Chapter 2846: Don't Count Anymore

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The laws of the four emperor weapons hung in the east, west, south, and north, buzzing and stirring, their ultimate emperor might linking together to trap the Chaos Ding in the center. Though lacking an emperor's divine intelligence, they carried the mission from the heavens: to erase that great cauldron.

"Don't scare me."

"One against four, and I'll still beat you all to tears."

The Chaos Ding was restless, darting wildly through the sky and making a racket. Its master had once taken on sixty-four emperors alone, and as his sacred weapon, facing four was nothing.

However, as it leaped about, it suddenly stopped.

This wasn't its choice; it was due to what followed the four emperor weapons—the law bodies of the ultimate emperor weapons manifesting one after another. There were the Tai Xu Long Jian, Wu Jin Tie Gun, Kunlun Shen Jing, Jiu Huang Di Jian, Da Xia Long Zhu, Xian Wu Di Jian, Zhu Tian Zhen Tu, Shen Dian Tian Yin, Tian Que Di Wang Yin, Zhu Tian Di Jian, Di Qi Jiang Mo Chu, and many more—too numerous to count. They shone like brilliant suns, filling the vast sky, each radiating emperor dao immortal light, and each representing a supreme emperor.

"One, two, three, four..."

"Don't count them—one hundred and thirty are all here."

"What a lineup!"

The expressions of the people changed once again.

Of course! For a sacred weapon to reach such a transcendent level isn't a joke. Lightning tribulations might not be enough, but the law bodies of the emperor weapons certainly were in number. From Xuan Huang, one hundred and thirty emperor weapons were present without exception—a gathering unseen through countless eons of change. The emperor dao visions filling the sky were truly unparalleled in history.

They had to thank the Chaos Ding; without it, who could witness such a逆天 scene?

"This era really has so many myths!"

The Ren Wang finally stood up, gazing at the sky in a daze, spotting the sacred weapon of the Ren Huang.

"The commotion from a sacred weapon's tribulation is just too massive."

Long Ye clicked his tongue, glancing several times at the Tai Xu Long Jian, the sacred weapon of the Tai Xu Long Di.

Like him, the heirs of the various emperor dao lineages were all lost in thought. Having seen emperor dao law bodies before, witnessing the emperor weapons' law bodies now filled them with nostalgia.

Buzz! Buzz!

The Ling Xiao Bao Dian trembled, whether in shock or astonishment, no one could say. It knew the great cauldron was extraordinary but never imagined it would advance before its master, drawing down emperor dao divine punishment and summoning one hundred and thirty emperor weapons.

"Whether it's scared or not, I don't know, but I'm definitely scared."

The Chaos Huo and Chaos Lei both trembled lightly. The Chaos Ding had boosted its morale a bit too much—now facing so many emperor weapons, it could be hammered to pieces!

Ye Chen frowned. One hundred and thirty emperor weapons weren't something to take lightly—it was like him facing one hundred and thirty emperors alone. Though the Chaos Ding had advanced to great completion, whether it could withstand them was still uncertain.

After all, the lineup of emperor weapons was overwhelming.

Buzz! Buzz!

The Chaos Ding trembled lightly, no longer as lively as before.

Or perhaps, it was scared.

The heavens were truly showing face. For its heavenly tribulation, they had arranged such a grand spectacle—one hundred and thirty ultimate emperor weapons, all waiting for it.

It wasn't afraid of one against four, but one against one hundred and thirty? That wasn't a fight—it was getting crushed!

"Look, a beauty."

The Chaos Ding shouted and turned to flee.

This remark amused everyone. It had picked up Ye Chen's tricks perfectly!

Unfortunately, it didn't work on the emperor weapons. The ultimate emperor weapons had no interest in beauties.

Bang! Clang! Boom! Clang!

The Chaos Ding tried to escape, but the emperor weapons blocked its path and launched a furious assault, hammering it relentlessly regardless of whose sacred weapon it was or what it represented. The sounds of metal clashing echoed endlessly, making hearts shudder, and the sparks flying were blindingly bright.

"A fair fight—have the guts for that!"

The Chaos Ding cursed loudly, charging left and right to break out of the encirclement. Facing one against one hundred and thirty was impossible—one exchange, and it was nearly destroyed.

Zheng!

In response came the attacks of the ultimate emperor weapons. The Xuan Yuan Jian struck first, slashing it flying through the air. Before it could steady itself, the Wu Jin Tie Gun arrived, smashing down from the heavens and nearly shattering it. It hadn't even caught its breath when the Kai Tian Fu Axe fell, almost splitting its thick body in two. Just as it escaped, it crashed into the Xian Wang Ta, and at the same time, two Hong Huang emperor weapons charged from left and right.

What followed didn't need to be seen—just the sounds told the story. The crisp clashes wove into a symphony of destruction. Each strike left the Chaos Ding more gravely wounded than the last. It couldn't even counterattack, let alone stand firm. The emperor dao law bodies were ferocious, and their divine weapons were equally domineering.

The people couldn't bear to watch, their hearts trembling violently.

The one hundred and thirty emperor weapons of Xuan Huang, gathered in such a situation, lived up to expectations, pressing the Chaos Ding relentlessly. It wasn't that the Chaos Ding was weak—it was just that the lineup was incomparable. In a one-on-one, no one could match it.

"To withstand this long without breaking, your ding is something to be proud of."

The Zao Hua Shen Wang said casually, speaking to Ye Chen.

That was the truth.

Who could endure an assault from one hundred and thirty emperor weapons?

Ye Chen said nothing, but fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. The Chaos Shen Ding had advanced before him, causing him backlash, though the fortune outweighed the disaster.

This opportunity was brought by the Chaos Ding.

Now, he had absolute confidence to break through that barrier and cross that threshold.

Without a doubt, he would achieve great completion today.

With that thought, he mobilized his origin essence, fully resolving the medicinal power of the earlier nine-pattern dan. That watermelon-sized dan was undoubtedly a nine-pattern one, as he'd seen in ancient texts, though its size resulted from an error during refinement, greatly reducing its potency—still, it surpassed an eight-pattern dan.

At that moment, he used his origin essence to absorb the medicinal power, restoring his vital energy and innate abilities, aiming to return to his peak as quickly as possible.

As he recovered, he watched the sky.

His sacred weapon was in a dire state, fleeing desperately and getting blocked at every turn, nearly exploding several times. If not for having swallowed the Bu Mie Xian Jin, consumed various divine metals, inscribed with Dun Jia Tian Zi, and fused with Cai Se Shen Liao, its foundation deep enough, it would have been destroyed by the one hundred and thirty emperor weapons long ago.

"Boss, can it hold on?"

The Chaos Huo and Chaos Lei whispered.

"It can."

Ye Chen's single word was firm.

"A fair fight—have the guts for that!"

Bang!

"Ganging up—what kind of skill is that?"

Clang!

"Don't wait till I catch my breath."

Clang!

The Chaos Ding's curses echoed through the heavens, each one met with a brutal hammering.

That once-mighty ding had become like a ball, battered back and forth by the one hundred and thirty emperor weapons—getting more ferocious by the second. Not only was it suffering, but just watching was painful. They wouldn't stop until it was destroyed.

"It's really tough!"

Kui Niu grimaced and clicked his tongue. Even an emperor weapon facing that lineup would likely fall—yet the non-emperor Chaos Ding was still holding on.

"It's all because Old Seven raised it well."

Xiao Yuan Huang scratched his monkey fur, stating a truth. Counting on his fingers, the Chaos Ding had swallowed so many treasures along the way—not to mention others, just the Cai Se Shen Liao and the hardness of the Zhu Xian Jian were renowned.

At some point, the Chaos Ding stopped cursing.

It couldn't hold on anymore; its body kept cracking, nearly exploding too many times.

"The heart of the ding is undying, so the body is unextinguished."

Ye Chen's words echoed constantly.

It understood this principle. Having followed Ye Chen for so long, it possessed his beliefs and will. Holding on this long was thanks to that will and resolve—it just needed to endure until the limit passed.

Boom! Clang! Bang! Clang!

The crisp metal clashes filled the air. The Chaos Ding, plus the one hundred and thirty emperor weapons, looked like one hundred and thirty blazing suns, dazzling and radiant, their divine glory illuminating an apocalyptic scene, shattering the heavens and earth.

"Hold on."

Everyone clenched their fists tightly in their sleeves.

The Chaos Ding struggled bitterly, being engulfed by the emperor weapons time and again, only to fight its way out each time, dragging its battered body while fighting and fleeing on the edge of life and death. It could see the gates of the underworld; any moment of hesitation in its divine intelligence would mean eternal doom.

More people arrived in the starry sky, their eyes gleaming as they watched. Their gazes toward the Chaos Ding were filled with awe. That ding was cloaked in mythical aura, mirroring its master's style—watching it was like watching Ye Chen.

Naturally, their eyes also held hope, wishing the Chaos Ding could endure and fully advance to great completion. If it brought fortune to its master, even better—it might help Ye Chen break through.

"Does it have the will to advance?"

The Ren Wang turned his head, and the other Zhun Di did the same, all looking at Ye Chen.

"Yes."

Ye Chen popped a handful of dans into his mouth, his eyes burning with unyielding determination. From the moment the Chaos Ding achieved great completion, he had that resolve.

Though his word was light, it hit like thunder, making the Zhun Di bodies shudder. Ye Chen had said it himself, so it must be true.

Today, they would witness the Sheng Ti achieving great completion.

Once Ye Chen sealed his position as supreme, what came after would be trivial. This Sheng Ti would protect the new emperor's ascension. After eons, the heavens would enter their most glorious era—one emperor and one Sheng Ti—which era could compare? Even if the Tian Mo invaded, they could hold firm.

In that instant, brilliant dawn light bathed the world.

Boom!

The sky rumbled again as the Chaos Ding suffered another devastating blow, half its body shattering, fragments scattering like mountains, collapsing the universe.

The people's hearts leaped to their throats.

The sharp-eyed elders' gazes burned with intensity, for the assaults of the one hundred and thirty emperor weapons were slowly weakening, proving the tribulation's limit was near. The Chaos Ding just needed to survive this critical moment to achieve merit and fully complete its advancement.

Amid universal attention, the emperor weapons ceased. They no longer attacked the Chaos Ding, gradually fading into nothingness amid their tremors—perhaps a sign of relief, their contentment with the ding.

As for the Chaos Ding, words couldn't describe its wretched state.

It hovered in the void, its body reduced to a single piece, flickering dimly and teetering on the brink, too weak even to speak. Besides its overwhelming battle intent and unbreakable will, nothing else remained—it could explode at any moment.

Buzz!

The Xuan Yuan Jian trembled and suddenly dissipated.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The other emperor weapon law bodies followed, vanishing one by one in their tremors. That ding was too extraordinary; the time limit had passed, and they couldn't erase it.
