One after another, Great Dao divine marks appeared, each representing a different Great Dao. They were the essence of the Dao comprehended over the lifetimes of thousands of Transformation Spirit experts, now manifesting as Dao marks.
These Dao marks were scattered throughout the void in all directions, interwoven with each other, shining brilliantly.
Tens of thousands of Dao marks—it was astonishing.
But in the next moment, something even more shocking occurred—
With a single Dao shout from the Battle Saint King, the thousands upon thousands of Dao marks moved, suddenly colliding with each other. They exploded with infinite destructive power, causing this stretch of heaven and earth to completely shatter and disintegrate.
That's right. Ye Chen intended to accomplish a world-shaking feat, something even he had never completed in his previous life due to a lack of the necessary conditions.
But in this life, he felt he had the ability and the confidence.
The collision of the Ten Thousand Daos unleashed a destructive force that shook the world, surpassing everything. Even the vast sea of tribulation light and thunder was obliterated over a large area at this moment. The nine Heaven's Avatars were too close and couldn't avoid it in time; they were swept up by the chaos and annihilated.
The Thunder Gate blazed with thunderous light. The nine Heaven's Avatars that had emerged were the power source of the Heaven's Avatars.
As long as the Thunder Gate remained unbroken, it signified the Heaven's Avatars were eternally indestructible.
But the power of the Ten Thousand Daos colliding was too terrifying, something this world simply could not withstand. This vast region was completely emptied; the void ceased to exist, and chaos manifested.
The force of the collision was too intense and dreadful. Ripples of chaos, visible to the naked eye and carrying destructive fluctuations, spread out like lightning.
Wherever the ripples of chaos passed, all space completely collapsed and disintegrated. Even the defensive light barrier personally laid down by the Heavenly Gate's Gate Master flickered violently, nearly shattering.
"The Ten Thousand Daos collide, chaos begins to appear. Could it be the Battle Saint King intends to evolve that legendary, peerless Great Dao that belongs only to myth?" An old monster couldn't help but exclaim in horror.
Chaos was the source of all creation in Heaven and Earth Creation. Only with chaos could one create heaven and earth, transform it into a world, and give birth to all living beings.
Yet, chaos was also the endpoint of all things. The destruction of all heavens, earths, and worlds would be reborn and transformed back into chaos.
It was both the source of all things and their endpoint. Seemingly contradictory, yet it existed perfectly in this world.
This could also be considered a special kind of reincarnation!
At this moment, even a certain reclusive Heavenly King from within the Heavenly Gate appeared. Gazing at the chaotic mist, even someone as powerful as him couldn't suppress his astonishment and frown. For he was a Heavenly King, an existence that had walked far on the cultivation path, widely experienced and well-read in ancient texts, even privy to some secrets from distant eras.
He understood that the Great Dao Ye Chen sought to evolve was the Chaos Great Dao.
A Great Dao that belonged only to myth and legend, one that no one had ever succeeded in!
The Chaos Great Dao seemed supremely lofty, yet it did not exist in this world. It was an ultimate Great Dao fundamentally impossible for humans to master.
Throughout the myriad domains of the heavens, even in the most glorious and prosperous Mythical Era, no one had succeeded.
Because it was too difficult, surpassing all other Great Daos in the world.
It was rumored that even the Emperors and Sovereigns of the Mythical Era, when creating their own Great Daos before attaining their titles, had not succeeded.
Ancient texts also recorded that a Human Emperor from the ancient era once mentioned the Chaos Great Dao, stating that this path could not succeed. From ancient times to the present, no one had truly succeeded. It was a path of no return.
Boom—
The terrifying world-ending power descended instantly, immediately triggering the most dreadful power of chaos. Mist surged and billowed, obscuring everything, reducing all to emptiness.
The power of chaos was the origin of all things between heaven and earth, beginning from the Primordial Chaos, existing even before Heaven and Earth Creation.
Such power surpassed all others. Even the mighty Battle Saint Body, the indestructible golden physique, a body comparable to a Heavenly King's treasure physique, could not withstand it. It was smashed to pieces.
Clearly visible, his Saint Body was instantly smashed to pieces, flesh and blood splattering. The golden flesh and blood radiated brilliant light, drawing everyone's gaze.
Many experts even had their eyes light up intensely, for this flesh and blood contained extremely powerful divine energy. Even a single drop of blood could be used to refine a precious pill, boost vitality, or even extend lifespan.
This was the primordial power of the chaotic energy refined from the fusion of the Ten Thousand Daos. Even a Heavenly King would find it difficult to master, which spoke volumes.
Naturally, Ye Chen had not perished. The Saint Body Regeneration Art was operating, and within his body was the Dragon Source, supplemented by his Saint Body origin, rapidly reconstructing his invincible golden physique.
Moreover, he controlled the myriad Dao marks, using the chaotic energy as a foundation to quickly construct a Chaos Cauldron Furnace. It was quite crude, with hazy gray chaotic energy swirling and flowing around it, the Ten Thousand Daos faintly discernible.
Ye Chen himself charged into the Chaos Cauldron Furnace, sitting cross-legged in meditation, beginning to evolve the ultimate chaos.
Furthermore, the appearance of the Chaos Cauldron Furnace contained the strongest power of chaos. At this moment, the attacks of the nine Heaven's Avatars were all blocked, unable to break through immediately.
The light of his Primordial Spirit shone magnificently, as if containing a blazing sun, incredibly resplendent.
Faintly visible within the Mud Pill Palace between his brows, a powerful Primordial Spirit infant sat cross-legged in meditation, reciting scriptures.
It was as if the three thousand deities of the Mythical Era were chanting softly, or like three thousand demon kings roaring, or even more like the thirty-six ancient divine Buddhas of the Great Thunderclap Temple reciting sutras.
All the scripture profundities he had cultivated in his past and present lives were surfacing at this moment, reciting themselves autonomously.
He was going all out to evolve chaos, to create the ultimate Dao!
Boom—
The Chaos Cauldron Furnace was forcibly pierced, creating a pitch-black hole. It was the Fifth Heaven's Avatar, a heavenly maiden of peerless grace and elegance, yet as invincible as an empress of her generation. Wielding a demonic jar through the air, she unleashed wave after wave of world-ending power, finally piercing a corner of the Chaos Cauldron Furnace and charging in.
Deep in the wondrous state of evolving chaos, Ye Chen was almost unable to spare any attention for this. However, his Human King body appeared, carrying a strand of his supreme essence, spirit, and the Supreme Dao body formed from Saint Blood. It blocked the Fifth Heaven's Avatar, engaging in fierce combat to prevent her from getting too close to Ye Chen.
Yet another Heaven's Avatar followed, charging in. It was surrounded by an aura that overshadowed the world, with the terrifying phenomenon of the eighteen layers of hell appearing, mountains of corpses and seas of blood floating within, like the lord of hell itself, rushing forward.
Ye Chen's true self, sitting cross-legged while evolving chaos, was struck. His Battle Saint Body was torn, losing an arm that shed copious blood. He suffered a grievous wound.
Immediately, the other Heaven's Avatars took action, directly shattering the Chaos Cauldron Furnace formed from chaotic energy and charging in.
Boom—
Ye Chen was smashed to pieces, appearing so fragile.
Many watching pupils contracted sharply, while numerous disciples and Elders of the Heavenly Gate were filled with worry.
Only the five immortal forces could be considered gloating.
"Brother..."
Within the Heavenly Gate, Fairy Xi had long since appeared, hovering in a patch of void, watching from afar.
Alas, she could only watch helplessly, unable to lend a hand.
Golden light flashed. Ye Chen reconstructed his Saint Body once more, still reciting scriptures, condensing the Chaos Cauldron Furnace, refining the Ten Thousand Daos!
In the time that followed, he was smashed to pieces twice more. If not for the Saint Body Regeneration Art, if not for the fusion of his two Saint Bodies, if not for refining the Dragon Source, if not for the combination of factors like Nine Tribulation Gold—if it were any other immortal True King, no matter how powerful, they would have been slain and perished.
This was a one-sided slaughter. Even someone as powerful as Ye Chen at the legendary Tenth Heaven was almost powerless to continue. It spoke volumes.
But as time passed, the Chaos Cauldron Furnace Ye Chen was evolving became clearer. The Ten Thousand Daos collided, strands of ancient chaotic energy continuously evolving, interweaving across the sky. The cauldron furnace became increasingly solid and stable.
Even later, when the ten Heaven's Avatars tried to pierce the Chaos Cauldron Furnace, it was no longer as easy as at the beginning.
However, what drew the most attention was that from the very start until now, before the Thunder Gate, the mysterious Tenth Heaven's Avatar had never truly taken action. It stood motionless in the sky, as if sitting in eternal meditation.
Yet, it was this Tenth Heaven's Avatar that Ye Chen feared the most.
But at this moment, he was already powerless to attend to anything else.
Ye Chen, covered in blood, sat cross-legged within the Chaos Cauldron Furnace. No matter how powerful the nine Heaven's Avatars were, they couldn't breach the furnace immediately. However, waves of supreme Supreme One power transmitted through the cauldron walls struck his body, shattering his Saint Bones and flesh into a blurry mess, a pitiful sight.
His Saint Body golden physique was constantly being blasted apart, his skin cracking like porcelain with fine fissures, blood seeping out. Many areas were a mangled mess of flesh and blood; even his blood no longer shimmered with golden radiance, as if the essence of his Saint Body had been drained.
Yet, Ye Chen's expression showed neither joy nor sorrow, as if he had entered a state of Dao.
Between his brows, a Primordial Spirit the size of an infant's fist sat in meditation. The incomplete True King Divine Crown floated up and down, various scriptures being recited, interweaving with each other.
Just like this, a full half day passed.
The vast heavenly tribulation began to slowly recede. Yet at this moment, the Tenth Heaven's Avatar, which had remained as still as a mountain, finally moved.
Still as a mountain, swift as thunder!
Boom—
A corner of the Chaos Cauldron Furnace was forcibly pierced. The Tenth Heaven's Avatar attacked like a peerless Great Emperor, charging in. With a single sweeping palm, Ye Chen's freshly repaired Saint Body was shattered once more.
Moreover, with a raised fist and a shake, it actually had the four origin powers of earth, water, fire, and wind coiling around it, ancient chaotic energy interweaving. It struck Ye Chen's Saint Body until it nearly cracked apart.
The nine Heaven's Avatars behind charged in. Now, all ten Heaven's Avatars appeared together, like ten supremely lofty Supreme Emperors descending to the mortal world. Immortal light surged and flowed, an invincible aura spreading. At this moment, they actually attacked together.
Boom—
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths collapsed, as if even space-time was completely destroyed. The combined attack of the ten Heaven's Avatars surpassed the rules of the myriad domains of the heavens, surpassed limits, surpassed the Dao. It was terrifying beyond measure; even Heavenly Kings could feel a shiver of dread.
There was only blinding light erupting there; nothing else could be seen. Everything was reduced to emptiness.
Annihilation!
Silent, soundless annihilation, the strongest attack that shattered all limits!
When everything dissipated, the originally grand and fierce heavenly tribulation had actually vanished. Even the vast sea of tribulation light and thunder was gone. There was nothing left, truly empty, a void of darkness that filled all onlookers with horror.
Boom—
Suddenly, an even more violent heavenly tribulation descended from the firmament, instantly submerging everything before their eyes, making hearts pound with fear.
And within the infinite sea of tribulation light and thunder, a figure stood up, panting heavily and covered in blood. It was Ye Chen.
Only, at this moment, he was weakened to the extreme.
