Boom—
A Heavenly King had fallen, his essence refined into a brilliant Heavenly King Blood Pill that shimmered with a tragic, resplendent crimson light.
The Battle Saint King was truly ferocious, powerful and peerless, having slain the third Heavenly King so swiftly.
The world sighed in amazement. The Holy Domain's Master Qian's combat power truly exceeded everyone's imagination. Facing thirteen Heavenly Kings, he had still managed to eradicate three of them.
One must remember, these were Heavenly Kings, not ordinary individuals. Yet before the Battle Saint King, they were no different from chicks, easily wiped out.
Within the Imperial City, the experts of the Holy Domain cheered one after another. The stronger their master, Ye Chen, became, the more invigorated they felt. They were connected by the same lineage; no one wished for Ye Chen to be weak. The stronger, the better.
With three Heavenly Kings slain in succession, the remaining ten Heavenly Kings all turned pale, sensing impending doom.
But this stretch of heaven and earth was sealed, destined to be inescapable.
Boom—
Within the sky and earth refined and sealed by Ye Chen's myriad divine radiances, crimson light shot into the heavens, mingled with ten thousand layers of thunder and lightning, accompanied by scenes of heaven collapsing and earth rending, heralding the demise of yet another Heavenly King.
The fourth Heavenly King had fallen.
But this was not the end. On the contrary, it was merely the beginning.
Not long after, crimson light erupted once more.
Subsequently, crimson light flashed for a third time, and various strange phenomena continuously appeared, filling the heavens and earth.
"The invincible Holy Domain's Master has made his move. The Heavenly Kings who dared to attack are destined to be slain."
"No need to think further. Those who dared to assault the Holy Domain's Master Qian can only end up staining the Ancient Emperor Realm with their blood."
"A pity and a lament. Those were Heavenly Kings! Before the Great Change of the Heavens and Earth, it was difficult to see even one emerge. Now so many have appeared, all to deal with the Holy Domain's Master Qian, yet the final result is only their execution. How tragic."
"No matter how powerful these Heavenly Kings are, in the end, they merely become units of combat power for the Holy Domain's Master Qian. He is too strong. I suspect even if an ancient Great Sage were to strike, they might not be able to kill him."
The world sighed, and even more people were stunned. Even though the Great Change of the Heavens and Earth had begun, this scene was destined to be recorded in the annals of history. For there was a person who, without reaching the Heavenly King Realm, slaughtered Heavenly Kings—more than a dozen of them—an event that could be considered unprecedented in all of history.
In the distance, the Immortal True Kings remained silent. Immortal auras emanated from their bodies, concealing their expressions from the world, but they were clearly complex.
They had achieved the Tenth Heaven and attained the Heavenly King Realm, surpassing their past selves, possessing the peerless bearing to contend for the Emperor's throne. Yet now it seemed there was still such a terrifying individual, making them feel they could hardly match him even now.
Especially since he had not truly stepped into the Heavenly King Realm.
What did this signify?
Boom—
Another surge of overwhelming crimson light tore through the heavens, but the world had already grown numb, for the outcome was long predetermined. The Holy Domain's Master Qian was invincible. Who could rival him?
In the time that followed, one Heavenly King after another was successively blasted apart, slain, and fell, accompanied by astonishing bloodshed and chaos, cementing Ye Chen's invincible reputation.
Even the Five Divine Kings and the old knight from the Divine Realm, witnessing this scene, sighed deeply, feeling this young man was excessively powerful and still so young.
Especially the old knight. Their last meeting was merely a few decades ago, when the other had just entered the Saint Treasury Realm. Yet upon meeting again, he had reached such a level. His cultivation speed could be called rare throughout the ages.
Even in the glorious and prosperous Mythical Era, he would undoubtedly rank among the top.
Boom—
Following the final earth-shattering roar, all thirteen Heavenly Kings had fallen, their vital energy extinguished, perishing above the Imperial City.
The world sighed as one. United, these Heavenly Kings would have been invincible in the world. Below the Great Powers, they should have had no match. But alas, they encountered the Battle Saint King, and everything became fleeting smoke.
Everyone was shaken to their core. In this Great Era, how many more such figures could be found?
The sealed firmament was released. In the heavens, a heroic figure strode forth, black hair cascading, his battle armor stained with blood—all belonging to the thirteen Heavenly Kings, not a single drop his own.
Around him was the divine halo of the Tenth Heaven, condensed into an immortal divine halo that enveloped him, setting him off as supremely divine and sacred. Every strand of his hair shimmered with immortal radiance, as if a supreme Immortal King had descended to the mortal realm, surveying the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths with no rival in sight.
Although Ye Chen had successively refined Heavenly King Blood Pills, some Heavenly Kings possessed violent temperaments, unwilling to be slain by Ye Chen and hoping to drag him down with them. They self-detonated, their blood energy still lingering around the Imperial City, filling the air with the scent of blood.
Ye Chen let out a soft shout, manifesting boundless light that instantly covered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, thoroughly purifying everything.
Although the thirteen Heavenly Kings had fallen, the Ancient Divine Palace Master had escaped. During Ye Chen's slaughter of the thirteen Heavenly Kings, the other had ultimately pierced through the blockade of the ocean of Faith Power and departed with the divine ship.
"A pity," Ye Chen sighed softly. That was a truly formidable figure to be wary of; even someone as powerful as himself, in a true battle, dared not claim he could steadily kill the other.
After all, the other was a figure who had achieved the Heavenly King Realm many years ago, possibly even a high-level Heavenly King, requiring the Holy Domain's vigilance.
Of course, it was merely vigilance, not fear.
Simultaneously, the other Immortal True Kings departed one by one, none making a move against Ye Chen.
If this had happened in the past, the world would surely have been shaken, for thirteen Heavenly Kings were slain within a single day—something as unbelievable as a fantasy tale.
But not now. For the Great Change of the Heavens and Earth had arrived, the most fearsome change throughout the ages, occurring within the Ancient Emperor Realm.
After slaying the thirteen Heavenly Kings, Ye Chen returned to the Central Heavenly Palace and had everyone else enter the Holy Domain hall. Boundless Faith Power surged, no longer covering the Imperial City nor sealing it, but merely flooding all areas of the Holy Domain hall, entering seclusion.
The Great Change of the Heavens and Earth had brought Great Powers from throughout the ages, and not just one or two, but more than a dozen—a number beyond imagination. Throughout the ages, even across the myriad realms, there had likely been few gatherings of so many ancient Great Sages.
Their actions would surely shake heaven and earth. Ye Chen needed to prepare all defenses, arranging them within the Imperial City.
The Central Imperial City possessed the aura of the Dao, making it the safest place.
Finally, only Ye Chen emerged alone, sitting cross-legged above the Imperial City, silently waiting.
Within his body, the portal to the Ancient Orchid Great World flickered faintly, ready to erupt with vast world power at any moment. Between his brows surged turbulent Faith Power and a special power of wishes, all merging into his body.
This time, he intended to participate in the eternal chess game of impacting the Profound Gate. For he had a premonition that within that land hailed as connecting to heaven, spirits, the profound, and all ages—the land of creation—he might obtain answers to questions that had long puzzled him. Perhaps he could once again meet his future self.
Boom—
In the starry sky, the gate of light shattered, about to break open!
