The Supreme Great Tribulation of the Tenth Heaven was also beginning to fade, to disperse.
The magnificent sea of tribulation light and thunder was gradually dissipating.
Above the Nine Heavens, within the Thunder Gate that stood towering in the vast firmament, a piece of blazing radiance flowed out, carrying boundless and immense supreme thunder might. An ancient, primordial aura of antiquity overflowed, as if connecting to a distant Mythical Era, utterly captivating.
The Thunder Gate was precisely the place where the ten Avatars of Heaven had appeared, holding infinite mysteries.
And at this moment, just as each Avatar of Heaven was withdrawing back into the Ancient Thunder Gate one by one, Ye Chen instantly shot forward, standing before the Ancient Thunder Gate.
The Ninth Heaven's Avatar, which had not yet completely withdrawn, struck out, bringing with it a thunderous, overwhelming blow.
Ye Chen collided with it. The golden light of his Saint Body erupted as he swung his invincible Saint Fist. Moreover, his eyes shone many times brighter as he gazed into the Ancient Thunder Gate.
He caught a glimpse of a scene within the Thunder Gate. It was a vast battlefield, unimaginably large, so expansive it seemed endless, as if it could contain the entire starry sky.
On this ancient battlefield, one could see with the naked eye enormous, boundless corpses lying strewn about. Some were even larger than stars, and the hair of some corpses even coiled around stars themselves, their size indescribably immense.
Furthermore, Ye Chen saw some skeletons that were not particularly large, lying on the battlefield, but their aura was terrifying beyond description, even stronger than that of ancient great powers.
This place could be called a boundless purgatory, with an aura of extreme tragedy overflowing, enough to make one's heart tremble.
What kind of place did the Thunder Gate lead to, that such a scene could appear? It was enough to make anyone's heart pound with fear, and the aura it exuded was frighteningly ancient.
Suddenly, Ye Chen thought of an era—the Great Destruction of the Mythical Era!
But the glimpse he had once seen in the eyes of the alien supreme existence did not contain this scene. Perhaps it was on another battlefield, or perhaps in another place.
The ancient Thunder Gate was filled with profound mysteries, as if it had buried all the secrets of heaven and earth, making it utterly unfathomable.
And at this time, the Tenth Heaven's Avatar was also preparing to withdraw back into the Ancient Thunder Gate. But Ye Chen's aura suddenly surged powerfully. He directly swung his Heaven-Shaking Palm, attacking the Tenth Heaven.
Boom—
Heaven and earth shattered. The Ancient Thunder Gate trembled violently, and large swathes of tribulation light and thunder collapsed. What made Ye Chen's pupils contract sharply was that the Tenth Heaven's Avatar was also swinging out a Heaven-Shaking Palm.
And in the instant he shook away the faint wisps of light mist from the Tenth Heaven's Avatar, parting the clouds to see a corner of its true appearance...
The mysterious Tenth Heaven's Avatar was none other than himself, with features and figure exactly the same.
Finally, the Tenth Heaven also withdrew back into the Ancient Thunder Gate. But for some reason, Ye Chen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he heard the Tenth Heaven's Avatar let out a sigh.
When he looked again, the Tenth Heaven had also vanished, having retreated.
Ye Chen gazed from a distance at the massive Thunder Gate that had completely closed and dissipated, lost in thought. He always felt as if the heavenly tribulation contained the greatest secrets of heaven and earth, worthy of his exploration.
But now, he couldn't concern himself with anything else; he needed to heal his injuries as quickly as possible.
Since undergoing the tribulation, especially during the process of melting the myriad Daos and constructing the Chaos, he had expended far too much of his essence, spirit, and vitality. His origin had been greatly depleted. Now, his entire body was a bloody mess, flesh torn to the bone, battered and broken. Every strand of hair was stained with golden blood.
He sat cross-legged in the void, directly activating his divine abilities. With a rumble, the boundless essence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths surged endlessly toward the Battle Saint King.
What was even more unbelievable was that the Battle Saint King, with his divine and peerless bravery, actually reached out and seized the sea of tribulation light and thunder that had not yet completely dissipated. Like a long rainbow, he drew it in, pouring it into his body from the crown of his head, directly refining it.
Such a scene left countless people astonished. The Battle Saint King was simply too ferocious, to actually accomplish this.
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Master had long since descended from the unreachably high firmament, landing not too far from Ye Chen, silently acting as his protector.
A full half-day later, Ye Chen finally opened his eyes. No dazzling light shot from them; they appeared very profound. And at this moment, the unique golden blood energy of his Saint Body suddenly surged into the heavens, rumbling and roaring, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, shaking the Six Directions and Eight Wastes.
The entire heaven and earth were completely enveloped by this vast blood energy. Stars trembled, the myriad heavens shook. A single person had shaken the entire world, leaving all who witnessed it in awe and shock.
It was as if a supreme Great Emperor stood tall, overlooking the vast heaven and earth, supreme and peerless.
"Indeed, after undergoing the tribulation, the application of power feels much more smooth and effortless compared to before," Ye Chen sensed the power within his Saint Body. Although it wasn't much stronger than before the tribulation, wielding it felt considerably easier.
Originally, although he could rival the Demi-Saint level, he had never undergone the tribulation and thus could not be considered a true Demi-Saint. Now that the tribulation was over, the previous limitations and restraints were gone. Everything felt effortless. Moreover, both his primordial spirit and physical body had been tempered and strengthened even more within the tribulation sea.
It was also an auxiliary breakthrough into a mysterious realm, which elevated every aspect of his physical body by a large margin, making it far more formidable than before.
Every drop of blood within his body was golden and resplendent. Every inch of his flesh was incomparably powerful, as if true dragons lay dormant within, containing supreme Dao divine power, surging and vigorous, far exceeding the scope of a Saint's treasure body.
He was confident that this Battle Saint Body possessed endless power capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, truly terrifying and immeasurable. Within the same realm, looking across the myriad realms, he firmly believed no one could surpass him, not even the children of Supreme Ones.
Standing at this level, even killing a Saint would not be too difficult.
Swish—
Ye Chen looked toward the Heavenly Gate. Although he had not yet arrived in person, his gaze solidified into substance, like two heavenly swords crossing the sky, landing within the Heavenly Gate, imposing an unparalleled, terrifying Dao pressure.
The Saint King was invincible!
Then, Ye Chen looked toward the divine ships of the five Immortal Forces lingering in the distance, revealing a cold smile. This immediately made everyone in the Heavenly Gate tremble with fear. They hurriedly departed, not daring to stay a moment longer.
If the Battle Saint King were to attack now, they would be doomed, with no one able to withstand him.
Within the Heavenly Gate, cheers erupted like tidal waves, rising and falling one after another, filling the mountains and plains. Elders, renowned seniors, and guest elders all came out to congratulate the Battle Saint King on his emergence.
The various powerful experts who had come to watch the battle did the same. The Heavenly Gate was filled with celebration.
Especially among the younger generation. In the current world, countless people had been sneering that the Battle Saint King had perished in seclusion. If today's events were to spread, they would surely shake the myriad realms, silencing all those critics. One could only imagine how spectacular the expressions on their faces would be.
This was something worth looking forward to.
