Chapter 2430: Battle at Tianhe Again!

"What a joy! What a joy! Hahaha... The Azure Sage lives up to his name; this battle was thoroughly exhilarating!"

Xuanji, upon hearing the news of a great victory ahead, laughed heartily.

Nothing was more uplifting than this news.

When the Divine Race suddenly launched a decisive battle, these big shots were all deeply worried.

Although the allied forces were numerous, Xuanji knew in his heart that they were nothing but paper tigers.

Yet he never expected that Ye Yuan would single-handedly turn the tide, using the Eight Emptiness Mountain Grand Array to annihilate the Divine Race.

However, this was only the beginning; reports of victory flew in like snowflakes.

After the myriad races' allied forces routed the Divine Race army, they pursued the victory and swept across the Western Frontier!

Now, the allied forces had reached near the Eight Towns of Abyss Suppression, almost driving the Divine Race back into the Abyss!

Such an outcome was completely unexpected by all the big shots.

The allied forces were now fighting like mad, winning battle after battle.

Beside him, Shang Heng wept with old tears, saying, "If only the Azure Sage had stayed in the last era, how wonderful that would have been! Many of us old-timers would surely have survived."

Xuanji laughed, "If the Azure Sage had stayed in the last era, perhaps there would be no place for you all! Everything was already fated; why dwell on it, senior?"

Shang Heng nodded, "Yes! If given time to grow, with his talent and mastery of several top-tier laws, who could stand against him? Alas, it's a pity that Lin Wushuang, that old fellow, is now utterly finished!"

The others fell silent, and he found it dull, so he added with a smile, "By the way, calculating the time now, the Azure Sage should be close to breaking through to the Celestial Being Realm, right?"

Xuanji paused, then nodded, "With his talent, it should be around this time. But... given the intensity of his laws, the Celestial Decay Tribulation might be... quite terrifying!"

At his words, everyone's expressions grew solemn again.

Shang Heng frowned, "When I crossed the Celestial Decay Tribulation back then, I barely survived! After the tribulation, I was weak for a full three thousand years before recovering! The Azure Sage has already fused the three laws of time, space, and sword, and his combat power is frighteningly strong; the tribulation's power will likely be ten or even a hundred times greater than mine!"

Silence again!

Throughout history, how many great figures had perished before the tribulation.

Even a strongman like Shang Heng had barely survived, almost not making it.

The stronger one's power, the more terrifying the tribulation.

Thus, they all knew that Ye Yuan's tribulation would be terrifying to the extreme.

This was the great chasm before Ye Yuan!

Against men, Ye Yuan could be invincible.

But against heaven?

...

"My lord, I see your realm has been increasingly unstable these days; it's clear you're about to break through! We can't pursue any further, or once the Celestial Decay Tribulation arrives, it will be dangerous!" On the battlefield, Wan Zhen advised.

Nearly a year had passed since the Battle of Eight Emptiness Mountain.

In that year, the army of Bu Ce had experienced countless battles, large and small.

Under fierce combat, Ye Yuan's insights deepened, and he had a clear understanding of the next realm.

Now, Ye Yuan's realm was extremely unstable, clearly on the verge of a breakthrough.

Logically, at this time, Ye Yuan should find a place to go into seclusion and face the great tribulation of life and death.

The Celestial Decay Tribulation was also called the Great Tribulation of Life and Death.

For too many Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouses had fallen at this step.

Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen had advised Ye Yuan many times, but Ye Yuan simply wouldn't listen, persisting in his own way.

Over the past year, the Army of Misfortune had grown into an iron force, with terrifying combat power and will.

As time passed, more and more children of misfortune in this army had broken through to the Heavenly Man realm.

Now, even against a strong expert at the mid-Ninth Pattern stage, this army showed no fear.

Thus, when the Army of Misfortune encountered the divine race, they swept through them unstoppably.

The divine army, upon seeing the Army of Misfortune, dared not face them head-on and would turn and flee at top speed.

"We've chased Tianhe for half a month, and finally cornered him this time. We can't give up halfway. If that guy escapes back to the Abyss, it'll be hard to kill him," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.

Wan Zhen grew anxious and said, "Compared to you, Tianhe is nothing! Your safety is the greatest concern for humanity!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heh, it's fine!"

With that, Ye Yuan flew off first.

Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen exchanged glances, both showing signs of worry.

They could sense that Ye Yuan's breakthrough was imminent.

What if he encountered the Heavenly Man Tribulation during battle? Wouldn't that be courting death?

Heaven helps those who help themselves; this time, the Army of Misfortune finally blocked Tianhe!

Tianhe had been severely wounded in the Eight Void Mountain Grand Formation, and his injuries had worsened during his escape.

After all, under the power of rules, wounds were not so easy to heal.

If not for Tianhe's great strength, he would have died ten times over.

However, Tianhe was also very cunning; his escape route was extremely erratic, and Ye Yuan's group had chased him several times, only for him to slip away.

"Tianhe, we meet again!" Ye Yuan said coldly, looking at Tianhe.

Tianhe's expression was grim, and he said in a deep voice, "You brat, you're really a persistent ghost!"

His current combat power was at most equivalent to the peak of the early Ninth Pattern, and he couldn't sustain it for long.

Being cornered by Ye Yuan was a very dangerous situation.

Ye Yuan snorted, "You have the blood of countless human experts on your hands. I can't rest easy letting you go!"

Tianhe sneered, "Just a bunch of ants; killing them is nothing! Do you think you alone can stop me? Huh, you're about to break through? Hahaha... boy, you really don't know your limits! With your talent, the Heavenly Man Tribulation must be extremely terrifying, right? Instead of finding a place to seclude yourself and break through, you come chasing me—truly seeking death!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, I'm just a hair's breadth away from breaking through! Finding you will help me break through the bottleneck!"

Tianhe laughed heartily, "Hahaha, I'm happy to oblige! Boy, I'll give you a hand!"

Ye Yuan said, "Leave Tianhe to me; the rest of you handle the others. No need to say more; I've made up my mind!"

Wan Zhen wanted to say something more, but Ye Yuan sternly stopped him.

The remnants Tianhe brought still had many strong experts, which Wan Zhen and the others needed to deal with.

The clamor of battle shook the heavens as the two armies clashed.

In the midst of the army, Ye Yuan and Tianhe faced each other from afar.

Tianhe laughed loudly and said, "Boy, you are too proud, so proud that you don't take the Heavenly Dao seriously! Today, I'll send you on your way, letting you die by your own hand! Heavenly Dao True Martial, Invincible Iron Arm, Shrinking the Ground into an Inch, open!"

This was his second Heavenly Dao True Martial technique!

Boom!

Tianhe threw a punch, carrying the power of Heavenly Dao True Martial, terrifying to the extreme.

"Sword, come!" Ye Yuan reached out, and the Sword of Time and Space was already in hand.

The great battle was about to erupt!
