The Saint Body Regeneration Art operated autonomously, swiftly repairing all injuries. Moreover, Ye Chen was not one to merely defend; he took the initiative to attack.
He executed the Realm-Treading Secret Technique, his figure instantly reaching the utmost limit of speed in the world. With a whoosh, his entire form completely vanished. Even an overlord as powerful as that was unable to capture the trajectory of his movement.
"Too fast! Among human Saint Treasury Realm cultivators, his speed is number one in the world, unrivaled and supreme!"
The powerhouses all exclaimed in shock. Such speed truly represented the absolute pinnacle within the Saint Treasury Realm. It was likely that only a Heavenly King stepping forth could surpass it.
A shocking fluctuation of divine energy erupted. Ye Chen's figure appeared, swift as lightning, tracing out the trajectory of the Great Dao. He further manifested the Battle Saint Art, pushing its profound mysteries to the extreme. With a *pfft* sound, he directly tore the White Tiger holy spirit into two halves, severing both blood and bone.
The White Tiger holy spirit was slain.
Yet this scene felt so real, for as the White Tiger holy spirit was torn apart, its flesh and blood were crystalline, its bones stark white. Blood droplets shimmered with a sacred bloody light, containing a special vitality, no different from a normal living being.
This left all the onlookers in shock and awe—not just at Ye Chen's terrifying combat power, but also at the reality of these heavenly tribulation beings.
Were they real, or were they mere manifestations?
Ye Chen's gaze grew many times more profound. Having lived two lives and received the legacy of the September Great Power, he deeply understood that the heavenly tribulation might conceal the greatest secret in the world.
He directly reached out and grabbed all the flesh and blood. Under the sensing of his divine sense, he distinctly perceived a supreme power of Dao rules manifesting within the White Tiger holy spirit's flesh and blood. But in an instant, it vanished, leaving him sensing nothing. This caused him to pause slightly.
*Screech!*
From within the sea of tribulation light and thunder, that Immortal Phoenix dove down, stirring up vast swathes of thunderous divine flame, all aimed at Ye Chen.
The Sun Seal was directly unleashed, divine flame blasting forth—fire against fire. Having accumulated considerable combat experience when facing the Immortal Phoenix guardian within the Human Sovereign Pagoda, he already knew how to deal with an Immortal Phoenix.
Moreover, this Immortal Phoenix manifested within the heavenly tribulation was far inferior to the Human Sovereign Pagoda's guardian.
Ye Chen expanded the Ten Heavens divine nature halo, instantly adding it to himself. Ten thousand laws could not invade him; all evils could not enter. He walked within the sea of tribulation light and thunder as if he were an invincible Immortal King striding through the mortal world, towering and fearless. Yet he was also fast to the extreme, instantly charging before the Immortal Phoenix.
Without needing to say more, Ye Chen displayed the Immortal-Slaying Form, beheading Immortals and slaying gods. His combat power suddenly soared by a large margin as he engaged in a world-shaking collision with the Immortal Phoenix. The entire sea of tribulation light and thunder was nearly shaken apart, on the verge of collapse.
*Whoosh!*
Ye Chen soared into the air, his entire person like a humanoid tyrannosaur emerging into the world. With a tearing sound, he directly ripped the Immortal Phoenix into two halves, killing it outright.
Then Ye Chen reached out to grab it again. And at this moment, the Ten Heavens divine nature halo instantly manifested, stabilizing the Five Elements of heaven and earth, sealing the cosmos. In one move, it suppressed and sealed the Immortal Phoenix corpse that was about to dissipate.
The Ten Heavens divine nature halo could be called quite mysterious and unique. It was formed by the Ten Heavens divine nature condensed together, seemingly able to connect to another mysterious world, flowing with the most enigmatic aura of the Great Dao, capable of sealing this cosmos.
Even Ye Chen, its master, had not yet been able to comprehend all its secrets.
This scene also shocked the powerhouses within the Huang Gu Demon Domain. If he could even seal the holy beasts manifested by the thunder tribulation, what couldn't Ye Chen do?
Having previously sensed the supreme power of Dao rules from the White Tiger holy spirit's flesh and blood, Ye Chen was quite concerned. Now, having sealed a portion of the cosmos, he wanted to thoroughly study all these Dao marks and rule powers.
Moreover, it had long been rumored that the heavenly tribulation contained the greatest secret in the world. Naturally, Ye Chen was also quite curious and wanted to use this opportunity to observe a part of it.
He sat cross-legged in meditation within the sea of tribulation light and thunder, expanding the Ten Heavens divine nature halo to its limit. Immortal energy misted around him, completely resisting all the tribulation light, preventing the slightest invasion.
Simultaneously, Faith Power from his Primordial Spirit poured in like a sea, instantly elevating his perception and thoughts many times over. He thus fixed his gaze upon the Immortal Phoenix's flesh and blood, seeing numerous incredibly complex powers of Dao rules, remaining utterly motionless.
A brief period of intense observation actually allowed him to perceive a type of Dao rule power that transcended the myriad realms, as if originating from a vast and great world, not inferior to the myriad realms.
Primordial Immortal Realm!
Almost at the same instant, this thought surfaced in Ye Chen's mind, bringing with it unparalleled shock.
Could the true origin of the heavenly tribulation be from the mysterious Primordial Immortal Realm?
Did the Primordial Immortal Realm truly exist in the world?
He found it somewhat hard to believe what was before his eyes and was just about to continue his research.
*Boom!*
The Heavenly Dao sensed this. It would not tolerate worldly beings blaspheming the might of the heavenly tribulation or peeking into its fundamental secrets. It descended an even more terrifying Great Dao thunder tribulation.
Within the sea of tribulation light and thunder, one legendary tribulation after another continuously appeared, even transforming into various fearsome Dao weapons or all sorts of exotic beasts of heaven and earth. They traversed the sky, directly interfering with Ye Chen's comprehension and even blasting open the Ten Heavens divine nature halo, catching him off guard.
Even a Battle Sacred Body as powerful as Ye Chen's was unable to completely withstand it. Golden saintly blood continuously splattered, scattering across heaven and earth.
Without a doubt, because these were among the most terrifying tribulations, even the Battle Sacred Body had blood spurting forth. Ye Chen was wounded, with many places showing stark white bones. There were even several spots where he was pierced through front and back, his flesh charred, appearing quite ferocious and fearsome.
The Ten Heavens shattered, and the Immortal Phoenix's flesh and blood dissipated, the power of Dao rules also vanishing completely.
This left Ye Chen regretful, but he had no time to dwell on it now. For in the sky above, countless ten-thousand-*zhang* thunderbolts rumbled down, transforming into a vast, majestic sea of tribulation light and thunder that descended with a roar, annihilating the entire world, destroying heaven and earth, causing hearts to tremble.
Ye Chen stood alone in the sky, his black hair dancing wildly in the wind. He brandished his sacred fist, resisting and even charging upwards against the tide, as if dueling with the heavens above.
He was invincible. His entire essence, energy, and spirit were erupting. This world seemed about to shatter under the will of his Great Dao, truly fearsome, causing hearts to palpitate with fear.
*Boom!*
Ye Chen fiercely struck out with the Heaven-Shaking Palm, shaking the heavens. A large swathe of the sea of tribulation light and thunder above his head vanished, leaving behind a terrifying vacuum.
Suddenly, a ray of immortal light, dazzling to the utmost extreme, descended from the deepest part of the sea of tribulation light and thunder. It was filled with an aura of utter annihilation, as if it had crossed the eternal sky to appear, slashing down upon Ye Chen.
*Boom!*
Before Ye Chen could even react, he was directly pulverized into dust by this ray of immortal light, his flesh and blood turning to ash.
