Unfortunately, just as the Suppressing Prison Ancient Emperor had said, Ye Chen found it truly difficult to gain any significant advantage in a Supreme-level clash. On the contrary, as time passed, the Suppressing Prison Ancient Emperor quickly grasped Ye Chen's combat rhythm and even identified corresponding flaws.
Finally, in the twenty-eighth exchange, Ye Chen's figure was sent flying, his Supreme-level power scattering as the trident pierced through his abdomen.
If not for the two strands of Supreme-level power protecting him, with his true strength, he would have long been shattered to pieces.
"Battle Saint King!"
The experts of Pangu Palace exclaimed in alarm. The Formless Sovereign, Xuan Shen Great Emperor, and Tai Chu Monarch all frowned, naturally having also discerned Ye Chen's shortcomings. They sighed lightly, yet felt helpless.
Because this kind of combat awareness and experience could not be compensated for merely by possessing two strands of Supreme-level power; it required the corresponding realm to achieve.
If this continued, Ye Chen would undoubtedly be defeated.
"Truly worthy of being an ancient Great Emperor. I somewhat underestimated you," Ye Chen exhaled softly, but then his gaze became even more brilliant and resplendent. "But, even if you can perfectly control your power, so what? Don't think for a moment that this is all the power I possess. Today, I'm not afraid to tell you all: the power I command is far beyond what you can imagine."
"Heavenly Dao Sun, come!"
A great shout echoed through the myriad realms.
From within the passage between the two realms, an unimaginably glorious heavenly sun suddenly appeared, traversing the sky. Its boundless, dazzling light illuminated the entire myriad realms, and the imposing might it contained was actually far greater than the previous phantom of the Heavenly Dao Sun.
Boom—
As the true Heavenly Dao Sun emerged, all the myriad Daos of the entire myriad realms instantly boiled over. The Heavenly Dao resonated, and strands of profound and mysterious, majestic power manifested.
At this moment, the five ancient Great Emperors of the alien race all changed expressions.
As Supreme Ones, they could sense more clearly than anyone else the terrifying nature of this Heavenly Dao Sun. The power it contained actually far surpassed their own. Moreover, they vaguely sensed auras belonging to ancient Great Emperors of the alien race—not just one or two, but even the presence of ancient, peerless alien giants seemed to be hidden within.
Only an ancient Great Emperor could sense this.
"Impossible! How could the auras of the Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors of our Ancient Universe, even the existence of supreme giants, lie dormant within this Heavenly Dao Sun?" The five alien Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors all paled, thinking of unfavorable possibilities.
"What a powerful Heavenly Dao Sun. It truly is the new Tenth Heaven that complements the incomplete Pangu Universe..." The three Supreme Ones of Pangu Palace had a flickering light in their eyes; they understood some inside information better than anyone.
Ye Chen summoned the Heavenly Dao Sun to traverse the sky. Its unparalleled Heavenly Dao authority descended upon the mortal world, even suppressing the alien domain and resonating with the origin of the Pangu Universe.
At this moment, within the Boundless Demon Domain of the alien lands, all demonic energy was instantly burned and evaporated, continuously turning into green smoke, about to vanish from the mortal world.
The alien lands were being rapidly purified.
Simultaneously, the alien experts suffered immense suppression, their combat power plummeting dramatically!
The might of the Heavenly Dao Sun was displayed without reservation.
"Suppressing Prison Ancient Emperor, I must admit that a Supreme One is truly invincible in all aspects. But you must also understand that the power I displayed earlier was only a part of my total strength. Now, this is the manifestation of my strongest combat power."
"The Heavenly Dao is made whole; I am the Tenth Heaven!"
His resonant shout shook past, present, and future, causing the River of Time to ripple.
At Ye Chen's summons, the Heavenly Dao Sun violently broke into the Supreme domain and then directly merged into his body.
Boom—
Instantly, after fusing with the true Heavenly Dao Sun, Ye Chen's aura around his body began to climb level by level, soaring madly.
The magnitude of this increase was beyond imagination, reaching a degree that would shock even Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors.
The entire Supreme domain trembled, terrifyingly so. The terrifying might even penetrated the Supreme domain, transmitting to the myriad realms. The dreadful power echoed in the heavens, rumbling and roaring, giving rise to thousands of peerless phenomena.
Moreover, the moment his aura skyrocketed, billions of strands of Heavenly Dao aura also surged from Ye Chen's body, completely submerging him, as if he had utterly transformed into the Heavenly Dao itself.
After an unknown length of time, the soaring aura finally slowly stabilized, reaching an entirely new height.
"This is the new Tenth Heaven that complements the incomplete Heavenly Dao of the Pangu Universe, also called the Heavenly Dao Sun. Over a hundred and fifty years ago, it devoured the alien Ancient Universe's Supreme Dao Shishi, and also refined the imperial remains of the alien giant Shen Luan Di Zu, who perished in the Pangu Universe during the Great Mythical Cataclysm, along with the remains of multiple alien Great Emperors. Therefore, the power contained within the new Tenth Heaven is sufficient to rival that of a Quasi-Giant."
Ye Chen spoke unhurriedly, his words containing heavenly edicts, his voice capable of overriding the myriad Daos and making all living beings submit.
After merging with the Heavenly Dao Sun, his aura was now incomparably stronger than before. Every pore emitted boundless essence energy and also gathered Heavenly Dao power.
The Heavenly Dao Sun that had devoured Dao Shishi and the remains of numerous alien Great Emperors was too powerful, far surpassing the Supreme level. Across the Chaos Sea, it was second only to the strongest Emperors and Immortal Kings—those ancient giants. Thus, it belonged to the Quasi-Giant level.
"Quasi-Giant level power!?"
"A miscalculation! Not only did the Battle Saint King obtain the Heavenly Emperor's legacy in the Lower Realm, but he also allowed the contingency plans of the Mythical Emperors to manifest, condensing a new Tenth Heaven that transformed into the Heavenly Dao Sun. It even devoured Dao Shishi and so many remains of Great Emperors from our Ancient Universe, including even the imperial remains of Lord Shen Luan Di Zu."
"Who would have thought that after Lord Qing Tian Great Emperor infiltrated our Ancient Universe, the Pangu Universe could still condense a new Tenth Heaven!"
"Quasi-Giant level power is enough to sweep away everything; even a Supreme One cannot resist it!"
"Although we Supreme Ones can also rival the Heavenly Dao, that is only the Heavenly Dao of an ordinary Chaos Ancient Universe. The Pangu Universe, as one of the strongest Chaos Ancient Universes, with its Tenth Heaven even surpassing the Nine Heavens, is far, far stronger!"
The alien Great Emperors changed expressions. Such power was not simply twice as strong as theirs; it was several times, even many times stronger.
Faced with absolute power, even the supremely invincible combat awareness and instincts of a Supreme-level being might not be able to exert much effect.
A difference of twice in strength might still allow for a reversal through skill, but a difference of several times or more—that gap was simply too great.
Moreover, the Battle Saint King's combat awareness and instincts were already top-tier. It was only the gap in realm that brought a certain disparity. But supplemented by Quasi-Giant level power, it was enough to elevate him comprehensively, forcibly raising him to the Supreme level.
Especially the Suppressing Prison Ancient Emperor, who bore the brunt of it, faced the greatest crisis. The unparalleled Heavenly Dao aura rushed towards him; even a mighty Ancient Emperor like him felt his body on the verge of splitting.
He hadn't felt this sensation for countless tens of thousands of years, perhaps even beyond an entire epoch.
The last time he felt this way was perhaps during the Great Mythical Cataclysm battle against the Pangu Universe, when he faced a true supreme giant.
Never did he imagine that now, after nearly an entire epoch, he would feel this again on a junior.
