Boom—
Almost in the very next instant, the barrier that had been blocking his advancement between the Third Heaven and the Fourth Heaven was directly shattered by the vast divine energy. He instantly reached the Fourth Heaven, and his entire aura surged by a significant margin.
However, it was clearly not just that. The divine energy contained within the six Super Great Power elixirs was far too immense and vast, causing Ye Chen to not simply stop at the Fourth Heaven. The aura on his body continued to rise steadily, step by step.
It could be said that his cultivation was climbing almost every moment. The divine energy within his body surged and impacted through his limbs and bones, unlocking shackle after shackle within.
Ye Chen could feel that countless doors within his body seemed to be gradually opening, releasing his potential.
The Saint Vault realm was a major realm for unlocking the body's potential, where various potentials could be continuously awakened within this realm, such as the Heaven's Eye and others.
However, this did not mean that once past the Saint Vault realm, one could no longer awaken potential.
On the contrary, the stronger one became, the more powerful the potential that would be awakened, though these were mostly minor techniques, with few high-level secret arts appearing.
But at this moment, a particularly special door awakened within Ye Chen's body. A surge of potential was released, and a previously unknown divine ability appeared in his mind—the Slash Self to Illuminate Divinity Art!
A profound and mysterious divine ability that could slash heaven, slash earth, slash everything, and even slash oneself, its mysteries were boundless.
The profundity of this great Dao secret art was in no way inferior to some Sovereign secret arts created by Ancient Monarchs. It was worthy of Ye Chen's careful contemplation and could be put to use at critical moments.
However, Ye Chen had no time to contemplate it now, as the divine energy within his body was surging and his cultivation was continuously rising.
Soon, he stabilized his Fourth Heaven cultivation and was progressing towards the mid-stage of the Fourth Heaven.
It must be said that Ye Chen was too monstrous. As a Chaos Young Supreme, the divine energy required for each Heaven's advancement far exceeded that of his peers by countless times. Such vast divine energy would be enough to allow an early-stage Fourth Heaven Great Power to break through to the Fifth Heaven and beyond in a short time, even progressing towards the Sixth Heaven. Yet, it only brought him close to the mid-stage of the Fourth Heaven.
Precisely because of this, it was enough to prove Ye Chen's terrifying and immeasurable potential. The more this was the case, the stronger he was compared to ordinary peers at the same Heaven level.
Boom—
Finally, not long after, Ye Chen broke through another small barrier, reaching the mid-stage of the Fourth Heaven.
However, the divine energy from the six Super Great Power elixirs continued to elevate Ye Chen.
At the same time, the myriad strands of mysterious heavenly tribulation dawn light within his body that had been suppressing the Emperor's Curse transformed into a vast surge of divine energy, merging with it and circulating through his limbs and bones.
Boom—
In the end, Ye Chen successfully broke through to the late-stage of the Fourth Heaven, just a step away from the peak and not far from the Fifth Heaven.
At this moment, he also stopped at the late-stage of the Fourth Heaven of the Great Power realm.
If it were an ordinary peak Third Heaven Great Power, the six Super Great Power elixirs would probably be enough to allow a breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Seventh Heaven. Combined with the accumulated myriad strands of dawn light from the heavenly tribulation, there was even hope for the late-stage of the Seventh Heaven. Yet, it only allowed Ye Chen to advance to the late-stage of the Fourth Heaven.
However, this indirectly proved Ye Chen's heaven-defying monstrous nature. Moreover, at the late-stage of the Fourth Heaven, Ye Chen's combat power had increased by a significant margin compared to before.
It must be known that during his Second Heaven Great Power period, Ye Chen dared to battle a Seventh Heaven Super Great Power and even slew three Super Great Powers.
Although there were other factors involved, even including the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, it indirectly proved his invincibility. The emergence of his World Creation Universe even instantly killed a Super Great Power, which spoke volumes.
How powerful Ye Chen, now at the late-stage of the Fourth Heaven Great Power, was, even he himself did not know. But at the very least, he felt that his body was filled with boundless divine energy, and wanting to slay a Seventh Heaven Super Great Power would no longer be as difficult as it was back then.
This was Ye Chen's current terrifying aspect.
Rumble—
Ye Chen merely relaxed his muscles and bones, and immediately, thunderous roars resounded and spread. The heavens trembled, the myriad stars quivered, and thick, dark spatial cracks continuously spread out, spanning tens of thousands of miles in an instant.
It was as if this cosmic starry sky could not withstand his existence and was about to collapse.
The Divine Desolation Venerable One in the distant sky appeared even more terrified. Vaguely, he felt as if a mythical great evil that had been dormant for billions of years had completely emerged into the world, and nothing in the world could stop its emergence.
At this moment, the humanoid living being gave him a terrifying feeling that made his soul avatar almost collapse. He was almost trembling to the point of being unable to move.
He very much wanted to leave this place immediately, but for a short while, he found himself unable to move, suppressed by that astonishing pressure, unable to leave smoothly.
In other directions of the starry sky, within this cosmic borderland region, there were also several ancient life-bearing stars. Especially those powerful cultivators could fully sense the vast divine might emanating from the depths of the starry sky, spreading over like a tidal wave, causing the ancient stars to tremble and shake, as if the great Daos of the heavens were about to retreat.
This feeling was something even the Divine Desolation Venerable One, the number one figure of the borderlands, could not compare to.
Countless living beings on the ancient life-bearing stars were terrified, especially those who had initially opened the ancient coffin, who were filled with regret.
If not for their curiosity back then, they would not have opened the coffin, nor would they have provoked such a terrifying supreme existence.
However, there was clearly no medicine for regret in this world. They could only silently await the terrifying living being's move to shatter the heavens.
Ye Chen naturally had no knowledge of the thoughts of the countless living beings in the cosmic borderlands. Feeling the boundless and vast divine energy within his body, he smiled knowingly. He had finally improved once again.
Moreover, with the increase in cultivation, the suppression of his Dao injury became greater, and it would not easily reveal itself.
Unfortunately, it still existed. If possible in the future, he would definitely eliminate it as soon as possible. Otherwise, when breaking through a major realm, if the Dao injury flared up, it could very likely be fatal.
But there was no need to be overly anxious for now; he could take it slowly.
Afterward, he remembered the incomplete Emperor Body suppressed within the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin. This was something he had snatched from under the noses of several Ancient Monarchs and the many powers of the heavens only after nine deaths and one life, paying the heavy price of severe injuries and near-death for three years.
Moreover, it must be known that it was comparable to a true flawless Emperor Body. It was intended for Yuanchu Imperial Son Wanyan Bupo to inhabit and use to impact the Supreme Emperor position in the future. The Emperor Body even nurtured a portion of the Emperor's Sovereign Foundation, which was the true main foundation for establishing the Emperor-Sovereign domain. This was what made several Ancient Monarchs extremely tempted, even to the point of madness.
What he obtained was a section of the arm along with the hand, occupying at least one-seventh of the complete Emperor Body, similar to the Emperor-Sovereign origin he had obtained from Emperor Qinggu back then.
With one-seventh of the Emperor Body, one-seventh of the Emperor's Sovereign Foundation, and one-seventh of the Emperor-Sovereign origin, he had at least a one-seventh chance of achieving the Supreme Emperor position. He was inherently far ahead of others on the path of Emperor-Sovereign.
This was the most important treasure for him to establish his Emperor-Sovereign domain, indispensable.
Suddenly, Ye Chen's expression changed. Because during his escape back then, he had no time and placed the one-seventh incomplete Emperor Body within the sixth layer of the Reincarnation Coffin. However, the one-seventh Emperor-Sovereign origin obtained at that time was also placed within it.
Both were supreme treasures related to the Emperor, placed within the sixth layer of the Reincarnation Coffin for a full three years. Who knew what astonishing accident might have occurred.
At this moment, Ye Chen could not care that there was still a Divine Desolation Venerable One watching from the distant sky. He hurriedly took out the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin and opened the layers one by one. When he saw the bottommost sixth layer of the Reincarnation Coffin, for some reason, he felt a bit nervous.
"Open!"
With a light shout, Ye Chen opened the sixth layer of the Reincarnation Coffin. At the same time, a pressure that could be described as the most terrifying erupted from within, spreading through the starry sky, shaking space-time, accompanied by the emergence of intense Emperor's might.
Ye Chen's expression changed drastically. He gripped the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd to resist. However, the Divine Desolation Venerable One in the distant sky felt a mountain-like, sea-like immeasurably vast pressure rushing towards him, almost causing his form and spirit to crack. He immediately rushed as far away as possible, not daring to stay in this place for a moment, also feeling a sense of horror.
What existence was buried within that Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin? Why was there such a world-shaking, boundless pressure continuously radiating?
Ye Chen, holding the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, approached the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin. He saw that within the sixth layer of the Reincarnation Coffin, an incomparably brilliant light mass was floating, like a sun but far more dazzling by thousands of times, so bright that one could not keep their eyes open.
He was very cautious. The Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd quietly awakened to avoid any unnecessary accidents. But when he saw the object within the light mass, he was slightly stunned, because what he saw before him was actually a person.
Or perhaps more accurately, a boy, only three or four years old, curled up in a small body, exquisitely carved like jade, very spirited and cute.
Long black hair draped over his shoulders, his eyes closed, he was in a deep sleep, his eyelashes long and upturned. His small body was bare, bathed in the light mass, yet from his body emanated a terrifying heavenly might that would make even Ancient Monarchs wary and change expression, capable of easily collapsing the heavens.
If not for holding the awakened Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, Ye Chen would have found it difficult to approach.
Without a doubt, this little boy was an indescribably peerless existence, powerful enough to make Ancient Monarchs wary.
Ye Chen could fully feel the indescribably abundant power within the little boy's body. Probably, even with a mere raise of his hand, he could cause an entire star domain to completely collapse.
Even Ye Chen himself admitted he was no match for the little boy's single hand.
Who was he?
Why did he appear within the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin?
Although curious, Ye Chen's gaze still shifted, sweeping towards the sixth layer of the Reincarnation Coffin.
But the next moment, his face instantly turned pale!
The Emperor Body and the Emperor-Sovereign origin were gone!
