Boom—
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body suddenly moved, arriving before the Second Emperor Envoy with extreme speed. Its seemingly tender small hand reached out to grab him, yet it caused the Second Emperor Envoy's entire body to crack, an unparalleled sense of crisis flashing in his heart as he immediately raised his arm to block.
Splat—
Blood light splattered as the Second Emperor Envoy's figure was sent flying backward. The arm he used to block was shattered, dripping with blood.
How is this possible?
The Second Emperor Envoy roared inwardly, unable to believe what was happening. He was a Peak Sovereign of the Tenth Heaven, not far from the Monarch realm, yet his arm had been broken in a single encounter.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body said coldly, "A mere Tenth Heaven dares to clamor before me? I've even killed Monarchs before."
With the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body executing the Battle Saint technique, the Heaven-Shaking Hand emerged as if it could shatter the great universe itself. No matter how powerful the Second Emperor Envoy was, he couldn't possibly match an opponent like the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body that rivaled a Monarch. He was directly pierced through, a bloody hole appearing on his body as he bled profusely, looking utterly wretched with over a dozen of his bones shattered.
The Ice Flame Monarch and the other two Star Sky Overlords stared dumbfounded at this scene.
That was the Second Emperor Envoy, a dignified Peak Sovereign of the Tenth Heaven, yet he was so utterly powerless.
Moreover, they heard that was merely a Dao body of the Battle Saint King. No wonder he was so fearless—he actually possessed such an overwhelmingly powerful Dao body.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body completely suppressed the Second Emperor Envoy, attacking repeatedly. Blood light continuously splattered, and it was clear to the naked eye that the Second Emperor Envoy was completely at a disadvantage, being beaten down everywhere, covered in wounds and exceptionally disheveled. It seemed it wouldn't be long before even self-preservation became a problem.
"Ascend!"
The Second Emperor Envoy hurriedly executed the ascension secret technique bestowed by the Heaven Soul Great Emperor, forcibly elevating himself.
Boom—
But with a tremendous roar, the Second Emperor Envoy's figure was sent flying, his ascension forcibly interrupted as the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body struck out horizontally, forcefully disrupting his advancement.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was utterly cold. "Who gave you the chance to ascend before me?"
What Second Emperor Envoy, what Tenth Heaven Sovereign—nothing more than this!
There was a vast difference between the early Ninth Heaven Sovereign and the peak Tenth Heaven Sovereign.
Similarly, there was a vast difference between the peak Tenth Heaven Sovereign and a Monarch, and this gap was even greater.
Do not forget, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was forged from part of a Supreme Emperor's physique, possessing a new Emperor World that surpassed ordinary Supreme Emperor Worlds, as well as a complete Emperor Dao origin that could give rise to Supreme might. With all these powers combined, its imposing manner was no ordinary terror.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body had already grabbed the Second Emperor Envoy by the neck. The originally peerlessly handsome Second Emperor Envoy now appeared exceptionally ferocious, showing not a trace of fear as he said, "Battle Saint King, you have indeed exceeded my expectations. But once the First Emperor Envoy emerges, you will truly understand what it means to be utterly—"
Boom—
Blood light shot toward the heavens as the Second Emperor Envoy's head was directly blasted apart. The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body said coldly, "Utterly hopeless. Even if the First Emperor Envoy is a Supreme One, I am not afraid. Let him come, and I will kill him along with the rest."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body displayed Monarch-level power, unleashing thirteen consecutive full-force attacks that blasted apart the Second Emperor Envoy's form and spirit, completely shattering him to pieces. His peak Tenth Heaven Sovereign Great World was devoured.
Rumble—
The Chaos Small Universe expanded considerably. Ye Chen's true self's strength further returned to the level of sixteen million Sovereign rules, becoming even more powerful.
The Second Emperor Envoy had fallen!
This news also spread wildly throughout the universe.
The great universe was shaken, even more so than when the Battle Saint King killed the five Emperor Envoys.
That was the Second Emperor Envoy, a Peak Sovereign of the Tenth Heaven, not far from the Monarch realm, just a step away. Yet even such a Peak Sovereign had fallen, and it was heard to be the Battle Saint King's doing as well.
Had the Battle Saint King become a Monarch? Otherwise, how could he have killed the Second Emperor Envoy?
At this time, Ye Chen was unaware of the various rumors circulating outside.
After the peak battle with the Second Emperor Envoy, Ye Chen gained many insights. Once again, he used the Hunyuan Long River to encircle himself, entering a state of seclusion. Moreover, having successively killed the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Second Emperor Envoys—six Emperor Envoys in total—he naturally reaped great rewards, obtaining their precious divine treasures, which included many supreme treasures, pills, and more.
"Hmm?"
While inventorying the various divine treasures of the five Emperor Envoys, Ye Chen actually discovered a medicine bottle sealed with layer upon layer of seals. It was forged from Chaos Immortal Gold, refined to be as peerlessly indestructible as a Star Sky Overlord-level weapon.
Faintly visible within the medicine bottle was a pill the size of a thumb, also in a state of extreme sealing—an absolute seal personally applied by the Second Emperor Envoy. The sealing power was so strong that even a Star Sky Overlord, if sealed by it, would likely find it difficult to break such a seal.
"A peak Tenth Heaven strongest seal personally applied by the Second Emperor Envoy... this pill is probably not simple."
Opening the Heaven's Eye, which could pierce through all falsehoods, Ye Chen saw that beneath the layers of seals, this seemingly ordinary pill actually radiated billions of resplendent rays of light, shimmering in myriad colors. It seemed as if the myriad spirits of all heavens were sealed within, or as if an ancient Great Emperor lay dormant within, with faint traces of ancient Emperor aura manifesting.
Swish—
At this moment, the ancient Great Emperor slumbering within the pill suddenly awakened, opening its eyes. A majestic figure instantly appeared before Ye Chen's eyes, treading upon the sun, moon, and stars, bearing the myriad Daos of all heavens, peerless and unmatched.
A magnificent ancient Great Emperor aura bloomed, faint Emperor light flickering, actually stinging Ye Chen's eyes until they turned slightly red and painful, mist forming within them.
A Great Emperor!
An ancient Great Emperor was sealed within this pill?
But soon, Ye Chen's astonishment subsided as he calmed down. Looking at this special pill, beams of divine light shot from his eyes. "So that's how it is. If I'm not mistaken, this is not an ancient Great Emperor being sealed at all. The Second Emperor Envoy could never have sealed an ancient Great Emperor. This should be a Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill. To be strict, it's a small half of a Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill!"
This pill was small, only the size of a thumb, but the truth was it was a small half of an Emperor Pill, roughly one-third of a complete Emperor Pill.
Perhaps stimulated by Ye Chen's gaze, the Emperor Pill suddenly radiated incomparably brilliant Dao light, supremely powerful. Even the layers of seals couldn't conceal it, and it continuously impacted the seals of the medicine bottle.
If not for the fact that this was a Dao seal personally applied by a peak Tenth Heaven Sovereign like the Second Emperor Envoy, ordinary Ancient Sovereigns would never be able to withstand such a Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill, even if it was only one-third of one. It still contained unimaginable supreme power.
After all, Ye Chen could sense that within this small half of a Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill was contained the essence, energy, and spirit of an ancient Great Emperor, making it exceptionally extraordinary.
"What a fine Tenth-Rank remnant pill. Though incomplete, it still holds the hope of completely resolving the injuries from the Heavenly Dao Sun's residual power within my body. Once completely resolved, not only will I fully recover, I might even advance a step further."
Ye Chen was overjoyed.
