"Heavenly Emperor Rune, Purify Void, Purify Spirit, Purify Heaven!"
Ye Chen radiated once again, an ancient rune emerged, emitting dazzling golden light, pressing down on the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven.
The Heavenly Emperor Rune reappears, binding everything!
"No!"
The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven had been previously bound by the Heavenly Emperor Rune, which allowed Ye Chen to suppress him with ease, bringing him into unprecedented peril.
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor Rune reappears, clearly aiming to deliver a decisive kill, to utterly annihilate him.
In an instant, regret blossomed in the heart of the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, regretting having provoked Ye Chen.
If he had lain low, avoiding harm to others, today's disaster would never have happened!
If today's disaster hadn't occurred, he could have seized the dragon vein and gained the upper hand!
If he could occupy the dragon vein, he could surpass the Saint Realm and become an eternal legend. If he could become that legend...
But now, everything vanished into smoke and clouds, all of the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven's schemes turned into pipe dreams.
Even if he survives this battle, his Dao heart will be imbalanced, he might even fall from the Great Saint Realm!
Considering all the causality and entanglements, the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven felt regret and harbored immense hatred!
The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven hated Ye Chen deeply. If Ye Chen hadn't existed, how could he have ended up like this?
"Yalina, wake up!"
Suddenly, Ye Chen roared, forming a massive sound wave, awakening Yalina's slumbering consciousness.
"Huh?"
Yalina's divine sense recovered, taking control of her body, confusion evident on her face.
"Ping Tian's will in your spirit stage has weakened to the extreme, quickly devour his will and ascend to the Supreme Saint Realm!" Ye Chen's eyes shot out a beam of light, entering Yalina's sea of consciousness.
This was an intent of the Heavenly Emperor's Fist, possessing the power to suppress all heavens, aiding Yalina in devouring the Great Saint's will!
"Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven!"
A spiritual light blossomed in Yalina's sea of consciousness, followed by an influx of memories, granting her full understanding.
The existence of the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven was extremely mysterious; although Yalina knew of him, she was unaware of his origins.
But with this burst of spiritual light and countless memory scenes flooding in, Yalina understood everything!
"The Divine Lord ended up like this, all his past friends have perished... it's the evil deed of Ping Tian!"
Yalina held deep affection for the Celestial Court, seeing it demolished by Ping Tian filled her with boundless fury and a strong urge to kill.
"Yalina, this person's wicked deeds make him undeserving to live; quickly devour him to avenge this great grudge!"
Ye Chen, emanating a sacred aura and wielding the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot, suppressed the will of the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, allowing Yalina to devour it.
"God-given divine pattern, devour!"
After understanding the evil deeds of the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, Yalina exuded a fierce aura, with an anomalous change occurring in her sea of consciousness.
"Boom!"
A rune condensed in Yalina's sea of consciousness, a divine method bestowed by Ye Chen, enabling her to devour the Great Saint's will.
"No, no, no, Yalina, you cannot kill me!"
The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, already precarious under Ye Chen's suppression, was frightened and pleaded for mercy as Yalina suddenly unleashed fury.
Ping Tian was the most powerful being between heaven and earth, standing at the pinnacle of myriad worlds, worshipped by countless beings.
Having lost here, even if he didn't perish, his Dao heart would be in chaos.
Thus, the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven didn't want to fail, didn't want to be banished from Earth!
"The Divine Lord's grace nurtured me like a mountain, a second life kindness even; you not only killed him but turned him into a puppet—how could I not avenge such a great enmity?"
"Moreover, you not only killed the Divine Lord but also many of my friends—this grudge is irreconcilable, how could I let you go?"
"Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, die!"
Yalina displayed a sense of madness, the rune blossomed like a Dao flower in her sea of consciousness, suppressing and devouring Ping Tian.
The former master of the Celestial Court was Yalina's guide, lavishing countless effort on her. He was indeed Yalina's benefactor.
But the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven descended, slaughtered the former master, and turned him into a killing puppet—how could Yalina forgive him?
Moreover, some Other Shore Grand Masters and Land Gods in the Celestial Court had good relations with Yalina.
Yet none were spared, all being slain by Ping Tian. Yalina was furiously enraged, wishing to tear him into pieces—let alone sparing him!
"Rumble!"
A rune blossomed in Yalina's sea of consciousness, devouring the will of the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, transforming into the purest power, infusing into her being.
"Ping Tian Great Path?"
As Yalina devoured Ping Tian's will, she comprehended the Ping Tian Great Path, an extremely domineering Dao fruit.
"Ping Tian, surrender the hopeless struggle, your doom is inevitable!" Ye Chen's voice, like the chant of the Great Path, was transmitted into Yalina's sea of consciousness, resounding in the heart of the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven.
"Ye Chen, you've tricked me this time. Next time we meet, you're a sworn enemy. Just you wait!" Ping Tian's will was near collapse, but his malice was fiercer, his hatred deeper, extremely unwilling about this defeat.
"Next time we meet, it will be life and death—that, I agree with!" Ye Chen said. "But, how did I trick you?"
"Your current failure is purely due to lack of ability, it has nothing to do with me tricking you whatsoever!"
Ye Chen scorned the unwillingness to fail of the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, blatantly ridiculing him.
"The Earth's repulsive force won't last long. By that time, the cosmic warriors will descend upon Earth, let's see how you can block them!" roared the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven's will. "My true form is just beyond Earth; once the repulsive force vanishes, I'll be the first to descend and kill you!"
"Come boldly!" Ye Chen declared with grandeur. "I'm destined to become a Great Saint, but this path is fraught with obstacles. It's perfect for slaughtering you to establish my might and ascend the throne!"
There are forty-nine Great Saints in the cosmos; whenever a new Great Saint is born, an old saint falls.
For Ye Chen to ascend to become a Great Saint, he must slay one and seize their position.
Among the forty-nine Great Saints, Ye Chen has the deepest grudge with Ping Tian; they will eventually confront each other in life or death!
"Ye Chen, you're doomed!"
"I've befriended many Great Saints; I can easily ask them to join forces and suppress you, this calamity!"
"You possess the Divine Beast Qilin and the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot, treasures that can drive Great Saints mad. You're doomed!"
"I know you're Dragon Esteem's son-in-law, but once my true form descends, even Dragon Esteem won't be able to protect you!"
"Ye Chen, I'll make you suffer, let you die in pain, torment, and regret!"
Ping Tian's will was increasingly weakening, on the verge of collapse, yet his hatred was boundless, and he continually intimidated Ye Chen to make him panic.
"You are nothing but a failure now, so your words mean nothing!" Ye Chen replied. "I'll borrow your words — only power is eternal! If you want me to suffer and regret, use power to crush me; why bother with all this chatter?"
"Boom!"
Once more, a rune emerged from Ye Chen's body, entering the sea of consciousness of Yalina to eradicate Ping Tian's will.
The Heavenly Emperor's rune possessed invincible power, capable of binding everything.
However, this binding was extremely short-lived, lasting only for a few breaths.
Moreover, this power could not be used lightly; three times was Ye Chen's limit. If it exceeded three times, Ye Chen's body would be compromised.
Ye Chen had used it twice already, now it was the third time!
"Rumble!"
Yalina's sea of consciousness erupted in storm, accelerating the collapse of Ping Tian's will, about to vanish in the blink of an eye.
"Ye Chen, once my true form descends, the first one I'll kill is you!"
Ping Tian's will surged, bursting out with a boundless hatred, then shattered suddenly, transforming into the purest power, merging into Yalina's body.
"Palace Condensation!"
At the moment of Ping Tian's will collapse, Yalina's aura skyrocketed, becoming somewhat terrifying.
At this moment, Yalina exuded sanctity, a palace forming within her, shaking the skies.
Yalina was originally in the Other Shore Realm, with extremely solid foundations. Having devoured Ping Tian's will and comprehended the Ping Tian Great Path, she instantly formed the Other Shore Palace!
Furthermore, the palace was not the end; her cultivation continued to rise, giving an impression of transcending into sainthood.
"Swoosh!"
Radiance shone brightly outside Yalina's body, forming a large cocoon, as if she was about to undergo some transformation.
"A Great Saint stands bold among worlds, mastering countless divine methods, the ultimate end of cultivation!"
"Yalina fused Ping Tian's will, inheriting his Ping Tian Great Path, who knows if there's hope for her to become a saint!"
Ye Chen watched the gigantic light cocoon, eyes sparkling with brilliance, examining Yalina's state, calculating her chances of becoming a saint.
…
"Bastard!"
Outside Earth, a towering figure stood, hovering at Earth's perimeter.
At this moment, this towering existence erupted in terror, shocking the void in all directions, shattering some surrounding meteors, showcasing supreme horror.
"Ye Chen, how dare you trick me like this, it's an utter disgrace!"
"Just you wait, once my true form descends, the first one I'll kill is you!"
"Scoundrel, to devour my will, scoundrel, scoundrel, scoundrel!"
This was indeed the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven; his true form had been here, aiming to seize the opportunity and be the first to descend upon Earth.
Moreover, his will had descended upon Earth for years, laying out various plans!
Yet Ye Chen's emergence disrupted everything, making three years of toil futile, even his will was devoured in the end.
The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven was defeated, utterly defeated!
This defeat was a tremendous disgrace, leaving the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven unwilling, fostering intense loathing towards Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, you truly deserve death!"
Ping Tian's true form was terrifyingly immense, emitting an aura that blanketed the heavens, terrifying to the extreme.
Moreover, he exhibited anger currently, destroying stars with a single move, vibrating outer space. That kind of power was startling, beyond words.
Saint Realm is the pinnacle of cultivation, wielding inconceivable mighty power. If not for Earth's strong will, it would have been intruded and wrecked by the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven long ago.
"Ping Tian, were you driven away by Ye Chen too?"
While the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven was frenzied, a similarly towering figure emerged from the void.
"Qian Mei!" Seeing this person, the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven calmed down.
The Qian Mei Great Saint was another unfortunate one, driven away by Ye Chen earlier, sharing a common enemy.
"Qian Mei was driven away, you were driven away too. Just how terrifying is this Ye Chen?"
As the two Great Saints met eyes, another towering figure appeared, a third Great Saint descended!
