The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was powerful, formed from one-seventh of a Great Emperor's flesh and one-seventh of a Great Emperor's origin, equivalent to one-seventh of an ancient Great Emperor.
However, it was merely equivalent to one-seventh of an Emperor-level physical power, not representative of possessing one-seventh of an ancient Great Emperor's power.
Ancient Great Emperors were peerless and unmatched, capable of looking down upon the vast expanse of eternity, gazing upon the river of time, and encircling the sun, moon, and stars. Their indestructible Emperor-level flesh was but one aspect; more important was the Emperor Dao Laws they mastered.
That was the true source of an ancient Great Emperor's invincible might. The Emperor Dao Laws they mastered could reverse time and space, collapse the ages, overturn everything, and were naturally eternal and indestructible.
Just as Emperor Sons and Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants, all mastered the forbidden divine abilities of Emperor Dao and Immortal Dao, they were far from being able to unleash the heaven-defying might of their forebears. What they lacked was mastery of Emperor Dao Laws.
Ordinary divine ability laws, even the Sovereign Laws mastered by Ancient Monarchs, had their limits no matter how powerful. But Emperor Dao Laws stood above all Great Daos. When Emperor Dao emerged, all Daos submitted, representing the ultimate Great Dao, supreme and unparalleled.
Any divine ability or spell, once imbued with such Emperor Dao Law power, would possess the boundless ability to transform the ordinary into the miraculous.
Although the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was powerful, possessing one-seventh of a Great Emperor's physical power and one-seventh of Emperor Dao Origin, this origin could not grant the reincarnation body eternal Emperor Dao power. This Emperor Dao Origin was more of a stored Emperor Dao origin power. While it also contained Emperor Dao Laws, using it meant it diminished bit by bit.
Therefore, Ye Chen had always been unwilling to use this Emperor Dao Origin power except at critical moments, even when the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body suffered severe injuries like porcelain cracks.
Thus, without using the Emperor Dao Origin, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was merely a human-shaped weapon with only Emperor-level physical power. No matter how powerful, it was only comparable to an Ancient Monarch.
If it mastered true Emperor Dao Laws, even just a trace, but combined with the Supreme-level physical power of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, there was no doubt that once unleashed, it would possess infinite might hailed as world-shaking, transcending everything, leaving even Ancient Monarchs in despair.
Even without relying on the one-seventh Great Dao Origin within, it would be sufficient to possess the majestic power to suppress ordinary Ancient Monarchs.
Precisely because of this, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body immediately looked at the Emperor's thought phantom of Ancient Nether Great Emperor with a few more degrees of greedy fervor.
As if able to sense the reincarnation body's fervor, Ancient Nether Great Emperor's phantom noticed it, feeling a surge of anger. A cold snort resounded between heaven and earth: "To actually covet this emperor's thought? Truly arrogant. Do you think possessing some Emperor-level power allows you to act recklessly? Today, this emperor will let you feel the true gap between you and an ancient Great Emperor."
With a single Dao shout from Ancient Nether Great Emperor's Emperor's thought phantom, an unparalleled scepter that pierced heaven and earth instantly appeared in his hand. Standing between heaven and earth, it was like a pillar holding up the sky, possessing infinite power.
Boom—
Simultaneously, within the mythic ruins, the power of heaven and earth laws spanning over hundreds of thousands of li suddenly surged forth, transforming into a terrifying tide—a fearsome law tide.
For within this tide, it was entirely composed of powerful converging laws.
Generally, such a law tide could only be unleashed by super Divine Kings who had cultivated to an extremely profound level.
But the terror of this law tide far exceeded the limits of what a Divine King Realm expert could summon.
Without a doubt, an ancient Great Emperor, even with just an Emperor's thought phantom, possessed power far surpassing the Divine King Realm. Truly worthy of being an ancient Great Emperor.
Immediately, this law tide spanning hundreds of thousands of li transformed into a law scepter over a hundred thousand li long—an Emperor's Scepter. Now fully solidified, the Emperor's Scepter shimmered with the radiance of ten thousand laws.
The top of the Emperor's Scepter was a terrifying, ferocious skull, as if the most dreadful demon skull in the world, covered in fearsome fangs. Carrying law power solidified into substance, it fiercely pointed toward the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body within the Life Essence.
Boom—
As the Emperor's Scepter pointed, an immeasurably terrifying divine might accompanied it, sweeping forth. The many Divine King Realm experts within this heaven and earth all revealed expressions of horror.
Under this strike, let alone ordinary Divine Kings, even peak Divine Kings at the eighth or ninth tribulation would likely be utterly annihilated. It was a terrifying strike that threatened Ancient Monarchs.
Within the Life Essence, although the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body had not fully recovered, having devoured much Life Essence, its injuries were already seventy to eighty percent healed. Seeing this Emperor's Scepter strike that made Divine Kings across the heavens reveal expressions of shock, that childish face of seven or eight years old also showed a trace of gravity. Clearly, even one as powerful as the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body had to treat it seriously.
Ancient Great Emperors could never be measured by common sense, even if just an Emperor's thought.
"To devour your Emperor's thought, I shall expend some Emperor Dao Origin power," the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body murmured softly. From the deepest part of its body, a power that could make even Ancient Monarchs change color suddenly surged forth, filling every inch of its limbs and bones. Then, a finger slowly pointed out: "Severing Heaven Finger!"
The childish finger gently pointed out, and immediately this heaven and earth violently stirred. Whether it was the rotting divine demons or the experts from imperial clans, immortal clans, and empires, all changed expressions in horror, clearly sensing an incomparably majestic power wildly surging forth from the Life Essence.
Everyone looked there in shock, then saw an immensely thick finger suddenly appear between heaven and earth—so abrupt, so without warning, also a hundred thousand li long, covering the heavens, then fiercely crashing toward the Emperor's Scepter.
Visible to the naked eye, that vast Severing Heaven giant finger pointed out, carrying magnificent might and boundless Great Dao tempest winds that swept over with a rumbling roar.
Wherever it passed, the sky directly fell into annihilation, a deep darkness, easily obliterating the thousands of divine demons ahead. Whether ordinary rotting divine demons or a few powerful ones comparable to Divine Kings, all were submerged under the tempest winds and turned to ash, ceasing to exist.
This scene naturally made many watch with bated hearts. Before the giant finger fully pointed out, the accompanying terrifying tempest winds already contained a dreadful divine might that could annihilate even Divine King Realm figures.
Such a battle simply transcended the scope of Divine Kings; it was a Supreme-level duel at the Monarch level.
Boom—
The collision between the two was like a clash of Ancient Monarchs, terrifying and immeasurable. The entire heaven and earth directly annihilated and shattered.
Visible to the naked eye, that Severing Heaven Finger, thick as a pillar holding up the sky, was inch by inch disintegrating and collapsing during the collision.
Simultaneously, the Emperor's Scepter was the same. The laws solidified into substance were completely shattered, becoming countless shimmering points of light—Law Crystals, containing true threads of Emperor Dao profundities.
Although overall not much—within the hundred-thousand-li-long Emperor's Scepter Law Crystals, the contained Emperor Dao Laws were far less than one hundred-thousandth—if one could explore even a single thread of Emperor Dao Law within, it would be enough to cause breakthroughs for many.
After all, for countless cultivators, Emperor Dao Laws were like Heavenly Dao laws, the true bridge to the pinnacle Great Dao.
Even if not containing Emperor Dao Laws, ordinary law power required cultivators to spend many years to comprehend. But as long as one successfully refined the Law Crystals, one could also comprehend the law power contained within in a short time, saving considerable effort.
"Quick, seize them! Those are Law Crystals containing Emperor Dao profundities!"
Below, countless experts from imperial clans, immortal clans, and empires soared into the sky, aiming to seize these Law Crystals. Even a tiny bit, once obtained, would greatly benefit cultivation.
"Hmph! These are my Ancient Nether Emperor Ancestor's Law Crystals. No one is allowed to seize them!"
Ancient Mulberry Divine King made a move. Another Divine King from the Ancient Nether imperial clan also appeared. Simultaneously, other alien race Divine Kings emerged one after another, preventing others from seizing these Law Crystals. Even Divine King Realm figures coveted these Law Crystals.
But there were simply too many experts competing for the Law Crystals. Led by Divine Kings from various imperial clans, immortal clans, and the ten great empires of the Mythic Emperor Domain, no matter how powerful the alien races were, they clearly could not contend with so many Divine King experts. They could only watch helplessly, swallowing their frustration.
Within the Life Essence, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body also gently opened its small mouth. Immediately, an incomparably huge black hole manifested, swiftly rushing out of the Life Essence, enveloping the sky, and forcibly devouring countless Emperor Dao Law Crystals. They all then appeared before the reincarnation body, re-condensing into massive blocks of Law Crystals, shimmering with a ten-thousand-law power that could make even Ancient Monarchs' scalps tingle.
Ye Chen could naturally perceive everything about the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Looking at these massive blocks of Law Crystals, his eyes also gleamed with fervor. If he truly refined these Law Crystals, he could comprehend more Great Dao laws and break through faster, taking that crucial step sooner.
"Truly worthy of a figure at the ancient Great Emperor level. Even an Emperor's thought can condense such vast Law Crystals. Refining them will indeed save me much cultivation time."
He murmured softly. Although he was already powerful enough now, it was still insufficient to be utterly invincible across the entire Ten Heavens Ancient Domain. For there was still Di Wentian, Mo Shitian, and several other peerless Supreme talents on the Heavenly Rankings, all possessing battle power comparable to the Divine King level. Some among them were even Divine King-level Emperor Sons and Daughters or Immortal Dao descendants, not to be taken lightly by Ye Chen.
His realm was ultimately still too low. No matter how heaven-defying his battle power, he could not cross the boundary of major realms. The gap was too great when dealing with the strongest young Supreme figures at the Divine King level.
But with these Law Crystals, Ye Chen could reach that Divine King Realm faster. In the future, even when facing these Divine King-level Emperor Sons and Daughters or Immortal Dao descendants, he would be able to contend.
