Chapter 2920: 坑帝

Chapter 2920: Keng Di

Boom! Rumble!

In the Tianhuang Starry Sky, the void buzzed and trembled, leaving countless people unsteady on their feet.

All the past Da Cheng Sheng Ti had arrived on the scene.

There were one hundred and thirty-one Sheng Ti, and with Ye Chen, that made one hundred and thirty-two. Each one shone like a blazing sun, radiating brilliant light across the world and exerting overwhelming pressure that shook the universe. Their formation was even more massive than Hong Yan's.

Boom!

Ye Chen made his move, shattering the heavens with a single step like a streak of golden light as he entered the Da Dao Tai Shang Tian.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The booming continued relentlessly as the one hundred and thirty-one Da Cheng Sheng Ti followed, each transforming into dazzling immortal lights streaking into the Tai Shang Tian.

This was a battlefield reserved for emperors, but also for the Da Cheng Sheng Ti.

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, Ye Chen's true Da Cheng Heavenly Tribulation officially began.

As the world looked on, Ba Yuan launched his attack, slamming a palm that collapsed the cosmos.

Ye Chen was equally dominant, unleashing his Ba Huang Fist in an unmatched strike that shattered the palm print and sent Ba Yuan flying with cracks forming across his body.

Then Chen Zhan charged in, sweeping forth a golden immortal sea that engulfed Ye Chen.

Ye Chen let out a resounding roar and cleaved through it with a palm, emerging like a soaring dragon. He collided head-on with Di Huang, taking a solid punch that cracked his powerful Sheng Ti. Before he could catch his breath, Ming Gu arrived, summoning an Eightfold Heavenly Dragon that whipped him away with eight divine dragons and eight tails, causing his newly reformed Sheng Ti to crack once more.

Boom!

Hong Yan joined the assault, her slender finger glowing with gold as it pierced through his chest. Only because Ye Chen had used a shifting immortal technique did it miss his head. Though Hong Yan was a female Sheng Ti, she was extraordinarily strong.

Roar! Clang!

In that same instant, Ye Chen activated his Eightfold Heavenly Dragon, while the female Sheng Ti summoned her Eightfold Divine Phoenix. The sight of eight dragons and eight phoenixes was incredibly spectacular.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The other Da Cheng Sheng Ti closed in, unleashing sword lights, fist shadows, and palm prints that blanketed the sky. Each attack was devastating enough to destroy heaven and earth, and before they even landed, the Da Dao Tai Shang Tian was already crumbling inch by inch.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Ye Chen spat blood repeatedly, his mighty Huang Gu Sheng Ti scattering blood and bones as he was nearly obliterated by his forebears.

At the same level and realm, in a one-on-one fight, no past Sheng Ti could match him.

Unfortunately, this was no solo tribulation—it was a group assault. Surviving it meant ascending to immortal heights; failing meant descending to the nine underworlds. From the moment the Da Cheng Tribulation began, he should have been prepared for this.

Boom!

As they spoke, Ba Yuan attacked again, his fist shattering all laws.

Boom!

Ye Chen's Sheng Ti grew heavy, avoiding a direct clash by using an emperor-level evasion technique to soar into the misty void.

Facing one hundred and thirty-one Sheng Ti alone was no joke.

Such a lineup would overwhelm even Xuan Yuan Di if he appeared; a head-on battle would surely end in death. To survive, one had to endure until the designated time, just like with the emperor's Dao law manifestations. Holding out that long would mean mission accomplished.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The ancestral Sheng Ti pressed on relentlessly, one after another, chasing Ye Chen across the sky without giving him a moment's respite. Like the Dao law manifestations, they lacked consciousness in this state, representing the will of the heavens.

This tribulation's purpose was to annihilate the one undergoing it. As long as Ye Chen lived, the attacks would not cease.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Golden blood flowers bloomed throughout the Da Dao Tai Shang Tian, all from Ye Chen, who struggled against the onslaught of the past Sheng Ti.

Gulp!

Below, countless people swallowed hard, their faces turning deathly pale. The battle scene was not only bloody but utterly brutal. Even an emperor would crumble under the assault of one hundred and thirty-one Sheng Ti. This was far more intense than Ye Chen's previous Quasi-Emperor Tribulation.

In the shadows, the Dong Huang Female Emperor furrowed her brows slightly.

Faced with so many Sheng Ti, even she couldn't hold out, and neither could Xuan Yuan Di.

"This way of fighting is getting dicey."

"I survived eight hundred tribulations; Ye Chen won't die. No one else might, but he won't."

"I believe that."

The Da Dao Tai Shang Tian was lively, and so was the Tianhuang Starry Sky. Whenever death was mentioned, everyone thought of a certain Great Chu Sovereign who came with his own resurrection armor. Over the years, his deaths and revivals had wrung out so many tears from them.

Awesome!

The Ming Emperor sat steadily on the Jie Ming Mountain, hands tucked away, uttering that word with deep meaning.

The Dao Ancestor said nothing, but his expression was similar.

For some reason, seeing Ye Chen getting hammered by one hundred and thirty-one Sheng Ti gave them an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Honestly, ever since Ye Chen's resurrection, the two of them had wanted to do exactly that.

But Ye Chen never went to the Tianming or underworld realms anymore; he just lounged at home and didn't drop by.

Puff!

As they watched, Ye Chen spat blood again, courtesy of Di Huang, who nearly shattered his Sheng Ti.

Awesome!

The Ming Emperor grew excited, letting out another cheer.

"Let's see how you like it!"

Those words echoed back at him, spoken by Ye Chen.

Boom! Rumble!

In the next instant, the underworld erupted with thunder, or more precisely, Jie Ming Mountain did.

Back in the human realm's Tai Shang Tian, Ye Chen was gone.

Indeed, he had changed locations to undergo his tribulation—a dream return to ancient times, straight to Jie Ming Mountain.

His arrival was one thing, but the one hundred and thirty-one Sheng Ti followed suit.

Thus, the one hundred and thirty-one Sheng Ti became two hundred and sixty-two. Half were Ye Chen's, and half were the Ming Emperor's. There was no helping it; by being on Jie Ming Mountain, he had unwittingly entered the tribulation's range.

"Go to hell!"

The Ming Emperor cursed furiously, his face turning pitch black in an instant. Was this even possible?

Boom!

What answered him was the assault of one hundred and thirty-one Sheng Ti. Within the tribulation's range, anyone—even a great emperor—would be forced to face it. Whoever entered would suffer the same tribulation as Ye Chen.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The scene that followed was utter chaos. A majestic emperor, a peak emperor at that, was being pummeled on the spot. In that moment, the Ming Emperor took countless hits, his indestructible emperor body stained with imperial blood.

It was worth noting that Di Huang's manifestation was the most ferocious in the attack.

After years in the underworld, Di Huang had one unfulfilled wish: to pin down the Ming Emperor and hammer him to death.

But the Ming Emperor was no ordinary emperor; a real fight would mean he couldn't win.

Today, his descendant had fulfilled that long-held desire. One Sheng Ti wasn't enough, so they brought two; if two weren't sufficient, then one hundred and thirty-one it was—all the past Sheng Ti, one by one, with numbers to spare.

"Damn, where did this Da Cheng Tribulation come from?"

"Is that... Ye Chen?"

The underworld suddenly buzzed with excitement. Whether catching ghosts, flirting, or brawling, everyone turned toward Jie Ming Mountain at once. What was once a peaceful mountain was now ravaged by lightning and flying debris, with the Ming Emperor's curses ringing out melodiously.

"You couldn't find anyone more shameless than this."

The God of Ren Wang's expression was priceless. The Da Cheng Tribulation was world-shaking, yet it had run to the underworld for crossing. Truly a sight to behold.

The legendary pit of great emperors—this was a perfect example.

"You bastard, you absolute bastard."

The Ming Emperor roared, slapping toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was quick on his feet, having anticipated it. With another dream return to ancient times, he was back in the human realm.

Puff!

The Ming Emperor vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, unsure if from injury or rage—it was infuriating beyond words.

"Keep cursing—let's see you try."

Ye Chen's voice echoed again as he returned to the human realm and came back, bringing the one hundred and thirty-one Sheng Ti with him.

"I'm done."

The Ming Emperor choked, spitting another mouthful of blood. Before he could steady himself, Di Huang's fist arrived.

Di Huang was there, and so were the other Sheng Ti, surrounding that certain emperor completely.

"The pleasures among supremes—I just don't get it."

The words of Niu Tou and Ma Mian hit the mark. They were all supremes; if they made a move, it was always on a grand scale.

Looking at the Dao Ancestor, he was stunned, his mouth twitching nonstop.

The Ming Emperor hadn't expected it, and neither had he. He had forgotten that Ye Chen mastered the dream return to ancient times—not only that, but he could withstand the tribulation's pressure to roam the underworld. One person coming was bad enough, but bringing the tribulation along made it awkward.

As he watched, the Dao Ancestor hastily put away his fishing rod and vanished.

Clearly, that Ye Chen fellow had no shame. If he could go to the underworld, he could go to the heavenly realm; if he could drag the Ming Emperor into the tribulation, he could do the same to him. If the Ming Emperor couldn't handle the assault, neither could he.

Facts proved he was wise to act first.

After visiting the underworld, that Ye Chen really went to the heavenly realm.

He went, and the one hundred and thirty-one Sheng Ti in the Da Cheng Tribulation followed, not one more, not one less.

The Sheng Ti, a massive group swooping in, carried an eye-catching aura of dominance.

The scene looked like Ye Chen leading one hundred and thirty-one underlings to raid the heavenly realm.

What could be said? It was lucky the Dao Ancestor had fled quickly; otherwise, the past Da Cheng Sheng Ti would have shown him what true dominance meant.

Heavenly tribulations were fair; the level matched one's cultivation.

"Can't deny it—you're cut from the same cloth as Di Zun."

In Buzhou Mountain, the Xuan Emperor's phantom clicked his tongue in amazement. Even an emperor's composure couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.

How many years had it been? He had never seen the Dao Ancestor flee before.

These days, he had truly witnessed it—and more than once.

The first time, Ye Chen dream-wandered, dealt with the Ming Emperor, then strolled to the heavenly realm.

This time was even bolder—no dream-wandering, just leading one hundred and thirty-one underlings.

In the Shura Domain, someone coughed dryly.

Not to boast, but even the silent Qian Mian Di Ying's gaze toward Ye Chen had changed—it was an ancient form of admiration. You were truly impressive! Through endless eons, you were the only one to make the Dao Ancestor flee twice.

Boom! Rumble!

The heavenly realm's Da Dao Tai Shang Tian thundered nonstop.

It was Ye Chen and the one hundred and thirty-one Sheng Ti. Not finding the Dao Ancestor, the tribulation had to continue.

He was a vengeful person.

The Dao Ancestor, hidden in the void, took a deep breath and stroked his beard meaningfully.

That was true.

After all, it was Ye Chen—who wouldn't hold a grudge? He still remembered the old days in the heavenly realm when the Dao Ancestor hung him from a tree.

Regrettably, he had come through the tribulation but hadn't found the Dao Ancestor.

"A greatly accomplished tribulation?"

"Is that... Ye Chen?"

The people of the heavenly realm stared blankly at the Tai Shang Tian, their eyes full of confusion and shock. How had Ye Chen ended up in the heavenly realm again? Not only him, but he had brought the tribulation along. Wasn't the human realm good enough for crossing it?

"What a divine figure!"

The God King of Creation was there too, grinning and clicking his tongue. Carrying a Da Cheng Heavenly Tribulation across realms—he had never seen that before.

If the God King of Creation knew what Ye Chen was up to, what would his expression be?

Daring to openly pit an emperor—Ye Chen was absolutely the first and only in all eternity.
