Time flowed, and soon, half a year had passed.
During these six months, Ye Chen finally succeeded in completely refining the remaining three Sovereign Origin Worlds.
Since the three Sovereign Origin Worlds varied in size, with some even larger than the Sovereign Great Worlds of Futu Zhan and Mohe Kong, the speed of refinement differed, and naturally, the extent of enhancement for the Origin Small Universe also varied.
In the end, the Origin Small Universe expanded to a diameter of 3.8 million li.
Its volume had increased severalfold compared to half a year ago.
The power of Universe Origin Ye Chen could command at this point reached a level fully comparable to fifteen hundred Monarch Rules.
The enhancement of his Form and Spirit also matched over a thousand Monarch Rules.
Combined with the Monarch Rule power he had mastered.
Three thousand Monarch Rule forces were in no way inferior to a First Heaven Monarch.
Paired with the Chaos Great Cauldron, which was no weaker than a Monarch Immortal Weapon, in every aspect, Ye Chen truly had no difference from a First Heaven Monarch.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Ye Chen felt a sense of completion in his Chaos Supreme Body and the Chaos Supreme Soul avatar.
Clearly, his Form and Spirit had been elevated to an extreme. The power of Form and Spirit alone was enough to rival the strongest state of a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch, and even a First Heaven Monarch was far inferior.
He knew that for now, the Origin Small Universe could not continue devouring Great World Origin, or else his Form and Spirit would burst.
After all, he was still only a Quasi-Monarch.
Of course, Ye Chen felt this was not his limit yet; he could still improve further.
The Quasi-Monarchs of the Eternal Path were not limited to such capabilities.
Perhaps he needed other methods to make his Form and Spirit even stronger, enabling him to continue accepting the enhancement of Universe Radiance.
Moreover, the number of Monarch Rules could indeed continue to increase.
"I'll refine the Flame Emperor Origin left by Elder Flame as well." Ye Chen continued to sit cross-legged on the great roc, quietly refining the Flame Emperor Origin. Directly facing the Emperor-level Fire Great Dao for cultivation, he also sensed a wisp of Chaos Fire Origin's aura. His comprehension of the Fire Great Dao immediately increased a thousandfold, and soon, Fire-attribute Monarch Rules began to condense.
Ten days later, he successfully cultivated one Fire-attribute Monarch Rule, a cultivation speed that could be called world-shaking.
Even a Fire-attribute Ancient Monarch would find it difficult to cultivate a Fire Monarch Rule in such a short time.
However, the Flame Emperor mastered the most fundamental Chaos Fire Origin, hailed as the Emperor of Fire, the foremost in the Chaos Sea. The Flame Emperor Origin he left behind was naturally extraordinary.
In the blink of an eye, another three months passed, and Ye Chen successfully cultivated twelve Fire-attribute Monarch Rules.
Though the boost to his strength was minimal.
The advantage lay in being able to walk a longer path.
By now, Ye Chen had already been away from the Sealed Universe for over ten months.
The Great Power-level Heavenly Roc finally carried Ye Chen to the deepest part of the Primordial Immortal Realm. Ahead lay an infinitely vast uninhabited zone, harboring terrifying dangers. Under normal circumstances, even Divine Kings were unwilling to set foot here lightly.
This was the transitional zone between the Primordial Immortal Realm and the Origin Ancient Path.
Ye Chen, standing on the great roc, charged directly into this transitional zone.
The transitional zone was also quite vast. With the roc spreading its wings, covering hundreds of millions of li in a day, it still wasn't the end. He also sensed many powerful auras, including Great Powers and Heavenly Kings, but under the Great Power-level aura of the Heavenly Roc, none came to disturb him, making the journey quite peaceful.
However, obstacles were soon encountered.
On the second day, while crossing a region of a million great mountains, a monkey's roar shook the nine heavens.
Boom—
A Divine King-level great terror shattered ten thousand li of mountains and rivers as it appeared. A huge, furry hand reached out, capable of plucking stars from the sky, grabbing toward the Great Power-level Heavenly Roc flying in the heavens. A terrifying pressure rushed forth.
Clearly, it saw the Heavenly Roc as prey and considered its flight a provocation of its territory.
A dignified Divine King would not tolerate a Great Power challenging its domain; it had to make an example, to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys—it must be executed!
On the back of the Heavenly Roc, Ye Chen merely opened his eyes a slit. With a flick of his finger, a sword ray flew out, severing this huge hand. Blood rain sprayed boundlessly, extremely bloody, causing turmoil in this region.
That Divine King-level great ape, knowing Ye Chen was troublesome, grabbed its severed hand and decisively retreated.
Ye Chen paid no further attention, closing his eyes to continue cultivation.
However, this transitional zone was far from as quiet as imagined. Along the subsequent journey, he encountered dangers multiple times, at least at the Super Great Power level. More than half involved Divine King-level beings taking action, and twice, there were even Quasi-Monarch-level existences, utterly terrifying.
Finally, a trace of anger surfaced in Ye Chen.
He decided to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!
"Do you really think I, Ye, am easy to bully?"
Simply, Ye Chen just slapped out with both palms left and right. In the blink of an eye, they penetrated infinite space, appearing above the two Quasi-Monarch-level existences, forming million-li-giant Chaos palm imprints that descended heavily with world-destroying, earth-shattering force.
Boom— Boom—
In the transitional zone, two Quasi-Monarch-level great terrors, hailed as overlords, were utterly annihilated. Two million-li-giant palm imprints, ten thousand li deep, appeared on the ground.
Originally, everything was reduced to dust, ceasing to exist.
The terrifying attack also shook the entire vast transitional zone. Countless great terrors and giant demons were terrified, all knowing how fearsome that handsome young human sitting cross-legged on the Heavenly Roc was, likely a Great Perfection or even Heaven-Defying level Quasi-Monarch, not far from an Ancient Monarch.
Such an existence was far beyond what they could provoke.
From then on, the journey became many times quieter, with no further obstructions.
Even the deepest parts of the transitional zone knew that the human supreme expert sitting on the Heavenly Roc was not to be provoked.
On this journey, they flew for another full month. Ye Chen even sensed Ancient Monarch-level great terrors lurking in this boundless region, making him quite expectant, eager to battle an Ancient Monarch to see his true current strength.
However, perhaps knowing Ye Chen was troublesome to deal with, these Ancient Monarch-level great terrors did not take action, lurking deep within, only occasionally sweeping over with massive divine senses, nothing more.
"A bit disappointing."
Ye Chen sighed lightly, nor did he actively provoke them.
In this quiet, he also cultivated three more Fire-attribute Monarch Rules.
Not long after, he successfully crossed the transitional zone, arriving at a brand new, magnificent heaven and earth.
The Origin Ancient Path!
