"The Heavenly Emperor has actually broken through!" Wan Shixiong exclaimed in shock.
The combat power of the Heavenly Emperor was overwhelmingly invincible, comparable to the young supreme beings. And now he had broken through?!
If the Heavenly Emperor transcended to the Other Shore, they would all return in defeat, their pursuits of the Qilin and the bloodbath against the Heavenly Emperor would be nothing but a fool's dream!
"No, wait!" Hua Chang suddenly showed shock as if she had realized something.
"The Heavenly Emperor has not ascended to the Other Shore; he has advanced to a Land God!"
Hua Chang had been acquainted with the Heavenly Emperor for some time. Although they hadn't interacted much, she was aware of the realm he was in!
The combat power of the Heavenly Emperor shone brilliantly and invincibly, but he had only soared through the Ten Dragons Realm!
Hua Chang, witnessing Ye Chen's mighty rise, had subconsciously overlooked his realm, treating him as a powerhouse on her own level.
It was only now, as Ye Chen ascended in battle, that she suddenly remembered. The awe-inspiring Heavenly Emperor was merely a figure from the Ten Dragons Realm!
"Ten Dragons!" Wan Shixiong also seemed to recall something, the shock on his face no longer suppressible.
"Good heavens, this Heavenly Emperor is too defiant of the natural order; he was just at the Ten Dragons before!" exclaimed the Holy Maiden Feng Wu from the Baihua Palace.
Ye Chen's sudden ascension shocked the nine great supremes so much that it seemed as if they had been petrified.
"Boom—"
At the moment Ye Chen advanced to a Land God, a brilliant radiance exploded from within his body, illuminating the desolate heaven and earth, followed by massive clouds of Zi Yun condensing above his head.
"Godslaying Calamity!" Zi Feng's expression changed again and again, his heart ceaselessly shocked.
The invincible Heavenly Emperor was a figure from the Ten Dragons Realm, and the tribulation he triggered upon his ascension was the legendary Godslaying Calamity?!
This kind of Godslaying Calamity was the strongest heavenly tribulation, unique to the Grand Masters of the Other Shore. How could the Heavenly Emperor trigger such a terrifying tribulation by just advancing to a Land God?
However, Zi Feng and the others soon came to terms with it, because the Heavenly Emperor was too fiendish!
In the Ten Dragons Realm, the Heavenly Emperor could rival them and even fight a group of them single-handedly. Now, ascending to a Land God was naturally akin to incurring heaven's wrath and human resentment. The heavens themselves disapproved of such a being, hence the strongest tribulation was sent to annihilate him!
"One punch immortality, one punch invincibility!"
Ye Chen appeared like a titanic figure battling heaven and earth, his fists carrying an invincible aura of life and death, striking towards the terrifying and ominous Godslaying Calamity, wishing to shatter the boundless tribulation clouds.
As Ye Chen underwent a tribulation that was uniquely his, Wan Shixiong and Hua Chang fled from the region, fearful of being caught in such a fearsome tribulation.
"What's going on?"
"Wan Shixiong, Hua Chang, and others have fled. Why is the Heavenly Emperor in the midst of a tribulation?"
The dynamics of the battlefield changed in the blink of an eye, Wan Shixiong and others were overwhelmingly fierce, summoning terrifying killer weapons. But the Heavenly Emperor suddenly burst with radiant brilliance, directly scaring off the nine great supremes. This left all cultivators in the vicinity somewhat incredulous.
However, what was most unbelievable was that the mighty Heavenly Emperor was actually undergoing tribulation. Was he ascending to the Other Shore?
"There's no aura of the Other Shore on the Heavenly Emperor. Could it be that he is undergoing the tribulation of a Land God?" A cultivator wondered aloud.
Ye Chen's combat power was too glorious and invincible, leading others to subconsciously overlook his realm, presuming it was above the strongest battle immortals!
"The Heavenly Emperor is indeed undergoing the Immortal Calamity, because he was merely at the Ten Dragons before!" someone shouted.
This individual was a disciple from the Longyue Sacred Ground, who had previously scorned Ye Chen. But Ye Chen's imposing invincibility had earned his sincere respect, leaving him feeling ashamed about his past actions.
"Good lord!" some cultivators couldn't help but yell out. "Strength at the Ten Dragons Realm is already at the supreme level, has this world gone mad?"
This notion was so astonishing, it could even be described as fantastical!
Why were the young supremes invincible?
Because their realms were high, they controlled invincible Divine Skills, wielded weapons capable of destroying heavens and earth. Only such individuals were worthy of the title supreme!
Whether it was Wan Shixiong, Hua Chang, Zi Feng, or the First Sword, they all had exceedingly high realms, having transcended the strongest battle immortal, just one step away from Transcendence and marching to the Other Shore!
Only those of a very high realm could possess such overwhelming combat power, otherwise how could the young supremes be invincible?
Yet the existence of the Heavenly Emperor overturned all of this, as his realm was actually only at the Ten Dragons!
At the Ten Dragons, one could already wage war against the young supremes, and the terror of one versus many was beyond conceivable!
The cultivators present stared at the figure undergoing tribulation, their eyes filled with deep reverence. The existence of the Heavenly Emperor was too unfathomable!
How could such a monster be born in this world?
The mysterious Heavenly Emperor came from the Ninth Heaven. What kind of place was the Ninth Heaven, and how could it produce such a monster?
"Boom—"
Incessant Zi Lei thunder fell from the heaven, cleaving towards Ye Chen but all were scattered by his fist, posing no threat.
While undergoing tribulation, Ye Chen's aura surged unceasingly, from a Land God to a high-end battle immortal, to an ultimate battle immortal, and finally his realm halted at the strongest battle immortal.
Ye Chen's martial foundation was profound; the moment he broke through as a Land God, he leapt straight to the strongest, skipping decades of arduous cultivation.
However, Ye Chen was somewhat dissatisfied, because he sought to transcend even the strongest, possessing the qualifications to march toward the Other Shore directly.
Although he did not exceed the strongest, Ye Chen's combat strength soared, much more formidable than before!
"Wan Shixiong, Hua Chang, Zi Feng, First Sword... all of you come here, kneel down and sing conquest for the Heavenly Emperor!"
As the tribulation clouds dispersed, Ye Chen stood between heaven and earth, roaring at the nine great supremes. Having leapt to the strongest, he brimmed with confidence to sweep through enemies in all directions.
"Boom!"
A giant bell suddenly flew in, infinitely enlarging in the sky and directly enveloping Ye Chen within it. Zi Feng, the Saint Heir, came forcefully, intending to use this ultimate treasure to suppress and kill Ye Chen.
"Roar!"
Ye Chen punched through the heavens, sending the bell above his head flying, and he lunged at Zi Feng aggressively.
"Primordial Light!"
A dazzling divine light burst from Zi Feng's palm, like the first ray of light that split heaven and earth, sweeping towards Ye Chen to annihilate him.
However, with a single punch, Ye Chen dissipated the Primordial Light, displaying overwhelming strength, which caused Zi Feng's complexion to change.
Ye Chen had previously been just a fraction stronger than him, but after ascending to the rank of a Land God, his combat power had obviously surged by a great margin, much stronger than Zi Feng.
In the end, Ye Chen lashed out with five punches, driving back the Saint Heir Zi Feng.
"Buzz!" The world trembled lightly as a sword strike came.
The First Sword arrived, and he held a longsword, his bearing invincible. The longsword's swing shook the heavens, aiming to obliterate Ye Chen with a single strike.
"All external things are illusions. I only believe in my own body. Your sword is not stronger than my fist!"
The Sword Dao of the First Sword had reached an inconceivable realm, but Ye Chen looked upon him with disdain, confronting that heaven-opening sword with a straightforward blast, clean and sharp!
"What kind of martial skill, what kind of Divine Skill is this?"
Ye Chen's punching force was vast and mighty, conveying an indescribable sense of invincibility, as if it could shake one's soul, causing the First Sword to feel terror and involuntarily retreat.
The First Sword's Sword Dao was invincible and had never retreated before an enemy, but in the face of Ye Chen, he took his first step back in life.
"Spear of Destruction, annihilate all worlds!"
The First Sword departed with his sword, but another long spear came, its cold light flickering, aimed poisonously and viciously at Ye Chen's brow.
"A mere bird dares to be fierce!"
Ye Chen leaped powerfully, his strength surging, and naturally, he was filled with soaring pride. Leng Hanyu's treacherous attack prompted him to directly throw out a mighty punch, shaking the long spear.
As a result, Ye Chen remained unmoved on the spot, while Leng Hanyu's figure was forced to retreat rapidly, making it clear who was stronger and who was weaker.
"Rumble—"
Just after Ye Chen had repelled Leng Hanyu, the void above his head exploded, and a sky-covering millstone pressed down on him, its surface stained with patches of filthy blood, emanating a terrifying divine might. This was a supreme killing weapon that might have been tainted with sacred blood.
"Exquisite Tower, suppress the limitless!"
As the sky-covering millstone fell, a small tower emerged out of nothingness, the tower body enlarging infinitely, blocking Ye Chen's escape route.
This was the Exquisite Tower, capable of suppressing the eight desolations and sweeping the six harmonies with infinite might; the owner of this tower was the Saint Hua Chang.
"Yin Yang Gourd, release annihilation!" The young master from Yutian Sect descended, presenting a tremendous killing weapon from his body.
This was a Yin Yang Gourd holding the power of Taiyin and Taiyang, and once unleashed, it could grind everything to nothingness.
"Phoenix feathers emerge, the world trembles!" The Holy Maiden Feng Wu from Baihua Palace approached, and what she sacrificed was not a treasure, but the feathers shed by a True Phoenix.
The True Phoenix was an existence on par with Saints; its feathers were the sharpest parts of its body, more terrifying than any killing weapon.
"Kill!" Zi Feng, the First Sword, Leng Hanyu, and others attacked again.
At this moment, the nine supremacies moved simultaneously, not only unleashing their strongest Divine Skills but also presenting their mightiest killing weapons, seeking to crush Ye Chen at the same time.
After Ye Chen's breakthrough, the combat power he demonstrated was too formidable, easily forcing back the First Sword, Zi Feng, Leng Hanyu, and the others. This level of fighting prowess was incredibly brilliant, far surpassing that of Wan Shixiong.
Such a mighty and invincible Heavenly Emperor caused the nine supremacies to shudder to their cores, deciding to first put aside all differences and deal with Ye Chen together.
Nine young supremacies, nine unprecedented treasures, attempting to suppress one young supremacy—certainly, a scene of complete domination was anticipated.
However, the scene they all hoped for did not come to pass, because their enemy was the Heavenly Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor created miracles!
"Boom!"
An earthen cover flew out from Ye Chen's body. This cover was ugly and unpleasant to look at, but upon its appearance, it automatically enlarged, forming an absolute defense in the void that steadfastly withstood the onslaught of the nine great killing weapons.
"Crap, what is this thing?" Wan Shixiong and others were shocked once again.
The origins of the Heavenly Emperor were a mystery, and his combat power even more splendid, compelling them to collaborate in a ploy to kill him.
They thought that by unleashing the strongest Divine Skills and sacrificing the mightiest killing weapons, they could slay the Heavenly Emperor right there and then. Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Emperor possessed a treasured artifact. This simple earthen cover transformed into a celestial canopy, blocking all their killing weapons.
Whether it was the sky-covering millstone stained with sacred blood, the Exquisite Tower that suppressed the limitless, the indestructible True Phoenix Feathers, or the soul-shattering Soul-Losing Bell… none of the nine great killing weapons could surpass the heavens' canopy, all were blocked by this unsightly earthen cover!
"Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot, you really are infinitely majestic. One lid alone can isolate everything. It is unimaginable what you were like at your peak!" Standing beneath the Heaven Swallowing Demon Lid, Ye Chen strode boldly, arriving at the position of the nine supremacies.
"Heavenly Emperor Fist!"
Ye Chen radiated an invincible aura, and with a simple punch, he made the whole world seethe.
Ye Chen's punch was invincible, filled with unshakable confidence, striking at the nine people with one blow!
The reason why he ascended to be a Land God was due to the transformation of his strongest will, comprehending his own ultimate martial art, the Heavenly Emperor Fist!
"What!"
The unleashing of Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Fist caused Wan Shixiong and others to change their expressions in unison. This single punch's invincible intent made their scalps tingle and their souls tremble.
