Rumble—
All manner of terrifying destructive forces surged over—there were Great Dao Immortal Flames, Supreme Yin Waters, world-destroying heavenly lightning, manifested Beast Kings, fearsome Immortal Ancient Weapons... all of them inundated Ye Chen at the center.
Ye Chen let out a long roar. His Chaos Saint Body was peerless and matchless, solid and immortal, hailed as the Indestructible Saint Body. Accompanied by Primordial Chaos Qi, it gave birth to one great world after another, rising and falling within.
Although this destructive power was strong, it ultimately could not compare to a true Great Power tribulation. It could injure him, but it was difficult to truly annihilate him. Ye Chen was unafraid.
Moreover, at the same time, he was contemplating a method to break through this barrier.
Primordial Chaos Qi flowed within his eyes. The Eyes of Heaven pierced through everything, allowing him to see that the light curtain belonged to a type of cyclic formation. Its power flowed in a cycle, almost never dissipating, able to circulate and endure for a long time.
Only the various Great Dao destructive forces within would deplete power, but the eighteen Insect Race Mother Queens could continuously devour heaven and earth, maintaining an equilibrium point. It was as if their power would never be lacking.
To wait until the power was completely exhausted might require waiting for these Insect Race Mother Queens to die of old age.
However, any being that reached the Great Power level had a lifespan of a hundred thousand years. Even if these Insect Race Mother Queens were already tens of thousands of years old, they still had tens of thousands of years left. In terms of lifespan, Ye Chen naturally had a longer lifespan than these Insect Race Mother Queens.
But he could not wait that many years.
His wife and child were still waiting for him ahead, and there was the not-so-distant ultimate battle of the blood-stained future.
No matter what, he had to break through this prison and leave this place in a short time.
Suddenly, Ye Chen thought of something, and the corner of his mouth slightly lifted.
Even if the power was cyclic, what if it stopped cycling?
He directly sat down cross-legged in the starry sky. Primordial Chaos Qi intertwined, and the Chaos Great Cauldron appeared, enveloping him within.
"The Chaos Great Cauldron has appeared. Does the Battle Saint King also know he cannot break through and needs to use his own Dao-attainment cauldron to resist?"
"What a pity. This is a peerless great cauldron with enough potential to grow into a Supreme Emperor Weapon. It's just that the Battle Saint King cannot possibly achieve that. He has been forced onto a dead end, needing to rely on the great cauldron to protect himself."
"The mighty and domineering Battle Saint King, could he really have reached the end of the road?"
Seeing the astonishingly brilliant Battle Saint King also reach this point, many people couldn't help but sigh with emotion. After all, the Battle Saint King's previous battle achievements were so glorious. Now, suppressed by eighteen Insect Race Mother Queens, he was helplessly forced to this step, making people feel a sense of regret for a genius about to die.
After all, such a Chaos young Supreme One possessed unparalleled potential to become an Overlord of the Ancient Path. Among the countless prodigies of the entire Chaos Sea, how many Overlords of the Ancient Path had appeared when added together?
They could be counted on one hand!
The Battle Saint King was not one yet, but he absolutely had such potential. As long as he continued to grow, it was an ironclad fact. But now he was about to be trapped and killed here. How could one not feel regret?
The Nine-headed Great Serpent and Abenue very much wanted to take action. Abenue could even summon countless Insect Race warriors to charge over.
But Ye Chen sent a voice transmission telling them not to come over, making them feel powerless.
They knew in their hearts that even if they took action, they wouldn't be of much help. Moreover, if they were also trapped inside, they would instead become a burden to their master.
However, what no one knew was that Ye Chen within the Chaos Great Cauldron, although using the great cauldron to block all attacks, was merely putting on a facade. Now, he was sitting cross-legged, his lower dantian glowing brilliantly, bright as a blazing sun, extremely dazzling and eye-catching.
Within it, a Chaos Small Universe appeared, hazy and indistinct, swirling with vast amounts of Primordial Chaos Qi. Of course, myriad strange phenomena were manifesting. One could even see countless shattered yet sand-like tiny miniature world heavens and earths. That scene was shocking.
That's right. This was Ye Chen's Chaos Small Universe, which had always been gestating and repairing within his body. Using the Monarch World Heart as the source point, it was completely integrated with his dantian. Within it, the World Tree Burial Coffin also swayed and shone, continuously repairing it. Moreover, the eight Divine Power Clones provided an endless stream of divine power for repair and perfection.
But at this point, the eight Divine Power Clones had all become much more illusory and faint. After all, they could not endure forever, lacking sufficient power to perfect it.
But wasn't this destructive formation the best method now?
For others, it was destructive power, but for him with the Chaos Saint Body, it was indeed the best source of power.
Rumble—
The thirty-six thousand pores on Ye Chen's body surface all transformed into tiny black holes. Through the Chaos Great Cauldron, they directly devoured vast amounts of destructive power.
What was Chaos?
The origin of all things, all Daos. All destructive power, after entering the Chaos Great Cauldron, was directly transformed into pure Chaos Power, forcibly devoured by Ye Chen. Vast Chaos Source Power was continuously transformed and poured into the Chaos Small Universe within his dantian.
The eight Divine Power Clones were the first to begin devouring. They formed eight origin power points, devouring large amounts of Chaos Source Power. Then, after their transformation, they spewed forth the eight great origin powers of earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, yin, and yang, pouring into the Chaos Small Universe and accelerating its repair speed.
A portion of the Chaos Source Power also poured into the central World Tree Burial Coffin, making it glow brilliantly and scatter vast amounts of world power, allowing the Chaos Small Universe to repair even faster, visibly repairing at a speed discernible to the naked eye.
Ye Chen's body was like a bottomless pit. His mind was completely immersed within. At this moment, he even hoped for more destructive power to attack.
However, he was also worried that the eighteen Insect Race Mother Queens would find out. Therefore, he gradually allowed the Chaos Great Cauldron to develop some cracks, so that people wouldn't be so suspicious.
If the eighteen Insect Race Mother Queens knew about this, they would probably be so frustrated they'd vomit blood.
They had painstakingly formed the formation, creating a prison just to trap the Battle Saint King and even trap and kill him here. They never expected it would become nourishment for the other party to repair his Chaos Small Universe.
Rumble—
The Chaos Great Cauldron was completely submerged. Even the great cauldron showed signs of cracking, making many people feel that the Battle Saint King was undoubtedly doomed to die. It also made Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan curl their lips into a cold smile.
Battle Saint King, weren't you very arrogant and powerful? Now that you're trapped, let's see how you escape, how you can avoid death.
"Truly worthy of being Big Brother, having these Insect Race Mother Queens take action is enough to trap the Battle Saint King." Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan both admired their big brother's foresight. It had always been like this; otherwise, how would he be qualified to be their leader?
"Big Brother, we need to seize the opportunity to take action and kill the Battle Saint King!"
Among them, Gong Xuan spoke up. He had always held great hatred, even killing intent, towards the Battle Saint King. He wished he could kill this monstrous Chaos young Supreme One.
However, Gong Shenxue's entire body was bathed in brilliant immortal radiance. He did not speak, but his entire person seemed increasingly unfathomable. There was an indescribable divine light flickering in his eyes; one didn't know what he was thinking.
"Big Brother!" Gong Xuan called out softly again. Yet Gong Shenxue remained silent, always watching the trapped Ye Chen, puzzling the others.
Why continue watching like this? The Battle Saint King was destined to be annihilated; it was impossible for him to escape.
Gong Nanshan, however, spoke up: "Third Brother, don't disturb Big Brother. Moreover, we don't need to take action. These Insect Race Mother Queens will also kill the Battle Saint King. But now is the time to seize the opportunity to take his Insect Race Mother Queen. This Insect Race Mother Queen is extraordinary. I see it resembles a True Dragon, with Dragon Source within its body, different from the rest. It seems only slightly inferior to a pure-blooded True Dragon. Perhaps it has a chance to grow to the level of a pure-blooded True Dragon."
Hearing this, Gong Xuan also nodded, his eyes blazing with fervent light. Abenue's form resembled a True Dragon, its entire body golden and brilliant, carrying a sacred aura, completely different from the ugly bodies of ordinary Insect Race Mother Queens. Perhaps it really could undergo a transformation into a pure-blooded True Dragon.
The True Dragon was one of the supreme beings of the Chaos Sea. At its peak, it would at least be at the level of an Ancient Monarch, and could even become an Emperor.
Such a True Dragon was undeniably of great significance.
"Let's take action!"
Seeing that Gong Shenxue neither approved nor opposed, the two Minor Overlords of the Ancient Path shot towards Abenue and the Nine-headed Great Serpent with a whoosh, drawing the attention of many.
Boom! Boom!
The two Minor Overlords of the Ancient Path descended, their powerful auras spreading out overwhelmingly.
"What do you want?"
The Nine-headed Great Serpent and Abenue both became grave.
"Submit to us!"
Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan were simple and direct, applying pressure.
This made the other prodigies of the Ancient Path all shake their heads and sigh.
The Battle Saint King was trapped, and the situation immediately took a turn for the worse. His subordinates were directly targeted by Minor Overlords of the Ancient Path, completely unlike the situation a few days ago when they needed to apologize and make amends.
"Impossible!" The Nine-headed Great Serpent directly refused, especially since it had grievances with Gong Xuan. Abenue also looked at them coldly.
Although it had submitted to Ye Chen, that was because Ye Chen's strength made it submit and bestowed upon it the power of evolution. As for Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan, although they were powerful, they had not reached a level of strength sufficient to make it submit.
"You dare to act like this? Aren't you afraid our master will take action against you? That's not something that can be settled with a simple apology." Nine Snakes was very direct, bringing up the events of a few days ago.
However, mentioning this matter made Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan's faces darken, very black. This was their stain.
Powerful as they were, they had been invincible throughout their lives. Even after stepping onto the Ultimate Ancient Path, it was the same. They had always swept through everything, even having slain young Supreme Ones before, establishing illustrious fame. They were even revered as Minor Overlords of the Ancient Path. Behind their success were piles of bones, forging their glorious reputation.
Yet, only before the Battle Saint King had they suffered a great loss and even apologized. This was a tremendous humiliation, difficult for them to forget.
If they did not kill the Battle Saint King for a day, it would be engraved in their hearts for a day, affecting their Dao hearts.
"The Battle Saint King? With him like this, he can't even protect himself now. How can he save the two of you? He only has a dead end ahead. And when have you ever had the right to refuse!" Among them, Gong Xuan snorted coldly, looking down from above, and directly took action, attacking the Nine-headed Great Serpent and Abenue.
