The Heaven-Burying Stele manifested, and the Human Sovereign Pagoda also appeared. The emergence of these two supreme emperor weapons, belonging to an Emperor and a Sovereign, caused the entire sea of tribulation light and thunder to boil over, almost exploding.
All the powerhouses within the Huang Gu Demon Domain changed expressions. Whether it was the heavenly stele or the ancient pagoda, they were clearly Great Dao artifacts condensed from within the heavenly tribulation, vessels of heavenly Dao patterns, possessing unparalleled might that would make even a Saint Lord's heart tremble.
Especially the Cang Dragon and the Dark Abyss Demon Dragon—they had clearly seen Ye Chen wield the Human Sovereign Pagoda earlier. Yet, it had now manifested within the tribulation. What astonishing origins did that pagoda, flowing with thirty-three layers of primordial Chaos Qi, possess, that even the heavenly tribulation would manifest it?
The two Great Dao ancient weapons manifested within the tribulation descended, carrying endless thunder tribulation, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. Heaven and earth collapsed in an instant. Below, entire ranges of pitch-black mountains in the Dark Abyss valley were completely pulverized into dust under this thunderous might.
The Dark Abyss Demon Dragon seethed with anger but dared not speak, retreating as far away as possible.
Within the tribulation, Ye Chen gazed at the two Great Dao ancient weapons purely condensed from the heavenly tribulation, focusing intently, ready.
The Heaven-Burying Stele smashed down, the sky exploded, the sea of tribulation light and thunder boiled, descending from the heavens.
Back on the River of Time, the mysterious figure wreathed in Chaos Qi had used the Heaven-Burying Stele to sever the River of Time, possessing unimaginably terrifying power.
Without a second thought, Ye Chen directly unleashed the Heaven-Shaking Palm, clashing against the Heaven-Burying Stele, exploding vast swathes of the tribulation light and thunder sea.
Sky-filling thunderbolts transformed into liquid thunder that splashed down into the Dark Abyss valley below, shattering mountains in great swathes, the demonic mist sizzling as it dissolved.
The Heaven-Burying Stele was sent flying upward by the Heaven-Shaking Palm, but it did not shatter, remaining hard and indestructible.
At the same time, the Human Sovereign Pagoda arrived. Thirty-three layers of primordial Chaos Qi overflowed. Though clearly formed from tribulation light and thunder, it felt utterly real, causing that stretch of void to completely collapse.
A single wisp of primordial Chaos Qi was enough to crush mountains and rivers, let alone billions upon billions of them. Even though manifested from tribulation light and thunder, they still contained a certain divine nature.
Ye Chen pushed forward suns, moons, and stars, operating the Heaven-Suppressing Seal. It too transformed into a divine seal in the shape of a Dao pagoda, imprinted with the Dao marks of the Battle Saint lineage, and he pushed it forth to collide.
Boom—
The Heaven-Suppressing Seal shattered, and the Human Sovereign Pagoda was sent flying.
But the Human Sovereign Pagoda did not shatter; it merely trembled violently, the surrounding void continuously fracturing and collapsing.
Ye Chen did not dare be the slightest bit careless. He executed the Boundary-Traversing Secret Art, crossing through layers of illusory world realms, instantly charging upward to arrive before the Heaven-Burying Stele. He raised his palm to meet it, his hand transforming in an instant from slender and pale to crystalline like fine mutton-fat jade, then swung the Heaven-Shaking Palm to directly clash head-on.
He unleashed a full twelve consecutive palm strikes, each one terrifying and boundless, shaking heaven and earth. Only then was the Heaven-Burying Stele sent flying and even shattered.
But drops of supreme blood flowed from it, so real, erupting with powerful fluctuations of blood qi. Furthermore, alien demonic creatures flew out from it, with ferocious faces and fangs, a terrifying sight.
And primordial Chaos Qi descended. The Human Sovereign Pagoda flew over, its thirty-three layers of primordial Chaos Qi directly giving birth to thirty-three layered realms, trapping Ye Chen within, seeking to seal him inside.
Moreover, within the tribulation, a White Tiger holy spirit emerged, a Vermilion Bird crossed the sky, a Black Tortoise tread the sea, a True Dragon soared, a Phoenix remained immortal, a Golden Crow transformed into a sun...
One after another, ancient mythical holy spirits continuously manifested within the thirty-three layered realms, all of them terrifying.
The dreadfulness of this great tribulation was simply rare throughout ancient and modern times, unimaginable.
Countless demon race powerhouses within the Huang Gu Demon Domain had long been watching, each one's heart trembling at the sight. If they were to go up, death would be certain.
But Ye Chen, the tribulation-crosser, was peerlessly domineering. On one hand, he had to break open the thirty-three layered realms; on the other, he also had to battle the mythical holy beasts birthed from the sea of tribulation light and thunder.
His offensive power was originally matchless in the world. Now, after executing the world's most fearsome offensive technique, the Battle Saint Art, his combat power had risen to an extremely terrifying level.
Ye Chen bathed in blood, going berserk. He tore the White Tiger in half, shattered the Black Tortoise's shell, trampled the Golden Crow, seized the True Dragon...
The Battle Saint Art was not limited to the Heaven-Severing Finger, Heaven-Shaking Palm, and Heaven-Suppressing Seal; these were merely three of its moves. It could also freely evolve all Dao and techniques, evolve the cosmos, and master the most powerful offensive force.
Though the Great Dao ancient weapons condensed within the tribulation were fearsome, and the Human Sovereign Pagoda was even inscribed with the most terrifying heavenly tribulation runes, capable of collapsing rivers and mountains for ten thousand li with a single move, they were ineffective against Ye Chen.
Layer after layer of realms were continuously broken open. Ye Chen continuously wielded and executed the Battle Saint Art. His offensive power practically reached a pinnacle, capable of slaying immortals while defying the heavens, shaking the firmament. The entire vast heaven and earth trembled for him.
In the end, the thirty-three-layered Human Sovereign Pagoda was forcefully exploded by Ye Chen, transforming into sky-filling fragments that scattered into the sea of tribulation light and thunder. Each fragment could explode into sky-filling liquid thunder, truly dreadful.
The Heaven-Burying Stele was also blasted apart by him. The drops of alien supreme blood could no longer evolve into alien creatures, all completely erased.
Ye Chen's entire body was stained with blood—blood of the tribulation creatures and his own brilliant golden Saint blood. Covered in blood, his invincibility caused all living beings in the ten directions to tremble with fear.
The terrifying heavenly tribulation began to show signs of dissipating. The sea of tribulation light and thunder dimmed many times over, no longer as dazzling and powerful, gradually fading.
"Is the heavenly tribulation finally about to dissipate?"
Everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, because if this tribulation continued to be so terrifying, their very souls might be frightened out of them.
Too terrifying, indescribable, unimaginable.
But Ye Chen did not relax. On the contrary, he looked toward the lofty, unreachable apex of the heavens.
Boom—
At this very moment, a thunderclap practically exploded throughout the boundless Huang Gu Demon Domain, startling everyone, making them focus their minds once more and look up toward the firmament.
The previously dimmed sea of tribulation light and thunder instantly grew many times more intense, becoming far more terrifying than before.
There, a grand expanse of heavenly palace halls appeared, purely condensed from tribulation light and thunder, stretching for who knew how many li. Each palace was so magnificent, with immortal mountains standing tall and divine islands floating—it was simply a celestial palace.
"What a magnificent heavenly palace, so resplendent. Even my realm lacks such a majestic heavenly palace, unseen throughout ancient and modern times."
Within the Huang Gu Demon Domain, a demon race powerhouse exclaimed in awe, unable to believe the wondrous sight before his eyes.
Ye Chen's gaze instantly blazed a thousandfold brighter. Though he had never seen this heavenly palace before, within the memories left by the September Great Power, there was a record.
The Human Sovereign Palace!
