Emperor Tian had arrived!
No one knew just how powerful his true body was — crossing the cosmos, his body blurred, yet making all the heavenly stars rumble and tremble, as if about to fall.
Everyone’s expressions changed — this was the young supreme being of the ancient human road, undefeated to this day, with no one able to match blades with him in all these years. Now he was finally about to make his move.
He had arrived late, arriving just in time to see the beautiful White Tiger Sacred Envoy wither away, the powerful Qilin Sacred Envoy turned to bloody mud, several of his capable subordinates perishing here.
At this moment, no matter how cold and resolute his will was, he would inevitably be deeply moved — even a heart of iron and stone would ripple with turmoil.
“BOOM!”
The cosmic void shattered, opening up a chaotic passage — Emperor Tian’s true body was truly world-endingly terrifying, everything in his path turning to ash, all of it destroyed.
Meteors, asteroids… all shattered under the shockwaves. He manifested in the world like a deity, all living things trembling.
“He’s charged into the sacred body’s Tribulation!”
People cried out in shock — within such a lightning punishment, the destructive force one would have to endure was unimaginable; even Great Sages avoided it, fearing it might trigger terrible consequences.
No one had expected Emperor Tian to actually enter — unmatched in power, his entire body radiant, like an ancient emperor of old resurrected, overlooking all under heaven.
“BOOM!”
Emperor Tian’s true body entered the sea of lightning, raising his fist to strike down at Ye Fan, unrivaled in power — this fluctuation left the Sage Kings present in despair, utterly beyond what they could ever hope to achieve, capable of destroying all beings under heaven!
“BOOM!”
Two golden beams shot from Ye Fan’s eyes, his entire body radiant, as he charged forward carrying the supreme sea of lightning, confronting Emperor Tian head-on.
The boundless divine firmament, the endless Heavenly Tribulation — Ye Fan opened his mouth and inhaled it all, nearly drawing it completely dry, then concentrated it all into his right fist, transforming it into world-shaking divine power.
Everyone gasped in shock — what kind of powerful physical body could this be? Ye Fan’s entire form turned golden, like a true god of the heavens.
This scene was too terrifying — the vast sea of lightning, the boundless Heavenly Tribulation, nearly drained dry, swallowed into Ye Fan’s body, causing him to emit boundless light!
At this moment, the sound of scripture-chanting emanated from within his body, and divine statues appeared behind him one after another, each one himself — some furious, some majestic, some sorrowful, some stern, each different.
He swallowed this vast Heavenly Tribulation in an instant, truly the act of a genuine god, meant to punish the mortal realm, frightening people until their legs trembled.
In a blaze of radiant light, Ye Fan’s right fist smashed out, clashing across the cosmic void with Emperor Tian in a single earth-shaking blow!
This was an utterly terrifying scene, one that left even Great Sages horrified — this was a vast light of Heavenly Tribulation, one that could destroy countless Sage Kings without a second thought.
An absolute, world-ending terror — all the heavenly stars trembled, and many nearby asteroids exploded, blooming like fireworks!
This was truly astonishing — two young supreme beings clashing in a single blow across the void, this magnificent, world-ending spectacle shaking everyone to their core.
All the heroes present were terrified, fleeing in all directions — had they lingered even a moment longer, they surely would have been reduced to ash.
This was the strongest killing move Ye Fan currently had at his disposal — no matter what heavenly being or spirit, under such a golden fist strike, all would turn to Tribulation ash.
The effect was astonishing — who knew how many Yin spirits were turned to dust; brilliant light erupted from the center, like ten suns exploding at once!
This kind of ripple, this incomparable impact, like a god manifesting to strike, left even the Great Sages changing expression — it was too terrifying, unrivaled in power!
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
The heavens collapsed and the earth split apart, the ten directions of the cosmic sky caving in, swaths of cosmic dark abyss stretching without end — this entire region was destroyed.
Anyone below the rank of Great Sage, upon witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but tremble, nearly collapsing limp within the cosmic void, unable to bear such overwhelming pressure.
Two figures, like eagles swooping and rocs circling, like tigers pouncing and dragons leaping, tangled together, clashing again and again — this was simply unimaginable, a pure life-and-death confrontation.
Ye Fan had just entered the Sage King realm, and this was the most powerful strike he could currently unleash — capable of killing Sage Kings across the heavens!
Divine radiance submerged this place — this was a concentrated catastrophe of heaven and earth, condensed into Ye Fan’s golden fist strike, destroying heaven and annihilating earth.
The cosmos split in four directions, the heavens and earth collapsing, primordial chaos surging — it was as if heaven and earth were being created anew here, the shockwaves shattering countless meteors and asteroids.
“This is too terrifying, simply like a legend come to life!”
In the distance, people murmured — the Sage Kings had all despaired, the Stone Man Sacred Spirit, Qi Tian, and the Yin Spirits all wore grim, unsightly expressions.
Emperor Tian truly was frighteningly formidable — no one knew what kind of bloodline he carried, how powerful he truly was, that he could actually withstand this strike, holding his own in the fierce confrontation.
One had to remember, this was the sacred body’s unrivaled Heavenly Tribulation!
Yet he had actually blocked it, contending here with Ye Fan, neck and neck, fighting until the star field trembled, the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting, stars exploding one after another — this was a kind of absolute, world-ending terror.
People were terrified beyond words!
At this moment, everyone’s souls felt as if they had exploded, filled with deep awe — truly worthy of the title of unrivaled among the younger generation.
Ye Fan and Emperor Tian were the mightiest talents of the ancient road, beyond dispute, having become synonymous with invincibility in people’s hearts.
Emperor Tian had begun cultivating early, having entered the Sage King realm many years prior, naturally possessing deep and profound cultivation. Ye Fan had only just reached this realm, but he wielded the sacred body’s Tribulation, concentrated into his golden fist, fighting with everything he had.
In this way, one couldn’t say who suppressed whom — one had a higher cultivation realm, the other wielded a legendary sea of lightning; this, too, could be considered fair, evenly matched.
Cultivation realm against the sacred body’s lightning Tribulation — this was a fierce, great collision, like a comet striking an ancient world of life, bursting forth in the most brilliant sparks.
An invincible confrontation, the mightiest powerhouses contending!
Ye Fan and Emperor Tian’s duel — like a roc splitting the heavens, like a dragon soaring through the void, like a demon ape leaping across the sky, dodging and weaving, fast as lightning, making heaven and earth tremble.
With a rumbling boom, they finally separated, each charging to one side — this was a duel that shook the mortal realm, a supreme battle at the Sage King realm, one that could be recorded in history and commented upon for ages.
It was simply too fast — many people’s thoughts couldn’t even keep up before it had already ended.
Rumble!
That vanished sea of lightning reappeared, blanketing the sky and crashing down, submerging Ye Fan — everywhere was a vast expanse, filled with blazing, world-ending lightning.
One could only imagine how swift that earlier clash had been — so fast that the Tribulation lightning itself had stalled, and it had already happened, all completed in the space of a spark.
The two young supreme beings separated, each standing on one side, the sea of lightning vast, separating them.
“Strictly speaking, this could be considered a fair clash — a higher cultivation realm against the concentrated heavenly punishment of the sacred body Tribulation. In terms of natural advantage, neither side gained the upper hand,” someone murmured.
People’s hearts surged with excitement, terrified by the combat strength these two had displayed.
That earth-shattering performance just now was simply like a legendary era reborn — it was the legendary clash of peerless young lords, a preview of the life-and-death battle between young emperors to come.
No one doubted that this was rare in all of history — even Great Sages in their youth couldn’t compare; only ancient supreme beings could achieve such a feat.
“The sacred body’s Tribulation truly is too powerful — relying on it to duel, he can rival someone of much higher cultivation, making even Qi Tian, Guardian of the ancient road, retreat.”
This was people’s truest impression — Ye Fan’s heavenly punishment was exceedingly rare, seldom seen throughout history, far too astonishing.
“Emperor Tian truly is terrifying as well, able to move in and out of such a lightning punishment unaffected — it shows that back when he underwent his own Sage King Tribulation, it wasn’t inferior to the sacred body’s Tribulation.”
People marveled, drawing this conclusion — it could only be this way, otherwise how could Emperor Tian forcibly withstand this Tribulation completely unscathed?
What shocked them most was that Emperor Tian hadn’t been forced to undergo Tribulation again passively — clearly he either possessed some world-shaking secret treasure on his person, or some formation array that could isolate him from Tribulation lightning.
In this world, apart from the Primordial Emperor Wushi’s Heaven-Deceiving Array, there were only a few others of its kind — he might possess one of them.
Emperor Tian couldn’t be seen clearly, a blurred figure standing in the dark cosmos, watching the boundless sea of lightning, only a pair of sharp, overpowering eyes visible.
This was Emperor Tian — able to charge into the sacred body’s Heavenly Tribulation, unharmed himself, truly defying the heavens!
Since Ye Fan’s rise, this was the first time he had encountered someone who could forcibly withstand his Tribulation — such a person’s body must be unrivaled in strength, otherwise he would have already been destroyed, turned into a mist of blood.
Too terrifying! The world knew that the sacred body from the Emperor’s Burial Star possessed a powerful physical form, boasting a so-called indestructible golden battle body — yet Emperor Tian possessed a body no weaker than his, with an incomparable bloodline constitution.
This was truly shocking news — Emperor Tian was not only overwhelmingly powerful in mana, but his body itself was this formidable!
Ye Fan was moved — someone who could move in and out of his Tribulation had finally appeared, truly powerful indeed, worthy of being recognized by the heavens, chosen by the Source of the Dao.
Emperor Tian stood in the cosmic void, his figure blurred, yet in harmony with the Dao, becoming the master of heaven and earth, achieving true unity of Dao and self, heaven, earth, and man fused as one!
Just then, another figure appeared in the void, his entire body cloaked in divine robes, emitting a faint light, impossible to tell if male or female, radiating an immortal divinity.
People gasped in shock — this was undoubtedly another young supreme being arriving!
With a rumbling boom, this person carried a different kind of Dao, shattering all things, piercing through the cosmos, arriving right before Ye Fan, striking directly.
This kind of flamboyance, this kind of domineering air, this kind of “I alone am supreme” divine bearing left people trembling.
“Charging into the sacred body’s Tribulation really is a good way to test the strength of one’s physical body.” At some point, unnoticed, Daoist Baijie had also arrived, murmuring this quietly.
All the assembled heroes gasped upon hearing this — truly worthy of being called young supreme beings, actually using Ye Fan’s unrivaled Tribulation to temper and test the strength of their own bodies.
“BOOM!”
Ye Fan gathered the boundless sea of lightning throughout the cosmos, unleashing an invincible punch of intent, clashing head-on with this person — in that instant of crossing paths, both their bodies shuddered.
“Too powerful — this person is no weaker than Emperor Tian, who is he? Is it the Great Demon God Gu Huang, or the Human King, or perhaps the peerless Goddess arriving?!”
People murmured — only these few individuals could possess such divine might, overshadowing their entire generation.
“If the sacred body’s Tribulation is only this much, it’s truly nothing much at all. Without needing any mana, a single tremor of my true body could shatter you!” Emperor Tian said coldly — this was a dignified voice, like that of a young emperor, shaking people’s hearts.
This was the first time he had spoken, possessing an aura that made people tremble — only he would dare say such words; who else would dare confront the sacred body’s physical form and claim their true body alone could shatter it!
Pang Bo roared long and loud, about to rush over to assist — they had only just entered the Sage King realm, their Dao cultivation not yet reaching such profound depths; he feared Ye Fan might suffer a disadvantage.
Ye Fan sent a secret voice transmission, telling him there was no need to come.
BOOM!
A third world-shocking aura appeared, blood surging with vigor, very likely another young supreme being arriving, eyeing the scene covetously, also wanting to make a move.
“If it’s only this much, you’ve truly disappointed me. I’ll send you on your way, ending this quickly.” Emperor Tian spoke, his true body moving.
Ye Fan’s expression remained calm, undergoing his Tribulation within the sea of lightning, showing not the slightest hint of tension, speaking evenly: “All of you, come at me together.”
The moment these words left his mouth, all sound across the entire starry sky vanished — everyone froze, their minds stunned. Wasn’t this… too arrogant?!
But immediately after, people came to their senses, their hearts shaking wildly, stirring up monstrous waves, all of them utterly shaken!
That was an enormous Heavenly Tribulation — within the chaotic sea of lightning, one figure after another gradually manifested, walking forward step by step, like emperor after emperor being reborn.
No, not “like” — those were unmistakably emperors, to be precise, the ancient Great Emperors in their youth!
That aura was simply too terrifying, unrivaled in power, making every single person tremble.
At this moment, even the elder generation stood dumbstruck, sensing some kind of profound truth, their entire bodies shaking, sensing that something had happened.
Emperor Tian’s gaze froze, and he drew a cold breath — for the first time, his expression truly changed. The sacred body’s Tribulation hadn’t stopped — it was only truly beginning now. He recognized some of these humanoid lightning figures!
