"Damnable human, get away!"
The Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will roared. The Dark Upper Realm was something it had condensed from infinite dark power. Once seized, it would suffer immense damage. It absolutely could not allow this to happen.
"Donghuang, Desolate Heaven, lend me your strength! I need this Dark Upper Realm!"
Ye Chen spoke.
Hearing this, although Donghuang and the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord didn't fully understand the reasons, they naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch. They each nodded and also took action, helping Ye Chen seize the Dark Upper Realm.
Boom—
Amidst the great battle, the Dark Upper Realm could no longer withstand the pulling from both sides and finally completely collapsed. A Dark Upper Realm in no way inferior to the myriad heavens and domains shattered, transforming into countless fragments that shot towards various parts of the Eternal Night Domain.
"Human, you deserve death! I will kill you, grind your soul to dust to make up for this!"
Witnessing the Dark Upper Realm shatter into pieces, the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will was utterly infuriated. That was something it had spent endless ages to finally condense, intending to use it as a core to elevate the entire Eternal Night Domain into a Chaos Ancient Universe.
Once the Eternal Night Domain became a Dark Ancient Universe, it too would have the possibility of advancing further—the hope of becoming a truly Invincible Overlord.
Yet all of this had been completely annihilated before its eyes.
Hope was extinguished, turning into despair!
How furious it was!
It charged at Ye Chen without regard for anything, filled with absolute killing intent, overwhelming heaven and earth, making even Donghuang and the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord, two half-step overlords, feel their hearts pounding.
Even the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will from before wouldn't have been this enraged. It was clear it had been thoroughly and irrevocably offended.
"I also wish to kill you, to completely refine you, the Origin Will of the Eternal Night Domain!"
Ye Chen, however, licked his lips. The Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will wanted to kill Ye Chen, but he was no less eager to kill it.
The Dark Upper Realm was certainly precious, but compared to the entire Eternal Night Domain, it fell far short.
After all, the Eternal Night Domain had the hope of evolving into a true Dark Ancient Universe—a level equal to a Chaos Ancient Universe. Once the evolution was complete, it would contain vast amounts of Chaos Origin, belonging to the missing other half of the Chaos Great Dao. As long as he refined it, Ye Chen would have the chance to push his Chaos Great Dao to true Great Perfection, attain the Chaos Great Dao, and thereby become an invincible Eternal.
Therefore, in this life-or-death situation, Ye Chen wasn't the least bit afraid of the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will. After all, their side had a full three half-step overlords. The one who truly needed to fear was the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will, not him.
At the same time, Ye Chen was also guiding the Chaos Great Cauldron with his consciousness, directly devouring the fragments of the shattered Dark Upper Realm.
These were all important Dark Origin power, crucial resources for completing the Chaos Great Dao, indispensable.
The Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will naturally also continuously pulled other Dark Upper Realm fragments back, fighting while competing with Ye Chen.
However, Donghuang and the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord also seemed to realize the importance of the Dark Upper Realm to both parties. Of course, their main focus was helping Ye Chen's side, and they too continuously snatched Dark Upper Realm fragments, planning to give them to Ye Chen afterwards.
"You—"
The Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will was both shocked and furious, but it had no other recourse and could only frantically seize more Dark Upper Realm fragments.
"I will also suppress and refine you, the Origin Will of the Eternal Night Domain."
Ye Chen was mad. Grinning, he directly enlarged the ancient cauldron, even expanding the Chaos Great Cauldron, turning it upside down to completely devour and refine the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will.
It must be said, this move was astonishing. Even Donghuang and the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord hadn't expected Ye Chen to be this insane.
Wanting to suppress and refine the Origin Will of a being nearly an Invincible Overlord was incredibly difficult, almost impossible to achieve.
Nevertheless, Donghuang and the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord also cooperated with Ye Chen, aiming to suppress the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will.
"Get away from me!"
The Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will naturally wouldn't allow itself to be suppressed. It erupted with terrifying power, blasting the Chaos Great Cauldron away.
However, in its battle against the three half-step overlords, it was at a disadvantage. Even though this was its territory, it couldn't suppress them.
After all, it was ultimately a step weaker.
It wanted to call for aid from other Dark Giants, but the overall strength of the Eternal Heaven Realm was greater, with a full seven Great Heavenly Venerates and over twenty Heavenly Venerates.
At the Great Heavenly Venerate level, the Eternal Night Domain was comparable, but at the Heavenly Venerate level, the Eternal Heaven Realm's Ancient Giants were a step stronger.
Therefore, the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will could no longer count on these Dark Giants to help it.
It roared in fury, but there was nothing it could do.
Boom—
In the terrifying great battle, the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will suffered unprecedented severe wounds, nearly perishing. In the end, it directly enveloped the many Dark Giants and retreated, knowing it couldn't defeat the three of them. Continuing the fight would likely result in its complete annihilation from the world.
Although Ye Chen and the others wanted to pursue their victory, they knew that truly killing it would be very difficult. In fact, killing the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will would probably cost one or two of their own lives; they couldn't emerge completely unscathed.
Donghuang said solemnly, "Enough. Let's not continue the pursuit. Otherwise, when it counterattacks desperately, we might not escape unharmed; falling is very possible."
The Desolate Heaven Demon Lord nodded. "Right. After this battle, the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will is severely wounded. At the very least, it won't dare to covet the Eternal Heaven Realm for a very long time. The main purpose of this trip is still to reach the important place on the River of Time."
"Agreed!"
Ye Chen also didn't continue the chase. Not only had this battle severely wounded the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will, but they had also obtained over half of the Dark Upper Realm fragments. Combined with those Donghuang and the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord later helped Ye Chen seize, it amounted to well over sixty percent—an incredibly bountiful harvest.
After this trip concluded, Ye Chen planned to completely refine these Dark Upper Realm fragments, transform them into pure dark power, and then have his Chaos Great Dao devour them. He believed it would become much more complete.
Moreover, half an Upper Realm could also expand his Chaos Small Universe considerably.
"The Eternal Heaven Realm needs someone to guard it. I'll stay behind and continue to defend it. Brother Ye, although you are strong, I worry the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will might return. It would be better for Brother Donghuang to accompany you. That way, it will be safer," said the Desolate Heaven Demon Lord.
This suggestion was good. Two half-step overlords traveling together would be safer; even if they encountered the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will, they wouldn't fear it.
Although Ye Chen alone wasn't afraid, the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will was extremely powerful and had many Dark Giants. Ultimately, it was better to be cautious!
After parting here, Ye Chen and Donghuang set off together. The Desolate Heaven Demon Lord led the other Great Heavenly Venerates and Heavenly Venerates to remain stationed in the Eternal Heaven Realm, preventing the Eternal Night Domain's Origin Will from making a comeback.
