Eternal Holy Emperor

Chapter 1904: Chapter 1719: Breaking Through to the Fourth Layer Heaven!

Ye Chen’s entire body emitted radiant splendor, appearing as majestic as a Divine Land, illuminating the heavens, dazzling the sky, and such a peerless divine presence made all who saw him bow down in admiration.

The Divine Desolate Venerable from afar felt an immense oppressive power descending from the sky, making even him feel uneasy.

However, Ye Chen could feel that his Chaos Sacred Body could not fully recover because the Dao injury was still present. This was no ordinary Dao injury; it involved the suppression of Super Great Power and Emperor Body, influences from Ancient Monarchs and Emperor Curses, all accumulated together, making it very severe. It was impossible to recover easily with just a few Pills, unless it was a Ninth-Order Immortal Pill that could reach that level.

But after consuming a few Pills, his injuries had recovered to a significant extent. The remaining part of the Dao injury only needed to be suppressed, and with the gradual improvement in cultivation, it could heal over time.

Only then did Ye Chen start to truly feel his own cultivation, Great Power Third Layer Heaven peak!

Because of the continuous life-and-death battles fought over the past month, combined with the accumulation during his slumber, he broke through to the level of Great Power Third Layer Heaven, thoroughly stabilizing his realm, steadily advancing toward Fourth Layer Heaven, just a step away from Great Power Fourth Layer Heaven.

He felt a vast and majestic divine power filling his limbs and bones, a power even stronger than before his slumber, yet Ye Chen couldn’t help but let out a faint sigh of helplessness.

Because as cultivation progresses to the later stages, it becomes increasingly difficult to advance.

Initially, every major realm breakthrough often came with an advancement of two or three minor realms.

This, though partly due to his exceptionally deep accumulation, resulted in an explosive advancement once the great realm was surpassed.

Even then, the speed of advancement didn’t seem slow.

However, now, after a life-and-death battle, being severely injured, and sleeping for three years, he only advanced one Layer Heaven, not yet completely breaking through to Fourth Layer Heaven.

Yet, if other Great Powers knew Ye Chen’s thoughts, they would surely scold him severely.

The later the stage of cultivation, the harder it is to progress.

Especially for Great Powers, despite living for ten thousand years, throughout history, countless Great Powers have never crossed the Seventh Layer Heaven.

Because each Layer Heaven requires the accumulation of thousands of years for a Great Power to truly advance, encountering a bottleneck might mean a lifetime without breaking through to the next Layer Heaven.

Yet here Ye Chen almost crossed two minor realms in just a month of life-and-death battle and three years of slumber, a speed so extraordinary it’s considered monstrous, envied by countless Great Powers.

If even this doesn’t satisfy him, how would those Great Powers feel who take thousands to tens of thousands of years to advance a minor realm?

Of course, Ye Chen understood this well, but he faced immense pressure, a bloodstained future standing invincible yet solitary against the world, making him feel overwhelming pressure and reluctant to face it. Therefore, he hoped to improve his cultivation even faster.

He also understood that, after all, he was not only a Great Power but also a Chaos Great Power. Each Layer Heaven advancement required multiple times more strength than ordinary Great Powers to truly achieve.

However, being at the Great Power Third Layer Heaven peak, unable to take that crucial step, made him somewhat unwilling.

After all, taking that crucial step, who knows how long it would take him to finally succeed?

"Fourth Layer Heaven, eh?"

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then, following his instinct, summoned the Chaos Tripod. He also threw in the two half-refined Super Great Power corpses into the Chaos Tripod, where the Chaos Dao Fire was blazing, radiating brilliant Chaos Light, surging tens of thousands of feet high.

Visibly, even the corpses of the two mighty Super Great Powers were being refined at a rapid speed.

The Divine Desolate Venerable in the distance saw Ye Chen’s astonishing method and the blazing Dao fire emanating intense Chaos Light, causing him to sense a deep, visceral sense of fatal crisis, profoundly realizing the terror of this person, who was absolutely not to be provoked.

Boom boom boom——

Half a day later, the lid of the Chaos Tripod flew open, from which a radiant beam of light shot out, piercing through the Star Domain and entering the vast nebula, illuminating the dim Cosmic Edge Star Domain brilliantly.

Ultimately, six Great Power Pills brimming with intense treasure light were refined, containing unparalleled and abundant Dao Divine Ability, far surpassing ordinary refined Great Power Pills by many folds.

Since the main materials used for refining were two true Super Great Powers, if news spreads, it would definitely trigger a terrifying storm, sweeping across the entire Ancient Universe.

The Divine Desolate Venerable’s eyes burned once again at the sight of the six Super Great Power Treasure Pills, glaring intensely.

Yet, after glancing at Ye Chen, that fiery gaze dimmed instantly.

For he knew deeply, if he dared make a move, this terrifying humanoid creature, who had consumed a substantial amount of Immortal Pills for significant recovery, would likely slay him directly, without any suspense at all.

Staring at the six Super Great Power Treasure Pills, Ye Chen grabbed them, leaving the Divine Desolate Venerable slack-jawed, as he actually swallowed them all at once.

"Damn—"

The Divine Desolate Venerable almost cursed, this was insane, swallowing and refining the Super Great Power Treasure Pills refined from two Super Great Powers’ corpses like this, even peer Super Great Powers wouldn’t dare to be so reckless, for they might be physically blown to bits by the Infinite Divine Power within the six Super Great Power Treasure Pills.

This is essentially courting death.

Yet the Divine Desolate Venerable was dumbstruck, because Ye Chen did not explode from the pressure; instead, light emanated from his body, making it easy to sense the boundless Dao Divine Ability arising within him, making the Divine Desolate Venerable shudder, murmuring: "This is somewhat insane."

Rumble——

All six Super Great Power Pills were genuinely refined into streams of pure, abundant Dao Divine Ability, circulating through his limbs and bones, vast and mighty, filling every inch of his meridians.

The Holy Body Regeneration Technique was activated, instantly refining all the Dao Divine Ability into Life Divine Power, suppressing the Dao injury within once more.

At the same time, his entire body glowed, every inch of his limbs and body flowed with unparalleled, blazing radiance, as if containing rounds of suns, making him akin to a new round of the sun, extraordinarily noticeable, penetrating vast distances, illuminating this dim Star Domain manifold.

Rumble——

The six Super Great Power Treasure Pills were fashioned from two Super Great Power corpses; though not comparable to the essence of two true Super Great Powers, the divine power contained within was equivalent to at least one Super Great Power.

Such divine power was unimaginably vast, enough to elevate a Super Great Power by one or two minor realms.

Originally at the Great Power Third Layer Heaven peak, Ye Chen, upon acquiring the vast divine power of two Super Great Power Treasure Pills, began to break through.
