The current Ancient Nether Emperor was no longer just a simple Emperor's thought. He was more like a projection of the Emperor Dao's true self, far more powerful than a mere Emperor's thought and possessing genuine Supreme Emperor might.
Although it was still only a trace, compared to the Emperor's thought form, it had undergone a qualitative transformation.
Possessing Supreme Emperor might and combined with Emperor Dao Laws, the Ancient Nether Emperor's true power could now be unleashed to a considerable extent, becoming far more terrifying than before.
Boom—
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, which had transformed into the Heaven and Earth Great Cauldron, underwent a drastic change in expression. He clearly sensed the astonishing transformation of the Ancient Nether Emperor at this moment. He feared that if things continued like this, not only would he fail to refine the Ancient Nether Emperor's thought, but he might even be injured by the opponent.
Ye Chen had witnessed the prowess of ancient emperors more than once or twice. Their methods were truly earth-shattering, so he never dared to be careless.
Immediately, he let out a great shout. The Heaven and Earth Great Cauldron manifested by the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body trembled violently, then radiated an extremely terrifying devouring force.
This devouring force appeared on the surface of the Heaven and Earth Great Cauldron, transforming into numerous pitch-black, unfathomable Black Holes. Each spanned nearly a hundred thousand miles, and there were exactly ten of them, resembling Black Holes formed from ten layers of divine halos.
Rumble—
The moment these ten terrifying Black Holes appeared, they spontaneously generated terrifying devouring forces of immeasurable magnitude. These devouring forces spread across the sky and earth, swiftly enveloping the vast land spanning nearly ten million miles.
Visible to the naked eye, the instant the ten great devouring Black Holes appeared, accompanied by the fearsome devouring force, multicolored, crystalline light dragons materialized out of thin air, converging from all directions.
Those were the heaven and earth energies of the Mythical Ruins, mixed with countless fragmented law remnants. Originally dormant within the world, they would only surge forth to launch various attacks when provoked. But now, they were also drawn out by the terrifying devouring force, being madly swallowed.
The boundless earth trembled violently, cracking open with immense fissures.
All of this was due to the devouring of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body.
Visible to the naked eye, the terrifying heaven and earth energies frantically converged, transforming into streams of multicolored power mixed with numerous fragmented law remnants, which then poured into the Heaven and Earth Great Cauldron.
Boom—
Instantly, the Heaven and Earth Great Cauldron erupted with a much more intense and vast pressure. Under this pressure, the surging emperor flames raging within the cauldron burned even more terrifyingly, completely submerging the Ancient Nether Emperor.
Within, the towering emperor flames also transformed into terrifying giant dragons tens of thousands of miles long, their bodies wreathed in flames of emperor power, roaring as they charged toward the Ancient Nether Emperor.
"Somewhat interesting. To be able to execute such an attack, even many Sovereigns would find it hard to withstand. However, for this emperor, even if only a brief projection, it still falls short." The Ancient Nether Emperor sneered, gently waving his emperor scepter. Then, an emperor might capable of reversing time and space soared into the sky, instantly transforming into numerous pitch-black giant dragons that fiercely collided with the fire dragons formed from the all-encompassing emperor flames, engaging in a fierce battle.
Boom boom boom—
This level of collision had long surpassed the scope of ordinary Ancient Monarchs. Both sides possessed unimaginable might that was violently erupting.
Fortunately, this collision occurred within the Heaven and Earth Great Cauldron. Otherwise, just the slightest bit of energy leaking out would be enough to tear apart the entire firmament and reduce even Divine Kings to dust, utterly annihilating them.
As for the numerous powerhouses outside, they couldn't clearly see everything happening inside the Heaven and Earth Great Cauldron. However, they could sense the massive cauldron body constantly shaking within, allowing them to infer a thing or two, knowing that an earth-shattering battle beyond outsiders' imagination was likely taking place.
And this kind of earth-shattering battle, even if all Divine Kings participated, would likely result in their complete annihilation—a battle capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Swish—
Ye Chen's expression was extremely grave. He was now unable to divide his attention. At this moment, he asked Yu Qing to help protect him. A brilliant radiance bloomed from between his brows, then vanished abruptly, disappearing without a trace.
The next moment, the Chaos Saint Soul infant within the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body intensified many times over. The fusion of two Chaos Saint Soul infants resulted in an increase far beyond simple addition.
Originally, Ye Chen was ultimately only at the late stage of the eighth level of the Great Power realm. Even though he controlled the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, manifesting such a massive dharma form and devouring such vast amounts of heaven and earth energy from such a broad area would inevitably feel somewhat clumsy to operate.
But with the addition of another Chaos Saint Soul infant, everything became much more proficient and natural.
Inside the Heaven and Earth Great Cauldron, Ye Chen let out a long roar. The figure of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body stepped forth, even continuously drawing upon the power of the Emperor Dao Origin, causing its combat power to surge dramatically. The emperor flame dragons howling within the Heaven and Earth Great Cauldron suddenly became much more terrifying, repeatedly tearing apart and shattering numerous black dragons, forcing the Emperor's thought form of the Ancient Nether Emperor to retreat repeatedly, a look of astonishment appearing on his face: "Emperor Dao Laws? You understand them too? No, that's Emperor Dao Origin. You actually possess Emperor Dao Origin as well."
It was no wonder even a peerless Great Emperor like him was astonished. Because Emperor Dao Origin was the exclusive domain of ancient emperors; even Emperors did not possess it. The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was not a true ancient emperor, so how could it possess it?
"Speaking of which, this Emperor Dao Origin is thanks to your alien race's Qing Gu Emperor. Back then, he was suppressed by the Alchemy Emperor under Zhen Di Peak. His Emperor Dao Origin was squeezed out, which allowed me to luckily obtain this portion of Emperor Dao Origin."
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body sneered. Such a smile on the tender face of a seven-year-old boy was indeed somewhat strange. However, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body paid no mind to such details. Precisely because the power of the Emperor Dao Origin surged forth, the strength of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body continuously climbed, even making the projection form of the Ancient Nether Emperor feel a sense of pressure.
Hearing this, countless thoughts flashed through the Ancient Nether Emperor's mind in an instant.
Since the other party mentioned Qing Gu Emperor, there was no doubt he must have been present in the Fallen Emperor Battlefield back then. More importantly, among the five alien emperors who descended that time, there was an emperor body of his.
However, when he descended back then, while he and the other alien emperors were rescuing Qing Gu Emperor, he did not see this little boy possessing partial emperor body power enter Zhen Di Peak to seize Qing Gu Emperor's Emperor Dao Origin. Otherwise, with his vast and boundless Emperor's thought, even with the isolation of the universe, how could he not have been discovered?
But during the rescue of Qing Gu Emperor, he did detect another force infinitely close to the emperor level—the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, the invincible weapon of the Formless Sovereign, a peerless weapon comparable to a Supreme Emperor weapon, revived to its extreme, with its divine spirit awakened.
Could it be the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd?
No, although the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd was powerful, its power attribute differed from this little boy's.
But suddenly, he remembered that in that battle back then, the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd was not just a simple peerless weapon; there was also a person at that time.
That was a junior. He was quite familiar with that young junior because it was precisely due to that junior, who leveraged the tribulation of a great realm, that the plan of their alien race's five peerless emperors to descend was completely ruined.
He remembered that it was a peerless talent and supreme figure from the Sealed Universe, the strongest young generation's supreme, carrying vast ancient Chaos aura, suspected to be a Chaos young generation's supreme, and even more suspected to be a key figure of the Sealed Universe.
"Could it be that you are the final successor of the Battle Saint lineage!"
The Ancient Nether Emperor looked at the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body with a trace of astonishment, seemingly somewhat incredulous. But if one considered who might have obtained Qing Gu Emperor's Emperor Dao Origin back then, it was either the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd or that final successor of the Battle Saint lineage.
After much thought, only this possibility remained.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body revealed a faint sneer. "Congratulations, you guessed right. And thank you for specially using an emperor technique to make the Emperor's thought form as solid as a projection form. The Emperor Dao Laws contained within must be even more powerful. You truly are a great person, just like Qing Gu Emperor!"
Boom—
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body swung its seemingly tender fist straight out. However, the surface of that small fist condensed a crystal-like layer, shimmering with brilliant radiance as if flashing with the power of ten thousand laws. That was Ye Chen's evolution through Chaos dao techniques.
Although far less powerful than the Ancient Nether Emperor's Emperor Dao Laws, when executed by the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, the condensed Chaos law power could also manifest a qualitative, geometric increase.
"Chaos? Indeed, you are the strongest young generation's supreme cultivating the Chaos Great Dao, aiming for the Great Perfection of the Chaos Great Dao to ultimately transcend constraints and achieve eternity?" The Ancient Nether Emperor naturally could see this, but he just sneered. His majestic figure also charged forward, brandishing his emperor scepter. A terrifying, ultimate Emperor Dao Law power erupted. Under that Emperor Dao Law power, all Great Dao laws would submit.
When the Emperor Dao emerges, all Daos submit!
"Even someone as dazzling as the Supreme Saint Emperor couldn't transcend back then, let alone a mere junior whose grasp of the Chaos Great Dao is only superficial. Even though the Emperor Dao Laws this emperor's projection form can unleash are far inferior to the true self, they are still enough to kill you!"
The two most powerful existences within the Mythical Ruins collided. In an instant, ten thousand Daos crumbled, everything heading toward annihilation.
In that collision, even many Ancient Monarchs would likely avoid its sharp edge, because it surpassed the level of ordinary Ancient Monarchs.
Throughout the battle, it remained within the Heaven and Earth Great Cauldron manifested by the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Although this avoided affecting the outside world, the damage to the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was extraordinary.
Therefore, Ye Chen was unwilling to continue manifesting the Heaven and Earth Great Cauldron. He unleashed infinite mighty power, forcibly dragging the Ancient Nether Emperor away, charging deeper into the Mythical Ruins, transforming into two streams of light that vanished from the sight of the world.
