That's right. Within the gate of light, there was the legendary Ancient Heavenly Court, rising and falling.
The Ancient Heavenly Court at the center of the Myriad Domains was one of the strongest powers that could stand shoulder to shoulder with Emperors and Sovereigns.
Ye Chen had never been to the Ancient Heavenly Court, but there were many records about it in the world, and the Heavenly Gate also possessed important ancient texts documenting it.
Even September Great Power had once entered the Ancient Heavenly Court in the past. Naturally, as his successor, Ye Chen also knew the appearance of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
However, compared to the Ancient Heavenly Court at the center of the Myriad Domains, the heavenly palaces before his eyes were far more complete and magnificent, presenting an unparalleled grandeur.
It was as if the Ancient Heavenly Court of the Mythical Era had manifested itself.
Because it was the immortal Imperial Court established by the Heavenly Emperor.
The current Ancient Heavenly Court, though still the Imperial Court from the Mythical Era, one must know that in the great cataclysm of the Mythical Era, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.
Even the Mythical Heavenly Court could not escape unscathed. Many important palaces and halls fell in that battle, leaving many missing. The current Ancient Heavenly Court was not complete; it was merely rebuilt upon the ruins of the former broken Imperial Court.
But it could not be compared to the Mythical Imperial Court. The one manifesting within the gate of light before him was the truly complete Heavenly Court.
Ye Chen stood upon the gate of light, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on that vast, boundless Imperial Court. Ancient halls stood towering, loftier than mountains, majestic and imposing. Moreover, myriad stars circled around them, rising and falling together.
In a daze, Ye Chen seemed to see countless beings of the myriad realms prostrating themselves, kneeling, and paying homage outside the Mythical Heavenly Court, all races venerating it, supreme above the heavens.
From afar, he saw beams of peerless light shooting up from the Heavenly Court, piercing into the highest reaches of the sky, vanishing into the vast starry expanse. They stood like pillars holding up the heavens, with myriad stars orbiting them.
Each beam of light was world-shaking, releasing an aura of Supreme Ones.
Ye Chen sensed wave after wave of Supreme One auras, similar to the Human Sovereign from the previous battle and the ten Heaven's Avatars he had fought in the past—all equally peerless in the world, supremely exalted.
Ye Chen was shocked, profoundly shaken from the depths of his heart. Gazing at those peerless beams of light, it was as if one Mythical Emperor and Sovereign after another stood there, looking down upon him.
Could it be that the ten Heaven's Avatars within the heavenly tribulation, the Mythical Emperors and Sovereigns, all resided within that vast Mythical Heavenly Court?
Involuntarily, Ye Chen lifted his foot, wanting to step into the gate of light. He wanted to know the world within the gate of light, to go to that Mythical Ancient Heavenly Court and understand the truth of everything.
Because he saw the Mythical Ancient Heavenly Court, and behind it, he saw a vast, boundless world rising and falling. Kunpeng soared across the sky, Golden Crows spread their wings, Yinglong roared, True Dragons soared, Phoenixes underwent nirvana—all sorts of Mythical holy spirits appeared, seeming incredibly real.
He also saw many grand scenes.
Such as the eerie Immortal Graveyard, where divine and demonic tombs larger than mountains stood, and huge stellar corpses fell upon them, yet seemed utterly insignificant.
Countless bleached white bones ignited with divine flames, becoming an immortal army, death energy soaring to the heavens.
On the magnificent golden divine sea, nine divine suns rose and fell eternally, illuminating the myriad realms, its waters never drying up.
The Immortal Heavenly Pass stood at the horizon, lofty and unassailable, dark and unbreakable, dotted with huge stars that appeared tiny.
The World Tree towered into the starry sky, its branches and leaves reaching the heavens, coiling around stars, giving birth to great worlds.
A surging river formed from Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang qi spanned the starry expanse, with stars falling into it, unable to stir up much of a splash, utterly insignificant, its origin and destination unknown...
Eerie, grand world scenes unfolded behind the Mythical Imperial Court, revealing an unbelievably magnificent panorama before Ye Chen's eyes.
This world was not the myriad realms, nor was it the Mythical Era recorded in ancient texts.
Suddenly, Ye Chen remembered the mysterious Primordial Immortal Realm.
Could this be the legendary Primordial Immortal Realm, doubted by the world as a fabrication?
Only the Primordial Immortal Realm could possess such a magnificent Imperial Court, could possess these various special and mysterious regions.
Within the heavenly tribulation lay all the secrets of the world, and the gate of light was the source of all secrets.
Ye Chen's eyes burned with fervor, desiring to glimpse all the secrets of the world.
Moreover, after entering the gate of light, he could feel his essence, energy, and spirit boiling within him, constantly growing stronger. His blood energy burned, and runes interwove and manifested, shining brilliantly as if he were about to ascend.
His entire being seemed about to transform into a Child of Light, incredibly fiery.
Ye Chen strode forward, but with each step, his body began to burn, pieces of flesh starting to slough off, completely incinerated, turning him into a skeleton.
Then, as his steps continued, his flesh and blood kept burning, his blood evaporating—utterly bizarre.
Outside, many powerful demonic beings watched in horror. Though they couldn't see what was inside the gate of light, they witnessed Ye Chen's performance.
What was happening to this young generation's supreme of the human race? Did he want to commit suicide?
What was happening before their eyes was clearly a manifestation of Dao dissipation, yet the young human supreme seemed utterly unaware. Soon, only a skeleton remained, flowing with brilliant golden light, runes flickering, yet still burning continuously, Dao marks burning and dancing away.
A classic sign of Dao dissipation.
Yet Ye Chen remained unaware, continuing to stride forward as if bewitched.
The Dark Abyss Demon Dragon laughed heartily. Previously, it had been somewhat wary of Ye Chen finishing his tribulation and dealing with it, but now there was no need to worry. Because Ye Chen was about to undergo complete Dao dissipation. Once that happened, he would vanish forever, and no one could save him.
The Cang Dragon watched anxiously, constantly roaring and howling, trying to awaken Ye Chen within the gate of light. But the Dark Abyss Demon Dragon had long since sealed the space, preventing sound from entering, and with a swipe of its claw, sent the Cang Dragon flying.
It would not allow Ye Chen to awaken from Dao dissipation.
In the end, even Ye Chen's remaining golden holy bones completely transformed into a ball of golden flame, utterly dissipating within the gate of light.
Reduced to ashes, complete annihilation of both body and spirit!
Seeing this with his own eyes, the Dark Abyss Demon Dragon laughed uproariously, filled with unparalleled delight: "Human brat, you've finally met your end. You deserve to dissipate."
Then, the Dark Abyss Demon Dragon turned its gaze to the Cang Dragon, filled with killing intent: "You little dragon, you escaped by a stroke of luck back then, but how will you escape my grasp today? I've nurtured you for so many years; your dragon blood has mostly recovered. It's time to devour you. To what level will it strengthen my dragon blood?"
It chuckled sinisterly, then transformed into its true form—a massive dark Heavenly Dragon soaring across the sky, turning into endless demonic mist that surged toward the restrained and sealed Cang Dragon, intent on devouring it.
The Cang Dragon despaired!
But at that moment, a faint voice suddenly resounded throughout heaven and earth—
"Even when beating a dog, one must consider its master. I'm not dead yet, old fellow. Aren't you a bit too hasty?"
As the words fell, the entire scene fell silent!
