In the end, the two supreme Quasi-Monarchs still did not engage in battle.
During this period, Ye Chen had also appeared.
This Battle Saint King, who was the reincarnation of a Great Emperor and had suppressed all the attacking powerhouses from the forces of the All Heavens, was far too renowned. Whether it was his supreme Saint Sovereign body or his ability to rival a Quasi-Monarch as a Nine Tribulations Divine King, his fame was immense. No one could truly ignore him.
Even though he remained silent throughout, merely watching the envoys from the forces of the All Heavens, not only the other Divine King envoys but even the five Quasi-Monarchs felt a trace of pressure.
This negotiation lasted a full three months.
However, even after three months, the negotiations had not concluded, as neither side was willing to concede, each holding firm to their own stance with great forcefulness.
Regarding this, the three Ancient Monarchs of the human race turned a blind eye, even viewing it favorably.
The longer the delay, the more beneficial it was for the human race, as their geniuses could cultivate within the Fallen Heaven Mausoleum for an even longer period.
By the time he observed this negotiation, Ye Chen had already restored his own condition to its peak.
On this day, he directly turned and left, no longer appearing.
After obtaining the price paid by the various races for the Saint Sovereign body's inability to act, he demanded quite a few supreme treasures, such as Primordial Immortal Light, and immediately began refining an Ancient Monarch puppet.
Finally, Ye Chen had fully recovered, his essence, energy, and spirit reaching their highest point.
On this day, he invited the Sun Sovereign to eradicate the True Spirit of the Sovereign of Colors.
The Sovereign of Colors's monarchial Heavenly Soul was released. The moment it appeared, it roared throughout the Extinction Emperor Realm.
"Battle Saint King, this Monarch will make you die!"
"Noisy!"
The Sun Sovereign spoke indifferently, a single palm covering the sky. Even though this was the monarchial Heavenly Soul of an Ancient Monarch, even though it was as vast and profound as an abyss and sea, under the Sun Sovereign's hand, it seemed utterly powerless to resist.
Boom—
Resplendent light shot into the sky, solar radiance overwhelming the All Heavens, further suppressing the Sovereign of Colors's monarchial Heavenly Soul.
"It's you, Sun Sovereign!"
The Sovereign of Colors's expression changed completely. Facing the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, the Sovereign of Colors believed he still had some power to resist, but facing the Sun Sovereign was far from the case.
The overwhelming solar flames descended from the heavens with majestic force, inundating every corner of the world, carrying a dense monarchial heavenly might that wantonly incinerated his monarchial Heavenly Soul.
Here, strands of imperial majesty emerged, elevating this solar essence fire to an unknown degree, making it utterly terrifying.
"Ah—"
The Sovereign of Colors let out a shrill, miserable scream. At this moment, he finally felt the terror of death.
"No, this Monarch is a generation's Ancient Monarch, a hegemon of the universe. I cannot die like this."
The Sovereign of Colors roared at the heavens, filled with immense unwillingness. The power of his monarchial Heavenly Soul wantonly surged, shattering the heavens and earth, an unimaginably terrifying sight.
He wanted to break through the prison, and his will sought to penetrate the Extinction Emperor Realm to summon the Supreme Imperial Weapon of the Nine Colors Emperor Clan, hoping for a sliver of survival.
"It's useless. Under the blockade of two Emperor Worlds, you cannot summon a Supreme Imperial Weapon."
The Sun Sovereign's voice was calm, yet also icy and merciless, causing the Sovereign of Colors's expression to turn extremely ugly, filled with thick despair.
At the final step, the Sovereign of Colors knew he was doomed.
He would indeed not become a slave, but the consequence was even more tragic—he would be refined into a puppet.
Boom—
With the Sun Sovereign's action, the True Spirit within the Sovereign of Colors's vast Heavenly Soul could no longer endure, continuously disintegrating and annihilating until, in the end, it was utterly reduced to ashes, leaving only a powerful, peerless monarchial Heavenly Soul here, ownerless and without consciousness.
The True Spirit was the most important; the divine soul was secondary.
A body without a divine soul was merely an empty shell.
A divine soul without a True Spirit was also merely an empty shell.
Looking at such a vast mass of monarchial Heavenly Soul, Ye Chen suddenly did not want to refine an Ancient Monarch puppet.
He already had a Great Emperor Reincarnation Body as an Ancient Monarch-level avatar, one that was even far more powerful, having directly suppressed the Sovereign of Colors.
Moreover, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body could not be used in this war below the monarch level, and the same applied to an Ancient Monarch puppet.
If that were the case, he might as well completely refine this mass of monarchial Heavenly Soul. It would undoubtedly allow him to advance further, far surpassing other Quasi-Monarchs in terms of divine soul.
He also voiced his thoughts. After hearing them, the Sun Sovereign nodded: "Indeed, if you wish to refine a monarchial Heavenly Soul, you will gain great benefits, significantly enhancing your divine soul power. Moreover, the monarchial Heavenly Soul possesses monarchial heavenly might. After refinement, your divine soul will also possess a portion of that might, benefiting immensely."
"However, you must understand one point: this is ultimately soul power cultivated by another, not soul power you have cultivated step by step. Even if it strengthens you, there will be flaws. I do not advise you to completely refine all of the monarchial Heavenly Soul, though you likely cannot fully refine it anyway; there will ultimately be limits to what you can absorb."
"This junior understands." Ye Chen understood the Sun Sovereign's meaning; he had known this point for years.
However, these issues had been preliminarily resolved over these years.
His Chaos Saint Soul was special. Chaos was the origin of all Daos and all things, capable of containing everything, even other divine souls. It could refine them, and over the long years, they would inevitably become soul power belonging to him.
Therefore, this was why he chose to refine the monarchial Heavenly Soul instead of crafting an Ancient Monarch puppet.
Facing the Sun Sovereign, who was like half a senior brother to him, Ye Chen informed him of all this.
The Sun Sovereign also revealed a trace of surprise and doubt. He knew the Chaos Saint Body and Chaos Saint Soul were special, but he had not expected them to be special to this extent, capable of containing everything and completely making it their own.
Finally, he nodded: "Since that is the case, I, as your senior brother, will not stop you. But do not advance too quickly, to avoid leaving flaws that would be detrimental to your future cultivation. You should also understand the importance of a solid Dao foundation for climbing to the pinnacle of the Great Dao."
After offering a few words of caution, the Sun Sovereign also left the Extinction Emperor Realm.
Ye Chen did not immediately begin refining. After silently meditating for seven days and seven nights, he finally let out a long breath of turbid air, his gaze clear and bright, and began refining the boundless monarchial Heavenly Soul.
Boom—
Ye Chen took out the Sovereign of Colors's monarchial Heavenly Soul, whose True Spirit had been extinguished. Instantly, it was like a boundless ocean, vast and majestic, overwhelming the entire sky, carrying a dense monarchial heavenly might.
He marveled at it. If a Quasi-Monarch's soul power was like a lake, then an Ancient Monarch's soul power was an ocean, surpassing it by who knows how many times in both quantity and quality.
Swish—
From the brows of Ye Chen's true body and his Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, two Chaos Saint Soul figures emerged, transforming into streams of light that directly plunged into the abyssal, sea-like vast soul power of the monarchial Heavenly Soul.
Moreover, chaotic Dao flames ignited around them, continuously refining this stream of monarchial Heavenly Soul power, eliminating the dross.
