"Boom!"

Tai Qing Emperor stepped on the yin-yang fish and charged, causing the entire world to collapse as if doomsday had arrived.

However, Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he unleashed an earth-shattering punch, astonishingly forcing Tai Qing Emperor to retreat.

In the end, Ye Chen did not pursue his advantage but chose to withdraw.

"I have one thing unclear!"

Ye Chen realized a certain causality, his essence, energy, and spirit reaching their peak, and his aura was terrifying.

"Hmm?"

Tai Qing Emperor looked at Ye Chen grimly, not knowing what trick he wanted to play.

The Heavenly Emperor Fist was too domineering, worthy of being called the greatest technique of all time!

Tai Qing Emperor belonged to the previous era, having cultivated at the center of the universe until now. His cultivation was not invincible, but it was not far off either.

However, as powerful as Tai Qing Emperor was, he still couldn't handle Ye Chen... Tai Qing Emperor was unwilling to make another move, as Zhen Yang Emperor and others were eyeing them fiercely. If he and Ye Chen were both defeated, wouldn't it be a free advantage for someone else?

"You belong to the previous era but didn't achieve great transcendence. How are you still alive?" Ye Chen asked.

Cultivators transcend reincarnation, not bound by the three principles and five virtues, and after reaching a certain realm, they can live as long as heaven and earth!

However, when an era collapses, even epics must suffer calamities, so how could Tai Qing Emperor survive without transcendence?

"Hahaha." Tai Qing Emperor laughed heartily. "I was the protagonist of the last era, and when I met Zhen Yang Emperor, I had the same doubts as you!"

"But after I reached the center of the universe, all my doubts were answered."

"The answer is at the center of the universe?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

Ye Chen knew nothing about the center of the universe, but after achieving his Dao, he had a peculiar intuition.

In the distant depths of the universe, there seemed to be a holy place with all sorts of mysteries, inconceivable.

Moreover, that place was calling to Ye Chen, as if wanting him to reside there!

However, Earth's domain vanished, and powerful beings from all realms descended. Ye Chen needed to suppress the situation, so he didn't go to investigate.

"There are too many secrets in heaven and earth. If I were to tell you every one of them, it would take three days and three nights!" Tai Qing Emperor said. "So the best way is for you to go to the center of the universe, where you will naturally learn everything!"

Tai Qing, Gu Feng, Zhen Yang, Long Ye, all four of them belonged to different eras, yet none of them achieved great transcendence!

They were able to gather together all because of the center of the universe, which hid earth-shattering secrets!

"The center of the universe?"

Ye Chen had a strong feeling that if he could find that place, all the questions that troubled him would be answered.

"Ye Chen, I can tell you one thing!" Tai Qing Emperor said. "Yu Jizi has already returned, leading the war souls of the departed, and has settled in the center of the universe!"

"What!" Ye Chen was shocked, unable to believe it. "Yu Jizi has returned?"

Yu Jizi was the master of the last era, unimaginably powerful, with strength that could rival the Heavenly Dao.

However, when the gods from another realm led an army to invade, Yu Jizi had already sacrificed himself heroically, so how could he possibly return?

"You were chosen by Yu Jizi, but as the era perished, hearing of his return, aren't you surprised?"

Tai Qing Emperor said with a half-smile as if understanding Ye Chen's thoughts and knowing some things Ye Chen didn't.

"There are too many secrets in heaven and earth; even reaching the Supreme Yang Realm can't reveal them all... Once I refine the dragon vein, I will naturally arrive at the center of the universe!"

Upon hearing Yu Jizi's return, Ye Chen was momentarily dazed, but he quickly regained his composure.

He was not weaker than Tai Qing Emperor and the others, but he had resided on Earth for a long time, with no one to guide him, and his sources of information were too outdated.

The center of the universe was a place of creation, hiding unknown secrets, and Ye Chen had a strong need to go there.

"Ye Chen, your immediate priority is to go to the center of the universe, not to absorb the dragon vein. Besides, with the four of us here, you simply have no chance."

"Yes, quickly head to the center of the universe; there awaits a fortuitous destiny for you!"

"..."

Tai Qing Emperor and the others spoke in turn, surprisingly trying to persuade Ye Chen to retreat and not compete for the dragon vein.

"Haha." Ye Chen suddenly laughed. "With just a few words, you want me to back off? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

"You!"

If Ye Chen had not reached Supreme Yang, they would have already made a move. However, Ye Chen cultivated 2,700 paths, not at all weaker than them, which made them find it tricky.

"You are the protagonists of different eras, and apart from those who have transcended, you are the most notable!" Ye Chen said. "But this era does not belong to you; it belongs to me... So, you are merely my backdrop, destined to be trampled under my feet."

As he spoke, Ye Chen seemed to undergo a transformation, reaching a wonderful realm!

"Boom!"

The Dao within Ye Chen surged, finally revealing his strength, shaking all with 2,700 paths, causing the heavens and the earth to tremble in awe.

"What are you planning to do?"

Tai Qing Emperor and the others' expressions changed, detecting something out of the ordinary.

Ye Chen seemed to have realized something, his martial spirit constantly rising to a terrifying level.

"Of course, I'm waiting for you to challenge me!" Ye Chen said.

"I've reached the Supreme Yang Realm and already sensed and anticipated this situation."

"However, I have an invincible heart, unafraid of any situation, any challenge!"

"That's why I've been waiting for you to appear, wanting to personally defeat you and gather momentum for myself!"

Ye Chen, having reached the Supreme Yang Realm, had a strong intuition, foreseeing certain events.

Moreover, the appearance of Tai Qing Emperor and others revealed some things, enlightening Ye Chen even more.

However, this feeling was too mysterious, like a guiduance of fate, elusive and incomprehensible.

Ye Chen needed to visit the center of the universe to get all the answers.

But now he wanted to gather power and establish the Celestial Empire!

"Come, I will be waiting at the top of the Celestial Empire for your challenge!"

In the end, Ye Chen ascended to the heavens with one step, taking the position at the top of the Celestial Empire, overlooking Zhen Yang Emperor and others.

"Bastard!"

Ye Chen's display was too arrogant; they were all at the Supreme Yang level, yet Ye Chen dared to adopt a condescending attitude, truly reckless.

"If you don't come to fight, I will absorb the dragon vein!"

The vast Celestial Empire hovered, covering the dragon vein from above, within Ye Chen's reach, giving him the upper hand.

"Dream on!"

Seeing Ye Chen about to seize the dragon vein, Tai Qing Emperor and others grew anxious, unwilling to let Ye Chen succeed.

The dragon vein carried great fortune, allowing a Supreme Yang cultivator to possibly ascend and be reborn through nirvana.

Tai Qing Emperor, Zhen Yang Emperor, Gu Feng Emperor, and Long Ye Emperor were all Supreme Yang cultivators, needing the dragon vein to deepen their foundation. How could they let Ye Chen profit?

However, there was only one dragon vein, which could only achieve one person. Who could laugh last still needed strength to prove!

"Heavenly Emperor's Symbols, merge with the dragon vein!"

At this moment, Ye Chen stood atop the Celestial Empire, a symbol flying from him, exploding with ten thousand rays of light, illuminating the ten directions of the world.

Seeing that they didn't make a move, Ye Chen preemptively struck, trying to refine the dragon vein and merge it with his Heavenly Emperor's Symbols.
