Three Months
With this simple movement, the entire Divine Kingdom Universe behind him contracted violently!
The Life-and-Death Millstone in the Firmament suddenly accelerated, unleashing a terrifying suction and grinding force a billion times greater.
That final, dazzling divine light, which embodied everything about the Crystal Emperor, along with its very essence, was utterly crushed into dust beneath the Millstone before it could even utter a short, mournful cry.
Ultimately, it transformed into an unprecedentedly vast energy, like a celestial river flowing backward, all of it merging into Chen Fan's body.
The entire Divine Kingdom Universe returned to silence.
Chen Fan slowly closed his eyes, carefully sensing the Miniature Universe within his body, the violent evolution and surge in power that occurred after absorbing all the essence of a Late-Ninth Tier emperor.
For a long time.
He opened his eyes and slowly clenched his fist.
A terrifying power, capable of easily crushing the laws of nature, was perfectly condensed in the palm of his hand, without the slightest leakage.
He muttered to himself, his voice carrying a chilling calm and absolute confidence.
"If I were to face Ninth-Tier Peak opponent now..."
"Perhaps, we can kill him too!"
Chen Fan stood in the Void.
He did not leave immediately, but quietly sensed the evolution of the Miniature Universe within his body.
The changes brought about by devouring a complete Late-Ninth Tier emperor were astonishing.
The territory of the Divine Kingdom has expanded by nearly 30%, the speed of star formation and destruction has accelerated, and the Chain of Laws have become increasingly thick and solid.
Before, he was a fisherman waiting for his prey to come to him.
Now, he is to become the king of this Boundary Sea.
A wisp of Divine Thought, like an invisible ripple, spread out from between his brows, no longer deliberately concealed, but carrying an unquestionable will, sweeping domineeringly across the desolate Void spanning billions of miles.
It's like they're surveying their hunting grounds.
For the next three months, Chen Fan transformed into the most ruthless hunter in the Boundary Sea.
He no longer waited passively, but instead used his near-perfect Life-and-Death Dao Resonance as a guide, like a Star burning brightly in the darkness, actively searching for those powerful auras.
On this day, he stopped in front of a huge, floating continental debris.
A violent, fierce, and Primordial Era aura emanated from the depths of the continent.
"Roar!!"
With a roar that shook the Void, a giant ape covered in long black fur and standing tens of thousands of feet tall rose from the depths of the continent.
Its eyes were blood-red, and its body was engulfed in black demonic flames of law. Its aura was so strong that it was a terrifying existence comparable to the Late-Ninth Tier.
Primordial Demon Ape!
It sensed Chen Fan's aura, an irresistible fragrance of medicinal herbs.
Without any further probing, the Demon Ape roared and swung its fist, which was larger than Stars. The burning demonic Void distorted and collapsed the void as it smashed down on Chen Fan.
Faced with this earth-shattering punch, Chen Fan's face remained completely calm.
He didn't even unfold his Divine Kingdom.
He also raised his right fist and threw it forward in a straightforward manner.
On the fist, golden creative power and gray Annihilation power intertwined wildly, and a blurry Life-and-Death Millstone Phantom flashed by.
A clash of laws!
Two disproportionate fists, one large and one small, collided violently in the Void.
Boom!!
In an instant, billions of destructive shockwaves exploded in a ring, instantly turning the continental debris below, comparable to a life-bearing planet, into Cosmic Dust. The Asteroid Belt within millions of miles was also swept away by the aftershocks.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The Primordial Demon Ape's ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic body was actually forced back three steps by this punch, each step creating large cracks in the Void.
Its giant fist, burning with demonic flames, was a bloody mess, dripping with black demonic blood, but Annihilation Dao Principles.
"Roar!"
The excruciating pain and horror drove the Demon Ape into a complete frenzy.
It pounded its chest frantically, emitting a deafening roar, and beams of demonic flames containing the laws of destruction and rage, like a dense meteor shower, bombarded Chen Fan from all directions.
Chen Fan neither dodged nor evaded, his figure weaving through the Law Storm as if strolling leisurely.
He abandoned his supernatural powers and chose the most primitive method, engaging in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Primordial Demon Ape for over a hundred rounds.
Every punch lands hard, a clash of Dao Principles.
Each exchange of fire felt like a supernova exploding at close range.
Finally, after figuring out all of the other party's tactics, the last trace of interest in Chen Fan's eyes disappeared.
"It's over."
He no longer held back, and the Divine Kingdom in the Palm behind him, encompassing the birth and death of stars, suddenly unfolded.
As if sensing something, the Primordial Demon Ape let out a deafening roar of unwillingness, gathering all its power into its fists and launching its final and strongest death throes attack.
However, these two fist strikes, which were enough to severely injure any Late-Ninth Tier martial artist, vanished the moment they Divine Kingdom Universe, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
Above the Firmament, a colossal Life-and-Death Millstone suddenly appeared and began to slowly rotate.
In the terrified and desperate gaze of the Demon Ape, its enormous body was forcibly absorbed by an irresistible force, along with its Dao Fruit, Life-and-Death Dao Principles, turning into the purest Origin Source energy, all of which flowed into the Divine Kingdom.
Starting with this battle, Chen Fan unleashed a bloody storm that lasted for three months in the Boundary Sea.
He was like a tireless god of slaughter, actively seeking out powerful World Beasts and lone Alien Races emperors.
There are no fewer than five Late-Ninth Tier beings who have fallen at his hands.
His Divine Kingdom in the Palm evolved rapidly amidst this frenzied slaughter and devouring. Its internal Star System structure became increasingly stable, and its laws became increasingly perfect. It was only one final step away from becoming a true universe.
Three months later.
Chen Fan stood in a completely desolate Star Domain, surrounded by the remains of several emperors and World Beasts whose Origin Source had been drained.
He slowly closed his eyes, and could clearly feel that the power within his body had reached a certain saturation.
An impenetrable, transparent barrier stands in his path of Martial Dao.
He understood that ordinary Late-Ninth Tier Origin Source could no longer provide him with the resources for that final push.
It must be... an even stronger being!
Just as he was pondering how to take this final step...
A sudden and unexpected change has occurred!
Buzz!!
The boundless, ancient, and deathly silent Boundary Sea beneath our feet suddenly began to tremble violently without warning!
This is neither a regional energy fluctuation nor a clash of laws between some powerful beings.
Rather, it was the entire Boundary Sea, this vast, Lawless Land constructed from countless cosmic remnants, whose very existence was boundless, that, at this moment, its very foundation roared and churned under unbearable pressure!
Rumble!
Countless massive continental debris floating in the Void, like lone boats on a raging sea, began to collide wildly.
The Law Turbulence, dormant for countless epochs, transformed into a terrifying storm sweeping across the heavens and earth, easily tearing apart the physical bodies of Eighth-Order powerhouses.
