The cosmic starry sky was vast and boundless, dotted with the stars of all heavens.
Silence and darkness had always been the unchanging themes of the universe for millennia, with only the sparkling starlight revealing a hint of vitality.
Roar—
At this moment, a terrifying roar shook the heavens, causing the myriad stars to tremble violently. Those stars that were slightly closer directly exploded.
Visible to the naked eye, two streams of light were darting through space like lightning.
Wherever they passed, they easily tore through the cosmic starry sky; the space was as fragile as canvas, easily ripped apart.
The leading stream of light appeared relatively small—it was a human figure, traversing the cosmic starry sky as if chasing stars and overtaking the moon. Before him, the illusory images of numerous great worlds continuously appeared and vanished, as if he were traversing the myriad realms.
The stream of light chasing behind was many times larger, surpassing even stars in size. Any star that came even slightly close along its path, even without direct contact, would be shattered into dust by the terrifying fluctuations caused by the massive light streaking through the cosmic starry sky.
This chase was precisely between Ye Chen and the King Among Kings of the Star Beasts.
"Human junior, stay here with this king!"
The King Among Kings of the Star Beasts pursued relentlessly, crossing several star domains in a row, leaving Ye Chen with no room to catch his breath.
"Damn it."
Ye Chen's expression was extremely grim. He very much wanted to directly summon the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, activate its near-Supreme One level undying physical power, and slap this King Among Kings to death. However, he ultimately refrained from truly using it.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body had ultimately suffered aftereffects from its earlier battle with the Gu Chu Great Emperor.
These were aftereffects created during the Mythical Era. The Azure Radiance Great Emperor's reversal of time and space had only replaced the later Great Emperor Reincarnation Body that escaped from the River of Time.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was covered in cracks, slowly healing.
Especially at the dantian position, there was a light sphere the size of a fist—the dantian space, which was also the heart of the Origin World.
The reason why Great Powers, Monarchs, and even Emperors were powerful was partly because they could master the myriad Daos of the heavens, acting as they wished and displaying the imperial might of the Heavenly Dao.
Another aspect was because their own Origin Heaven and Earth, the power of their Origin World, combined with the mastered Daos, allowed them to display that heaven-defying combat prowess.
But now, the heart of the Origin World within the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was surrounded by countless fine cracks, interwoven like a spiderweb, as if it could shatter at any moment, appearing quite dangerous.
If not repaired and healed, it would have unimaginable aftereffects for opening up the Origin World Heaven and Earth in the future.
Moreover, during battle, it might also disturb the repair of the Origin World's heart, even causing it to crack further, which was not something Ye Chen wished to see at present.
More importantly, in the future when impacting the Emperor realm, the Origin World's heart would play an extremely important role. If incomplete, it might be impossible to prove the Dao and become an Emperor.
Of course, this was limited only to the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and not the Chaos Supreme Body.
However, Ye Chen harbored great ambition. He hoped that both the Chaos Supreme Body and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body would prove the Dao and become Emperors, thereby possessing even more powerful imperial combat prowess, and he was unwilling to allow any flaws.
Precisely because of this, unless absolutely necessary, Ye Chen was truly unwilling to easily mobilize the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Instead, he needed to place it within his own Chaos Small Universe, absorbing Chaos Ancient Qi to slowly nurture and repair it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
In the end, Ye Chen summoned the Supreme Ancient Tower. This Supreme Ancient Tower had also developed faint cracks and become damaged during the previous collision with the Gu Chu Great Emperor, but it was ultimately extraordinary. Once summoned, it erupted with Monarch Heavenly Might, colliding with the King Among Kings.
Several star domains collapsed into dust, and countless stars were annihilated into nothingness.
Even though Ye Chen's combat prowess was enough to rival ordinary mid-stage Ninth Heaven Great Powers, he still found it difficult to match a supreme expert at the Nine Tribulations Realm. Fortunately, he relied on the Supreme Ancient Tower; otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome.
However, after a series of collisions, Ye Chen also expended a significant amount of Great Dao Divine Energy, continuously reviving the Supreme Ancient Tower to collide with it. Explosions of boundless, vast light continuously shattered the starry sky, causing great destruction.
In the end, Ye Chen was formidable enough. He still managed to escape from the King Among Kings, flew back, found the Star Beast King, directly displayed his peerless combat prowess, fiercely and severely wounded the Star Beast King—even cracking its divine soul—but did not truly kill it.
Because doing so would truly mean an endless feud of life and death.
However, Ye Chen quickly found that trial ancient city, found the Domain Heaven Gate, and charged into it. Accompanied by a roar that shattered the stars of the heavens, he disappeared from that star domain.
Thus, Ye Chen and the others returned to their normal course, continuing to cultivate within the spatial transmission channel, refining Nine Heavens Profound Crystals one by one, constantly comprehending the Great Dao, with their Dao attainments deepening day by day.
Time flowed, space traversed.
Under such cultivation, another ten months quickly passed.
Ten months later, Ye Chen and the others arrived at the final transfer station. At this moment, he had completely refined nine Nine Heavens Profound Crystals and, as anticipated, reached the peak of the Sixth Heaven, only a hair's breadth away from the Seventh Heaven Super Great Power realm.
Unfortunately, it was precisely this hair's breadth difference. Ye Chen did not know how much time he would need to truly step across it. Perhaps, unluckily, it would take dozens or even a hundred years to truly take this crucial step.
His Great Dao cultivation was unfathomably deep. His entire being increasingly possessed a supreme, peerless imperial bearing. Merely standing there made others almost unable to catch their breath.
This was his terrifying aspect.
Naturally, Abenue should have completed her evolution. After refining the seven high-level young supremes, she advanced further, obtaining the imperial bloodline power of those individuals and thoroughly fusing it with her own bloodline and even the portion of Dragon Source she possessed, forming an entirely new bloodline.
The power of this fused bloodline was so strong that it was not the slightest bit inferior to imperial bloodline power, allowing Abenue's realm to rise, reaching the tenth heaven perfection of the Divine Transformation Realm, achieving the level of a high-level young supreme.
Moreover, the true formidable aspects of this fused bloodline power had not yet been fully unleashed. As time passed, the heaven-defying nature of this fused bloodline power would gradually manifest.
And at that step, perhaps Abenue would achieve the strongest super evolution, accomplishing the position of the strongest young supreme in one fell swoop, not inferior to those Emperor Sons and Emperor Daughters.
At that time, Abenue would be Ye Chen's true right-hand man, qualified to accompany him in true conquest, able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him in battle in a blood-stained future.
Of course, all of this was still somewhat distant for the present.
As for both Mo Haishen and Luo Guyun, due to refining the Nine Heavens Profound Crystals, their strength had also improved. Like Ye Chen, they were both at the peak of the Great Power Sixth Heaven realm.
Naturally, although they were at the same realm, there was a huge gap in combat prowess.
The gap between a high-level young supreme and the strongest young supreme was insurmountable.
Boom!—
The three of them emerged from the final transfer station. What was needed now was to step into the transfer station's Domain Heaven Gate for the final transmission.
And the other end of this transmission was the final destination that gathered almost all the Emperor Sons and Emperor Daughters of the myriad ancient universes—the Ten Heavens Realm.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen led his three Supreme Heaven's Prides and stepped into the Domain Heaven Gate. Gazing into it, a surge of indescribable heroic spirit arose within his heart: "Ten Heavens Realm, I have arrived."
"Emperor Sons and Emperor Daughters of the myriad heavens, I have arrived too!"
"Wait for my descent, to achieve an invincible sweep!"
