Ye Chen stored the Sovereign Pills within his body.
If he became weakened, he could devour these Sovereign Pills to restore his power.
Of course, these Sovereign Pills were crudely and forcibly condensed, not yet true refined pills.
If they were re-refined in a furnace with many precious supplementary materials, their medicinal efficacy could be enhanced further, perhaps even refined into heaven-defying divine pills capable of bringing the dead back to life.
Rumble—
An even more terrifying heavenly tribulation began to descend, covering a territory vastly greater than before.
Ye Chen was forced to helplessly endure the baptism of the heavenly tribulation. At this moment, the tribulation had escalated to a level that could even harm a Chaos Supreme Body that had reached the Sovereign level. His skin began to split and flesh tear.
Of course, it still couldn't harm his foundation.
The Chaos Supreme Body was nearly indestructible and imperishable, difficult to injure.
What he found regrettable was that the various alien Sovereigns and Monarchs had all retreated far beyond the range of the heavenly tribulation, leaving him with no recourse. Even if he wanted to chase them while carrying the tribulation, they could instantly shift their positions.
Especially when a Monarch moved, even Ye Chen after his promotion to Sovereign was far inferior in speed; the gap remained immense.
The remaining alien armies were also kept close by the Monarchs, preventing them from being further annihilated by the heavenly tribulation.
"Sigh, truly a bunch of cowards. What else can they do besides run?" Ye Chen shook his head and sighed.
"..."
A group of alien Sovereigns and Monarchs cursed inwardly. If you weren't so despicable, running over with the heavenly tribulation, who would flee like a ghost?
Though they said this, for the proud alien race, hailed as the number one Chaos Ancient Universe in the Chaos Sea, to be chased down like stray dogs today was nothing short of a disgrace.
If looks could kill, they would have slain this Battle Saint King countless billions of times over.
Yet they were helpless. The Battle Saint King was simply too monstrous and heaven-defying. If it were an ordinary person's Sovereign Great Tribulation, they wouldn't fear it at all. But facing the Sovereign Great Tribulation of an Eternal Sovereign, they were genuinely terrified.
Moreover, this Sovereign Great Tribulation was already so terrifying in its early stages; it was hard to imagine how utterly horrifying it would become later.
Of course, they also sneered coldly, wishing for this Sovereign Great Tribulation to be as terrifying as possible, hoping it would completely annihilate the Battle Saint King into dust. That way, the alien Ancient Universe would eliminate a great future threat.
Ye Chen had no choice but to undergo his tribulation before the Tenth Emperor's Pass, also to block alien powerhouses from taking the opportunity to invade.
Thus, a full day and night passed, with the Sovereign Great Tribulation growing increasingly violent.
In the later stages, Ye Chen wasn't just skin-split and flesh-torn; blood flowed freely. The moment his Chaos Supreme Blood splattered, it was instantly incinerated into nothingness by the most terrifying tribulation, reduced to tribulation dust.
Fortunately, after becoming an Ancient Sovereign, his vitality surpassed his former self. Moreover, with the support of the Tree of Life within him, his injuries healed the instant they appeared, keeping him in a state of flawless perfection.
Shockingly, even at this time, he still had the mind to refine his two great Dao Weapons—the Chaos Great Cauldron and the Gate of Seals—using the endless heavenly tribulation for repeated tempering, constantly elevating them.
Meanwhile, on the Tenth Emperor's Pass, a human Supreme One had long since appeared.
Surprisingly, it was not the Human Sovereign, nor the Formless Sovereign, but an unfamiliar Supreme One.
He was an aged Supreme One, seemingly with one foot in the coffin, his blood energy appearing weak and decayed, like the twilight of a setting sun.
Generally, upon stepping into the Supreme One realm, lifespan directly extended to infinity, impervious to the erosion of time and decay. As long as no accidents occurred, one would exist eternally; living as long as the sun and moon wouldn't be enough to describe it.
Yet here was such a Supreme One, on the verge of death, with decaying blood energy—truly unbelievable.
This shouldn't be.
But the Seven Sovereigns knew that this decaying human Supreme One was actually an ancient Great Emperor from the Mythical Era. After the Great Shattering of the Mythical Era, he suffered the most severe injuries and fell into slumber, much like the Flame Emperor of old, sleeping for countless ages.
In recent years, during the great war between the two armies across the Myriad Domains, a sealed Chaos Pure Land was accidentally broken open, revealing this slumbering human Supreme One.
When discovered, the human Supreme One was still asleep, his blood energy continuously weakening and decaying—clearly the result of a terrifying Emperor Curse.
Only when the Human Sovereign personally arrived, supplementing with Human Sovereign Emperor Blood and using a rare ten-stage peerless divine pill from a Mythical Era relic, did this human Supreme One truly revive.
Xuan Shen Great Emperor was the name of this human Supreme One. Though revived from slumber, his injuries were too severe, and the Emperor Curse remained unsolved, causing his blood energy to plummet, appearing decayed, aged, and frail.
He stood trembling on the Tenth Emperor's Pass, as if a gust of wind could blow him over. Yet no one dared to overlook him, not even the Seven Sovereigns beside him.
Everyone knew that over the years, even though Xuan Shen Great Emperor had not returned to his peak, he still possessed supreme methods.
Seventeen years ago, he even made a move, effortlessly obliterating six alien Ancient Sovereigns from their army, proving that even aged and frail, he remained a peerless, matchless Supreme One!
Witnessing all this, Xuan Shen Great Emperor marveled at the heaven-defying nature of the Human Sovereign Tower, sighed at the stabilizing power of the Realm Tower, and was also shocked by the terrifying Sovereign Great Tribulation of Ye Chen, the Eternal Sovereign.
"What a key figure, what a strongest inheritor of the Battle Saint, what a Chaos cultivator, what a Supreme Heaven's Pride of the Eternal Path. This Battle Saint King is indeed peerless and heaven-defying." Xuan Shen Great Emperor's evaluation was high. His appearance now ensured the Tenth Emperor's Pass was completely safe and stable. Even with the pass wide open, there was no fear.
With a Supreme Great Emperor standing guard, alien Monarchs dared not charge in.
Even though this was a severely injured ancient Great Emperor, he still possessed genuine Supreme Emperor Might.
One man holds the pass, ten thousand cannot breach it!
"Young friend, you may return within the Tenth Emperor's Pass to undergo your tribulation. The Chaos Sea is dangerous." Xuan Shen Great Emperor spoke. Though he had appeared, the alien race also had other Supreme Great Emperors stationed, even including Eternal Giants. He was, after all, not a Supreme Great Emperor at his peak and could not guarantee Ye Chen's absolute safety in the Chaos Sea.
Though this Sovereign Great Tribulation was terrifying and might potentially damage the entire Tenth Emperor's Pass, so what? As long as the Battle Saint King remained safe, that was enough. He alone was worth millions, practically representing the future hope of the entire Pangu Universe!
Ye Chen was grateful but shook his head. "Great Emperor, there's no need to worry."
He had a plan in mind and naturally wouldn't send himself to his death.
Facing the increasingly violent Sovereign Great Tribulation, drawing on past experience, he continuously charged forward, even confronting the Ten Heavenly Avatars and Emperor Shadows. Time and again, he fought his way to the highest point, facing the manifestations of the young forms of the various Great Emperors throughout history.
Naturally, as an Eternal Sovereign, Ye Chen had already surpassed the level of a Great Perfection Supreme Heaven's Pride, becoming terrifyingly more powerful by countless times. The young Great Emperors and Heavenly Avatars he once struggled against and found difficult to defeat were now nothing special before him. He could sweep through them with the most terrifying power, shattering eternity.
