"Hahaha!"

The young man burst into laughter, a laugh laced with anger, subtly revealing madness.

The young man was the embodiment of Heavenly Dao, the most sacred, transcendent, and invincible existence throughout history!

Even Transcendence doesn't dare claim to slay him, yet Ye Chen dares say he wants to kill him?

Ye Chen had stolen three thousand secret techniques, growing into a ferocious tiger, but the young man was a true dragon!

No matter how fierce a tiger's might, can it rival a dragon?

"I was young and reckless, and let you laugh at me!" Ye Chen laughed as well, with unfathomable depth.

"I am the Heavenly Dao, the universe is indestructible, my form is eternal, what do you have to kill me with?" the young man said.

Even Transcendence cannot crush the Heavenly Dao, what virtue or ability does Ye Chen have to kill him?

"I say I can, therefore I can!" Ye Chen's insistence seemed more like mere stubbornness.

"Heh!" the young man's expression turned cold, as if thoroughly irritated by Ye Chen.

"Are your injuries very severe?" Ye Chen looked at the young man's wound and suddenly asked.

The young man's abdomen was pierced through, his flesh and blood gone, yet no blood flowed, only a faint glow remained. Furthermore, the young man's aura was very chaotic, very weak, very noisy, clearly not promising.

"Do you want to take advantage of my weakness?" the young man said coldly.

"Do I look like such a person?" Ye Chen's eyebrows furrowed, seeming displeased, dissatisfied with the young man's wrongful accusation against him. "Even if I were to kill you, I would do so openly and honorably; how would I take advantage of someone's vulnerability?"

"Heh, really?" the young man sneered, but internally relaxed. He was merely an embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, unable to exist for long, soon to disintegrate and return to the source of the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, the young man was severely wounded by the Heavenly Emperor's rune, already weak and unable to sustain! If Ye Chen were to suddenly attack, the young man would truly struggle to defend!

"Boom!"

Just as the young man relaxed, a rune suddenly appeared, pressing down on him fiercely.

It was a golden rune, brimming with a sacred, terrifying, invincible aura, precisely Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor rune!

"You faithless scoundrel!" the young man vanished on the spot as he saw the rune pressing down, leaving behind only an angry roar echoing.

"How am I faithless?" Ye Chen said.

"You just said you wouldn't take advantage of weakness, then suddenly attacked me—isn't that faithlessness?" the young man's voice came from afar, glaring at Ye Chen.

"But you are the Heavenly Dao, the strongest in the universe, would you fear me taking advantage?" The Heavenly Emperor rune hovered above, Ye Chen strode towards the young man with overwhelming momentum.

"You, you, you despicable villain!" The young man was suffocated for a moment, cursing.

Ye Chen's question was so skillful; if the young man admitted fear, he'd lose face; if he denied it, he'd lose his life! One side was face, one side was life; how was the young man to choose?

"Quickly say you're afraid of me, or I'll kill you!" Ye Chen's momentum climbed endlessly, threatening the young man.

"Scram!" The young man was furious. He was the revered Heavenly Dao, respected by all beings, worshipped by all life, yet Ye Chen was toying with him, how could he not be angry?

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Emperor rune descended from above, emitting tens of thousands of auras, earth-shattering, pressing down onto the young man.

"Hand of the Heavenly Dao!"

The young man's aura was weak, but his fighting power remained.

Ye Chen was so aggressive, how could the young man endure?

A giant hand that covered the sky appeared, entwined with thunder, with a gentle movement, it caused the heavens and earth to boil, covering the Heavenly Emperor rune.

Rumble!

Ye Chen had already turned into a ferocious tiger, not a bit weaker than Epic Force, and the Heavenly Emperor rune was even more terrifying, almost having the power to destroy a world.

However, the Heavenly Emperor rune was repelled because the opponent was the Heavenly Dao!

The heavens cannot be defied!

Even if Ye Chen became a great fiend, he did not have the ability to defy the heavens!

However, the young man's condition was truly poor, and after shattering the Heavenly Emperor rune, the giant hand disintegrated as well, seeming already incapable of support.

"Are you now at the end of a strong bow?"

Ye Chen strode towards the young man, the Heavenly Emperor rune also flew back, unscathed.

At this moment, Ye Chen's momentum was intense, like a fierce tiger, fearing neither might nor death, battling the heavens.

"If you dare move forward another step, I will use a secret technique to completely obliterate you!" the young man said with a ferocious expression.

"Alright, don't be impulsive, I won't step forward!" Ye Chen stopped his killing stance decisively, as if truly fearing the young man would go down with him.

Even if weakened, the young man was still an embodiment of the Heavenly Dao!

Heavenly Dao is the will of the universe; even an embodiment could sweep across nine heavens and ten lands!

If not for the young man being severely injured by some mysterious force, Ye Chen couldn't have forced him to this point.

If the young man truly went mad, and fought to the death, wouldn't Ye Chen have suffered a great loss?

The young man was an embodiment; even if destroyed, he could return to the source of Heavenly Dao.

But Ye Chen was just Ye Chen; he had only one life, and if he died, he would be forever gone!

Therefore, Ye Chen didn't want to take a risk and perish together.

"I misjudged you!" the young man stared at Ye Chen for a long time, then said.

"It's not the first time you've said that!" Ye Chen laughed.

From the start, the young man called him a chick, then a tiger cub, then said he had grown into a fierce tiger...

Even now, the young man remained bewildered, saying he had misjudged... Ye Chen had heard enough.

"Your growth is too rapid; don't you find it strange?" the young man said. "Earlier you were just a tiger cub; even if you absorbed three thousand secret techniques, it wouldn't have been possible to progress so swiftly and become the fierce tiger you are now!"

"The process is but a process; all I need is the result!" Ye Chen replied coolly.

"Hahaha, are you comforting yourself?" the young man said. "Your realm is getting higher, your strength getting stronger, you must have sensed it!"

"Behind you, there's a person who exists, watching you all the time, manipulating you!"

"The trajectory of your growth has long been fixed by someone, you are but a created existence!"

Ye Chen has two kinds of causality on him, representing two great existences! One of them is the Heavenly Dao, the other is not the Heavenly Dao, but no weaker than the Heavenly Dao!

It is precisely because of these two causalities that Ye Chen is able to be invincible all the way and reach the height he is at now!

However, the price Ye Chen pays for his invincibility is losing his destiny, his fate has been altered by someone, his destiny manipulated!

"Yes, I sensed it!" Ye Chen was neither fearful nor uneasy, only a faint casualness.

"Afraid?" The young man felt Ye Chen was pretending to be calm.

"Afraid!" Ye Chen nodded honestly. "But, there are many things I don't understand, can you help me clear up my confusion?"

"Why should I help you?" the young man said.

"To make me even more afraid!" Ye Chen said.

"Heh!" The young man sneered, seemingly unconcerned.

"I've offended the majesty of the Heavenly Dao, as long as I live without dying, it proves the Heavenly Dao is powerless! Are you, as the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, willing to see such a scenario?" Ye Chen said.

"Hmph!" the young man snorted coldly.

Ye Chen made the Great Saint kneel and kowtow, not knowing how many people saw it, this was already offending the majesty of the heavens!

Moreover, the young man invited Ye Chen to a battle in the clouds, if Ye Chen were to return lively, doesn't that mean even the heavens can't deal with Ye Chen?

Therefore, the young man very much hoped Ye Chen would die, and if not, at least be a cripple at the ninth degree, otherwise, he'd have no face to show.

"Just like you said, as long as you tell me everything, making me fearful and restless inside, my Dao heart would collapse!" Ye Chen said. "Once my Dao heart collapses, I'll be a complete waste! In this way, your majesty can be shown, isn't that so?"

Ye Chen has absorbed the power of three thousand paths, already commanding the Epic Force!

However, the stronger Ye Chen becomes, the more uneasy he feels!

Just like the young Heavenly Dao said, he felt those two causalities, and also felt the crisis.

Ye Chen wants to understand everything! So, he approached cautiously, trying to know the secrets on him through the young man.

"What do you want to know?" the young man pondered for a moment, then asked.

He wanted to make Ye Chen afraid, to see his Dao heart collapse, destroying his future.

"Why did the Heavenly Dao plant causality in me?" Ye Chen asked.

Ye Chen has two kinds of causality on him, one belonging to the unknown, one to the Heavenly Dao!

The unknown causality is too mysterious, even the young man couldn't perceive it, but the Heavenly Dao causality?

Why is the Heavenly Dao focused on him, planting causality in him? And what is this cause, this effect? What does the Heavenly Dao wish to achieve through him?

"I don't know!" Facing Ye Chen's numerous questions, the young man calmly shook his head.

"Oh come on, aren't you the Heavenly Dao?" Ye Chen widened his eyes, thinking the young man was joking with him. "The things you did yourself, how can you not know?"

"I don't know!" The young man still shook his head. "I am merely an embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, I cannot represent the complete Heavenly Dao... the causality on you, I didn't plant it!"

"What do you mean?" Ye Chen asked.

"It means I don't know either!" the young man said.

"..."

Although the young man is an embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, he cannot represent all!

He only has part of the Heavenly Dao's thoughts, part of the Heavenly Dao's power, he is just a part of the Heavenly Dao!

The causality on Ye Chen was indeed planted by the Heavenly Dao, the young man knows as well... but he doesn't know why!

Because, it wasn't he who planted the causality, but the real Heavenly Dao!

To put it crudely, it's like the young man's permissions are not enough to understand this matter at all.

"Damn it!" After understanding everything, Ye Chen showed contempt towards the young man.

He thought the young man was the big boss, who would have known he was just a minor character, this is such a waste of emotions!

"How dare you look at me like this!" the young man said coldly.

Even if the young man is a part of the Heavenly Dao, he still represents the Heavenly Dao, Ye Chen daring to look at him like this is simply a mortal sin!

"You are now a toothless tiger..."

"What did you say!"

Ye Chen's words were full of arrogance, making the young man furious, eager to fight desperately.

"Alright, alright, I'm wrong!" Seeing the young man's excitement, Ye Chen immediately began to admit his mistakes, soothing the young man's emotions.

"Bastard!" The young man looked at Ye Chen, gritting his teeth in anger, if not for his bad state, he would've blasted this guy apart ten thousand times over!

"Is there an existence stronger than the Heavenly Dao between heaven and earth?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.

"No!" the young man replied coldly.

"I don't believe it!" Ye Chen shook his head.

"Ha, the Heavenly Dao is the will of the universe, the one and only above heaven and earth, who can be stronger than the Heavenly Dao?" the young man sneered.

"Then what is the causality on me?" Ye Chen said. "I have two kinds of causality on me, one belonging to the Heavenly Dao, the other not belonging to the Heavenly Dao, but not inferior to the Heavenly Dao!"

The Heavenly Dao is the supreme of the primal chaos, no matter where it manifests, it is the strongest, most invincible, and unique existence!

However, the Heavenly Dao planting causality on Ye Chen, coexisting with another causality, what is this situation?

If possible, the Heavenly Dao would absolutely drive away that kind of causality, to make itself the sole existence!

But, since that kind of causality has not been driven away, there can only be one explanation, which is that the Heavenly Dao can't drive away that causality!

But, since the Heavenly Dao is already the strongest in the universe, what is it that it can't drive away?

Ye Chen has two kinds of causality on him, one belonging to the Heavenly Dao, the other belonging to whom?
