Ye Chen charged out, traversing the vast sky, engaging in battle with these Insect Race Mother Queens, clashing with Great Power-level physical bodies. The battle was incredibly intense.
Undoubtedly, even for someone as powerful as Ye Chen, this was a rather difficult battle, and its scope was extremely vast, with the entire star domain serving as the battlefield.
One Insect Race Mother Queen after another stood imposingly in the void, continuously dispatching countless Insect Warriors, while also unleashing their own divine soul attacks.
The physical bodies of these Insect Race Mother Queens were not very strong; on the contrary, they were somewhat fragile. However, their divine souls were exceptionally powerful, having taken a path opposite to their physical forms. They continuously erupted with terrifying beams of light, blasting through the sky, aimed at Ye Chen.
But who was Ye Chen? He was a Chaos Great Power of his generation. Both his physical body and divine soul had reached the pinnacle, far surpassing ordinary Great Powers by many times. Moreover, protected by the Chaos Great Cauldron, he roamed the starry sky, confronting the twenty-six Great Power-level figures, requiring no assistance from anyone.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Vast, boundless golden chaos blood energy erupted, deep as an abyss and vast as the sea, as if a million volcanoes had exploded. The blood energy flooded half the star domain, terrifying beyond imagination.
Within it, Ye Chen was like a Chaos Heavenly Emperor opening up an ancient universe, standing atop the cauldron, roaming the starry sky, fighting across all directions, fiercely battling the Insect Race Mother Queens, forcefully confronting the Star Nests, dueling nine Great Power-level physical bodies, and resisting one Great Power-level world-destroying light after another.
A pack of tigers devouring a dragon?
No, this was a dragon devouring a pack of tigers—a crushing domination!
Blood energy surged, worlds were born, a golden great path manifested. Furthermore, the Five Elements Great World and the Four Extremities Connecting to Sainthood technique appeared. With one hand, he controlled the Chaos Great Cauldron; with the other, he manifested a Great Dao Treasure Vase, combining offense and defense, actively attacking and slaughtering in all directions.
Moreover, from the crown of his true body's head, one stream of chaos light after another shot out, evolving chaos dao techniques. Myriad Daos manifested. Even true dragons, immortal phoenixes, Kun Pengs, Zhu Yans, and the supreme emperor weapons belonging to the Sealed World Universe throughout the ages were all manifested by him. These were insights gained from heavenly tribulations, expressed through unparalleled dao techniques.
Most importantly, on the Chaos Great Cauldron, one Imprint after another bloomed with Immeasurable Light. These were all supreme experts who had been slain in the past—some Great Powers, some young generation's supreme ones—vividly lifelike. At this moment, hazy figures seemed to emanate from them.
Though hazy, though faint, a powerful aura circulated within them, as if the battle souls of the past had revived and returned, possessing supreme combat power.
As Ye Chen's cultivation grew higher, the Chaos Great Cauldron became increasingly sentient, possessing an indestructible divine nature. The Imprints of the past had revived.
Perhaps at some future stage, all the Imprints would be truly restored, and they would also improve alongside the enhancement of Ye Chen's cultivation.
That would be the true great terror. Right now, it was merely the initial stage.
This sight caused all the Insect Race Mother Queens to be horrified. This was simply not just one person, not dual venerables, but a group of invincible beings descending.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ye Chen led a group of supreme experts in a charge, plunging into the midst of the Insect Race Mother Queens. It was not one against twenty-six, but a group slaughter confronting another group slaughter.
Even though these supreme experts were faint and hazy, unable to last long, they could greatly delay the enemy's actions, allowing Ye Chen to concentrate more of his combat power on dueling and breaking them down one by one.
The battle had long since entered a white-hot stage. Ye Chen roamed the starry sky, holding the Chaos Great Cauldron aloft, wielding his Indestructible Saint Fist, forming hand seals and techniques, unleashing one peerless divine ability after another. He shattered one Star Nest after another, pulverized Great Power-level physical bodies. Blood-stained sky light flooded this star domain—an unprecedented great battle.
Half a day later, Ye Chen confronted three Star Nests. He unleashed the three great Combat Saint Techniques: Heaven-Shaking Hand, Heaven-Severing Finger, and Heaven-Suppressing Seal. Vast Combat Saint divine might suppressed the starry sky, annihilating the firmament, directly shattering them.
Moreover, between his brows bloomed Immeasurable Light. From within, a Chaos Saint Soul figure, holding the unawakened Desolate Heaven Great Halberd, soared into the sky. Clad in an Immortal Divine Soul Battle Armor, with a whoosh that seemed to reverse the River of Time, it pierced through the divine souls of three Insect Race Mother Queens one after another, skewering them on the great halberd.
Thus, Ye Chen completely and invincibly cleared the trial, leaving all other ancient path trial-takers dumbfounded and filled with awe.
At the same time, many ancient path Heaven's Prides sighed silently. They were all trial-takers walking the Ultimate Ancient Path, aiming to reach the final gate, tempering themselves to truly tread the Emperor's Path and ultimately become Emperor or Sovereign.
But now, facing the Combat Saint King, the Chaos young generation's supreme one, they immediately felt an immense gap. This gap was so vast it was unparalleled, like the difference between heaven and earth.
The other party was an immortal divine mountain towering on the Ultimate Ancient Path. Even if they spent their entire lives, they might find it difficult to cross, filling them with a sense of despair.
Ye Chen paid no heed to these ancient path Heaven's Prides. He threw the physical bodies of the last three slain Insect Race Mother Queens before Abenue.
At this moment, Abenue had once again fallen into slumber. Having devoured the forms and spirits of eighteen Great Power-level Insect Race Mother Queens, it was digesting them. The digestion time would clearly be very long, as it had already formed a cocoon, continuously emanating a powerful aura, making the Nine-Headed Serpent by its side quite envious.
Insect Race Mother Queens were born with the capital for continuous evolution—the best shortcut to becoming stronger.
Especially Abenue, being a variant Insect Race Mother Queen possessing dragon origin, was even more so.
At this time, Ye Chen waved his large hand, gathering the many scattered fragments of the Star Nests from the starry sky.
These were nests formed by each Insect Race Mother Queen through tens of thousands of years of continuous reinforcement and management. If not for encountering the sufficiently monstrous Ye Chen, even facing a sixth-layer Heaven Ascension Great Power, it would be difficult to shatter such Star Nests in a short time.
Naturally, the materials of these Star Nests were extraordinary enough, all refined from rare divine materials. Over the long years, they had continuously received countless Great Dao talismans infused by the Insect Race Mother Queens, strengthening them, making them increasingly indestructible. They were essentially equivalent to an immortal ancient weapon.
Now, Abenue was also about to evolve and needed a nest to cultivate Insect Warriors. To create another one would require who knows how many years.
But with so many ready-made materials available, a sufficiently large and stable nest could be manufactured.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately, Ye Chen was in no hurry to clear the trial and leave. He gathered all the Star Nest fragments, then opened his mouth and spat out Chaos Dao Fire, refining and re-forging these Star Nest fragments.
Three days and three nights later, a Star Nest appeared, larger than any previous one. It was the refined fusion of eighteen Star Nests. The Chaos Dao Fire extracted their essence and discarded the dross. A full one-third of the raw materials were burned to ash. The remaining Star Nest was still over ten thousand miles in colossal size. Ye Chen even imprinted numerous Great Dao talismans and profound formations upon it.
Do not forget, Ye Chen also possessed profound attainments in the field of formations. Moreover, he infused it with his Chaos Ancient Qi. He believed that even if a seventh-layer Heaven Ascension super Great Power arrived, they would find this Star Nest's stability an immense headache.
After a long while, Ye Chen placed the light cocoon into the Star Nest. Then, he opened his internal space and even opened his internal Chaos Small Universe.
Although the Chaos Small Universe was not yet perfected, it was sufficient to open up a world. A tiny world the size of a thumb, yet one grain of sand contained a universe—it was very vast. He placed the Star Nest inside.
After completing all this, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Probably before long, Abenue would be able to truly emerge. By then, it would also be able to truly assist him.
Setting out on the journey once more, he found an altar in the trial starry sky—a teleportation altar. Activated by Ye Chen, he brought the Nine-Headed Serpent along and once again embarked on the journey.
