Before a full second passed, a sound like shattering porcelain echoed through the entire passage, emanating from the ripple. // This invisible barrier spontaneously collapsed, transforming into countless turbulent air currents rushing through the passageway.

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed, his figure soaring forward as he streaked into the chaotic flow of the passage. At the corner of the fleshy wall, he saw a vast space surrounded by vivid red flesh, slick with thick, foul-smelling mucus, pulsing slightly like a colossal heart.

Before Ye Chen could examine the area closely, he was interrupted by a sharp roar. Before him charged more than a dozen strangely shaped, gigantic monsters, intermixed with swarms of Black Blood Worm Kings.

Ye Chen glanced quickly; there must have been no fewer than a thousand Black Blood Worm Kings, their carapaces emitting a faint golden light, imbued with an intense aura of Chaos, as if representing both the beginning and the end of all things. Facing the onslaught of the ravenous beasts, Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

He suddenly clenched his hand, and the void before him seemed to become a sheet of transparent cloth, which he snatched and crumpled. The bodies of the charging beasts twisted and folded along with it.

“Twelve Profound Meanings, Sky.” Ye Chen’s gaze was icy. Although the Twelve Profound Meanings obtained in the Snow Domain had been forged into his black flames, he had not forgotten how to use them and could still deploy them.

Sky represented the absolute extreme of Emptiness. “Shatter!” Ye Chen struck the distorted space before him with a punch, as if hitting a massive ice mirror.

From his fist, cracking fissures spread rapidly outward, instantly covering the entire space before it exploded into ruin. The thousand-odd Black Blood Worms rushing head-on instantly disintegrated into countless fragments, as if sealed within individual shards of shattered mirror.

They fluttered and glittered in the collapsing void, then fell to the ground, breaking into pieces. The dozen or so massive monsters trailing behind rapidly split into several sections, sealed within flat, mirrored planes, dropping to the floor and shattering into powder.

However, before Ye Chen could charge forward, he saw even more monsters swarming out from within, engulfing him like a flood. Ye Chen frowned.

A frigid gas erupted from his meridians through his pores, causing his clothes and armor to show signs of freezing. The temperature of the surrounding world seemed to drop instantly to absolute zero.

“Ice Seal,” Ye Chen raised his hand and grasped. With a sweep of his arm, a bone-chilling cold current swept out furiously, rapidly freezing the approaching monsters from their feet upward, solidifying them into ice sculptures.

Ye Chen did not immediately shatter them. Instead, he took the opportunity to look past the row of ice sculptures.

In a clearing, he saw a small, golden marten crouched down, radiating a god-like golden brilliance, like a dazzling, scorching sun, full of brilliant, vast energy. It was standing on all fours, its amber eyes flashing with ferocity, growling softly.

Behind it yawned a massive black hole from which Black Blood Worm Kings and other monsters continuously poured forth. Ye Chen’s eyes flickered as he focused on the little golden marten.

He took a step forward, and the surging black flame energy within his body erupted like a raging torrent, shattering the dozen connected ice sculptures before him. The torrent swept forward like a wave of black light toward the golden marten.

The golden marten’s clear eyes tightened slightly, a sharp malice flashing in its pupils. Its body shifted slightly, and it let out a low growl.

Immediately, a large number of monsters surged out from the great black hole behind it, rushing forward like a bursting dam, forming a wall of flesh and blood to block the wave of black light. Puff!

The black flame energy wave cut like knives through the carapaces and flesh of these monsters, splashing out a spray of greenish-blue, foul-smelling fluid. Immediately following, centered on these minute black wounds, massive flames erupted, completely consuming and incinerating the bodies of the monsters.

Ye Chen’s expression was cold. His body flashed forward, bringing him directly in front of the golden marten.

He looked down upon it from above, raised his hand, and grasped. A frigid white mist jetted out, instantly freezing the great black hole behind it into ice.

Even a colossal beast that had managed to get half a foot out of the hole was frozen solid into an ice sculpture. The golden marten’s gaze toward Ye Chen showed fear.

It slightly lowered its body into a charging posture, yet hesitantly drew back, as if wary of the aura Ye Chen possessed. Ye Chen let out a cold snort.

He held up his palm, and a spherical ball of black flame materialized there, alien and chilling, filled with an evil aura. He hurled it forth, smashing violently against the body of the golden marten.

The golden marten roared abruptly and spat out a surging, brilliant pillar of light woven from seven or eight interlaced colors. It swept across the void like an illusory light, and the time and space within the entire clearing seemed to momentarily freeze.

A cold light flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes. He thrust out his hand, his palm covered in thick black flames, directly touching the brilliant pillar.

A devouring force seeped out, utterly consuming the radiant light beam. After destroying the brilliant light pillar, Ye Chen did not pause.

Black flames erupted from his entire body, turning him into a massive fireball, as if a black demon were about to break free from within him. Then, the black light suddenly retracted into his body before exploding outward violently.

A massive shockwave of energy propagated outward from his body in all directions. Around his form, the surrounding fleshy wall space became indistinct.

The moment the brilliant pillar had appeared, all time and space seemed to twist. The surrounding frozen monsters, the black hole behind it, and the ice covering them all began to recede rapidly, as if regressing.

Even the Black Blood Worm Kings and monsters that had been incinerated by the black flames moments before seemed to rewind like a fast-forwarded movie, rapidly manifesting out of thin air. The black flames on their bodies swiftly detached and retreated backward.

Reversal of Time and Space— This was the most fundamental technique of an Epoch Realm expert. However, all this proceeded only halfway before it was annihilated like an illusion by the churning black flames erupting from Ye Chen’s body.

“If you make them revive, I will make them die again!” Ye Chen’s gaze was icy as he looked down at the golden marten. He slammed his palm down heavily, channeling the power of his internal cosmos into his hand.

This single strike carried the might of an entire universe! Although Ye Chen’s internal cosmos had not yet created life—it was still an incipient universe, devoid of the irrigation of faith power, and all its fundamental laws were immature, not yet having evolved into supreme transcendent laws—its power could not be underestimated.

Especially since he had cultivated the Heavenly Dao Scripture, the light-year radius of his internal cosmos was many times that of other Divine Emperor experts! In terms of the internal cosmos alone, even among Void Heaven Realm experts, those with a larger area were few and far between.

As this palm struck down, the air and energy in the surrounding space seemed to be vacuumed out, shooting wildly outward. The fierce power blew the golden marten’s fur so violently it nearly detached, plastering against its body.

The palm wind pressed its body down until it was almost flat on the ground. The golden marten, driven to desperation, could not move under the immense pressure of the palm wind.

Its amber eyes flared with despair and savagery, and its body suddenly erupted in dense golden light, appearing ready to self-detonate. Ye Chen’s eyes flashed.

A stream of white vapor shot from his palm, enveloping the creature like frost mist. Instantly, its entire body, from head to limbs, was rapidly frozen into a block of ice.

Ye Chen withdrew his hand, and the oppressive force around them immediately dissipated. He looked around and noticed that the flesh where he stood had been pressed down into a deep concave indentation by an overwhelming force.

Ye Chen ignored it. With a wave of his hand, he selectively thawed the ice on one of the golden marten’s forelegs.

However, it seemed unconscious, remaining motionless. Ye Chen summoned Xiao Hei from his internal cosmos.

“You enter its body to restrain it; I will shatter its soul from the outside.” Xiao Hei crawled to the edge of his palm, looked down at the golden marten, and was utterly dumbfounded. “It’s actually this monster!

Boss, you can actually tame it? You, you, you… truly live up to being my Boss!” Ye Chen glanced at it.

“Do the memories of the Black Blood Worm King contain any recollection of this thing?” “Yes,” Xiao Hei nodded excitedly. “According to the memories, this thing is a pet raised by the Earth Blood Beast.

It is very powerful, and the Black Blood Worm Kings and other monsters are all creatures created within its internal cosmos. The energy required to create these creatures is all supplied by the Earth Blood Beast, whose energy is virtually limitless.” “And the Black Blood Worm King I currently occupy was a relatively weak one within this monster’s internal cosmos.

Because it was weak, it wasn't qualified to guard the treasure here.” “Treasure?” Ye Chen frowned. “Yes,” Xiao Hei scratched its head.

“The Black Blood Worm King’s memory only mentioned this: this monster has never left this place, seemingly guarding something—it must be a very precious treasure.” Ye Chen nodded slightly. “Control it first.” Xiao Hei’s eyes immediately lit up.

Gaining control of this golden marten would bring far greater benefits than controlling this single Black Blood Worm King. It immediately controlled the Black Blood Worm King’s body, hopped to the golden marten’s front leg, detached itself from the body, and returned to its original form.

Ye Chen flipped his palm and summoned the Heavenly Illusion Mirror, aiming it at the golden marten’s body to immediately replicate it. Soon, a golden marten of the same size appeared beside it.

The unsuspecting Xiao Hei jumped in fright and immediately shrank behind Ye Chen, clutching his trousers tightly. Ye Chen flicked his foot and tossed it out.

“Don’t be afraid.” Xiao Hei tumbled on the ground like a fur ball a few times before climbing up. It then looked at the golden marten, its body trembling slightly.

In the Black Blood Worm King’s memories, this golden marten was a god! Now that it stood alive before it, fear was unavoidable.
