Eternal Holy Emperor

"Courting death!"

Ye Chen hadn’t moved yet when Aben at his side had already taken action.

Her sword‑finger shot out and directly pierced through the brow and Mud Ball Palace of that Third Layer Heaven Great Power, annihilating the burning Divine Soul Miniature along with it. He fell from the Heavenly Dome, leaving behind only a soulless Physical Body.

"What a pity. His Divine Soul was split in two, and one soul is still inside the Great Emperor Reincarnation body, otherwise it wouldn’t have been this troublesome." Ye Chen sighed inwardly.

One had to know, when Ye Chen had used the Soul Splitting Pill to split his Divine Soul in two and then fuse it again, the resulting strength was so great it far surpassed the Divine Souls of many Super Great Powers. He even suspected it was not inferior to the Divine Soul strength of a Nine-layered Heaven Great Power.

But now he only had half left, and that split Divine Soul was not even as condensed as before using the Soul Splitting Pill; at most it could rival a Super Great Power Level. Wanting to enslave five Great Powers at once was indeed a bit difficult.

Still, it was a Great Power Level Body after all. Ye Chen had Aben put it away; it could be refined into a Great Power Level Puppet, just like back then with the Eighteen Insect Clan Mother Queens, all refined into Great Power Level Puppets.

The other four Great Powers, like foxes mourning a rabbit, were grief‑stricken. All of them wanted to burn their Divine Soul Miniatures and self‑destruct, preferring death to being enslaved.

After all, they were Great Powers who could rule a Star Domain and establish Eternal Dao lineages. How could they be willing to end up enslaved by others in such a miserable fashion? They would rather die than submit.

Boom boom boom boom—

Each of them blazed with brilliant light and charged toward Ye Chen, seeking a place to self‑detonate.

"Your resolve isn’t bad; it’s just a shame your strength is lacking."

Ye Chen said calmly. The Chaos Saint Soul stepped out from his brow, and with a swish it broke through common sense and reason, as if reversing space and time, directly plunging into the brow of one Great Power. When it saw that burning Divine Soul Miniature, it suddenly expanded, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the Divine Soul Miniature in one gulp.

Then it didn’t stop, rushing out from that Great Power’s Mud Ball Palace and plunging into the Mud Ball Palace of a second Great Power, just as forcefully and directly devouring again. Even though the other party’s Divine Soul Miniature was burning violently, it did not stop, leaving everyone stunned.

One must know that once a Divine Soul Miniature began to self‑burn, it was equivalent to stepping onto the path of Transformation. If you were tainted by that kind of self‑burning soul fire, it could very easily drag your own self into burning as well, and the consequences were simply unimaginable.

Yet after swallowing two burning Divine Soul Miniatures in succession, the Combat Saint King’s Chaos Saint Soul still remained completely unscathed. It then moved into the body of the third Great Power, but this time it did not continue devouring. Instead, Chaos Light coiled around it as it sacrificed a Chaos Tripod, which descended with boundless Chaos Ancient Energy, forcibly extinguishing the burning Dao Fire and even Sealing this Divine Soul Miniature.

At the end, the Chaos Saint Soul swished back into Ye Chen’s body. Looking at the nearby Great Power of the Jiuyan Emperor Clan, he did not repeat the previous method. Instead, he swept a cold glance over that Great Power of the Jiuyan Emperor Clan, walked out, arrived outside the light screen, and opened his mouth wide toward the opponent who was also burning all over: "Roar—"

Roaring across the Star Domain!

An incomparable roar exploded. Outside the Flying God Star, which was protected by the light screen, the other stars in this Star Domain were all shaken to pieces and completely erased from existence.

The starry sky collapsed!

A single roar to extinguish a Great Power!

Behind him, Aben was dumbfounded, and the sole Saint of Flying God Star was also dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief.

With that, everything was over. The Great Formation sank back into hiding.

Ye Chen returned to Flying God Star. His brow shone with a surging radiance, because he had just swallowed two burning Great Power Souls in one breath and was now in a precarious state.

Those two Great Power Souls were burning with terrifying soul fire—fire capable of burning Divine Souls. The soul fire of a self‑burning Great Power Soul was especially terrifying, and now it was also burning within the Chaos Saint Soul, trying to ignite the Chaos Saint Soul along with it.

It could be said that what the Chaos Saint Soul had just done was an act of courting death.

However, Ye Chen felt no fear. His Divine Soul was special, imbued with Chaos characteristics, and strong enough. Only because of that could he suppress such burning Divine Soul Dao Fire. Otherwise, let alone ordinary Great Powers—even Super Great Powers and Peak Great Powers would never dare to forcefully devour like Ye Chen had.

Rumble—

The Chaos Saint Soul directly turned into a Chaos Tripod, containing the two burning Great Power Souls within. Chaos Dao Fire roared and burned, obliterating the soul fire of the Divine Soul Miniatures and further Refining them.

Chaos can contain all things. Very quickly it completely devoured both Great Power Souls and converted them into two surging, extremely pure currents of Divine Soul Power, replenishing the Chaos Saint Soul and causing the originally split, somewhat illusory miniature to grow much more solid again.

Even if it couldn’t match the level from before taking the Soul Splitting Pill, it was not far off.

"I didn’t expect that devouring two Great Power Souls could increase my Divine Soul Power so much."

Ye Chen muttered to himself, feeling that this was also a feasible method to enhance his Divine Soul Power, but he quickly denied the idea.

Although he could continuously strengthen his Divine Soul, first of all, Great Powers are the pinnacle experts atop the Pyramid of the Great Universe. Slaughtering them in large numbers would arouse public wrath; such behavior would even more easily provoke the anger of the Great Universe’s powerhouses than seizing an Emperor Body.

Just like the Forbidden Soul Hall, which gathered many experts’ Divine Souls and Physical Bodies, drawing the hostility of countless factions and bordering on the Demon Path.

Even those Invincibles on the Ultimate Ancient Road would be enraged by such things.

Second, devouring others’ Divine Souls is, in the end, a heterodox path. It is not something cultivated step by step by oneself, never truly refined to a flawless state, and it will cause certain defects in the Dao Foundation, which is very detrimental to future cultivation. It is merely a method for short‑term power‑ups and very unfavorable in the long run.

However, the Divine Soul Power of two Great Power Soul Miniatures, when faced with his mighty Chaos Saint Soul, could hardly cause any impact. Given enough time, he could completely Refine it into pure Holy Soul Power, making it his own—flawless and without defect.

Next, Ye Chen looked at the other Great Power Soul that was Sealed within the Chaos Tripod, then withdrew the Ancient Cauldron and released the Sealed Great Power Soul.

"Combat Saint King, I know I was wrong. I’ll never dare oppose you again. Please spare me." This Great Power was terrified. At this point he had fully witnessed Ye Chen’s terrifying methods, which could leave him unable to live and unable to die. It was far too horrifying.

Ye Chen smiled lightly. "Relax, I won’t let you die."

Hearing this, the other party let out a sigh of relief, but Ye Chen’s next sentence made his heart tremble violently: "Such a fine experimental subject. I’ve been wondering how to cast a secret technique to plant a Divine Soul Mark and enslave someone—aren’t you the perfect experimental subject?"
