Many people couldn't help but swallow nervously, wondering how the Battle Saint King was faring now. Being dragged into a self-detonation by a peak Great Power, it was likely that even he couldn't escape the fate of falling.
It was a pity for a generation's most monstrous supreme Heaven's Pride, the Battle Saint King—the successor of the Battle Saint lineage, a Chaos young Supreme One. So monstrously peerless, so peerlessly brilliant, he should have had a glorious future. But now, he couldn't escape the fate of falling, strangled in the cradle of his growth.
Many secretly sighed, lamenting the Battle Saint King. How long had it been since he achieved the Great Power realm? Once he succeeded, he ultimately met with a scene of falling. It had to be said this was joy turning to sorrow, a regretful matter. And because he was a meritorious hero, it made people feel sorrowful!
"Battle Saint King—"
Several Ancient Monarchs felt guilty in their hearts because they hadn't been able to act in time to stop this from happening.
After all, no matter how one put it, the Battle Saint King was a meritorious hero for the entire Ancient Universe and, to some extent, their savior.
"No need to panic. Perhaps the Battle Saint King hasn't fallen yet."
Someone spoke up, but more people shook their heads in unison. Under the self-detonation of such a peak Great Power, not to mention the Battle Saint King who had just stepped into the Great Power realm, even another peak Great Power would undoubtedly die. Even an Ancient Monarch facing it would be injured—how could there be any chance of survival?
Although he possessed a supreme Emperor weapon like the Primordial Battle Halberd, it might not truly be able to protect him.
Boom—
The endless destructive light and flames slowly spread out. No matter how powerful a strong person's self-detonation was, it would eventually dissipate, revealing the destroyed void.
Within, there was nothing. Even the Heavenly Mighty Figures swept their astonishing divine senses across it but didn't sense the Battle Saint King's aura. They sighed lightly—it seemed the Battle Saint King had truly and completely fallen, turned to ashes.
A dignified generation's Chaos young Supreme One, the most monstrous Emperor's son-level Heaven's Pride, had fallen just like this.
Although they had already guessed it, witnessing this scene still made many people feel regretful.
However, the several Ancient Monarchs frowned. Even if Qin Jiuyou's self-detonation was intense, it shouldn't have been able to annihilate the Primordial Battle Halberd.
There was only one possibility—
The Battle Saint King wasn't dead yet!
Crack—
Sure enough, at this moment, the void was torn open. From within, a slender figure walked out. His divine armor was shattered, revealing his robust, slender upper body.
His bronze-colored physique seemed so immortal, his disheveled black hair stained with dripping blood. Though covered in blood, his entire person still carried an immortal Emperor's bearing that dominated the All Heavens, capable of standing tall and surveying the myriad realms. In his hand, he held the Primordial Battle Halberd, striding out grandly, stepping on the void, leaving one crimson footprint after another.
Everyone sucked in a cold breath—it was truly the Battle Saint King! Facing Qin Jiuyou's self-detonation, he actually hadn't fallen. It was truly a miracle, unbelievable.
However, the current Ye Chen had suffered terrifying injuries. There were severe wounds within his body, stagnant blood on his person, and his aura had dropped significantly. He had no choice but to sit cross-legged in the void to stabilize his figure.
Whoosh— Whoosh—
Whoosh— ...
The several Ancient Monarchs rushed over first, followed by the other Heavenly Mighty Figures crossing the sky to descend, surrounding the central Battle Saint King.
The Dan Emperor Clan's Ancient Monarch was also an alchemy master. His eyes shone with divine brilliance, directly trying to see through Ye Chen to understand his injuries. However, Ye Chen's body was intertwined with surging Chaos ancient energy, completely blocking all probing attempts, leaving the Ancient Monarch helpless—after all, he couldn't forcibly probe with divine sense.
The Dan Emperor Clan Ancient Monarch wanted to understand but frowned. Clearly, the Battle Saint King also didn't want others to know his internal condition. He immediately took out a jade vial and offered it, saying softly, "Saint King little friend, this is the Nine Revolutions Heart-Returning Pill refined personally by this old man. It's an eighth-rank high-grade divine pill that can greatly heal injuries. If you don't mind, little friend, you can take it."
Hearing this, countless Great Powers shot fiery gazes at this jade vial, their eyes gleaming.
An eighth-rank divine pill—that was a divine pill even Heavenly Mighty Figures would covet, let alone an eighth-rank high-grade one. Yet the Dan Emperor Clan's Ancient Monarch offered it just like that. How extravagantly wealthy he must be! Truly worthy of being a generation's Ancient Monarch, and an Ancient Monarch of the Dan Emperor Clan at that.
Naturally, it was also because Ye Chen was a great meritorious hero that he offered it.
Hearing this, Ye Chen also opened his eyes. Currently, his injuries were severe. He took the pill but remained vigilant, quickly sweeping his divine sense over it several times. Only after confirming there were no issues did he swallow it.
Regarding this, the Dan Emperor Clan Monarch showed no resentment—it was basic common sense, and no one would blame him.
The moment the Nine Revolutions Heart-Returning Pill entered his body, it directly transformed into a rich, vast Dao divine energy. Though immense and boundless, the medicinal effects were surprisingly gentle and mild, filling Ye Chen's limbs and bones. Moreover, it carried a special effect, beginning to repair the damaged meridians throughout his body.
Although Ye Chen could use his Saint Body Regeneration Technique to instantly recover completely, such recovery came at a cost—consuming his origin.
But the Nine Revolutions Heart-Returning Pill could not only heal injuries but also resolve some hidden internal flaws, allowing for the most perfect recovery. This was the true extraordinary aspect of the eighth-rank high-grade divine pill, the Nine Revolutions Heart-Returning Pill.
Boom—
Visible to the naked eye, the injuries within Ye Chen's body were recovering at an astonishing speed, both externally and internally. Moreover, the gentle medicinal energy surged forth, enveloping Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Soul, which had also suffered terrifying injuries.
Especially the divine soul—once injured, it was far more troublesome than physical injuries. Fortunately, the Nine Revolutions Heart-Returning Pill was sufficient to heal all injuries, including the divine soul.
All Dao injuries quickly recovered. In just a short while, though Ye Chen's entire body was still stained with blood, his injuries were completely healed. Moreover, his physique radiated auspicious light, inch by inch glowing, surging Dao aura once again surged out, much stronger than before.
Finally, Ye Chen completely recovered. He also took two Great Power Pills, dissolving a large amount of power to replenish himself. His essence, energy, and spirit simultaneously climbed to their peak.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Ye Chen cupped his fists in gratitude.
"No need. This is only right. Saint King little friend sacrificed himself for righteousness, stopping the five alien Emperors from crossing realms. It's equivalent to saving all of us. We should be thanking you." The Dan Emperor Clan Monarch spoke and sincerely expressed gratitude. The other Ancient Monarchs also thanked him, not feeling awkward in the slightest.
Seeing the several Monarchs expressing gratitude, everyone else bowed in thanks, performing salutes of gratitude.
Empress's Daughter also nodded distantly in acknowledgment.
Regarding this, Ye Chen accepted it with a clear conscience. Although there were some personal motives involved, no matter how one put it, he had truly saved the entire Ancient Universe and deserved these people's gratitude.
"Cough—"
Suddenly, Ye Chen's vision went dark. His figure swayed, and before he could even stand up, he nearly tumbled down from mid-air, startling everyone.
