Eternal Holy Emperor

The boundless darkness was the bloodthirsty maw of the Star Beast, now turned into an abyss, intent on devouring Ye Chen and his companions along with the Trial Ancient City.

Ye Chen and the others were not ordinary people, nor were they common Great Powers. Battle opportunities erupted.

This Star Beast was not ordinary either; it was a mature phase beast, and typical mature Star Beasts belong to the Great Power Realm. Yet, this beast was a king among Star Beasts, comparable to a Super Great Power of the Eighth Layer Heaven, possessing a terrifying Star Divine Body, far more frightful than imagined.

Ye Chen had not yet made a move, even though this was a Star Beast King, he didn’t care too much. He had refined three Nine Heavens Profound Crystals, successfully reaching the Sixth Layer Heaven Middle Stage, claiming his combat prowess even dared match the Ninth Layer Heaven. This Star Beast King was nothing to him.

Under his command, Aben made a move. In these months, she had already absorbed a small portion of the seven Supreme Pinnacle bodies, her strength climbing a notch to reach Late Stage Seventh Layer Heaven. Furthermore, she was a Basic Young Supreme, capable of challenging an Eighth Layer Heaven Late Stage being.

She let out a long cry, transforming into her true form—the gigantic Golden Divine Dragon stretching ten thousand miles in length, with an imposing grandeur. On her golden form, countless mysterious patterns appeared on the densely arranged dragon scales, resembling innate Dao Patterns, releasing a supreme Emperor-like majesty that leaves one awed.

This was due to the Emperor Bloodline Power within the seven Supreme Pinnacles being devoured and assimilated. Though it wasn’t especially potent now, in due time, this bloodline power might not be weaker than the Emperor’s son and daughter’s Emperor Bloodline Power.

Boom boom boom——

Aben waged an awful battle with the Star Beast King. Although the beast’s body was unimaginably large, even bigger than Aben’s true form of a ten-thousand-mile-long Golden True Dragon Insect Queen, it was extraordinarily agile, swiftly maneuvering with unparalleled nimbleness. Its immense Star Divine Body was dreadful, incomparable to ordinary stars.

This Star Beast King continually devours stars as it grows, accumulating the true essence of many stars within, making the King’s body hard and immortal, capable of withstanding tremendous attacks.

The Star Beast King and Aben fought fiercely across several Star Domains, demolishing countless stars with intense ferocity.

However, Aben was ultimately stronger. Her Golden True Dragon-like true form, created by absorbing vast Emperor Bloodline Power, far exceeded the might of ordinary Great Divine Bodies, considered among the top powerful divine bodies of the Great Power Realm. Even the Star Beast King’s divine body, refined from the essence of numerous Heavenly Stars, couldn’t compare.

In combat, Aben inflicted numerous cracks, shedding copious blood from the beast, even penetrating and piercing through the beast’s Star Divine Body with a True Dragon Sky Technique, blood-soaked across Star Domains—a tragic sight.

"Roar——"

The Star Beast King let out a tragic roar, shaking the starry sky, echoing untold thousands of miles.

As Aben prepared for a victorious pursuit, poised to slay the Star Beast King, a terrifying aura suddenly surged from the depths of the starry sky, sweeping through interstellar space, spreading at an astonishing speed.

Soon, Ye Chen and the others saw, a terrifying, colossal dark shadow appeared deep within the starry sky—a size beyond imagination, much bigger than the Star Beast King engaged in battle.

The aura released from its body vibrated the Starry Sky Land, crushing the scattered stars, even inducing a palpable sense of doom within Ye Chen.

Beyond Great Power, Nine Tribulations Realm!

Ye Chen’s usually calm face finally showed a hint of emotion. That was another dreadful Star Beast. If the one before was deemed a Star Beast King, then the one arriving could be considered the King of Kings.

Flee!

Without hesitation, Ye Chen immediately waved to summon the Chaos Tripod, rapidly collecting Aben, Mo Haishen, and Luoo Guyun—three Supreme Heavenly Pride—and then swiftly utilized the Traversing Secret Technique, accelerating to the extreme, transforming into Chaos Immortal Light, crossing stars in an instant, Star Domains rapidly receding.

Roar——

The Nine Tribulations existence, deemed the Star Beast King of Kings, approached swiftly with boundless Divine Power. Where it traversed, Heavenly Stars trembled, unable to withstand the vast pressure, exploding into brilliant fireworks.

A blood light surged from the King of Kings, engulfing the Star Beast King, brimming with immense Life Essence that rapidly healed the Star Beast King’s wounds.

The Star Beast King growled obsequiously at the King of Kings, yet resented as divine communication spread: "King, those audacious humans sought to kill me; you must avenge this injustice!"

"Rest assured, mere humans dare to harm my Daoist couple, destined for extinction!"

It turns out, the Star Beast King was the King of King’s Daoist couple.

Boom——

The King of King’s speed suddenly increased manifold; vast shadows moved swiftly across the starry sky, like a moving Star Domain, detonate stars along the path.

The entire starry sky roared and shook violently, creating vast space chasms.

Concerning the relationship between the Star Beast King as the King of King’s Daoist couple, Ye Chen hadn’t perceived it. Now he hastened, deploying the full extent of Wuxiang King’s Traversing Secret Technique.

Not daring to deploy the Chaos Tripod for escape, lest negligence allowed the Nine Tribulations existence to alter the space-time realm, obstructing him from succeeding.

Only when sufficiently distanced would he dare to employ the Chaos Tripod.

Yet Ye Chen’s speed was inarguably peerless; claiming the pinnacle of the Great Power Realm. Nonetheless, once reaching the Nine Tribulations Realm, attaining strands of King’s power gained enormous enhancements, including frightening speed equating Ye Chen’s.

In this situation, even mastering the Traversing Secret Technique’s superior movement technique couldn’t effortlessly lose a superior Divinity Transformation Realm opponent like before at the Demigod Realm.

As cultivation rises, the gap between realms widens exponentially.

For the Great Power Realm, the difference between layers is even surpassing the disparity between Demigod and Divinity Transformation.

Ye Chen fled swiftly, facing a Nine Tribulations Realm existence he couldn’t confront directly. Though not genuinely fearful, possessing ample trump cards for maneuvering, he chose not to deploy them now.

Those trump cards, he reserved for critical moments, avoiding use to gain genuine trial benefits.
