Boom—
Ye Chen acted with extreme decisiveness, immediately summoning the Chaos Great Cauldron. He began to evolve Chaos, shattering the myriad Daos to block and contend with his own Great Power-level heavenly tribulation.
The tribulation light was boundless, seemingly endless, enough to pulverize everything. It felt as if this very heaven and earth were about to be completely pierced through.
Boom—
The nine Heaven's Avatars transformed from guardians into the most fearsome enemies. Each was an Emperor's Son-level adversary of the same realm, none inferior to Ye Chen by much. They were "Heaven," entities not weaker than an Emperor. Their attack was something even the most terrifying and monstrous existence could not withstand.
The Chaos Great Cauldron exploded, countless fragments scattering, carrying wisps of primordial Chaos Qi. The Chaos dissipated, and the attacks of the nine Heaven's Avatars struck Ye Chen in full force.
Blood light surged. Even with his Chaos Saint Body, Ye Chen was smashed to pieces, utterly unable to withstand it.
However, he quickly reassembled, emerging whole and unscathed. At this moment, he threw out the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin, opening four layers in succession. Eight Divine Power Clones descended from within, each radiating a Dao aura not much weaker than his Original Body, storing the most terrifying Chaos divine power.
The final two layers remained unopened, for they contained the Emperor's origin.
The appearance of the eight Divine Power Clones—mere divine power clones, not Dao bodies like the Chaos Supreme Body—was difficult for Ye Chen to control. Yet at this moment, all eight clones began to burn fiercely, erupting with billions of zhang of radiance. The light emitted by each clone was different.
The first clone transformed entirely into a figure of fire, its flames blazing and composed of genuine Great Dao runes, terrifying and eye-catching, as if about to incinerate the heavens.
The second Divine Power Clone transformed into an energy mass swirling with azure-blue light, containing boundless water origin, including Supreme Yin Water, nurturing life force...
The eight Divine Power Clones each transformed into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, Yin, and Yang. Each clone possessed a different Great Dao attribute, standing in eight directions, corresponding to the eight trigrams.
Ye Chen's Original Body sat cross-legged in the center, the Chaos Great Cauldron suspended in the air, vaguely connected to the other eight Divine Power Clones. Boundless Chaos surged between them.
"Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, Yin, Yang... Could it be that Battle Saint King is trying to—"
Even the Ancient Monarchs were shocked, for they had lived long enough and knew enough to vaguely guess Ye Chen's intentions. It was precisely this that made them especially astonished.
If it succeeded, Battle Saint King would truly be defying heaven.
"Success or failure hinges on this one move!"
Ye Chen looked at the eight Divine Power Clones, then abruptly released all his defenses, allowing the eight clones to charge into him and begin merging.
Boom—
The most terrifying Great Dao divine might erupted, instantly spreading across the six directions and eight wastelands. Even the nine Heaven's Avatars preparing to attack were violently blasted away, unable to approach.
All the tribulation light and thunder seas in this heaven and earth, including those Saint Spirit Tribulations and Emperor Weapon Tribulations, were utterly annihilated!
In the distant sky, everyone sensed an unprecedented, most terrifying aura emanating from Battle Saint King at this moment, surpassing everything, even giving the Ancient Monarchs a faint sense of danger.
Clearly, Battle Saint King was undergoing a shocking, heaven-defying transformation. Once successful, he would likely truly defy heaven, reaching an unprecedented realm.
Boom—
But Battle Saint King did not truly merge into one. At this very moment, his entire body exploded, smashed to pieces. Flesh, blood, and white bone splattered into every corner, scattering in all directions.
Everyone sighed inwardly. An Ancient Monarch couldn't help but say, "Although Battle Saint King is monstrous, he was arrogant. That method was too heaven-defying; heaven and earth would not permit it. Moreover, no matter how monstrous he is, he could not possibly accomplish it, for it is simply impossible."
The other powerhouses were also shocked, filled with deep confusion and curiosity about what Battle Saint King was trying to do, why he was smashed to pieces so violently, even more explosively than in the Dan Ruins Ancient World.
"I am immortal, destined for eternity. Who can destroy me!"
Ye Chen's calm voice resounded through the void, accompanied by a terrifying, great majesty. Immediately, all the flesh, blood, and bones reassembled once more. His form reunited, though not in human shape, but as a sphere.
It was not large, only about ten zhang in diameter. Yet, within this sphere, everyone clearly saw astonishing scenes manifesting.
Chaos was creating heaven and earth, but not merely creating a world—it was creating an Ancient Universe.
For they could distinctly see one world after another appearing within the small universe. Each was tiny, like a flicker, or even smaller, yet also vast. The powerhouses clearly saw that within these minute, almost microscopic worlds, suns, moons, mountains, and rivers were rumbling into existence, evolving from Chaos.
They also saw the myriad heavenly stars continuously emerging, shimmering with starlight.
A powerful mass of primordial Chaos Qi rose from within, transforming into a blazing sun that illuminated each microscopic world, dispelling the darkness...
Heaven and earth overturned, Chaos unfolded. Everything underwent astonishing changes. Heaven and Earth Creation manifested with a rumble.
The embryonic form of a Chaos Ancient Universe thus manifested, astonishing countless people present.
What a world-shaking method this was! Especially considering this was merely a junior at the peak of the Heavenly King realm. To have evolved this... even those Ancient Monarchs were utterly shocked.
Even an Emperor or Supreme Immortal would be the same.
What is a universe? The highest-level world in the Chaos Sea, far surpassing all else. Only the Chaos Sea can give birth to one, or perhaps a supreme Emperor or Supreme Immortal. Otherwise, not even an Ancient Monarch could evolve a Chaos Ancient Universe, for it transcends the Heavenly Dao; heaven and earth do not permit it.
Yet at this moment, Battle Saint King had forcefully evolved one. Even if it was only the most initial, roughest embryonic universe, it still surpassed everything.
"What a Battle Saint King! What a Chaos Young Supreme! Truly extraordinary beyond compare, to have achieved this step. What would be impossible for him in the future?"
An Ancient Monarch spoke thus, with heartfelt admiration and an acknowledgment of inferiority.
Only a legendary Chaos cultivator, practicing the supreme Chaos Great Dao, could possibly achieve this step. Anyone else would be incapable of such a feat.
