However, Mystic Dao Elder was no longer a ninth-layer Great Power, but a true tenth-layer Great Power. No wonder he possessed such intense confidence to face Ye Chen with just one-tenth of his power.
"This is a move I comprehended after standing at the peak of Great Power for many years, also my strongest move. Young friend, behold—Ten Thousand Dao Incineration!"
As the aged voice slowly spoke, Mystic Dao Elder's hands manifested a pitch-black sun, about the size of a human head. It was entirely wreathed in profound, deep black flames that continuously surged and burned.
The moment this black sun appeared, the temperature between heaven and earth soared many times over. Many distant stars, under this scorching heat, began to melt away.
Even more terrifying, the entire cosmic starry sky was beginning to melt.
"This is—"
Ye Chen's expression changed instantly, for under the blazing temperature of the black flame sun, it seemed capable of incinerating everything.
He could even sense that beneath these black flames, even the Great Daos of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would be set ablaze.
How utterly fearsome an event—the Ten Thousand Daos of heaven and earth all being incinerated. Even Ye Chen had never reached this step.
Truly worthy of being the Mystic Dao Elder who astounded both ancient and modern times seventy thousand years ago. Having stood at the peak of Great Power for seventy thousand years, he had not been without progress. To be able to create this technique was absolutely stunning, something even an Emperor's son or daughter would not dare claim they could create.
Even with only one-tenth of its power, it was enough to give Ye Chen a sense of life-and-death crisis.
"Saint King young friend, please receive this move—"
Mystic Dao Elder's expression was solemn. As his hands swept, the black sun burning with black flames slowly descended from the sky. Accompanied by endless scorching heat, it gradually fell, hurtling towards Ye Chen.
Moreover, under this Ten Thousand Dao Incineration technique, Ye Chen was completely locked on. No matter what, he could not evade it.
This near-death sense of crisis was something even the Primordial Emperor's Son had never given him before. Yet precisely because of this, the battle blood within Ye Chen's body boiled over completely.
Huu—
He drew a deep breath, then suddenly, his eyes erupted with dazzling, brilliant light, for he had never even considered fleeing.
"Since Senior has made his move, then please also witness this junior's move—"
Ye Chen's gaze suddenly turned dazzlingly bright. All his methods were simplified to their essence. No need for further words; only the most forbidden, immeasurable supreme fist he had created was slowly unleashed—
Universe Creation!
Boom—
The moment this fist was unleashed, the cosmic starry sky suddenly exploded with a deafening roar.
Visible to the naked eye, as this fist shot out, heaven shattered and earth cracked in an instant. Boundless primordial Chaos Qi surged on his fist, then a spherical form gestated within the primordial Chaos Qi, rapidly growing to become a small Chaos Universe.
The Chaos Small Universe was not large, only about ten zhang in radius. Within it, vast amounts of primordial Chaos Qi continuously surged and swelled, constantly giving birth to more. Then, one after another, small Chaos Worlds were seen continuously emerging. There were also myriad rays of dawn light appearing, each ray representing a kind of Orderly Dao.
Boom—
Visible to the naked eye, countless world-heavens manifested within the Chaos Small Universe. Although each was even tinier than a grain of sand, they were nevertheless so clearly visible. One could also see mountains and rivers rising, vast oceans emerging within each world-heaven...
The Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms were being opened up, and a sky full of stars rushed out, dotting the void.
Earth, water, fire, and wind emerged, constructing the power of origin...
The appearance of this Universe Creation caused Mystic Dao Elder's gaze to instantly become a whole level more brilliant and radiant. He stared at Ye Chen with shock, and at this Chaos Small Universe, with unparalleled admiration and intense astonishment...
Boom—
The Chaos Small Universe collided head-on with the Ten Thousand Dao Incineration sun.
The instant they collided, visible to the naked eye, everything between heaven and earth seemed to fall into extinction. Everything vanished; everything fell silent.
This silence lasted for a full moment. Then, with a thunderous boom, the moment of their collision actually completely tore apart this star domain, giving rise to an unprecedented, enormous Black Hole.
The Black Hole was so massive that it instantly swallowed the entire star domain, devouring all its stars, and even one by one, devouring the many stars in the distant void.
However, this was no ordinary Black Hole. Its mystery and terror were such that it not only completely swallowed several surrounding star domains, but both Ye Chen and Mystic Dao Elder even saw that from the deepest part of this fearsome Black Hole, a peculiar, eerie, and sinister special aura actually emanated, slowly rippling out, causing both their expressions to turn grave.
Swish—
Suddenly, Ye Chen was stunned, for he clearly saw that in the deepest part of the Black Hole, within the profound darkness, a thread of crimson light slowly appeared, spanning the entire enormous Black Hole.
Just as he wanted to observe it more closely, this thread of crimson light suddenly expanded in an instant. Almost in the blink of an eye, it fully manifested, causing Ye Chen's entire scalp to tingle and all his black hair to stand on end.
For what spread throughout the entire Black Hole was not something else, but a gigantic eye, even larger than a star domain.
That crimson, tinged with a profound, deep black pupil, looked down from within the Black Hole at Ye Chen and Mystic Dao Elder. It was filled with coldness, filled with indifference, as if viewing two ants.
Hum—
Almost simultaneously, within Ye Chen's body, inside the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin, the Heavenly Desolation Halberd, which should have been within the Niwan Palace space of the Great Emperor's reincarnation body, suddenly shone brightly. The Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit upon it was awakened. It pierced through the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin, saw the Black Hole, and saw this excessively gigantic crimson eye. For the first time, a look that could be called horror appeared on that face identical to the Formless Monarch's.
"This aura... impossible. Could it be that what is recorded on the Chaos Stele is true?"
The Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit murmured softly. However, the mysterious Black Hole only lasted for an instant before quickly closing and disappearing. Along with its disappearance was the crimson eye in the deepest part of the Black Hole. From beginning to end, it had watched the two of them, especially Ye Chen, with the indifference of the Heavenly Dao, devoid of emotion.
Ye Chen felt that in that instant, under that crimson eye, he seemed completely transparent, utterly seen through, without any reservation, laid completely bare. Even the Great Emperor's reincarnation body within the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin was the same.
What exactly was the being within the Black Hole?
"Time is the only true eternity—"
At the moment the Black Hole completely closed, Ye Chen seemed to hear a segment of mysterious, incomprehensible speech. He could not understand its meaning; his divine sense could not connect with it; he merely heard it. However, the Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit's expression was unprecedentedly grave. It sighed softly, "Is the Chaos Sea truly about to begin its great turmoil?—"
In the end, the Black Hole completely closed and vanished. Everything returned to normal, only the star domain was now empty of all things, save for the two of them.
