This was a silent star domain, where starlight shone brilliantly.
"Senior."
"Young Friend, let me examine your injuries."
At this moment, the Golden Crow Great Emperor began to act, attempting to dissipate the injuries within Ye Chen's body.
His actions were simple and unadorned, with only streams of golden light entering Ye Chen's body, supplemented by the aura sense of a Quasi-Giant to probe.
After a while, the Golden Crow Great Emperor couldn't help but frown. "Young Friend, your injuries are quite special. If it were the power of that alien Emperor Wanyan, I could dissipate it, as we are both Quasi-Giants. But the power of the Heavenly Dao Sun cannot be dissipated. That power belongs to the Heavenly Dao of your Pangu Universe, bolstered by the Universe's origin. I ultimately come from outside the Pangu Universe. If I were to attempt to dissipate it, I would be suppressed by the Pangu Universe's origin."
Ye Chen sighed slightly. Was this the result after all?
It seemed truly difficult for him to fully recover.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor then smiled. "Young Friend, you need not worry so. Although I have no method, the Human Emperor of your Ancient Universe might be able to do it. I've learned some relevant information—the Human Emperor is the reincarnation body of the Reincarnation Great Emperor. With his methods, he should be able to dissipate the Dao injuries on you."
Ye Chen smiled faintly. For now, that was all he could do.
"Ah, right!"
The Golden Crow Great Emperor said nothing more, simply flicking his sleeve to release the Chaos Holy Realm, which instantly occupied an extremely vast expanse of starry space. "Young Friend, this is your Chaos Holy Realm."
Seeing the appearance of the Chaos Holy Realm, Ye Chen was startled, feeling increasingly that this was extraordinary.
If nothing were amiss, the Golden Crow Great Emperor would not have brought the Chaos Holy Realm from the Old Origin Ancient Path. His heart sank immediately, having a premonition as his expression changed. "Senior, could it be—"
The Golden Crow Great Emperor nodded silently.
Ye Chen felt as if struck by lightning. The Chaos Burial Ground had actually been unsealed and emerged!
It was simply unbelievable.
"As early as several hundred years ago, there were—"
The Golden Crow Great Emperor spoke slowly, recounting everything that had happened on the Old Origin Ancient Path. After hearing all this, Ye Chen couldn't help but clench his fists.
There were actually people within the Chaos Sea, even involving Ancient Titans, who had secretly acted to unseal the Chaos Burial Ground.
He could fully imagine the impact the Chaos Burial Ground would have on the Chaos Sea, especially on the Pangu Universe, once it fully recovered.
After all, the Chaos Burial Ground was once a terrifying great universe that had buried an entire epoch.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor patted Ye Chen's shoulder and sighed softly. "Young Friend, you all should prepare. I'm afraid that in less than a thousand years, the Chaos Burial Ground will truly emerge."
A thousand years?
Ye Chen fell silent. A thousand years was neither short nor long, filling him with great anxiety.
Even a peerless genius like him dared not guarantee he would definitely advance to the Supreme One realm within a thousand years, especially since the Chaos Burial Ground was not lacking in Ancient Titan-level Heavenly Sovereigns.
For him now, time was already very tight. He had no choice but to reach a more powerful level before the Chaos Burial Ground fully emerged.
But what was most worrying was that, at present, he was practically crippled. Both his true body and his Great Emperor Reincarnation Body were so severely injured—how could he face the Chaos Burial Ground?
What if the Human Emperor truly had no method?
He would probably have to head to the Old Origin Ancient Path as soon as possible to find several Ancient Titans of the Pangu Universe to resolve these issues.
Ye Chen got straight to the point, directly asking the Golden Crow Great Emperor if there were other paths to quickly reach the Supreme One realm.
Now that there was a corresponding method to dissipate the injuries within his body, the difficulty lay in how to advance to Supreme One within a thousand years.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor pondered for a moment. He knew Ye Chen's thoughts. After a while, he said, "Regarding the Supreme One realm, don't think too much about it for now. For you, the first priority is to recover. Second, cultivate the Eternal Sovereign realm to its peak, then become an Eternal Monarch. Only then should you consider Supreme One."
"You must understand how extraordinary the strong on the Path of Eternity are, especially you, who are comparable to the Heavenly Emperor and the Primordial Ancestor in their youth. How astonishingly talented, how peerlessly brilliant you are, surpassing others from the God King realm onward, so that as a Quasi-Sovereign and Sovereign, you far exceed countless other cultivators of the same rank."
"I have a premonition that once you reach the extreme on the Path of the Eternal Sovereign, you will likely be no weaker than ordinary Monarchs, perhaps even stronger."
"And if one day you become an Eternal Monarch, even among Eternal Monarchs, you are destined to be stronger than the Primordial Monarch, even stronger than the Formless Sovereign."
He spoke thus, evaluating Ye Chen highly, higher than ever before.
But indeed, in a sense, Ye Chen's foundations in all aspects were more terrifying than the Formless Sovereign's.
Consider this: Ye Chen stepped onto the Path of Eternity from the Quasi-Sovereign realm, while the Formless Sovereign only truly stepped onto it from the Ancient Sovereign realm. Ye Chen started earlier from the beginning, so at the same realm, he naturally traveled farther on the Path of Eternity.
Ye Chen said, "Senior, I understand this point well. But how to walk this path, for now, I can only rely on myself to explore. One thing that makes me somewhat helpless is that in the future, when I wish to prove the Dao and become an Emperor, the path I must walk is the Chaos Great Dao. This is my proof of stepping onto the Path of Eternity, and also my proof of invincibility. But regarding achieving Emperor through the Chaos Dao, even now, I dare not claim I will certainly succeed."
He sighed softly, feeling deeply helpless.
One must know how difficult it is to prove the Dao and become an Emperor through the Chaos path. Throughout the ages, this difficulty has stumped countless people, including peerless geniuses of an entire epoch. Even a Colossus from Antiquity like Tai Sheng Huang, hailed as the most profound existence in the Chaos Great Dao throughout history, still fell just short of perfection.
But it was precisely this slight difference that prevented Tai Sheng Huang from crossing it for countless millennia.
One could even say that this slight difference was like the gap between heaven and earth.
It was imaginable how difficult it was.
Although Ye Chen had fortunately obtained all of Tai Sheng Huang's remaining Chaos insights and had comprehended quite a bit by now, in truth, the Chaos Great Dao he had comprehended was probably only about five or six ten-thousandths.
Chaos, the origin of all Daos, was profoundly mysterious, containing principles far surpassing all other Daos.
To completely comprehend it was no easy task, especially since the Chaos Great Dao was called the only Eternal Dao.
Back then, Tai Sheng Huang comprehended nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine ten-thousandths, leaving the final ten-thousandth beyond his grasp.
It was imaginable that Ye Chen had only comprehended about five or six ten-thousandths. For him, the Chaos Great Dao remained unfathomably deep. To completely comprehend it, he did not know in which year, month, or day he would truly succeed.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor suddenly smiled. "Young Friend, if it were anyone else, I wouldn't know. But if it's you, I see a glimmer of true possibility."
