Ye Chen's help, the two life bodies were separated again.
This was the Battle Ancestor's deliberate action.
In the endless eons past, the Battle Ancestor intentionally sought to become stronger, using the Heaven-Defying Battle Lord as a cocoon to metamorphose into this life body of the Battle Saint Ancestor.
However, the Heaven-Defying Battle Lord also had consciousness. Although he and the Battle Saint Ancestor were the same person, they were also two individuals.
Whether the Battle Saint Ancestor or the Heaven-Defying Battle Lord, both were Ye Chen's martial grandfathers and former comrades-in-arms of the Heavenly Emperor, so they naturally never lacked corresponding resources.
Having cultivated through the boundless resources of the All Heavens Golden Age, both had reached the Taishang realm. Moreover, both were leading figures of the Battle Dao. In the long epoch of contending with the ancient and modern Heavenly Venerate descendants of the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains, they later caught up, both reaching the Taishang King level.
Both were Battle Dao Taishang Kings. Once merged, their combat power would reach a new height, truly fearsome.
However, both the Battle Saint Ancestor and the Heaven-Defying Battle Lord were still in the Heavenly Venerate contention golden age, battling and tempering themselves against the supreme powers of the heavens, hoping one day both bodies could reach the Taishang Venerable level, then merge into one, impact the Supreme Heavenly Throne, and become the invincible Heavenly Venerate of the present era.
Naturally, the Chaos Heaven Mansion was not lacking in Taishang Kings. Tai Sheng Huang, Ye Chen's former master on the Chaos Path, was also such. Now that Ye Chen had succeeded in attaining the Heavenly Venerate Dao through Chaos, he naturally gave feedback to this former master.
With the help of a Chaos Heavenly Venerate who spared no effort in sharing insights on the Chaos Heavenly Dao, Tai Sheng Huang's comprehension of the Chaos Path advanced by leaps and bounds. He was now a fearsome Chaos Taishang King, unfathomably deep.
Additionally, the Space-Time Great Emperor had previously obtained the Endless Heavenly Venerate's opportunity, and his origins were not simple, being a former Great Venerable-level existence. Hence, he was now also a Taishang King, and an extremely fearsome Space-Time Taishang King at that, considered to have obtained the Endless Heavenly Venerate's legacy.
Unfortunately, other powerhouses from the Pangu Universe had not reached this step, including the Flame Emperor, who had only reached the Taizhen level.
This was already with the help of boundless resources, but wanting to become a Taishang was still far too difficult.
In the 1.33 millionth year of the second epoch of the All Heavens Golden Age.
The Heavenly Venerate ruins of the Samsara Heavenly Venerate emerged, instantly attracting the contention of many supreme powerhouses from across the world.
The Samsara Heavenly Venerate was one of the most mysterious Supreme Heavenly Venerates of ancient and modern times. Legends said he had a great relationship with the Ten Tribulations Heavenly Venerate.
Because both continuously reincarnated and were reborn, ultimately attaining the Supreme Heavenly Throne.
The emergence of the Samsara Heavenly Venerate's ruins stirred the winds and clouds, attracting an unknown number of supreme powerheads. Even Taishang Kings on the Taishang Rankings came in over a dozen, truly unprecedented.
But for such Taishang Kings, obtaining the legacy of any Supreme Heavenly Venerate meant a greater chance to achieve the Heavenly Throne and ascend to Heavenly Venerate before the Quantitative Calamity descended.
Naturally, the Chaos Heaven Mansion could not sit idly by.
Among them were Qianxun, Ye Junlin, the Battle Saint Ancestor, the Heaven-Defying Battle Lord, and others participating, battling various forces and supreme powerheads until the heavens collapsed and the earth split, rivers of blood flowed, countless great worlds were destroyed, and the Six Paths Heavenly Realm emerged.
The Six Paths Heavenly Realm, the legendary Eternal Heavenly Realm of the Samsara Heavenly Venerate, also called the Hell Realm, bore the six paths and was very special.
Naturally, Ye Chen also went, ignoring the many contending supreme powerheads, invisible to all.
His true body went, entering the deepest core of the Six Paths Heavenly Realm, meeting the imprint of the Samsara Heavenly Venerate from endless eons.
The two Supreme Heavenly Venerates met across endless time, yet it caused Ye Chen to rarely show a surprised expression, then he sighed deeply, "So that's how it is..."
The Samsara Heavenly Venerate smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, let us fight side by side again in the Quantitative Calamity!"
The Samsara Heavenly Venerate left his Heavenly Venerate origin source and true blood, which Ye Chen obtained.
He glanced at the various overlords contending below. Although a Heavenly Venerate, he did not interfere. This was also the tacit understanding among the various Heavenly Venerates.
Otherwise, if Heavenly Venerates personally intervened, how would other geniuses in the world have a chance to ascend to the Supreme Heavenly Throne?
At the same time, he silently glanced outside the Six Paths Heavenly Realm; other Supreme Heavenly Venerates were also silently watching.
Boom—
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying fluctuation transmitted from beyond the heavens.
Ye Chen raised his head, his gaze piercing through the endless void, landing beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.
There lay the seal of the thirty-four Supreme Heavenly Venerates of ancient and modern times. But on the other side of the seal existed a terrifying power sufficient to make even Supreme Heavenly Venerates' hearts palpitate.
He also saw many incredibly fearsome existences attacking the seal, constantly grinding away the sealing power of the thirty-four Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
Among them, Ye Chen saw a Calamity Heavenly Venerate manifesting beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, suddenly assaulting the seal, battling with the Immortal Heavenly Venerate.
"He actuallysparing no effort / not stinting to manifest!"
Ye Chen frowned.
As a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, over these years, he had repeatedly entered various Heavenly Venerate ruins, communicating with the imprints left by the Heavenly Venerates, naturally learning more secrets.
Over two Chaos Epochs ago, in the most glorious Heavens' Epoch, the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate and the Great God Pangu led the other Supreme Heavenly Venerates to seal the Quantitative Calamity, during which they had battled with the Calamity Heavenly Venerates who relied on the Quantitative Calamity to live to this era.
Back then, they had killed quite a few Calamity Heavenly Venerates.
Although Calamity Heavenly Venerates were also Heavenly Venerate level, they did not belong to this reincarnation era, unable to harmonize with this heaven and earth. Not only was their true combat power slightly weaker than contemporary Heavenly Venerates, but once they perished, they truly could not revive and return.
After the Heavens' Epoch, the various Heavenly Venerates applied the All Heavens Seal to the Quantitative Calamity. Naturally, some Calamity Heavenly Venerates escaped, hiding within the world, never found, let alone killed.
The Calamity Organization was basically organized by the Calamity Heavenly Venerates remaining in the world, silently growing, planning for the day to break the All Heavens Seal and descend the boundless Quantitative Calamity.
But it could be said the number of Calamity Heavenly Venerates was definitely fewer than the Heavenly Venerates in the world, and their strength also had a gap. Generally speaking, Calamity Heavenly Venerates absolutely dared not appear easily.
Hence, this surprised Ye Chen.
He took a step, arriving beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. He only saw the Immortal Heavenly Venerate manifesting an infinitely majestic Immortal Phoenix true body, a parasol tree vast enough to cover an Eternal Heavenly Domain planted in the void, absorbing the boundless energy of the Origin Land as he battled the Calamity Heavenly Venerate.
Naturally, Ye Chen would not stand idly by. He directly revived the Prison of Flames Tower, blasting it toward the Calamity Heavenly Venerate, and swung his peerless Chaos Heavenly Emperor Fist, killing over.
An ultimate heavenly battle erupted, but Ye Chen unfolded his Eternal Heavenly Realm, enveloping all sides, shielding everything.
He and the Immortal Heavenly Venerate killed toward that Calamity Heavenly Venerate.
Ye Chen saw at a glance this was not that Calamity Heavenly Venerate whose half Heavenly Venerate body he had severed back then. Clearly, the Calamity Organization had more than two or three Calamity Heavenly Venerates lurking within the Origin Land.
Recently, the Calamity Organization's movements had grown more frequent.
Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Calamity Heavenly Venerate retreated. Even with Ye Chen and the Immortal Heavenly Veneratejoined forces, they could not keep him.
After all,fellow Heavenly Venerates, who was much weaker than whom? All were supreme, invincible existences.
Even if not of this reincarnation era, no matter how inferior, the difference was not great.
Unless multiple Heavenly Venerates acted together could they be kept.
However, with Ye Chen and the Immortal Heavenly Veneratejoined forces, they still blasted apart half his Heavenly Venerate body, leaving behind a Heavenly Venerate leg, which the two separated.
A single hair of a Calamity Heavenly Venerate contained inconceivable power and also contained the heavenly rule Dao principles of past reincarnation eras, possessing considerable reference value.
At the same time, below, the Heavenly Venerate ruin land also erupted in a shocking great battle.
Many powerhouses were killed, and even two Taishang Kings perished.
It turned out Calamity Executors had appeared, also wanting to seize the Samsara Heavenly Venerate's legacy andeliminate a batch of Taishang Kings with Heavenly Venerate potential.
Calamity Executor Great Venerables personally appeared, coming in as many as five, causing terrible slaughter among the various geniuses of the Origin Land.
This point, the various Supreme Heavenly Venerates did not notice, because on one hand their attention was drawn by the Calamity Heavenly Venerate beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, and on the other hand, other Calamity Heavenly Venerates were also present,seal (blockade/seal) the heavenly secrets.
Precisely because of this, the Calamity Executor side found an opportunity, taking the chance to kill many supremely talented top powerhouses of the Origin Land.
The Chaos Heaven Mansion side—Qianxun, Ye Junlin, the Battle Saint Ancestor, the Heaven-Defying Battle Lord, Tai Sheng Huang, the Human Emperor, and others—were specially targeted by the Calamity Executors. Calamity Executor Great Venerables personally took action, causing them to bleed.
However, they were all Taishang Kings, with rich combat experience and Heavenly Venerate-level methods personally left by Ye Chen, so their lives were not in danger.
Moreover, they forcefully killed dozens of Calamity Executors, including several Calamity Executor Taishangs, achieving remarkable battle results.
Naturally, the Calamity Executors specially targeted them, with Calamity Executor Great Venerables personally taking action. However, the heavenly battle erupting beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens quickly ended. Ye Chen returned, and the Calamity Heavenly Venerate hiding nearby dared not expose himself, silently fleeing.
Otherwise, once he acted, although he could annihilate multiple Taishang Kings, he would inevitably alert other Heavenly Venerates in the world, leading to asurround and kill. That would be losing the wife andlosing the soldiers the soldiers.
The outcome of the Samsara Heavenly Venerate legacy came out.
Ultimately, it was still obtained by the Chaos Heaven Mansion, or more accurately, by the Human Emperor.
The Human Emperor was the reincarnated body of the Samsara Great Emperor. His dual life Dao fruits merged into one. Moreover, over these years in the Origin Land, he diligently cultivated within the Chaos Heaven Mansion, long reaching the Taishang realm.
Even more astonishing, during the contention for the Samsara Heavenly Venerate legacy, his true self awakened.
It turned out the Human Emperor was the Heavenly Venerate reincarnated body of the Samsara Heavenly Venerate. Moreover, during the Heavens' Epoch, his relationship with the Great God Pangu wasextraordinary.
The outside world did not know. After the Human Emperor's true self awakened, Ye Chenimmediately / the first moment escorted him, inviting him into the Chaos Heaven Hall to cultivate.
Not long after, the Heavenly Emperor also came, learning everything, conversing with the Human Emperor—the first conversation between the two Supreme Heavenly Venerates after over two epochs.
Now, although the Human Emperor's true self had awakened, like the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate, he had not completely returned to the Heavenly Throne. He needed a period of cultivation before he could return to the Heavenly Throne.
Naturally, once he returned to the Heavenly Throne, his usefulness to Ye Chen's side would be immense.
"The one from the Dragon Realm, the Extreme Demon Heavenly Venerate, and the Samsara Heavenly Venerate are all returning to the Heavenly Throne. Other deceased Heavenly Venerates should also return. To battle the Quantitative Calamity, they are needed."
"But if Heavenly Venerates can revive and return, then what about the Heavenly Venerate King, the Great God Pangu? He should also return to the Heavenly Throne..."
Ye Chen's gaze was profound as he gazed into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
...
Unknowingly, they reached the end of the second epoch of the All Heavens Golden Age.
This epoch saw a full thirteen Heavenly Venerate ruins appear, and two people successfully broke through to the Taishang Venerable level, both former strongest Taishang Kings, extremely powerful.
Ye Chen still had not succeeded in attaining Eternity through the flesh body. He was still on the path.
However, two epochs had passed, each epoch lasting billions of years. With Ye Chen's own cultivation as a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, plus the gifted origin source and essence blood from multiple Heavenly Venerates, over these years, on the path of attaining Eternity through the flesh body, he had grown increasingly unfathomable.
He was still a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, but Kunxu Great Venerable faintly felt he was stronger,seemed to slightly surpassing other Heavenly Venerates in the world.
On this day, within the Chaos Heaven Hall, a Heaven Mansion powerhouse came, respectfully performing a grand bow, saying, "Reporting to Your Majesty, no traces have been found."
This was already the end of the second epoch. A full two epochs had passed, far more than billions of years.
Back when Ye Chen reincarnated to cultivate his flesh body, he had issued orders to search for the traces of some people—such as the Primordial Beginning, the Immortal Ancestor, the Azure Heaven Great Emperor, the Yuan Yao God King, Zhao Chen, the Heaven's Gate Sect Master, and other old acquaintances.
Primordial Beginning and Immortal Ancestor were both great existences who could contend with the Heavenly Emperor in the Primordial Realm in the past, and were among the Five Great Taishang. However, ever since they left the Primordial Realm and entered the Origin Land, they had vanished without a trace.
Especially Primordial Beginning, this great hidden hand of the Primordial Realm who had secretly orchestrated the destruction of multiple epochs, had disappeared without a sound.
Over these years, with his status as a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, wanting to search for members of the Alien Race was naturally simple.
The Alien Race had already integrated into the Taiyuan Celestial Domain of the Origin Land, becoming a part of it. Over the years, they had manifested, and even members of the Maha Imperial Clan had appeared, clashing with his reincarnated body.
Now, the Alien Race was long since not worth mentioning to Ye Chen.
What was strange, however, was that while the Alien Race was right there in the Origin Land, Primordial Beginning had vanished.
It was as if he had completely disappeared from the world.
In truth, Ye Chen suspected that Primordial Beginning and Immortal Ancestor, like the Heavenly Emperor, were the reincarnations of certain Supreme Heavenly Venerates who had perished in the past, seeking to reclaim their Heavenly positions in this era.
Otherwise, how could they have vanished without a trace?
As for Yuanyao God King and Zhao Chen, it was strange. These two had displayed mysterious identities back in the Primordial Realm, always enigmatic and unfathomable.
As for the Azure Heaven Great Emperor, he had vanished without a trace along with the others from the Primordial Realm after leaving it. Ye Chen had been investigating all these years but found no trace.
It could be said that every hundred thousand years, someone would come to report related information.
Ye Chen nodded, indicating he already knew.
...
The Third Epoch began.
It had only been less than a hundred thousand years since its commencement when an unprecedented upheaval occurred beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.
An unprecedented tribulation manifested, directly covering the skies above the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains, even spreading towards the endless lands beyond them.
"This... is this the Quantitative Calamity?"
"Isn't there supposed to be one more epoch? Why has the Quantitative Calamity descended so soon after the Third Epoch just began?"
The people of the world trembled in fear!
This tribulation was too terrifying, unprecedented, as if it was about to annihilate the entire Thirty-Three Celestial Domains, causing even Taishang to shudder in horror, feeling as if they themselves could turn to ashes at any moment.
Within the Chaos Heaven Mansion, Qianxun, Ye Junlin, and others soared into the sky one after another, their expressions grim.
Had the Quantitative Calamity descended early?
Only Ye Chen and Kunxu Great Venerate remained calm.
Ye Chen said, "Do not panic. This is not the Quantitative Calamity."
"Not the Quantitative Calamity?" The experts of the Chaos Heaven Mansion were stunned. If it wasn't the Quantitative Calamity, why was it so terrifying?
Kunxu Great Venerate looked at the infinite tribulation light, revealing a trace of envy: "Indeed, it is not the Quantitative Calamity, but the Eternal Disaster Tribulation, also the Heavenly Venerate Tribulation. Someone is proving the Dao to become a Supreme Heavenly Venerate!"
The people of the world looked up, seeing only a figure of peerless grace standing tall amidst the endless tribulation light, surrounded by billions of layers of chaotic radiance, with the Dao of Time and Space encircling him, forcefully enduring the tribulation.
Hun Wuji, the direct disciple of Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate, the son of Endless Heavenly Venerate, was now undergoing tribulation, seeking to prove the Dao of Eternity!
The Heavenly Venerate Tribulation was endless, beyond imagination, surging out of the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains with an unstoppable momentum, affecting the endless lands of the outer domains.
However, it was mostly outside the domains.
Hun Wuji was undergoing tribulation. Now, he also sought to attain the position of Eternal Heavenly Venerate through the Chaos Great Dao.
Only, his Dao was somewhat different from Ye Chen's Dao.
"Is another Chaos Heavenly Venerate about to be born in the world? It seems the Chaos Great Dao is somewhat easier to walk than other Great Daos."
Many people speculated thus.
Undergoing the Heavenly Venerate Tribulation required an extremely long time, just as Ye Chen had in the past.
Although the external Heavenly Venerate Tribulation was terrifying, Hun Wuji had cultivated in the Taishang realm for endless years, not just two or three epochs. He had reached this level multiple epochs ago.
Moreover, with the personal guidance of Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate and the natural bestowal of sufficient resources from his Heavenly Father, Endless Heavenly Venerate, this Taishang Supreme's accumulation had reached an extremely terrifying height. It was precisely because of this that he dared to undergo the tribulation.
Infinite Heavenly Venerate Tribulation descended, submerging the endless lands beyond the heavens.
Although Hun Wuji was strong, capable of contending with ancient Great Venerates, he was blasted to pieces by the tribulation light time and again, yet he never perished. Each time he reassembled, he would become stronger by a notch.
However, the most terrifying part was not the external heavenly tribulation, but the internal one.
The Eternal Disaster Tribulation—the internal tribulation was far more dreadful.
Throughout the ages, how many peerless geniuses, not inferior to Heavenly Venerates in the slightest before proving the Dao, ultimately failed to become Heavenly Venerates and turned to ashes? It was precisely because of the internal Eternal Disaster Tribulation.
Boom—
On this day, the heavens shook and the earth quaked.
Upon the Origin Land, countless living beings looked up at the sky, seeing the originally boundless clear sky abruptly plunge into darkness.
Visible to the naked eye, a terrifying giant hand covering the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains stretched out from the deepest, most distant reaches of the firmament, containing unprecedented destructive power as it slapped towards Hun Wuji.
The Tribulation Executors had appeared, and it was a Calamity Heavenly Venerable! They absolutely would not permit the Origin Land to give birth to a new Supreme Heavenly Venerate. They directly attacked Hun Wuji, seeking to turn him to ashes during his tribulation.
Such events had occurred even in the most glorious era of the All Heavens Epoch, causing multiple supreme geniuses with the bearing of Heavenly Venerates to perish with regret.
Otherwise, during the peak period of the Origin Land, there might have been more than just thirty-three Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
Within the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains, Supreme Heavenly Venerates awoke one after another, snorting coldly as they looked towards the giant hand covering the boundless firmament.
Huang Heavenly Venerate was the first to act, throwing a punch that directly blasted through it. Blood light soared into the heavens as he coldly spat out, "Tribulation Executors, you bunch of cowards hiding your heads and tails, have you finally all appeared?"
"Truly worthy of being Huang Heavenly Venerate, who proved Eternity through the flesh body. Such an indestructible flesh body is truly terrifying. Even I am somewhat inferior."
At the highest point of the firmament, a majestic figure as tall as the heavens appeared. Billions of stars were as insignificant as dust before him. He looked down upon the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains; even Taishang were nothing worth mentioning in his presence.
That was a Calamity Heavenly Venerable, a supreme existence on equal footing with Supreme Heavenly Venerates, a Heavenly Venerate-level existence born in past reincarnation eras.
Now, manifesting in the mortal world.
Moreover, what made the people of the world shudder was that there was not just one. One after another, peerlessly majestic figures appeared.
A total of four Calamity Heavenly Venerables appeared!
Unbelievable!
No one had expected that within the Origin Land, four Calamity Heavenly Venerables actually existed.
Each Calamity Heavenly Venerable was a great existence capable of sitting as an equal with Supreme Heavenly Venerates. One alone was enough to pose a great threat to the Origin Land, let alone four.
They had hidden silently within the Origin Land for so long, only now manifesting to stop Hun Wuji from proving the Dao to become a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
However, what was fortunate was that although there were four Calamity Heavenly Venerables, the number of Supreme Heavenly Venerates on the side of the Origin Land was considerably greater than that of the Calamity Organization.
"However, Huang Heavenly Venerate, we will not permit the Origin Land to give birth to a new Heavenly Venerate. You alone cannot stop us."
The Calamity Heavenly Venerable who had first acted spoke coldly. His flesh body was inferior to Huang Heavenly Venerate's, but he feared him not. Both were at the Heavenly Venerate level. He directly manifested his Heavenly Venerate Domain, enveloping Huang Heavenly Venerate.
The other three Calamity Heavenly Venerables all charged towards Hun Wuji.
Ye Chen, the Heavenly Emperor, Endless Heavenly Venerate, Immortal Death Heavenly Venerate, and other Supreme Heavenly Venerates also manifested, blocking these three Calamity Heavenly Venerables, attacking Hun Wuji.
Even Heavenly Venerates like Wanxuan Heavenly Venerate, Asura Heavenly Venerate, and Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate, who had been adversaries in the past, stood with Ye Chen at this moment, protecting Hun Wuji, because they all understood the greater principles before the Quantitative Calamity.
The ultimate heavenly war erupted, surpassing all previous ones.
The various Heavenly Venerates acted together, seeking to kill all these Calamity Heavenly Venerables.
"Although your numbers are greater than ours, wanting to kill us is impossible. Heavenly Venerates do not die, Heavenly Venerates are immortal, Heavenly Venerates are indestructible!"
The Calamity Heavenly Venerables were cold and fearless, not leaving at all.
Their goal was simple: they wanted to cause Hun Wuji's tribulation to fail. They didn't necessarily have to kill him; as long as he could not successfully undergo the tribulation, that was the best result for them.
Because they did not care about Great Venerates.
Endless Heavenly Venerate sneered coldly: "You are all merely Heavenly Venerates from past reincarnation eras. In this reincarnation era, you cannot be eternally immortal. Now that you have manifested, you are doomed to perish!"
The Heavenly Venerate battlefield was right above the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains.
Hun Wuji was undergoing tribulation, while the various Heavenly Venerates battled fiercely here!
At that moment, silently, a fifth Calamity Heavenly Venerable manifested. He actually passed through the obstruction of the various Heavenly Venerates, entered the range of the heavenly tribulation, fearless of the tribulation, and unleashed a Heavenly Venerate forbidden strike.
A Heavenly Venerate forbidden strike was enough to completely annihilate anyone, utterly erasing them from the past, present, and future, obliterating them from causality, making them cease to exist completely.
This was the terrifying aspect of Heavenly Venerates.
The Calamity Heavenly Venerable struck, seeking to completely kill Hun Wuji, to make this future Heavenly Venerate, who was rising magnificently, completely perish.
Endless Heavenly Venerate's expression changed. He wanted to protect his son, but a Calamity Heavenly Venerable opposite him blocked him, saying coldly, "Endless, although your Time-Space Heavenly Dao is strong, this Heavenly Venerate can still block you for a period of time!"
Hun Wuji's body exploded. At this time, he had already passed more than half of the tribulation, not far from success. Yet, the strike of a Calamity Heavenly Venerable at this moment directly caused him to explode amidst the tribulation light.
However, even for a Heavenly Venerate to kill an ancient Great Venerate required a long time, let alone Hun Wuji, who was already at this level before undergoing tribulation. Having reached this step in the tribulation, he could be said to have half a foot in the Heavenly Venerate realm, with all aspects becoming who knows how many times stronger. His vitality was naturally even more powerful. He did not perish, only his aura plummeted by a large margin.
Hun Wuji survived, panting within the heavenly tribulation, also repairing himself, reassembling his form and spirit.
He looked coldly at that Calamity Heavenly Venerable, but he was helpless, because he was currently far from being a match for a Calamity Heavenly Venerable.
"Some capability, but still far from enough." That Calamity Heavenly Venerable said coldly, continuing to attack, forcefully charging into the heavenly tribulation, allowing the Heavenly Venerate Tribulation to fall upon his body.
Yet, this Heavenly Venerate Great Tribulation, enough to make even ancient Great Venerates tremble in fear, merely caused the Calamity Heavenly Venerable's body surface to explode, leaving superficial wounds, nothing more. He said coldly, "In the past, we all ascended through tribulation as supreme existences. This level of Heavenly Venerate Great Tribulation cannot cause us too much harm, unless it is the internal Eternal Disaster Tribulation!"
Indeed, within the Heavenly Venerate Great Tribulation, the most terrifying part was the internal Eternal Disaster Tribulation, not the external one.
All Heavenly Venerates had walked this path, and having undergone ultimate sublimation, all aspects were completely perfected, flawless and without leaks. This level of Heavenly Venerate Great Tribulation could hardly affect them much.
Thus, this Calamity Heavenly Venerable, within the Heavenly Venerate Great Tribulation, attacked Hun Wuji multiple times, causing Hun Wuji's form and spirit to be blasted apart repeatedly.
Boom—
At that moment, from Hun Wuji's soul, a heavenly seal magnificently rose, radiating peerless chaotic light that spread in all directions, blocking the attacks of this Calamity Heavenly Venerable.
"The Chaos Heavenly Seal!"
The various Calamity Heavenly Venerables' expressions changed. That was the Heavenly Venerate King weapon belonging to Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate, terrifying and peerless.
No one expected Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate to dote on this direct disciple so much, even going so far as to place the Chaos Heavenly Seal on Hun Wuji.
Protected by the Chaos Heavenly Seal, and with streams of Chaos Heavenly Dao power descending from the heavens, entering Hun Wuji's body, his injuries were instantly restored.
Moreover, what was even more astonishing was that the Eternal Disaster Tribulation within Hun Wuji's body was actually suppressed. This showed how terrifying an existence Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate was; his power could actually suppress the Eternal Disaster Tribulation.
"Truly worthy of being the Heavenly Venerate King of this era. Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate is truly powerful, having actually refined his own weapon into a Primordial Ancient Weapon. If he goes a step further, he will completely transcend." A Calamity Heavenly Venerable exclaimed in admiration.
Boom—
Suddenly, the Chaos Heavenly Seal was sent flying. That Calamity Heavenly Venerable revealed his true form—a human head with a serpent body, as if he were the embodiment of the 'Dao,' causing people to exclaim in surprise. It was actually the immortal existence from the reincarnation era before the last Quantitative Calamity—Dao Heavenly Venerate!
Dao Heavenly Venerate was extremely ancient, the strongest existence before the Quantitative Calamity, not inferior to the Supreme Heavenly Venerates of this era. Now, he looked coldly at the Chaos Heavenly Seal and said, "So what if it's Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate's Chaos Heavenly Seal? Even if Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate himself came, this Heavenly Venerate would fear him not."
He transformed into the true Dao, and in his hand, he grasped a Heaven-Slaying Weapon, radiating terrifying power no less than that of the Chaos Heavenly Seal. He broke through the protection of the Chaos Heavenly Seal, instantly striking into it, causing the various Heavenly Venerates to change expression: "A Heavenly Venerate King weapon!"
Clearly, Dao Heavenly Venerate possessed a Heavenly Venerate King weapon, and one from before the Quantitative Calamity at that, terrifying to the extreme.
"Indeed, you may call it a Heavenly Venerate King weapon. But for those of us who have experienced the Quantitative Calamity, it is called a Primordial Ancient Weapon, the strongest weapon that even the Quantitative Calamity could not destroy." Dao Heavenly Venerate said coldly.
Primordial Ancient Weapons—their origins were too great, existing eternally, more immortal than Heavenly Venerates, because they were existences even the Quantitative Calamity could not destroy.
Heavenly Venerate King weapon was the term used in this era, but for Calamity Heavenly Venerables, Primordial Ancient Weapon was the true name.
Primordial, immortal, indestructible!
Dao Heavenly Venerate, wielding the Primordial Ancient Weapon, instantly caused this Primordial Ancient Weapon to release a terrifying power that made even Heavenly Venerates change expression—Heaven-Slaying Power!
Heavenly Venerate Kings were the strongest existences capable of slaying Heavenly Venerates. As the weapons of such strongest existences, Primordial Ancient Weapons naturally contained Heaven-Slaying Power, capable of truly killing Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
Although Supreme Heavenly Venerates were all immortal and indestructible and would return, once this era passed, it would be impossible. They would surely perish.
After the Quantitative Calamity, everything in the world would be overturned, the rules of heaven and earth would be overturned and renewed, and Heavenly Venerates would inevitably vanish.
Ye Chen's expression changed. He could not allow Hun Wuji to be killed just like that. With a great roar, he immediately took out a giant axe—Pangu's Heaven-Opening Axe!
It was the true form transformed by the Universe Great Emperor. As the weapon of the Heavenly Venerate King, Pangu the Great God, it was naturally also at the Primordial Ancient Weapon level. It instantly cleaved the Calamity Heavenly Venerable blocking his path in two, blood spraying across the heavens.
Although this was an excellent opportunity to press the advantage and kill a Calamity Heavenly Venerate, wielding a Primordial Ancient Weapon and mastering Heaven-Slaying Power gave him the ability to slay a Heavenly Venerate.
But now, protecting Hun Wuji was more important.
He shot towards Hun Wuji like lightning, and at the same time, swung the Heaven-Opening Axe, forcefully cleaving towards Dao Heavenly Venerate.
"The second Primordial Ancient Weapon of the Origin Land is actually in the hands of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor?" Several Calamity Heavenly Venerables were stunned, but quickly regained their composure. The Chaos Heavenly Emperor had emerged from the Primordial Realm, and the Primordial Realm was the heaven and earth reopened by Pangu the Great God, so it was not surprising for it to be in his hands.
Boom—
However, Ye Chen was blocked. Another Calamity Heavenly Venerable actually also possessed a Primordial Ancient Weapon, blocking Ye Chen's attack. Heaven-Slaying Power surged as he said indifferently, "Chaos Heavenly Emperor, you cannot leave!"
At that moment, the Chaos Heavenly Seal was blasted open. Dao Heavenly Venerate struck with the Primordial Ancient Weapon. With a tremendous boom, the immeasurable Heavenly Venerate Tribulation was cleaved in two.
Hun Wuji exploded with a bang, completely turning to ashes.
With a single strike, Hun Wuji, this quasi-Heavenly Venerate with ultimate potential, was completely killed.
Heaven and earth mourned!
"No!"
Endless Heavenly Venerate's expression changed. Huang Heavenly Venerate's expression also changed greatly. With a great roar, he sent the opposing Calamity Heavenly Venerable flying, then turned and returned to Hun Wuji's location.
Dao Heavenly Venerate swung the Primordial Ancient Weapon, attacking Huang Heavenly Venerate.
"Scram!"
Huang Heavenly Venerate roared angrily, throwing a punch horizontally, erupting with the eternal, immortal Heavenly Dao power unique to him.
Boom—
Blood light splattered. Even someone as strong as Huang Heavenly Venerate bled, his fist shattered by the Primordial Ancient Weapon, but he reassembled in an instant.
Dao Heavenly Venerate's figure also shook violently. He looked deeply at Huang Heavenly Venerate and exclaimed in admiration, "Truly worthy of being a Heavenly Venerate who proved Eternity through the flesh body. Huang, your flesh body is truly strong. The suppression of Primordial Ancient Weapons against flesh body Heavenly Venerates like you is even lesser."
Huang Heavenly Venerate paid no heed. He stood tall in this expanse of starry sky, while behind him, Endless Heavenly Venerate unleashed the Time-Space Heavenly Dao, seeking to reverse the starry sky of this star domain, to allow Hun Wuji to be revived.
Everything was reversing and flowing backwards. Endless Heavenly Venerate was too powerful, reversing time and space. Only a controller of the Time-Space Heavenly Dao like him could do this.
But Dao Heavenly Venerate said coldly, "Useless."
Boom—
Within the reversed time and space, Dao Heavenly Venerate's figure appeared. Moreover, the Primordial Ancient Weapon erupted with terrifying Heaven-Slaying Power, slashing towards Endless Heavenly Venerate, causing the Time-Space Heavenly Dao to be unable to maintain stability, rapidly collapsing.
"Annihilate!"
Endless Heavenly Venerate, Huang Heavenly Venerate, Ye Chen, the Heavenly Emperor, and other Supreme Heavenly Venerates in the world struck, destroying Dao Heavenly Venerate's figure within the reversed time and space.
In the end, only Hun Wuji's figure remained.
Endless Heavenly Venerate acted, seeking to bring out Hun Wuji who existed in the past. The Time-Space Heavenly Dao erupted completely, shaking the ancient and dazzling the present.
Naturally, Dao Heavenly Venerate and the others would not permit this future Heavenly Venerate, Hun Wuji, to be reborn. The seven Calamity Heavenly Venerables all attacked.
But Ye Chen and the other Supreme Heavenly Venerates of the Origin Land also acted,disintegrateing the attacks of the Calamity Heavenly Venerables.
Ye Chen even swung the Heaven-Opening Axe, actively engaging Dao Heavenly Venerate in combat.
On the other side, Huang Heavenly Venerate also took over the Chaos Heavenly Seal, this Primordial Ancient Weapon, and charged amongst the Calamity Heavenly Venerables.
The Heavenly Emperor, Immortal Death Heavenly Venerate, Asura Heavenly Venerate, Wanxuan Heavenly Venerate, Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate, and other Supreme Heavenly Venerates also acted, united against a common enemy at this moment.
In the end, all five Calamity Heavenly Venerables left, bloodied and severely wounded.
However, not a single Calamity Heavenly Venerable was left behind, because they wielded Primordial Ancient Weapons and intentionally targeted Hun Wuji. They also attacked in various places, assaulting the Eternal Heaven Clan and Heavenly Venerate-level forces,scattering their attention, thus shifting focus and ultimately leaving.
"A pity. We failed to keep even one." Ye Chen frowned. Under such an excellent opportunity, with so many Supreme Heavenly Venerates, they actually failed to keep a single Calamity Heavenly Venerable.
Logically, this was impossible, but now it was so.
The strength of these Calamity Heavenly Venerables was more terrifying than imagined.
At this time, Endless Heavenly Venerate was reversing time and space.
In the unseen, an unparalleled destructive force acted upon Hun Wuji, even causing Supreme Heavenly Venerables to change expression.
"The power of causality. Hun Wuji wants to revive, but heaven and earth do not permit it. It is equivalent to reversing the rules of the world,not allowed by heaven and earth!"
The Heavenly Emperor said solemnly.
Endless Heavenly Venerate's body erupted with the most terrifying power, bearing the unseen power of causality. His figure shook violently, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Even his Heavenly Venerate body developed terrifying cracks, as if about to explode.
Boom—
The next moment, Endless Heavenly Venerate exploded, but reassembled in an instant.
However, his aura plummeted by a large margin.
That was the power of causality, especially with the influence of the Primordial Ancient Weapon, making it even more terrifying. Even Endless Heavenly Venerate could not completely reverse it successfully, and he paid a great price.
At the same time, Huang Heavenly Venerate returned after repelling the external enemies. Wielding the Chaos Heavenly Seal, he entered the annihilated past time and space.
Finally, after an unknown length of time, the two Supreme Heavenly Venerables brought Hun Wuji out.
At this moment, Hun Wuji's aura was incredibly powerful, akin to a Great Venerate's, but he was in a deep slumber.
Endless Heavenly Venerate looked at Endless Heavenly Venerate and asked, "How is he?"
Endless Heavenly Venerate's complexion was pale; even someone as powerful as him was in such a state, which spoke volumes about the price he had paid. He said gravely, "Although we reversed time and brought him back, he has been greatly affected. His true spirit is dormant."
The expressions of the various Heavenly Venerables darkened. Hun Wuji, a peerless genius with immense hope of success, had ended up in such a state, even though he had been retrieved through temporal reversal.
Given the current situation, he would most likely fail in his path to the Dao, his Heavenly Dao incomplete, with no hope of attaining a truly perfect Heavenly Position. He could only become a Great Venerate.
Undoubtedly, the blow was immense.
"Fellow Daoists, I shall take my young son and leave first. Please forgive my discourtesy," Endless Heavenly Venerate said.
"Of course!"
In the end, Endless Heavenly Venerate left with Hun Wuji, and Huang Heavenly Venerate followed. Both headed for the Primordial Chaos Palace.
If there was anyone in the world with the greatest hope of reversing this situation, it was Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate, the King of Heavenly Venerables.
The news spread, causing a massive uproar.
Hun Wuji, the future Heavenly Venerate, had been ambushed and killed by Calamity Heavenly Venerables—as many as five of them—leading to his failed tribulation. He was now in a dormant state and might never awaken.
It must be known that Hun Wuji's status was extremely noble. Not only was he the strongest descendant of a Heavenly Venerate, but also the direct disciple of the King of Heavenly Venerables, and a Taishang Supreme. With all these halos upon him, becoming a Supreme Heavenly Venerate was almost inevitable. Yet, in the end, he had suffered such a sudden calamity.
"Damn it, the Calamity Organization is too despicable."
"If not for the Calamity Organization's intervention, Hun Wuji would have certainly succeeded in attaining the Dao!"
"Hun Wuji must endure and awaken, to attain the Dao once more!"
"Impossible. Even the combined efforts of the various Heavenly Venerables couldn't save him. It's said that not only did the true forms of the Calamity Heavenly Venerables manifest, but they also used the most terrifying weapon of all ages—the Primordial Ancient Weapon, which is the weapon of a King of Heavenly Venerables!"
"The Primordial Ancient Weapon, the strongest weapon that has endured countless calamities throughout history, remaining indestructible and eternal. In this era, only the Chaos Heavenly Seal and the Heaven-Opening Axe, the two weapons of Kings of Heavenly Venerables, can compare. It is said they possess the power to slay the heavens, capable of killing Heavenly Venerables, utterly terrifying."
"If not for that, the Calamity Organization would have found it extremely difficult to kill Hun Wuji under the protection of the various Heavenly Venerables!"
The people of the world all sighed. Hun Wuji was an immensely renowned Taishang Supreme, with great hope of becoming a new Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Yet, in the end, he had fallen to such a state, evoking sighs and lamentations.
On the other hand, the actions of the Calamity Organization also caused widespread panic among the people.
Look, even a figure like Hun Wuji had met with sudden disaster. How could others still hope to attain the Supreme Heavenly Venerate?
For a time, hearts were filled with fear and anxiety.
After this incident, the Calamity Organization abruptly vanished without a trace.
Chaos Heaven Mansion, Chaos Heaven Hall.
Ye Chen sat high upon the Heavenly Throne. Regarding everything that had happened to Hun Wuji, those close to him like Qian Xun and Ye Junlin naturally knew. They now looked at Ye Chen with concern and said, "Father, can we still attain Eternity in the future?"
Ye Chen looked at these children of his with extraordinary talent. Even they, as descendants of Heavenly Venerables, harbored such worries, let alone others.
He deeply felt the immense impact brought about by the Calamity Organization's intervention this time.
Ye Chen said, "You need not worry excessively. In this epoch, simply strive to attain the Dao. As for these tribulation-bringers of the Calamity Organization, your father will resolve them as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the group showed astonishment, then looked at Ye Chen with pleasant surprise. "Father, you—"
"That's right. Your father is about to attain the Dao."
Time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, another hundred thousand years passed.
Because of the incident with Hun Wuji, the world grew even more panicked. However, for many others, it brought even greater motivation.
For they knew that even Hun Wuji could meet with misfortune. Only by becoming a true Heavenly Venerate could one be invincible and sweep away all enemies.
Another hundred million years passed silently.
A hundred million years was not considered a very long time for an epoch.
Naturally, the world saw another eruption of countless supreme experts.
There were even Heavenly Venerables who returned to their Heavenly Positions, influencing the current era.
The Origin Land grew even stronger.
Yet, it was a pity. A hundred million years had passed, and still no one had succeeded in becoming a Heavenly Venerate. No one even attempted to impact the Heavenly Venerate realm, for all felt their accumulation was insufficient, and they desperately cultivated to build it up.
Many also looked towards the Desolate Heaven Domain, for Desolate Ruins, this Taishang Supreme, had delayed attaining the Dao for so long, which was surprising. Was he afraid of the Calamity Organization's intervention, not daring to attempt the Dao?
On this day, the heavens and earth changed color.
Winds rose and clouds surged. The tribulation light from a hundred million years ago reappeared.
The whole world watched, countless people lifting their heads to gaze at the brilliant, sky-shrouding sea of tribulation light and thunder.
Had someone finally attempted to impact the Heavenly Venerate realm?
Who could it be?
Many were curious. Was it Desolate Ruins, or another newly ascended Taishang Supreme?
Over the past two epochs, a total of five Taishang Supremes had been born, all with great hope of successfully attaining the Heavenly Venerate Dao.
"The source of this Heavenly Tribulation is—"
The next moment, when everyone saw the source location of the Heavenly Venerate Tribulation, they collectively drew in a sharp breath, their eyes wide with shock.
For that location was none other than the Chaos Heaven Domain.
Yes, it was precisely the Chaos Heaven Domain.
They saw a pillar of light, like a colossal pillar supporting the heavens, standing tall between heaven and earth from the Chaos Heaven Mansion, piercing through layers of tribulation light.
A majestic figure directly ascended between heaven and earth.
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor!"
"Isn't Chaos Heavenly Emperor already a Supreme Heavenly Venerate? Is he undergoing tribulation again?"
"Can someone attain the Supreme Heavenly Venerate Dao Fruit twice?"
"No, have you all forgotten? Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate and the Great God Pangu—aren't they also said to have attained the Heavenly Venerate Fruit twice in legends?"
"Could it be that Chaos Heavenly Emperor intends to attain the King of Heavenly Venerables?"
The whole world was shaken with terror!
At this moment, the entire world focused on the direction of the Chaos Heaven Mansion. Even the Supreme Heavenly Venerables were startled, all looking in that direction, utterly shocked.
For, just as the people thought, Chaos Heavenly Emperor had already attained the Chaos Heavenly Dao. Now, attempting to attain the Heavenly Venerate Fruit again—was he not aiming to impact the King of Heavenly Venerables?
Boom—
An unparalleled Heavenly Venerate Tribulation abruptly appeared, manifesting above the Chaos Heaven Domain, boundless and endless, covering the Thirty-Three Heavens and rapidly spreading beyond them.
It was like the Heavenly Venerate Great Tribulation when Hun Wuji impacted the Heavenly Position three million years ago.
Ye Chen charged into the tribulation light, directly unleashing his Heavenly Venerate cultivation, swallowing the infinite Heavenly Venerate Great Tribulation and drawing it into his body, transforming it into boundless divine power.
He had long since become a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, possessing solid Heavenly Venerate cultivation. Although this physical body's tribulation for attaining eternal Heavenly Venerate was terrifying, at the very least, it couldn't affect him much in the early stages.
"Damn it! Chaos Heavenly Emperor is actually undergoing the tribulation for a Physical Body Heavenly Venerate. When did he cultivate his physical body to this level?"
"It's only been a little over two epochs, and Chaos Heavenly Emperor is already undergoing tribulation again to attain the Heavenly Venerate Fruit, and it's the Physical Body Heavenly Venerate Fruit at that. Once he succeeds, won't he possess dual Heavenly Venerate Fruits, just like Primordial Beginning and Pangu with their dual form and spirit Heavenly Venerates? At that time, he will undoubtedly be the unparalleled King of Heavenly Venerables throughout eternity, posing too great a threat to us!"
"We must stop him from succeeding!"
The Calamity Organization had always been closely monitoring worldly affairs. They hid within the world, silent and undetectable. Even the Heavenly Venerates in the world couldn't sense their existence, for they themselves could obscure heavenly secrets, making them untraceable.
Now, Chaos Heavenly Emperor was undergoing the tribulation for a Physical Body Heavenly Venerate, aiming to become the King of Heavenly Venerables. No matter what, the Calamity Organization could not allow it.
One Calamity Heavenly Venerate after another manifested in the current era,sparing no effort / not stinting exposing themselves, to attack Ye Chen.
In the blink of an eye, three Calamity Heavenly Venerables appeared, jointly charging to kill Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's physical body was peerless, his physique unimaginably terrifying. Even as the Heavenly Venerate Great Tribulation descended, it could hardly harm him in the slightest. Instead, he devoured immeasurable tribulation light.
His tiger-like frame stood majestically within the tribulation light, unafraid of the appearance of the three Calamity Heavenly Venerables. With a long roar, the Chaos Great Cauldron appeared on his left and the Prison Tower on his right. The two Ancient Heavenly Venerate Weapons fully awakened, erupting with boundless heavenly might to block the three Calamity Heavenly Venerables.
Boom—
The three Calamity Heavenly Venerables attacked together, truly capable of killing gods and slaying buddhas, unstoppable.
The Chaos Great Cauldron and the Prison Tower were soon sent flying, unable to hold them back.
The three Calamity Heavenly Venerables charged in together.
At this moment, Ye Chen's hand held the Heaven-Opening Axe, this Primordial Ancient Weapon, and he swung it at the foremost Calamity Heavenly Venerate.
Squelch—
Blood light boiled. No matter how strong that Calamity Heavenly Venerate was, he could hardly withstand the assault of a Primordial Ancient Weapon, especially one wielded by a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, possessing true heaven-slaying power.
However, it was impossible to kill that Calamity Heavenly Venerate in a single encounter. The other two Calamity Heavenly Venerables arrived in an instant, attacking with Ancient Heavenly Venerate Weapons, aiming for Ye Chen's face.
Ye Chen let out a long roar. The Chaos Heavenly Dao erupted, chaotic heavenly light surging. Infinite rules of the Chaos Heavenly Dao evolved into a Chaos Heavenly Realm to block them, while the Sealing Gate and the Cosmic Tower also materialized.
Boom—
The ten-layered Sealing Gate and the Cosmic Tower stood before him as shields, but in an instant, they were sent flying and torn apart by the two Calamity Heavenly Venerables.
After all, they weren't true Ancient Heavenly Venerate Weapons. Moreover, the two Calamity Heavenly Venerables had mobilized their most powerful forbidden forces to deal with Ye Chen.
Taking advantage of the slight delay caused by the two ancient weapons, Ye Chen, wielding the Heaven-Opening Axe, swung it again at the two Calamity Heavenly Venerables.
Blood light flashed. Both Calamity Heavenly Venerables suffered heavy injuries, cleaved with huge wounds, their heavenly blood sprinkling down.
As Ye Chen intended to press the pursuit, an annihilative force abruptly bloomed from within his body.
The Eternal Catastrophe!
At this critical moment, it suddenly appeared, hindering Ye Chen from further pursuit.
The three Calamity Heavenly Venerables instantly recovered from their injuries. Naturally, they understood Ye Chen's current condition and knew this was a prime opportunity to press their advantage. They directly charged forward to attack.
Sword light blossomed!
Heavenly Emperor appeared, holding the Heavenly Emperor Sword. A single sword's light chilled and illuminated all heavens!
He had come to aid Ye Chen.
Huang Heavenly Venerate also appeared, his majestic Heavenly Venerate body shining with immortal light. His own body was the strongest Heavenly Venerate weapon. He forcefully attacked, fearless of all Heavenly Venerate assaults, blocking them all.
The appearance of the two Supreme Heavenly Venerables blocked the three Calamity Heavenly Venerables for him.
Ye Chen was undergoing tribulation, enduring the internal eruption of the Eternal Catastrophe. His physical body was undergoing transformation. Having obtained the legacies of various Heavenly Venerates from the major Heavenly Venerate ruins, he was fusing various Heavenly Venerate sources and true blood. His physical body was undergoing the smelting of the sources of multiple Heavenly Venerates, his fleshly body encompassing all things, undergoing an unprecedented, tremendous transformation.
His muscles and skin were radiating brilliant light. He even withstood the Eternal Catastrophe within his body by sheer force. On one hand, there was destruction; on the other, there was also rebirth.
Death and rebirth coexisted.
This process was the very process of attaining the Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Naturally, the Calamity Organization would not allow the birth of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, let alone the birth of a King of Heavenly Venerables. Therefore, other Calamity Heavenly Venerables lurking in the world now rushed over to attack Ye Chen.
In the blink of an eye, a total of eight Calamity Heavenly Venerables manifested in the current era one after another. Such a number of Calamity Heavenly Venerables was unheard of, shocking the human world.
Within the Calamity Organization, had the number of Heavenly Venerables actually reached such a level?
It must be known that even in the Origin Land, the number of Heavenly Venerates in the world was only a scant dozen or so.
This shouldn't be the case.
"The number of Calamity Heavenly Venerables has actually reached this point? Impossible. Back when they invaded the Origin Land, the Calamity Heavenly Venerables were basically all expelled. Even if a few remained, five would be the maximum. Moreover, they would have to hide constantly to avoid leaking heavenly secrets and being found and killed by the Heavenly Venerates in the world."
All sides were shocked. The number of Calamity Heavenly Venerables truly exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Unless there are Calamity Heavenly Venerables hiding within the Eternal Heavenly Realms of the Supreme Heavenly Venerates in the world, they could completely avoid detection."
Suddenly, someone thought of a terrifying possibility.
While enduring the internal eruption of the Eternal Catastrophe, Ye Chen swept his gaze over the eight Calamity Heavenly Venerables coming to besiege him and said sternly, "I never expected that to deal with me, the Calamity Organization would send out all its Heavenly Venerate figures. I'm afraid all the Calamity Heavenly Venerables are here."
The ultimate heavenly battle erupted. The eight Calamity Heavenly Venerables charged, attacking together. Their combined force was enough to annihilate the Thirty-Three Heavens and cause unprecedented, massive destruction to the entire Origin Land.
Naturally, Ye Chen did not wish to bring calamity upon all living beings because of himself. He tore through space, instantly appearing in the endless void.
He underwent tribulation here. The eight Calamity Heavenly Venerables naturally appeared as well. At the same time, Heavenly Emperor, Endless Heavenly Venerate, Huang Heavenly Venerate, Purple Extreme Heavenly Venerate, and other Supreme Heavenly Venerates appeared one after another.
A total of four Supreme Heavenly Venerates appeared, guarding around Ye Chen, aiding him as his physical body underwent tribulation to attain the Heavenly Venerate position!
Boom—
The ultimate heavenly battle erupted, terrifying beyond compare. Moreover, with over a dozen Heavenly Venerates engaged in fierce combat, it was even more horrifyingly boundless.
"Where are Wanxuan, Taiyuan, Ancient Nether, Asura, Ten Directions, and the others?" Endless Heavenly Venerate's expression darkened. Although their side also had several Supreme Heavenly Venerates, to deal with Ye Chen and prevent him from becoming the King of Heavenly Venerables, the appearance of the Calamity Organization's eight Calamity Heavenly Venerables would definitely be able to break through their blockade. Ye Chen was in grave danger.
Furthermore, they would undoubtedly be wielding heaven-slaying great weapons like the Primordial Ancient Weapon!
At this time, more Supreme Heavenly Venerates were needed to come out and block them.
