The remnant soul of the Teng Snake showed a hint of surprise. "Kid, your perception is truly remarkable. I didn't expect you to detect me. Were you trying to set a trap to lure me out? What a pity. You've merely invited a wolf into your house. I must say your method is too foolish, or perhaps you're far too confident in your own strength."
"Otherwise? Do you think I would fear a mere remnant soul like you?" Ye Chen responded indifferently.
"Heh heh, kid, you're still too young, too arrogant, too self-righteous," the Teng Snake remnant soul said with a sinister tone. "But I should thank you. If you hadn't suddenly barged in, I truly wouldn't have known where to find such a perfect physical battle body. Once I am reborn, this battle body will be enough to allow me to advance even further in the future."
"From now on, this battle body belongs to me. Kid, your Primordial Spirit will also become my nourishment. Now die obediently. That will reduce a lot of pain."
Calming down, the Teng Snake stared at Ye Chen's Primordial Spirit form, revealing a fervent gaze.
It was merely a remnant soul, while Ye Chen was in the prime of his youth, on the ascending ladder of the human body. Moreover, it could be seen that his Primordial Spirit was stronger than that of ordinary Samsara-level supreme experts. The Primordial Spirit flames were as fiery and dazzling as the heavenly sun, incredibly eye-catching.
Once devoured, it would greatly change its current situation, very likely allowing its remnant soul to repair a small portion and recover more power.
"The arrogant one is you."
Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. His eyes shot forth strands of astonishing cold lightning as he strode forward. "Perfect. The remnant soul of a Primordial Times demon god, the remnant soul of an ancient Great Sage, would also be a great supplement for the Primordial Spirit. Perhaps it might even help me transform into an invincible divine soul. Thank you for your hard work, coming here specifically to die."
The Teng Snake was enraged. Its intended nourishment, its Primordial Spirit medicine, actually harbored such thoughts. This arrogance was truly outrageous.
It should be known that it was one of the supreme overlords of the Ancient Emperor Continent during the Primordial Times era of the gods. It had even devoured Heavenly Kings, dominating an entire great era. Its glorious achievements were still circulated to this day, making even the gods pale at the mention of its name. When had it ever been looked down upon like this?
"Kid, you're seeking death! You've angered me. I'll make you understand the consequences of offending me. I'll make you die after suffering countless torments."
With a whoosh, the Teng Snake soared through the air. With a shake of its body, it directly manifested its enormous form. Even within the Mud Pill Palace, it appeared massive, almost filling the entire void space of the Mud Pill Palace.
The Teng Snake, a peerless holy spirit that had contended with True Dragons during the Mythical Era. Although the Primordial Times demon god couldn't be compared to the first-generation ancestral holy spirits, it was still of peerless might, crushing through the Mud Pill Palace space as it swept forward.
"Without your invincible battle body, and being merely a Primordial Spirit, how will you contend with me?"
Boom—
The Teng Snake soared into the sky, directly launching an attack on Ye Chen, crushing through the Mud Pill Palace space.
It must be said, the Teng Snake was indeed powerful enough. Even though only a wisp of a remnant soul remained, it was still incredibly strong, beyond imagination.
Whoosh—
Ye Chen's Primordial Spirit form suddenly vanished, moving at an extreme speed—a display of the world's ultimate speed. The Teng Snake's attack had no effect on Ye Chen's Primordial Spirit form. From a distance, Ye Chen coldly sneered, "You're wrong. Even without the invincible battle body, so what? My Dao was restrained by the invincible battle body. Only the Primordial Spirit is unbound and can achieve its strongest form. Kill!"
As the last word fell, Ye Chen's Primordial Spirit form grew significantly stronger. In terms of Primordial Spirit strength alone, it absolutely rivaled a true Heavenly King, though there was a qualitative difference.
One was a Primordial Spirit; the other was a divine soul above the Primordial Spirit.
"Kid, even if you've improved, you're still no match for me. Die!"
The Teng Snake demon god roared, its form swelling. It even let out a terrifying roar that seemed about to shatter the endless void space of the Mud Pill Palace, like a colossal ferocious beast from the era of creation awakening to destroy the world. A mere turn of its body caused the endless space of the Mud Pill Palace to rumble loudly.
This made Ye Chen's expression change. If the Mud Pill Palace were damaged, it would cause direct harm to him.
Because the Mud Pill Palace was the important place where the Primordial Spirit and divine soul were nurtured.
Ye Chen's Primordial Spirit form directly reached out, and the Human Sovereign Pagoda appeared. From its thirty-three layers, surging primordial Chaos Qi flowed out, stabilizing the endless space.
"It's this ancient Emperor's weapon!"
The Teng Snake demon god's expression changed, recognizing the origin of the Human Sovereign Pagoda. Given its status and position, how could it not know of the Human Sovereign Pagoda's astonishing achievements during the Primordial era? It never expected it to appear here.
But the next moment, it revealed a greedy expression. "Perfect. I lack an Emperor's weapon. Kid, I really must thank you for delivering it to me."
The Teng Snake demon god directly unleashed a world-shaking dharma manifestation, sweeping across the vast, endless space. It was unimaginably huge and continued to swell, as if about to crush the entire space of the Mud Pill Palace.
The Teng Snake demon god opened its maw, which resembled an endless abyss, devouring heaven and earth as it lunged toward Ye Chen, intending to suck his entire Primordial Spirit into it.
During the Primordial Times era of the gods, the Teng Snake demon god had dominated the Ancient Emperor Continent with this move, Devouring Heaven and Earth, having even devoured Heavenly Kings.
Now that it was being used, its power was naturally infinite.
Hum—
The Human Sovereign Pagoda descended, with thirty-three supreme layers. From each layer, powerful primordial Chaos Qi cascaded down, countless strands, suppressing the space and blocking the devouring force.
Ye Chen's expression was grave, not daring to be careless. In fact, the Teng Snake demon god's Devouring Heaven and Earth was so incredibly powerful that even the Human Sovereign Pagoda was almost devoured, shaking violently as strands of primordial Chaos Qi were sucked away.
"Not good. It's trying to devour the Human Sovereign Pagoda."
Ye Chen's expression changed. Even something as heavy as primordial Chaos Qi was ineffective, being devoured. It was pulling the Human Sovereign Pagoda itself down to be swallowed. Truly worthy of being one of the peerless overlords of the Primordial Times era of the gods. Even with only a wisp of remnant soul remaining, it was unexpectedly powerful.
However, Ye Chen took control within and activated the mysteries of the Chaos Great Dao's First Chapter, resonating with the Human Sovereign Pagoda. Immediately, the primordial Chaos Qi boiled, crushing heaven and earth as it surged toward the Teng Snake demon god.
Boom—
The Teng Snake demon god's expression changed. With a shake of its body, it soared through the air, avoiding the bombardment of primordial Chaos Qi. But a section of its dharma manifestation was struck, shattered completely, pierced through with a huge bloody hole. Blood splattered, appearing very real.
Ye Chen grabbed it and devoured it, actually causing his primordial spirit form to grow slightly stronger, its radiance becoming even more dazzling and eye-catching.
Indeed, the Teng Snake remnant soul was practically Primordial Spirit medicine.
"It's merely a dharma manifestation. Even if it can fill the Mud Pill Palace space, so what? A dead but not stiff old snake—just kill it."
Ye Chen's human-shaped lightning Primordial Spirit form, with the Human Sovereign Pagoda hovering above its head, grew a pair of terrifying divine wings behind it—the Immortal Phoenix Divine Wings.
He even activated the mysteries of the Eighteen Roc Forms and also used the Vermilion Bird Step. Several supreme divine abilities combined, and with a shake of his body, he actually transformed into an Immortal Phoenix.
