Chapter 122: with translation of chapter title

Esteemed Founder had already made up his mind in his heart: Ye Chen must never be allowed to grow.

He knew very well that a heavenly prodigy like Ye Chen must either be befriended or utterly eradicated, and Esteemed Founder, evidently, chose the latter.

"How interesting, I wonder if having obtained his (her) myriad forms, my mask will become stronger."

Nuo Mian thought this in his heart, his tone unable to hide his excitement.

At this moment, the happiest was undoubtedly Gu Lan, who from the start had been friendly with Ye Chen, and Ye Chen even agreed to become Yun Yun's protector.

As long as Ye Chen can survive this Heavenly Tribulation, the Yun Family will have a chance to rise together with a great being!

At this time, Ye Chen, still in the Crossing Tribulation, did not know that he had already been targeted by many, and now, looking up at the Third Transformation Heavenly Tribulation above him, his battle spirit surged like a tide.

"Third Transformation, boundless tribulation!"

With that voice appearing, the Third Transformation Heavenly Tribulation arrived as scheduled.

The will of the Heavenly Dao manifested its true form: an ancient being condensed from blood-colored thunder.

In fact, it had no fixed shape; this being must be the towering great power of some era, and the Heavenly Dao manifested it specifically for Ye Chen's Heavenly Tribulation!

It slowly raised its hand and hurled a divine light; it did not throw thunder, but the river of fate of the being it had become!

Ye Chen's Dao bone emitted a strained wail, his seven apertures simultaneously spewing blood infused with burning Dao fire. Yet he laughed, his laughter shaking the star river, causing the nine-tier heavens to crumble.

"How can I fall here!"

"I still have people I care about, people I cherish; they... need me!"

The Dao fire in Ye Chen's body grew stronger, his bones crackling as if about to shatter at any moment; the Heavenly Dao, with an irresistible force, attempted to break his Crossing Tribulation.

But Ye Chen possessed a newly formed invincible heart; he would not accept defeat, and if obstacles arose, he would smash them with his own strength.

Gradually, his spiritual sea changed, rainbow-colored light bathing his entire spiritual sea!

He lifted his head, gazing at the ancient being condensed from blood-colored thunder, "Even if you are the Heavenly Dao, I will trample you beneath my feet!"

"I exchange my Dao fruit for your Heavenly Dao's retreat and reverence!"

Ye Chen roared, and at the same time, a rainbow-colored Great Dao Golden Lotus rose in his spiritual sea; the moment the Great Dao Golden Lotus appeared, the Heavenly Dao trembled, and the ancient being of blood-colored thunder shivered!

This is the foundation of the Extreme Boundary of refined Qi, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core; the Great Dao Golden Lotus, long established, is the supreme foundation, the supreme Dao!

Even the Heavenly Dao trembles in fear, which shows how terrifying the Great Dao Golden Lotus is; indeed, the Great Dao cannot deny its existence.

From afar, Hun Yan, upon seeing Ye Chen's Great Dao Golden Lotus, couldn't stop his eyes from trembling.

"The ultimate foundation of all ages! It is indeed the ultimate foundation of all ages!"

Its tone was so excited, as if it itself had obtained the Great Dao Golden Lotus foundation.

"Indeed, I will never mistake it; whether it's the Great Dao Golden Lotus, even if it's seven-colored, I know—I will not mistake the person. Ye Chen, you must survive!"

At this moment, the Great Dao Golden Lotus slowly rotated within the tribulation clouds; all laws could not intrude, and rules retreated.

Ye Chen looked at his own foundation, and an invincible battle spirit burst from his body.

Suddenly, the Great Dao Golden Lotus sliced out an unrivaled divine light, which at the end of the river of time severed the Heavenly Dao's shackles!

The ancient being condensed from blood-colored thunder exploded, and at the moment its body shattered, the entire starry sky seemed to wail.

【Congratulations, you have passed the Three Transformations Three Changes Heavenly Tribulation without any external aid. If you truly ingested the Creation Origin Pill given by Hun Yan, you would have had little chance to comprehend the Great Dao Golden Lotus foundation. Fortunately, the birth of your invincible heart prevented you from choosing to take the Creation Origin Pill.】

The system's voice sounded, and Ye Chen sat in the air, regulating his breath.

"Creation Origin Pill...?"

Ye Chen murmured softly; he knew Hun Yan also meant well, and it did not realize that he could comprehend a reverse-heaven Great Dao Golden Lotus foundation.

Moreover, the system did not mention any side effects of the Creation Origin Pill, proving that Hun Yan had not lied.

"Is it destiny, or is my fate defying Heaven?"

Ye Chen said, frowning; he did not know which, but regardless, he could not now halt his ascent.

"Esteemed Founder..."

When Ye Chen spoke Esteemed Founder's name, murderous intent spread around him, the burgeoning murderous intent even solidified into substance!

"Congratulations, you are the third cultivator to break through the Three Transformations Three Changes."

Hun Yan said, and flew back to Ye Chen's forehead.

"What I didn't expect is that you actually didn't use the Creation Origin Pill."

"I didn't expect it either."

Ye Chen replied, now firmly believing that with his own strength he can pierce anything, bearing an invincible heart, he will not waver in his confidence in his own power.

"You have gained a lot this time."

Hun Yan said happily, this being the first time its tone showed emotion; before, it always spoke coldly, as if without feeling, only acting according to the most beneficial logic.

Therefore, it sincerely felt glad for Ye Chen.

"Hun Yan, you have changed."

Ye Chen suddenly said to Hun Yan, perhaps even Hun Yan hadn't realized its own change.

"Really?"

Hun Yan hadn't noticed, so subconsciously asked that sentence.

"Yes, but it's good."

Ye Chen said.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a vibration coming from beyond Xingkong.

He frowned, looking toward Xingkong, "Hun Yan, do you know what happened beyond Xingkong?"

"Two people have started fighting, but because the celestial mechanisms of this planet are unstable, and your terrifying Heavenly Tribulation just passed, I cannot see clearly."

After Hun Yan finished speaking, Ye Chen's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Never mind, it's probably a dispute over profit."

Ye Chen said, having experienced so much, he now understood that in the world of cultivators, most things revolve around profit.

Even the initial Hunyan was chosen only because they saw the greatest benefit in him; but after going through so much together, their relationship has already changed.

At least, Ye Chen is now willing to risk his life for Hunyan, and Hunyan is equally willing to do the same for Ye Chen, even letting himself fall into slumber.

"Now, I will go deal with the heretics and make everyone who bullied Yun Yun pay the price!"

At the moment Ye Chen finished speaking, his figure vanished on the spot; although he hasn't yet broken through to Nascent Soul, the instantaneous disappearance still affected the surrounding space, producing faint cracks.

However, this crack appeared and disappeared quickly; the very next instant after Ye Chen's figure vanished, the void returned to its original state, as if that crack had never existed.
