"Yue!"
Yu Qing and A Beinu, seeing Ye Chen covered in wounds, felt a pang of heartache. However, Ye Chen grinned, showing his teeth: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't forget, I'm a Pill Refining Grandmaster."
After comforting the two women for a while, he finally managed to reassure them and they left. The Corpse-Devouring Insect Emperor completely ignored Ye Chen's injuries, because in its eyes, this guy was an indestructible cockroach who had died and revived several times. These injuries naturally didn't count for much, and it left immediately.
All of them entered Ye Chen's Niwan Palace, together with the Chaos Saint Soul avatar. Compared to others, their perception was much more direct and vivid, the immersive feeling was also more intense, and thus their insights were the deepest.
Similarly, just after their soul power left, Ye Chen entered a secret chamber specially left for him by the Worldless Monarch, entering a state of seclusion.
He first activated the Saint Body Regeneration Technique. Immediately, his limbs and bones began to shine, a brilliant chaos radiance flowing through every inch of his body. All his injuries were instantly healed, at least the surface wounds were completely restored.
Then, with a sudden tremor, he pushed the Saint Body Regeneration Technique to its limit. All the Dao injuries within his body vanished completely, and he was fully recovered.
After repairing all his injuries, Ye Chen didn't bother to clean the bloodstains on his body. He summoned the Chaos Great Cauldron.
The Chaos Great Cauldron was tattered and broken. If not for the immortal Great Dao aura flowing from it, it would look like a pile of scrap iron.
*Hum—*
Numerous blood glows appeared on the cauldron's walls. These were the blood glows left behind from battling various Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants, from injuring them. At this moment, each blood glow shone and detached from the cauldron wall, transforming into clusters of blood suspended in Ye Chen's palm.
Gazing at these clusters of Great Dao blood, each one seemed to harbor an ancient Emperor slumbering within. Emperor might and Immortal might flickered faintly, and a Supreme-level aura permeated, releasing an immortal light. This was the greatest harvest from this campaign.
Ye Chen licked his lips. Now, several flesh bodies emerged from within him—these were the flesh bodies of the suppressed Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants. Their flesh, blood, and bones had been devoured by the Chaos Great Cauldron and autonomously restored into flesh bodies. Now they shone, and from each, a cluster of blood flew out.
Just from what was before him, the collected blood of Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants numbered over ninety, almost a hundred.
These bloods of Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants before him were the most precious items. Their value to Ye Chen was in no way inferior to the Emperor Dao inheritances of ancient Emperors.
The true purpose of the Worldless Monarch having Ye Chen fight each of the Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants from the various heavens was not only to allow the human race to better understand their respective combat strengths—to know oneself and know the enemy—but more importantly, it was to be able to collect their blood.
Because this blood held an ineffably great use for Ye Chen, who cultivated the Chaos Dao.
"I cultivate the Chaos Dao. Although I have now achieved a Chaos Saint Body and am already approaching the Divine King realm, truthfully, I have not traveled far on the Chaos Path. It's merely the initial formation of the Chaos Dao, far from Great Perfection, let alone Great Completion. The road ahead is still long and distant."
"Perhaps I've had many opportunities along the way, possessing the Chaos Insights left by Emperors like Tai Sheng Huang and Emperor Ni Qiang. Tai Sheng Huang's Chaos Insights are even infinitely close to true Great Perfection. But ultimately, they belong to others. Even if I completely digest them, it would only be like Tai Sheng Huang back then—a single step away, a single thread away. I might even be confined to the Chaos Path Tai Sheng Huang walked in his time, unable to truly transcend even after countless eons."
"Therefore, I cannot walk the Chaos Path others have trodden before. I must use the Chaos Dao I initially cultivated as the foundation for everything, reconstructing a brand new Chaos Path, using the Chaos Insights of others for reference!"
"Perhaps this Chaos Path's future is uncertain, but it is also full of hope."
Ye Chen clearly understood that if he simply digested all the Chaos Insights bestowed by Tai Sheng Huang, he would eventually reach a state infinitely close to the Great Perfection of Chaos, which would be countless times easier than arduously comprehending on his own.
But he would also ultimately be confined to the Chaos Path Tai Sheng Huang had walked.
It was like how the various Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans left behind Emperor Scriptures and Immortal Scriptures. The Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants even received the Emperor Dao and Immortal Dao inheritances established by their parents. But even if they reached the extreme, they could not surpass their parents. Throughout history, there haven't been many stories of Supreme descendants truly becoming Emperors.
This is the limitation!
Back then, someone as dazzling as Tai Sheng Huang, the strongest Emperor, shaking the ancient and modern eras, peerless and invincible, still could not take that final step. As an inheritor walking Tai Sheng Huang's Chaos Path to its ultimate end, even if I reach the end, I will inevitably be confined, with no hope of taking that final step.
If he wanted to defy the world and break through, to truly achieve Great Perfection of the Chaos Great Dao, he must rely on himself to walk his own Chaos Path. Only then would there be a sliver of possibility for success.
Now, he was already standing on the shoulders of a giant like Tai Sheng Huang, which would make things much easier.
The blood of these Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants before him was also key.
The essence of the Dao techniques cultivated in each Ancient Chaos Universe also differed somewhat. Moreover, Emperors and Supreme Immortals had cultivated a certain Great Dao to its absolute peak.
They were all Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants from the various Ancient Chaos Universes within the Chaos Sea. Their bodies flowed with the purest Emperor Dao and Immortal Dao bloodline power. To some extent, it was even Emperor Blood and Immortal Blood, just not fully awakened yet.
If he could thoroughly research this blood, it would be equivalent to researching the various Ancient Chaos Universes, even the Emperor Dao and Immortal Dao of the Emperors and Supreme Immortals from all heavens. It could be said that for his cultivation of the Chaos Great Dao, this would be of unparalleled help. To some degree, it was not inferior to Tai Sheng Huang's Chaos Insights.
Back then, Tai Sheng Huang relied on himself, groping alone step by step. Now, he had the shoulders of a great man like Tai Sheng Huang to stand on. He could also research the bloodlines of the Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants from all heavens, allowing for better comprehension and better construction of his Chaos Path, not needing to slowly grope like the sages of old.
"Moreover, I am a Chaos Young Supreme. If I want to charge into the Divine King realm, I'm afraid the first Divine King Tribulation will be extremely powerful. However, if I refine and fuse this blood of Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants to form the strongest Chaos Dao Blood, it would likely surpass my current Chaos Heart Blood, making things much smoother."
Ye Chen murmured softly to himself. In summary, this Great Dao blood of the Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants held unparalleled benefits. In the future, when he wanted to charge into the Divine King realm, he would need to rely on this blood to a certain extent.
