Heavenly Lord Reappears, Seeking to Take His Place

Heavenly Lord Reappears, Seeking to Take His Place

At the Cosmic Frontier, the great tribulation continued, having reached its peak.

The Ten Vicious Imprints evolved by the Heavenly Tribulation had been forcefully shattered by Chen Zhao, completely dissipating between heaven and earth.

After the Ten Vicious Imprints vanished, a supreme heavenly palace emerged within the Heavenly Tribulation, radiating terrifying pressure as though it sought to suppress the Myriad Daos and destroy all laws.

Ancient figures stepped out from within, each emanating archaic and powerful might.

Among them were ethereal women and towering men. Their majestic auras pressed down upon the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, shaking the entire Universe.

At the sight of these figures, Chen Zhao's pupils narrowed slightly in surprise.

"Phantom images of Immortal Kings from the past!"

Chen Zhao had not expected heaven and earth to manifest the imprints of Immortal Kings from bygone days.

One had to know that Immortal Kings had been the strongest beings in this world during the Immortal Ancient Era, existences who could claim kingship even within the Immortal Dao Domain.

"Fight!"

Chen Zhao immediately calmed down. His aura surged as he pushed his own power to the limit. The Dao of Chaos filled the space around him, Myriad Daos intertwining and evolving boundless might!

"Sever!"

Chen Zhao raised the Chaos Sword in his hand and slashed forward, sending out a hazy streak of Chaos Sword Light.

At that instant, the entire Universe dimmed and plunged into darkness. The only remaining light was that Sword Light! A World-Shocking War began!

Though these Immortal King phantoms had merely been evolved by the Heavenly Tribulation, they still unleashed terrifying power.

The battle caused Myriad Daos to intertwine across the Cosmic Frontier, shattering countless abandoned starfields and leaving behind a scene of destruction.

After shattering the Immortal King phantoms evolved by the Heavenly Tribulation, Chen Zhao's figure emerged as the great tribulation came to an end.

Chen Zhao's clothes were now torn to pieces, and his body was covered in wounds, making him appear somewhat miserable.

The great dragon formed from his spine held aloft the Xiantai, poised to enter the Emperor Dao Domain.

The Five Great Secret Realms shone at this moment, forming a unique resonance as they underwent their final transformation in an instant!

All that remained was to merge his body with Heavenly Heart. That would be the final leap, allowing him to truly enter the Emperor Dao Domain.

Just then, a palm suddenly emerged from the void and pressed down upon Chen Zhao.

A single hand covered the sky!

That palm alone stretched across the entire starfield, emanating a towering aura.

A Supreme hidden behind the scenes had emerged. Now that Chen Zhao had just completed his tribulation, he was at his weakest.

"Just as I expected!" Coldness flashed through Chen Zhao's eyes as he spoke in a low voice.

A Dao Proving Tribulation was not merely a Heavenly Tribulation—it also included a human tribulation! The so-called human tribulation was when Supremes who had once undergone Self-Severance would move to hunt down those about to become Dao Provers! That was the terrifying aspect of the Dao Proving Tribulation. After surviving the Thunder Tribulation, one still had to face attacks from Forbidden Zone Supremes!

Facing the palm striking at him, Chen Zhao wielded the Chaos Emperor Sword and slashed forward!

Boom!

The Chaos Sword Light swung out, slashing open the boundaries of time and space before landing upon the palm!

The next moment, the palm immediately bled. Emperor Blood rained down, filling the sky, followed by a cold snort. "I underestimated you. You do have some skill."

As those words fell, a man clad in an ancient Daoist robe stepped out from the void. In his hand, he held a precious bottle forged from Immortal Tears Green Gold.

Most bizarrely, a strange medicinal branch shaped like a human body was inserted into that bottle.

"Emperor Lord's Humanoid Immortal Herb."

Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes. He immediately recognized the newcomer's identity and understood his purpose.

The moment he realized who this man was, he knew the conflict between them could no longer be reconciled.

Carefree Heavenly Lord!

One of the Nine Heavenly Lords of the Mythological Era, the creator of the Word Secret, and a Heavenly Lord said to have entered the domain of time.

"I never expected Carefree Heavenly Lord to still be Lingering on after all these years." Chen Zhao sneered.

As someone familiar with the plot, he naturally knew Carefree Heavenly Lord's future.

He had proven the Dao during the Mythological Era, then later possessed a Dao Prover-to-be named Yun Geng during the Ancient Era.

When Yun Geng was on the verge of proving the Dao, he chose Ultimate Sublimation.

He suppressed Yun Geng's Great Dao, seized his body, and fused their Primordial Spirits, Lingering on into the Later Generations.

But that had all been part of the plot in his previous life. The current Covering the Sky was a real world.

Yun Geng likely had yet to emerge, so Carefree Heavenly Lord had not possessed him and taken his place.

Now that Carefree Heavenly Lord had appeared before him, the outcome was self-evident.

He had clearly set his sights on Chen Zhao and intended to take his place.

"Hehe, I did not expect anyone to still recognize me after so long." Carefree Heavenly Lord's tone was calm. Though somewhat surprised inwardly, he did not show it.

Outside, all the observers were stunned.

Carefree Heavenly Lord of the Mythological Era had emerged once more. Could it be that he intended to seize the origin of this Dao Prover-to-be?

"Carefree Heavenly Lord truly is an ancient existence. I never expected him to still be alive after all this time."

"It seems we will not need to act. Since Carefree Heavenly Lord has appeared, this man has no chance. What a pity."

"I just wonder how much power Carefree Heavenly Lord still possesses."

The Supremes of the Life Forbidden Zones were also somewhat surprised. They had not expected a Heavenly Lord from the Mythological Era to reappear.

However, no one placed much importance on Carefree Heavenly Lord's appearance. In their eyes, only they themselves were invincible.

So what if he was a Heavenly Lord of the Mythological Era? As a Dao Prover, he would not be weaker than those Heavenly Lords.

"Fight!"

Chen Zhao knew their conflict could not be reconciled, so he could only respond to the challenge.

If Carefree Heavenly Lord wanted to take his place, he would first have to see whether he had the ability.

The two immediately clashed. Carefree Heavenly Lord moved with godlike speed, surpassing the utmost speed in the world and even affecting the stability of time and space!

Yet Chen Zhao, as a Chaos Body, could not be judged by ordinary standards. Moreover, he had long since passed the Dao Proving Tribulation; he simply had not yet merged with Heavenly Heart. His strength had already surpassed that of ordinary Ancient Emperors.

With the augmentation of the Chaos Body, Chen Zhao's power was even more terrifying.

Carefree Heavenly Lord brought the Word Secret to its utmost limit, his entire body radiating dazzling light like a True Immortal ascending to the heavens!

"I never imagined that you would be the legendary Chaos Body. It truly is astonishing!" Carefree Heavenly Lord wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his tone filled with shock.

He had initially believed Chen Zhao to be merely an ordinary Dao Prover-to-be, someone he could subdue through Ultimate Sublimation.

Later, he discovered that he had been wrong. The man before him could not be measured by ordinary standards. Though he had yet to merge with Heavenly Heart, the battle power he unleashed was in no way inferior to an Ancient Emperor's.

A Chaos Body.

He had never expected the strongest physique in the Universe to emerge.

During the Mythological Era, a Chaos Body had briefly appeared.

Though Immeasurable Heavenly Lord had severely wounded that Chaos Body, he himself had also been badly injured, suffering Dao wounds that could not be healed. Left with no choice, he passed away.

That Chaos Body had not yet proven the Dao. Now, after an entire era, another Chaos Body had appeared in this age.

And the one acting against this Chaos Body was once again Carefree Heavenly Lord, as though he corresponded to the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord of the previous era.

For a moment, Carefree Heavenly Lord was dazed.
