"A peerless pill has been born! That's pill light, it's too astonishing!"
Boom rumble rumble—
From the Ninth Heaven, a sea of tribulation light and thunder descended abruptly, unimaginably vast and shockingly immense.
Such a great tribulation was enough to rival a Monarch's tribulation.
Ye Chen's expression also changed; he hadn't expected a Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill to be so heaven-defying and extraordinary. Yet, he showed no fear. He summoned his Chaos Thunder Source and actively entered the sea of tribulation light and thunder, wantonly devouring billions of layers of lightning.
He also allowed the now-complete and perfected Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill to be baptized within the sea of tribulation light and thunder.
It was clearly visible that this was no ordinary Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill. It erupted with overwhelming spiritual light, possessed its own sentience, and transformed into a majestic humanoid figure. It wore an imperial crown, was clad in purple-gold dragon armor, wielded a Sun-Destroying Heavenly Halberd, and controlled the mighty power of the starry sky as it struck out within the sea of tribulation light and thunder.
Each strike could shatter vast swathes of the tribulation sea, and it would then devour the spirituality contained within the thunder tribulation, continuously amplifying its own spiritual light.
The more it did so, the more powerful it became.
In a daze, it was as if an ancient Great Emperor was reviving.
Ye Chen's expression grew serious, quite worried that this humanoid Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill might escape.
Because the one who had refined this Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill in the past was not only a Dan God but also an ancient Great Emperor—the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor. The essence, energy, and spirit he left within the Emperor Pill had now given rise to its own sentience, mastering the immense power contained within the Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill.
The current strength of the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill was likely not the slightest bit inferior to a Tenth Heaven Sovereign.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Visible to the naked eye, the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill transformed, shifting from its humanoid form into a purple-gold True Dragon billions of miles in size. It coiled above the Thirty-Three Heavens, devouring all thunder tribulations, converting everything into its own, continuously elevating itself, continuously metamorphosing, increasingly manifesting an aura of indestructibility.
Upon its body, the essence, energy, and spirit of the ancient Great Emperor grew ever more vigorous, emanating faint traces of Great Emperor aura, as if it were beginning to march toward the Emperor's Dao.
"It's getting a bit strong."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, gazing at this Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill, yet he did not stop it.
Boom—
Suddenly, the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill transformed from its True Dragon state, reverting to its awe-inspiring humanoid form. With the stride of a dragon and the pace of a tiger, it arrived before Ye Chen in an instant. Its majestic face, eyes as deep as the starry sky, looked coldly at Ye Chen and said, "Your physical body is very powerful. This Emperor needs your body. Offer it up in sacrifice. This Emperor will grant you transcendence. In the future, I shall refine an Emperor Body for you, allowing you to truly become an Emperor."
It attacked, and with a mere wave, unleashed the supreme power of the Tenth Heaven, terrifyingly excessive.
The entire starry sky was forcibly shattered, darkness appeared, and light was extinguished!
Tenth-Rank Emperor Pills belonged to legend; each one required the personal refinement of a Dan God.
However, throughout history, half of those who achieved the status of Dan God were ancient Great Emperors. Therefore, once an Emperor Pill was refined, it basically also contained a trace of an ancient Great Emperor's essence, energy, and spirit, making it exceptionally powerful, capable of gaining sentience and displaying unimaginably supreme power.
Like the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill before them, it contained a trace of the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor's essence, energy, and spirit, which had completely transformed into its own. Thus, it could unleash the supreme combat power of a Tenth Heaven Sovereign.
What kind of concept was that? Even a prodigy like Ye Chen had spent over a thousand years to finally reach such a state. Yet, a Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill possessed such divine might the moment it was born.
In the distance, the Ice Flame Monarch and the other two Star Sky Overlords watched, trembling.
What kind of existence was that? Why did this peerless expert appear right after the pill light? He was far more powerful than them.
The Primordial Devouring Star Beast also trembled.
The only one who could face it was Ye Chen alone.
"Sacrifice? Based on a mere pill like you? Ridiculous!"
Ye Chen sneered. The might of his Quasi-Monarch body instantly manifested. Combined with his own Dao techniques, he stood at the pinnacle of the Tenth Heaven Sovereign's realm of creation. The winds and clouds changed color, and phenomena appeared.
He was like an ancient Great Emperor, clashing with the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill in a single strike. His supreme, matchless power directly disintegrated all of the latter's attacks, nearly causing the humanoid form to explode and revert to its original Emperor Pill appearance.
Even within the same Tenth Heaven level, there were vast differences, let alone compared to Ye Chen at the peak of the Tenth Heaven—absolute suppression!
Only then did the Ice Flame Monarch and the others realize that the true identity of that peerless expert was actually the legendary Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill!
Silently and without a trace, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body appeared, causing the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill to change color. It instinctively sensed the supreme nature of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and turned to flee skyward.
"Stay here and completely heal my injuries!"
Ye Chen said coldly, attacking together with the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body in a pincer assault.
Especially the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, whose strength was supremely powerful. With the absolute power of the Monarch level, it suppressed even this special, sentient Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill, which was utterly no match for it and was subdued without any ability to resist.
"No! I finally came into being. I refuse to be refined like this!"
The Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill roared, filled with endless unwillingness.
Boom—
Ignoring the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill's struggles, Ye Chen grabbed it. Chaos Source Fire appeared, forcefully erasing the sentience contained within the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill.
After a month passed, the sentience of the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill was completely erased, yet its medicinal efficacy remained entirely undamaged. Spiritual light still erupted, but no new sentience was born. Ye Chen directly devoured and consumed it.
In a short time, the Eight Desolates Dragon Emperor Pill was fully refined by the Chaos Source Fire and the power of the universe, giving birth to indescribably vast streams of power. Each stream was enough to suppress an ordinary Ancient Monarch, and there were thousands upon thousands of such streams within his body, surging in all directions. All the residual power of the Heavenly Dao Sun within his body was completely resolved.
Without a doubt, from this moment on, Ye Chen began his most comprehensive recovery.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
When all injuries were completely resolved, countless Monarch Rules erupted from within Ye Chen's body. Especially the Chaos Monarch Rules, which reached a full 2.3 million, comparable to the ordinary 23 million Monarch Rules.
There were also several million other cultivated Monarch Rules. The total number of Monarch Rules Ye Chen commanded was equivalent to 30 million Monarch Rules.
Naturally, this was merely the Monarch Rules he commanded. Measuring the strength of an Ancient Monarch also involved aspects like his physical body, origin world, Monarch Indestructible Weapons, and others. Only when all these were combined did they represent the peak combat power of an Ancient Monarch.
Not counting the Chaos Saint Body, just combining it with the Chaos Small Universe and the Chaos Great Cauldron was enough to possess power at the level of 70 million Monarch Rules.
Adding the Chaos Saint Body, which rivaled the physical body of a Tenth Heaven Sovereign Quasi-Monarch, his strength directly reached the peak of the Tenth Heaven, like the former Second Emperor Envoy, not far from the Monarch realm.
That level of combat power approached 100 million Monarch Rules.
Unprecedentedly powerful!
Sensing the endless supreme pressure continuously emanating from the Battle Saint King's body, the Ice Flame Monarch and the other two Star Sky Overlords, as well as the Primordial Devouring Star Beast, were all utterly shocked.
