The Universe Chaos Body was immensely powerful, even surpassing the Chaos Holy Body of the past.
However, it possessed an extremely significant flaw—it could not utilize Chaos Divine Power.
It wasn't that his divine power was completely sealed. On the contrary, his Chaos Divine Power was even mightier than before. It was just that all of his Chaos Divine Power had become nourishment for the Universe Origin Seed, constantly being devoured, constantly propelling the renewed growth of the Chaos Small Universe.
Of course, the Chaos Divine Power of Ye Chen's Universe Chaos Body was immeasurably vast and powerful, beyond imagination. Concentrated on the Chaos Origin Seed like this, from the moment he re-cultivated the Universe Chaos Body until now, the Chaos Origin Seed had already sprouted and grown.
In a short time, it had already grown robustly to a level not inferior to a planar world, transforming once more into a nascent Chaos Universe, and was still expanding at an astonishing speed.
All of this seemed to be expanding too quickly, easily causing the structure of the Chaos Small Universe to become unstable and prone to collapse.
However, Ye Chen had long ago possessed the experience of nurturing a Chaos Small Universe. He was quite proficient in the expansion of a Chaos Small Universe. Everything proceeded quite smoothly; it wasn't a major problem.
Thus, a thousand years passed on the River of Time. After the Chaos Small Universe had absorbed enough Chaos Divine Power, it returned to its pre-death state, completely on par with the Ancient Heavenly Realm.
However, at this stage, even the boundless Chaos Divine Power of the Universe Chaos Body found it difficult to push the Chaos Small Universe to expand and perfect itself rapidly. It completely slowed down, continuing to expand slowly.
This required the gradual passage of time.
Only when the Chaos Small Universe one day grew completely into a Primordial Chaos Universe could Ye Chen once again utilize his Chaos Divine Power.
"This is a bit troublesome. Unable to use Chaos Divine Power is equivalent to lacking nearly half my combat power."
It must be understood that Ye Chen's strength lay not only in his invincibly supreme physical body but also in his peerless divine power.
At his level, the divine power cultivated within his body contained the most powerful Forbidden Dao Rule power, far surpassing the power of the myriad heavens by an unknown degree.
Only by utilizing the divine power within his body could he unleash truly invincible, world-shaking divine abilities.
Lacking the support of Chaos Divine Power, even if he could mobilize the power of the myriad heavenly Daos with a single thought, it would be difficult to unleash Forbidden-level divine abilities corresponding to his realm.
Of course, the so-called corresponding realm only applied to levels like Eternal Giants or above. Mobilizing the power of the myriad heavenly Daos with a single thought could still pose a threat to those below the Eternal Giant level.
Ye Chen felt somewhat helpless. Moreover, wanting to wait for the Chaos Small Universe to become completely whole and perfect, who knew how long that would take.
However, it was still a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, because he had been resurrected and now possessed an even more invincible Universe Chaos Body.
Relying solely on the Universe Chaos Body, he could accomplish many things.
"Since I've been resurrected and the Chaos Small Universe has grown to this point, it's time to return to the Pangu Universe."
With a rumble, without seeing Ye Chen perform any divine ability, relying solely on the unparalleled power of the Universe Chaos Body, he directly tore open the special dimensional space of the River of Time.
Boom—
Suddenly, an endless, uncountable number of blood-colored Forbidden Heavenly Thunders fell, carrying special fragments of time, terrifyingly assaulting Ye Chen.
"What's going on?"
Ye Chen was slightly startled, sensing the peculiar nature of these blood-colored Forbidden Heavenly Thunders. They were different from the Forbidden Heavenly Thunders that punished defying heaven for resurrection, but were no less powerful. They even carried terrifying karma and causal power, extremely dreadful, bombarding him from all directions.
But he was unafraid. He threw a punch, carrying an overwhelming, supreme force that annihilated everything.
Ahead, the Forbidden Heavenly Thunders were cleared, a path forcibly blasted through.
Ye Chen forcefully traversed the vast tribulation sea formed by the coalescing blood-colored Forbidden Heavenly Thunders and finally descended successfully.
However, contrary to his expectation of descending into the Pangu Universe, his location was vastly mistaken. He ultimately descended into a vast, boundless Primordial Chaos Universe, only sensing endless Immortal Qi rushing towards him.
"The Primordial Immortal Realm?"
Ye Chen was stunned. He hadn't expected to finally enter the cosmic plane of the Primordial Immortal Realm. But feeling the continuous stream of Immortal Qi rushing towards him, every cell in his limbs and bones emitted sounds of comfort.
He clearly sensed an unprecedented, extreme craving of the Universe Chaos Body for Immortal Qi, a desperate thirst for this kind of Immortal Qi.
He was somewhat puzzled. Even his former Chaos Holy Body had never been like this, let alone the fact that he had once devoured even higher-level Immortal World energy—that was from the Immortal King Cave Abode of Immortal King Zixiao, where he had cultivated for a hundred thousand years.
Though puzzled, the pores on Ye Chen's body gave rise to numerous tiny black holes, madly devouring the Immortal Qi of this vast Immortal Domain.
The entire Immortal Domain trembled violently. All living beings were horrified, terrified to discover that the endless Immortal Qi of an entire Immortal Domain was madly rushing towards a mysterious location, forming a materialized vortex of Immortal Qi.
The Immortal Qi vortex was enormous, reaching a diameter of over a million miles, extremely astonishing.
From mortals below to Ancient Monarchs above, all were horrified and pale. Anyone capable of devouring such a massive amount of Immortal Qi was definitely no ordinary figure, at the very least an existence at the level of an Emperor Lord, possibly even a Supreme Immortal, far beyond their ability to provoke.
"Who is it?"
In the end, it alarmed the ruler of this Immortal Domain—a Supreme Immortal, who personally tore through space and descended. Because the amount of Immortal Qi Ye Chen devoured was too vast and massive, almost draining one-tenth of an entire Immortal Domain's Immortal Qi in a short time, including many spiritual veins withering into dust. This was truly astonishing.
"I devoured a bit too much. I didn't expect to alarm the Supreme Immortal of this Immortal Domain."
Sensing the personal descent of the Supreme Immortal, Ye Chen gave a slight, bitter smile. He directly tore through the void and vanished, leaving a step ahead of the Supreme Immortal.
"What rat dares to devour the Immortal Qi of my Jinxin Immortal Domain and not dare show itself, even fleeing!"
Supreme Immortal Jinxin snorted coldly. As a dignified Supreme Immortal, a generation's supreme being, how could he tolerate an outsider acting so arrogantly? He directly probed with his immortal sense.
But soon, his expression changed drastically, because the traces of the perpetrator had completely vanished. Even with his strength as a supreme-level Supreme Immortal of a generation, he couldn't detect the slightest clue.
"Could it be the work of a Quasi-Immortal King, or even an Immortal King Majesty?"
Supreme Immortal Jinxin was shocked. Moreover, involving that level, it was beyond the responsibility of a mere Supreme Immortal like him to pursue.
Ye Chen, who had torn through space and left, was unaware that a Supreme Immortal had mistaken him for a Quasi-Immortal King, or even a supreme Immortal King-level existence.
In the following years, Ye Chen repeatedly traversed various major Immortal Domains, repeatedly devouring immeasurable Immortal Qi, repeatedly alarming the Supreme Immortals of each Immortal Domain.
This caused a great commotion in the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Who exactly was it, repeatedly devouring the Immortal Qi of the myriad heavens within various major Immortal Domains, each time devouring at least over one-tenth of an entire domain's Immortal Qi?
But no one knew which mighty figure it was. Even Immortal Domains with Quasi-Immortal Kings suffered the fate of having their Immortal Qi devoured, and they too couldn't find out.
Finally, it alarmed the supreme Immortal Kings who governed the fate of the Immortal World. They personally took action to investigate, but what shocked all living beings was that there was no follow-up.
Even the Immortal King Majesty couldn't find out?
However, how could the beings of the Primordial Immortal Realm know that the one devouring the Immortal Qi of various major Immortal Domains was none other than Ye Chen?
Naturally, even though Ye Chen had resurrected and returned, with his divine power constantly being devoured by the Chaos Small Universe and unusable, he was still not someone Supreme Immortals or Quasi-Immortal Kings could track.
At this moment, he was located in a remote borderland of the Primordial Immortal Realm, sitting cross-legged.
Sinking his mind inward, he could see that within his dantian, after repeatedly devouring massive amounts of Immortal Qi from various major Immortal Domains over these days, it had ultimately condensed into an Immortal Dao Seed.
