Death in battle was the only end!
How tragic and heroic it was.
Unprecedented throughout the ages, nothing could describe it.
In Ye Chen's eyes, only boundless radiance surged forth.
Tears streamed from Ye Chen's eyes as he shouted, yet no sound emerged, drowned out by everything else.
His outstretched hands kept grasping, trying to seize the Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit, as if he had caught something—
After a long time, who knew how much time had passed, everything came to an end.
Ye Chen left the Mythical Epoch and appeared on the River of Time.
Before him stood the magnificent, boundless Heaven-Burying Stele, still stained with Emperor Blood, vivid as a rainbow, flowing with brilliant light.
Just now, it was a single drop of Emperor Blood that fell, forcing Ye Chen to return to that Mythical Epoch and experience all those events.
Ye Chen's expression was desolate. In his hand lay several shattered pieces of a weapon, dull and lifeless, vaguely recognizable when combined as a great bronze halberd—the Heavenly Desolation Great Halberd.
Now, the Heavenly Desolation Great Halberd was no longer whole, broken into several pieces. In the final clash of the Mythical Epoch, the Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit had disregarded life and death, sacrificing itself to save Ye Chen.
Ye Chen caressed the shattered pieces of the Heavenly Desolation Great Halberd. His supreme divine soul power flooded over the broken halberd body, but unfortunately, he could not find a trace of familiar fluctuation.
Even the ancient great world contained within the Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit, no less than a Monarch's great world, was now broken, reduced to many fragments.
"Senior, I'm sorry!"
Ye Chen knelt on the pieces of the Heavenly Desolation Great Halberd, filled with guilt, his eyes bloodshot.
If he hadn't recklessly stepped onto this River of Time, none of this would have happened. The Heavenly Desolation Great Halberd wouldn't have broken into pieces to save him, perishing completely.
It was all his fault, his grave mistake.
The broken pieces of the Heavenly Desolation Great Halberd lay quietly there, motionless, offering no reply, and could not possibly reply.
Immersed in sorrow, Ye Chen did not notice the Emperor Reincarnation Body suddenly tremble slightly, emitting a hazy azure light, but only for an instant before quickly returning to calm.
Buzz—
Suddenly, the Heaven-Burying Stele trembled. The drops of Emperor Blood staining it abruptly fell.
The Emperor Blood fell more and more, rapidly dyeing the River of Time crimson and stirring up endless, terrifying waves that surged to the nine heavens.
With a rumbling sound, gradually visible within, a peerless, immortal Emperor figure clearly appeared, eventually merging into the supreme firmament.
That familiar, boundless imperial aura appeared once again. It was Emperor Gu Chu. He had actually appeared again, and on the River of Time no less, standing aloof as he looked down at Ye Chen, his emotionless voice falling: "Ant-like key person, you actually made the divine spirit of the Heavenly Desolation Great Halberd self-destruct to block my strike in the Mythical Epoch. You are indeed lucky, but it is useless. To slay you, this Emperor paid a great price. How could I let you escape so easily?"
"The Emperor Blood stained on the Heaven-Burying Stele in the past contains this Emperor's indestructible will. Even a Heavenly Emperor would find it difficult to extinguish this Emperor's will. Now, I shall utterly annihilate you!"
"Die!"
Emperor Gu Chu struck on the River of Time, attacking Ye Chen.
The fluctuation was no weaker than when he executed the Great Annihilation Finger in the Mythical Epoch. Without the forbidden heavenly lightning to block it, the imperial heavenly might from the Emperor Blood was displayed in full, rapidly threatening to drown Ye Chen.
This time, Ye Chen raised his head to face it. His expression held neither sorrow nor joy, but the Emperor Reincarnation Body began to burn, and even the one-seventh of the Emperor's origin source burned, transforming into endless light.
An unprecedented aura surged from his body, reaching the absolute peak of his life. The intensity of that fluctuation was such that even an Ancient Monarch before him would be utterly annihilated in one strike!
From Ye Chen's mouth, emotionless killing intent surged forth: "Alien Emperor, I said, even in death, I will drag you down to hell to be buried with me!"
Boom—
Ye Chen was prepared to abandon everything, to burn the hard-earned Emperor Reincarnation Body, to burn the priceless one-seventh of the Emperor's origin source, allowing himself to possess, for a brief moment, true supreme imperial power to resist Emperor Gu Chu, and to drag this unprecedented Alien Emperor down completely to be buried with him.
At the same time, Ye Chen gathered all his imperial-level power to execute his own ultimate forbidden divine ability—World Creation Universe.
He took a fierce step forward. The River of Time violently surged, stirring up countless terrifying waves, each layer capable of surging upward to the nine heavens. Countless stars fell from the sky, then burned, their essence absorbed, rushing toward Ye Chen.
This punch was Ye Chen's absolute limit. He abandoned everything, the strongest punch he could unleash in his life to date!
Boom, boom, boom—
His Emperor body completely burned, transforming into boundless flames that could illuminate all heavens and myriad worlds.
Above his fist, a hazy, massive phantom surged forth, boundless and immense, a vast expanse of gray—the boundless ancient chaos energy.
Only now, this boundless ancient chaos energy rapidly condensed. In the end, it became a single point—a singularity, extremely tiny, actually reaching the ultimate limit of power, the concentration point of all power, even countless times smaller than the tip of a needle.
Yet, it was precisely this singularity that even an eternal Great Emperor like Emperor Gu Chu felt an unprecedented, immense crisis.
Rumble—
The singularity abruptly exploded, surging forth with an unprecedented, majestic power that made even an Emperor's heart tremble, his expression change, his heart pound.
Visible to the naked eye, the moment the singularity exploded, it rapidly expanded. From that extremely tiny, minuscule point, it expanded to infinitely huge, reaching billions of miles in diameter.
Within, boundless stars rapidly evolved forth, and dimensional plane worlds evolved. All Heavens and myriad worlds appeared, and a vast heaven and earth comparable to the myriad domains of the heavens also emerged.
Sun, moon, mountains, and rivers manifested. Myriad living beings also appeared. The myriad heavenly Daos also appeared, and were much more perfected. Various great Daos could be clearly felt. The entire universe rapidly underwent evolution.
Though described as slow, all this happened in the blink of an eye. A massive ancient chaos universe, billions of miles in diameter, appeared.
It could be said that whether it was the ancient chaos energy condensing into a singularity, the appearance and explosion of the singularity, or the appearance of myriad living beings, all were unprecedented in Ye Chen's previous executions of World Creation Universe. This was a World Creation Universe perfected many times over, only possible to perfect to this level by utilizing imperial-level power.
At this stage, World Creation Universe was at least perfected over ninety percent; otherwise, myriad living beings could not have appeared.
At any other time, Ye Chen would have carefully sensed these boundless changes, offering endless benefits for his evolution and perfection of his chaos small universe. But at this moment, he could pay attention to nothing. His heart held only that matchless fury—the fury toward Emperor Gu Chu for killing the Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit.
He would rather die, and also drag the Alien Emperor Gu Chu down to hell to be buried with him, to be buried with the Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit.
The chaos universe manifested forth, majestically standing on the River of Time. Its majestic, boundless aura even shook past and present time and space.
Even with the Heaven-Burying Stele blocking it, on the severed River of Time, one after another terrifying, immeasurable figures were startled, manifesting and standing, majestically overlooking with shock in their hearts.
Facing it head-on, Emperor Gu Chu appeared even more utterly shocked: "You actually evolved out a true ancient chaos universe!?"
Without a doubt, even an Emperor couldn't help but be shocked. Because that was a true ancient chaos universe. Though still far from comparable to those ancient chaos universes in the Chaos Sea, that integrated and grand aura was indeed that of an ancient chaos universe, not an Emperor Realm.
Though Emperor Realm also had the saying of being a small universe, truly speaking, it was far inferior to a true ancient universe.
Because a true ancient chaos universe could give birth to Emperors or peerless supremes like supreme immortals, while an Emperor Realm would be remarkable to give birth to Ancient Monarchs. That was the gap.
This was also the true reason for Emperor Gu Chu's such shock.
"Die, Emperor Gu Chu!"
Ye Chen's entire person burned to the limit. The boundless, endless imperial-level power continuously merged into the ancient chaos universe, making the ancient universe's aura even more terrifyingly vast. In the end, it reached an unprecedented height, enough to make an Emperor feel a sense of crisis.
Moreover, from within, a strand of obtained azure light surged forth, merging into the ancient chaos universe, making it appear more complete, adding a touch of vast heavenly Dao power.
Boom—
The ancient chaos universe completely blasted out!
Boom—
The River of Time completely stirred. The ancient chaos universe continuously devoured endless power, exploding boundless temporal waves, rumbling as it pushed forward, blasting toward Emperor Gu Chu!
The strongest strike!
World Creation Universe!
Emperor Gu Chu let out a roar that shook all ages and time. The Emperor Blood flowing on the River of Time also fiercely burned. Finally, the pointed Great Annihilation Finger exploded, transforming into a boundless demonic light, giving rise to a boundless great heaven and earth no different from the myriad domains of the heavens, vast beyond description. Upon it were endless Alien Race living beings, and grand divine temples suspended in the air.
Then, on that Alien Emperor, at its deepest point, a most ancient temple appeared. Suddenly, a boundless demonic shadow appeared.
Under that demonic shadow, even Emperor Gu Chu's Emperor figure appeared small.
Emperor Gu Chu was furious and grave, forced by Ye Chen to use this move. But regardless, he would use it to resolve Ye Chen.
At this point, he harbored a heart set on killing. No matter what, he absolutely could not let Ye Chen, this key person, remain in the world. Otherwise, it would be a great obstacle for the entire Alien Race's grand plan.
Boom—
The imperial-level collision finally arrived.
Ancient chaos universe collided with peerless demonic shadow!
