Ye Chen continuously spewed golden saint blood, even his Saint Body Essence Blood, all of it splashing onto the Divine Stone Coffin. Visible to the naked eye, one coffin lid after another flipped open, revealing an even smaller stone coffin within.
Each coffin lid was engraved with different patterns, depicting the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
However, for some reason, the Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race all felt a terrifying sense of crisis rising in their hearts—a feeling that had basically never appeared since they achieved monarch status. But every time it did appear, it undoubtedly represented a heaven-shaking crisis, and this time was no exception.
"Attack! We cannot let this brat completely open that special stone coffin. It might be the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, burying an Emperor!"
The Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race all changed expressions, directly attacking to block Ye Chen's opening. But Tyrant Heaven Sovereign had long since positioned himself in front, intercepting everything. Although more blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, he did not let a single attack truly land on Ye Chen.
At this moment, the fifth stone coffin was opened. Ordinary saint blood and the Saint Body Essence Blood sprayed from the tip of his tongue were no longer enough.
Ye Chen's complexion was somewhat pale, but he remained calm. He pierced his chest and abdomen, splitting open his heart. Immediately, a stream of crimson essence blood sprayed out, containing life essence as vast as the sea—his life divine energy—landing on the sixth ancient coffin.
Clang—
At this very moment, the sixth coffin lid within the Divine Stone Coffin was completely flung open. An aura of terror that surpassed everything erupted from within, instantly flooding the heavens, accompanied by boundless deathly aura that swept through heaven and earth. Everything seemed on the verge of destruction.
This aura was filled with ominousness, even more terrifying than an Ancient Monarch, plunging the already collapsing Emperor Realm further into chaos.
Even Tyrant Heaven Sovereign changed expression, murmuring, "This is—"
But compared to Tyrant Heaven Sovereign, the Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race changed expressions even more drastically. Although they didn't know exactly who was buried within the Divine Stone Coffin, that aura was enough to shatter everything, capable of burying all things in the heavens, omnipotent.
Moreover, for them, it held a special targeting quality, as if it was inherently aimed at them, subjecting them to immense pressure and causing great alarm.
"I'm sorry, Senior Wuxiang. This junior did not wish to disturb your slumber and recovery, but the Sealed Realm is in crisis. This time, I beseech you to take action, bury and annihilate all, and protect the safety of the Emperor's Pass." Ye Chen whispered to himself, his complexion pale from spraying out too much Saint Body Essence Blood. All of this was only to better revive Sovereign of Formlessness.
Yet, even Tyrant Heaven Sovereign beside him was greatly shocked. The one buried within the Divine Stone Coffin was actually the legendary King of Sovereigns, Sovereign of Formlessness!?
Chaos ancient qi surged forth, Corpse Evil Qi swept out, crushing the thirty-three layers of heaven and shaking the great world.
Within the Divine Stone Coffin, a hazy ancient corpse appeared, flickering in and out of sight. The void directly shattered, and boundless supreme pressure rippled forth.
"Is this an Emperor? Otherwise, how could there be such a terrifying aura?"
"No, it's not an Emperor, not an Emperor's corpse. This is—Sovereign of Formlessness!"
The Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race all changed expressions, their words even filled with terror: "Impossible! How could it be this person? During the Mythical Epoch, wasn't he thoroughly suppressed and annihilated, body and soul completely destroyed, by the combined efforts of our realm's two Monarchs and seven peerless sovereigns—nine peerless powerhouses who paid the ultimate price of all perishing? Why can his corpse remain undecayed?"
This was the most terrifying thing. In the past, the nine peerless sovereigns killed Sovereign of Formlessness, even with two Monarchs among them, setting up layer upon layer of traps. Yet they still paid the heavy price of all sovereigns perishing together. It was only due to the Alien Race Emperor's intervention in the end that Sovereign of Formlessness was completely slain.
This person was too terrifying. His reputation in the Mythical Epoch was far too illustrious, hailed as the number one under Emperors. How could he not be invincible?
But now, the person who was killed actually left his corpse behind, existing in the world, and the ancient coffin burying him was opened. The undecaying ancient corpse descended. This could be said to be the most dreadful event.
The boundless Corpse Evil Qi could corrode everything, annihilate time and space. Moreover, continuously irrigated by Ye Chen's Saint Body Essence Blood, the ancient corpse of Sovereign of Formlessness suddenly opened its eyes at this moment. Its pupils shot out terrifying golden light, piercing through the sky.
With a loud boom, one of the Ancient Monarchs had his supreme monarch body pierced through by the gaze, leaving two terrifying bloody holes. Monarch blood splattered, shocking everyone because it was too horrifying.
A single gaze could pierce a monarch body—a power likely only possessed by Emperors—yet it appeared on the undecaying ancient corpse of the deceased Sovereign of Formlessness.
"It really is Sovereign of Formlessness. Is he going to revive?"
The Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race felt a deep-seated fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Yes, fear. Because Sovereign of Formlessness in the Mythical Epoch was too terrifying, killing sovereigns like slaughtering dogs, even Monarchs could not rival him. He was an invincible existence capable of fighting against a peerless Emperor.
Throughout the ages, how many could achieve this?
Even if it wasn't the true Sovereign of Formlessness, just his remains, it was still enough to make the Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race feel deep-seated fear.
And at this very moment, Sovereign of Formlessness faintly appeared amidst the endless Corpse Evil Qi, appearing majestic, towering, and peerless. His flesh was full, without a single trace of injury, as if he were from the Mythical Epoch. His black hair cascaded like a waterfall. His eyes opened, empty yet seemingly flickering with a trace of spiritual light.
The ancient corpse of Sovereign of Formlessness, which was merely a desiccated corpse in the past, was already terrifying enough. In the Silent Emperor Realm, Battle Saint Ancestor even injected a complete Emperor's origin into it, completely filling out the flesh and blood, adding more vitality, as if the true Sovereign of Formlessness was reviving.
He was too peerless and matchless, dominating the heavens. Who could contend with him? Even now, with only an Emperor's corpse remaining, it was still so.
"Senior, I apologize. The Emperor's Pass is in too great a crisis. The Gate Lord has also buried himself. Now, only by inviting you out can we bury and annihilate everything!" Ye Chen continuously sprayed Saint Body Essence Blood, irrigating the corpse of Sovereign of Formlessness. After those drops of Saint Body Essence Blood were absorbed, that aura became increasingly boundless and terrifying.
Boom—
The Corpse Evil Qi dispersed. The moment Sovereign of Formlessness appeared, the heavens trembled, the myriad realms shook, the world itself wailed, and the Great Dao submitted.
Without a doubt, this was an extremely shocking scene, one that the multitudes would find difficult to forget, needing to be forever engraved in their hearts.
A trace of spiritual light appeared in the empty eyes of Sovereign of Formlessness's ancient corpse. He strode forward, enveloped in chaos, his figure hazy. All heroes felt compelled to kneel and prostrate, feeling deep reverence from the bottom of their hearts.
The Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race were even more terrified, involuntarily retreating several steps, thump, thump, thump.
Sovereign of Formlessness was too powerful, standing there, majestic and boundless, as if about to crush the myriad domains of the heavens into complete shattering. Only he endured eternally, undecaying and indestructible.
However, Ye Chen's complexion grew increasingly pale. Because every drop of Saint Body Essence Blood was equivalent to consuming his life force, all burning away, transforming into boundless life divine energy to allow Sovereign of Formlessness to revive.
Boom—
At the same time, the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd broke free from Tyrant Heaven Sovereign's grasp, landing in the hand of Sovereign of Formlessness's corpse. Golden light spontaneously emanated, requiring no activation, more like it had taken residence within Sovereign of Formlessness. Boundless Corpse Evil Qi accompanied the vast, mighty golden light.
"Is Sovereign of Formlessness really going to revive?" The Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race all wore expressions of shock and fear.
Boom—
The ancient corpse of Sovereign of Formlessness did not speak, peerless and matchless, supremely outstanding. Holding the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, it charged forward. Even though the Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race possessed three Emperor weapons, they were swept aside, blood flying.
Too powerful! Even as just an ancient corpse, it was invincible!
Only, Sovereign of Formlessness at this time was eerie. Even with the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, he could not fully display his strongest power. Only by Ye Chen cutting open his heart, continuously spraying Saint Body Essence Blood, and endlessly offering it up could he activate the origin's mighty power within Sovereign of Formlessness's body.
It could be seen that the Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race, already suffering terrible heavy injuries, now under the assault of Sovereign of Formlessness's undecaying ancient corpse, were even more drenched in blood. Among them, some even had half their bodies shattered alive, eroded by Corpse Evil Qi, unable to recover for a long time.
Too terrifying! Even an undecaying physical body with a extinguished divine soul still possessed invincible might. The seven sovereigns found it difficult to harm his undecaying body.
However, an Alien Race Ancient Monarch also snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with cold lightning, saying coldly, "Don't overthink it. The true Sovereign of Formlessness was already killed long ago. Even if he left behind an undecaying physical body comparable to an Emperor's, even if it's no worse than an Emperor's body, he is ultimately a dead man, not the true Sovereign of Formlessness. What is there to fear? Today, we will completely shatter even his undecaying ancient corpse, leaving not a shred of hope for Sovereign of Formlessness's revival."
Upon hearing this, the other Alien Race Ancient Monarchs sobered up. The reason for their apprehension, the reason for their fear, was none other than the number one under Emperors in the Mythical Epoch, Sovereign of Formlessness, not the current undecaying ancient corpse of Sovereign of Formlessness whose divine soul had been annihilated.
No matter how powerful, it could not be the true Sovereign of Formlessness.
Sovereign of Formlessness, with his divine soul extinguished, leaving only his physical body—how powerful could he be? At most, just difficult to decay, with his laws vanished.
Sure enough, the Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race joined forces, raising their weapons to resist the ancient corpse of Sovereign of Formlessness. The battle caused the collapsing Emperor Realm to manifest various terrifying phenomena: ghostly wails and divine howls, spectral soldiers crossing borders, heaven weeping and earth grieving, mythical holy spirits emerging...
One terrifying phenomenon after another appeared, but all of it was completely insufficient, ground to nothingness by the undecaying ancient corpse of Sovereign of Formlessness and the Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race.
The world also witnessed the terror of Sovereign of Formlessness. Even leaving behind only an undecaying ancient corpse, after being inhabited by the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd's artifact spirit, it still possessed peerless divine might. Truly worthy of being the peerless existence who, in the past, was plotted against and killed by nine peerless sovereigns led by two Monarchs of the alien race, yet dragged them all to their graves, and only perished with regret after the Alien Race Emperor intervened in the end.
But just as the Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race said, the undecaying ancient corpse was ultimately not the true Sovereign of Formlessness, merely his undecaying physical body comparable to an Emperor's level. It lacked the strongest Dao techniques from his lifetime, possessing only an invincible body. The Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd could not be wielded for long either; its spirituality was ultimately decaying, its combat power sharply decreasing, about to return to the Divine Stone Coffin.
Moreover, on the battlefield between the two realms, within those gates of light, although the other Ancient Monarchs of the alien race had not completely descended, they were extremely close. From within came terrifying killing intent and Dao laws, aiding the Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race, preventing Tyrant Heaven Sovereign and the myriad great powers controlling the Realm Tower from assisting the undecaying ancient corpse.
Everything seemed to be truly coming to an end.
One could hear, from within those gates of light, the sound of vast footsteps. The other Ancient Monarchs of the alien race were already about to completely descend.
Especially from the central, vast gate of light, the Emperor's aura grew increasingly terrifying.
If the Emperor's Pass Heaven Gate did not close soon, it would be complete despair.
And, the Supreme Human Sovereign had not yet completely descended.
"The Emperor's Pass... could it truly be completely overrun? The Heaven Gate Lord burying himself didn't work. The undecaying ancient corpse of Sovereign of Formlessness didn't work either. How else can we block this alien race crisis?" The myriad great powers were grief-stricken and despairing.
"Hahaha—Sovereign of Formlessness, you are ultimately a dead man. Today, we will completely shatter even your undecaying physical body!"
The Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race, though covered in blood and wounds, with some having half their demonic bodies shattered, still possessed a terrifying aura. They charged toward Sovereign of Formlessness, intent on completely shattering this undecaying physical body no weaker than an Emperor's body.
"The Sealed Realm will not fall! The Emperor's Pass will not break! As long as the Emperor's Pass Heaven Gate can be closed, everything will end, everything will conclude!"
"Now, let me offer the last bit of strength, to eternally guard the Sealed Realm!"
Ye Chen sat cross-legged in the void, his entire body burning fiercely, emitting boundless light that illuminated the heavens.
At this moment, he was so peerless and matchless.
Golden light accompanied by wisps of crimson blood radiance, along with a special mass of chaos true blood. Chaos laws surged. His entire person transformed into a blazing ball of light that shot toward Sovereign of Formlessness, merging into the undecaying ancient corpse.
"As a fellow Battle Saint, as a fellow Tenth Heaven, let me sacrifice myself, completely revive Sovereign of Formlessness's origin, and shatter all incoming enemies..."
These were Ye Chen's words lingering in the void. He completely sacrificed his entire self, using the power of his Battle Saint Body's sacrifice to fully activate Sovereign of Formlessness's undecaying physical body, allowing the Dao laws from his past life contained within the flesh to erupt, presenting the invincible posture of the Mythical Epoch.
The Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd also fully revived. Boundless golden light erupted explosively, as if the true Sovereign of Formlessness had returned to the world. At this moment, a glimmer of undecaying will appeared in his gaze, like a peerless Great Emperor striking out—
Boom!
The seven sovereigns were directly swept away, skin torn and flesh rent. An Alien Race sovereign even had his majestic demonic body explode.
Sovereign of Formlessness returned against the heavens to wage war. A faint trace of spiritual light flickered in his eyes, as if a divine soul had taken residence, possessing Ye Chen's unyielding will to guard the Emperor's Pass.
Boundless golden light bloomed. Sovereign of Formlessness seemed to have truly revived, displaying the invincible might of myth, directly sweeping the Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race and even the three supreme Emperor weapons out of the Emperor's Pass.
Invincible!
Among it was the strongest power. Chaos ancient qi accompanied by terrifying Corpse Evil Qi charged toward the alien race's gates of light that were about to descend, intending to shatter them.
Ye Chen's Battle Saint Soul, attached to Sovereign of Formlessness, was also rapidly burning, elevating soul power. But the time was short; he was about to burn out.
Finally, Ye Chen burned himself to the limit, causing Sovereign of Formlessness's undecaying physical body to erupt with the most terrifying power, as if an Emperor had descended to strike...
Ye Chen dissipated. Whether his physical body or his divine soul, they completely dissipated.
When the last trace of consciousness remained, his consciousness left Sovereign of Formlessness. He saw outside the Emperor's Pass, several of the Seven Monarchs of the Alien Race successively exploded by Sovereign of Formlessness. Black blood radiance flooded the battlefield between the two realms, sweeping through the surrounding chaos sea.
He saw those gates of light through which Ancient Monarchs were crossing domains shatter. He also saw the most majestic Emperor's gate of light disintegrate, from within came unwilling roars...
Finally, he saw the Divine Stone Coffin fly over, also separating from Sovereign of Formlessness's undecaying physical body...
Hazily, he saw the terrifying figure of the Alien Race Emperor, towering over ancient and modern times, many times larger than the Alien Race sovereigns, descending before the Emperor's Pass, crushing the eternal sky.
He saw the Supreme Human Sovereign descend, standing atop the Emperor's Pass, equally peerless and matchless, his Emperor's shadow peerless, holding the Human Sovereign Holy Sword capable of severing time and space, facing off against the Alien Race Emperor on either side of the Emperor's Pass...
Ye Chen did not know if an ultimate Emperor battle occurred in the end, because he could no longer see. His Battle Saint Soul had completely burned out. Everything, everything, was about to be extinguished, about to vanish.
At the final instant, his consciousness seemed to traverse time and space, breaking through all boundaries, returning to the Sealed Realm Universe, passing through the Tenfold Emperor's Pass, traversing the myriad domains of the heavens, crossing endless spatial turbulence, arriving at the Ancient Orchid Great World, and also at the Ancient Orchid Sacred Sect.
His figure was ethereal and invisible. He saw within the majestic and solemn palace halls, within gardens as beautiful as immortal soil, his three wives, peerlessly beautiful like immortals, talking and laughing under the gentle sunlight. He saw Yi Wu's face glowing with the sacred radiance of an expectant mother, her delicate hand gently stroking her slightly protruding abdomen, whispering softly to herself and Ye Chen's own flesh and blood, occasionally smiling sweetly, filled with happiness.
He saw the younger sister who had depended on him since childhood, Ruo Xi. He saw the daughter he had adopted but was closer than a biological child, Ya Ya. He saw the parents who had given birth to and raised him in this life...
He was making his final farewell, going to see his dearest ones.
Hazily, as if sensing something, several of them suddenly looked up at the sky, glancing at each other in surprise and doubt, as if they had all sensed something.
Especially at this moment, Yi Wu felt a slight pain in her abdomen because the baby in her belly kicked.
Yet, everyone inexplicably felt a surge of grief, as if their dearest one was leaving. They involuntarily shed tears, touching their faces, murmuring to themselves, "Why are we crying..."
"Farewell, Father, Mother!"
"Farewell, Chen'er, Jing Ruo, Wu'er, and Yu Qing!"
"Farewell, Xi'er!"
"Farewell, Ya Ya!"
Ye Chen's lingering consciousness looked at his loved ones, softly speaking, then completely dissipated. A spark of spiritual light instantly left the Sealed Realm Universe, merging into the boundless chaos sea, completely vanishing without a trace.
Upon the Realm Tower, the Time-Space Great Emperor softly sighed, leaving behind endless regret...
Ye Chen also did not know that at the instant his consciousness dissipated, a drop of mysterious crimson blood appeared there—Saint Ancestor Emperor Blood. From there came a sigh...
