"Seeking death!"
Before Ye Chen could even act, Abenue by his side had already made her move.
With a single sword-finger thrust, she directly pierced through the Mud Pill Palace between the eyebrows of this third-heaven Great Power, annihilating the burning divine soul little person along with it. The body plummeted from the heavens, leaving behind only a soulless corpse.
"A pity. The divine soul is split in two, with one part still within the Great Emperor's reincarnation body. Otherwise, it wouldn't be this difficult," Ye Chen sighed inwardly.
He knew that originally, after using the Soul-splitting Pill to split his divine soul and then recombine it, its power would have far surpassed that of many Super Great Powers. He even suspected it wouldn't be inferior to the divine soul strength of a ninth-heaven Great Power.
But now, with only half and a cracked divine soul, its solidity hadn't even reached the level before using the Soul-splitting Pill. At best, it could only rival a Super Great Power. Trying to simultaneously enslave five Great Powers in one go was somewhat challenging.
Nevertheless, it was still a Great Power-level body. Ye Chen had Abenue store it away to be refined into a Great Power-level puppet, just like the eighteen Insect Race Mother Kings from before, all of whom had been refined into Great Power-level puppets.
The other four Great Powers, feeling the sorrow of the fox for the death of the hare, all wanted to ignite their divine soul little persons and self-destruct, preferring death over being enslaved by the other party.
After all, they were all Great Powers, figures who could dominate a star domain and establish ancient legacies of ten thousand generations. How could they be willing to end up in such a miserable state of enslavement? They would rather die than submit.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, their bodies erupted with blazing light as they charged toward Ye Chen, seeking to self-destruct.
"Your will is commendable, but your strength is somewhat lacking."
Ye Chen spoke indifferently. From between his eyebrows, the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person emerged. With a whoosh, it broke through the norms of reality, as if reversing time and space, and directly entered the Mud Pill Palace of one Great Power. Upon seeing the burning divine soul little person, it suddenly grew enormous, opened its mouth wide, and directly swallowed the divine soul little person.
Without stopping, it rushed out from this Great Power's Mud Pill Palace and descended into the Mud Pill Palace of a second Great Power, similarly and directly swallowing it with force and dominance. It didn't stop even as the other's divine soul little person burned intensely, stunning everyone present.
It was known that once a divine soul little person began to self-ignite, it was akin to embarking on the path of Dao dissolution. If one were contaminated by that self-igniting soul fire, it could easily cause one's own soul to ignite as well, with unimaginable consequences.
Yet, even after swallowing two burning divine soul little persons in a row, the Battle Saint King's Chaos Saint Soul Little Person remained completely unharmed. It then approached a third Great Power but did not swallow it again. Instead, surrounded by chaotic light, it summoned a Chaos Great Cauldron. Accompanied by boundless ancient chaos qi, it suppressed downwards, forcibly extinguishing the burning Dao Fire and sealing this divine soul little person.
Finally, with a whoosh, the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person returned to Ye Chen's main body. Looking at the Great Power from the Jiuyan Imperial Clan not far away, he did not employ the previous method. Instead, he gave the Jiuyan Imperial Clan Great Power a cold glance, stepped out, and arrived outside the light barrier. Facing the opponent whose body was also burning, he opened his mouth wide and roared: "ROAR—"
A roar that shook the star domain!
An unparalleled roar exploded. Apart from the Flying God Star protected by the light barrier, the other several stars in this star domain were shaken until they exploded, utterly annihilated from the world.
A great collapse of the starry sky!
One roar to extinguish a Great Power!
Behind him, Abenue was dumbfounded. The sole Saint of the Flying God Star was also watching, dumbfounded, with an expression of utter disbelief.
With that, everything had ended, and the grand formation faded away once more.
Ye Chen returned to the Flying God Star. The space between his eyebrows shone with vast light because he had just swallowed two burning Great Power divine souls. He was now in a critical state.
The two Great Power divine souls were burning with terrifying soul fire capable of igniting divine souls. Especially the soul fire from a Great Power's self-ignition was even more fearsome. It was now burning within the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person, attempting to ignite the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person itself.
One could say that the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person's actions just now were a life-risking endeavor.
However, Ye Chen was unafraid. His divine soul was special, containing chaos attributes and being sufficiently powerful, which was why he could suppress such burning divine soul Dao Fire. Otherwise, let alone other Great Powers, even Super Great Powers or peak Great Powers wouldn't dare to forcibly swallow them like Ye Chen did.
Boom!
The Chaos Saint Soul Little Person directly transformed into the Chaos Great Cauldron, containing the two burning Great Power divine souls within. Chaos Dao Fire blazed fiercely, extinguishing the soul fire of the divine soul little persons and proceeding to refine them.
Chaos could accommodate everything. Soon, it completely swallowed the two Great Power divine souls and converted them into two vast and pure streams of divine soul power, replenishing the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person. This caused the originally split and somewhat faint little person to solidify considerably once more.
Even if it couldn't compare to before taking the Soul-splitting Pill, it wasn't far off.
"I didn't expect swallowing two Great Power divine souls could increase my divine soul power so much."
Ye Chen murmured to himself, feeling this was a feasible method to enhance divine soul power, but he quickly dismissed the thought.
Although it could continuously strengthen the divine soul, firstly, Great Powers were top-tier experts at the pinnacle of the pyramid in the Great Universe. Massacring them would provoke public outrage. Such behavior would even more easily incur the wrath of all the Great Universe's powerhouses than obtaining an Emperor's body.
Just like the Forbidden Soul Hall, which collected the divine souls and bodies of many powerhouses, leading to countless factions targeting it, nearly branding it as demonic.
Even those invincible ones on the Ultimate Ancient Path would be angered by this.
Secondly, swallowing others' divine souls was ultimately an unorthodox method. After all, it wasn't cultivated step by step through one's own efforts and wasn't truly refined to perfection. It would cause certain flaws in one's Dao foundation and be detrimental to future cultivation. It was merely a method for temporary power enhancement, unfavorable in the long run.
However, the divine soul power from the two Great Power divine soul little persons could hardly cause much impact on his powerful Chaos Saint Soul Little Person. Given some time, it could be completely refined into pure Saint Soul power, becoming his own, flawless and perfect.
Next, Ye Chen looked at the other sealed Great Power divine soul within the Chaos Great Cauldron. He withdrew the ancient cauldron and released the sealed Great Power divine soul.
"Battle Saint King, I know I was wrong. I won't dare oppose you again. Please spare me!" This Great Power was terrified. Having reached this point, he had thoroughly witnessed Ye Chen's terrifying methods, which could make him wish for death but be unable to die—truly horrifying.
Ye Chen smiled. "Don't worry, I won't let you die."
Hearing this, the other party breathed a sigh of relief. However, Ye Chen's next sentence immediately caused his entire heart to tremble fiercely: "What a perfect experimental subject. I was just thinking about how to perform a secret technique to plant a divine soul imprint for enslavement. Aren't you an excellent experimental subject?"
