Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 1723 - 1742: Opening the 11th Heavenly Gate!
Buzz!
Ye Xuan flipped his hand, revealing two Qiankun Bags, which he handed to the two of them, saying: "Inside are abundant Chaos Spirit Essences and some techniques I have cultivated, including a Tribulation Immortal Skill. You two should cultivate diligently. I believe by the end of the Tenth Epoch, you should also reach Immortal Great Perfection."
Taking the Qiankun Bags handed over by Ye Xuan, their expressions slightly changed because they felt as if Ye Xuan was arranging his affairs.
"Sir, do you have no confidence in passing the tribulation in three days?"
The one who understood Ye Xuan best was undoubtedly Fatty Huang, who asked worriedly.
"Chaos Heavenly Punishment, how could it be so easy to pass?"
Ye Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly, then his expression became solemn as he looked at the two of them and said: "I want you two to promise me one thing."
"Please, sir, tell us."
The two hurriedly bowed and said.
"If I succeed in crossing the tribulation, everything will be well, but if I fail, I want you two to leave the Heavenly Burial Palace, find a secluded place to live out your lives peacefully, do not make enemies with anyone, nor strive for the so-called Strongest Position." Ye Xuan instructed.
"This...?"
Fatty Huang and Gu Beichen were startled upon hearing this because they already felt that Ye Xuan was truly settling his affairs.
The Heavenly Burial Palace was founded by Ye Xuan himself. As long as he was there, no one dared to defy his will. Even Fatty Huang and Gu Beichen rose with his tide, and though their cultivation was lacking, everyone had to obey them.
But if Ye Xuan failed in crossing the tribulation and truly perished in the Chaos Heavenly Punishment, with the two of them unable to subdue the mighty figures of the Heavenly Burial Palace, it would only bring them disaster.
Therefore, Ye Xuan instructed the two that if he were truly gone, they should give up all their rights in the Heavenly Burial Palace and live as carefree recluses, for that would be the best fate.
"Sir, you will certainly pass this ordeal." Fatty Huang said tremblingly.
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile and said: "Actually, what I worry about most is you two. Although we are called master and servant, we are no different from brothers. After all, you followed me from the Human World to Chaos, and throughout this journey, you two are the only ones I can truly trust."
"Therefore, I want you to promise me, if I am really gone, you must leave the Heavenly Burial Palace." Ye Xuan said.
"Sir, we understand." Gu Beichen said bitterly.
"Go now."
Ye Xuan waved his hand at them, and they reluctantly left.
"Chaos Heavenly Punishment!"
Ye Xuan gazed up into the vast starry sky, and one by one, Heavenly Gates rose behind him until the shadow of the eleventh Heavenly Gate appeared faintly, causing the entire Emperor Palace to tremble slightly.
In three days, Ye Xuan would initiate the eleventh Heavenly Gate and face his Chaos Heavenly Punishment. Success would mean a broad new horizon; failure would mean soul scattering.
What must come, will come; what must be faced cannot be evaded. Ye Xuan had prepared for everything.
Whew!
Ye Xuan exhaled a stream of turbid air, sitting in the Emperor Palace to adjust his state, aiming to elevate his Essence Qi to the peak for the Chaos Heavenly Punishment he would face in three days.
...
Three days later.
Rumble!
The ancient towering sky, Heaven and Earth quaked.
Aura as ancient as Heaven itself descended from the Ninety-Ninth Heaven; all cultivators of the Heavenly Burial Palace watched in reverence, every gaze filled with devout awe.
Above the Ninety-Ninth Heaven, an Emperor Palace slowly rose until it broke free of the Ninety-Ninth Heaven and entered the Chaos Starry Sky.
"Congratulations to the Emperor for successfully crossing the tribulation."
The earth trembled, mountains roared, and seas surged. All cultivators of the Heavenly Burial Palace prostrated themselves, reverently watching the Emperor Palace enter the Chaotic Universe, every face brimming with excitement.
Simultaneously, others were aware.
The seven Supremes opened their eyes at once, looking towards the Chaos Starry Sky, each showing varied expressions, a hint of shock flashing in their eyes.
"What tribulation is he crossing?"
"Is it opening the eleventh Heavenly Gate?"
"Sir, you will surely succeed in crossing the tribulation."
...
The seven Supremes murmured, looking towards Ye Xuan’s location with complex expressions in each gaze.
If Ye Xuan succeeded in crossing the tribulation this time, it would indicate his cultivation would grow fearsomely again, fully matching the Supremes.
Elsewhere.
In the distant Primordial World, the Eternal Shadow watched faintly, accompanied by Gai Tianyuan, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
"Master, can he succeed in crossing the tribulation?" Gai Tianyuan asked.
"If he is one of those forbidden rebirths of astounding earth-shattering might, he can pass this Chaos Heavenly Punishment; otherwise, he will surely die."
The Eternal Shadow spoke faintly, his crimson eyes glimmering with profound depth.
Whether him or the other forbidden ones, they had always suspected Ye Xuan to be a reincarnation of someone, a supreme taboo individual.
Now, the time to verify this had come. If Ye Xuan truly was the taboo of all taboos among those shocking entities, he could pass this tribulation.
If not, facing the Chaos Heavenly Punishment, Ye Xuan would die with no grave, for even taboo figures feared the Chaos Heavenly Punishment to some degree, let alone Ye Xuan surpassing it.
At the same time.
Not only was the Eternal Shadow paying attention to Ye Xuan.
In a corner of the Chaotic Universe, the Chess Ancestor, holding a black-and-white chessboard, also gazed towards Ye Xuan’s position.
"Whether you are a forbidden rebirth or not, today will reveal it." the Chess Ancestor rasped softly.
Starry Sky Giant Beasts’ Ancestral Land.
The Ancestor of Beasts looked deep, speaking no words, only a long sigh transmitting from his mouth, with a meaning beyond expression.
In another corner of Chaos.
The mysterious being who emerged from the Chaos River also glanced at Ye Xuan, his crimson eyes flickering, sometimes showing murder intent, sometimes confusion.
"Whether you are him or not, no one can manipulate Eternity. Today, as Chaos Heavenly Punishment descends, will you reveal your true self?" the mysterious being murmured in a tremor.
...
Vast starry sky, boundless universe.
An Emperor Palace stood in the starry sky, surrounded by rotating stars, tumultuous Star Sea waves, yet this Emperor Palace remained unaffected, standing majestically in the cosmic expanse.
Rumble!
Heavens trembled, the Emperor Palace doors rumbled open, and a profound figure emerged, his white hair flying in the starry sky.
"Open!"
Bang—Bang—Bang!
Extreme Ascension, Heaven and Earth exploded.
One by one, Heavenly Gates opened terrifyingly; the Heavenly Burial Reincarnation haloed around, Ye Xuan releasing an unprecedented Eternal Heavenly Power.
The ten Heavenly Gates, standing eternally, rotated in the cosmic universe, exuding Chaos Shocking World Power.
Yet this was only the beginning, not the end, as the eleventh Heavenly Gate shadow emerged, pushing forth a terrifying aura sweeping the cosmos.
Rumble!
At last, under Ye Xuan’s Extreme Ascension, the eleventh Heavenly Gate finally formed, its mysterious Reincarnation Halo blooming on the gateway, nearly blinding to behold.
