When all living beings saw the Chaos Heavenly Emperor standing alone, the three Half-Step Overlords had vanished without a trace.
Only the vast expanse of space where the Chaos Heavenly Emperor stood alone, which had been utterly pulverized into absolute nothingness, still retained traces of an extremely terrifying battle, causing all the Venerable Ones to feel their hearts pounding with fear.
They knew that if they were to fall into that space, even they would perish within it, with not a shred of chance of survival.
Thus, they understood that place was the site of the peak duel between the Chaos Heavenly Emperor and the three Half-Step Overlords.
Even the Chaos Ancient Universe could not repair that place; it had completely become a zone of great destructive nothingness.
The entire world erupted in cheers, hailing the Chaos Heavenly Emperor as invincible!
The Myriad Swords Imperial Venerable and the other Venerable Ones from the Chaos Sea were first horrified, then sighed, and finally, one after another, half-knelt in the void, performing a grand bow of submission: "The Chaos Heavenly Emperor is invincible! We are willing to submit!"
At this moment, what other thoughts could they possibly harbor?
Three Half-Step Overlords had gone and never returned. No matter how powerful they were, they could not compare to a Half-Step Overlord. Now, they could only submit.
Naturally, having originally intended to carry out the 'Pack of Tigers Devouring the Dragon' plan, they had to pay the corresponding price.
Ye Chen planted corresponding supreme marks upon them, commanding them to protect the Pangu Universe for all eternity.
The Venerable Ones naturally dared not question this.
As for the Nether Emperor, who had recklessly opened the Pangu Pass and had long colluded with people from the Chaos Sea, how could Ye Chen not be furious? Ignoring his pleas for mercy, Ye Chen directly slapped him down, annihilating him into dust, serving as a warning to all the Venerable Ones.
Finally, after sealing that zone of absolute nothingness, Ye Chen could only leave it as such. Even someone as powerful as him could not repair it, for there were too many battle traces within, and it contained a sea of Half-Step Overlord-level killing intent. Even if he wanted to repair it, it would require endless time, which was clearly impractical.
Ye Chen banished the zone of absolute nothingness, reconstructing the space with his supreme Chaos Great Method.
After this battle, Ye Chen immediately went into seclusion again to heal his wounds.
The injuries from this battle were no less severe than those from his battle against the Origin Will of the Eternal Night Domain. This was still with the benefit of the Pangu Universe's origin irrigation and empowerment. Otherwise, in that battle, he would have most likely narrowly escaped death.
Fortunately, he had endured through it all.
Now, he collected the flesh and blood bodies of the three Half-Step Overlords. Even though they had been blasted apart multiple times, losing vast amounts of flesh and blood essence, what remained was still incredibly abundant.
Ye Chen refined the corresponding Great Dao essence blood, then swallowed and absorbed it into his body to recover from his injuries, receiving a significant replenishment.
The Dao Collapse was suppressed, and everything was progressing towards recovery.
Moreover, the universe origin poured into him by the Pangu Universe contained the eternal power of the Great God Pangu.
The Great God Pangu was one of the Thirty-Three Eternal Heavenly Venerates of the Origin Land in ancient times, a great existence even qualified to contend with the Primordial Heavenly Venerate for the title of Heavenly Venerate King.
His eternal power was naturally extraordinary, allowing Ye Chen to recover to a great extent.
Furthermore, Ye Chen also possessed Pangu's Heart. Now, he also utilized the eternal power contained within Pangu's Heart, even managing to extract several drops of Pangu's Blood—all heart's blood—containing extremely pure eternal origin, which provided even greater assistance to Ye Chen.
Over the past several hundred thousand years, it had been held and comprehended by the Pangu Dao Immortal King. Now that the Pangu Dao Immortal King had achieved Immortal Venerable status, Pangu's Heart was naturally returned to Ye Chen.
Now, Ye Chen housed Pangu's Heart within his own Chaos Heart, constantly resonating with it and swallowing the eternal power gushing forth from Pangu's Heart.
This was equivalent to adding an insurance policy for him.
Even when facing the dangerous situation of dealing with three Half-Step Overlords, as long as he had this Pangu's Heart, he could still exert sufficient combat power without needing to rely on the irrigation and empowerment of the Pangu Universe's origin.
Thus, a full three hundred thousand years passed.
On this day, boundless blood energy filled the entire Pangu Universe. Whether in the myriad domains of the Upper Realm or the eight realms of the Lower Realm, one could clearly sense that endless blood energy.
At the center was the supreme and peerless Chaos Heavenly Emperor, transcending past and present, looking down upon all ages, reigning supreme over the Chaos Sea.
Now, all of Ye Chen's injuries had finally completely healed.
Moreover, during these three hundred thousand years, he had not merely healed his wounds. He had continued the work of the previous seven hundred thousand years, continuing to refine the Origin Will of the Eternal Night Domain from back then.
During the final battle on the Origin Ancient Path back then, Ye Chen had successfully suppressed the Origin Will of the Eternal Night Domain, completely eradicating its true spirit, transforming it into a vast dark world no smaller than a Chaos Ancient Universe, along with the Half-Step Overlord-level Primordial Ancestor.
Naturally, there were also the original endless dark supreme powerhouses of the Eternal Night Domain.
Over a total of one million years, Ye Chen had finally completely refined it all, also filling many gaps in his Chaos Great Dao.
At this moment, his comprehension of the other half of the Chaos Great Dao had also reached over ninety percent.
It could be said that regarding the truly Great Perfection Chaos Great Dao, he had reached ninety-nine percent.
Only the final bit remained to reach the complete Great Perfection Chaos level.
Once he reached that step, Ye Chen could prove the Dao of Chaos, and perhaps immediately attain the Eternal Heavenly Venerate fruit.
His Origin Universe had also completely evolved to perfection.
Now, he could mobilize the power of the Origin Universe at any time, and also utilize the power of the Divine Dao Half-Step Overlord. Combined with the power of the Universe Chaos Body and the Immortal Dao Half-Step Overlord, a total of four Half-Step Overlord-level powers were contained within one body, making him the most powerful Half-Step Overlord in all of history.
If he were to deal with the Origin Will of the Eternal Night Domain now, he estimated it would take no more than thirty rounds to perfectly suppress it.
Perhaps, Ye Chen himself did not know if he had reached the Supreme Realm level.
Because his understanding of the Supreme Realm level was very vague.
However, his power had reached the most extreme level of his life.
Ye Chen felt that perhaps he could even contend against a Supreme Realm Overlord.
But soon, Ye Chen rejected this notion himself.
He could not be considered a Supreme Realm Overlord, but he possessed Supreme Realm combat power.
Because he could not completely fuse the four Half-Step Overlord-level powers within his body into one; he could only forcibly meld them together.
Once he attacked, it might be very powerful, but the four Half-Step Overlord-level powers were difficult to completely integrate, resulting in a significant loss of power in the process.
Perhaps only when he could completely fuse the four supreme powers into one, without the slightest loss, and when quantitative change produced qualitative change, could he truly be called a Supreme Realm Overlord.
Nevertheless, even so, he possessed combat power comparable to that of a Supreme Realm Overlord.
Moreover, the Origin Universe had only just reached perfection, its evolution complete, having reached the level of a truly perfect Chaos Ancient Universe in all aspects. But this did not mean it would not continue to improve.
Because within the Origin Universe, living beings had only just been born, and billions of dimensional worlds had only just appeared. Compared to ancient universes like the Pangu Universe, the Alien Ancient Universe, and the Primordial Immortal World, which had existed for countless epochs, it was still excessively young. Naturally, all aspects were just entering the initial stage, with a long road of progress ahead.
However, Ye Chen also frowned slightly.
Because he always had a feeling that his Origin Universe had not yet completely evolved to perfection.
Logically, this shouldn't be the case. The Origin Universe possessed everything a Chaos Ancient Universe should have; it no longer even devoured the power of the Divine Dao Half-Step Overlord.
So why did he have this feeling?
More importantly, the Origin Universe, as the fiftieth Ancient Universe of the Chaos Sea, transcended the forty-nine, serving as the 'escaped one,' representing the meaning of transcendence.
Once it completely evolved to perfection, it should not merely be equivalent to the power of one Half-Step Overlord; it should be more special.
But Ye Chen did not sense this.
What was going on?
Unfortunately, Ye Chen did not know. No one told him. Perhaps the Supreme Realm Overlords knew, but they had all gone to the Origin Land.
And he could not deduce it either.
