Of course, Ye Chen understood this could not be permanent. As time gradually passed, this defense would be refined and dissolved like boiling a frog in warm water, and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body would ultimately be melted down.
The Half-Emperor Body was not so fortunate. It was merely one-seventh of the flesh and blood of the original Supreme Emperor Body, lacking the protection of Emperor Dao Origin. Under the power of this Emperor Flame, it too slowly approached the brink of melting.
As the Chaos Saint Body gradually entered the melting process, Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Soul entered the Origin Small Universe. With a whoosh, it shot out from within his body and directly plunged into the Chaos Sea.
Boom—
Instantly, the vast, boundless Chaos Sea territory spanning who knows how many billions of li began to boil violently.
It was like a whale entering the ocean from a fish pond, being in its element. The Chaos Small Universe, with a diameter of only billions of li, manifested countless black holes on its surface—one after another, densely packed, thousands upon thousands—madly devouring the endless Chaos Ancient Qi.
In the Realm Sea, the embryonic forms of the surrounding worlds and heavens were also pulled over and devoured.
The Origin Worlds of the three alien Monarchs had long since been drawn over and were being devoured.
On the other side, relying on the embryonic Upper Realm of the Origin Small Universe, a terrifying devouring force was also unleashed, swallowing the boundless Chaos Qi.
During this period, with Ye Chen's will empowering it, the devouring force was not something an ownerless Chaos Universe embryo could compare to.
His true body burned, his Origin Universe expanded. At this moment, Ye Chen felt a sudden enlightenment, plunging into the Dao Realm. He fully opened his mind and body, frantically comprehending the vast sea of Chaos insights left by Tai Sheng Huang.
His understanding of the Great Dao of Chaos rapidly increased.
Strands of Chaos Sovereign Rules were also rapidly condensing, swirling around him.
Hum—
Responding to a special resonance, the Chaos Emperor's Crown hovered above the Chaos Saint Soul's head, resonating with it, causing Chaos to surge wildly.
...
There were no sun or moon in the cave, and cultivation made one lose track of time!
The Imperial Dao Heavenly Sun burned, the Origin Universe expanded, the Saint Soul comprehended the Dao.
Unknowingly, a hundred years passed during such cultivation.
When the Chaos Saint Soul awoke from its Dao comprehension and opened its eyes again, the diameter of the Origin Universe had expanded by nearly ten million li.
The number of Chaos Sovereign Rules had, over the century, inexplicably condensed a full three to four hundred thousand strands, reaching over 2.7 million strands—comparable to 27 million strands of ordinary Sovereign Rules!
To achieve this step in a century was truly a great gain.
The embryonic Upper Realm had also grown considerably.
The Chaos Saint Soul lifted its gaze to look at the Chaos Emperor's Crown.
Comprehending Chaos while wearing the Emperor's Crown was like having a Chaos Heavenly Emperor who had traversed the ages personally guide his cultivation. Saying his progress was a thousand li a day would be an understatement.
Ye Chen took off the Chaos Emperor's Crown and looked at it quietly.
Could this Chaos Emperor's Crown truly have been left behind by a Chaos Heavenly Emperor?
He then looked at another special Supreme Divine Crown—the Crown of Eternity, flowing with nine colors, falling into brief silence.
The Crown of Eternity was an Origin Sacred Artifact.
The Chaos Emperor's Crown's origins were also quite extraordinary.
Setting these thoughts aside for now, Ye Chen left behind a Soul Imprint to manipulate the Origin Small Universe to continue devouring the vast Chaos Qi for expansion and growth. His Chaos Saint Soul then detached from the Origin Small Universe and returned to the Imperial Dao Heavenly Sun. There, he saw that the forms and spirits of the three alien Monarchs had all transformed into special clusters of light and flame, their flesh, blood, and souls melted together, capable of burning form and spirit—utterly terrifying.
This was excellent furnace fire!
The Half-Emperor Body had also transformed into clusters of crystalline flesh and blood, emanating the vast, majestic vitality of an Ancient Great Emperor.
Previously, Yuanchu Imperial Son's flesh body had turned into impurities and been refined away, leaving only a mass of pure Yuanchu Emperor Ancestor bloodline power. However, all of the Yuanchu Emperor Ancestor's Emperor Dao Imprints had been completely incinerated.
Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Body, at this moment, was also reduced to a skeleton of faintly glowing white bone, with streams of crystalline crimson blood circulating around the bone structure.
The quantity was not large, but each drop of blood could reflect a vast, rainbow-bright starry sky, with the Ten Thousand Daos boiling within as if the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Daos had been refined into every single drop.
This was precisely Chaos True Blood!
A single drop of Chaos True Blood could annihilate an early-stage Ancient Sovereign!
Before him lay the essence of Ye Chen's entire being.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, after a century of burning by the Emperor Flame, had its Emperor Dao Light successfully burned through. It had also melted back into a mass of Supreme Emperor Body flesh and blood, while the complete Emperor Dao Origin and Origin Emperor World reappeared.
Swoosh—
The Chaos Saint Soul entered the skeletal body. Within the eye sockets of the crystalline white skull, soul light flickered unsteadily as he slowly nodded.
A century of burning his true body was finally complete.
The next step was to refine and merge the true body, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, and the Half-Emperor Body, enabling the Chaos Saint Body to reach the peak state of an Eternal Sovereign.
A Monarch-level flesh body was not yet the ultimate state of the Chaos Saint Body as an Eternal Sovereign.
The fire from the forms and spirits of the three alien Monarchs would become the strongest furnace fire, hammering and refining the three a thousand times over, sublimating them to the extreme, advancing toward the peak realm of an Eternal Sovereign.
Even breaking into the realm of an Eternal Monarch!
"To refine the ultimate Chaos Saint Body, using the forms and spirits of the three Monarchs as the supreme furnace fire, but Senior Brother Sun's Solar Emperor Flame must also assist. No, I must employ an even more powerful furnace fire to accelerate the advancement speed!"
Ye Chen exhaled lightly, opening his mouth to spit out his own Chaos Source Fire. At the same time, the Chaos Fire Source flame gifted to him by the Flame Emperor also flew out, merging into it. Combined with the Solar Great Emperor's Origin Emperor Flame, it became an even more terrifying furnace fire.
A flame comparable to the true Origin Emperor Flame of an Ancient Great Emperor of the Fire Dao instantly engulfed everything.
The Monarch's body and the Monarch's soul all began to burn, transforming into an unprecedented, strongest furnace fire tinged with threads of blood. Infinite Sovereign Rules surged out, refined within, then submerged toward Ye Chen's true body, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, and the Half-Emperor Body.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Simultaneously, Ye Chen used the Imperial Dao Heavenly Sun as the furnace cauldron, with the Solar Emperor Flame, the Monarch Form-Spirit Fire, the Chaos Fire Source flame, and the Chaos Source Fire as the furnace fire, violently refining the three together.
The most terrifying fluctuations spread out. If not for the fact that this was an Imperial Dao Heavenly Sun personally left by the Solar Great Emperor, containing his Origin Emperor Power and deliberately inscribed with an Emperor Array, such a fearsome refining fluctuation would have been impossible for the entire Imperial Dao Heavenly Sun to withstand—it would have exploded violently.
Even so, the Imperial Dao Heavenly Sun trembled violently.
It was too terrifying. At this moment, the power emanating from Ye Chen's refinement of his true body far exceeded imagination.
The bone structure of the Saint Body, more indestructible than a Monarch Dao Weapon, also developed fine cracks, as if about to shatter.
True Blood boiled.
The Supreme Emperor Body flesh and blood of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and the Half-Emperor Body violently collided, blood light stretching for billions of li without cease.
The Emperor Dao Origin emitted a terrifying power capable of annihilating the Ten Thousand Daos.
Ye Chen fortified his mind and spirit, his Chaos Saint Soul manipulating the fusion and refinement of the three.
