During this period, many renowned divine physicians and alchemists from across the myriad domains came of their own accord, hoping to awaken the Battle Saint King and resolve his injuries. Unfortunately, they arrived with hope but departed with disappointment, all stating there was no solution.
Indeed, even existences like the Sovereign of Formlessness and Xuan Shen Great Emperor—Ancient Great Emperors themselves—had no method. What could others possibly do?
"Young Friend Ye is gravely injured and unconscious. The power of the Heavenly Dao Sun is too overbearing, and after prolonged fusion, it has seeped into every inch of his flesh, blood, and even his divine soul. It cannot be expelled, for forcibly driving it out would cause his form and spirit to be utterly annihilated."
"Furthermore, Emperor Wanyan's final strike is also a major problem. It contains the Supreme Emperor Laws of a Quasi-Giant level, which cannot be expelled or dissipated."
Xuan Shen Great Emperor spoke. Wise as he was, an Ancient Great Emperor, he was still powerless.
The Heavenly Dao Sun originally belonged to the Pangu Universe's new Tenth Heaven, its Heavenly Dao power exceptionally potent. Moreover, it had devoured Dao Shishi and the remains of numerous alien Emperors, including the Emperor remains of the Divine Chaos Emperor Ancestor, a Colossus from antiquity. This caused the Heavenly Dao power to become excessively strong, surpassing even that of the Great Perfection Emperor realm.
Otherwise, if it were power from any other Supreme level, how could Great Emperors like them be utterly helpless?
And it was only Ye Chen—because he inherited the Heavenly Emperor's legacy and gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao Sun—who could fuse with it for such a long time. Anyone else, forget a peak Sovereign, even an Emperor Lord would explode instantly, utterly incapable of fully containing it.
Not to mention the lingering effects of Emperor Wanyan's final strike.
"If we want Ye Chen to recover completely, there are only three methods available now," the Sovereign of Formlessness spoke.
"What three methods?" Yi Wu and the others revealed joyful expressions, but seeing the solemn looks on the three Supreme Ones' faces, their hearts immediately sank. It was likely extremely difficult.
Sure enough—
"The first method: request a Colossus from antiquity to intervene. An existence of that level can reverse and disorder time and space, sufficient to expel all the Heavenly Dao Sun power within Ye Chen's body." The Sovereign of Formlessness said.
The methods of a Colossus from antiquity were peerless, completely transcending the Supreme level. The Heavenly Dao Sun power, in the end, only belonged to the Quasi-Giant level, so naturally, they would have the ability to resolve it.
However, vast as the Pangu Universe is, there is no existence of this level stationed here. Otherwise, how would the alien race dare invade this realm?
Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat disappointed.
"The second method: the fruit of the Immortal Emperor Medicine. The fruit of the Immortal Emperor Medicine condenses the essence of the Emperor Medicine across an entire epoch, enough to allow even an Ancient Great Emperor to live a second life from the brink of death."
The Immortal Emperor Medicine was a priceless treasure that would drive Ancient Sovereigns, Great Emperors, and even Supreme Immortals to madness. It could allow them to be reborn from the state of death, to live a second life. One could imagine how precious it was.
Throughout the ages, any Supreme One who possessed an Immortal Emperor Medicine would basically use it for their final transformation, charging into the Supreme Giant level from the most terrifying life-and-death state.
As long as one possessed an Immortal Emperor Medicine, there was some hope of breaking the shackles and ascending to become a Colossus from antiquity.
But the Immortal Emperor Medicine was incredibly precious. Throughout the ages, those who possessed it were basically Colossi from antiquity. Supreme Ones who could possess one were few and far between.
Ye Chen had indeed obtained the Immortal Emperor Medicine of the Heaven-Defying Battle Lord. Unfortunately, the fruit of the Immortal Emperor Medicine had long been refined by Xuan Shen Great Emperor, allowing him to return to his Great Perfection Emperor state.
"The third method: a tenth-grade pill!"
Tenth-grade pills, surpassing the ninth grade, were to some degree also called Emperor Pills, capable of resolving the injuries of a Supreme One.
Unfortunately, how difficult it was to refine a tenth-grade Emperor Pill! Not only did it require numerous medicinal ingredients, each one exceedingly rare in the world, but even a tenth-grade alchemist might not be able to find them.
Alchemists of this level were far too rare, hailed as Dan Gods. They needed not only peak alchemical skill but also a sufficiently high personal cultivation realm to attempt the refinement.
Generally speaking, only by reaching the Supreme level did one have the qualifications to become a Dan God.
It could be said that Dan God existences were few and far between across the entire Chaos Sea, let alone within the Pangu Universe, where not a single one could be found.
Moreover, refining a tenth-grade Emperor Pill was extremely arduous. Even if one found the ingredients and a Dan God, there was no guarantee of successful refinement.
Now, to allow Ye Chen to recover completely, it was either the fruit of the Immortal Emperor Medicine or a peerless tenth-grade pill refined by a Dan God.
Unfortunately, at this stage, both were exceedingly difficult to find in the world.
"It is I who harmed Young Friend Ye. If not for my sake, the young friend would certainly have a means of salvation."
Xuan Shen Great Emperor was filled with self-reproach. Back then, it was Ye Chen who gave him the Immortal Emperor Medicine fruit to refine, allowing him to return to the peak of the Great Perfection Emperor realm. Otherwise, with Ye Chen's current injuries, relying on the Immortal Emperor Medicine would have allowed him to recover directly.
"Great Emperor, you need not blame yourself. No one could have foreseen this. Yue would not blame you either if she knew." It was the Goddess and the others who comforted Xuan Shen Great Emperor. After all, this was something no one wished to see.
Xuan Shen Great Emperor turned and left, stating firmly, "I will go think of a method. During the Mythical Epoch, our Pangu Universe was at its peak of prosperity. There must be a way to allow Young Friend Ye to recover."
The Sovereign of Formlessness sighed lightly. "What a pity. The Human Sovereign is currently in slumber. Otherwise, with his capabilities, he might not be unable to resolve Young Friend Ye's Dao injuries."
The Human Sovereign was the reincarnation of the Cycle Great Emperor, once a Colossus from antiquity. He was currently undergoing reincarnation, and in this life, he was in the awakening stage, displaying strength clearly superior to other Supreme Ones.
With the Human Sovereign's capabilities, there might have been a way.
...
As time passed, the former alien domain was gradually purified and reclaimed. Moreover, with the Heavenly Dao Sun spanning the sky, the myriad Daos of the countless domains further flourished and boiled. The cultivation environment improved day by day, giving rise to countless talented prodigies, and even a batch of Supreme Geniuses emerged.
However, Ye Chen remained in a state of deep unconsciousness.
His injuries were in a state of relative equilibrium, no longer worsening, but also showing no signs of recovery.
The experts of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion and the Heavenly Kingdom guarded him constantly, and Ye Chen was also posthumously appointed by Pangu Palace as its fifth Palace Lord.
During this period, the two human Supreme Ones, the Sovereign of Formlessness and Xuan Shen Great Emperor, came from time to time, using their own Supreme essence blood to nourish him, hoping to improve his condition.
It must be said, this was indeed a feasible method. Supreme essence blood was incomparably precious. Especially under the personal guidance of the two, Ye Chen's injuries received a certain degree of alleviation, slowly developing towards a better direction.
But judging by his condition, who knew how many tens of thousands of years it would take for a true recovery? It was very slow, but at least it was better than nothing.
Time flowed leisurely. Soon, twenty years had passed.
This year, Ye Chen finally awoke.
"Yue!"
"Father!"
"Battle Saint King!"
...
Everyone cried out joyfully.
