Ye Chen drew a deep, long breath, his gaze firming as he stared at the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body before him. The space between his brows split open, and two slightly illusory Chaos Saint Soul Little Persons walked out, merging into a single Chaos Saint Soul Little Person.
Boom—
The fused Chaos Saint Soul Little Person was even more solid and powerful than before it had split, its overall strength rising by two whole levels, far surpassing the divine soul of a Super Great Power. Now wielding the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, it charged toward the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
This time, he decided to go all out, using his strongest form to achieve success in mastering the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
The Chaos Saint Soul Little Person vanished in the blink of an eye into the deepest part of the Mud Pill Palace of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Simultaneously, the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin closed heavily once more, forming the final barrier.
Whoosh—
The combined Chaos Saint Soul Little Person, holding the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, arrived within the Mud Pill Palace space of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. It was vast and empty, yet an indescribably immense pressure constantly surged forth, pressing down, describing it.
If one was not strong enough, it would be impossible to master this flawless Emperor body.
"Senior, I request your protection on this path!" Ye Chen spoke to the deity of the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, rousing it from its slumber.
"Little friend, I will help you this time, but you must understand the cycle of causality. To gain, one must pay a price," the Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit spoke. After Ye Chen's explanation, it quickly understood the existence of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, sighing at its talent. For this most promising descendant of the Battle Saint lineage, it also held great regard and was willing to protect him on this path.
Naturally, requesting its protection required paying a corresponding price. This was the rule of causality, unchangeable.
Ye Chen naturally understood. For this protection, he would have to pay a corresponding price to the Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit in the future.
"Understood. Please act, Senior!" the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person shouted loudly.
"Good!"
The Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd fiercely erupted with a pressure even greater than that of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, suppressing all the pressure radiating within the Mud Pill Palace space of the reincarnation body and forcing it out of this Mud Pill Palace space.
Its voice rang out: "Little friend, if you wish to completely master this Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and refine it into your external incarnation, the best method is to rely on yourself to break through the barrier of the Mud Pill Palace space. From here, use your divine soul to permeate the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, achieving the union of spirit and flesh. Only then can you achieve true perfection."
"This junior understands!" Ye Chen responded.
Boom—
The Chaos Saint Soul Little Person drew another deep, long breath, then its entire body suddenly swelled violently. Vast divine soul power spread out, flooding toward every corner of the Mud Pill Palace, seeking to break out of it and completely master the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
However, such powerful divine soul power, even several times stronger than that of a Super Great Power—enough to burst the Mud Pill Palace of an ordinary Great Power—when fully unleashed, still could not find the end of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's Mud Pill Palace space.
All of this was because the Mud Pill Palace space of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was too vast, making one suspect it contained an entire universe—boundless and endless, yet so empty and hollow, without a trace of spiritual presence.
No matter how powerful Ye Chen's divine soul power was, it could not completely fill this Mud Pill Palace space of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
Yet Ye Chen did not give up. His divine soul power continuously released, continuously spread, continuously thinned.
But soon, a different kind of despair arose within him, because the Mud Pill Palace space was too large, infinitely vast. His Chaos Saint Soul power surged in all directions but never found an edge.
And soon, it sank into an eternal darkness.
Here, there was nothing but emptiness. No life, no sound, no objects—only a void of darkness, silent and still, more unsettling than the endless cosmic void.
"No good. This space is too large. Even expanding my divine soul power isn't enough to find its end. I can only seek a single point for a breakthrough."
Soon, all of Ye Chen's divine soul power condensed back into the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person, the same size as him, identical in appearance, both possessing an otherworldly Emperor's bearing, its entire body swirling with chaotic light. It shot toward a certain direction at an astonishing speed.
He would attempt a breakthrough from one direction. He did not believe the Mud Pill Palace space of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was truly infinite; it must have its own end.
Once he found the end of the Mud Pill Palace and broke through, he could fundamentally master this Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
On the other side, the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd remained at the center of the Mud Pill Palace. Its deity manifested, gazing distantly in the direction Ye Chen had left, and sighed softly: "This place is also a kind of trial for you. If you pass this trial, your gains will far outweigh what you pay. But I hope you can hold fast to your heart and not fall into this eternal darkness..."
In the pitch-black, endless Mud Pill Palace space, the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person sped swiftly, advancing at an astonishing speed, streaking through the dark void toward the extremely distant end.
Yet this place was boundless. Even though the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person's speed reached its limit, easily crossing star domains, it still could not see the end of the Mud Pill Palace.
Ye Chen was not anxious, however. He kept advancing, continuing to explore for the end...
In the mountains, there is no reckoning of time; years pass unknown.
One day, two days, three days...
One month, two months, three months...
One year, two years, three years...
In the pitch-black, endless Mud Pill Palace space, completely unaware of the passage of time, the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person kept advancing.
The Little Person became the only point of light in this endless dark space. Only where it passed could it illuminate the surroundings.
Yet the Mud Pill Palace space was truly, immensely vast, beyond description.
From initially advancing at extreme speed, gradually, the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person's speed also stabilized, still at an extreme immortal speed, continuously advancing, but the inner pursuit grew lonely.
Because Ye Chen felt that in this lifetime, he might never truly explore to the end of the Mud Pill Palace. It was too large, and he didn't know how many years it would take to reach the end.
It seemed like a hundred years, a thousand years... yet he still could not see the end.
Everything before his eyes, besides darkness, was only darkness.
"Am I to be completely lost in this eternal, endless darkness?"
The Chaos Saint Soul Little Person murmured to itself, a hint of confusion in its eyes. Even with peerless, matchless power, it could not be deployed.
"No, I cannot lose myself. If I sink completely, I will never be able to turn things around."
Soon, the Little Person's eyes grew firm, and it whispered softly: "There is no eternal endlessness, only eternal darkness in the heart. Since this place is boundless, this place is lonely, and time is disordered, I shall cultivate while heading toward the end."
Boom—
The Chaos Saint Soul Little Person's entire body suddenly blazed with light. Chaos ancient qi circulated, and one after another, great Dao talismans emerged. Around it, holy spirits appeared, and great worlds manifested.
Divine lotuses bloomed, divine springs gushed forth, immortal light shimmered brilliantly...
Various Phenomena appeared before it as the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person chanted the chaos scriptures, manifesting all sorts of Phenomena that encircled it, steadfastly charging toward the farthest end of the endless darkness.
Moreover, Ye Chen's spirit was clear and bright. Seeing this endless darkness, he suddenly seemed thoughtful, feeling that his cultivation had room to rise once more...
