This was only because Ye Chen had held back; otherwise, shattering the physical body of an Eight Tribulation Divine King would not have been difficult for him, even if it was an Emperor-Son-level divine body.
At the same time, an unparalleled soul force bloomed from between Ye Chen's eyebrows, and a Chaos Saint Soul in the form of a Heaven-Earth Giant manifested, letting out a great roar towards the North Desolate Evil Emperor.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
In an instant, thousands upon thousands of layers of soul force swept across the heavens and earth, bombarding the North Desolate Evil Emperor, causing his already lacerated and torn flesh to blast apart completely.
His true form appeared—it was still Yun Aotian, his entire body wreathed in blazing Faith Power, which was now burning fiercely and comprehensively, transforming into a Quasi-Monarch might that surpassed the Divine King realm.
The North Desolate Evil Emperor was now akin to a true Great Emperor Divine King, his imposing aura rising steadily.
So magnificent, so towering, so majestic.
Now, with the North Desolate Evil Emperor completely burning his infinite Faith Power, he was truly terrifying. A divine staff appeared in his hand, radiating billions of layers of faith light. He bypassed the scattered flesh, blood, and bones from Shen Rong's exploding body and actively charged towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was utterly fearless, standing firm within the Quasi-Monarch domain. He truly feared no one; even if a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch stood before him, he would dare to truly battle.
Boom—
The collision was in no way inferior to his previous clash with the Chaos Thunder God.
But Ye Chen stood firm as a mountain, Chaos light surging, dissolving everything. The North Desolate Evil Emperor, however, was sent flying backward, staggering as drops of blood scattered.
Clearly, the North Desolate Evil Emperor was no match for Ye Chen.
"You actually possess the power of a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch? No wonder you could pass the tenfold Emperor Hall trials left by the Primordial Prison Demon Emperor. Truly extraordinary," the North Desolate Evil Emperor said with an ugly expression, never expecting to have encountered such a hard stone. This junior Ye Chen was far more powerful than imagined.
Ye Chen continued forward, his fingers and palms overflowing with strands of Sovereign rules that tore through everything as he attacked the North Desolate Evil Emperor, saying coldly, "This is not something you Supremes can participate in. Return to dust, return to earth. Go back to where you belong."
The North Desolate Evil Emperor's figure was sent flying, unable to match him. After all, he had only reached this step by relying on the Faith Power accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years. Otherwise, with Yun Aotian's body being merely a mere Five Tribulation Divine King, how could he truly battle a genuine Quasi-Monarch?
Boom—
The North Desolate Evil Emperor burned the Faith Power accumulated around his body over hundreds of thousands of years, his power rising steadily. He collided with Ye Chen in a single strike, causing the spatial channel to show signs of crumbling inch by inch. However, the Supreme teleportation platform emitted wisps of light again, stabilizing it.
During this time, the North Desolate Evil Emperor reached out with his hand and actually seized over seventy percent of the flesh, blood, and bones from Shen Rong's exploded body. Then, with a flicker of his figure, he charged towards the collapsing part of the spatial channel.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Ye Chen's eyes sharpened. How could he allow the other to escape? But the North Desolate Evil Emperor flicked a finger, sending the Emperor Treasure that enveloped Shen Rong's divine soul infant flying towards another collapsing part of the spatial channel.
If he didn't grab it quickly, it could easily be lost. Trying to find Shen Rong again within the infinite starry sky would be countless times more difficult.
Helplessly, Ye Chen could only choose one over the other, charging towards Shen Rong's divine soul infant and grabbing it.
"Hahaha, junior Ye Chen, you made the right choice."
At this moment, the North Desolate Evil Emperor had already charged out from the collapsing part of the spatial channel, his figure gradually disappearing.
At the final moment, Ye Chen, without a word, directly slapped out a palm, carrying vast Chaos power, rushing into the direction of the North Desolate Evil Emperor's escape.
Pfft—
In the end, only a splatter of blood light was seen, along with a faint roar of anger echoing.
In the cosmic starry sky, space tore apart, and a blood-soaked figure emerged from within. Half of his body was blasted apart, tattered and in a sorry state.
Although his body was wreathed in billions of halos, with three thousand halos faintly appearing, and billions of living beings seemingly bowing and worshipping, Faith Power was infinite and endless.
He was precisely the North Desolate Evil Emperor. Never expected that at the final moment, he too had been injured by Ye Chen. That slap had nearly blasted him apart, shattering half his body, leaving him tattered and covered in blood.
"What a junior Ye Chen, daring to injure This Emperor. This Emperor will make you repay this debt," the North Desolate Evil Emperor said with a very unpleasant expression. Then, looking at the mass of flesh and bones floating before him, shimmering with powerful Supreme bloodline—its boiling blood causing the starry sky to tremble and the sun, moon, and stars to dim—he slowly revealed a hint of joy. "Although the various heavens' Supremes of that year could not participate in person, who said other means could not be employed? Today, This Emperor will reshape a supreme physical body and also compete for that 'Ultimate Supreme'!"
"Other Supremes, let us meet in the final decisive battle as well. Let's see whose backup plan will prove superior!"
Boom—
The North Desolate Evil Emperor took the flesh and bones and tore through space to leave...
Inside the spatial channel, Ye Chen waved his hand, summoning the remaining thirty percent of flesh and bones, allowing Shen Rong's divine soul to return to it for reconstruction.
However, missing seventy percent of his physical body, although it could regenerate later, the newly regenerated fleshly body was far inferior to the tempered divine body of before, becoming a flaw.
Moreover, seventy percent of his Supreme bloodline was also missing, requiring a very long time to slowly recover.
"It's fine, I'm still alive," Shen Rong said optimistically after his fleshly body was reborn, though his aura had weakened considerably.
"I never expected such an Emperor Supreme to be so shameless. If we meet in the future, I will surely slay him," Ye Chen said steadily. He rarely spoke harsh words nowadays, but the North Desolate Evil Emperor's despicable means made him ashamed to call him a Great Emperor.
Looking at Shen Rong's weakened aura, Ye Chen also thought of some methods. In the end, he used his own Chaos Saint Blood to temper Shen Rong's physical body once more, solidifying it further, but it still couldn't compare to his original divine body.
There was no other way; only slow recovery later on.
As long as his origin remained, Shen Rong would eventually return to his former peak state.
To avoid such a situation from occurring again, Ye Chen had no choice but to be stern. He used his absolutely powerful divine sense to forcibly search the souls of the four Divine Dynasty Divine Kings. Although they felt aggrieved, they dared not resist.
Finally, after ensuring that the four Divine Dynasty Divine Kings had no hidden dangers like Yun Aotian, he nodded slightly. However, he also had the Great Emperor reincarnation body stand high within the Extinction Emperor Realm, constantly guarding the billions of living beings on the Desolate Ancient Star, unwilling to allow the slightest accident to occur again.
Under this calm, they continued their spatial travel.
Half a month later, they finally reached the very end of the spatial channel. The group stepped out from the spatial channel on the Supreme teleportation platform, landing on a star.
This starry sky was exceptionally brilliant, with an extraordinary number of stars from the various heavens. Stars orbited one another, radiating brilliant starlight.
Ahead, a supercontinent was manifesting, suspended at the edge of the starry sky, vast and immense beyond imagination, its borders unseen at a glance.
"Is this the Tenth Heaven Ancient Domain?"
Everyone who saw it felt awe in their hearts, sensing the grandeur of the Tenth Heaven Ancient Domain.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen said, leading everyone across the sky, swiftly charging towards that supercontinent.
