Mystic Dao Elder shook his head, genuinely feeling pity for those people now. They had actually provoked such a great killing god.
Through Ye Chen's deliberate actions, his whereabouts were soon leaked—he was in a distant ancient star domain named Cang Wei.
Several invited experts and individuals with special abilities had confirmed his location.
That very day, a group of top-tier Great Power-level experts appeared, heading for the Cang Wei Star Domain. At least sixteen Great Powers were involved, including two Super Great Powers. Rumors said this was merely the vanguard, with more experts arriving one after another.
They all knew this was the Battle Saint King; even if severely injured, he could not be underestimated, and they dared not be careless.
Moreover, they all desired a share of the many treasures on the Battle Saint King's person.
As soon as these Great Power experts appeared, they discovered Ye Chen sitting cross-legged in the starry sky, swallowing and refining the radiance of the myriad stars to heal his injuries, bathed in brilliant rays of light, appearing exceptionally sacred.
Boom—
Without a doubt, battle erupted directly, its influence vast, triggering intense clashes.
During this, Ye Chen was jointly besieged by the Great Powers who had arrived. They sealed off this vast star domain. Furthermore, from the previously spread news, they learned that the Alien Insect Race Mother Queen Abenue had been slain by Mystic Dao Elder, and the current Battle Saint King was severely wounded, his condition very poor, his strength far from comparable to before.
This only further ignited these experts' killing intent. They rushed forward one after another, besieging the Battle Saint King, beginning a terrifying battle of many tigers devouring a dragon, shaking the surrounding star domains.
During the process, the Battle Saint King indeed occasionally coughed up blood at the corner of his mouth, his complexion pale, as if he might collapse at any moment.
In this state, the sixteen Great Powers, with the combined force of two Super Great Powers, tore apart half his body. Blood light splattered, and that Chaos Great Cauldron was blasted into pieces, its chaotic aura thinning.
The Battle Saint King before them seemed to have exhausted his oil and burned out his lamp, on the verge of falling into eternal silence at any moment. This further stirred the Great Powers' killing intent. They bombarded him relentlessly, attacking desperately, vowing to utterly slay the Battle Saint King.
However, the Battle Saint King also seemed to enter a final rally. Clearly, his flesh had been torn apart several times, staining the starry expanse with blood, yet he fought more and more valiantly. The later it got, the stronger he became, actually killing three Great Powers in one go. Even the two Super Great Powers were successively wounded, spraying blood that stained the star domain.
"What a formidable Battle Saint King, but he will undoubtedly die today."
The two Super Great Powers at the forefront suddenly exerted themselves, both displaying combat power far surpassing ordinary Great Powers. The two joined forces, fiercely battling the Battle Saint King, fighting until heaven and earth shattered, one star domain after another crumbled, and numerous stars exploded one after another, turning into dazzling, blazing fireworks flashing in the starry sky.
The Battle Saint King continuously maneuvered and clashed within, also successively unleashing one renowned divine ability after another—Four Extremities Connecting to Sage Style, Five Elements Metal Realm, World Creation, Severing Heaven Finger—shaking the four poles and the cosmos, fiercely battling the many experts, with flames constantly soaring skyward.
Boom—
In the end, the two Super Great Powers were successively torn apart in body and soul by the Battle Saint King, severely wounded, nearly killed. Four more Great Powers were utterly crippled, successively blasted into the endless spatial turbulence, disappearing.
But the two Super Great Powers and the seven remaining Great Powers paid no heed. On the contrary, the Battle Saint King at this moment was already exhausted, torn asunder. They unleashed their strongest strike, completely shattering the Battle Saint King's body, leaving behind a Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin hovering in the starry sky.
"Good, the Battle Saint King has been slain. The Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin has appeared. The Emperor's body must be placed within this coffin. Only such an ancient coffin can withstand the might of an Emperor's body."
The remaining Great Powers understood. They heavily surrounded the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin, then prepared to open it.
Clang—
The first coffin lid was opened. Just as they were about to open the second lid, a golden light flashed within. A graceful and slender figure emerged from it and immediately unleashed a fearsome golden True Dragon that spanned the sky. The two Super Great Powers and seven Great Powers at close range were caught completely off guard, all severely wounded and sent flying.
These Great Powers coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, staring in shock at the fox-spirit-like, enchantingly beautiful golden-haired woman before them. It was none other than the Alien Insect Race Mother Queen Abenue, rumored to have been slain by Mystic Dao Elder. Wasn't she killed? Why was she here now?
"Not good, we've fallen into a trap—"
A Super Great Power immediately reacted, transmitting a message to the others and hurriedly soaring into the sky, trying to leave this starry expanse.
Boom—
At this moment, heaven and earth trembled violently, then were restrained.
Simultaneously, from the distant sky, a Dao pressure that could be described as unimaginable flashed into existence, then completely swept across this star domain, making the remaining Great Powers feel a terrifying sense of oppression.
In the distant sky, ancient chaotic qi billowed. Within it, a supremely handsome and heroic figure stood atop a cauldron. His indifferent, merciless gaze looked down upon these Great Powers from above. Wasn't this the Battle Saint King they had painstakingly slain? How had he also revived!?
At this point, how could they not understand? They had all fallen into a trap. They had never truly slain the Battle Saint King; everything was merely a setup.
"I hate this!"
"Why is it like this? Wasn't it said that Mystic Dao Elder killed the Insect Race Mother Queen and the Battle Saint King was severely wounded?"
The Great Powers wished they could roar, their eyes red with anger as they looked at the Battle Saint King in the distant sky, yet they were helpless.
Not to mention they were now severely wounded; even at their peak, they could not compare to the Battle Saint King before them. His flawless, supreme aura was enough to prove the rumors false. The Battle Saint King had not a single injury; on the contrary, he was at his peak, powerful beyond belief.
All of them combined would find it difficult to slay the Battle Saint King in his peak state.
"Abenue, you take action. I will protect you." Outside the star domain, Ye Chen stood atop the cauldron. He had restrained this star domain, preventing these Great Powers from escaping, and also allowing Abenue to gain experience and become stronger.
"Yes, Master!"
Abenue said respectfully, then looked at the two Super Great Powers and the seven Great Powers. A starry nest appeared, along with Great Power-level puppets. Endless Insect Race warriors surged forth, flooding the star domain as she single-handedly challenged these Great Powers.
During this, Ye Chen sat down cross-legged.
Beside him, Mystic Dao Elder appeared. Looking at the restrained two Super Great Powers and seven Great Powers, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly. "Little Saint King friend, to train this Insect Race Mother Queen, you've really put in effort. Moreover, this old man can see that she contains part of a dragon source within her body, capable of unleashing some True Dragon power. In the future, she may transcend the limitations of the Insect Race and evolve toward a pure-blooded True Dragon."
"Abenue is, after all, my follower and protected me with all her might during my seclusion, showing loyalty. Naturally, I pay her more attention." Ye Chen smiled, then swept a faint glance over the foreign Super Great Powers in the star domain. "These few Super Great Powers don't catch my eye. If four or five Seventh Heaven Super Great Powers came and set up a super formation, they might pose a threat to me, but they couldn't kill me unless they were those Supreme One prodigies. If they truly want to kill me, at least Eighth Heaven mid-stage Great Powers should come; otherwise, I'm not very interested."
If anyone else spoke like this, Mystic Dao Elder would surely call it nonsense. But when Ye Chen spoke, he gave him a meaningful look, then sighed slightly, for he deeply understood the true combat power of this Chaos young Supreme One.
Especially that move, World Creation Universe, which could manifest the phantom of a Chaos Universe. Although far from comparable to a true Ancient Universe, he suspected that when the Battle Saint King fully matured and eventually proved his Dao to become an Emperor, he might truly be able to throw a single punch and completely open up a genuine Ancient Chaos Universe.
At that point, the Battle Saint King might even surpass Emperors and Sovereigns, achieving eternity.
After all, even the supreme Emperors or peerless Immortals could not open up a true Ancient Chaos Universe.
Mystic Dao Elder shook his head somewhat helplessly. "Throughout the entire Ancient Chaos Universe, Super Great Powers whose cultivation reaches the Seventh Heaven or above are exceedingly rare, let alone Eighth Heaven Great Powers. It would truly be difficult for top-tier Super Great Powers of this level to appear."
"Not so." Ye Chen laughed. "Senior, don't forget how unique this era is. Supreme One prodigies from various Ancient Universes are emerging one after another. There's also a batch of Emperor sons and daughters. Naturally, many Great Powers from imperial clans sealed away in the past will also appear. I don't believe those imperial clans wouldn't seal away figures like Super Great Powers as hidden assets. Moreover, this Ancient Universe is not my Sealed World Universe, that broken Ancient Universe. With the Tenth Heaven existing, the Great Dao is easier to cultivate here, so it's impossible to lack top-tier Super Great Powers of this level."
"At other times, they might continue sealing them away, but this era is different. And because of the Monarchless Decree, Ancient Monarchs cannot act. These Super Great Powers will surely take action."
His analysis was very thorough and logical, leaving even Mystic Dao Elder somewhat dumbfounded. He then smiled bitterly. "You, little friend, truly scheme with every trick. I'm afraid when those Super Great Powers come, they'll just become whetstones for you to temper yourself."
"I very much look forward to their arrival. The more, the better. Otherwise, my plans will be difficult to implement."
Ye Chen smiled faintly, saying no more, and instead turned his gaze toward the depths of the starry sky.
Swish—
He tore through the void. A spatial chasm immediately appeared, from which four disheveled figures tumbled out. Looking at their appearances, they were precisely the Great Power experts who had been blasted into the endless spatial turbulence and disappeared earlier. Now, they all appeared before Ye Chen.
