In an instant, the aura of the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse surged violently, and all the wounds on its body completely healed, restoring it to its absolute peak state.
With every move, it exuded an unprecedented, terrifying heavenly might that could directly crush the Nine Heavens and annihilate all time and space throughout the ages.
At this moment, it was as if the Endless Heavenly Venerate from its most glorious era had reversed time and returned. Yet, it was accompanied by boundless darkness. The corpse stared coldly at Ye Chen and said, "Latercomer, back when you traversed time, if this Heavenly Venerate hadn't feared the karma, I would have suppressed and killed you long ago. How could I have allowed you to live until now!"
These words shocked everyone, though they were somewhat unclear.
Only Ye Chen knew. Not long ago, he had traversed time and space, arriving at the era when the Endless Heavenly Venerate was slain. He had encountered several Celestial Sovereign Level terrors. The entity that had now taken possession of the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse was one of those Celestial Sovereign Level terrors.
Moreover, he could determine exactly which one it was.
Ye Chen strode forward. The chaotic light around him surged with unprecedented intensity, enveloping this stretch of heaven and earth as he directly opened up an Ancient Chaos Universe. However, ten Sealing Gates flew out, suppressing various points at the universe's desolate borders to prevent the destructive power of a Celestial Sovereign Level battle from spreading to the outside world.
He coldly regarded the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse and said, "I know who you are. That dark, giant hand that annihilated the Endless Heavenly Race back then. I never expected you to have survived and taken possession of the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse. Do you seek to revive yourself?"
As he spoke, he had already unleashed Celestial Sovereign Level means to attack.
But this time, it was not effective, because the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse was equally terrifyingly powerful, possessing the complete might of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate. It manifested a fearsome, sky-shrouding giant hand and pressed forward.
"It's him!"
Hun Wuji saw that scene, his eyes turning red. Because back then, it was precisely this sky-shrouding giant hand that had annihilated the once supremely prosperous Endless Heavenly Race overnight.
Seeing it again now filled him with immense fury, yet also a deep sense of powerlessness.
Because he knew he was far from a match for the sky-shrouding giant hand.
The other party had fully revived, possessing the true imposing manner of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Even with the aid of his master's Chaos Heavenly Seal, he would be no match.
Boom—
The sky was blotted out. The entire Ancient Chaos Universe shook violently, as if about to explode.
It was too terrifying, unimaginable that the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse still possessed such heavenly might.
Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. "Even if he has returned to his former state, so what? In the end, it's merely this. I, Ye Chen, can still suppress and kill him!"
He swung his Chaos Emperor Fist, striking forward. It collided with the sky-shrouding giant hand. The might of a Heavenly Venerate surged within the Ancient Chaos Universe, enough to annihilate any Ancient Chaos Universe, yet it was blocked again.
Because this was an Ancient Chaos Universe personally opened and reinforced by Ye Chen, further stabilized by the suppression of ten Sealing Gates. Naturally, it was extraordinary and incomparably solid, capable of serving as a Celestial Sovereign Level battlefield.
Blood light splattered. Some was Ye Chen's, but some belonged to the sky-shrouding giant hand.
A bloody mark appeared on Ye Chen's Emperor Fist, strands of Heavenly Venerate blood flowing. This made those outside the Ancient Chaos Universe watch with bated hearts, giving rise to worry. Had even the currently invincible Chaos Heavenly Emperor been wounded?
But when they looked at the opponent, they breathed a sigh of relief. The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse was in a more miserable state. One of its palms had exploded into a bloody mist, its Heavenly Venerate Dao Bones shattered.
Clearly, in this exchange, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had gained the upper hand.
Chaotic light circulated, healing the wound on the Emperor Fist. Ye Chen's expression was calm. His entire body flowed with blazing, intense chaotic light as he strode forward, throwing punch after punch that shattered all directions, annihilated ancient realms across myriad worlds, and continuously landed on his opponent.
Clusters of blood flowers continuously burst from the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse. In the true great battle, it was severely wounded, powerfully suppressed by Ye Chen.
"No, this is impossible!"
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse roared, filled with fury at this outcome. It shouldn't be like this. Although the opponent was powerful, he was also a Celestial Sovereign Level terror, one of the sources of the blood-soaked future that would sweep across everything.
"Nothing is impossible. Truthfully, you are still far off! The current you has only barely returned to the Heavenly Venerate level. But compared to a true Heavenly Venerate, there is still a long gap," Ye Chen said. He threw another punch, splitting heaven and earth, tearing apart this stretch of sky and land. Infinite Chaos Heavenly Venerate Dao Principles gave birth to the power of ten thousand Daos, annihilating everything as they continuously bombarded his opponent.
Blood light flashed!
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse staggered back.
Indeed, just as Ye Chen had said.
Although the opponent had erupted with Supreme Heavenly Venerate level combat power, in truth, the difference was vast.
Like the gap between an Extreme Realm Giant and an Ancient Giant.
The sky-shrouding giant hand had once been a Celestial Sovereign Level terror, but after enduring that battle long ago, it was severely wounded. Although it survived, it had fallen from the Heavenly Venerate level.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse was the same. Having been besieged by multiple Celestial Sovereign Level terrors, its Heavenly Venerate body was critically wounded, riddled with countless hidden injuries within.
Now, although the sky-shrouding giant hand had briefly returned to the Heavenly Venerate level by relying on supreme means, compared to a Supreme Heavenly Venerate like Ye Chen who was at his absolute peak, there was still a huge gap. It was no match.
Therefore, in the true battle, blood was seen from time to time.
If this continued, it would inevitably suffer heavy injuries. The outcome was predictable—certain death.
"No, this Heavenly Venerate refuses to accept this!"
From between the brows of the Endless Heavenly Venerate, soul power surged to the heavens. It was the dark Heavenly Soul of the sky-shrouding giant hand roaring, shaking the entire Ancient Chaos Universe, the vibrations spreading out to shake the entire Endless Forbidden Zone.
But it was useless. Ye Chen's most powerful fist still struck over, annihilating time and space, hitting its head. The brow bone cracked, almost piercing through everything to enter within.
Even though it didn't, an extremely fearsome Chaos Heavenly Venerate power still rushed in, causing the dark Heavenly Soul of the sky-shrouding giant hand to suffer heavy injuries. Much of its soul power was annihilated. It stared at Ye Chen in shock and horror. This latercomer was far more terrifying than imagined, actually forcing him to this step.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse took a deep breath, using Heavenly Venerate Power to repair the wound. But the injury to the dark Heavenly Soul remained, impossible to resolve. Upon closer look, it was like porcelain, full of cracks, only temporarily patched up.
All of this made the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse even more solemn. Taking a deep breath, it knew this place was not safe to stay. It had to break out of this Ancient Chaos Universe as soon as possible and flee far away, otherwise it would truly perish.
Boom—
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse mobilized its most powerful Heavenly Venerate Power and began attacking the Ancient Chaos Universe, successfully blasting open one of the massive Sealing Gates.
