BOOM—
The next moment, the boiling infinite Faith Power suddenly ignited, burning with a brilliance ten thousand times more intense than the sun, causing Ye Chen's heart to wrench in agony as he roared, "No—"
But it was impossible to stop. Yan Wushuang directly burned the infinite Faith Power she had accumulated bit by bit over centuries, and she intensified the combustion, causing her own power to skyrocket countless times in an instant, reaching a level at least equivalent to a Monarch of the Fivefold Heaven or higher.
Naturally, such a terrifyingly extreme enhancement also caused the Faith Power to diminish drastically.
That magnitude likely could only be maintained for a brief moment.
But it was already enough.
Like a being of flame, Yan Wushuang threw herself at the Imperial Monarch Bone Arrow, like a moth flying into the fire, burning to her absolute limit, stunning the mortal world.
BOOM—
With a deafening explosion, Yan Wushuang blasted apart. Her entire being, carrying infinite Faith Power, completely exploded, transforming into an eternal radiance that slammed fiercely into the Imperial Monarch Bone Arrow, stirring up an unprecedented surge of dazzling light.
Yan Wushuang perished, burning and exploding with all her Faith Power, solely to block the ultimate strike of the Imperial Monarch Bone Arrow.
This pained Ye Chen immensely. This was his disciple, willing to sacrifice everything, even her life, for him, filling his heart with boundless guilt.
Unfortunately, the explosive radiance comparable to a Fivefold Heaven Monarch's strike was instantly shattered by the Imperial Monarch Bone Arrow, which remained largely unaffected and continued shooting toward Ye Chen.
The Third Emperor Envoy sneered coldly, "A mere God King, even with profound research into Faith Power and a full-scale combustion, is still just that. At most, she could only unleash a single strongest strike rivaling a Fivefold Heaven Monarch, nothing more. To think she could block the Imperial Monarch Bone Arrow like this."
The crisis remained. Who could possibly block the Imperial Monarch Bone Arrow?
Ye Chen raged, wanting to roar at the heavens.
Today, the Third Emperor Envoy dared to kill his personal disciple. Even if he did not undergo the tribulation, even if he could not achieve physical body Emperorhood today, he would still kill him.
"Battle Saint King, wait! Please continue your tribulation and complete the final step of perfection!"
A voice rang out, echoing through the starry sky.
RUMBLE—
Suddenly, another figure descended from the heavens, white-haired and aged, supporting an incomparably grand cauldron. That cauldron was extraordinarily extraordinary, as if containing an ancient universe within.
"The Dan Emperor Cauldron! It's the Dan Emperor Clan!"
The people of the world exclaimed in shock, never expecting that at this critical moment, even the Dan Emperor Clan would appear. Observing their stance, however, they, like Yan Wushuang, had come to aid the Battle Saint King.
Rumors said the Dan Emperor Clan had a poor relationship with the Battle Saint King, didn't they?
"With my Dan Emperor Clan here, no one shall harm a single hair on the Battle Saint King!"
The old Monarch of the Dan Emperor Clan shouted, his body nearly burning as boundless divine power caused the Dan Emperor Cauldron to awaken, directly confronting that Imperial Monarch Bone Arrow. He transmitted a voice filled with remorse to Ye Chen, "I apologize, Battle Saint King. This old one was previously blinded and obsessed. I beg your forgiveness."
Ye Chen was moved. At this time, even the Nine Yan Imperial Clan, which was originally close, had suddenly distanced themselves and chosen to watch from the sidelines. Yet it was the Dan Emperor Clan, with whom there had been some estrangement, that actively appeared, even willing to sacrifice their Supreme Emperor Weapon to assist.
There was a saying that held absolutely true: only in times of adversity can one truly discern who is a friend and who is a stranger.
The Dan Emperor Cauldron surged forward, colliding with the Imperial Monarch Bone Arrow. With a thunderous crash, although the Dan Emperor Cauldron was the ancient colossus Dao weapon of the Dan Emperor, it was not fully awakened—only its surface was simply revived—so there remained a vast gap. The Imperial Monarch Bone Arrow, however, had truly reached the Monarch level.
CLANG!
The Dan Emperor Cauldron was also sent flying, as if struck by a Monarch's casual blow. It shot backward and slammed into the old Monarch, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood, his physical body blasting apart as he suffered grievous injuries!
"Ancestor!"
From the depths of the starry sky on the other side, within the Dan Realm, the members of the Dan Emperor Clan cried out in alarm.
The Third Emperor Envoy coldly watched the Dan Emperor Clan's old Monarch with his blasted-apart body, "A mere Fivefold Heaven old Monarch, even wielding a Supreme Emperor Weapon—so what? It's still difficult to contend with a Monarch-level existence. That you didn't die immediately is only thanks to this Supreme Emperor Weapon. After killing the Battle Saint King, the next target will be the complete annihilation of the Dan Emperor Clan. Daring to oppose my Soul Forbidden Hall—even an imperial clan shall be obliterated!"
His words carried overwhelming arrogance and dominance, not placing imperial clans in his eyes at all.
The myriad races of the starry sky shuddered. The Battle Saint King was destined to be shot dead!
"I'd like to see who dares annihilate the Dan Emperor Clan!"
A calm, emotionless voice slowly spread forth.
BOOM—
Heavenly thunder flashed and rumbled. Suddenly, the terrifying physical body Monarch tribulation vanished.
That vast and boundless tribulation light and thunder sea, covering not just one star domain but an excessively vast expanse, disappeared in a single instant—so abruptly, so suddenly, as if it had never existed.
The people of the world were astounded!
What had happened?
This shouldn't be! The Monarch tribulation should have lasted at least a while longer. Why did it vanish so suddenly?
At this moment, Ye Chen's shattered physical body began to reassemble. The flesh, blood, and white bones scattered across the starry sky flowed backward, perfectly reforming in less than the blink of an eye.
Physical Body Emperorhood Achieved!
The heavenly tribulation departed; the physical body finally became a Monarch!
Ye Chen stood tall in the depths of the starry sky. Though covered in blood and his battle armor shattered, he remained peerlessly heroic and majestic, like a young Great Emperor.
Standing within the Monarch domain with his Chaos Supreme Body, he felt a peculiar sensation, as if countless shackles existed within his body, always restraining his physical form. But with the achievement of physical body Emperorhood, shackle after shackle was breaking, and gate after gate was opening almost every moment.
Those were divine treasure gates, awakening the potential of his physical body—a comprehensive awakening.
A Monarch-level physical body, true blood surging. Although not all blood had transformed into vibrant true blood, over fifty percent had.
Every additional trace of true blood increased his strength by a notch, let alone a full twenty percent increase, reaching over fifty percent. The enhancement of his physical body's power was not a simple twenty or thirty percent, but more than ten times greater than before!
"So this is the profound mystery of a Monarch-level physical body. It even touches, to some extent, the supreme and peerless Emperor Dao domain, with wisps of supreme Emperor might descending, baptizing and transforming the physical body, breaking past shackles, and awakening more potential."
Ye Chen gained a moment of enlightenment, as if fortune had touched his spirit. Only upon achieving a Monarch-level physical body did this occur.
That transcendent imposing might, surpassing even Tenth Heaven Sovereigns, erupted, spreading unrestrained, suppressing the entire cosmic starry sky and shaking who knew how many star domains.
Shaking the great universe!
Within this vast starry sky, the myriad heavenly Daos were all repelled.
This was Monarch-level imposing might. Ye Chen's true form stood atop the starry sky, suppressing the myriad Daos, displaying the peerless imposing might belonging to a Monarch-level physical body!
Layer upon layer of terrifying imposing might spread out, even suppressing the people within this vast cosmic territory enveloping countless star domains, making it hard for them to breathe.
