Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078

Ye Chen was shocked. At the very edge of the vast Divine Realm, his Heavenly Eye opened, revealing an astonishing sight from afar, leaving him deeply shaken.

There stood an ancient heroic pass, pitch black and insurmountable, towering into the boundless clouds, its entirety unseen, so magnificent that words couldn’t describe it. The heavenly stars seemed so tiny before it.

A Heavenly Pass, yet another Immortal Heavenly Pass, located at the utmost edge of the Ancient Emperor Realm’s Divine Realm. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel•fire.net

Legend has it that there are nine passes in Heaven, each distinct from the other.

As the Immortal Heavenly Pass leading to the Purple Mansion Sacred Land is believed to connect to the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Where does this Immortal Heavenly Pass lead to?

But that wasn’t all; what was even more shocking was that Ye Chen saw a colossal ancient gate, standing before the Immortal Heavenly Pass.

This thoroughly astonished him, because this ancient gate seemed very familiar. He had seen it before, depicted on the murals of the Dark Night Ancient Palace.

In the Mythical Era, when the Sun Monarch and the Dark Night King fell, their master, Emperor Supreme Saint, led the two monarchs through the River of Time. The ancient gate at the very end was precisely this ancient gate, identical to the mural.

Why would it appear there? Only an enormous Yin Yang Taiji Diagram emerged on the gate, connecting the Eight Trigrams, seemingly sealing this ancient gate.

In fact, Ye Chen only had time to glimpse this scene before a Principle Hand descended, shattering Ye Chen’s Supreme Daoist Body instantly, reducing it to ashes!

The Divine Realm’s Light Gate transformed into a brilliant Divine Radiance, dissipating into the great heavens, and the power of the Dao Rules vanished as well.

Only Ye Chen stood there in the starry sky, bewildered, as everything he had seen was beyond imagination.

The appearance of the Immortal Heavenly Pass, the existence of the mysterious ancient gate, the ominous aura of the Divine Realm, and the pervasive bloodshed.

All these seemed to foretell something, making Ye Chen’s heart race with unease. He had a bad premonition and strongly suspected that the Heavenly Earth Chessboard in the Ancient Emperor Realm was likely related to the Immortal Heavenly Pass and the ancient gate.

What lies on the other side of the Immortal Heavenly Pass and the ancient gate, Ye Chen pondered deeply.

Suddenly, Ye Chen felt a chill down his spine, instinctively shifting thousands of miles away at a breathtaking speed.

Yet a spray of golden blood still splattered out; his left leg had been grazed with a wound.

A Heavenly Embodiment manifested, the Third Heaven’s Incarnation, exceedingly elegant, wielding a Divine Sword that had just sliced through Ye Chen’s peerless physical body.

The wound wasn’t deep, but it evidenced the terror of the Heavenly Embodiment. He, with a Great Power Level body and wearing Principle Chains Battle Clothing, theoretically shouldn’t be so easily harmed, even by a Reincarnation Level Supreme Powerhouse.

The Nine Great Heavenly Embodiments were merely the final Great Tribulation he hadn’t yet overcome in the Saintly Treasure Great Tribulation. No matter how strong, they were comparable to a Saint Lord and shouldn’t have been able to damage his body.

But in fact, it proved otherwise, making Ye Chen frown. He felt this Saintly Treasure Great Tribulation was extraordinarily unusual, perhaps Heaven sensed his true realm and accordingly made adjustments.

Sure enough, after Ye Chen swiftly suppressed his realm to the Saintly Treasure Realm, the power of the Heavenly Embodiments weakened significantly, returning to normal levels, unable to harm his Holy Body.

The Great Tribulation thundered, with all Nine Great Heavenly Embodiments appearing, and even the most mysterious Tenth Heaven’s Incarnation revealed itself from the Thunderbolt Ancient Gate, bathed in brilliant light, surrounded by an Immortal Immortal Mechanism, its true appearance obscured.

Ye Chen made his move, engaging in a world-shocking battle with the Nine Great Heavenly Embodiments amidst the Endless Tribulation Light and Thunder Sea.

Vast thunderbolts erupted, torrent after torrent, pouring into the starry sky, with terrifying Heavenly Might causing many stars to suffer, turning to ashes.

On this path, Ye Chen abandoned all thoughts, risking life and death, fighting alone against the Nine Great Heavenly Embodiments, each one as unrivaled as a young Ancient Great Emperor.

Even one was so unbeatable, let alone nine appearing; how could anyone contest?

Now Ye Chen relied on his invincibly Great Power Level body and Principle Chains Battle Clothing to fight in a cheating manner, coping with them.

Golden light exploded, and Ye Chen’s body crumbled. Even a robust Great Power Level Holy Body was insufficient; even with Principle Chains Battle Clothing, it was futile.

The Nine Great Heavenly Embodiments were ultimately too powerful; the combined strength of the nine bore the absolute Divine Power to slay immortals and gods.

Moreover, it was evident that the Nine Great Heavenly Embodiments had grown significantly stronger, their aura at least Supreme Level.

And the most mysterious Tenth Heaven’s Incarnation never moved, always standing atop the Thunderbolt Light Gate, surrounded by an Immortal Immortal Mechanism, making Ye Chen most apprehensive.

"To think we’ve reached this point." Ye Chen coughed up blood, the golden liquid staining his battle armor, trapping him. Twice shattered, nearly dying repeatedly; it was a hard-fought Heavenly Tribulation.

Then he saw Shen Rong in the distant sky and grinned, "Fellow Daoist Shen Rong, still keen on continuing the battle? These are Heavenly Embodiments, as mighty as the Mythical Emperor or Emperor in their youth. Aren’t you convinced of your invincibility? Why not join me in battle?"

He then looked to Emperor Wuming in the distant sky, smiling again, "Fellow Daoist Wuming, this is a prime opportunity to verify your invincibility, a rare same-class battle you may not encounter often in a lifetime."

Though knowing Ye Chen was drawing them in to share some pressure, Shen Rong, the most arrogant, didn’t believe himself inferior to anyone, striding in boldly, intercepting three Heavenly Embodiments with a swipe of his hand.

Meanwhile, Di Wuming stepped out as well, surrounded by 108 Divine Rings, appearing supremely god-like, exuding an extraordinary presence akin to the arrival of an Immortal King to the mortal world, smiling faintly, "Since the Combat Saint King has invited me, it wouldn’t be polite to refuse."

The Four Old Immortals exclaimed in alarm, wanting to stop Di Wuming. That Great Tribulation was terrifying, beyond imagination, making them worry he would face a crisis.

"No worries, this is a chance to verify one’s invincibility, an opportunity scarcely encountered in a lifetime. Moreover, I trust in my invincibility, so why fear."

He transformed into a dazzling Immortal Light, similarly joining the Ten-layered Heaven Supreme Saint Treasure Great Tribulation of Ye Chen, confronting the Heavenly Embodiment.

The entry of the two emperor’s sons significantly reduced Ye Chen’s crisis, allowing him to catch his breath, mending his body within the Tribulation Light and Thunder Sea.

At this moment, his flesh began to glow, filled with endless Principle Residue and Heavenly King’s Law emerging. He was about to seize this moment to break through the Principle Chains, restoring his invincible body, advancing further on the path of cultivation, and forging the Invincible Dao.
