Shrouding the Heavens: Empress, I am truly not the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!

"Cough...cough cough!"

Ye Chen felt as if he had swallowed not a bone, but a miniature neutron star.

The moment the golden bone fragment entered his stomach, it did not slide down his esophagus, but instead transformed into countless fine golden threads that forcefully burrowed into his limbs and bones.

pain!

It's not the kind of physical pain, but the excruciating pain of having your genetic chain forcibly dismantled and recombined.

"Big sister... this stuff... is indigestible..." Ye Chen knelt on the ground, his hands gripping the soil tightly, veins bulging on his neck, and golden light emanating from every pore.

If you ignored his distorted expression, the scene would have seemed sacred, like someone ascending to heaven.

But only Ye Chen himself knew that he was almost done.

The Devouring Heaven Dao Scripture was running wildly, and the black hole-like vortex of life springs was spinning at its limit, emitting a teeth-grinding "buzzing" sound, trying to grind down this violent holy body's origin.

However, those are the bones of the Great Accomplished Holy Body.

Even if it is just a fragment, the "law" and "reason" contained within it are by no means something that Ye Chen in his current state can easily shake.

Just as Ye Chen felt he was about to turn into a human-shaped firework, another strange change occurred within the divine spring.

Boom!

The golden skeleton that had just fallen silent seemed to sense the loss of its original bone fragments, and the two extinguished soul flames in its previously empty eye sockets reignited.

This time, it wasn't gold, but scarlet.

That was an obsession that wouldn't dissipate after death, the anger of having one's very essence devoured, and even more so, the demonic nature that brought misfortune to one's later years!

"roar--!"

A silent roar exploded in Ye Chen's mind.

The divine spring exploded, and the golden skeleton actually withstood the suppression of the Emperor's Tear, with half of its body breaking out of the water. A bone claw covered in green copper rust, carrying a world-destroying aura, slashed down towards Ye Chen, who was refining bone fragments!

While you are sick, I will kill you!

This is not a corpse that is already dead, it is clearly an ancient ferocious beast covered with a skeleton!

Ye Chen's body was in turmoil, and he was completely unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the bone claw rapidly enlarged in his pupils.

"Oh no, this time it really is takeout."

Ye Chen felt a chill in his heart.

however.

The wind suddenly stopped.

The white-clad empress, who had been standing beside Ye Chen as if watching a play, finally made a move.

She didn't turn around, not even lifting her eyelids.

She simply raised her right hand, extended a slender index finger as white as a scallion, and gently touched the violently emerging golden skeleton.

The movements were gentle, like brushing a speck of dust off a piece of clothing.

"Noisy."

The two words, cold and aloof, are like a law of heaven.

boo.

A soft sound.

The bone claw, powerful enough to shatter the void, came to an abrupt halt three inches above Ye Chen's head.

Immediately afterwards, the world-destroying baleful aura, the two crimson soul flames, and even the entire indestructible Great Accomplished Saint Body skeleton began to crumble inch by inch, like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

There was no explosion, no roar.

It's simply a complete erasure.

Even a powerful Great Accomplished Holy Body is as fragile as tofu in the face of the Empress's single finger strike.

"This...this is the Great Emperor?"

Ye Chen struggled to look up at the golden bone powder falling from the sky, his mind reeling.

He knew the Empress was powerful, but only at this moment did he truly understand what it meant to "destroy the heavens with a thought, and collapse the Milky Way with a touch."

That thigh is freaking thick!

But it's not over yet.

The scattered fragments of the sacred body did not dissipate into the world.

The Empress gently hooked her finger.

"fall."

slam-la-

Countless golden specks of light poured down like a torrential rain, all falling into the Emperor's Tear Divine Spring.

The spring water, which was originally crystal clear and shimmering with colorful light, underwent an amazing transformation at this moment.

gold.

A rich, deep gold color.

The entire pool of divine spring water seemed to have transformed into a pool of molten golden holy liquid. A vast, ancient, and powerful aura gushed forth from the water, dyeing the surrounding peach blossoms golden.

This is the essence of the Great Accomplished Sacred Body's entire life!

It is the essence of his blood and qi that he has cultivated for thousands of years, as well as his complete understanding of the "Tao"!

At this moment, everything was scattered by the Empress's finger and forcibly merged into this divine spring.

"This..." Ye Chen was dumbfounded.

This is no longer bathwater.

This is clearly a "holy tonic soup" that has been simmering for ten thousand years!

The Empress withdrew her hand and her gaze fell on Ye Chen.

His gaze remained calm, but Ye Chen could clearly read a hint of disappointment in it.

"Too crunchy."

The Empress gave her evaluation.

Then, she flicked her sleeve.

call--!

A gentle yet irresistible force swept Ye Chen up and threw him directly into the scalding golden divine spring.

"thump!"

Before Ye Chen could even shout "It's hot!", he was completely submerged in the golden liquid.

Zizizi!

It's like throwing a piece of raw meat into boiling oil.

"Aaaaaahh ...

A heart-wrenching scream instantly echoed throughout the entire Peach Blossom Spring.

pain!It hurts so much!

If swallowing the bone tablets earlier caused internal heat to burn the body, then this is now a double attack from both inside and outside.

The golden spring water seemed to have a life of its own, seeping into every pore of Ye Chen's body. It forcefully washed over Ye Chen's flesh, veins, and bones.

This is not nourishment.

This is plunder, this is assimilation!

The Holy Body's domineering bloodline intends to completely transform Ye Chen, this "mortal body," into its form!

[WARNING! WARNING! High-energy alien intrusion detected!]

[The host's physical body is collapsing... Repairing... Collapsing...]

[The Devouring Heaven Dao Scripture is running automatically under overload!]

The system notification sounds were frantically scrolling through my mind.

Ye Chen could no longer hear.

His consciousness floated in a golden ocean. In a daze, he seemed to see a towering golden giant, swinging his fists, fighting against the heavens and contending with the earth.

"I refuse to accept this! If the heavens oppress me, I will shatter them!"

That indomitable will, flowing with the spring water, relentlessly assaulted Ye Chen's soul.

"I'm not convinced!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his mouth full of blood.

On the verge of life and death, he was instead ignited with a fierce determination.

"I'm a con artist, I even dared to fool the Empress, why would I be afraid of a deadbeat like you?"

"So what if you're the Holy Body? You're just a pot of soup for me now!"

"Devour the Heavenly Dao, absorb it all! Absorb the entire basin!"

boom!

The life spring within Ye Chen's body went completely berserk.

What was originally just a "pseudo-innate Dao embryo" physique now displayed astonishing inclusiveness. The Dao embryo is compatible with all Daos, and the sacred body is unparalleled in physical form.

These two are extremes.

However, under the harmonization of the "universal converter" that is the Devouring Heaven Dao Scripture, a wonderful chemical reaction began to occur.

Ye Chen's broken bones began to regenerate. The new bones were no longer white, but had a warm, jade-like color, while a faint golden glow flowed within the bone marrow.

His blood was boiling, and a sacred golden thread gradually appeared in his originally bright red blood.

Gumbling.

The water level in the pool is dropping rapidly.

Ye Chen's aura, however, was steadily rising.

Divine Bridge Realm, fourth level... fifth level... sixth level...

This isn't just riding a rocket, it's riding a spaceship at the speed of light!

I don't know how much time passed.

As the last wisp of golden spring water was absorbed, the entire Peach Blossom Spring returned to silence.

At the bottom of the dried-up pool, a figure sat cross-legged.

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes.

hum!

Two beams of golden light, almost tangible, shot out from his eyes, creating two visible ripples in the void.

He stood up and casually clenched his fist.

Click!

The air in his palm was crushed and burst with a crisp sound.

"This power..."
