After that, for a very long period of time, he threw himself wholeheartedly into the process of digesting the various Martial Arts Imprints.
One Martial Arts Imprint after another was quickly digested by him. Whether they were from Ancient Saints, overlords, Saint Lords, or even those at the peak of the Saint Treasury Realm, as long as they were Martial Arts Imprints, he challenged them and digested them.
Naturally, with his cultivation having reached such a level, even though he was only at the Seventh Heaven of the Saint Treasury Realm, the strength he displayed in various aspects could absolutely be called Samsara-level. His apparent cultivation realm was instead overlooked.
He swiftly defeated one combat imprint after another, rapidly absorbing and digesting one Martial Arts Imprint after another, continuously mastering one powerful divine ability after another, and also constantly deducing one Dao after another, deepening his own understanding and comprehension of the Great Dao.
Subsequently, within the span of a year, he alone had defeated over twelve hundred combat imprints and comprehended and digested an equal number of Martial Arts Imprints. This caused his understanding of the various Great Daos and his comprehension of martial arts to increase exponentially.
Those were the Martial Arts Imprints left behind by all the experts below the Samsara level within the Martial Arts Divine Stone. What a powerful stream of information it was, allowing Ye Chen to master over twelve hundred different Daos.
Naturally, for the vast majority, these Daos were currently not complete; they could only be considered partial.
However, the paths cultivated by some experts would inevitably intersect. For instance, some experts primarily cultivated the Dao of Fire, while others cultivated the Dao of Water and Fire. There would always be some similarities, which consequently allowed Ye Chen's understanding of quite a few Great Daos to become very profound, at least at the Ancient Saint level. In fact, his comprehension of many Daos had reached the peak of the Saint Treasury Realm.
Thus, his eyes grew even more profound and increasingly unfathomable.
However, all of this was not the end. After Ye Chen finished comprehending all the Saint Treasury Realm Martial Arts Imprints, he began to attempt to comprehend higher-level Martial Arts Imprints.
For example, among them were nine Samsara-level Martial Arts Imprints.
The so-called Samsara-level experts were more of a metaphor, because the Samsara realm was a true cycle of reincarnation, not a cultivation realm.
One either succeeded or failed.
But throughout history, there were always some who were exceptional and extraordinarily talented. They might not have successfully completed the struggle through the crossing of Samsara, but they did not completely fail either. They came close to success, touching the edge of it and also touching the domain of Heavenly Kings.
They failed, yet did not die, surviving by a stroke of luck. They also possessed power beyond the Saint Treasury Realm but below the Heavenly King realm. Therefore, they could be called Samsara-level experts.
Now, Ye Chen also had the qualification to be called a Samsara-level expert. However, he was different; he had not failed. It was just that his combat power was indeed abnormally excessive, surpassing the Saint Treasury Realm, hence he was called a Samsara-level expert.
Ye Chen challenged the Samsara-level Martial Arts Imprints, and unimaginably fierce battles ensued.
Because this was essentially a battle at the same level, and those Samsara-level experts were even more experienced and formidable, surpassing even the peak of the Saint Treasury Realm.
With his cultivation having reached this stage, Ye Chen was basically invincible below the Heavenly King level. However, when facing these Samsara-level combat imprints, even someone as powerful as Ye Chen had to engage in battles lasting hundreds or even thousands of exchanges. Sometimes, even longer confrontations were required.
Moreover, during the battles, his blood energy was golden and surged to the heavens, exploding with earth-shattering force. He continuously displayed one world-shaking divine ability after another, attacking with forceful dominance.
During the process, he held basically nothing back. All the divine abilities he had mastered in his past and present lives were fully unleashed. Divine radiance shattered the heavens, capable of blasting apart the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, sweeping away all peerless enemies!
Yet, even so, during this process, he was injured quite a few times. His Primordial Spirit avatar was wounded, realistically spilling golden, brilliant blood—that was Primordial Spirit Dao essence, extremely precious.
On several occasions, he was almost cleaved apart, his blood splattering across the sky.
Naturally, all of this was because he did not use Faith Power to augment himself. It was because he rarely encountered super experts of this level and wanted to engage in a proper battle. He also wished to comprehend the opponent's combat style and Dao from the fight.
Because this kind of experience was extremely precious. Samsara-level experts were truly rare, far rarer than Heavenly Kings.
Even across the myriad realms, one could find Heavenly Kings, but finding Samsara-level experts was truly too difficult, pitifully scarce.
In the end, after experiencing a series of arduous battles, Ye Chen finally dragged his wounded body to victory over the nine Samsara-level combat imprints.
By that time, another full three months had passed—quite a time-consuming endeavor.
But when Ye Chen obtained those Martial Arts Imprints, he benefited greatly. Because this was the true embodiment of the Samsara level, containing many experiences and insights into the failure of Samsara. Some of these even shared remarkable similarities with the theories found in the notes of the Samsara Sovereign that were auctioned off in the past.
Of course, to be precise, none of these Samsara experts could compare to the Samsara Sovereign, but their insights were still extraordinary.
Ye Chen contemplated for a full month before finally opening his eyes. His cultivation had climbed another step, reaching the peak of the Seventh Heaven of the Saint Treasury Realm.
It was the fusion of vast experience that caused his cultivation to rise steadily. Combined with the various experiences from his past life, reaching this step was completely within expectations.
However, the speed of improvement was indeed much faster than anticipated.
Moreover, Ye Chen's mastery over Samsara-level combat power became much more precise. His combat power did not increase, but his control over its intensity improved significantly.
This could be considered a form of intangible growth in strength.
Instantly, Ye Chen's aura became many times more profound.
But Ye Chen did not stop. Because he looked toward those Heavenly King-level Martial Arts Imprints, and also the Great Power-level Martial Arts Imprints that stood high above, as dazzling as the great sun. He needed those as well.
Moreover, he sensed that within this cluster of Great Power-level Martial Arts Imprints, there seemed to be something extraordinary. A vast Great Power-level force was flowing out. Immediately, his eyes opened, and brilliant light shot forth.
Because he suspected this was not simply a Great Power-level Martial Arts Imprint, but also a cluster of Great Power-level origin force.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let his eyes shine. Because he had long harbored an astonishing hypothesis.
He possessed a cluster of alien race Great Power origin. As long as he combined it with a cluster of Myriad Domains Great Power origin, theoretically, if they were compatible and suitable, it could allow him to achieve a chaos Great Power, peerless throughout the ages, surpassing all other Great Powers.
Now, he never expected to actually have such an opportunity presented to him.
A chaos Great Power, peerless throughout the ages—who could contend with it? Dominant and invincible for an era!
