The Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor was, after all, an Ancient Emperor, a Great Emperor who had spanned two epochs without perishing. The old who do not die become demons, and he was no exception—truly wise.
In the span of a mere instant, he deduced some of the underlying truth and said darkly, "Battle Saint King, this new Tenth Heaven is indeed formidable. But for you to only unleash it at this stage must require a correspondingly immense price, no?"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed with forbidden light, unsurprised that the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor could guess this. Power rivaling a Quasi-Giant was far beyond what his current self could endure.
Had he not utilized endless Faith Power to neutralize and protect his Saint Body, he would never have been able to forcibly withstand this Quasi-Giant level power.
But the endless Faith Power could only barely mitigate it; vast amounts of Heavenly Dao Sun power still leaked out, violently assailing his Chaos Saint Body. Not just every moment, but every instant inflicted tremendous damage upon his physical form.
Yet Ye Chen knew that prolonging this state would be even more disadvantageous. Thus, he acted without hesitation, determined to slay Emperors and Sovereigns within a short time.
"You are correct. There is indeed a corresponding price," Ye Chen spoke slowly. "But as long as I can kill you, I can bear it!"
In that moment, he suddenly moved.
Boom—
The Supreme One domain trembled violently. The aura of a Quasi-Giant perpetually radiated, shaking the vast battlefield within the domain. Countless ancient remnants, incredibly durable, shattered under the Quasi-Giant level force.
Boom—
With just one punch, even as the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor raised his Supreme Emperor Weapon, the trident, to block, he was still sent flying violently, blood spraying through the air.
The blocking right arm, despite being a Supreme Sovereign's body, had its Emperor bones snapped upon impact by the overwhelming Quasi-Giant level power.
The world shook. Experts from both factions were utterly astounded.
This was the might of a Quasi-Giant. Once unleashed, the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor, who had been gradually gaining the advantage, was instantly blasted away and grievously wounded in a single clash.
Even a Supreme Sovereign's body could not withstand it; the indestructible Sovereign bones were broken.
The faces of the alien Emperors turned extremely grim.
Cough—
At this moment, blood trickled from the corner of Ye Chen's mouth. He struggled to endure the unparalleled power within him, which threatened to burst his body and soul at any moment.
Quasi-Giant level power was simply too vast and overwhelming. Even his formidable Chaos Saint Body, aided by endless Faith Power, could barely contain it. Every moment brought excruciating pain, as if he were being torn apart.
A mere wisp of Quasi-Giant level power was enough to annihilate any Ancient Monarch.
That he could endure this far was solely due to the endless Faith Power and his Chaos Saint Body.
Regrettably, he somewhat regretted not using his Great Emperor Reincarnation Body to bear this burden earlier. After all, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was, in a sense, one-seventh of an Emperor-level physique, possessing a complete Emperor Dao origin and the Extinction Emperor Realm. In some aspects, it was far stronger than his Chaos Saint Body.
But he hadn't considered this earlier.
"The power of the Heavenly Dao Sun is not suitable for prolonged fusion. I must end this quickly. Otherwise, before I kill the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor, I'll be the first to explode from being overfilled with Heavenly Dao Sun power," Ye Chen muttered to himself. His gaze sharpened like lightning, locking onto the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor's aura. He moved abruptly, traversing endless space to appear before the Sovereign in the blink of an eye.
Quasi-Giant level power was boundless, requiring no precise control and far surpassing that of ordinary Supreme Ones.
Grasping the Immortal Seal as if holding ten heavens aloft, he brought it crashing down.
Boom—
The Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor could not withstand such Quasi-Giant level might. The palm strike directly pierced through his Supreme Emperor Body, front to back, causing him to vomit blood incessantly.
Moreover, a continuous stream of Heavenly Dao Sun power poured into his body, brutally destroying the Supreme Emperor Body from within.
"So this is Quasi-Giant level power!"
The Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor's face paled. Though not a true peerless Giant, and still far from it, a Quasi-Giant was vastly superior to him.
It was like the gap between an Ancient Monarch and an Emperor Lord.
Setting foot into a higher realm naturally granted far greater power.
Having lived through two epochal eras, he had never been able to advance to such a state. Yet today, a mere Ancient Monarch had attained such invincible might.
But he also understood that this was likely a contingency left behind by the mythical Emperors of the Pangu Universe, allowing the new Tenth Heaven to be born. It had devoured Dao Shishi's Supreme One body, the remains of numerous alien Emperors, and even the corpse of the Divine Chaos Emperor Ancestor Giant to reach this level.
Yet such power was terrifying beyond measure.
"Fortunately, it's not a true peerless Giant. Otherwise, that strike would have been enough to shatter me to dust."
As an Ancient Emperor, and one living in the alien Ancient Universe, he understood the might of the Eternal Giants better than other Chaos Ancient Universe Supreme Ones. Like the Flame Emperor of old—once he became an Eternal Giant, his terrifying aura directly annihilated an alien Emperor.
Such a gap was unimaginable.
Now, the Pangu Universe's new Tenth Heaven had just been born. Otherwise, its future achievements might not be inferior to the old Tenth Heaven, the Azure Emperor.
Because the Pangu Universe was profoundly extraordinary.
"Out of respect for you as a Supreme One, I'll give you one chance now. Leave your final words," Ye Chen said. He threw another punch, and by the fifth strike, he tore through the Sovereign's arm, pierced his Sovereign heart, and ripped it out.
The Sovereign's heart pulsed in his palm, each beat containing unimaginable power capable of shaking the Myriad Realms and shattering the Myriad Daos.
Every drop of its blood was genuine Sovereign essence blood, possessing miraculous uses.
"Hahaha, what a joke! I am the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor. You are not qualified to have me leave final words."
The Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor laughed heartily. Even facing absolute death, he refused to bow his head to Ye Chen at this moment.
This was the dignity of an Ancient Emperor, a Great Emperor. Why would he deign to leave final words for a mere Ancient Monarch?
"Very well. In that case, die," Ye Chen nodded. Then, the Heavenly Dao Sun power erupted completely.
With a deafening boom, the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor was utterly shattered to pieces!
The Ancient Sovereign exploded, celestial phenomena filling the skies, startling all realms.
Naturally, an Ancient Emperor, a Supreme One of this caliber, could not be killed so easily. Even an Eternal Giant would need to strike multiple times to completely extinguish such vitality, let alone Ye Chen, who only wielded Quasi-Giant level power.
Enraged, Ye Chen attacked with full force each time. Quasi-Giant level power fell again and again, blasting apart the reforming Supreme Sovereign body, tearing the immortal Sovereign soul, grinding away the true spirit, and dismantling the Emperor Dao origin.
