Throughout this period, Ye Chen constantly endured the backlash force of the Heavenly Dao Yang. Countless cracks appeared on his physique as his Chaos Saint Body overflowed, transforming his entire person into a bloody figure, appearing exceptionally miserable.
If not for relying on the endless power of faith to suppress it firmly, he would never have been able to withstand it and would have long since exploded.
Even so, every single inch of his entire body was densely covered in cracks. It was likely he wouldn't last much longer before completely shattering.
Boom—
At this moment, Ye Chen pierced through the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor's imperial soul for the eighth time. Having been blasted apart by quasi-Giant level power several times, the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor could no longer endure at this point. He was weakened to the extreme, his strength even having fallen to the Monarch level.
Without a true Heaven-Defying Emperor Medicine, he would probably never recover in his lifetime.
Having been severely wounded to this extent, the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor had almost fallen from the imperial path domain, even inferior to the three alien Great Emperors who had been suppressed by the Prison of Heaven for an epoch.
And with just one more strike, the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor would undoubtedly die.
"No—"
The other alien Great Emperors changed color, shouting urgently, wanting to stop Ye Chen's actions.
But how would the Formless Sovereign, Xuan Shen Great Emperor, and Tai Chu Monarch permit it? They blocked them completely.
The Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor, however, looked at Ye Chen, an unprecedented madness flashing in his eyes: "Hahaha— I, the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor, have dominated the Chaos Sea for two epochs, was the ruler of an era for my Ancient Universe, slaughtered billions of living beings of your Pangu Universe during the Great Mythical Destruction, slew countless geniuses, was invincible throughout my life, unmatched across ancient and modern times. Yet today, I never imagined I would fall here, and fall at the hands of a mere Ancient Sovereign. This is truly the greatest disgrace, and also the greatest honor for a junior like you."
"However, today, if you kill this Emperor, you will also pay the most terrible pri—"
Boom—
Before his words could finish, Ye Chen directly and forcefully blasted him apart, interrupting him, his expression incomparably cold: "You're being a bit too verbose."
Instantly, throughout the Myriad Domains, and even the entire Great Universe, phenomena filled the skies.
An Ancient Emperor falling, a Great Emperor perishing—even if they were not the Ancient Emperors or Great Emperors of this Ancient Universe—would still stir boundless phenomena. It was a form of respect for a Supreme One.
The Myriad Daos all mourned.
The whole world was shocked!
An Ancient Emperor had been slain, and it was the Battle Saint King's doing.
Although he had borrowed the Heavenly Dao Yang to transform into a new Tenth Heaven, possessing infinite might comparable to a quasi-Giant, his true realm was still merely that of an Ancient Sovereign. Yet today, with the body of a Sovereign, he had slain an Ancient Emperor, a Great Emperor. It was simply inconceivable.
Such an event, if spread, would surely shake the entire Chaos Sea.
Throughout history, it wasn't that there were none below the Supreme One level who had slain a Supreme One, but only two individuals had ever accomplished such a feat: the Heavenly Emperor and the Primordial Ancestor.
But who were they? Both were Ten Tribulation God Kings at the Great Perfection Supreme Genius level, then Eternal Quasi-Sovereigns, Eternal Sovereigns, Eternal Monarchs... Throughout their journeys, they swept through the heavens, absolutely invincible.
It was rumored they too had slain Supreme Ones while not being Supreme Ones themselves, terrifyingly powerful, but they were Eternal Monarchs.
Throughout ancient and modern times, there had been no one else like those two.
Today, however, one had appeared who, with the body of a Sovereign, slew a Supreme One, truly unprecedented.
The Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor was completely annihilated, shaking ancient and modern times.
Ye Chen staggered. Having sealed a Great Perfection alien Great Emperor figure, he too suffered the terrifying backlash of the Heavenly Dao Yang's power. His form and spirit were on the verge of completely disintegrating.
It must be said that to slay the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor, he had paid an unimaginably great price.
But he forcibly endured it, using the endless power of faith to suppress it, allowing his Chaos Saint Body, on the brink of shattering, to maintain its complete form.
"One is dead. There are still the rest of you."
Ye Chen's expression was so cold and ruthless. His gaze swept over the other alien Great Emperors, absolute killing intent stirring within him.
Today, all aliens were to be slaughtered, even the Ancient Great Emperors were no exception.
Just as he was about to leave the Supreme One battlefield and thunderously strike at other Emperor-level battlefields, suddenly, a shocking change abruptly arose.
Boomrumbling—
At the location where the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor had fallen, the blasted-apart Supreme One blood mist and imperial soul fragments suddenly ignited at this moment, transforming into the most blazing and terrifying radiance.
It was as if billions of suns had appeared, their unparalleled brilliance illuminating the entire Myriad Domains.
What was going on?
Even Ye Chen was somewhat stunned, because he had intended to preserve the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor's shattered flesh and blood and Emperor Soul fragments. Even after death, they were still peerless treasures with infinite uses.
But for them to spontaneously ignite left him quite astonished.
"Could it be the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor hasn't completely fallen?" someone wondered. After all, this was an Ancient Great Emperor, a Great Perfection Emperor Realm Ancient Emperor Supreme One. His vitality was incredibly strong; surviving by clinging to life wasn't impossible.
"Impossible. I sensed his aura completely vanish. The Battle Saint King completely erased all his vitality, his true spirit annihilated. He cannot possibly still be alive," Tai Chu Monarch said gravely.
The moment the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor fell, all Supreme Ones scanned over. Supreme One-level divine sense enveloped this region, carefully sensing every inch, reaching far and wide. It couldn't be false.
The Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor had indeed fallen.
Although the several Supreme Ones clearly sensed the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor's vitality extinguished, even his true spirit completely annihilated, impossible for him to still be alive, the ignited imperial body and imperial soul at this moment gave them all a very bad premonition.
At the Supreme One level, to still have such an ominous premonition was absolutely terrifying. That kind of crisis was often unimaginable.
The alien Great Emperiors, after a moment of stunned silence, suddenly changed expression: "Could it be—"
"It must be. Even though the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor has fallen, before death he still activated that ultimate forbidden technique, using his flesh, blood, form, and spirit as a medium to forcibly pierce through the Great Universe barrier, to summon the supreme Giant from my Ancient Universe to descend upon this realm!"
They understood better than anyone what technique the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor had unleashed.
It was a forbidden technique that could temporarily pierce the Great Universe barrier, forcibly inviting a supreme Giant.
However, without a doubt, the cost of such a forbidden technique was astonishing, requiring the burning of a Supreme One's form and spirit to achieve this step. Otherwise, over these years, why wouldn't the alien race have long since invited a supreme Giant to directly and forcefully enter the Pangu Universe?
Using a Supreme One as a sacrifice to pierce the Great Universe barrier—even the alien Ancient Universe couldn't afford it; the price was too great.
But today, the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor, knowing death was inevitable, activated this forbidden technique before his end.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He could feel terrifying power emanating from the burning remains of the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor, power that even he would tremble at. That power was transforming into a bridge, piercing through the void, as if summoning something.
Requiring an Ancient Emperor to self-immolate his form and spirit to summon—no need to ask, it was certainly an unimaginable great terror, definitely beyond the Supreme One level.
A quasi-Giant?
A supreme Giant?
Ye Chen dared not imagine. He had to quickly destroy the forbidden technique the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor had unleashed before his death.
