Boom!
The entire sky of the Ghost Realm seemed to rumble as a bright blade light flashed across like a shooting star, illuminating the vast land.
The Sea of Bitterness had shattered.
The shattered Sea of Bitterness was like a mirror, shattering into countless ice shards that fluttered in the sky before finally landing on the ground.
Sovereign Yama's body stood upright, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief. However, he could no longer speak.
A dead person could not speak.
When the breeze swept over, a bloody wound slowly appeared on his chest. It was thick and thin, like radiant blood, slowly spreading to his entire body. Then, with a bang, it exploded.
A rain of blood dripped from the sky, soaking the ground. It also chilled the hearts of Sovereign Yama and Sovereign Evil Spirit.
The dignified Sovereigns of the Ghost Realm, standing on their home ground, couldn't even take a single strike from Ye Chen!
"You, you …" Supreme Shura's face turned deathly pale. Her watery eyes contracted as she stared at Ye Chen as if she was looking at a ferocious beast. "How did you become so powerful? I've seen your battles back then. You, you didn't have this kind of strength."
"Back then was back then. Now is now." Ye Chen looked at her indifferently as if he was looking at a dead person.
There were always so many people in this world who liked to look at people in the present with the eyes of the past. Wasn't this stupid? Would stupidity lead to death?
Sovereign Yama was speechless. Her face was ashen.
Ye Chen glanced at Sovereign Evil Spirit. "Although you are in the Ghost Realm and have the boundless power of the world supporting your bodies, I can instantly cut off the connection between your bodies and the Ghost Realm with extreme speed and then destroy you. So, don't try to struggle. I allow you to submit to me as slaves."
In the face of death, putting down glory and dignity to become a lowly slave was a kind of blessing.
Sovereign Yama and Sovereign Evil Spirit were silent for a while. Then, they looked at each other and slowly nodded. They lowered their heads to Ye Chen and said, "We are willing to submit."
Ye Chen coldly snorted. "I will bestow upon you saber seals and make you my saber slaves. If you resist during the process of bestowing the seals, I will directly crush your souls!"
Supreme Asura and Supreme Evil Spirit were silent for a moment, then nodded.
Ye Chen raised his index finger and pointed forward. Sharp saber light appeared on his fingernail, which seemed to be able to slice open a snow-white crack in space. Immediately afterward, his index finger rapidly moved, quickly forming a complicated and mysterious seal that shot toward Sovereign Evil Spirit's forehead.
Sovereign Evil Spirit sighed inwardly and closed his eyes.
The blazing saber mark was branded on his forehead, like an immortal contract, embedded in the depths of his soul.
A moment later, the blade mark on Sovereign Evil Spirit's forehead slowly seeped into his skin, and the intense white light emitted from the mark also slowly receded. It was like a shining eye on his forehead was slowly closing, until it disappeared.
Sovereign Evil Spirit opened his eyes once more. His aura seemed to have gained a hint of sharpness. He looked at Ye Chen with a cold and gentle gaze filled with reverence. He knelt on one knee in the air and said, "Greetings, Master!"
Ye Chen tilted his head and looked at Supreme Asura, who was standing beside him, with a scrutinizing gaze.
Supreme Asura looked at Supreme Evil Spirit kneeling on one knee and felt a little shock in her heart. At the same time, she also felt a little uncomfortable. What kind of people were they in the past? They stood at the peak of the world, accepting the world's baptism and recognition. They were true powerhouses. It had always been others kneeling in front of them, trembling in fear. But now, they were kneeling in front of Ye Chen, shattering all of their past glory and dignity with their own hands!
Ye Chen looked at the complex expression on Supreme Asura's face. His expression didn't change at all, as if he wasn't worried that she would resist.
Sure enough, after a brief internal struggle, Supreme Asura sighed inwardly and closed her eyes in resignation.
Ye Chen's expression didn't change at all. His finger quickly moved, and a blade mark shot out towards her forehead, embedding itself in it.
For a world powerhouse like Supreme Asura, she could be considered an ambitious and ruthless person!
Ambitious and ruthless people all had one thing in common, and that was that they could pick up and let go!
Thus, Ye Chen wasn't worried at all that they would refuse.
Those who were truly arrogant would have died a long time ago. Being too hard was easy to break. This was the truth.
"Greetings, Master."
After Supreme Asura became a blade slave, her aura seemed to have risen a little. She knelt in front of Ye Chen and respectfully and sincerely said.
Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the dusky sky behind the two. He said indifferently, "Both of you release your inner worlds and capture all of the creatures in the Ghost Realm."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Supreme Asura and Supreme Evil Spirit stood up and looked back at the vast sky. Their figures flashed, and they disappeared. They entered the most prosperous place in the Ghost Realm to capture creatures.
At their level, they naturally understood Ye Chen's intention. No matter how Ye Chen massacred all the creatures in the Ghost Realm, even if they were all slaughtered, their corpses would still belong to the Ghost Realm.
This was the definition of conservation of energy.
The core of the Ghost Realm only needed to use some methods, such as speeding up the flow of time in the world by a hundred million times. In just a few years, the Ghost Realm would regain its vitality and give birth to the earliest creatures, which would then rapidly evolve and reproduce.
Thus, the only way was to capture all of these creatures into one's inner worlds.
Ye Chen looked in the direction where the two supreme powerhouses had left. His eyes were cold. He grabbed with his hand, and the fragments of the Misery Sea that had fallen on the ground all flew out and gathered in his palm. They turned into a chaotic ball with a clear crack on it.
"The Misery Sea is nothing more than this."
The corner of Ye Chen's mouth curled up. He clenched his hand, and the entire Misery Sea collapsed into countless fragments in his palm. Like dust, before they could dissipate, they were sucked into his body by the suction force from the pores of his palm.
After the fragments of the Misery Sea were sucked into his body, they were quickly burned into pure energy by the intense heat in his body. Since his body awakened, the black flame in his body had reached an unprecedented level of exuberance. It could even smelt world-class weapons.
After devouring the Misery Sea, Ye Chen felt that his body had become a little stronger. It was equivalent to increasing the power of a supreme powerhouse.
Ye Chen displayed his inner world, which constantly expanded into the distance and quickly enveloped the land of the Ghost Realm. All the people in the Ghost Realm, whether they were Ghost Kings, Ghost Emperors, or Ghost Gods, saw the color of the sky change. It was as if a door to another dimension had opened. They could see a vast continent in the sky. They all put down what they were doing and looked up at the sky.
"What happened?"
"What is this?"
"What the hell is going on?"
Everyone looked at this strange change, full of fear, as if something ominous had happened.
When Ye Chen expanded his inner world to about ten light-years in diameter, he felt that the world origin of the Ghost Realm was resisting his own world. It used the majestic world power of the Ghost Realm in the void to crazily compress his inner world.
Ye Chen frowned. He mobilized the vigorous power in his body and penetrated it into his inner world, causing the expansion of his inner world to rapidly increase. It didn't stop until it reached two hundred thousand light-years in diameter.
Ye Chen didn't forcibly increase it again. After all, the Ghost Realm was a world that had existed for countless years. The world power it had accumulated was incomparably vigorous. It would be a waste of energy to fight it head-on.
He grabbed the void with his palm, and a strong suction force suddenly burst out from his inner world. It crazily swallowed all the creatures within the range of his inner world like whales playing with water. Whether it was God Emperor-Level ghosts or ghosts in the Virtual Sky World, they were all sucked in without any resistance.
With a thought, the world became barren.
There wasn't a single creature within twenty light-years. There were only empty ghost cities, murmuring black rivers, and dense and silent forests.
There was no sound between heaven and earth.
Ye Chen immediately felt that there were countless more lives in his inner world. They were all gathered in a large prefecture in his inner world. The threads of fate emitted from each life were tightly connected to his inner world. He could change the fate of these lives and control their life and death.
From these creatures, vigorous power of faith was emitted, enriching his inner world and making the inner walls of his inner world more vigorous and solid.
Feeling the earth-shaking changes in his inner world, Ye Chen's mouth curved into a sneer. His body flashed and disappeared out of thin air. When he reappeared, he was two hundred thousand light-years away.
From an optical point of view, it was absolutely unimaginable that the human body could exceed the speed of light by two hundred thousand times.
However, when one reached Ye Chen's realm, one's every move could no longer be explained by technology. It was a kind of spirit, a kind of law, and a kind of power.
Appearing two hundred thousand light-years away, Ye Chen immediately displayed his inner world, expanded it to two hundred thousand light-years, and then swallowed it again.
His body was like a huge suction cup, constantly sucking all the creatures in the World of Spirits and Souls into his inner world.
There were a total of three continents and countless small continents in the Ghost Realm. The diameter of each small continent was about one light-year or even longer.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Ye Chen's body shuttled through the void, constantly collecting the lives on the small continents. Occasionally, he found high-quality and rich mineral veins. He directly dug them out and swallowed them into his body to strengthen his physique.
In his eyes, all the weapons in the world were just his food.
There was only one use for weapons, and that was to fight!
Soon, more than half of Ye Chen's Ghost Realm was swept clean by Ye Chen. Not long after, he saw Supreme Asura and Supreme Evil Spirit appear from the void, kneeling on one knee in front of him. They opened their inner worlds and respectfully said, "Master, this is what we found."
Ye Chen glanced at them. Their Inner Worlds were shaped like planets. There were many floating planets of varying sizes, and countless people lived on them. They looked like tiny black dots moving about. Ye Chen looked at them and saw that they were like tiny black dots moving about.
"Mm."
Ye Chen grasped with his hand, opened his inner world, and swept all the creatures in their inner worlds into his. Even the creatures that they had originally cultivated in their inner worlds were taken in.
"Collect the rest, then follow me to the Demigod World," Ye Chen said indifferently.
"Yes." Supreme Asura and Supreme Evil Spirit bowed their heads and accepted the order. Their bodies disappeared like smoke.
Ye Chen looked up at the sky. The entire Ghost Realm had been swept clean by him, but the World Origin of the Ghost Realm still hadn't appeared. Ever since the Ghost Realm and the Ancient World separated, the World Origin of the Ghost Realm had given birth to its own thoughts. It hadn't come out yet, most likely because it sensed him and knew that even if it came out, it would be useless. It would only fight with him, and nothing would change.
Or perhaps … its target was somewhere else.
