...

”Master... Your great kindness and virtue, I, Ye Chen, will remember forever in this life. Wait for me... One day, I will ascend to the Heavenly Dao Palace and rescue your true selves!”

”You said I am the hope of hundreds of you.”

”I will never let you down!”

Ye Chen had already sensed Xiao Ling’s final strike before dissipating.

Xiao Ling was the powerhouse from the Samsara Graveyard that he had met the least.

Yet he made such a sacrifice.

Ye Chen was deeply moved.

Perhaps it was due to Xiao Ling’s dissolution that Little Gold’s reincarnation and transformation were completed.

Ye Chen resolved in his heart to temporarily suppress the pain and resentment deep inside.

Now, the urgent priority was to overcome this final Heavenly Tribulation.

The illusionary face above his head was so majestic that words could scarcely describe it—because this was the direct manifestation of the Heavenly Dao. In a sense, it was a strand of the Heavenly Dao’s avatar!

The humanoid manifestation of the Heavenly Dao was a rarity in ten thousand years.

This indicated that Ye Chen was abhorred by the Heavenly Dao, to the point that for this final tribulation, the Heavenly Dao personally intervened to obliterate him during his growth.

The phantom face opened its eyes. Those eyes ”looked” directly at Ye Chen.

”Huff, huff!”

Ye Chen suddenly found it impossible to breathe, his heart chaotic, as though endless distracting thoughts were plaguing him.

Unstoppable! Absolutely unstoppable!

A foreboding overwhelmed Ye Chen instantly—it was like an ant facing an elephant. That sense of helplessness and despair rendered even the thought of struggle impossible!

The Heavenly Dao is above all, more powerful than all. How could mere mortals resist?

”Reincarnation Tablet! Samsara Graveyard! Only the power of ’Samsara’ might stand a chance against this calamity!”

The phantom face of the Heavenly Dao was suddenly obstructed by a single finger descending — the Heavenly Dao itself had acted. A finger descended from the sky, pointing directly at Ye Chen.

Even a strand of the Heavenly Dao’s radiance was enough to almost shatter Ye Chen’s divine soul. The power within this single finger...

Even if Ye Chen’s cultivation were to advance another major realm, he would still have no hope of surviving this finger.

At the critical juncture where his life hung by a thread, Ye Chen’s heart suddenly gave rise to an epiphany—this was the final struggle to find life amidst death, the ultimate hope lying within his strongest trump card.

Thus, Ye Chen attempted to communicate with the Reincarnation Tablet, summoning that mysterious power...

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

In several places across the great world, phenomenon erupted.

In the rear mountains of the Divine Extreme Sect, the secluded Zining suddenly opened her beautiful eyes. A Reincarnation Tablet emerged from within her, a large ”Spirit” character shimmering with light, as if responding to some sort of summons.

”Ye Chen...” Zining whispered the name that haunted her soul.

The ”Spirit” tablet of the Reincarnation Tablet may belong to her, but its true master was Ye Chen.

Deep within the Poison Cave’s ancient battlefield, somewhere at a perilous location, the ”Poison” tablet burst into radiance, instantly drawing the attention of numerous powerhouses.

”Poison tablet! It’s in that direction—let’s go!”

Numerous strong figures immediately surged in crazed pursuit, their oppressive and earth-shaking auras rushing toward the location of the Poison Tablet.

The two mighty experts originally locked in a standoff, Xuanyuan Han and Li Fan Yi, also had their expressions simultaneously shift.

Li Fan Yi turned suddenly without a hint of hesitation, scoffing: ”Xuanyuan Han, we’ll fight another day! Hahaha, but as for you, will you chase after the Poison Tablet or go kill that brat undergoing tribulation?”

Xuanyuan Han cast an unwilling glance in Ye Chen’s direction, muttering to himself: ”Even if you inexplicably survive the tribulation, once I obtain the Poison Tablet, I’ll ensure there’s no escape for you in heaven or earth!”

The commotion from the Poison Tablet, however, temporarily eliminated the danger posed by Ye Chen’s ”Human Tribulation.”

...

Dust! Wind! Flame! Spirit!

The four Reincarnation Tablets, which Ye Chen had already encountered, each responded. Four streaks of light descended from the sky, and four ethereal essences emerged.

But the most spectacular phenomenon came from the Poison Tablet—the boundless poisonous gas and spiritual energy within the Poison Cave seemed to be stirred, and a massive ”Poison” character materialized above Ye Chen’s head!

At this instant, the Heavenly Dao’s oppressive gaze weighing on Ye Chen’s body and soul suddenly vanished. Ye Chen was overjoyed, his spirit revitalized.

Facing the ninth Heavenly Tribulation, the enigmatic Reincarnation Tablet had indeed proven effective.

Yet in the next moment, Ye Chen’s emotions once again plummeted to despair...

The finger remained steadfast, continuing its descent. The Poison character crumbled, and the power from the four Reincarnation Tablets lasted less than a single moment before being completely extinguished.

”Samsara Graveyard! Honored mentors, bolster me, aid me in overcoming this tribulation!”

Ye Chen’s thoughts resonated with the Samsara Graveyard, instantly receiving the response of the ancient powerhouse mentors.

Kuang Wu Dominator and Ancient Medical God exchanged glances.

This time, they carried only calm.

There was no hatred.

”I, Kuang Wu Dominator, will defy the Heavenly Dao today!”

”Ancient Medical God, let’s see who can suppress the Heavenly Dao! Hahaha!”

”I won’t lose to you. I, Ancient Medical God, will show the world the might of the Golden Needle! Kuang Wu Dominator, watch out—my needle technique is no less than your martial arts!”

This time, Ancient Medical God and Kuang Wu Dominator set aside all quarrels!

Instead, they worked together! Facing everything head-on!

No personal grudges mattered when Ye Chen was more important!

Within the Samsara Graveyard, winds rose and clouds surged, a mysterious and profound power seemed to transcend all, emerging from the graveyard.

This was the power of Samsara!

This was the collective will of the ancient experts colliding within the graveyard, awakening this force.

But in the deepest recesses of the cemetery, the stone pillar remained motionless.

However, a shadowy figure faintly emerged.

If Ye Chen were paying attention, he would surely recognize this as the figure carrying the earth-shaking power!

It was the strongest individual Ye Chen had encountered thus far!

With a mere thought, this figure could obliterate the world.

But... why did he not act?

The man’s demeanor was resolute, his aura incomparably profound. He gazed indifferently at the unfolding scene, murmuring: ”Boy, this is what you must go through.”

”This chess game... has only just begun.”

...

Buzz!

The phantom of the Samsara Graveyard appeared around Ye Chen, and countless shadowy figures came forth. The profound power of Samsara coalesced into a single fist and—upon its emergence—immediately charged toward the Heavenly Dao’s finger.

The Heavenly Dao’s finger seemed to meet its nemesis; even its calamity aimed at Ye Chen momentarily halted as it diverted toward the Reincarnation Fist.

High on the sky, the phantom face conjuring the Heavenly Dao’s finger was dissipating, but at this moment, its eyes suddenly opened again.

”Samsara!”

The phantom face of the Heavenly Dao spoke!

The fist and the finger—two transcendent ”Dao” forces—clashed, causing the void to collapse and chaotic energy to flood the space.

Everything returned to its primordial state, becoming null. A small area of space transformed into chaos!

This level of destruction was something only supreme powerhouses in the Chaos Realm of legend could achieve.

The power of the Heavenly Dao faded away, the ghostly shadow of the graveyard vanished, and the phantom face of the Heavenly Dao gradually receded into obscurity.

The ninth Heavenly Tribulation had finally ended—this terrifying Great Void Destructive Thunder Tribulation was over!

Ye Chen let out a long roar—not with the thrill of triumph, but carrying the tinge of relief at surviving a calamity.

After the tribulation, Ye Chen’s level of cultivation did not increase, for he was abhorred by the Heavenly Dao and naturally received no blessings.

However, his understanding of martial arts and mastery of power belonging to the Great Void Realm naturally improved. With time to absorb it, Ye Chen’s strength would see significant advancements.

”Boy, you finally made it through.”

”Had you not, we would have dissipated as well.”

Elder Cang sat within the Samsara Graveyard, panting as he spoke.

To Ye Chen’s surprise, Ancient Medical God and Kuang Wu Dominator were now leaning back-to-back.

”Elder Cang, Old Kuang, you two...”

Before Ye Chen could finish his sentence, the two quickly separated.

Kuang Wu Dominator coughed awkwardly: ”Ancient Medical God, when we leave here, I will settle accounts with you.”

Ancient Medical God retorted fearlessly: ”I’m not afraid of you.”

Ye Chen smiled sympathetically: ”Still so proud.”

Then, Ye Chen’s gaze fell on Little Gold.

The chaotic glow surrounding Little Gold grew increasingly intense.

Ye Chen knew that Little Gold still needed one final step.

Like himself, Little Gold needed to endure a tribulation.

But for now, Ji Lin and the Poison Tablet were far more critical.

Without further hesitation, Ye Chen’s figure disappeared and left the area.
