After the Great Dao Suppression of the Sun Saint Emperor dissipated, the universe became active once more.

Ancient lineages and Ancient Races returned, once again reigning over the Cosmic Eight Desolations.

Prodigies and monstrous talents previously sealed within Divine Source emerged, seeking to contend for this era's opportunity to prove the Dao.

At the Cosmic Frontier, a black-clad young man with a cold expression sat cross-legged, his eyes closed as he sank into deep Wu Dao.

Suddenly, the youth's Dao aura surged wildly. The aura around him crossed a certain threshold and entered a mysterious realm.

When that aura rose to a certain level, heaven and earth immediately sensed it.

The great tribulation of Dao Proving descended! The terrifying aura of the Thunder Tribulation covered the Cosmic Eight Desolations, shocking every living being in the universe! Someone had triggered the Dao Proving Tribulation! Throughout the universe, every major race and lineage used Supreme Dao Weapons to look toward the Cosmic Frontier.

"Is the struggle to prove the Dao in this era finally coming to The End?" an unparalleled prodigy sighed as he looked toward the Cosmic Frontier.

There could only be one Dao Prover in an era. If this person succeeded in crossing the tribulation, they could only seal themselves within Divine Source and wait for the next Golden Great Era.

At that moment, even certain forbidden existences were alarmed. They gazed toward the Cosmic Frontier, their eyes flickering as no one knew what they were plotting.

The vast Thunder Tribulation was incomparably terrifying, covering the Cosmic Frontier. The power of every bolt of lightning was enough to destroy a Life Star and annihilate all living things.

"So it has come to this?" The black-clad youth, Chen Zhao, rose to his feet and walked toward the Heavenly Tribulation.

He was a transmigrator from Blue Star. He had never expected to transmigrate into the Zhetian Universe, much less into the Ancient Era, when the Human Race's upper-echelon strength was at its weakest.

In the Ancient Era, the Ancient Races rose to power, and the Myriad Races all revered the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

The Ancient Myriad Races primarily suppressed the Human Race as well.

In Life Star Regions such as the Big Dipper, the Human Race had even been reduced to livestock.

The reason for all this was that the Human Race had gone too long without an emperor reigning over the universe.

The Ancient Era was the era of the Ancient Races. Every Imperial Clan had produced Ancient Emperors who suppressed All Heavens and the universe.

During the Human Race's decline, the two Saint Emperors of Taiyin and Sun emerged. The successive appearance of the Two Human Emperors allowed the Human Race to break free from its weakened state.

Ever since transmigrating into the Zhetian Universe, Chen Zhao had understood deeply just how dangerous this world was.

Not to mention the Dark Supremes hidden behind the scenes, there was also the Darkness and Bizarreness that Number Ten had severed from eternity and isolated beyond the world.

Each of them was a deadly crisis.

In this Golden Great Era, he had finally cultivated to the point where he could trigger the Dao Proving Tribulation.

As long as he succeeded in crossing the tribulation, he would be able to control his own fate.

Rumble!

The boundless divine tribulation was vast. Even the barren stars at the Cosmic Frontier shattered in an instant and vanished into nothingness.

Chen Zhao appeared entirely at ease before the great tribulation, with not a trace of panic on his face as he faced the Heavenly Tribulation alone.

The Heavenly Tribulation began to evolve. The Thunder Sea filling the sky churned and transformed into legendary supreme immortal spirits.

The True Dragon roared toward the heavens, the Vermillion Bird bathed in Immortal Fire, the White Tiger manifested Killing Intent, and the Black Tortoise raised raging waves! Four Spirits!

These were immortal spirits from countless eras ago. They had once left imprints upon this world, and were now evolved by heaven and earth, recreating their former supreme elegant demeanor!

The Four Spirits evolved by the Heavenly Tribulation did not seem like lifeless entities. Intelligence shone in their eyes.

As though revived from ancient history, they lunged at Chen Zhao to kill him.

A longsword radiating Chaos Qi appeared and fell into Chen Zhao's hand.

Gripping the sword in his hand, Chen Zhao slashed at the Four Spirits evolved from the Thunder Tribulation.

The terrifying Chaos Sword radiance tore through the Thunder Tribulation, making even Void tremble. A single strike made the Four Spirits bleed and shatter.

Even without successfully crossing the tribulation, the might Chen Zhao exuded was still no weaker than that of a Supreme, his aura towering into the heavens.

Because Chen Zhao possessed a Chaos Body!

His mother had possessed a Yin Body, while his father had been a Sun Body. From the union of the two, Chen Zhao, their Bloodline Descendant, had become a supreme Chaos Body.

Unfortunately, his parents in this life had died in battle when he was still young.

Both of Chen Zhao's parents in this life had been Human Race sages, dying in battle for the survival of the Human Race.

Although he knew that he possessed a Chaos Body, Chen Zhao was not the slightest bit arrogant.

No matter how outstanding or heaven-defying one's physique was, it only became useful after one had matured.

Otherwise, it was merely a child carrying gold bricks through a busy market, inviting the covetous eyes of others.

After all, during the Mythological Era, his Chaos Body senior, Wang Bo, had taught him that one had to keep a low profile and not be too reckless.

Wang Bo, despite possessing a Chaos Body, had been killed by the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord of that era. Even his body had been refined into the Big Dipper Star.

As for why he, a Chaos Body, had never appeared in the original work, Chen Zhao could only infer that he had died young, leaving not the slightest trace in history.

With the aid of his Golden Finger, an ancient Bronze Gate, Chen Zhao had used the Bronze Gate to conceal the secrets of his physique after arriving in this world.

Chen Zhao did not know the origin of the Bronze Gate. He only knew that it could suppress his own fortune and conceal his aura.

It could even absorb fortune from the outside world, allowing everything he did to proceed smoothly.

Thus, on the path of cultivation, he collected the ancient scriptures of the Two Human Emperors of Taiyin and Sun.

Since no Chaos Body had ever proved the Dao, there was no ancient scripture suited for a Chaos Body's cultivation.

Therefore, the Yin Ancient Scripture and the Yang Ancient Scripture were the ancient scriptures most suited to his cultivation.

With the aid of the two great ancient scriptures, Chen Zhao had also carved out his own path and reached the crucial moment of proving the Dao and becoming an emperor.

As a heaven-defying physique, the Chaos Body was favored by the Myriad Daos of heaven and earth, making cultivation seem divinely assisted.

However, the Heavenly Tribulation it faced during tribulation crossing was enough to make ordinary Dao Provers gasp in astonishment.

The Ten Vicious Imprints of the Previous Era were evolved by the Heavenly Tribulation and charged at Chen Zhao from every direction.

Facing the Ten Vicious evolved by heaven and earth, even Chen Zhao, despite being a Chaos Body, still felt pressure.

If any other Dao Prover encountered such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, he would likely perish on the spot.

It was simply too terrifying. Even the Supremes hidden behind the scenes were alarmed by the power of this Heavenly Tribulation.

If the tribulations they had faced back then had been this terrifying, they would likely have died with bitter resentment.

"Has another Golden Great Era arrived? What kind of physique does this later generation possess, to trigger such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation?"

An ancient Supreme could not help but cry out. Even with their pride, they had to acknowledge the terror of this Heavenly Tribulation.

For an ordinary Dao Prover to successfully cross it was nothing more than a fantasy.

"This Human Race cultivator is far too terrifying. If he succeeds in crossing the tribulation, he may bring about further disaster."

"A layer of mist surrounds him, making it impossible to see his physique. Yet judging from the vitality and blood he exudes, if this emperor can devour his origin, it will be enough to extend my Lifespan."

A Supreme spoke coldly, his tone filled with covetousness.

He had clearly regarded Chen Zhao as prey, intending to devour his essence, blood, and origin to extend his own Lifespan.

This is my first time writing. Please excuse me.
