Chapter 1802: Chapter 1821: Attacked from Both Fronts

What defines the power of the living?

At this moment, Ye Xuan truly felt the sensation brought by the merging of the Twelve Heavenly Gates. It was truly wonderful, far beyond what those forbidden characters could comprehend.

The living deter the weak, the dead face destruction!

Ye Xuan was a living person. This was what set him apart from the forbidden characters, and it was his greatest potential.

Though the forbidden were strong, they were merely dead. Only the living could laugh last. It was only when the Twelve Heavenly Gates merged that Ye Xuan truly grasped the meaning of this phrase.

Buzz!

Ye Xuan rose suddenly, and the boundless Heavenly Gate behind him faded. His entire being returned to tranquility, with no aura of strength emanating.

Returning to the truth, body and mind united.

At this moment, Ye Xuan appeared calm, yet he was even more terrifying. Even forbidden characters couldn’t discern his depth.

Go!

Ye Xuan stepped through the portal. The journey to the Ancient Divine Mountain had just begun, and it held numerous ancient opportunities, perhaps allowing him to truly break through to the Perfection Realm.

One step!

Just one last step!

If Ye Xuan could break through to Perfection, he would enter a brand new realm. Though Ye Xuan did not know what the next realm was, he could sense it would certainly surpass those so-called forbidden characters.

But what kind of realm would a living person enter upon breaking through to Perfection? This was a question he needed to answer for himself.

Since the strongest Three Great Eras, no living person had entered this realm, not even the forbidden characters knew.

According to the forbidden characters, the next realm was the Heaven-shocking Extremist, the forbidden among the forbidden.

But after experiencing many events, Ye Xuan directly refuted this claim. Even if he entered the next realm, he absolutely could not reach the heights of Heaven-shocking Extremist.

Because the reasoning was simple!

Whether from his encounters with his previous life, or the eyes he saw in the Death Cage.

All were Heaven-shocking Extremists, those who survived the strongest era, even the Cosmic Will could not contend with them.

If simply breaking through Perfection could achieve their level, that would be a joke, impossible.

Do not forget, in the strongest Three Great Eras, besides the few Heaven-shocking Extremists, there were many powerful beings challenging fate.

These fate-defying beings were also living people who cultivated to the Twelve Heavenly Gates and even surpassed this realm, yet they perished in the destruction of reincarnation.

Therefore, Ye Xuan was extremely certain that his next realm would be the path taken by fate-defying beings in the Three Great Eras, still not reaching the realm of Heaven-shocking Extremists.

Through eternity, powerful beings are as numerous as grains of sand, and only eight survived the Three Great Eras. Countless fate-defying beings vanished in that distant and unknown era.

These eight stood unrivaled through time, not knowing how many eras they endured, truly earning the title of eternal beings.

Thus, to catch up to them, Ye Xuan had to break through his current realm. Only by reaching the height of the fate-defying beings of the Three Great Eras could he truly glimpse that Heaven-shocking Extremist realm.

At this moment, Ye Xuan had a high vision. He saw a path unseen even by forbidden characters and found the correct direction, needing only to forge ahead.

...

Third Divine Palace!

As Ye Xuan just stepped in, a sea of Primordial Qi erupted, accompanied by terrifying rumbling within the Divine Palace, along with continuous roars of anger.

Is it them?

Ye Xuan’s eyes shifted, and just by sensing the aura, he knew who it was, which led him to use the Heavenly Tribulation Transformation to hide in the void, swiftly heading toward the aura.

Boom boom boom!

Death Light surged, and Ancient Divine Light exploded.

In the deepest part of the Divine Palace, the Black and White Kings were seen fiercely battling an ancient puppet of a Divine General. The battle had entered an intense phase. The Black and White Kings had already suppressed the ancient Divine General, and it was clear they would soon achieve victory.

The cause of this battle was a scroll.

An ancient, mottled scroll lay atop a stone platform. Though it exuded no aura, the mere traces on the scroll indicated that it had existed for innumerable eras.

Ye Xuan stealthily approached, calmly watching the Black and White Kings and the ancient Divine General clash, with a sinister smile curling at his lips.

As the saying goes, when the sandpiper and clam fight, the fisherman benefits. He arrived just at the right time, intent on claiming every treasure of each Divine Palace.

But before seizing this treasure, Ye Xuan felt a surge of killing intent. The Black and White Kings were completely absorbed in their fierce battle, oblivious to his arrival. If he didn’t secretly land a blow, it wouldn’t be in line with Ye Xuan’s character.

Buzz!

A wisp of Power of Reincarnation rippled on Ye Xuan’s fist, allowing the Heavenly Tribulation Transformation to lead Ye Xuan silently toward the Black and White Kings. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Eternal Reincarnation Fist!

Ye Xuan never strikes unless to kill, reflecting his usual style. Having just merged the Twelve Heavenly Gates and nurtured the Power of Reincarnation, this punch was truly vicious.

Boom!

Ye Xuan delivered a punch directly at the back of the Black King’s heart. Though not using full power, he put forth eighty percent of his cultivation, aiming to strike the Black King dead.

"Watch out!"

Forbidden characters were, after all, forbidden. Ye Xuan’s secret attack startled the White King into shock, discovering Ye Xuan immediately.

Unfortunately, the White King’s warning was too late. Ye Xuan’s strike had been long in brewing, leaving the Black King to howl in despair as blood spurted from his back.

Ye Xuan’s punch penetrated his heart, and the terrible blood hole was exceptionally conspicuous, causing significant damage.

"You seek death!"

The White King roared in fury, immediately abandoning his attack on the ancient Divine General and sending a terrifying forbidden technique toward Ye Xuan.

"Begone!"

The Twelve Heavenly Gates merged, nurturing the Power of Reincarnation. Ye Xuan was far more dreadful now than before, having no fear of the White King’s strike.

Boom!

The Eternal Reincarnation Fist struck again, clashing directly with the White King’s attack. The Power of Reincarnation was truly frightening. Even though Ye Xuan had only nurtured one, it still sent the White King flying, pulverizing one of his hands and causing the death aura to faintly crackle.

Ye Xuan, repelled by their clash, suffered no injury, eerily unscathed, with the aura of all method immunity surrounding him.

"Ye Xuan, you despicable villain!"

Being ambushed once more by Ye Xuan—it wasn’t the first time—the Black King was gravely wounded, his hatred for Ye Xuan surging.

As he seethed with rage, the Black King grew increasingly fearful, unable to heal his wounds. A mysterious power was spreading from his heart, apparently attempting to permeate his entire body.

But this wasn’t the end. The ancient Divine General they had originally suppressed seized the opportunity amid Ye Xuan’s ambush to unleash horrific ancient divine light and charge at the Black King.
