The explosion of the Chi Yuan Demon God caused a tremendous tremor.
Vast, boundless dark blood radiance surged through the Eternal Night Domain.
Within the Dark Heavenly Gate, inside the Donghuang Sacred City, aside from the three Immortal Kings, the numerous Quasi-Immortal Kings, and the Supreme Immortals, no one below the Supreme One realm could clearly see what had just happened. They only saw the Chi Yuan Demon God suddenly shatter into pieces, nothing more, and hadn't even reacted to what occurred.
Only those at the Supreme One realm and above were shocked and horrified to understand it all.
Just how powerful was this mysterious super expert, to blast apart an Innate Chaos Demon God Dark Giant comparable to a body-refining specialist with a single punch? What level of strength was required to accomplish such a feat?
The three Immortal Kings remained silent, for they deeply understood that even if it were them, they would need to fully awaken a supreme treasure like the Donghuang Bell, an Immortal Venerable's Dao Bell, and exert their full power to have a certain chance of success.
But that was only a certain chance, not a guarantee of one hundred percent success.
It was unrealistic; even an Immortal Venerable would find it difficult to achieve.
To so forcefully shatter the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant-level Demon God body of an Innate Chaos Demon God, comparable to a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Dao Weapon, would likely require an Immortal Venerable to unleash a forbidden divine ability.
Yet, without a doubt, Ye Chen had done it, and he seemed to have done it effortlessly, with just that single punch.
His strength was probably far greater than that of an ordinary Immortal Venerable or a Primordial Giant.
Then, what level was that exactly?
And all of this was merely the beginning.
After blasting apart the Chi Yuan Demon God, Ye Chen directly opened a passage from his internal Chaos Small Universe and began collecting the fragments of the Demon God's shattered body one by one.
Innate Chaos Demon Gods were innate divine beings born with the creation of the Chaos Sea. Their Demon God bodies contained incredibly powerful Chaos origin power.
They even gave rise to super-massive worlds no less vast and expansive than the Primordial Chaos Great World itself—the Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World!
In terms of stability, it was many times more stable and indestructible than the Primordial Chaos Great World.
After all, this was the origin world nurtured within the Innate Chaos Demon God itself, nourished by vast amounts of Chaos source power. Moreover, as the Chi Yuan Demon God had reached the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant level, it had ascended to become a rare Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World.
Such a Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World was among the very best even among the origin worlds of numerous Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants. It could completely nurture Supreme Ones into existence. Compared to the Primordial Chaos Great World, which could at most nurture one Supreme One, as long as the Innate Chaos Demon God was willing to part with a portion of its Chaos origin, the Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World could continuously nurture Supreme Ones, far more powerful.
With the Chi Yuan Demon God shattered to pieces, the Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World within it was revealed.
Ye Chen took a closer look. This Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World had actually nurtured thirteen Supreme Ones, thirty-seven Monarchs, and countless experts below that level.
He couldn't help but sigh. Innate Chaos Demon Gods truly lived up to being the favored children of the Chaos Sea, born with extraordinary gifts. They themselves were immensely powerful and could also nurture such an indestructible world of ten thousand realms, with no shortage of Supreme Ones. Under ordinary circumstances, it could rival the number of Supreme Ones active on the surface of a Chaos Ancient Universe.
Of course, after cultivating to the Supreme One level, they no longer needed to devour the world origin power of the Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World. Instead, they turned to absorbing power from the outside world, and could even provide feedback to their master, the Chi Yuan Demon God.
In contrast, Ye Chen's own Chaos Small Universe, although it had long since become no less than a major realm, far surpassing the Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World by who knows how many times, still had not truly given birth to genuine living beings.
The only thing within was that coffin-shaped World Tree that had followed him into silence all those years ago.
This World Tree had also been annihilated back then, but was preserved as a seed. Now, as the Chaos Small Universe grew, it too had been nurtured and grown, long since becoming a sky-shrouding giant tree standing in the central region of the Chaos Small Universe, billions of miles tall, its canopy capable of obscuring star domains, a single leaf able to cradle a star.
But this did not count as a living being truly born from the Chaos Small Universe.
Ye Chen felt that his persistent difficulty in taking the final step might be related to the Chaos Small Universe's inability to give birth to living beings.
If the Chaos Small Universe could, like other Chaos Ancient Universes, nurture billions of races, perhaps the final step of his Chaos Great Dao could also be smoothly taken.
Of course, in another aspect, Ye Chen also felt that although his comprehension of the Chaos Great Dao had reached the perfect stage of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine ten-thousandths, seemingly only the final ten-thousandth part away, it still seemed far off.
Judging from the Origin Burial Lord of the past, the Origin Burial Lord seemed to possess a Chaos power completely opposite to the Chaos Great Dao he currently mastered.
It was as if he had only cultivated the bright side of the Chaos Great Dao, and not the dark side.
This feeling was rather peculiar.
Yet, in fact, that was indeed the case.
It was just a pity that throughout the ages, only two had reached the highest comprehension of the Chaos Great Dao: Tai Sheng Huang and himself.
Both had reached the stage of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine ten-thousandths, only the final ten-thousandth part remaining.
However, Tai Sheng Huang had not proven his Dao and become an Emperor through the Chaos Great Dao, thus losing the hope of attaining perfect Chaos.
Having reached this step, Ye Chen found that the path his predecessors could point out had been severed. Ahead lay only darkness; he could rely on nothing but himself.
Just as he lowered his head in contemplation, the billions upon billions of all living beings within the Chi Yuan Demon God's Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World felt the tremendous fluctuations from the outside world. Especially the thirteen Supreme Ones born there stared in terror at everything outside their world. To them, the Chi Yuan Demon God, who was like a creator god, had been shattered to pieces. Countless flesh, blood, and bone scattered across the endless darkness, shimmering with dazzling blood radiance, so strikingly conspicuous.
Only one figure stood amidst the endless rain of blood, slightly bowing his head as if overlooking the entire Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World, gazing down upon billions of all living beings.
Had the Chi Yuan Demon God... fallen?
Killed by this cold, stern human youth?
Ye Chen quickly snapped back to attention. Looking down from above, he saw the billions upon billions of all living beings within the Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World, and also saw the thirteen Supreme Ones.
Although they were innocent, because they were born within the Chi Yuan Demon God's origin world, they were innately branded with a soul mark belonging exclusively to the Chi Yuan Demon God. Even the thirteen Supreme Ones, who could rival the Heavenly Dao, were no exception, utterly and completely subservient to the Chi Yuan Demon God.
Therefore, leaving these billions upon billions of all living beings alive would, for Ye Chen, only mean enemies—enemies belonging to the darkness.
"My apologies. Those not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. They can only die."
A single soft sentence announced the fate of the entire Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World.
With a flip of his palm, the entire Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World was also drawn into his internal Chaos Small Universe, directly collapsing. Billions upon billions of all living beings turned to dust, becoming the most fundamental World Heart and a large amount of world fragments, all devoured one by one.
After devouring the Chi Yuan Demon God's body and the Ten Thousand Aeons Indestructible Great World, the Chaos Small Universe underwent a great change, expanding by who knows how much.
At the very least, it had expanded by over ten percent!
Equivalent to a Primordial Heavenly Realm!
