Crack—
The instant Ye Chen opened his eyes, he felt as if the heavens and earth had shifted, everything changing color, as though the world was shaking and all things were about to vanish.
Between heaven and earth, only that pair of special eyes remained.
Ye Chen's eyes were not dazzling; on the contrary, they appeared profound—so profound they seemed capable of devouring everything. All living beings across the myriad heavens would be swallowed into this pair of extraordinary eyes.
Even the Holy Church Heavenly God, a Heavenly King at the peak with a divine soul bolstered by Faith Power no weaker than a Great Power's, experienced a momentary lapse, a fleeting disorientation, his mind going completely blank and stunned the instant he met Ye Chen's gaze.
"What a terrifying gaze!"
"The Battle Saint King has finally awakened. Has his transformation succeeded?"
Not just the Holy Church Heavenly God, but even the other ancient Great Powers in the distant sky changed expressions. The dreadfulness of that gaze made even them feel a momentary daze.
What a terrifying gaze it was, beyond imagination.
Without a doubt, the current Battle Saint King must have transformed to an astonishingly high level; otherwise, he wouldn't be this fearsome.
Naturally, among the many Great Powers, some were overjoyed, while others wore grim expressions, sensing an unfavorable outcome.
At this moment, when the Holy Church Heavenly God regained his senses, his expression was already filled with terror. He stared in horror at the Battle Saint King before him. Just how powerful must his divine soul be to make even him lose focus for a moment?
A moment was enough for such a powerhouse to accomplish many things—killing him would be more than sufficient.
Yet what horrified him even more was the discovery that the God-Killing Sword, brimming with killing intent, was firmly grasped by a pale, slender hand. Five fingers clenched around it, rendering it immobile no matter how hard he tried to pull it back.
Even the boundless killing aura erupting from the God-Killing Sword, capable of annihilating great worlds, seemed utterly insignificant against that long, pale hand.
Because all the killing intent had been neutralized. Even the God-Killing Sword trembled slightly, as if fearful of something.
Whoosh—
The Battle Saint King rose to his full height, standing face-to-face with the Holy Church Heavenly God. Though they were at the same height, it felt more like he was looking down from a superior position. He spoke indifferently, "Heavenly God, you have disappointed me."
"You... you've regained your memories!?"
At this moment, even the Holy Church Heavenly God, foolish as he was, realized that the Battle Saint King had recovered his memories. Shock and terror filled him, and he immediately sought to retreat swiftly. At the same time, vast amounts of Faith Power poured down to attack Ye Chen.
Yet Ye Chen watched all this coldly, utterly unmoved. "Using my Faith Power to attack me? You truly are incompetent."
"Disperse!"
With a single light command from him, the Faith Power filling the sky instantly vanished without a trace.
Words became law!
This applied only to his Faith Power. Moreover, even without utilizing Faith Power, he now far surpassed his former self.
A century ago, he had sacrificed himself, reviving the supreme combat power of the Sovereign of Formlessness to battle the seven Sovereigns of the alien race, cleaving the Light Gate and completely halting that terrifying war between the two ancient universes, thus protecting the Sealed Realm Universe.
That time, he appeared to have been annihilated in body and soul, but no one saw the final wisp of his divine soul silently enveloped by the Saint Ancestor Emperor Blood within his body.
Included within was also a drop of Chaos True Blood, both buried within the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin and submerged into the depths of the Chaos Sea.
In this world, there are two types of coffins. One is the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, reserved only for Emperors.
The second is the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin, second only to the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin.
Yet, what kind of figure was the Sovereign of Formlessness of old? The foremost under the Emperors, capable of battling Emperors themselves, he too was qualified to be buried in a Nine-Layered Divine Coffin.
The reason he was buried in a Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin was merely to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, the Battle Saint Ancestor had gone to great lengths to resurrect his chief disciple, the Sovereign of Formlessness. Not only did he bestow a complete Emperor's origin at the Most Ancient Ancestral Altar, but the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin used to bury the Sovereign of Formlessness's remains was in no way inferior to a Nine-Layered Divine Coffin. It even utilized the Six Paths of Reincarnation to seal body and soul, thereby nurturing a new hope for resurrection.
Once the Six Paths of Reincarnation Coffin sank into the depths of the Chaos Sea, the Saint Ancestor Emperor Blood immediately exerted its earth-shattering effect.
The Battle Saint Ancestor was, after all, the first-generation possessor of the Battle Sacred Body. Both the Battle Saint Art and the Battle Sacred Body were pioneered by him. That drop of Saint Ancestor Emperor Blood represented the ultimate potential for the Battle Sacred Body's transformation, containing all the mysteries of the Battle Sacred Body, sufficient to nurture a perfect Battle Sacred Body anew.
Simultaneously, the drop of Chaos True Blood he had left behind also began to revive. It contained all of Ye Chen's insights into the Chaos Dao, as well as those of Tai Sheng Huang.
While the Saint Ancestor Emperor Blood nurtured a new Battle Sacred Body, the Chaos True Blood quietly merged into it, triggering a special transformation. It absorbed the boundless Chaos Qi from the Chaos Sea, accelerating the process and even causing the originally forming Battle Sacred Body to undergo a new change.
In the depths of the Chaos Sea, within the Six Paths of Reincarnation Coffin, a century of silence, a century of slumber, a century of transformation—all of it granted Ye Chen a completely different, heaven-defying metamorphosis.
He was no longer simply a Battle Sacred Body. He had become even more powerful, his flesh and blood nurturing Chaos Power, his blood energy containing ancient Chaos Qi, surpassing imagination and becoming even more perfect and extraordinary than the Battle Sacred Body of old.
The Saint Body was supremely tough and strong, unyieldingly fierce.
Now, this physique possessed the characteristics of the Saint Body while also embodying the traits of Chaos, capable of grinding away and neutralizing everything.
For this current physical constitution, even more powerful than the Battle Sacred Body, Ye Chen named it the Chaos Saint Body!
An invincible constitution achievable only through the Chaos Dao and the Battle Sacred Body—a truly unrivaled battle physique!
When he first awakened from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Coffin, having lost all past memories, he could already battle invincible beings below the level of Great Powers like the Holy Church Heavenly God and Lou Changfeng relying solely on the Chaos Saint Body. Now, with all memories restored and his divine soul power terrifyingly soaring, accompanied by Chaos light, he was so powerful it made one's heart tremble.
With body and soul united, Ye Chen was destined to be invincible.
"Go!"
The instant he saw the Faith Power dissipate, the Holy Church Heavenly God was utterly horrified, knowing he would face the most dreadful consequences. He didn't even want the God-Killing Sword anymore, immediately shooting skyward to reach the side of the seven ancient Great Powers: the Ancient Demon God, the Great Power from the Tai Sheng Huang Clan, the Killing Venerable, and others.
Only beside these Great Powers, who stood on the same front, could he be safe.
His speed was indeed fast, but Ye Chen was faster.
Swish—
With just a single step, he traversed nearly half the distance of the Divine Realm—unbelievably fast, surpassing common sense and reason. He stood before the Holy Church Heavenly God, who was charging forward, majestic and peerless like an immortal monument, unshakable, his black hair flowing like dragons. He spoke coldly, "Trying to escape? Can you outrun me?"
