The Great Dao's Dread, a World-Destroying Tribulation, and a God Emperor's Palm That Scattered It!

Two figures appeared within the great hall.

One was an extraordinarily handsome man, with swordlike brows and star-bright eyes. Dressed in white robes, he looked like a sword immortal walking the mortal world.

The other was a woman in a Phoenix-patterned gown embroidered with golden thread, her figure tall and slender.

Upon seeing the two appear, the many elders of the Ye Family all bowed in unison, clasping their hands respectfully. "Greetings, Family Head! Greetings, Madam!"

The man was none other than the Ye Family's head, God Emperor Ye Junlin, while the woman was Yue Liuli, the Holy Master of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

"What's all this noise? You're disturbing my child's sleep."

Both gazed at the milky-white baby, their hearts brimming with affection.

"He is my child, Ye Junlin's son. So what if he has a mortal physique?"

"Let's call him Ye Tian. May it signify that throughout the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, my son shall be the absolute heaven!"

Ye Tian felt rather annoyed. He had been about to sleep. Who had disturbed his sweet dreams?

Irritated, he opened his eyes in frustration. Could these... be the parents I've landed in this life?

The reigning God Emperor and the Jade Pool Holy Master.

Seeing Ye Tian stare straight at them without crying or fussing, Ye Junlin and Yue Liuli felt their hearts melt.

“This is my child, Ye Junlin's son. Even if his talent is ordinary, he is still the Ye Family's Young Master.”

"I, Ye Junlin, will ensure he lives his entire life free of worry. Anyone who shows him even the slightest disrespect shall be killed without mercy!"

As his words fell, runes flowed around Ye Junlin's body, laws entwined him, and a formidable pressure swept outward.

The might of a God Emperor could destroy heaven and earth. No one could stand against it.

"We shall obey your command, Family Head!"

“Anyone who disrespects the Young Master shall die!”

The elders echoed him, their voices rolling outward like thunder.

Nothing concealed this exchange. Like the peals of great bronze bells, it resounded throughout the entire Eternal Ye Family.

Hearing those words, countless disciples knelt, not daring to raise their heads.

The young master truly had backing that towered to the heavens. With a God Emperor for a father and a Holy Master for a mother, anyone who dared provoke him in the future must be tired of living.

They immediately knelt and declared, “We honor the Young Master above all! The Young Master's command is the Heavenly Mandate!”

Wave after wave of voices rose and fell, echoing throughout the Eternal Ye Family.

But just then, a pair of blood-red eyes opened high in the boundless firmament. Overflowing with murderous intent, they stared at Ye Tian in the Eternal Ye Family's main hall, and a voice rang out that made all who heard it tremble in terror.

"The Eternal Ye Family's newborn, Ye Tian, is an anomaly unseen through the ages, beyond the Great Dao's control. A World-Destroying Tribulation shall descend to annihilate him!"

At those words, all sounds fell silent, and heaven and earth lost their color. The entire Eternal Immortal Domain heard the proclamation.

A mighty cultivator looked up at the sky and cried out upon seeing those blood-red eyes, "Isn't that the Heavenly Blood Eye?! The legendary World Annihilation Eye that administers slaughter on the Great Dao's behalf!"

Supreme emperors and even figures who had already attained godhood pierced the endless void with their gazes, looking toward the Eternal Ye Family in Imperial Pole Province.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Junlin slowly stepped forward and pointed one hand at the sky. "With me, Ye Junlin, here today, even heaven cannot touch my son!"

Then he stepped into the air, becoming a streak of light that shot into the void. Formidable power swept outward from him, like that of a supreme deity.

Holy shit, is this dad I've landed really that fierce? He dares defy the Great Dao!

Ye Tian was inwardly astonished. He had heard that his father was the reigning God Emperor, the strongest in all the heavens, invincible beneath the stars.

But he had never expected his father to dare clash head-on with the Great Dao!

With such invincible backing, unafraid even of the Great Dao, why the hell should he bother cultivating?

Wouldn't it be better to give up trying, lie back, and enjoy life in comfort?

He promptly spoke to the system in his mind. System, what do I even need you for? With Dad around, even the Great Dao can't touch me. Ah, forget it. I'll stop there before I hurt your feelings.

"Ding, ding, ding! System program malfunction..."

"Ding, ding, ding! The host's father is too badass. System upgrade commencing!"

"Ding, ding, ding! System upgrade in progress."

"Ding, ding, ding! System upgrade successful. Invincible Defense Mode unlocked!"

"Invincible Defense Mode: the host will ignore all lethal damage!"

"If subjected to lethal damage, the system's counterattack mechanism will trigger, killing the opponent in one strike!"

It had actually upgraded again, even adding some Invincible Defense Mode that ignored all lethal damage.

Ye Tian was speechless. This system was far too competitive.

Whenever anyone outshone it, it immediately wanted to upgrade and surpass them.

Whatever. As long as it doesn't interfere with me slacking off and lying back, it can do as it pleases.

Meanwhile, high in the boundless firmament, laws of destruction raged outward. The void collapsed into black holes. This power was so terrifying that even a God Sovereign would be killed instantly.

At the center of the Heavenly Blood Eye, lightning surged, and a Thunder Dragon hundreds of zhang long appeared. Purple tribulation lightning coiled around its body, accompanied by the Destructive Force that could shatter everything.

The Thunder Dragon barreled downward, sweeping away all before it like rotten wood, utterly unstoppable. Wherever it passed, runes crisscrossed and space shattered.

A mighty cultivator cried out, "This... is too terrifying! It is far beyond anything human strength can withstand!"

Even supreme powerhouses who had entered the divine realm would probably become nothing but dry bones in a grave beneath this Thunder Dragon.

As everyone watched, Ye Junlin stood in white robes, ethereal and unworldly, like an immortal god among mortals. His imperious gaze swept across the eight wildernesses.

"The Great Dao is nothing more than this."

Ye Junlin thrust his palm toward the endless heavens.

Between the vast heavens and earth, an enormous palm imprint manifested. Chaos raged, immortal energy surged outward, and it seemed the world itself would effortlessly crumble.

One thought birthed chaos; one thought destroyed worlds!

The enormous palm imprint collided with the hundred-zhang-long World Annihilation Thunder Dragon.

Boom!

When everyone looked again, the hundred-zhang-long World Annihilation Thunder Dragon, with all its boundless power, had vanished into nothingness.

Between heaven and earth, only a white-robed figure remained, enduring through eternity, undefeated through the ages, like a god.

Just as the members of the Ye Family cheered, Ye Tian was getting ready to fall asleep.

He had not slept properly since his birth. At last, he could sleep in peace.

Yue Liuli gazed at the child in her arms, filled with affection, and kissed him.

But just then, a figure emerged from a dark corner of the main hall, shrouded in black mist, with blood-red pupils and a dark blade in hand.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the child in Yue Liuli's arms, resolving to kill him.

With a single step, he crossed space. In less than one ten-millionth of an instant, he was already close to Ye Tian.

The change came so suddenly that neither the elders nor Yue Liuli could react.

The black blade stabbed toward Ye Tian, carrying the full force of a God Venerable's strike.

No one beneath the divine realm could survive it, much less a newborn infant.

At that critical moment, light flickered around Ye Tian, and a golden shield rose.

It actually negated all the damage from the black blade. A beam of light shot outward, piercing straight through the black-robed God Venerable's forehead.

Even as he died, the black-robed powerhouse did not understand what had happened.

Ye Tian, meanwhile, had escaped the fright unscathed and only just registered what had happened.

No wonder the system's voice had suddenly sounded in his mind a moment earlier: "Ding! Invincible Defense Mode activated!"

"Ding! Imminent lethal damage to the host detected. System counterattack initiated automatically. Attacker eliminated!"

The elders and Yue Liuli looked at the God Venerable already lying on the floor, then at the baby still wrapped in swaddling clothes, their hearts filled with astonishment.

A God Venerable had tried to assassinate Ye Tian, only to fail and die in such an inexplicable manner.

And all of it had happened in an instant. They had had no time to react.

They promptly turned their gazes toward Ye Tian. This boy was definitely not as ordinary as he appeared. He absolutely harbored a secret.

Yet no matter how they examined him, they could discover nothing.

Even using the Ye Family's Secret Art yielded not a single clue.

After resisting the heavenly tribulation, Ye Junlin returned to the great hall.

Upon learning what had happened, he first seized the assassin's corpse with one hand and used the Reincarnation Soul-Searching Art to uncover the force behind him.

"Hmph. Let me see exactly which faction dares lay a hand on a God Emperor's son!"
