Eternal Holy Emperor
Chapter 1728 - 1545: Thunderbolt Light Gate
In the Nine-layered Tribulation Light and Thunder Sea, a Thunderbolt Light Gate suddenly appeared!
No one knew where it came from, nor where it went, as if it had existed for eternity, bearing the immortality and desolation of countless epochs, with an overwhelming aura beyond imagination.
"What is this?"
Everyone suddenly focused their attention, looking at the Thunderbolt Light Gate in deep shock.
Outside, Dan Chen, Qin Jiuyou, the Old Immortal, and other peak great powers revealed expressions of disbelief, even the Ancient Monarch hidden in the shadows felt the same, swiftly breaking into the Pill Ruins Ancient World, and gazing at the Thunderbolt Light Gate standing at the pinnacle of the Nine-layered Tribulation Light and Thunder Sea, far from the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea.
Though it was condensed from the tribulation light and thunder, it seemed as if it truly existed forever.
Because it was too real, every pattern, every mark, every ancient character was so clear, yet so unfathomable, as if it inscribed all things of the Chaos Ancient Universe, or carried the sediment of countless ancient epochs.
"The mysterious Thunderbolt Light Gate, what does it signify, why do I feel as if it buries the greatest secret under the heavens?"
The Ancient Monarch spoke softly, lost in his own thoughts, his voice not loud, yet caught by everyone present, and only with careful sensing could they feel his presence, inducing fear.
Because the one who spoke must be the Ancient Monarch, otherwise he could not appear here without their notice, but even more shocking were his words.
In the Thunderbolt Light Gate lies the greatest secret under the heavens!?
What did these words mean, was it not merely a light gate manifested from the Heavenly Tribulation? How could it possibly involve so many ancient great secrets?
At this moment, Dan Chen, the Old Immortal powers, Qin Jiuyou, and other great powers from the outside world could not help but appear, having also heard the words of the Ancient Monarch, among them Dan Chen couldn’t help but clasp his fists and asked, "Ancestor, why do you say so?"
The Heavenly Great Abilities also looked at the Ancient Monarch with reverence, not daring to meet his gaze directly, yet they were listening.
The figure of the Ancient Monarch was blurred, his entire being surrounded by the Dao, making his true appearance indecipherable, carrying a supreme Dao majesty, yet he did not remain silent, saying: "Heavenly Tribulation has always been one of the greatest secrets under the heavens, no one knows where it comes from, nor where it goes, it always appears abruptly, and only appears when one breaks through a great realm, or occasionally when a peerless being or heaven-defying divine treasure is born, and even touching an ancient taboo will cause it to descend."
"However, no matter who it is, they cannot escape the scrutiny of the Heavenly Tribulation, nor evade it, even the strongest emperor or immortal king stands no exception."
"The origin of the Heavenly Tribulation is too ancient, unknown to anyone, yet there is a saying that it comes from the Origin Land, the ultimate origin that carries everything."
"Precisely because of this, Heavenly Tribulation is the most ancient, and also contains the greatest secret under the heavens."
"There was once an emperor who said that if one were to master the Heavenly Tribulation, they might know all the secrets of the world, such as the Origin Land, eternal immortality, transcending destiny, the mystery of the Chaos Sea’s and the Origin Land’s initial birth, and so on."
"Therefore, I believe, if that’s the case, entering that Thunderbolt Light Gate might reveal some of the greatest secrets, even if not the greatest secret under the heavens, it would be ancient secrets unknown to the world."
Upon hearing this, everyone was astounded, for the Thunderbolt Light Gate was rumored to harbor such earth-shattering secrets, truly unbelievable.
Naturally, even so, no one dared to rush forward, because this belonged to the Combat Saint King’s Great Tribulation, and it was merely a Great Power Tribulation, which peers of the same level could not resist, if a great power forced their way in, the tribulation would certainly escalate to a corresponding level, not just terrifying one or two times over, but a complete elevation, putting great powers in a far more terrifying tribulation than the Combat Saint King, anyone who attempted would be disintegrated.
Precisely because of this, even an Ancient Monarch would not dare to rush forward, for if they provoked the heavens, causing a king-level apocalypse great tribulation to descend, who knows how many times more terrifying it would be compared to the Combat Saint King’s.
At least, the Ancient Monarch self-admitted that he could not withstand it, this Pill Ruins Ancient World would inevitably collapse, possibly affecting the entire Pill Realm, making it not worth the cost.
"Now, we can only wait for the Combat Saint King to assault, I believe if it were him, he would surely want to know the myriad secrets within the Thunderbolt Light Gate." The Ancient Monarch gazed at the Combat Saint King crossing the tribulation, speaking softly.
Rumble—
At the same time, Ye Chen forcefully charged into the Tribulation Light and Thunder Sea.
As many as five layers of Tribulation Light and Thunder Sea, each layer more blazing and immense than the last, fully enveloping the entire sky, the void had long been completely shattered, the starry sky covered, the previously surviving remnants of stars had already completely disintegrated in the Tribulation Light and Thunder Sea, leaving nothing behind.
Ye Chen charged upward alone, displaying unmatched strength. The blood qi on the top of his skull exploded and spread, completely annihilating the vast tribulation light and thunder crashing toward him.
At the same time, he used the Chaos Tripod to pave the way ahead, breaking through layers of tribulation light and thunder seas. He aimed to rush up above the Ninth Layer Tribulation Light and Thunder Sea, thus avoiding bombardment from the combined assault of the five-layer tribulation light and thunder sea.
Though it seemed simple, it was exceedingly difficult, fraught with endless perils.
The danger posed by such tribulation light and thunder seas far exceeded anyone’s imagination. Even as formidable as Ye Chen, he began to suffer cuts and bruises. Though his Chaos Sacred Body was not fully invincible, it wasn’t entirely perfected, lacking much. The ferocious bombardment of tribulation light and thunder would crumble Ancient Weapons of Great Power Level into dust.
Ye Chen once killed several Great Powers and acquired corresponding Great Power level armor. He wore it not long ago, hoping to reduce some damage. However, it barely withstood anything, being obliterated into ash under the fierce bombardment of the five-layer tribulation light and thunder seas.
Poof, poof, poof—
Soon after, scars appeared all over Ye Chen, deeply etched and bleeding profusely, continuously staining the tribulation light and thunder sea. However, he mastered the Holy Body Regeneration Technique, allowing him to instantly heal, and with a strong Chaos Origin, he remained fearless.
Yet, the ascent above the nine-layered tribulation light and thunder seas was incredibly difficult. The higher he went, the more terrifying the tribulation light and thunder became. Even genuine beings began to appear later on.
Creatures like the Roc, True Dragon, Undying Immortal Phoenix, Qiongqi, Zhu Yan, etc., all terrifyingly formidable, manifested within the heavenly tribulation, each appearing so real, possessing power beyond ordinary Great Power, akin to Holy Spirits of the Mythical Era reborn.
Moreover, vast worlds emerged and disappeared cyclically. Each world-ending brought Ye Chen the most dreadful injuries, causing him to cough blood, body entirely wounded, even skin split and bones cracking constantly.
Ye Chen, while confronting all heavenly Holy Spirits, simultaneously charged through the tribulation light and thunder sea, enduring the terrifying crisis of world destruction repeatedly, facing ultimate perils. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
And there was more, with various legendary tribulations arising in the heavenly tribulation. Emperor Weapon Tribulations also appeared, such as the Heavenly Burial Tablet, Eight Trigrams Mirror, Desolate Great Halberd, Human Emperor Tower, Heavenly Feather Holy Sword, Cosmic Cauldron... all once Emperor and Supreme Immortal’s weapons, now manifested, adding to the prior Chaos Holy Spirit and world destruction. Such dread and peril made everyone’s scalp tingle.
Even Ancient Monarchs watching all this took a deep breath, shaken.
Such monumental tribulation was extraordinarily timeless and impeccable, far beyond imagination. At least, in ancient times when Monarchs contended with Great Power Tribulation, it was nothing as terrifying as this, a world of difference as if comparing sky and earth.
Even though the Monarch’s tribulation was incredibly fearsome, by comparison, it was of an entirely different magnitude.
Everyone was astounded, filled with dread, as if their hearts would burst forth within.
At this moment, another extraordinary figure appeared in the Pill Ruins Ancient World, graceful and ethereal, enveloped in celestial mist, akin to a celestial Xuan Fairy of the nine heavens, imposing and untouchable.
Although she was a woman, she was also a female Great Power. More importantly, her qi mechanism was terrifyingly intense, with bloodline power roaring like tsunamis and mountains crumbling, an unimaginable Supreme Bloodline Power.
Upon her arrival, all Pill Emperor Clan’s powerhouses bowed in salute, even Dan Xu and Dan Chen included, while an eminent Ancient Monarch also nodded in acknowledgment.
Indeed, she was the Emperor’s daughter of the Pill Emperor Clan, the most noble of her generation within the entire Emperor Clan.
Her status was even more exalted than an Ancient Monarch.
Her appearance undoubtedly drew attention from all directions.
The Emperor’s daughter, the most noble person, harboring the mightiest Emperor Bloodline within, possessing Innate Holy Treasure, unmatched and peerless, who could rival her, also acclaimed as a worthy inheritor to ascend into the Emperor Domain once more.
Her overwhelming qi mechanism made even a nearby young Supreme of the Dwarf Clan feel oppressed, causing his expression to change—this was the disparity.
Though both were young Supremes and Great Powers, their strengths differed vastly.
This distinction was evident with Dan Yang. Despite being a young Supreme and a leading figure of the younger generation within the Pill Emperor Clan, he was merely such in this era, whereas the Emperor’s daughter was the highest leader of the entire Emperor Clan, incomparable.
However, Dan Yang’s gaze towards the Emperor’s daughter was filled with admiration.
As the unique Emperor’s daughter within the clan, the ancient Heavenly Pride, she naturally garnered admiration from all young elites within, with countless Heavenly Pride hopeful of being her Daoist couple, treading the absolute peak of the Dao together.
