Chapter 725: Return to the Desolate Realm

TL: Etude

Although Ye Tian’s second avatar had reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm, Ye Tian knew very well that if he dared to twist time and space in an attempt to resurrect someone with his current strength, he would undoubtedly face fatal backlash.

“Forget it. This second avatar’s strength is somewhat lacking, but it still equates to the combat power of a top-tier Heavenly Venerable. I’ll first refine the Desolate Lord Mandate, then enter the Desolate Realm. I should be able to take control of it,” Ye Tian pondered.

Immediately, he took out the Desolate Lord Mandate and began to let his second avatar refine it.

“Next, I’ll let my main body sleep and fully control the second avatar,” Ye Tian murmured.

Thus, his main body began to slumber, with all his consciousness concentrated on the second avatar.

“Begin refining!” Ye Tian silently commanded.

Under the Heavenly Venerable realm’s refining process of Ye Tian’s second avatar, the Desolate Lord Mandate was gradually being refined.

In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.

On this day…

Ye Tian had successfully initiated the refinement of the Desolate Lord Mandate, but he wasn’t yet considered the true master of the Desolate Realm, only a half-master at best.

To become the true master, he needed to enter the Desolate Realm and let the Desolate Lord Mandate successfully control the realm’s origin, only then could he become the Desolate Realm’s master.

However, before becoming the master, the Innate Deities of the Desolate Realm would certainly come to stop him, leading to an inevitable great battle.

Although Ye Tian could utilize the Desolate Lord Mandate to mobilize the Desolate Realm’s power and exert the combat strength of a powerful Supreme within the realm, it was uncertain if this strength would be enough to persist until he successfully controlled the realm.

“My Chaos Dao realm has already reached the pinnacle of the Dharmic Aspect Realm. Although the second avatar cannot align with the Chaos Dao as well as the main body, it can still comprehend it. If I can elevate the Chaos Dao realm in a short time and combine it with the Chaos True Technique in combat, it should significantly boost my combat power. Additionally, the Tian Gang Battle Technique can also be applied to the second avatar, which increases the hope,” Ye Tian thought.

Thus, in the following days, Ye Tian began to use his second avatar to comprehend the Chaos Dao.

However, using a different body, Ye Tian found it extremely difficult to comprehend the Chaos Dao. This body seemed to be completely out of sync with the Chaos Dao, and even the Dao Water was of no help.

This was because this body was only a second avatar, created using supreme treasures, making it different from a real living being in terms of cultivation.

Nevertheless, since Ye Tian had already comprehended the Chaos Dao to the pinnacle of the Dharmic Aspect Realm, recovering to this pinnacle wasn’t impossible, just troublesome.

In the blink of an eye, several centuries had passed.

Through Ye Tian’s full efforts in comprehension, the second avatar not only entered the threshold of the Chaos Dao but also reached the pinnacle of the Dharmic Aspect Realm.

At this point, Ye Tian realized that the second avatar could never enter the Origin Realm, as its foundational comprehension of the Chaos Dao was unstable from the start, and the path taken had been somewhat skewed.

Ye Tian understood the reason—he had been too hasty, focusing solely on quickly enhancing his strength at the expense of a solid foundation. However, he had no choice but to do so.

He couldn’t afford to squander much time; he had to rise rapidly.

“The outcome is favorable. The second avatar should now be infinitely close to the Supreme level. If I use the Desolate Lord Mandate to control the Desolate Realm’s power, it would certainly rival a top-tier Supreme. Even if I can’t match the Desolate Lord, I won’t be instantly killed and can persist until the moment I control the Desolate Realm!” Ye Tian estimated.

“It’s time to go to the Desolate Realm. But this time, I’ll leave the main body behind. Once I control the Desolate Realm, I can bring the main body in,” Ye Tian thought.

Subsequently, Ye Tian sent his second avatar out of the Holy City and the human territory, knowing that a stranger at the Heavenly Venerable level wandering in human territory would easily be detected and killed by the Supremes.

Ye Tian certainly didn’t want his painstakingly crafted second avatar to die at the hands of his own people, which would be a significant loss!

Outside the human territory,

Ye Tian’s second avatar appeared here, then immediately boarded a spaceship to travel towards the location of the Desolate Realm.

Along the way, Ye Tian avoided the territories of some major clans, passing through only the territories of smaller clans and desolate areas.

A few days later, Ye Tian finally arrived in the region where the Desolate Realm was located.

At this time, the Desolate Realm was very peaceful. Always keeping a low profile, the Desolate Realm had long been forgotten by the myriad races, and even the Supremes of the Twelve Cosmic Eras had not set their sights on it.

Thus, there were no powerful beings outside the Desolate Realm at this moment.

“The Desolate Realm prohibits powerful beings from entering. If other Supremes tried, they wouldn’t be able to get in, but with the Desolate Lord Mandate in my hand, the prohibitions of the Desolate Realm are ineffective against me!” Ye Tian murmured.

Then, holding the Desolate Lord Mandate, he flew to the barrier of the Desolate Realm and stepped into its interior.

In the Desolate Realm, within a strange mountain range, Ye Tian’s second avatar’s figure appeared.

“I’m in!” Ye Tian said.

At this moment, with the Desolate Lord Mandate refined, he clearly sensed the Desolate Realm’s power surrounding him, which he could control, far surpassing the power controlled by the Desolate Mark talent.

“This is true control over the Desolate Realm’s power. The Desolate Mark talent is merely an incidental gift created by the Desolate Lord when he birthed the Desolate Beasts. It’s nothing significant.

Now that I’ve entered the Desolate Realm, the Desolate Lord won’t notice. But if I fully activate the Desolate Lord Mandate to control the Desolate Realm, the Desolate Lord and other Supreme-level Innate Deities will definitely become aware!” Ye Tian thought.

After contemplating for a while, Ye Tian decided to activate the Desolate Lord Mandate.

“It’s starting!” Ye Tian fully activated the Desolate Lord Mandate.

Boom!!!! The Desolate Lord Mandate transformed into a massive sphere of light, communicating with the Desolate Realm’s origin, gradually invading its core. Once the Desolate Lord Mandate fully controlled the Desolate Realm’s origin, it would mean Ye Tian controlled it.

By that time, he could suppress all living beings within the Desolate Realm with a single thought. Unless the power of a certain being could rival the Desolate Realm or forcefully break through it, no one could resist Ye Tian.

Simultaneously…

At the center of the Desolate Realm, in an ancient temple.

A figure that had remained motionless for millennia suddenly stirred.

This person wore ancient beast-skin robes, exuding an archaic aura, with golden patterns on his body.

He was the creator of the Desolate Beast clan—the Desolate Lord.

“The aura of the Desolate Lord Mandate… Someone is attempting to control the Desolate Realm. Who could it be?” the Desolate Lord roared in fury.

He had always sought the Desolate Lord Mandate but had failed repeatedly. Unexpectedly, it had resurfaced now.

“Could it be that while I was in seclusion, some Innate Deity obtained the Desolate Lord Mandate from the Desolate Tower and now seeks to control the Desolate Realm? Hmph, courting death! The Desolate Lord Mandate belongs to me!”

The Desolate Lord flew out of the temple, heading towards the source of the Mandate’s aura.

Aside from the Desolate Lord, other Supreme-level Innate Deities in the Desolate Realm also emerged from seclusion, moving towards Ye Tian’s location.

As for the weaker Innate Deities, though they didn’t dare to approach, they still sent their divine senses.

An astounding battle was about to unfold!
