Chapter 140: Three Dao Tripods, Ye Chen's Dao!
At this moment, before Ye Chen, the cultivation scenes of those Heavenly Proud appeared; they are genuine Heavenly Proud, and the celestial anomalies they cause make heaven and earth tremble!
Above the Nine Heavens, Ye Chen clearly saw ancient thunder patterns emerge, but they were not thunder; they were billions of mysterious trajectories that automatically traced runes.
Within those runes, a crimson figure exhaled foul vapors that turned into fire meteors streaking across the sky, but as the meteors fell they were ensnared by chains formed from laws materializing in the void, and each fire meteor displayed a phantom closing its eyes to grasp a secret technique.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim, "This is just too exaggerated!"
Ye Chen looked at the cultivating figure and spoke.
"No, if you lived in their era of complete innate laws and abundant spiritual power, you could also achieve it."
Hun Yan said at an unhurried pace.
"Don't be fooled by his exaggerated cultivation; that's not even all his power. As for him, I have some recollection—he is the 3,963rd disciple of the Reincarnation Immortal King and has received a bit of true transmission."
"The Reincarnation Immortal King has taken so many disciples in his lifetime?"
"That's actually relatively few. There is an Immortal King who accepted over a hundred thousand, but none obtained his true transmission."
"Do Immortal Kings all love taking disciples so much?"
"It's also to prepare for that great war; otherwise, why would an Immortal King take disciples? They usually devote themselves to cultivation."
After Hun Yan finished speaking, Ye Chen became even more curious about what kind of chaotic great era it was that made Immortal Kings eagerly recruit disciples, solely to face that terrifying chaotic world.
Boom—
In the distance, a sudden thunderous blast echoed, and the terrifying shockwave instantly caught Ye Chen's attention.
Ye Chen followed the sound and looked, discovering a silver-haired youth whose location was a glacier.
The roar on the icefield turned into a desolate long chant; the silver-haired youth slowly produced a star map in his hand, and gradually the star map he condensed began to spin counterclockwise, causing the ice crystals in the icefield to coalesce into a thirty-six-layer Ice Glass Divine Palace.
The palace resembled a suspended frozen galaxy, and within the hall a faint ice phoenix phantom could be seen carving jade tablets.
When the youth exhaled, the white mist he emitted turned into an ancient ice wyvern, which coiled and, while winding, retrieved falling stars back into the heavens.
The abyssal ice layer reflected a dense pattern of golden tadpole script, as if a Dao lineage from a frozen epoch was reviving through the cold frost; the frost flowers on the icefield suddenly blossomed into millions of crystal-clear Dao swords, their hilts engraved with ancient primordial seal characters.
"Has the river of time been frozen?"
Ye Chen, seeing this scene, asked in disbelief.
"No, he merely referenced the river of time to forge his own Dao, using the Dao of Ice to carve the river of time; the river of time has always been accessible only to great beings, so his Dao Clock wields unparalleled power, terrifying indeed. I recall that in the great war, he singlehandedly blocked an alien army of a hundred thousand."
Hun Yan said, his tone somewhat flat, but to Ye Chen it sounded incredibly terrifying.
Blocking a hundred thousand troops with his own strength—he had almost achieved that before, but the difference was that back then the beasts' cultivation levels were not very high, so he could block them.
But this silver-haired youth is different; among those hundred thousand troops, none have weak cultivation—each is far stronger than he is now!
Thus, this silver-haired youth's strength has reached what level!
Having witnessed the great era, Ye Chen realized his own insignificance, yet this only strengthened his invincible resolve.
Since it's a great era and they are already like this, why shouldn't I climb to the summit and see the view above?
Snap—
An indescribable change occurred within Ye Chen's body, mysterious and unfathomable.
Even Hun Yan didn't know what change had befallen Ye Chen; he only knew that since just now, Ye Chen seemed different.
"I have my own Dao!"
When Ye Chen uttered those words in his heart, his aura instantly underwent an ineffable change.
A hazy radiance flickered over him; at that moment, he seemed the master of this very world.
Hun Yan, seeing this, hurriedly warned, "To make your body the heavens and earth, to be a Dao Clock—this is beyond what heaven and earth will tolerate; if you force yourself onto this path, you will die!"
But at this moment, Ye Chen, already in his state, couldn't hear it; subconsciously he adjusted his posture, and his aura grew even stronger.
Rumble—
Heavenly Tribulation descends.
"Ye Chen, stop right now!"
Ye Chen heard Hun Yan's words, but ignored them and continued evolving.
At this moment, Ye Chen radiated an exceedingly profound aura; gradually, his own power transformed into three Dao Tripods.
The three Dao Tripods above his head each possessed divine abilities.
On the east side of each tripod, lava painted a Golden Crow bearing the sun diagram; on the west, ice crystals carved a moon toad pounding medicine pattern; on the south, flowing sand gathered into a He Luo Star Chart.
This is what Ye Chen deduced after seeing their cultivation; each pattern on the tripods contains the Dao of those three individuals, yet also beyond their Dao.
Whenever chaotic Qi swirls within the tripods, the world resounds with the sounds of morning and evening bells; mountains automatically adjust their veins, rivers unconsciously reroute into innate formation maps, and even the folds of clouds align with the hidden meridians of the human body.
Since witnessing their cultivation scene, Ye Chen is even more convinced of the path he must take—a truly invincible road, unafraid of any formidable foes ahead!
Boom—
Heavenly Tribulation falls!
Ye Chen looked up at the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky, his expression utterly indifferent.
The power of the Heavenly Tribulation was terrifyingly immense; Hun Yan, seeing this, prepared to fall into slumber again, but in the next instant the Tribulation suddenly vanished.
Hun Yan, witnessing this, was instantly bewildered, "What is happening?"
"It's nothing; the path failed, it must evolve again."
Ye Chen said, but this time his tone was exceedingly relaxed.
Hun Yan, after hearing Ye Chen's words, his eyes grew more puzzled, "The Heavenly Dao descended, proving that the Heavenly Dao has approved, confirming that your method is defying Heaven, so it shouldn't have failed."
Hun Yan spoke word by word, each sentence filled with confusion.
"Failed is failed; the Heavenly Dao's approval is its matter, I simply do not approve it."
"Hmm?"
"I dispersed it; I realized my path is different from what I thought. The invincible road I seek is not the one that abandons the seven emotions. While just now calculating, I found that this road requires me to cut off all emotions; I cannot do that, so I dispersed it."
After Ye Chen finished speaking, Hun Yan also understood what had happened: Ye Chen had dispersed his Dao himself, which also explains why the Heavenly Tribulation was about to fall yet suddenly vanished.
At that moment, Hun Yan also recalled something, "What about your three revered cauldrons?"
After Hun Yan finished asking, three revered cauldrons slowly materialized in Ye Chen's hand, and when Hun Yan saw them again, a look of astonishment instantly flashed in his eyes!
