Chapter 172: Heavenly Dao's Lament——Immortal Bridge

After seeing off Lu Chunhua, Hun Yan looked toward Ye Chen again; at this moment Ye Chen had already battled together with the Chaos Whale.

If this Chaos Whale were from this era, Hun Yan would certainly not show such a solemn expression, for this Chaos Whale is not a cultivator of this era but of his era; that is the most terrifying aspect.

This time, Ye Chen even used the power of the three-layer Extreme Boundary.

Taiji Creation Diagram, Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder, the full power of the three-layer Extreme Boundary all burst forth, and Ye Chen's aura also reached a terrifying peak.

He still had one last trump card, that being his strongest trump card, which is his Dao.

He cannot yet use this power, for the Myriad Spirits Tribulation will certainly not send only a few spirits; more powerful and numerous spirits will surely follow, so Ye Chen cannot use it now.

Each time he balances against a spirit stronger than himself, Ye Chen suffers severe backlash, unless the opponent's cultivation is roughly equal to his.

Even so, it will still not be that easy.

At this moment, Ye Chen and the Chaos Whale are locked in a difficult-to-separate battle.

The meteors and stars in this nearby starry sky have been obliterated by their strikes.

Even the void has been shattered by them.

At this very moment, the Chaos Whale suddenly emitted an extremely strange aura; Hun Yan, seeing this, couldn't help but shout, "Ye Chen, be careful, he wants to drag you into the void!"

Although Hun Yan's words were finally spoken, the Chaos Whale had already unleashed his divine ability; in the next instant, Ye Chen and the Chaos Whale vanished from the spot.

Although Ye Chen's figure disappeared from the spot, his Heavenly Tribulation had not ended and continued to condense.

"The Myriad Spirits Tribulation—the first three are merely appetizers; what comes after is the true……Myriad Spirits."

"Ye Chen……"

And at this time, Lu Chunhua also flew back.

He gazed at the desolate, empty starry sky and asked in puzzlement, "Where is little Yezi? Could he not have been dragged into the void?"

"En."

After receiving Hun Yan's affirmative answer, Lu Chunhua showed a frightened expression.

"It's over, over; we might as well split up. If dragged into the void, what chance does he have? That's practically the Chaos Whale's home—fighting in someone else's home, how can we fight?"

Boom——

Lu Chunhua flew away once again.

"If you can't speak, then don't speak."

Hun Yan's tone remained flat, yet this time his voice betrayed deep worry.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, who had been dragged into the void, furrowed his brows as he looked at the lifeless space around him.

"Is this the Chaos Whale's divine ability?"

Ye Chen could clearly feel that his cultivation was being restricted.

Moreover, his spiritual power within was rapidly dissipating.

"No wonder Hun Yan said the void created by the Chaos Whale differs from the void he was born in; this place is essentially a land where all spirits are exterminated."

Ye Chen thought this, and the next moment the Chaos Whale appeared before him, bearing an unmatched aura.

Boom——

Ye Chen unleashed the Taiji Creation Diagram to barely block this strike of the Chaos Whale, though his spiritual power was also being rapidly consumed.

"Damn, I can't go on like this; it's too passive. If I keep being drained like this, I will surely die."

Ye Chen said this, and slowly, a power not belonging to this world emanated from within him.

This is his Dao; originally he did not want to use it so early, but the current situation forced him to.

Plans often fail to keep up with changes.

"Way of Balance!"

Ye Chen shouted loudly; in an instant he seemed to become the master of this void, himself no longer affected, while the Chaos Whale before him saw his spiritual power rise to the same level as Ye Chen's.

"Come on!"

Whoosh——

Ye Chen's figure swiftly vanished from the spot; when he reappeared, he was already behind the Chaos Whale and kicked out with a whip leg, but the Chaos Whale raised a hand to block it.

Although the Chaos Whale blocked Ye Chen's whip leg, his hand fared no better—its bones shattered completely, almost turning to soft flesh.

Ye Chen pressed the attack; the Taiji Creation Diagram appeared all around the Chaos Whale, and Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder fell from above.

The power of the three-layer Extreme Boundary continually bolstered his strength.

At this moment, Ye Chen fought to sustain battle, growing braver with each fight.

However, as a Chaos Whale born in the great age of cultivation, how could he be so easily defeated?

Suddenly, a mark appeared on the Chaos Whale's brow, resembling misty vapor and also the alternating sun and moon.

When this mark appeared, the Chaos Whale's injuries instantly healed.

Seeing this, Ye Chen's expression became extremely solemn.

"Isn't this cheating?"

In fact, this is even more exaggerated than cheating; at the moment the mark appears, the Chaos Whale's injuries are unconditionally restored, and if there were no limit on uses, this would practically be a battle maniac.

Ye Chen once again marveled at the battles that occurred in Hun Yan's era; such pure-blooded descendants of that race left no trace, only mixed-blood offspring from interbreeding with other races remained.

However, this is clearly not the time for Ye Chen to think about that; after the Chaos Whale healed his wounds, he came at Ye Chen again to kill.

This time, the Chaos Whale's aura was even more ferocious.

If Ye Chen had not previously used his Way of Balance to equilibrate the Chaos Whale as well, this battle would have had almost no suspense.

Having exhausted all his means, he was only about evenly matched with the Chaos Whale; however, Ye Chen still possessed an invincible heart, which is not a power but his belief.

Moreover, he has not yet reached the end; a dark age is imminent, his family has nowhere to take refuge, and the people he cares about he may not even be able to protect—this is something he absolutely will not allow.

Ye Chen pondered these matters, and gradually his aura underwent another change.

His Way of Balance was continually being perfected.

Slowly, he seemed no longer constrained by balanced cultivation, balanced space; he began to balance… all things and all spirits.

Since the Great Dao is not benevolent, why must he follow this Great Dao?

He wants… the Equilibrium Great Dao!

In the next instant, his Dao stepped into the second realm—the Immortal Bridge.

Using his own gushing spring eye as the foundation, he built a bridge upon it; where this bridge leads is still unknown, but his second realm has indeed truly appeared.

At the moment his second realm appeared, the Heavenly Dao actually wailed; the aura of the Chaos Whale instantly became unstable.

Ye Chen's power does not belong to this world, nor to this era; therefore, at the moment his power appeared, the world… changed.

Then the third round… now officially begins.

Ye Chen looked at the Chaos Whale and said coldly.

In the next instant, he charged at the Chaos Whale.

……

And outside, the Turbid Eye, who is extremely sensitive to the aura of the Heavenly Dao, clearly sensed all this; he was instantly shocked, "The Heavenly Dao is wailing—what on earth is happening inside?!"
