Hunyue Emperor was, after all, a Chaos Saint Spirit, and even more so an indestructible Primordial Chaos Divine Mountain. His innate advantages prevented him from truly shattering into pieces, but he had still suffered the most terrifying of wounds.
However, in a true confrontation, he was clearly far inferior to Dao Shishi, the Eternal Emperor.
Even though Dao Shishi was not at his peak state, this remained the case.
If not for Hunyue Emperor being an Emperor and a Chaos Saint Spirit, an ordinary Emperor would likely have had their physical body explode from this collision, unable to withstand it.
He coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, nearly on the verge of his entire body exploding. His origin was wounded, yet he remained focused and vigilant.
At this moment, only four of Dao Shishi's ten eyes were open, the remaining six remained tightly shut.
Compared to the weakness of the ten eyes opened in the past, the four eyes now appeared exceptionally vigorous. Clearly, the four-eye state represented his most powerful period.
Dao Shishi's four eyes coldly stared at Hunyue Emperor and sneered, "Hunyue, compared to me, even though you are an Emperor formed from a Chaos Saint Spirit, you are still far inferior. Today, I shall devour you. Perhaps I will have a chance to recover more than half my strength."
The powerhouses of the Pangu Universe were all horrified.
Just the strength he displayed now was enough to overpower Hunyue Emperor. If he recovered more than half, who in the vast Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds could possibly stop him?
Hunyue Emperor snorted coldly, "Dao Shishi, I must admit you are indeed strong. But the you of now, wanting to kill me? You're still lacking. All I need to do is delay you, and that will be enough."
Meanwhile, within the Ancient Heavenly Realm, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was caught in a dilemma. After all, he could not manifest the strongest Dao Body like the Original Body could. He first glanced at the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, who was on the verge of completely breaking into the Huangji Lingxiao Hall, then looked at the Desolate Realm in its critical moment.
Taking a deep breath, he suddenly made a decision. The Original Body of Ye Chen on the 108,000 Heavenly Stairs nodded and said softly, "Original Body, I leave this place to you."
"Good!"
The Original Body nodded.
Whoosh—
In an instant, traversing endless space and crossing the entire Ancient Heavenly Realm, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body appeared in the Desolate Realm. He forcefully revived two Supreme Emperor Weapons and furiously slammed them towards Dao Shishi.
Boom—
Half of the Desolate Realm collapsed, a scene of boundless terror. Dao Shishi was sent flying, his form cracking, suffering extraordinary wounds.
Even someone as powerful as an Eternal Emperor would not dare to directly withstand two Supreme Emperor Weapons revived by an Emperor-level existence, let alone Dao Shishi, who was far from his peak state. The gap was immense.
"It's you, the Eternal Sovereign from the Battle Saint lineage. I recognize you."
Who was Dao Shishi? He directly saw through the origin of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, sensing Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Soul aura. He was also shocked, never expecting this young human junior to possess such a supreme Dao Body comparable to an Emperor.
Moreover, he could clearly sense that beneath this supreme Dao Body lay a flawless Emperor Dao origin, a true Emperor-level physical body, and even an origin Emperor World.
Apart from the soul not being at the Emperor realm and not mastering Supreme Emperor Laws, it was almost a true Ancient Emperor.
Ye Chen's second Chaos Saint Soul avatar controlled the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. His eyes flashed with cold lightning as he wielded the two Supreme Emperor Weapons, attacking Dao Shishi once more.
"Lord Dao Shishi, I will help you!"
The Alien Race Emperor shouted, about to step forward. But billions of Sovereign rules manifested, precisely from Hunyue Emperor, who stood blocking his path.
Furthermore, the many super-powerful experts of the Alien Race were once again stopped by the Chaos Supreme Body leading the Chaos Heavenly Mansion and the Mythical Emperor Clans, unable to effectively aid Dao Shishi.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body fiercely battled Dao Shishi. Wielding two Supreme Emperor Weapons revived to their maximum extent, his strength was so great he could directly contend with a true Eternal Emperor. Dao Shishi, far from his peak, was soon at a disadvantage, covered in blood. Some wounds were pierced clean through, deep enough to see bone, nearly tearing his entire body apart.
Yet, it must be said that Dao Shishi was indeed powerful. As an Eternal Emperor, even in a weakened state, he was not someone the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body could resolve in a short time. At most, he was suppressed and at a disadvantage. To kill him would require a considerable amount of time.
Especially since Dao Shishi mastered various supreme divine abilities and his control over the Great Dao rules was flawless, always managing to resolve every dangerous situation in the end. This gave the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body a sense of punching cotton, a feeling of futility.
"No need to pay too much attention to Dao Shishi. As long as we trap him here and first deal with the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, that will be enough. We can return to deal with Dao Shishi later."
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body made up his mind. Meanwhile, Ye Chen's Original Body on the 108,000 Heavenly Stairs had finally finished his preparations. His eyes snapped open with a whoosh, radiating terrifying chaotic sharpness that melted the Myriad Daos.
Ten layers of divine light circles appeared around him. Witnessing the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins advancing inch by inch into the Emperor Light Curtain, nearly entering the Huangji Lingxiao Hall, he suddenly shouted, "Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, come out!"
Boom—
A deafening roar shook the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds.
All who looked up could see that the Heavenly Dao Sun enveloping the Huangji Lingxiao Hall now derived a supreme power comparable to a Supreme One, transforming into layers of terrifying Great Dao storms that fiercely slammed into the inch-by-inch advancing Lord of the Heavenly Ruins.
With a thunderous crash, the next moment, the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, who had already pushed most of his body into the Heavenly Dao light curtain, was struck hard. His majestic, awe-inspiring figure was sent staggering back, retreating by more than half.
"The Heavenly Dao Sun?"
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins' expression changed slightly. Possessing abilities rivaling a Supreme One, he clearly sensed that an invisible bridge had been established between the Heavenly Dao Sun and Ye Chen at this moment.
Ye Chen could borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao Sun to attack him.
How was this possible?
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins found it truly hard to believe. Even he, the true master who had controlled the rise and fall of the entire Ancient Heavenly Realm since ancient times, had never controlled the Heavenly Dao Sun. At most, he could gain its recognition and use the power of 'words becoming law'.
This Battle Saint King, at most comparable to a Ninth Heaven Sovereign, was still far from an Emperor. How could he possibly move the Heavenly Dao Sun to attack him?
This point truly made him somewhat incredulous.
Cough—
Blood trickled from the corner of Ye Chen's mouth. Clearly, this also required a great price.
But for him, it was not an unbearable cost. Currently, stopping the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins was more important.
This was only possible because it was Ye Chen—the first person since the Mythical Era to break the Ninth Heaven shackles and reach the Tenth Heaven through his own power, a Chaos cultivator, an origin universe possessor, and one who had devoured two Great Dao Suns of the Ancient Heavenly Realm during the Dominator War. A convergence of various coincidences. Anyone else, even an Ancient Great Emperor, would find it difficult to resonate with the Heavenly Dao Sun.
Of course, earlier he hadn't been certain he could communicate with the Heavenly Dao Sun. He merely had the thought, believing it possible, and thus acted.
Now he discovered this thought was correct. He truly could communicate with the Heavenly Dao Sun.
Using the ten layers of divine light circles, Ye Chen silently established an unusual resonance with the Heavenly Dao Sun and attacked again.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Waves of terrifying power comparable to a Supreme One continuously blasted out, finally slamming fiercely into the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins, forcing his figure to retreat repeatedly.
"Battle Saint King!"
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins could no longer maintain his former calm and natural demeanor. How could he keep such composure? Seeing that he was about to enter the Huangji Lingxiao Hall, how could he have known that at this moment, after laying down infinite preparations since ancient times, he would be thwarted?
Streaks of azure light shot from his body, enveloping the five burning, half-consumed Forbidden Zone Dominators. He decisively withdrew from the Emperor Light Curtain, then took a step forward. Great Emperor-level methods manifested as he fiercely slapped towards Ye Chen beneath the 108,000 Heavenly Stairs, intending to annihilate this junior into dust with a single palm.
"Heavenly Dao!"
Ye Chen shouted, his entire person silently disappearing, actually merging into the Heavenly Dao Sun. The ten layers of divine light circles resonated completely, forcibly fusing.
Simultaneously, a vast, boundless power surged upwards.
Ye Chen seemed to have completely merged with the Heavenly Dao Sun, as if transforming into the Heavenly Dao Sun itself, wielding the mighty, boundless power belonging to the Heavenly Dao Sun that rivaled a Supreme One. He forcefully collided with the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins.
A Supreme One-level collision!
Boom—
The Great Emperor-level collision force capable of annihilating the Myriad Worlds was resolved by the Huangji Lingxiao Hall, not truly affecting the Ancient Heavenly Realm or the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds.
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins' figure remained unmoved, all collision forces dissipating into nothingness.
But the Heavenly Dao Sun trembled violently, its light shaking fiercely. Ye Chen's figure, which had merged into it, was forcibly ejected, covered in blood, riddled with cracks. A deep mark even appeared between his eyebrows, clearly paying a heavy price.
"It's no use. I am simply no match for the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins. Even if I try to forcibly merge with the Heavenly Dao Sun, it's useless. He is too strong, completely comparable to a true Supreme One. Unless a true Supreme One makes a move..."
Ye Chen coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, his entire body's muscles and skin cracked. His proud Chaos Saint Body, capable of killing peerless Sovereigns and shattering Sovereign Immortal Weapons, was still as fragile as porcelain before a Supreme One.
If not for the Heavenly Dao Sun resolving over ninety percent of the force, this strike would surely have annihilated him into dust.
It could only be said that Supreme Ones were too powerful, surpassing Emperors. They belonged to the level of immortality, where even time could not erode them.
"Battle Saint King, you are indeed extraordinary, able to briefly merge with the Heavenly Dao Sun. But it is only a brief merger. Without the Heavenly Dao Sun, and without the protection of that Emperor-level supreme Dao Body, this strike will undoubtedly kill you."
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins' gaze grew even more ruthless. An aura of Supreme One directly enveloped Ye Chen, who had been ejected from the Heavenly Dao Sun, sealing his form and spirit, leaving him utterly unable to struggle.
At this moment, it was clearly visible. His palm and fingers swept over, gentle and without ripples, like the most ordinary slap. Yet it made Ye Chen's hair stand on end, giving him an extreme sense of crisis as if his form and spirit were about to explode.
He knew this was a supreme, unparalleled strike from a Supreme One. Once hit, even a body as strong as the Chaos Saint Body would inevitably be annihilated, form and spirit destroyed, with no possibility of survival.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and Hunyue Emperor in the Desolate Realm could not save him.
Too far, and unable to break free immediately.
The great world was horrified. Was the invincible Heavenly Kingdom Dominator, who had suppressed the world for a hundred years, so helpless before the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins?
"Forget it. Being able to thwart the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins' scheme, this Chaos Saint Body can be considered to have fulfilled its purpose. A pity, I cannot walk the path of the Chaos Great Dao to its true peak."
Ye Chen's Original Body sighed, but remained resolute. His internal origin universe also prepared to burn, striking with all his might. At the very least, he would make the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins shed a few drops of blood.
But inexplicably, a thought stirred. Billions of layers of ancient chaotic energy within him burned, unconsciously, as he shouted, "Primordial Beginning!"
The peerless Emperor Art of the Space-Time Emperor!
The Space-Time Emperor Art that reversed everything!
Reaching Ye Chen's Original Body's level, it was naturally even more terrifying and astonishing, almost capable of reversing everything in the world. Layer upon layer of invisible space-time ripples spread out, reversing time and space for everything within the area covered by the ripples.
But the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins said coldly, "Battle Saint King, it's useless. You are indeed powerful, but this Emperor is far, far stronger than you."
Indeed, the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins was a Great Emperor-level existence, a peerless Supreme One. Although the space-time ripples spread and enveloped him, they could not make his figure's trajectory retreat along its original path. At most, they could slightly pause him for a moment.
Yes!
Just that one moment!
This was only possible because he was caught off guard.
The palm and fingers still swept towards his face. A Great Emperor's strike, about to shatter the Thirty-Three Heavens!
But for Ye Chen, this was enough.
Taking advantage of that momentary pause, whoosh— Ye Chen's figure disappeared.
Not merging into the Heavenly Dao Sun, but entering the Huangji Lingxiao Hall. Even the Emperor Light Curtain did not hinder him in the slightest.
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins finally changed color. He had a bad premonition. He immediately struck, summoning the various Emperor marks within his body and having the five Forbidden Zone Dominators burn their forms and spirits once more, transforming into vast power to dissolve the layers of Emperor Light Curtain.
In no time at all, he once again pushed halfway into the hall.
After another moment, just as the five Forbidden Zone Dominators' forms and spirits were burned down to the last bit, he finally pierced through the Emperor Light Curtain and completely entered.
"Battle Saint King, no matter what methods you have, they are useless."
"The Heavenly Emperor's legacy and fortune ultimately belong to this Emperor!"
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins roared angrily, charging straight into the Huangji Lingxiao Hall.
Boom—
He came fast, but retreated even faster.
A deafening roar. The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins was blasted flying out, but quickly stabilized his figure. He looked gloomily at the Huangji Lingxiao Hall and shouted sternly, "Who dares strike this Emperor?"
A supreme aura of a Supreme One also rippled, equally awe-inspiring.
Being able to repel him meant only a Great Emperor-level existence, a fellow Supreme One, could do so.
Was there an Ancient Great Emperor still within the Huangji Lingxiao Hall?
"I, your master."
A voice came from within the Huangji Lingxiao Hall, very calm, showing little fluctuation, as still as an ancient well without waves, yet so shocking.
For within the words lay immeasurable power, resounding throughout the heavens.
The Lord of the Heavenly Ruins opened his Emperor eyes, instantly piercing through space to see the various sights within the Huangji Lingxiao Hall.
On the supreme seat, the Heavenly Emperor's remnant shadow remained, an afterimage he had left behind countless eons ago.
But strangely, it seemed vaguely like a person.
That person was very young, yet flawlessly handsome, without a single blemish to be found, as if the most perfect man between heaven and earth.
