Many people were eager to know the outcome of the fierce battle between the two peerless existences, but their speed was ultimately too fast, disappearing from the world's sight like lightning, fleeting in an instant.
Many felt both regret and relief, for when immortals fight, mortals suffer.
They were well aware that if not for the Heaven and Earth Cauldron manifested by the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, which isolated all attacks, this world would have long been filled with countless casualties, and even a large number of peak Divine King Realm powerhouses would have fallen.
Moreover, more people turned their gaze to the Life Essence still suspended between heaven and earth. The departure of both sides without taking away such a heaven-defying immortal treasure like the Life Essence meant that this was undoubtedly the best opportunity to seize it.
In an instant, countless people grew fervent. How could the experts from the Emperor Clans, Immortal Clans, and Empires miss such a chance?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the world suddenly lit up, filled with countless terrifying divine ability and secret art attacks, blanketing the sky and earth as they bombarded the demonic encirclement once more. This time, the scale was even more intense than before.
Because everyone sensed a sense of urgency. If the two peerless existences returned, there would be no hope left for them.
This moment was both the best and the most urgent time.
The eight decaying creatures, seeing the departure of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, also breathed a sigh of relief. Especially upon witnessing that vast and boundless Heaven and Earth Cauldron, they understood they could not contend with such an existence. Naturally, they also sensed the continued presence of the pitch-black burial coffin. Enraged by the many experts daring to continue their attacks, they let out a roar, followed by the roars of countless demons, and continued to fight, continuing their protection.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen's two Chaos Saint Soul infants were within the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. At this moment, he only had a Chaos Saint Body shell left, sitting cross-legged in the void, motionless.
"Why has Little Yue's divine soul fluctuation disappeared?" Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor suddenly exclaimed in shock. He hadn't paid much attention before, but now he noticed that the current Ye Chen was actually a soulless body.
The other experts by his side also changed their expressions. Their divine senses swept over and discovered that Ye Chen's divine soul infants had vanished, their whereabouts unknown, causing their faces to pale.
"Sister Yu Qing—" A Beinu also looked at Yu Qing with a trace of worry.
Yu Qing, however, gently shook her head. "Yue is fine. He is currently doing something and will return soon. There's no need to worry too much." Although she didn't understand why Ye Chen's divine soul had disappeared, she faintly sensed it must be inextricably linked to the Heaven and Earth Cauldron that had soared away.
The existence of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was something even those closest to him had not yet learned.
At this very moment, deep within the Mythical Ruins Land, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was fiercely battling the projection of the Ancient Nether Emperor. With every move, they possessed overwhelming, boundless power that surged and raged, wantonly tearing through the heavens, shaking the boundless firmament, and striking down many shattered stars that should have dimmed the starry sky, causing terrifying meteor disasters that affected this endless land.
During their fight, Ye Chen could see even more vast areas of the Mythical Ruins Land, causing his heart to palpitate with fear.
For the Mythical Ruins Land was unimaginably vast. Even with the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body in action, its end could not be seen. One could only see this boundless land shattered, a desolate desert devoid of life, with many enormous corpses as large as stars scattered across heaven and earth.
Some of these corpses were unimaginably huge, making even stars seem minuscule before them.
Though long devoid of life, having fallen for endless ages, they still retained an awe-inspiring, infinitely terrifying aura that could captivate the mind. One could imagine how terrifying they were in life, likely not inferior to Ancient Monarchs.
Yet even such existences had long since fallen, and not just one or two. Along the way, he had seen more than ten.
One could imagine how intense and terrifying the great war of the Emperors that occurred in the Mythical Ruins Land back then must have been, with billions of living beings vanishing into thin air in the blink of an eye.
As if noticing a trace of pity in the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's eyes, the Ancient Nether Emperor let out a cold laugh. "Those below the Emperor Realm are merely ants. Dead is dead, nothing to regret. After all, if one does not become an Emperor or an immortal, they can never escape the shackles of birth, aging, sickness, and death."
Ye Chen snorted coldly. "Even as an Emperor or an immortal, so what? Without achieving eternity, one can never truly attain immortality."
The Ancient Nether Emperor was taken aback but, unusually, offered little rebuttal. He lifted his gaze to look at this vast Mythical Ruins Land, at the shattered starry sky, as if gazing upon the boundless Chaos Sea, then let out a soft sigh. "You are right. Even as an Emperor or an immortal, so what? No one dares claim they can definitely achieve immortality. Throughout the ages, era after era has perished. The number of fallen Emperors or immortals is not small. Even the mightiest Emperors and Immortal Kings are not exempt. Amidst the ebb and flow of time, haven't some also fallen? Just like the Battle Saint Ancestor of your Sealed Universe!"
Boom!
It was like a bolt from the blue. The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was as if struck by lightning, staring at the Ancient Nether Emperor in shock.
The Battle Saint Ancestor had fallen?
Boom!
During this brief moment of distraction, the Ancient Nether Emperor seized an opportunity. The Emperor Staff swept down, causing countless great world realms to manifest, thousands upon thousands of them, all crashing toward the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. It smashed the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body down from the highest point of the firmament, creating a terrifying crater nearly three hundred thousand miles wide on the earth.
Yet, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body showed no reaction to any of this. He was still overwhelmed by the shocking news of the Battle Saint Ancestor's demise.
The invincible Battle Saint Ancestor had fallen? How was that possible!?
The Ancient Nether Emperor looked at the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, sneering repeatedly. "It seems you find it hard to believe, but I was one of the participants in the encirclement to kill the Battle Saint Ancestor back then. How could I not know?"
"However, the Battle Saint Ancestor was indeed a peerless figure. Back then, our Ancient Universe joined forces with a supreme immortal from the Primordial Immortal Realm, forming a seven-person ultimate killing formation, deploying the most terrifying lineup. We paid the heavy price of three Emperors falling before we truly killed the Battle Saint Ancestor. It must be said, the Battle Saint Ancestor was an extremely fearsome figure. In that battle, three Ancient Great Emperors fell. It is even said that the supreme immortal from the Primordial Immortal Realm was severely wounded, on the brink of death, and has been in closed-door cultivation for many years without emerging, unknown if he too has passed away in the endless years."
Speaking of the Battle Saint Ancestor from back then, even the hostile Ancient Nether Emperor felt some emotion.
That was indeed an invincible existence whose glory shone through the ages. The Alien Ancient Universe paid an unimaginably heavy price to kill the Battle Saint Ancestor.
Yet Ye Chen's heart still trembled, for the invincible Battle Saint Ancestor had actually fallen.
