Chapter 3246: Defying the Heavens (Part Two)

Boom!

In that eternal instant, the Huang Di might of the Sheng Ti swept across the universe. It was a golden halo, dazzling and radiant, destroying the world's darkness and igniting a spark of hope that shone brighter than the sun.

"What a big bunch of candied haws."

The words were lighthearted, but the eyes of cultivators across the heavens grew collectively moist. After all, in both past and present lives, Sheng Ti Ye Chen had never let the common people down.

"You've finally done it."

The Nu Di smiled gently, as if she could see that figure through the endless void. He had returned against the heavens at the moment of mortal peril. If he had been even a step later, she would have perished, and the entire heavens would have turned to dust in history.

Fortunately, he had made it in time.

He had blocked the Tian Mo's assault on the Seven Sha, and halted the Huang Di's advance. Precisely because the Huang Di was wounded, it had eliminated his presence and given her the chance to witness this myth.

"Sheng Ti is so dominant."

Roars of frenzy echoed throughout the myriad domains of the heavens.

Dominant? Absolutely dominant!

Ye Chen's single spear had pierced through the Tian Mo's Seven Sha, and the Huang Di's might was eternally indestructible. He was a god, an eternal god, and his Dao sound was the most ancient divine melody, awakening the will of all beings.

The Tian Mo Huang Di roared in anger.

Across the entire universe, he was the most embarrassed one. Bearing the Seven Sha, he had suffered two heavy blows—one eternal, one across time and space—leaving this Huang Di with flaws and bringing true shame and humiliation.

Roaring in anger as well was the E Tian Mo Huang Di.

In the previous moment, the barrier had shattered, and he was about to charge in to display his divine power. But before he could leave the E Mo Domain, he was blocked by the heavens' barrier again, smashing into it with a thunderous crash.

Ah!

The Sheng Tian Mo Huang Di howled, his black-hole eyes stained with blood, grinding his teeth in rage. How could Ye Chen become a Huang Di? This defier of the heavens, why could he achieve Huang Di status? How many times had he broken the rules, creating variables time and again?

Boom! Rumble!

The sky thundered with lightning and roaring winds. The Huang Di's anger was a reflection of the heavenly Dao. He was just one step away, yet eternal chaos had intervened, wounding the Seven Sha and the heavenly Dao.

Boom!

Amid the roars, Ye Chen's true form descended.

He landed in the Tian Mo Domain, and with one step, he shattered countless demons. The entire Tian Mo Domain nearly collapsed under his foot. He was truly an eternal god, radiating endless light and manifesting eternal visions, while echoing eternal heavenly sounds.

He had arrived, and so had his Huang Di tribulation.

This tribulation had nothing to do with the heavenly Dao; it was his own.

He had forcibly manifested his Sheng Zhan Fa Shen, but it vanished in an instant.

It was the heavenly Dao at work.

He had disrupted the laws, so the heavens overturned the order.

Hold on.

Ye Chen's words rang out firmly as he charged toward the Tian Mo Domain's Huang Di.

This was meant for the heavens to hear.

Though the Tian Mo's Seven Sha was nailed in place, it didn't mean the apocalypse was averted. The catastrophe would still come, just delayed by his eternal war spear.

Before the end of the world arrived, they must defend the heavens.

Especially the generation of Sheng Mo—it absolutely could not die. The Huang Di of the Sheng Mo Domain still had a purpose. If the Sheng Mo died, even eternity couldn't hold back the Seven Sha. Before that, he would exhaust all his strength to slay the Tian Mo Domain's Huang Di.

In the Nu Di's view, this task was nearly impossible.

For the Tian Mo Huang Di was at the absolute peak, unbeatable under the heavenly Dao, while Ye Chen was merely an incomplete Huang Di who hadn't yet passed his tribulation. Even as an Huang Gu Sheng Ti, reversing the heavenly Dao was difficult. Defeating the Tian Mo Huang Di was easy; exterminating him was not.

Defeat and death were two different concepts.

Kill!

The Tian Mo Huang Di charged forward with disheveled hair, unleashing the fury he had suppressed for two epochs. Waves of demonic malice erupted, each thread carrying destructive intent, obliterating countless Tian Mo supreme beings, though the quasi-Huang Tian Mo escaped the calamity.

Yet, one calamity was followed by another.

It was Ye Chen's heavenly tribulation, a world-shattering Huang Di divine punishment that had descended. Every Tian Mo, whether Huang Di or at the heavenly realm, was forced to face it.

That was why a Sheng Ti's tribulation always caused a massive stir.

This time, it was the most domineering, pulling an entire domain into his tribulation.

Boom!

The Tian Mo Huang Di struck with a palm that covered the entire cosmos.

Bang!

Ye Chen soared against the heavens, his eternal fist piercing through the palm print. Even the Tian Mo Huang Di staggered back, spitting out fresh blood that flowed down, transforming into a pitch-black ocean and devouring countless Tian Mo emperors.

This was the might of a Huang Di.

A single drop of a Huang Di's blood could destroy the heavens and earth.

"No rest until death."

Ye Chen advanced into the void, his eternal strike sending the Tian Mo Huang Di flying eighty thousand miles. As he tumbled, his demonic body shattered repeatedly, with eternity invading his physique and attacking its core, instantly stripping away eighty thousand years of his lifespan.

"You deserve to die."

The Tian Mo Huang Di suddenly stabilized, demonic light bursting forth. He eradicated the eternity within him and reversed time, reclaiming the eighty thousand years in an instant. Yet, blood continued to flow from his mouth, due to the Seven Sha's heavy wounds turning into flaws that constantly backfired, compounded by Ye Chen's assault, causing him to bleed repeatedly.

This was the first reason Ye Chen targeted him.

A flawed Huang Di was no longer flawless. The scars from the Seven Sha could never be healed. Even if all beings perished and the heavenly Dao didn't reclaim him, he would never reach the Tai Huang realm, forever stuck at the peak of Huang Di.

"I will cut you down."

The Tian Mo Huang Di summoned his visions, forming a domain of destruction where lightning flashed, thunder roared, and seven suns appeared, resembling the Tian Mo's Seven Sha. Stars filled the sky, and each wisp of demonic light was forged through a thousand trials, capable of cleaving the universe.

"Come."

Ye Chen summoned his eternal immortal domain, where visions of all things manifested—mountains, grasses, great rivers, and mighty seas—all bathed in eternal glory. The eternal Dao sounds awakened the will of all spirits, etching immortality to its utmost.

Boom!

The two domains collided, exploding with apocalyptic light.

Bang!

The Sheng Ti dominated the universe, charging into the destruction domain with his eternal immortal domain, carrying the might of the heavenly tribulation. He shattered the demonic visions into pieces. In turn, his own visions were destroyed, and those thousand-forged demonic lights slashed his eternal immortal domain full of wounds.

"With your blood, I sacrifice to the heavens."

The Tian Huang Mo Di attacked, bathing in the Huang Di tribulation. His palm split open Ye Chen's chest, ripping out a section of Sheng bone, which turned to ash in his palm. Killing intent surged into Ye Chen's body, manifesting as three strikes—one into his divine sea, one into his foundation, and one toward his true form. This blow nearly dismantled Ye Chen's imperial body.

Break!

Ye Chen snorted coldly, using his bloodline limit to resist forcefully. Eternity eradicated the killing intent and inverted the rules, instantly restoring his damaged foundation, exploded divine sea, and injured true form.

In the same instant, he unleashed eternity from within him.

Eternity formed an indestructible divine sword, sending the Tian Mo Huang Di flying for the second time.

Ah!

The Tian Mo Huang Di returned in a flash, sweeping in a sea of demonic malice and blood to engulf Ye Chen.

Open!

Ye Chen shouted resoundingly, tearing through the demonic sea and soaring out, only to collide head-on with a pitch-black war spear locked by heavenly Dao power, nailing him into the void.

"Die!"

The Tian Mo Huang Di pressed down with a palm, forming a vortex in his hand from which a black demonic tower flew out, trapping Ye Chen inside to refine him.

Boom!

Ye Chen was domineering, smashing the demonic tower with a single fist. A beam of eternal light stretched ten thousand miles, nearly splitting the Tian Mo Huang Di in two. Before he could steady himself, the eternal immortal sea rolled in, forcefully engulfing him. The sea shifted form into a divine cauldron, with flames burning and thunder raging, intent on refining the Tian Mo Huang Di.

Unfortunately, he couldn't trap the Tian Mo Huang Di.

The cauldron had just formed when it was split open by a palm, unleashing countless black sword energies—each thousand-forged and infused with heavenly Dao power.

Pfft! Pfft!

Ye Chen spat blood. Even with eternity's indestructibility and his bloodline's immortality, he was slashed with bones and blood flying. One strike even pierced his divine sea, nearly destroying his primordial spirit.

Kill!

The Tian Mo Huang Di howled in rage, surging with demonic malice.

Fight!

Ye Chen shook off the black sword energies, enduring the Huang Di lightning tribulation, and charged into the ethereal heavens.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The epic battle at the Huang Di level escalated instantly.

One was the Sheng Ti Huang Di.

The other was the Tian Mo Huang Di.

One at the initial stage.

The other at the peak.

Both bathed in lightning, shattering the heavens and earth with every clash. Each collision spread black halos like a destructive hand wiping across the dim world.

Pfft! Pfft!

The Tian Mo Domain suffered greatly. First from the Huang Di tribulation, then from the destructive aftermath, vast swaths turned to ash, including imperial Dao Tian Mo. All fled in panic, slipping through barrier cracks into the heavens. It was supposed to be their stronghold, but now it seemed the heavens were safer.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

While the Tian Mo Domain was in battle, so were the heavens.

Tian Mo, E Mo, and Sheng Mo poured in endlessly. Every crack let outer universe demons through, but compared to the other two domains, the Tian Mo Domain's demons were far fewer—over half wiped out by the aftermath and Huang Di tribulation.

"The heavens' destiny endures eternally."

The heavens' cultivators roared, their battle intent burning like fire. With the commander of all beings returned, hope was reignited. Even if they were shattered to pieces, they would fight for a bright future.

The rumbling sounded like funeral bells.

There were battle fluctuations, thunder, and roars of fury from the heavens, blending into funeral bells. No one knew if they tolled for all beings or for the outer domains.

The war was brutal.

As far as the eye could see, in the Tian Jie, Ming Jie, Xuan Huang, Da Chu, You Ming mainland, myriad domains, and star spaces, blood-red flames raged. Roars, wails, and howls filled the universe, with blood rain pouring like light rain over the world.

Outer domain demons fell in droves.

Heavens' cultivators fell just the same, collapsing in pools of blood.

"Open, open for me!"

The E Tian Mo Huang Di shouted, shaking the universe as he forcefully assaulted the barrier.

But with the Seven Sha nailed, he couldn't break through.

The generation of Sheng Mo was equally restless, repeatedly Chong Ji the seal, desperate to break free. His grotesque face twisted in fury, eager to charge into the Tian Mo Domain and fight Ye Chen, curious about what made that young Sheng Ti so different, why he kept breaking constraints.

"Where do you think you're going?"

The emperors guarding the seal burned their lifespans, suppressing it relentlessly.

"Die."

A quasi-Huang E Mo suddenly emerged from the void, sword sweeping a hundred thousand miles.

It targeted the ancient seal.

The Nu Di arrived in a flash, erasing the sword light and sending the quasi-Huang E Mo flying. Before he could stabilize, she finished him with a finger strike.

"Reinforce the war spear."

A message came from Zi Zai Tian.

The key to this battle was the Tian Mo's Seven Sha. Ye Chen's eternal war spear wouldn't hold forever. Once the Seven Sha descended, the barrier would dissipate, allowing the heavenly Dao to interfere directly. The heavens would then face more than one Huang Di.

At that point, even one Ye Chen couldn't reverse the order.

No need for her to say it—the Nu Di, Shen Zun, Hong Yan, and Di Huang had already crossed the void, heading straight to the ethereal peak. Across the entire heavens, besides Ye Chen, only these four cultivated eternity. The Nu Di and Shen Zun had reached perfection, while Hong Yan and Di Huang, though weaker, were qualified—most importantly, both were Huang Gu Sheng Ti.

Sheng Ti shared in glory.

Ye Chen's defiance to seal his Huang Di status led to their own rebirth and transformation.

Quasi-Huang Di peak was their destiny.

The four united, offering their eternity to forcibly reinforce the eternal war spear.

In this battle, all beings could turn the tide.

As long as they slew the Tian Mo Huang Di before the Seven Sha arrived, they had a chance to rebel and conquer the heavens. Remember, the generation of Sheng Mo was still sealed, and exterminating him would be easy.

That would leave only the E Mo Huang Di.

As the saying goes, defeat them one by one.

But it was easier said than done.

Regardless of whether they could hold the eternal war spear, whether Ye Chen could slay the Huang Di was uncertain. Again, defeat and extermination were different concepts.

What they needed was time.

In the Tian Mo Domain, not a single Tian Mo remained. Those not destroyed had all invaded the heavens. It was the Huang Di tribulation that did the work—what the heavens' cultivators couldn't achieve even with full force, one tribulation accomplished.

Roar! Roar!

Neither Ye Chen nor the Tian Mo Huang Di was visible; both had transformed. One into an eternal divine dragon, the other into a black demonic dragon, battling in the Great Dao's supreme heavens. Sheng bones were stained with imperial blood, demonic bones with demonic blood, scattering across the dim sky.

It wasn't hard to see that Ye Chen had the upper hand.

He was only an initial-stage Huang Di, but as a Sheng Ti, from the same heavenly Dao lineage—and more directly descended than the Sheng Mo lineage. As for the E Mo and Tian Mo, they were lesser branches. Moreover, the Tian Mo's strength lay in the Seven Sha.

Unfortunately, the Seven Sha was sealed.

The Tian Mo Huang Di was also suffering backlash, his flawless state turned flawed. With this decline, he was no match for Ye Chen. If time allowed, even an initial-stage Sheng Ti could wear him down to ashes. Eternity and bloodline weren't for show.

Ah!

The Tian Mo Huang Di bellowed, furious beyond measure. As the peak of Huang Di realm, how could he lose to an initial-stage Ye Chen? Ironically, the opponent hadn't even finished his tribulation.

His roar was loud, but useless.

Ye Chen dominated the universe, his eternal, indestructible dragon form growing larger in battle. It was his Dao, his will and obsession, surpassing the Tian Mo and, in moments, disregarding the heavenly Dao's power.

Pfft!

The Tian Mo Huang Di spat blood again, half his dragon body cleaved by Ye Chen. Surging eternity flooded his physique, hindering his demonic body's reconstruction and locking his primordial spirit.

"You can't destroy me."

The Tian Mo Huang Di thundered like lightning, drawing heavenly Dao power to erase eternity and forcefully rebuild. From his massive dragon eyes, beams of destructive demonic light shot out.

Ye Chen said nothing, forcibly severing the heavenly Dao power.

The Tian Mo Huang Di's reliance wasn't his Dao, but the heavenly Dao's boost.

His eternity cut off the source.

With the heavenly Dao power severed, the Tian Mo Huang Di's aura plummeted instantly. As Ye Chen said, his dependence was on the heavens. Isolated from the heavenly Dao, his newly rebuilt demonic body crumbled inch by inch, with blood and bones exploding across the supreme heavens.
