Eternal Holy Emperor

"Combat Saint King, accept your death!"

Qingtian Venerable, risking the lower half of his body being shattered by Ye Chen’s punch, spat out several mouthfuls of essence blood onto the Bronze Divine Furnace, causing this life-bound artifact to ignite. A part of the Cangqiong Qingjin within it glowed brilliantly, and a vague Cangqiong phantom emerged, crashing toward Ye Chen’s head, intent on smashing it to pieces.

This could be said to be Qingtian Venerable’s most powerful strike, a do-or-die attempt to kill the Combat Saint King, hoping he could only survive by killing him at any cost.

Ye Chen’s expression was cold as he swung his Heaven and Earth Creation Fist against it, both being sent flying, but the bronze divine furnace’s light completely dimmed, and a fist-sized hole appeared and exploded into countless fire sparks. These sparks scattered everywhere, with many of them even rebounding into Qingtian Venerable’s body, causing a gush of blood.

However, due to this, Ye Chen’s fist was also torn open, with streams of chaos blood splattering out.

"What!?"

Qingtian Venerable’s expression changed, unable to believe his desperate strike still couldn’t kill the Combat Saint King.

At the same time, Ye Chen attacked relentlessly, unleashing a barrage of divine skills like the Five Elements Golden Realm, Chaos Split into Two Extremes, Combat Saint Technique, Human King Seal, Mountain Embrace Seal, all merging into one, fully hitting the Super Great Power.

Boom——

Qingtian Venerable let out a shrill scream, his entire body being torn apart, reduced to bones and ashes as his physical form disintegrated.

Three years ago, Ye Chen was no weaker than a Super Great Power, and now at the peak of the Fourth Layer Heaven, he was naturally even stronger. If it weren’t for his divided divine soul affecting his strength, he would have been even more powerful.

The Chaos Tripod absorbed Qingtian Venerable’s divine soul, branding it onto the cauldron’s wall.

And within, the Chaos Dao Fire blazed fiercely, starting to refine Qingtian Venerable’s physical form to completely refine it into a Great Power Pill.

Boom——

Simultaneously, amidst the endless space turbulence, a group of Great Powers pursued them, with a Ninth Layer Heaven Peak Great Power leading the charge, approaching Ye Chen at an extreme speed.

Even with Ye Chen’s Chaos Tripod aided by the Void Divine Platform’s divine effect, and under his guidance, he still couldn’t shake off this Super Great Power, instead, they were drawing closer over the distance.

"Is this the terror of a Peak Great Power?"

Ye Chen frowned but continued to accelerate. During this, he used the Swallowing Heaven and Earth divine skill from the Chaos Law, comprehended from other magic techniques. Helped by the Chaos Law, he activated it, causing ten layers of divine light to appear behind him. They then transformed into black holes, continuously drawing massive amounts of divine power from the space turbulence.

It’s known that while divine power exists within the endless space turbulence and is vast and boundless, the turbulent nature is extremely violent, so much that even Great Powers avoid agitating it lest it affects them. Yet Ye Chen, with no restraint, was madly drawing it in, causing a sky-shattering release of violent divine power towards him, absorbed into the black holes.

The spot he was in became wildly chaotic, fracturing nearby Plane Worlds, radiating an immense terror.

Rumble——

Ye Chen continued to flee quickly, absorbing the endless violent divine power rapidly to recover, and converting divine power continuously, resulting in the Chaos Tripod’s speed increasing in an instant, maintaining a persistent gap between them.

The distant Peak Great Power expressed admiration, "Truly worthy of the Combat Saint King of the Ancient Universe, such means are indeed extraordinary, likely unmatched even at my youthful peak."

"It’s a pity, Combat Saint King, despite your talent, hand over the Emperor Body, and I assure you, I’ll spare your life."

The Peak Great Power spoke, revealing a sense of cherishing talent.

But Ye Chen wasn’t swayed, continuing to speed up, raising his speed sharply, making it so that none of the other Great Powers could catch up, having no choice but to watch them both vanish from view.

"What do we do?"

The group of Great Powers exchanged glances, uncertain of what to do.

"Report to the Sovereign!"

With no options remaining, the Great Powers decided on this course.

In the endless space turbulence, this pursuit lasted a whole month, both parties pushing to their limits, continuing at an extreme speed, crossing from the universe’s exterior into its inner territories.

Being at this limit, both Ye Chen and the Peak Great Power felt fatigued, impressed by each other’s endurance.

Even the most abundant divine power of an ordinary Great Power couldn’t provide this endurance. The Peak Great Power was a veteran, having reached the Ninth Layer Heaven as a Great Power, his divine power was unimaginably vast.

Yet young Ye Chen’s endurance was beyond expectations, proving terrifying to behold.

At last, the Peak Great Power transmitted, "Combat Saint King, you can stop. I will vow to the Heavenly Dao not to pursue further."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen halted, noticing the Peak Great Power had indeed stopped too. Curious but exhausted, he looked at the other.

This death-defying escape left him potent in divine power loss and under constant extreme tension, resulting in exhaustion, but hearing the other’s willingness to stop allowed him a slight relief.

Even he wasn’t keen on endlessly running for his life like this.

With a swipe, both left the endless space turbulence, returning to the starry sky.

The elderly Peak Great Power with white hair and a youthful visage, surprisingly energetic with strong blood qi, though aging, hasn’t yet reached the twilight’s blood qi exhaustion.

Seeing Ye Chen finally stopped, a gentle smile graced his face, softly speaking, "Combat Saint King, I admire you. I never expected you to escape under my watch for a month with such enduring stamina, a rarity in my life. But you must realize I am a Ninth Layer Heaven Great Power, my divine power destined long-lasting, able to continue pursuit for decades if needed."

Here, he referenced not the extreme chase, but his life’s fastest speed, knowing extreme pursuit was ultimately unsustainable.

Ye Chen grinned, revealing a smile, "What you say is true, senior, but as a junior, I can also achieve this."

Turning his palm, he revealed three Great Power Pills, radiating abundant divine energy, stunning the Peak Great Power.
