Boom—
In the vast starry sky, darkness and silence were the eternal themes.
Yet on this day, a brilliant light flashed through the entire cosmos like lightning. It was a human figure, unleashing the most majestic aura of the Great Dao, illuminating the entire starry sky and sweeping across all directions.
Visible to the naked eye, it was a heroic, peerless figure, accompanied by swathes of primordial Chaos Qi, streaking across the starry sky like lightning, traversing one vast star domain after another. His speed was simply astonishing—so fast that even a Heavenly King could not capture his figure, and ancient Great Sages would pale at the sight.
Boom—
His speed was too great, truly causing the stars to shift. Vast star domains flowed backward rapidly with his steps.
Finally, half a day later, this figure charged into a mysterious Primordial Star deep within the starry sky. That star possessed a majestic aura, quite extraordinary, containing wisps of primordial Chaos Qi within.
The moment this heroic, peerless figure appeared, his majestic aura directly enveloped this region of the starry sky, even penetrating through space to cover this Primordial Star. The billions of living beings inhabiting it fell into complete silence at that moment, trembling uncontrollably.
For even the most powerful Heavenly King on the Primordial Star seemed utterly insignificant before this terrifying aura, like mortals facing a deity—the difference was too vast, completely incomparable.
However, this supremely potent Great Dao aura lasted only for an instant before vanishing, because that heroic, peerless figure had also disappeared, directly plunging into the depths of the Primordial Star, vanishing completely.
Within the chaotic inner space of the Primordial Star, with a whoosh, that heroic figure appeared. Yet the moment he appeared, he nearly collapsed, with copious amounts of blood seeping from all his pores, appearing quite horrifying.
He struggled to lie down inside that mysterious Stone Coffin, also seeing within it endless Great Dao runes, all of them the most mysterious Chaos runes, interweaving here, causing the primordial Chaos Qi within the chaotic inner space to be wildly drawn over. Everything poured into the heroic figure.
That's right, he was Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen's condition at this moment was very poor, even critical, for he had suffered extremely severe wounds. That mysterious Chaos Deity was simply too powerful. Even though he had defeated it, it was only a pyrrhic victory.
Yes, all of this was merely a pyrrhic victory.
The current Ye Chen had clearly suffered the most terrible wounds. His entire body was cracked, and even his Chaos Saint Soul was severely damaged, nearly on the verge of complete disintegration, heading down the path of physical and spiritual annihilation.
Not long ago, he had narrowly defeated the Chaos Deity Clone, but at that time, he had only barely reassembled his physical body, far from fully recovering.
Throughout this journey, he had forcibly endured the terrifying wounds that threatened to shatter his form, traversing the boundless starry sky, finally returning to this star domain. All of this was solely to enter the Primordial Star, and further, to enter the chaotic inner space, to heal better here.
Because only primordial Chaos Qi was the best for recovering from his injuries.
Boom—
Suddenly, Ye Chen could no longer withstand the backlash of his injuries. His entire body exploded, his physical form shattered, and his Chaos Saint Soul showed signs of disintegration, cracking inch by inch, with some parts even beginning to completely annihilate.
“Saint Body Regeneration Art!”
Ye Chen roared. His Chaos Saint Soul glowed, erupting with boundless golden light, manifesting the supreme healing secret art from the Battle Saint Art—the Saint Body Regeneration Art—to perform heaven-defying healing. He wildly devoured the abundant primordial Chaos Qi in this space to repair his wounded body.
Moreover, the ten-thousand-year medicinal treasures and miraculous elixirs obtained from the Killing Venerable and the Primordial Beast God within his body were all refined without regard for cost. All of this was solely to prevent his injuries from worsening again.
The soul light sphere that had not yet been fully purified now surged out, plunging into the Chaos Great Cauldron. Within, Chaos Dao Fire blazed fiercely, forcibly refining it. A large amount of information streams were refined and evaporated away, yet a great deal of soul power was also wasted.
But none of this mattered anymore, because Ye Chen's injuries were too severe. He directly devoured the vast amount of soul power refined by the Chaos Dao Fire. The Saint Body Regeneration Art continuously operated, also replenishing his depleted Chaos origin.
The Origin Power Sphere, after being processed, continuously poured its vast divine power into Ye Chen's reassembled Chaos Saint Body.
However, before Ye Chen could even begin to repair his wounded body, with a boom, he exploded once more.
Visible to the naked eye, within the blood mist and white bones of Ye Chen's explosion, at the core, there was a peculiar light sphere, swirling with chaotic light and permeated with primordial Chaos Qi. It was a solidified Chaos light sphere, containing majestic Chaos Source Power.
It appeared no larger than a baby's fist, yet the Chaos Source Power energy it contained would shock even ancient Great Sages. Moreover, it was filled with the most terrifying killing intent, enough to annihilate an ancient Great Sage with this Chaos Killing Intent.
Yes, it was precisely this special Chaos Source Power sphere that had inflicted such severe wounds upon Ye Chen.
This was obtained from the shattered Chaos Deity Clone—the source power core of the Chaos Deity Clone. The astonishing Chaos Source Power contained within far exceeded imagination.
Ye Chen had already suffered the most terrible wounds from his battle with the Chaos Deity Clone, hanging by a thread, on the brink of death. Yet, seeing this Chaos Source Power sphere about to soar into the sky and break through space to leave, he had riskily devoured it at the last moment, hoping to refine it to help himself advance further.
However, the fearsomeness of the Chaos Source Power sphere exceeded his imagination. Now, he suffered a terrible backlash, worsening his injuries like adding frost to snow.
The terrifying Chaos Source Power contained within this Chaos Source Power sphere continuously erupted, accompanied by the most dreadful killing intent—the killing intent of an absolute supreme Great Power, far more terrifying than that of ordinary Great Powers. It ceaselessly extinguished the vitality within Ye Chen's body, aiming to completely annihilate the life force in every inch of his flesh and blood, causing Ye Chen to perish utterly.
Fortunately, it was Ye Chen, possessing the Chaos Saint Body and cultivating the Chaos Dao, who could to some extent neutralize this kind of Chaos Killing Intent.
Otherwise, for any other ancient Great Sage, it would basically mean certain death.
Yet, that was all. The true form of the Chaos Deity was undoubtedly a peerless existence of unimaginable fearsomeness. Ye Chen even suspected it might be the most dreadful Primordial Monarch; otherwise, how could the Chaos Source Power sphere be so terrifying?
Boom—
Ye Chen roared. His entire body erupted with saintly light and chaos, transforming into wisps of Chaos Dao Fire, turning instead to refine the Chaos Source Power sphere, to completely make it his own, to help himself take the final step, to achieve the status of the strongest Chaos Great Power throughout history!
