Chapter 832 The God of War Returns, the Heavens Fall Silent! A Single Hand Covers the Path to Heaven
The Academy of War Gods, a sacred and pure land suspended above the North Sea.
Enveloped in celestial mist, the islands are scattered like stars, each adorned with cascading silver waterfalls and leaping mythical beasts.
Ancient chanting echoed in the void.
"Boom!"
Above the sky, the void was violently torn apart like a painting, and a huge black rift stretched across the heavens.
Accompanied by billowing chaotic energy and the sounds of fierce battle, a magnificent golden divine ship, like an ancient behemoth bathed in the blood of gods and demons, slowly sailed out.
The hull of the divine vessel was covered with knife marks and arrow holes, marks left by the storms of the Boundary Sea, and dark red blood was flowing there.
Every drop of blood emanated a breathtaking divine aura.
"They're back! It's the team from the Boundary Sea Trial!"
"That's the Chaos Divine Ship of the God Emperor's son! He actually returned alive, and his aura... seems even stronger!"
In an instant, the entire War God Academy was in an uproar.
Countless divine rainbows shot into the sky, densely packed, representing the students and instructors within the academy, all eager to witness the outcome of this trial as soon as possible.
The Shenzhou spacecraft hovered, its weight pressing down on the sky.
Ye Tian stood at the bow of the ship, his white clothes fluttering in the wind. Although there was not a trace of blood on his clothes, he looked like a peerless sword that had just drunk its fill of blood and was sheathed.
That restrained sharpness, that indifference that regards all things as straw dogs, makes everyone who looks into it feel their eyes sting and their souls about to break.
Behind him, Huang Ruoxi, Xiao Yan, Su Qinglian and others lined up in order.
Although they were slightly tired, each of them had undergone a qualitative transformation in their spirit and energy, and their eyes showed the determination and killing intent that came from being tempered by life and death.
"It really is Ye Tian! He...he's completely unharmed!"
A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.
Immediately following was a deafening cheer.
"The Divine Child is invincible! The Divine Child is truly invincible!"
"Hahahaha! I knew it! How could a mere Boundary Sea possibly trap the true dragon of my Eternal Immortal Realm?"
"Look at the bloodstains on that divine ship, it must have slain countless great enemies! How magnificent are the geniuses of our Immortal Realm!"
Those young prodigies who had also crossed over from the Eternal Immortal Realm were all flushed and trembling with excitement.
However, in stark contrast to the jubilation on one side, there was a deathly silence and oppression on the other.
That was the native elite camp of the Northern Sea.
They stared intently at the divine vessel, their eyes frantically searching through the crowd, trying to find the figures of the prodigies of their own clans and sects.
However, as time went by, their faces grew paler and paler, eventually turning into despair and ashen.
"No...no..."
"Where is my young master? Where is Crown Prince Ao Yuan? Where is the Corpse Demon Prince? Where is Lord Xingyun?"
"Why are only Ye Tian's men here? Where are all the top talents of Beihai?!"
Fear spread among the crowd.
Until a small clan cultivator who had managed to escape from the edge of the Boundary Sea returned.
With a trembling voice, he uttered a sentence that sent chills down everyone's spine.
"They're all dead..."
"In the battle of Fallen Immortal Ridge, Ye Tian alone stood firm throughout eternity..."
"Crown Prince Ao Yuan was smashed to pieces with a single palm strike, Corpse Demon Prince was captured alive, and Lord Xingyun committed suicide..."
"And dozens of members of the royal family, the heirs of the imperial family, were all... all slaughtered by him like chickens!!!"
"what?!"
This news was like a meteorite weighing billions of tons crashing into the deep sea, stirring up towering waves.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Those were the pinnacle of our Beihai's younger generation! How could they have been completely wiped out?!"
"Ye Tian! You're a devil! You're a butcher!"
Countless cultivators from the North Sea had bloodshot eyes, filled with grief and indignation.
They looked at Ye Tian, who stood high above them, and if the hatred in their eyes could materialize, they would have already torn him to pieces.
This is so tragic!
This battle directly broke the backbone of the younger generation in Beihai, leaving Beihai facing a shortage of successors for thousands of years to come.
"quiet!"
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, an old man's shout came from the void.
Several terrifying figures materialized; they were high-ranking elders of the War God Academy, as well as several supreme elders responsible for guiding them.
Their gazes as they looked at Ye Tian were incredibly complex.
Shock, horror, admiration, fear...
A mix of emotions.
"True God at the Ninth Heaven...and with a perfect Dao Foundation and a flawless physical body..."
An elderly sage who had lived for countless years suddenly gleamed with a sharp light in his cloudy old eyes—a mixture of delight at the sight of something new and awe at the impossible.
"How long has it been? When he went in, he was only at the initial stage of True God, and when he came out, he had reached the peak of True God, only one step away from God King."
"What's even more terrifying is the aura emanating from him..."
Another elite mentor took a deep breath and whispered.
"That is an invincible aura that can only be cultivated by slaying countless great enemies and even bathing in the blood of... even stronger beings!"
"This child has already become a force to be reckoned with; he cannot be stopped by human power."
The elders exchanged glances, each seeing the resolve in the other's eyes.
No matter how angry the various clans of Beihai are, the War God Academy must protect Ye Tian!
Because this is a promising talent destined to attain enlightenment and even surpass the God Emperor!
"In the trials, life and death are determined by fate; the victor takes all!"
The Grand Elder's majestic voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, silencing all the clamor.
"Ye Tian's ability to return alive is his own doing. If he was inferior in skill and died, he could only blame himself for not being good enough!"
"It's all gone!"
This statement effectively defined the nature of the matter.
Although the geniuses of Beihai were heartbroken and filled with rage, they ultimately dared not act rashly under the majesty of the academy and the watchful gaze of this white-robed god of death.
They could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger, letting it all dissipate with a heart full of grief and indignation.
But everyone knows that this is merely the calm before the storm.
If the major imperial clans were to learn of this, it would surely trigger a cataclysmic earthquake!
As the eye of the storm, Ye Tian didn't even lift an eyelid from beginning to end.
He watched the dispersing crowd, a faint sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
"A bunch of sore losers."
Then, he piloted the divine ship, transforming into a streak of light, and flew straight towards the Palace of the God of War.
………………
The Palace of War God is magnificent yet desolate.
Here, the clouds and mist swirl, and cranes cry out, creating a world apart from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
"call……"
Upon landing, Xiao Yan collapsed onto the ground without any regard for his image, panting heavily.
"This trip to the Boundary Sea is so exciting! It's been more amazing than the last twenty years of my life combined."
"Yes."
Su Qinglian wiped the bloodstains off the jade sword, her eyes sparkling.
"After this battle, I feel that my sword heart has become more clear."
Huang Ruoxi silently walked behind Ye Tian, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration and concern.
"Master, you..."
Ye Tian waved his hand, indicating that it was alright.
He turned around and looked at his followers who had risked their lives for him, a hint of gentleness appearing in his eyes.
"You did well in this trial."
"I haven't disgraced Ye Tian, nor have I disgraced the Immortal Realm."
Ye Tian waved his sleeve, and several streams of light flew out and landed in front of everyone.
Those were several storage rings, containing some resources he had casually scavenged in the Boundary Sea.
It may be useless to him, but it is an invaluable treasure to Xiao Yan and the others.
"The outside world is likely to be in turmoil in the coming days."
"The major imperial clans will not let this go, but that's my business."
"What you need to do is go into seclusion and reflect."
Ye Tian's voice became serious, like a resounding bell, awe-inspiring and intimidating.
"The True God Realm is just the beginning."
"Although you have made a breakthrough this time, your foundation is a bit too impetuous because of the rapid improvement."
"I want you to spend three months forgetting all your supernatural powers and all your glory, and to reforge yourselves, tempering every inch of your flesh and blood and every strand of divine power to the extreme."
"If you cannot do it, you are not worthy to follow me on the path to becoming a God King!"
"Yes! I will obey Master's command!"
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and bowed in unison in agreement.
They knew that their master was paving the way for them and placing high hopes on them.
After arranging everything, Ye Tian did not linger.
He flashed and entered the main hall at the deepest part of the War God Palace.
"Boom!"
As the heavy bronze gate closed, layers of intricate imperial-level restrictions were instantly activated.
This palace was completely isolated from the world.
The hall was spacious and dark.
Only one luminous pearl emitted a soft glow.
Ye Tian sat cross-legged on the enlightenment stone bed, took a deep breath, and adjusted his energy and spirit.
"Finally... it's quiet."
A barely suppressed fervor flashed in his eyes.
The greatest gain from this trip to the Boundary Sea was not the number of geniuses killed, nor the immortal herb.
But...
"Come out."
With a thought, Ye Tian's inner world roared.
"Buzz!"
The void trembled, and a gigantic phantom of a chaotic furnace appeared.
Immediately afterwards, a mangled corpse, still radiating a suffocating pressure, slowly floated down from the furnace and hovered in front of Ye Tian.
The mutilated corpse of the God Emperor!
Although the corpse had lost its head, its chest was crushed, and even its dark will had been completely erased.
But he is, after all, the God Emperor!
Even a broken bone or a drop of dried blood contains the Great Dao Laws that can crush eternity.
At this moment, the mutilated corpse floated there silently, and the surrounding void was constantly collapsing and reforming, as if the very laws of heaven and earth were afraid of its existence.
That faint imperial aura, even across countless years, still caused Ye Tian's true god body to feel waves of stinging pain.
"What a magnificent corpse of a divine emperor..."
Ye Tian reached out and gently stroked the cold armor on the mutilated corpse.
My fingertips felt the vicissitudes of time and the accumulation of strength.
"He shed his last drop of blood for humanity in life, but after death he was corrupted by darkness and could not find peace."
"Senior, I, Ye Tian, will borrow your body today to prove my invincible path."
"Your power will accompany me to wipe out the source of darkness, which can be considered as... fulfilling your last wish."
Ye Tian bowed slightly to the remains of the corpse with a solemn expression.
This is a sign of respect for the strong and a tribute to the wise men of the past.
After the ceremony, Ye Tian's eyes instantly turned sharp as knives.
On the path of spiritual practice, one either progresses or regresses.
To break through to the God-King realm, he not only needs to break with convention but also needs to forge a unique foundation for all eternity.
Ordinary resources, even immortal elixirs, are insufficient to satisfy his bottomless chaotic body.
Only this divine emperor's body is the best resource for him to break through to the next realm!
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique - Forging Eternity!"
Ye Tian gave a low shout and formed a strange hand seal with his hands.
"boom!"
The chaotic furnace behind him instantly solidified, transforming into a crimson divine furnace. On the furnace wall, countless totems of divine birds and beasts seemed to come alive, emitting earth-shattering roars.
The furnace lid was lifted, and the remains of the God Emperor were swallowed whole!
"Bear bear bear—"
The Chaos True Fire ignited instantly.
This is no ordinary fire, but a Great Dao fire ignited by Ye Tian's essence, energy, and spirit as fuel and the Nine Extremes Dao Source as the spark!
"Zizzizi..."
The corpse of the Divine Emperor floated in the furnace, initially motionless, as if it were impervious to all eons.
But as time went by, under the relentless burning of the Chaos True Fire, the indestructible imperial body finally began to show signs of softening.
Strands of golden threads were extracted from the corpse.
That is the law of the Divine Emperor! It is the origin of the Imperial Way!
"Suck!"
Ye Tian opened his mouth and inhaled.
The golden threads, like rivers flowing into the sea, entered his body through his mouth and nose.
"boom!"
The instant the thread entered his body, Ye Tian felt a loud bang in his mind, as if a giant who had created the world was wielding a divine axe in his sea of consciousness.
Severe pain!
A tearing, excruciating pain!
That was the natural rejection and crushing of the true god's body by the laws of the imperial way.
If it were an ordinary person, or even a god-king, they would probably explode and die right now.
But Ye Tian gritted his teeth and remained silent.
The two hundred and six immortal bones within his body were vibrating wildly, each rune glowing, tightly locking in that violent power.
"Give it to me... to refine!"
Ye Tian's eyes were filled with madness.
He guided that power, cleansing every inch of his meridians and every drop of his blood.
He is using the laws of the God Emperor to reshape his physical body!
Time slowly passed in the tedious and painful practice.
One day... ten days... one month...
Outside the Palace of the God of War, all was calm.
Inside the Palace of the God of War, however, lies a completely different world.
As more and more of the essence of the Divine Emperor was refined, Ye Tian's aura underwent earth-shattering changes.
His skin began to glow with a faint purplish-gold luster, a sign of immortality.
His blood, as it flowed, emitted a thunderous sound like the clash of swords and the thunder of horses, as if an invincible army was waging war within his body.
His bones were crystal clear to the extreme, with more and more runes imprinted on them, and even faintly showing the beginnings of an imperial aura.
Until the third month.
When the last wisp of essence from the remnant corpse of the God Emperor was completely drained, turning into a handful of ashes and dissipating in the furnace.
"Boom!"
A deep, muffled heartbeat came from Ye Tian's body.
This sound was no longer confined to the palace, but traveled through layers of restrictions to the outside world.
Throughout the entire War God Academy, whether they were disciples cultivating or elders in seclusion, everyone felt their hearts suddenly clench.
Followed by.
"Boom!!!"
it's dark.
It wasn't nightfall, but rather endless dark clouds that instantly enveloped the entire War God Academy and even covered the entire North Sea region spanning tens of thousands of miles.
The dark clouds were as thick as an ancient demonic mountain, pressing down on people and making it hard to breathe.
There was no lightning or thunder within the clouds.
There was only an aura of destruction that sent chills down one's spine...
"What...what is this?!"
"Heavenly Tribulation? No, this is no ordinary divine tribulation!"
"This aura... could it be... the legendary forbidden heavenly tribulation?!"
Deep within the War God Academy, several Supreme Elders rushed out in horror, their faces pale as they stared at the dark, oppressive sky.
"The Chaotic Body... This is the great tribulation for the Chaotic Body to step into the God-King Realm!"
"Heaven is jealous of talent! This is because the heavens will not allow such a prodigy to be born and will send down a world-destroying calamity!"
Inside the Palace of the God of War.
Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes no longer held their former sharpness; instead, they held a profound and all-encompassing wisdom.
It was as if he had gone through a cycle of reincarnation during these three months of seclusion.
He slowly stood up, his joints cracking like popping beans.
"The ultimate realm of true godhood has been broken..."
Ye Tian looked up, his gaze passing through the palace dome and directly at the world-destroying calamity clouds in the sky.
A wild and unruly smile slowly crept onto his lips.
"The Tribulation of the God King?"
"Just in time."
"I, Ye Tian, will today tread upon the will of all the heavens throughout the ages..."
"Seal the king!"
"boom!"
Ye Tian took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared into the palace.
The next moment, he stood high in the sky, alone, facing the vast celestial might that was enough to destroy the world.
His white robes fluttered in the wind, and he could cover the sky with a single hand!
