Chapter 2944: Emperor-Level Laws

Boom! Rumble!

In the Great Dao Tai Shang Tian, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with Emperor Dao visions soaring through the air, depicting a scene of utter destruction.

The oppressive aura from the five Tian Di level Fa Ze bodies shook the entire universe.

All living beings felt their souls tremble, instinctively wanting to prostrate themselves.

Ye Chen furrowed his brow slightly. The Fa Ze bodies in his tribulation should have been at his level, but these five Emperor Dao Fa Ze bodies were clearly at the Tian Di level, surpassing his own realm. From the moment they manifested, they violated the laws.

"Violating the laws is exactly right."

Ming Di spoke leisurely, as if reading Ye Chen's thoughts.

There was no precedent for the Sheng Ti to achieve emperorship, and from the instant this Emperor Tribulation descended, it too had violated the laws.

A tribulation that violates the laws—did you expect it to be normal?

The previous one hundred and thirty-one emperors were not Fa Ze bodies but genuine emperors, which was proof enough.

Thus, the Emperor Tribulation of the Sheng Ti was different from that of others.

Precisely because of this, the expressions of the Tian and Ming emperors were not pleasant. A tribulation that upended the norms didn't follow any patterns, and even they didn't know how Ye Chen could successfully pass this ultimate Emperor Tribulation, as they were witnessing it for the first time.

The myriad thoughts of the two emperors and Ye Chen's own thoughts were but a fleeting instant to the outside world.

The five Tian Di Fa Ze bodies had already taken solid form, exuding vast true emperor might. Each was enveloped in divine radiance, ancient and weathered beyond measure. No one could clearly see their true appearances, as if they stood at the end of time itself. No matter how hard one strained to look, they remained indistinct, like figures from myth—dreamlike and illusory. The ethereal sounds of the Emperor Dao were faint and elusive.

Ye Chen activated the Sheng Dao Hui Tian to the fullest, healing his wounds completely. The upcoming battle would be extraordinarily fierce.

No sooner said than done, Lian Yu Tian Di struck first, sweeping in a sea of purgatory flames that engulfed the heavens and earth, drowning Ye Chen.

"Open!"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, tearing through the sea of flames like a soaring dragon. He collided head-on with Wang Chuan Tian Di, who pierced his chest with a single finger. That finger was a forbidden technique, infused with time laws, capable of annihilating origins and destroying Dao roots.

Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged as he used the power of time to erase and counter the attack. He summoned the Eightfold Heavenly Dragon, forcing Wang Chuan back.

At the same time, Huang Quan Tian Di attacked, employing some unknown forbidden method to destroy the Eightfold Heavenly Dragon. He wielded his war spear like a club, smashing Ye Chen down and causing even Ye Chen's ancient Sheng Ti body to shatter on the spot.

Boom!

Ye Chen stabilized himself in an instant, forcefully regenerating his Sheng Ti body. Before he could act, he felt the heavens and earth shift dramatically, enveloped by a forbidden power. It was the supreme spatial law, wielded by Ming Tu Da Di—he couldn't tell if it was spatial imprisonment or spatial annihilation. Under that force, Ye Chen's tough Sheng Ti body began to disintegrate inch by inch, without any pain.

Those who became Tian Di were no ordinary beings; their strikes were all forbidden techniques.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and countered space with space, pulling his disintegrating Sheng Ti body back from the spatial void.

Buzz!

Accompanied by a thunderous boom, a golden sun manifested in the ethereal void, radiating countless beams of light. Each beam was not physical but illusory, yet it carried the forbidden power of a spatiotemporal domain, fused with destructive might.

This was the divine ability of Tian Xu Tian Di, an Emperor Dao immortal technique and also a spatiotemporal immortal law.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

In mere moments, Ye Chen's Sheng Ti body was riddled with wounds, unable to defend against the spatiotemporal immortal law.

"Break!"

Ye Chen shouted resolutely, gathering spatiotemporal power to form armor. He clashed head-on with the spatiotemporal light and, at the same time, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, transforming his origins into a divine bow and spatiotemporal energy into a divine arrow. He shot it toward the heavens, obliterating the golden sun in one strike.

For this, he paid a heavy price, struck by Lian Yu Da Di's palm that sent his blood and bones flying.

Before he could steady himself, a spatial prison formed around him. Order chains snaked out, binding his limbs and Dao roots. It was Ming Tu Da Di again, whose comprehension of space had reached its peak, with his Emperor laws fully integrated into space.

Ye Chen couldn't move, feeling his Dao roots crumbling and his entire body's power being rapidly annihilated.

Huang Quan Tian Di and Wang Chuan Tian Di arrived, one in front and one behind—one gripping a war spear, the other wielding an emperor sword. Tian Xu Tian Di and Lian Yu Tian Di followed suit, one on the left and one on the right—one unleashing Emperor Dao attacks, the other manifesting visions.

That scene made everyone's hearts leap into their throats.

Tian Di level Fa Ze bodies were indeed incomparable to Great Emperor level ones. Their strikes were all forbidden techniques, and their coordination was flawless. One emperor imposed imprisonment while the other four launched Emperor Dao assaults. If Ye Chen couldn't evade this attack, he would surely be slain on the spot.

"Get away from me."

Ye Chen roared, disrupting space with spatial chaos to forcefully break Ming Tu Tian Di's imprisonment. He struck with a palm and a fist, repelling Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, then flipped his hand for a sword strike to drive back Tian Xu. However, he couldn't block Lian Yu Tian Di's attack.

It was a vision of a fiery domain that once again submerged Ye Chen, instantly burning away half of his Sheng Ti body.

"I'll make you burn."

Ye Chen was enraged, expanding his Chaos vision to protect himself and regenerating his Sheng Ti body.

Yet, he had underestimated the Tian Di level Fa Ze bodies. His vision had barely formed when Wang Chuan Tian Di cleaved it open with a sword.

In that same instant, Huang Quan Tian Di charged in, hurling his spear and nailing Ye Chen into the void.

"Nicely done."

Ye Chen's eyes were bloodshot with madness. He yanked out the spear embedded in his body and used it like a club. As Ming Di Tian Di approached, he swung it, sending them flying and shattering their emperor bodies.

Tian Xu Tian Di's attack arrived, transforming into a spatiotemporal immortal tower that engulfed Ye Chen.

The four emperors then positioned themselves at the four cardinal directions, each forming seals with one hand—the same seal. Under their feet, beams of Emperor Dao light connected to the spatiotemporal immortal tower from all sides. It seemed they intended to refine Ye Chen within it.

With five Tian Di joining forces to cast a forbidden law, not only the common people but even the Tian and Ming emperors felt their hearts quiver.

A forbidden law requiring five Tian Di to unite was undoubtedly destructive.

And indeed, it was. The scene inside the tower was one of total devastation: lightning flashed, thunder roared, and various forbidden forces intertwined chaotically. They took no fixed form—sometimes swords, sometimes blades, sometimes bronze furnaces, sometimes war halberds—all manner of weapons manifesting.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Ye Chen charged wildly but couldn't escape; instead, he was repeatedly wounded, his Sheng Ti body fragmenting and unable to reform.

He had underestimated the five forbidden zone Tian Di; they wielded all kinds of forbidden forces with terrifying proficiency.

"Cauldron, manifest!"

Ye Chen roared, summoning his Chaos cauldron. He empowered it with reincarnation force, enhanced it with time power, and inscribed spatial laws upon it, causing his life-bound cauldron to expand infinitely, like an eight-thousand-zhang mountain.

Boom!

With a thunderous explosion, the spatiotemporal immortal tower imprisoning him was burst apart by his Chaos cauldron. Even the five forbidden zone Tian Di were shaken back several steps. The forbidden law they had cast together was forcibly broken by him.

But Ye Chen fared no better. As he burst out, he was covered in blood and bones, his Sheng Ti body in ruins, with only half his head left. The fragments of the spatiotemporal immortal tower still carried terrifying residual power, each piece striking him and gravely wounding his primordial spirit.

Yet, the five emperors gave him no chance to catch his breath. Huang Quan Tian Di struck first, piercing him with a spear.

Ye Chen didn't clash directly; instead, he soared into the sky to escape.

Suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared before him—the sixth Tian Di Fa Ze body had manifested.

Puff!

A spray of golden blood erupted as Ye Chen, caught off guard, had his head severed.

Upon closer inspection, that sixth Tian Di was Xuan Di.

The Dao Ancestor instinctively glanced toward Buzhou Mountain, his eyes filled with curiosity, as if asking: Are you at the Tian Di level?

Xuan Di's ethereal shadow stood with hands clasped, offering no answer.

His situation was somewhat similar to that of the five forbidden zone young emperors. In his memories, his true self had indeed been a Great Emperor, but now manifesting as a Xuan Di Tian Di level Fa Ze body made the answer clear—his true self had advanced further afterward.

The Dao Ancestor withdrew his gaze and took a deep breath.

It seemed that among the legendary Emperor Dao F4, Xuan Di held the highest level.

But that wasn't important right now—what mattered was Ye Chen.

He was truly in a dire state, caught off guard by Xuan Di. Already severely wounded with his Sheng Ti body in tatters, now having his head removed, the bloody scene even made Ming Di draw in a sharp breath.

Ye Chen fled even faster, darting chaotically through Tai Shang Tian while regenerating his Sheng Ti body and head.

Once his head reformed, his face was as dark as ink. Damn it, if they were coming, they should all come at once. Manifesting one by one was impossible to guard against. It was only thanks to his profound foundations that he hadn't been killed by Xuan Di.

Now, with six Tian Di Fa Ze bodies, they attacked from all six directions.

Ye Chen didn't engage them head-on. He hung the Chaos cauldron above his head, donned spatiotemporal armor, and gripped the Reincarnation Immortal Sword, fleeing as fast as he could. Tian Di Fa Ze bodies were no joke; each one mastered at least one forbidden law.

The dim Tai Shang Tian grew even more chaotic.

Ye Chen fled relentlessly while the six Tian Di gave chase, striking as they went.

This was the gap between a Great Emperor and Tian Di.

Earlier, Ye Chen had faced one hundred and thirty-one emperors alone and dominated them.

Now, however, he was driven mad by the six Tian Di Fa Ze bodies.

Ye Chen should count himself lucky that these were merely Tian Di Fa Ze bodies. If they were true Tian Di, there would be no point in fighting.

This was also the difference between outer domain emperors and Heavenly Court emperors.

Outer domain emperors didn't rely on enlightenment as their primary path to advancement, but every Heavenly Court emperor advanced through enlightenment. His ability to suppress the Heaven Demon Tian Di with one palm didn't mean he could defeat a Heavenly Court Tian Di's Fa Ze body.

What's more, he was facing a group assault.

"Are Tian Di really this terrifying?"

The people murmured, their faces pale. Ye Chen, who could suppress a Heaven Demon Tian Di with one palm, was now chased across the skies by six Tian Di Fa Ze bodies. He might handle one-on-one, but in a group, it was a different story.

"If the Emperor Tribulation stops here, it might still be manageable."

The Ren Wang stroked his beard, believing Ye Chen could endure it, but he feared even worse trials after this.

"The path of the Sheng Ti to prove emperorship is truly difficult."

The God King of Creation murmured. This was Ye Chen, the strongest and most astonishing Sheng Ti in history. If it were Di Huang, he would likely have been destroyed already. Even Ye Chen dared not fight and couldn't win against six Tian Di level Fa Ze bodies, let alone Di Huang.

The Emperor Tribulation of the Sheng Ti couldn't be judged by normal standards.

No one knew if more tribulations would follow these Tian Di Fa Ze bodies. That damned higher realm wouldn't let him achieve Dao so easily. The precedent of the Sheng Ti lineage attaining emperorship wasn't something to be established lightly.
