"Supreme Yang, Supreme Saint, Supreme, after crossing these three realms, will I achieve the Great Transcendence?" Ye Chen asked.

"Correct!" Zhen Yang replied. "The Supreme Yang Realm consists of two thousand seven hundred paths, the Supreme Saint Realm has two thousand eight hundred paths, and the Supreme Realm possesses two thousand nine hundred paths. Beyond the Supreme Realm lies the Great Transcendent Realm!"

"I see."

After Ye Chen achieved the Supreme Yang, he felt as if he had reached the end of his cultivation, finding it difficult to advance further.

However, Zhen Yang's words gave Ye Chen some insight.

"Boom!"

At that moment, Tai Qing and others unleashed their wrath, unleashing the myriad paths of the heavens to subdue Ye Chen.

Although Ye Chen's situation was perilous, he remained untouched and avoided falling into a deadly trap.

"Right!" Ye Chen suddenly exclaimed. "I have a question to ask; could you help me with the answer?"

"What question?"

The four sealed the endless sky, pressing down on Ye Chen together, aiming to overwhelm him.

"Is the Cosmic Daoist at the center of the universe?" Ye Chen inquired.

The Cosmic Daoist is the chief of the ten fiends, having mastered two thousand paths during the Ancient Times, ruling supreme in antiquity!

Later, the Cosmic Daoist grew even more dreadful, eventually arriving at the secret place of the universe to battle the complete Heavenly Dao!

In that battle, the Cosmic Daoist was defeated, but despite challenging the Heavenly Dao's majesty, he wasn't annihilated by it!

Subsequently, the Cosmic Daoist forcibly transcended and met the end of demise.

Nonetheless, Ye Chen felt that the Cosmic Daoist didn't perish but went dormant!

The universe's center is a place of creation; Zhen Yang and others hail from there, and the Cosmic Daoist is likely residing there!

"The Cosmic Daoist?" Gu Feng said with a half smile. "He's the greatest fiend in heaven and earth, not inferior in fortune to you, having settled in the universe's center long ago… Moreover, his cultivation is terrifying; he's no longer the Cosmic Daoist but the Cosmic Supreme!"

"Cosmic Supreme!" Ye Chen's eyelids twitched. "Did he master two thousand nine hundred paths, reaching the Supreme Realm?"

Two thousand seven hundred paths form the Supreme Yang Realm, two thousand eight hundred paths constitute the Supreme Saint Realm, and the Supreme Realm contains two thousand nine hundred paths!

Did the Cosmic Daoist, after failing transcendence, not die but enter the universe's center to become a powerhouse in the Supreme Realm?!

"You're the protagonist of this era but not the strongest. Doesn't that feel disheartening?"

Tai Qing mockingly challenged Ye Chen, clearly harboring sinister intentions to disrupt Ye Chen's Dao mind.

Powerful individuals possess invincible Dao minds; once the Dao mind falters, the path of cultivation becomes obstructed.

Ye Chen is the protagonist of this era but not the strongest, easily leading to self-doubt, causing the Dao mind to collapse.

"Haha, are you mocking me?" Ye Chen laughed heartily. "I've spent decades cultivating, understanding epics, achieving Supreme Yang, and advancing towards the Great Transcendence. Isn't that dazzling enough?"

"Hmph, you're the protagonist of this era, endowed with unmatched fortune yet overshadowed by others, showing no reflection?" Gu Feng retorted.

"The ones who should reflect are you!" Ye Chen countered. "You're the protagonists of various ages, training at the universe's center yet failing the Great Transcendence. Shouldn't you be reflecting?"

"…"

Ye Chen's words rendered the four speechless, unable to articulate a response.

Who doesn't wish for the Great Transcendence?

However, it's extremely difficult, requiring a fortuitous encounter, not something that can be forcibly pursued!

But before the four could speak, Ye Chen launched another verbal attack.

"The Cosmic Dao was born in this era; he's achieved Supreme while you're still at Supreme Yang. Aren't you embarrassed?"

"Moreover, as protagonists of a cosmic era, continually training at the center, even a pig would transcend, yet what about you?"

"Supreme Yang is miles away from the Great Transcendence. Is this your cultivation result? Isn't it shameful?"

"Stop trying to show off in front of me; if I were you, I'd buy some tofu and smash myself to death!"

"…"

Ye Chen's words were piercing, like daggers stabbing the hearts of the four.

"Enough with the verbal sparring!" Gu Feng declared. "Let's suppress him first and seize the dragon veins. Then, even if he breaks the heavens with words, it will be useless!"

"Alright!"

"Boom!"

Four Supreme Yang powerhouses unleashed a devastating force, perforating the world.

Moreover, Ye Chen was surrounded by the four, making the situation bleak.

"Ultimate Absolute Kill!"

Tai Qing, Zhen Yang, Gu Feng, and Long Ye held their positions, preventing Ye Chen's escape, determined to kill him.

"Ah, this is tiresome!"

Ye Chen, encircled by the four, suddenly stopped struggling and appeared resigned, as if ready to surrender.

"Have you decided to stop resisting now that fate is inescapable?" Gu Feng sneered.

Indeed, considering Ye Chen endured this long amid their encirclement was remarkable.

However, Ye Chen was exceedingly irritating, challenging them one-on-four, and verbally sparring… they felt they needed revenge!

"Alright, no more antics." Ye Chen waved dismissively to the four. "You may leave; I won't make it difficult for you."

"…"

Ye Chen's sudden halt made the four tense, fearing he might unleash a grand move.

Yet, as they grew uneasy, Ye Chen nonchalantly waved them away, suggesting they leave?

"Ye Chen, are you scared stiff?"

Four Supreme Yang powerhouses pressed forward, blocking Ye Chen's escape.

"Actually, the dragon veins belong to me already, but I haven't refined them, deliberately teasing you." Ye Chen accused.

"…"

"Do you take us for three-year-olds?" Tai Qing felt their intelligence insulted.

"No." Ye Chen said seriously. "I'm about to ascend to Supreme Saint; if you wisely depart, I can spare you my wrath."

"Ye Chen, are you trying to scare us off with bluster?" Zhen Yang questioned sternly.

"No, I'm very serious!" Ye Chen replied earnestly.

"…"

Ye Chen, while feigning seriousness, made Tai Qing and the others' faces twist with disbelief, unable to tolerate it.

"In return for accompanying me, I may spare your lives!" Ye Chen declared. "However, I'm weary of playing; you should all return."

"Ye Chen, you court death!" Gu Feng roared furiously, poised to strike Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's behavior was so braindead it insulted intelligence, fueling Gu Feng's anger.

You're already a caged bird; yet, you dream of transforming into a roc, soaring high!

"I give you one breath's time; retreat immediately, or I'll make you cry!" Ye Chen ignored their authority, continuing unabashedly.

"Attack!"

Ye Chen's insensitivity enraged the four, prompting simultaneous attacks on Ye Chen.

"The Heavenly Emperor stands supreme, unparalleled!"

Ye Chen suddenly burst forth, Dao paths around him, shattering endless space, blocking the four.

"What!"

Tai Qing and others' faces changed drastically, overwhelmed with disbelief.

"I asked you to leave; you didn't. Now you want to leave, but I won't permit it!" Ye Chen announced. "I'll keep my word and make each of you cry!"

"Boom!"

As Ye Chen spoke, the dragon veins moved, swimming toward Ye Chen, intending to attach!
