During this continuous refining process, it was visible to the naked eye that Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Soul Little Person was rapidly improving at a rather astonishing speed.
Although not as fast as when he refined the strand of Junwang Heavenly Soul power intercepted from the reincarnated body of a great emperor back then, it was still quite remarkable.
This refining continued for a full two months.
Throughout this period, Ye Chen's Soul Divine Power was constantly in a state of enhancement.
Finally, after two months, he had to actively stop the refining.
Because this enhancement also had its limits; after all, one could not refine and improve without restriction.
At the peak level of the Nine Tribulations Divine King, he could fully sense that his own Soul Divine Power was more than double that of an ordinary Quasi-Monarch's Soul Divine Power.
However, due to the restrictions of his realm, he was greatly limited. His Soul Divine Power had already reached a relatively saturated state; even wanting to improve the slightest bit further was very difficult.
Ye Chen sighed, feeling somewhat regretful, but also quite content.
Otherwise, if he could fully refine all the Junwang Heavenly Soul power, wouldn't he be able to instantly rival the level of an Ancient Monarch, completely crushing Quasi-Monarchs? That would be far too heaven-defying; the Heavenly Dao would not permit such a thing.
Otherwise, those Imperial Sons and Daughters, the offspring of Immortal Dao, with Emperors and Supreme Immortals as their fathers, could also slay Ancient Monarchs and have the Junwang Heavenly Souls grant them unlimited refining.
Sensing the immense soul power of the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person, Ye Chen could feel that even just this Chaos Saint Soul Little Person alone was likely enough to battle a Quasi-Monarch without fear of being shattered.
Of course, the divine soul was ultimately the divine soul; it could never compare to the physical body. Only when combined with the physical body could it unleash the most comprehensive and supreme power.
Moreover, he could feel a sense of stiffness when circulating the soul power.
Clearly, this was a side effect of refining too much Junwang Heavenly Soul power. After all, it was someone else's soul power, forcibly refined for his own use. Although it could greatly enhance him, wanting to completely make it his own would require some time, even with the special nature of the Chaos Saint Soul.
However, Ye Chen was not worried. With a flip of his palm, a mass of chaotic light appeared, rippling with the origin power of the Ten Thousand Daos of all heavens. Through this mass of chaotic light, one could clearly sense the origin power of the Ten Thousand Daos of all heavens and comprehend the supreme Heavenly Dao. This was precisely the Chaos Source Liquid that the Sun Sovereign had obtained from the Henggu Sovereign.
The Sun Sovereign was originally a peerless Monarch, infinitely close to an Ancient Emperor. Currently, he was merely in a period of cultivation recovery and had no need to rely on the Chaos Source Liquid.
Although it was also very useful for the two Ancient Monarchs, Sword Heaven Sovereign and Tongtian Sovereign, the Chaos Source Liquid could exert its greatest effect only on a Chaos young generation's supreme like Ye Chen, who cultivated the Great Dao of Chaos.
Swoosh—
Ye Chen carefully made a cutting motion with his palm, separating a portion of Chaos Source Liquid no larger than a baby's fist, and directly had the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person devour and refine it.
Visible to the naked eye, the chaotic light on the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person suddenly became many times more fiery. Moreover, strands of order divine chains appeared, all constructed from Chaos Origin Dao Principles, intertwining and flickering incessantly, with the Ten Thousand Daos rising and falling, appearing very mysterious.
At this moment, the Chaos Saint Soul Little Person resembled a Chaos Deity, transcending the mundane and entering the sacred. All around it, the laws of the Ten Thousand Daos manifested, with the Ten Thousand Daos encircling and guarding it.
Here, astonishing changes were taking place.
The powerful soul power that had been refined originally contained chaotic light that was somewhat faint and illusory. But at this moment, as the Chaos Origin was continuously refined, the chaotic light within the soul power became increasingly turbulent and fiery.
Thus, a full five months passed before everything gradually calmed down.
The Ten Thousand Dao Laws disappeared, and the Chaos Order Divine Chains also disintegrated and dissipated, leaving only the central Chaos Saint Soul Little Person, whose chaotic light remained as fiery as the sun.
The current Chaos Saint Soul Little Person, the size of a normal person, emitted a crystalline radiance from its entire body. Chaotic light circulated, faintly revealing the laws of the Ten Thousand Daos of all heavens, appearing very mysterious.
"I never expected that with my current ability as a Nine Tribulations Divine King, refining this baby-fist-sized mass of Chaos Source Liquid would also require nearly half a year to completely refine."
The Chaos Saint Soul let out a long sigh, its gaze clear.
However, it distinctly felt that the stiffness in manipulating the immense soul power had disappeared. Now, when circulating it, there was a special smoothness and naturalness.
Clearly, the Chaos Source Liquid had taken effect, actually allowing Ye Chen to completely transform the refined immense Junwang Heavenly Soul power into his own, becoming the purest Chaos Saint Soul power that he could command as easily as his own limbs.
A slight hint of joy appeared on Ye Chen's expression. Indeed, the Chaos Source Liquid had infinite wondrous uses for him as a Chaos young generation's supreme.
"Chaos Source Liquid, even for Ancient Monarchs, can become a shortcut to the Supreme One. Long-term refining can bring great benefits, continuously improving cultivation. It is a truly priceless treasure. Even compared to Chaos Immortal Gold, it is somewhat superior."
He mused to himself. This Chaos Source Liquid was too precious, but unfortunately, it was not very useful for the Sun Sovereign.
The Sun Sovereign had already achieved the Monarch realm back in the Mythological Era, and was a king-like powerhouse among Monarchs. His realm was too high; the Chaos Source Liquid's effect on someone of his level was already minimal.
Now, he had handed it over to Ye Chen, hoping to help him become an Ancient Monarch sooner.
He could see that once Ye Chen became an Ancient Monarch, he would be an invincible Chaos Monarch, which would be of great use to the Sealed Universe.
Moreover, his cultivation speed would inevitably surpass that of other Ancient Monarchs.
Proving the Supreme One position was just around the corner!
Therefore, the other two Ancient Monarchs, Tongtian Sovereign and Sword Heaven Sovereign, suppressed the fervor in their hearts and refrained from using the Chaos Source Liquid.
For the Sun Sovereign's kindness, Ye Chen felt immense gratitude beyond words. He could only silently remember it in his heart, to repay it someday when the opportunity arose.
"Unfortunately, the enhancement of the divine soul has reached its limit. Unless I break through to Quasi-Monarch, I cannot continue to improve to the limit."
Ye Chen sensed his current boundary; the next step was Quasi-Monarch.
But Ye Chen was unwilling to become a Quasi-Monarch just like that.
The Nine Tribulations of the Divine King were originally created to serve as a span between Great Ability and Monarch. Moreover, some people could undergo a Tenth Tribulation, or even Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth Tribulations, etc., to complete themselves and mend their flaws.
Similarly, even for the strongest young generation's supreme, for whom the Nine Tribulations of the Divine King were already the limit, he also wanted to continuously break through this limit shackle and further enhance himself, even if the effect was not strong. He was determined to do so.
"I, Ye Chen, refuse to believe there is truly no way at all. I vow to break through the Nine Tribulation shackle of the strongest young generation's supreme and forge a Tenth Tribulation!"
Ye Chen's will was firm, vowing to break through the Nine Tribulation shackle of the strongest young generation's supreme Divine King!
At the same time, during the five months he spent refining the Chaos Source Liquid, the human race had also completed their true negotiations with the envoys of the various heavens' powers.
