Ye Chen’s Shaking Heaven Hand slammed out directly, jade-like and peerlessly beautiful, circulating with Chaos Ancient Energy, tearing everything apart. Between his fingers and palm countless anomalies emerged, like the Five Fingers Mountain of the Tathagata Buddha, crashing down with a roar, colliding with it, blasting open boundless Sky Light, and then forcibly tearing all Nine Divine Light Pillars apart, shattering them completely.

The heavens of all worlds trembled, and nearly half of the Pill Ruins Ancient World quaked violently!

Rumble——

Ye Chen clashed with the Nine-headed Giant Snake, the battle incomparably fierce, shaking the entire Pill Ruins Ancient World. The Ten Directions Mountain Range trembled as well, and in the end they even fought up into the gray, hazy Heavenly Universe, displaying an earth-shattering war.

Chaos Light exploded outward, and Ye Chen manifested an unparalleled Dao Heavenly Might, as if the most terrifying Emperor had descended to the dust. Heavenly Stars emerged one after another and revolved out, evolving into a vast starry sky that pressed down directly, seeking to crush everything into nothingness, entering into an incomparably terrifying collision with the Nine-headed Giant Snake.

All kinds of Divine Light burst and shattered within, continuously tearing apart, endlessly colliding and shaking, striking again and again, the intensity beyond imagination.

At last, with blood light blasting into the sky, infinite blood rain sprinkling across the heavens, the gigantic figure of the Nine-headed Giant Snake fell from on high, crashing into the mountain range below, forcefully smashing out a colossal pit. Mountain ranges stretching for who knew how many tens of thousands of li all collapsed, with countless deaths and injuries, extremely eye-catching.

Finally, everything came to an end. Ye Chen stepped down from the void of the Heavenly Dome, one step at a time, as if walking down an invisible staircase. Chaos Ancient Energy coiled around his body, Heavenly Stars accompanying him, boundless visions swirling, like an Emperor descending to the mortal world, drawing all gazes.

High above, he overlooked the Nine-headed Giant Snake below. He did not kill it, but watched everything indifferently, then slowly said, "Are you willing to submit to me and become the Overlord of this Ancient Realm?"

Hearing this, the many powerhouses of the heavens who were watching all had a change in expression. What did the Combat Saint King’s words mean?

Yet the Nine-headed Giant Snake had already suffered grievous wounds, on the verge of death. If other Great Demons attacked it now, there would only be a dead end. But upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, it seemed there was still another path it could take.

Moreover, this young junior who had defeated it was indeed terrifying to the extreme; even if it submitted, it would not be anything shameful.

"I, the Nine Snake King, am willing to submit beneath Master’s banner and wage war on all sides for Master!"

On the spot, the Nine-headed Giant Snake immediately agreed, its nine tattered snake heads all drooping low, displaying a posture of submission.

"Very good!"

Ye Chen descended directly onto the central snake head, and Chaos Light surged from his body. The Daoist Profound Meaning of the God King Revival Technique poured straight into the Nine-headed Giant Snake’s body, causing its injuries to recover at lightning speed, visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, the Nine-headed Giant Snake had recovered, and fully at that. All this made the Nine-headed Giant Snake feel as if it were witnessing a myth, utterly inconceivable, and it felt even more submissive and reverent toward its master Ye Chen!

The Pill Ruins Ancient World was vast and magnificent; even though it was a King Great World that had suffered a miserable defeat and fallen into decline, it was still boundless, grand, and unimaginably huge.

Within were endless stretching mountain ranges, and also Ancient Forests steeped in the vicissitudes of time, extending for who knew how many tens of thousands of li.

One after another Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were rooted within, and among them there was no lack of true Medicine Spirits, often with medicinal ages of tens of thousands of years, even over a hundred thousand years. Their value was infinite; once obtained, they could become peerless treasures to be auctioned off.

More than three hundred young Alchemy elites were roaming within, fighting over various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Although some of these Alchemy prodigies had not seized any pill formula light spheres, things did not end there. On the contrary, they hoped to enter the Pill Ruins Ancient World, to once more compete, or to obtain some especially rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and trade with those who possessed multiple pill formulas.

"Nine-colored Soul Reviving Grass, Seven-day Heavenly Fruit, Blood Dripper..."

In the Pill Ruins Ancient World, miserably defeated and declined, the blue sky and green earth lost, everything dim and gloomy, Ye Chen stood upon the largest central head of the Nine-headed Giant Snake. His eyesight was astonishing, spotting one Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure after another, any of which outside would rank among the most rare. Even placed upon the Ultimate Ancient Road, they would be seized over by a swarm of Heavenly Pride elites, yet here in the Pill Ruins Ancient World they were commonplace.

He could not help but sigh at the wealth and extravagance of the Pill Emperor Clan. Only such a peerless Emperor Clan, the number one Alchemy force, could possess so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasures. Any other force would absolutely be unable to achieve this.

The Nine-headed Giant Snake counted as an Overlord-level existence within the Pill Ruins Ancient World. Being at the Great Power Realm was strong enough in itself, and it also possessed Primordial Bloodline. Even the Great Powers of the Pill Emperor Clan would get a headache upon encountering it; it was one of the Great Evils guarding the Pill Ruins Ancient World. Unfortunately, it had run into the monstrously abnormal Ye Chen who defied all common sense, and everything changed.

As the Overlord of the Pill Ruins Ancient World, the Nine-headed Giant Snake naturally knew plenty of information. It also knew where the truly rare Medicine Spirits were, or the locations of medicinal materials used to refine the God King Pill and other pill formulas.

Standing atop the Nine-headed Giant Snake, Ye Chen sped toward the deepest part of the Pill Ruins Ancient World. From what he understood, there lay the three main ingredients needed to refine the God King Pill. It was also close to the Land of Origin of the world, the place with the greatest number of Medicine Spirits, bar none.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Under Ye Chen’s direction, the Nine-headed Giant Snake increased its speed, rushing toward the deepest region of the Pill Ruins Ancient World. Along the way they encountered one powerful figure after another, among whom there was no lack of Great Power Level beings, which made Ye Chen a little surprised.

Since when had so many Great Power Level existences appeared among those Alchemy elites? Could it be that stepping into the Great Power Realm was truly that easy?

Yet upon closer inspection, he found that they were basically not of the younger generation. On the contrary, many were Great Powers of the old generation, aged to the extreme, each having cultivated for at least ten thousand years, some even for several tens of thousands, their Dao profound. They followed behind one young Alchemy elite after another, charging for the deepest region.

Very soon, he understood the truth of the matter, and his expression immediately sank slightly.

Because these Ancient Great Powers had all been hired as helpers by those young Alchemy elites. They knew that their own Alchemy talent was not weak, but aside from a very few, the others had their Cultivation restricted to the Heavenly King Realm. If they wanted to vie for sufficiently good Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and even Medicine Spirits within the Pill Ruins Ancient World, they had to hire helpers strong enough to aid them.

Without a doubt, these Ancient Great Powers were the best helpers.

Naturally, in order to hire Ancient Great Powers as support, these Alchemy elites had paid a tremendous price.

Ye Chen’s expression tightened slightly. With these Ancient Great Powers, even for him, seizing sufficiently rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and even Medicine Spirits would become much more difficult.

But he quickly regained his indifference. Even with these Ancient Great Powers, so what? If they dared to block his path—if gods blocked, he would slay gods; if buddhas blocked, he would slay buddhas!
