With a deafening roar, a colossal black hole abruptly manifested behind Ye Chen, spanning across the firmament.
A supreme heavenly sun appeared—it was the Heavenly Dao Sun projecting across worlds. Waves of majestic power, rivaling that of a Supreme Emperor, inundated Ye Chen's surroundings. Billions of zhang of supreme emperor radiance enveloped him, making him appear like a Sun Emperor himself.
Ye Chen looked down from his lofty position, gazing at the three Alien Emperor Lords below. "Alien race, if you want this origin power, come at me together. Let me see if you have the capability to seize it."
He took the initiative to attack, displaying the domineering and aggressive nature of the Battle Saint lineage as he descended from the heavens.
"Kill him!"
The three Alien Emperor Lords did not underestimate him, knowing that Ye Chen at this moment was not inferior to an ancient Great Emperor. They did not split up to fight but charged forward together, reviving the Supreme Imperial Weapons in their hands to blast towards him.
"Hahaha—Emperor Lords? Today, you are destined to be suppressed as well!"
Ye Chen laughed heartily, his hair flying wildly like roaring true dragons. Clenching a world-shaking fist seal infused with the mighty power of the Heavenly Dao Sun, comparable to the supreme level, he smashed down.
BOOM—
The collision, akin to that of ancient Great Emperors, shook the Cosmic Realm, tearing apart the endless void.
Rolling shockwaves annihilated countless billions of miles of land, causing the alien powerhouses in this stretch of void to perish one after another.
The powerhouses of the Heavenly Kingdom remained unscathed, thanks to the Rules Heavenly Pass and a portion of the mighty power Ye Chen had extended to protect them.
Hum—
The Alien Emperor Lords also acted, shielding the other alien powerhouses.
BOOM—
The collision nearly shattered the entire Cosmic Realm.
Ye Chen remained unharmed and intact. Enveloped in infinite Heavenly Dao Sun power, he was like an ancient Emperor, not even budging or retreating half a step.
The three Alien Emperor Lords were sent flying countless miles, injured to varying degrees.
The whole world was shaken. Although they had long known of the Heavenly Dao Sun's might, seeing it wielded by Ye Chen to such an extent was still utterly astonishing.
At this moment, Ye Chen was practically a true ancient Great Emperor!
"So strong... no, too strong!"
The expressions of the three Alien Emperor Lords were all grim. Even combined, they were still no match for a single Ye Chen. This was absolutely a perilous situation.
"Is this all the power you have?"
Ye Chen gave a faint, composed smile, his confidence built upon absolute strength.
Incomparable Heavenly Dao Sun power was stored within his body. Every inch of his physique was dazzlingly brilliant, as if numerous heavenly suns were shining. Boundless mighty power, on par with the supreme level, was erupting.
"Watch this move—Great World-Overturning Hand!"
His palm expanded infinitely, its size beyond measurement in billions of miles, covering half of the Cosmic Realm as it heavily smashed down upon the three Alien Emperor Lords.
BOOM BOOM BOOM—
The three Alien Emperor Lords roared, exhausting all their strength to revive their Supreme Imperial Weapons and resist with full force.
But under the deafening blasts, the Supreme Imperial Weapons dimmed and crashed back into their owners, sending the three figures hurtling away. Their bodies cracked, blood scattering across the boundless Cosmic Realm.
BOOM—
Not long after, the physical bodies of the three were more than half shattered. The terrifying mighty power of the Heavenly Dao Sun manifested, tearing open their origins and inflicting extremely severe foundational injuries upon them.
However, they were ultimately Emperor Lords. They reconstituted themselves one by one in the distance, relying on their Supreme Imperial Weapons to dissolve the terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao Sun.
Ye Chen frowned slightly. "Truly worthy of being Emperor Lords, bearing the word 'Emperor.' They are indeed difficult to kill."
Clearly, even wielding supreme mighty power not inferior to an ancient Great Emperor, it was difficult to suppress and kill the three of them instantly.
"No more hesitation. Revive the Forbidden Ancient Weapon directly. Even if an ancient Great Emperor faces it, they might not be able to break free in a short time."
The three Emperor Lords communicated secretly via divine sense and finally decided to attack with an Emperor-level Forbidden Ancient Weapon. Moreover, they now directly employed their ultimate means, causing the Forbidden Ancient Weapon to fully revive, erupting with infinite might not the slightest bit inferior to an ancient Great Emperor—even stronger.
This was a Forbidden Ancient Weapon specifically designed to counter ancient Great Emperors. Crafted using infinite peerless divine materials and refined by an ancient Great Emperor at great cost, its uses were limited and countable. But each time it was employed, even an ancient Great Emperor had to avoid itsedge / sharpness (figuratively, their power or threat). It was a true trump card of the alien race.
It would not be used unless absolutely necessary.
But now was undoubtedly such a situation.
It was a needle—an Emperor Needle. Now revived, infinite supreme emperor principles manifested, startlingly appearing within the River of Time.
Then, with a whoosh, it pierced through the void,restrained time, and shot directly at Ye Chen.
Though clearly just a needle of normal size, after its revival, its imposing might was incredibly powerful, to the extent that even an Emperor Lord like Hunyue Emperor Lord felt a sense of crisis, as if his form and spirit would explode and be utterly annihilated.
Moreover, this was an Emperor-level Forbidden Ancient Weapon. At its most complete revival, it possessed infinite power comparable to a full-force strike from an ancient Great Emperor,enough to threatening a true Great Emperor. This was a Forbidden-level ancient weapontranscendingconventional / normal, not to be measured by common sense.
"Yue, be careful!"
The Goddess and others cried out in worry.
But Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. With a flip of his hand, he could summon clouds; with a turn of his palm, he could bring rain. Controlling the Heavenly Dao Sun, he displayed peerless, matchless Emperor-level means.
Infinite power crossed over, layer upon layer, submerging that Emperor Needle.
To the outside world, people could not see what happened within, only hearing terrifying, world-shaking booms resounding through the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds.
Finally, when everything dissipated, Ye Chen was seen standing before the world,unharmed and intact, as always, supreme and peerless.
The three Alien Emperor Lords panicked. "Where is the Emperor-level Forbidden Ancient Weapon?"
That was their final trump card. It had actually vanished, completely undetectable. Yet the Battle Saint King still lived,indicate / suggestmany, filling them with terror.
They could not believe it, for that was an Emperor-level Forbidden Ancient Weapon. At full revival, its power was so great it could even threaten the life of an ancient Great Emperor. Under normal circumstances, even a Great Emperor would avoid itsedge / sharpness (figuratively, their power or threat).
But now, it had vanished without a trace or sound.
Could it be that the Battle Saint King was even stronger than an ancient Great Emperor?
Ye Chen discerned their inner thoughts. "I must say, you are truly foolish. But I can't blame you. The power of the Heavenly Dao Sun is far beyond what it was in the past. Within the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds, not to mention you, even if a true ancient Great Emperor were to descend, I could suppress them!"
His words radiated incomparable confidence.
The Heavenly Dao Sun had devoured Dao Shishi and the remains of the various alien Emperors, even including the ancient titan-level emperor corpse of Shenluan Imperial Ancestor. It had long since evolved to a level surpassing ordinary supreme ones.
Moreover, he also controlled the infinite Faith Power accumulated over billions of years in the Primordial Heavenly Realm, not falling short of the Heavenly Dao Sun by much.
This also resulted in Ye Chen being the absolute master within the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds. If alien Great Emperors dared to descend here, he had absolute confidence he could suppress them.
Of course, these matters were not for others to know.
"Die."
Ye Chen's figure flickered. The Heavenly Dao Sun projected, directly swallowing the three Alien Emperor Lords in one grasp.
"No—"
The three Alien Emperor Lords struggled madly.
RUMBLE—
Within the Heavenly Dao Sun, a brief period of intense struggle occurred before gradually calming down, eventually becoming completely placid.
Clearly, the three Alien Emperor Lords were either suppressed or had completely perished.
The great battle had ended!
The whole world cheered. Across the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds, they hailed the name of the Heavenly Realm's master.
Simultaneously, Ye Chen also employed great means to expel all darkness from the Cosmic Realm.
Unfortunately, over half of the plane worlds had been corrupted into demonic realms and were completely destroyed. The loss of life was incalculable.
Even Ye Chen had no solution. He could not reverse time and space to save those people.
Only with the passage of time would the Cosmic Realm evolve plane worlds once again over endless eons,once againenacting / manifesting the existence of life...
Returning to Sky City within the Minor Divine Realm, family and friends were all there, gathering together.
Unfortunately, one important person was missing—Ye Junlin!
But upon learning that the Heavenly Emperor had sent him to the Ancestral Dragon's legacy site, although the Goddess, Yi Wu, and others missed him, they also knew this was his destined fortune.
"Battle Saint King!"
Hunyue Emperor Lord spoke. As an Emperor Lord, he could sense Ye Chen's current strength more clearly than anyone.
If before he could still gauge his depth, now, even an Emperor Lord like him felt a sense of intangibility, as if he could not be grasped—and even more powerful.
A hundred years had passed, and Ye Chen had grown so much stronger, deeply astonishing him.
Ye Chen merely smiled.
Over these past few days, he spent time with his family,in a waymade up for the guilt from his past seclusion.
Naturally, over the past century, the cultivation of those around him had also advanced further.
Unfortunately, those around himcontinuously / remainedinferior to him, and their realms were already sufficiently high. Although they had made progress over a hundred years, it was not asobvious as his.
"In a while, we shall return to the Myriad Domains of the Heavens."
Ye Chen said, calculating the time. They had stayed in the lower realm for over two hundred years—not a short period.
He had heard that the Prison of Heaven in the upper realm had been opened. All the great malevolent beings sealed there in the past had escaped, especially the alien race. It seemed a supreme one from the era of the Great Mythical Cataclysm had been suppressed within the Prison of Heaven and had now emerged.
Now, the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds were increasingly prosperous and flourishing. The Heavenly Kingdom's influence had also developed to a very high level. Moreover, he had mastered the Heavenly Dao Sun and infinite Faith Power, becoming incomparably powerful, truly capable of influencing the war situation in the upper realm.
It was time to leave.
"Father."
Qian Xun suddenly spoke up seriously. "I want to see Mother."
Ye Chen fell silent for a moment. "Alright."
Qian Xun's mother was a princess of an ancient kingdom named Yun Yan, whom Ye Chen had met during his struggle to cross the cycle of reincarnation in his past life as Qian Yue.
But back then, Ye Chen's past life was still weak. Moreover, due to the profound means of the Human King, she was hidden in an unknown space-time, evenvaguely involving the Space-Time Emperor, making it impossible to find her.
Now, Ye Chen's cultivation had reached the pinnacle. Moreover, he controlled the Primordial Heavenly Realm and billions of Faith Power. His might was no less than that of a true ancient Great Emperor. He could completely locate Earth.
However, towards that woman named Yun Yan, Ye Chen had always felt guilt, believing he had failed her in the past. Thus, after so many years, hecontinuously / remaineddared not meet her.
But he also understood that avoiding her forever was not a solution.
As the saying goes, there's no time like the present. Ye Chen hesitated no longer. Decisively, he immediately begancalculating, searching for Earth's location.
BOOM—
The heavenlyfate obscure. Ye Chen performed a supreme great technique and even obtained a drop of Qian Xun's blood totrace back toorigin / core, searching for Earth hidden within unknown space-time.
Vaguely, a water-blue planet appeared before his eyes, with various tall buildings, swiftlyshuttling spacecraft, and so on,interwovenrevealed a technological civilization unlike any other.
This was Earth.
"Earth!"
Qian Xun was overjoyed. Over the years, he had not refrained from personally searching for Earth. Buteerie's was, Earth's space-time had beentransferred away,even shrouded in layers of mist.even someone as powerful ashe, a Primordial Monarch who mastered the Dao of Space-Time, actually could not locate Earth's position, as if it had beenentirely transferred away.
But now, under his father'sdefying heaven / heaven-defyingmeans, thelayers of mist were pierced through, and the space-time location was found.
RUMBLE—
but at this moment, heaven shook and earth quaked. The River of Time abruptly manifested, actuallycollided withcollapsed the illusory image of Earth before them. Waves of mysterious and unknown space-time mighty powershimmering,stop / prevent Ye Chen'scalculations.
Vaguely, avague, thick, and powerful hand appeared,wiped away all traces.
Ye Chen was shocked. With a loud shout, his entire body instantly erupted with ancient Great Emperor-level mighty power—supreme-level power transmitted from the Heavenly Dao Sun—as he attempted to forcefullycalculate out.
But all of this wassimply impossible. Space-time did not manifest; Earth did not appear, as if it hadvanished just like that.
vaguely, there seemed to be a transcendent power capable of shattering the indestructible and breaking eternity,enough to make even a supreme one feelterror.
"Ancient Titan!"
Ye Chen's expression changed. That power was even stronger than what he currently wielded. Aside from an ancient titan, who could accomplish this?
Earth's existence seemed very special, very extraordinary,actually attracted an ancient titan to conceal its truedirection.
"Space-Time Emperor? No, it seems to be someone else."
Ye Chen's heart sank slightly.
Beside him, Qian Xun was both shocked andfearful. "Father, what is going on?"
"A supreme titan has acted, concealing Earth's truedirection. Earth is not simple." Ye Chen stated truthfully.
Those around them were all inwardlyshocked and shaken. A small Earth actually had such an astonishing origin?
Ye Chen pondered slightly. He recalled the matters of his past life's reincarnation. To have been arranged by the Human King's reincarnation, the Human King, itmust not be simple. Moreover, Qian Xun had been personally chosen by the Space-Time Emperor. Suchvarious,as if long agoindicate / suggestmany.
Earth's origin was not simple.
Qian Xun's face was full ofguilt. "Mother,sorry, your child cannot find you."
Ye Chen also feltguilt. "Sorry, child."
"Father, I don't blame you." Many years ago, Qian Xun had harbored some resentment towards Ye Chen, but after so many years, he had long since let it go.only that he hadn't found his mother,continuously / remained aregret in his heart.
But he knew his mother was still alive.
This was atelepathic connection, also abloodline connection.
Time flowed leisurely. Another three years passed.
During these three years, everyone had been preparing for the journey to the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.
The remnants of the Angel Clan had also arrived many years ago,had been waiting all along, hoping to bring Xiu Puluosi's remains back to the Angel Imperial Clan for proper burial.
During this period, Huang Xu had come. This former Forbidden Zone Ruler possessed immensely powerful cultivation, having reached the Eighth Heaven level as a peerless Monarch, moreover a body-refiningFlowing Monarch.
Ye Chen had briefly exchanged words with him because he had once encountered someone with an aura similar to the Huangdi Clan in the past, and that person was very powerful,onceTime putting great pressure on Ye Chen.
"Indeed, aImperial Son from my clan was once lost in the outside world, whereabouts unknown."
Huang Xu admitted. This was amystery. In fact, after the Great Mythical Cataclysm, adescendant of the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor had disappeared, and his whereabouts remained unknown to this day.
Ye Chen's expression turnedstrange. He strongly suspected that person from back then washighly likely the offspring of the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor. Of course, there was no basis for this.
Naturally, if this were truly the case, it would bea joyous and congratulatory matter for the Huangdi Clan, even for the Pangu Universe. That person was very powerful, hailed as an Overlord. Back then, only a few could match him.
"Let's go, to the upper realm!"
Half a month later, Ye Chen stood at the very peak of the Primordial Heavenly Realm. With one punch, the power of the Heavenly Dao Sun surged forth. Mighty power comparable to an ancient Great Emperor struck the barrier between the two realms. With a deafening roar, a resplendent passage was blasted through,pierced throughthe upper and lower realms.
