"Who is it that actually subdued the Nine-headed Great Serpent!"
Many among them also noticed the Nine-headed Great Serpent, as its figure was far too colossal and immense, dwarfing even the mountain ranges.
Moreover, there were quite a few alchemy prodigies from the Dan Emperor Clan present, who were well aware that such a fearsome Nine-headed Great Serpent lay dormant within the Danxu Ancient Realm. It was extremely powerful, to the point that even some of the Great Power ancestors within their clan were wary of it. Yet, they never imagined it would be subdued by someone now, making it truly hard to believe.
"A terrifying overlord of Danxu has actually been tamed!"
One of them was Dan Xian, whose expression also changed. Accompanying him was his friend, the young supreme of the Dwarf Race, Fei Tuo. As a young supreme, Fei Tuo was also at the Great Power realm, with cultivation surpassing that of ordinary Great Powers, which was why Dan Xian had invited him as a helper.
The other Great Powers also changed their expressions, similarly sensing the fearsomeness of this Great Power-level Nine-headed Great Serpent. It was definitely no ordinary giant demon.
"It's the Battle Saint King!"
Soon, everyone saw a figure of extraordinary, heroic bearing standing atop the central and largest serpent head. Tall and slender, with black hair cascading like a waterfall, the entire person resembled an unsheathed divine sword—so striking, so awe-inspiring, brimming with heroic spirit and peerless majesty.
Accompanied by wisps of primordial Chaos Qi, he seemed like a young Emperor. Who else could it be but the Battle Saint King?
Everyone was startled. It was actually the Battle Saint King who had subdued the most fearsome Nine-headed Great Serpent in the Danxu Ancient Realm.
Ye Chen did not conceal his figure. On the contrary, he gazed back from afar with an indifferent expression, urging the Nine-headed Great Serpent to charge at an even faster speed toward the deepest part of the Danxu Ancient Realm.
The others also dared not slack off in the slightest, all accelerating their pace and rushing toward the deepest part.
The deepest part of the Danxu Ancient Realm was very special. It was not land, but a vast divine sea—boundless, immense, and infinite, covering an area of hundreds of millions of li.
Moreover, the divine sea was boiling, filled with turbulence. Chaotic auras seethed within, yin winds howled, and bloody thunder clashed. Spatial fissures opened and closed intermittently, like the maws of abysses capable of devouring everything.
Within the divine sea, stars floated and sank, shimmering with light. Some were dead stars, devoid of life, while others were brimming with rich spiritual energy. There were also fragments of shattered continents drifting in the divine sea, never submerging, eternally afloat.
According to what he learned from the Nine-headed Great Serpent, all Medicine Spirits within the Danxu Ancient Realm existed within this Fallen Monarch Divine Sea.
Legend had it that this was the place where an Ancient Monarch of the Dan Emperor Clan from ancient times fell in battle against a great enemy. After his fall, the Great Dao divine power within his body surged forth completely, transforming into this vast divine sea. The terrain was utterly overturned and boiling, no longer peaceful but filled with turbulence.
Furthermore, the essence of that Ancient Monarch dissipated within this divine sea, drawing in the myriad stars of the monarch's ancient realm. As a result, this Fallen Monarch Divine Sea was both filled with destructive power and brimming with the most vast and potent vitality.
Cultivating here would also yield twice the result with half the effort.
Naturally, because the monarch's essence power was concentrated here, it was also the place where Medicine Spirits were most densely gathered. Unfortunately, it was also saturated with the destructive, annihilating aura of the Ancient Monarch. Even overlords of the Danxu Ancient Realm like the Nine-headed Great Serpent did not dare to rashly enter this place.
The Scarlet Flame Grass was also something the Nine-headed Great Demon had brought out ten thousand years ago after braving this place and paying a heavy price of severe injury.
Gazing at this Fallen Monarch Divine Sea, Ye Chen's eyes blazed, shooting out two beams of Chaos light.
For within it, he saw that in the deepest part of the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea, one spiritual natural treasure after another took root. They were all at least seven or eight thousand years old, with many already reaching the level of ten-thousand-year medicine treasures. He even saw two or three Medicine Spirits that had developed intelligence soaring through the air.
Indeed, this Fallen Monarch Divine Sea held the greatest abundance of treasures.
Naturally, it wasn't just Ye Chen who saw this; everyone else witnessed it as well, each revealing the most fervent light in their eyes, staring intently and eagerly at the depths of the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea.
"As long as I enter the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea, I will surely be able to gather enough natural treasures. Moreover, if I use Medicine Spirits for refining, the efficacy of the pills will increase by a thousandfold!"
Dan Xian thought to himself, his gaze filled with fervor.
The other alchemy prodigies harbored similar thoughts, each urging the ancient Great Sages they had hired: "Let's go!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
In an instant, experts from all directions rushed into the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea.
Ye Chen also smiled faintly and said, "Let's go!"
"Yes, Master!"
The Nine-headed Great Serpent let out a long roar and, carrying Ye Chen, also charged into this Fallen Monarch Divine Sea.
Boom—
The Fallen Monarch Divine Sea was vast and majestic, spanning over hundreds of millions of li. Its waves surged violently, crashing against the heavens. Each spray was pure Great Dao divine power—the divine power of that Ancient Monarch of the Dan Emperor Clan from ancient times, terrifying and immeasurable.
After his fall, it not only did not dissipate but, due to certain reasons, continued to exist like a sea, covering a majestic expanse of hundreds of millions of li.
From within, one could fully sense the great terror of the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea and could not help but marvel at the supreme, peerless power of an Ancient Monarch, who actually possessed such vast Great Dao divine power. Ancient Great Sages were simply left far behind.
Naturally, that Ancient Monarch of the Dan Emperor Clan was definitely an outstanding figure among monarchs; otherwise, he could not have possessed such a vast sea of divine power.
Ye Chen sighed inwardly. He did not know how many tens of thousands of years he would need to cultivate to finally reach this step, with divine power so vast that he could fear nothing and sweep through the heavens, invincible.
However, the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea was filled with endless dangers. Wave after wave of the divine power sea constantly boiled, often stirring up towering waves thousands of zhang high, mighty and overwhelming, collapsing the void and containing unparalleled destructive power. It made countless people tremble with fear; even ancient Great Sages had to be exceptionally careful here.
"Open!"
Among them, Ye Chen stood atop the serpent head of the Nine-headed Great Serpent. With a light shout, he brandished the Heaven-Wastage Halberd. Though not fully awakened, it still cleaved out a brilliant golden light, accompanied by primordial Chaos Qi, directly splitting apart the massive, crashing waves ahead and charging through. He then descended upon one of the stars.
This star was not very large, with a diameter of only about a thousand li. The Nine-headed Great Serpent could almost coil around it. It erupted with a surging fluctuation, blocking the terrifying waves stirred up by the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea.
Without a doubt, although this star was not very large, it was still vibrant with life, boasting beautiful mountains and rivers. Ancient forests stretched across the entire star, and upon it were arrays that could resist the divine power waves and convert Great Dao divine power into vital essence.
On it were many natural treasures, including seven ten-thousand-year medicine treasures. Naturally, there was also one Medicine Spirit—a Ginseng Fruit, crystal-clear like jade, flawless, and exuding a rich, fragrant aroma.
Its medicinal age was not very great, only about fifty thousand years, but it had already developed sufficient intelligence. Sensing the arrival of outsiders, it immediately attempted to soar into the sky and plunge into the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea.
Although the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea was filled with destructive power, Medicine Spirits, born and nurtured here, contained faint traces of the Ancient Monarch's laws, allowing them to effectively evade dangers and avoid capture by outside living beings.
But once spotted by Ye Chen, where was there any chance for the Medicine Spirit to leave? He directly cast a spell, sealing the heavens and locking the earth, isolating the entire area so that the Ginseng Fruit Medicine Spirit could not leave this star.
After all, no matter how much intelligence a Medicine Spirit developed, it ultimately possessed no powerful magical abilities; it only knew how to avoid great dangers, nothing more.
Whoosh—
Ye Chen leaped through the air and directly seized this Ginseng Fruit. The Ginseng Fruit immediately became terrified and dared not struggle further, sensing Ye Chen's peerless power and understanding the situation.
"Quite a clever Medicine Spirit," Ye Chen chuckled. His palm emitted wisps of primordial Chaos Qi, which immediately delighted the Ginseng Fruit Medicine Spirit. Compared to the endless Great Dao vital essence, primordial Chaos Qi held the greatest attraction for it.
"As long as you stay by my side, there will be endless primordial Chaos Qi for you to absorb every day," Ye Chen said.
The Medicine Spirit, possessing intelligence, actually nodded, and was then stored by Ye Chen within his internal space.
Naturally, Ye Chen did not let go of those seven ten-thousand-year medicine treasures, directly seizing them as well. They were also rare treasures not to be missed.
Afterward, he took the Nine-headed Great Serpent and turned, plunging into the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea and charging toward other stars.
Within the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea, stars floated one after another. There were ancient stars brimming with vitality, as well as lifeless, extinct stars. Any star that harbored vitality almost certainly contained Medicine Spirits, and they were almost all at least thirty thousand years old. Some even had Medicine Spirits with medicinal ages exceeding two hundred thousand years, which was beyond imagination.
Naturally, these Medicine Spirits also became treasures contested by various young prodigies.
The Fallen Monarch Divine Sea was not only extremely turbulent but also nurtured some extremely terrifying living beings. There were fearsome giant demons and monstrous creatures, as well as terrifying beings born from heaven and earth, entrenched within.
Some Medicine Spirits were guarded by these terrifying beings. Now, coveted by other outside living beings, many of the originally slumbering terrifying beings had awakened.
Among them, one terrifying existence after another emerged. Beam after beam of divine light that pierced the heavens blossomed within the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea. Each beam represented a Great Power-level existence, piercing through the vast firmament, shaking the Fallen Monarch Divine Sea, and being extremely fearsome.
Among them appeared giant demons with dragon blood, Great Power-level Tyrant Dragons, divine mountains that had gained sentience after being nurtured by heaven and earth, and some that were entire stars that had gained sentience and transformed into demons. Their terror was unimaginable, their auras shaking the entire vast Fallen Monarch Divine Sea, their immeasurable might surging to strike the heavens.
It was as if the entire Fallen Monarch Divine Sea had completely boiled over, stirring up layer upon layer of terrifying waves. The most fearsome giant demons and monstrous creatures had all emerged together.
Naturally, which among the Great Powers of the heavens were ordinary individuals? Those who could achieve the Great Power fruit were all existences that dominated and ruled over star domains, standing at the pinnacle of the great universe's pyramid. They simply had no fear.
They emerged one after another, and from the crowns of their heads bloomed divine light that shot into the sky. That was their Great Dao aura, further manifesting their Great Dao fruits. Like one Divine King after another descending to the mortal world, their auras were peerless, pressing down comprehensively toward the opposing side and exploding layer upon layer of terrifying waves.
