Boom—
All living beings trembled. A shocking change occurred beyond the heavens. The aura of Great Powers surged through the endless starry sky as one supreme ancient Great Sage after another descended. Vast divine radiance illuminated the entire extraterrestrial starry realm, causing the stars of the myriad heavens to quake.
"How could this be!?" The Great Powers of the Qin family, the Ying family, and others all lost color in their faces.
This was a startling turn of events. In a fierce battle they had thought was in the bag, the situation transformed in less than a moment.
Behind the Battle Saint King and the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, one ancient Great Sage after another descended, wreathed in immortal supreme laws, their divine brilliance surging, all wantonly released, shaking the entire starry sky.
Including the two of them, this side now had a full seven ancient Great Sages, drawing gasps from everyone.
The change was too fast, too sudden, so much so that the Great Powers on the Qin and Ying family side hadn't even fully made their move before this happened.
"Xia Zhidi, the newly advanced Great Power of the Flame God Sacred Land; the Nine Void Divine King and the Xuan Ri Divine King from the Ancient Emperor Realm..." Looking at the five ancient Great Sages who had suddenly appeared, the five ancient Great Sages on the Qin and Ying family side looked as if they had swallowed a dead child, their expressions as ugly as could be.
A full five ancient Great Sages! They had all come at once to aid the Battle Saint King and the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, already giving them an almost absolute advantage.
"Weren't you the ones who wanted to bully the few with numbers? Come on then!" Ye Chen held a trident in his hand, pointing it at them from afar, looking down with disdain, extremely forceful.
Bully the few with numbers?
Sorry, now it's us bullying you with numbers.
In the starry sky, the War King who had followed them out laughed heartily, his black hair flying, shedding his previous helplessness and misery, appearing sharp and imposing. He turned his gaze to the experts of the Qin and Ying families with a mocking look.
On the opposite side, many people's faces were ashen, extremely ugly.
Such a shocking change in the extraterrestrial battlefield caused the five Great Powers on this side to change expression. They hadn't expected the Battle Saint King and the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord to be so heaven-defying, summoning five ancient Great Sages to assist.
One extra was already immense pressure, let alone two.
"Kill!"
At Ye Chen's great shout, the full seven Great Power-level experts on this side all took action, directly killing until the starry sky collapsed. Endless divine radiance flashed, shaking the star domains of the myriad heavens, alarming experts throughout the entire Human Sovereign State below, and even other great states, causing them to look up at the sky.
The dark starry sky became as bright as day, filled everywhere with boundless destructive divine energy, as if it would directly shatter and annihilate the stars of the myriad heavens.
Boom—
The star domain collapsed drastically, boundless divine energy wantonly erupting, annihilating vast swathes of the starry sky, terrifying beyond description.
A Great Power-level group battle raged, more intense than ever before.
The whole world was shocked. Throughout ancient and modern times, how many Great Power-level confrontations could one witness, let alone a group battle involving a full dozen-plus ancient Great Sages? It was extremely rare, countable on one hand.
In the distant sky, the Saint Feather Venerable One of the Angel race and the Ye family Great Power were shaking their heads. They had long advised these Great Powers to show mercy where possible. They knew the situation on the Battle Saint King's side. Now, weren't they just asking for a beating?
Among them, the Flame God Venerable One laughed heartily. There was also the Dragon Phoenix Academy Head, the Myriad Realms Academy Head, the Myriad Gods Palace Lord, and some other ancient Great Sages acquainted with the Battle Saint King. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but sigh. This young generation's supreme had finally grown up, able to look down upon the myriad heavens, challenge imperial clans, and stand at the pinnacle of the younger generation. How many could compare with him?
The Taichu Great Power was also present. He did not take action because he knew all this, but if the Battle Saint King faced a crisis, he would certainly intervene.
There were not few Great Powers here. Other ancient Great Sages arrived one after another, all summoned by the Supreme Human Sovereign to participate in the discussions. Basically, all Great Powers who weren't in complete seclusion or sealed away had come, making it an unprecedented peak gathering of Great Powers.
Just looking at the starry sky, there were over thirty. Usually, ancient Great Sages were hard to come by, yet so many had appeared at once today.
But no other ancient Great Sages intervened, as none were willing to invite trouble. Some ancient Great Sages were also happy to see the Qin and Ying family Great Powers suffer a loss.
Boom—
Accompanied by endless brilliant light surging, five figures among them were sent flying, rapidly retreating through the starry sky, with terrifying laws constantly erupting, tearing the starry sky apart.
Those were the five ancient Great Sages on the Qin and Ying family side. The battle hadn't lasted long before a decline in their momentum appeared.
This was unavoidable. After all, seven ancient Great Sages were attacking, holding an absolute advantage, almost completely suppressing them.
Even Ye Chen, the youngest among them, was extremely forceful. The world portal within his body opened, with majestic world power continuously surging forth. Faith power elevated his divine soul, and wish power condensed, pushing his combat power to its limit. It could be said he was already not inferior to a true ancient Great Sage.
He attacked, wielding a Great Power-level trident. It was the immortal ancient weapon of the Undying Great Sage, obtained by him, repaired, and fully revived, displaying Great Power-level might as he cleaved forward.
Boom—
The most brilliant light exploded, shaking heaven and earth, surging for who knows how many tens of thousands of li, directly turning the stars in this vast star domain to dust, terrifying beyond description.
"You're seeking death!"
On the other side, among the five Great Powers, Qin Yi and Ying Gu were furious. Moreover, they were very strong, belonging to the ranks of imperial clan Great Powers, stronger than ordinary Great Powers. Wreathed in brilliant light, beams blazing to illuminate the world, they charged over, wanting to carve out a clear realm.
But the seven ancient Great Sages on Ye Chen's side were equally terrifying. Joining forces, they pressed down, repelling them, causing blood to trickle from the corners of the two imperial clan Great Powers' mouths.
To a certain extent, Qin Ye could also be considered an imperial clan Great Power, because his clan was in no way inferior to an imperial clan due to their ancestor's origins.
"I'll deal with him!"
Among them, the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord spoke, pointing at the Ying family Great Power Ying Gu, and took action. He sliced through the long sky, forcibly splitting the battlefield, taking Ying Gu with him into another battlefield.
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord was extraordinary. His heroic bearing overshadowed the world, his figure majestic. In his hand appeared the Heavenly Gate's ancestral weapon, Flowing Waterfall, cascading with billions of layers of sword energy. Alone, he confronted Ying Gu, this famous imperial clan Great Power, in an extremely fierce battle.
Ying Gu wore dragon robe armor, noble and imposing, a born imperial clan member with great majesty that seemed to make all living beings of the myriad heavens submit completely.
This clan was extraordinary. Not only were they an imperial clan, but their ancestor was also a true Emperor Sovereign from the Mythical Era—the First Emperor of Qin, who had once unified the Mythical Era, ruling over an era of extreme glory, born with unparalleled imperial clan majesty.
Ying Gu also wielded a peerless divine sword, striding forward, charging over with a cold snort: "A mere newly advanced Great Power dares to fight this lord? Today, you shall be executed!"
He shouted, his whole body shining with immeasurable light, with Imperial Dragon Qi rising. A full ninety-nine heavenly dragons soared, filling the entire vast starry sky.
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord stood there like an immortal divine mountain, towering and unshakable. In his eyes, the energies of life and death flowed and bloomed, representing his Great Dao of Life and Death.
Facing the imperial clan Great Power Ying Gu's killing move, he walked forward step by step, calm in expression, treading the void as if ascending stairs. Yet his attacks were like those of a supreme Emperor Sovereign, striking toward Ying Gu.
Boom—
That area of starry sky directly collapsed completely, heading toward total destruction.
The two clashed fiercely. Although the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord was young and newly advanced, anyone who participated in that battle in the Ancient Emperor Realm knew he was an extremely extraordinary figure. Even the Great Saint Emperor had said his origins were great, possibly a participant in the Mythical War, not to be measured by common sense.
In that battle, he alone had pushed back three ancient Great Sages—the Undying Great Sage, the Sun God Dynasty, and the Dark Night Ancient Hall—and killed them, leaving their divine souls for Ye Chen.
If Ying Gu knew of that level of combat power, he would likely be many times more wary, for that was a peerless Great Power, not an ordinary one.
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord held Flowing Waterfall, meeting sword with sword. With a mere gesture, he cleaved out billions of layers of sword rays, spanning the boundless starry sky, annihilating everything, shattering the vast star domain.
Moreover, his Great Dao of Life and Death transformed into a Taiji diagram. One side contained endless vitality, as if nurturing a great world where myriad spirits were born, full of life.
The other side was brimming with death energy, with a vast underworld spanning billions of li, burying who knows how many living beings, all with bleached white bones.
Life and death intertwined and merged, surging through all directions, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, possessing unfathomable power capable of annihilating and shattering everything.
Ying Gu displayed the divine abilities of the Ying imperial clan. Imperial Dragon Qi roared, and an Emperor Sovereign's war chariot appeared, accompanied by endless phantom armies, billions upon billions, conjured by divine abilities yet terrifyingly immeasurable.
He was like a divine kingdom's imperial lord, seated on the Emperor Sovereign's war chariot, commanding billions of troops. Battle energy shattered the heavens, blood energy pierced the Milky Way, sweeping across—an extremely shocking scene, incomparable.
The vast billions-strong army charged with Great Power Ying Gu, swarming over, flooding the starry sky, confronting the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord.
It could be said this was an extraordinary divine ability. With the battle intent of billions of troops added to his body, he became terrifyingly more powerful in an instant.
"Myriad Worlds Eternal Immortals!"
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord displayed the supreme divine ability of the most ancient Heavenly Emperor from legend. One immortal after another appeared, a vast immortal realm descended, accompanied by endless immortal light and also vast, brilliant immortal rain scattering, charging forward, possessing unfathomable supreme power that could make the stars of the myriad heavens dim and perish.
Boom—
The two sides collided, how earth-shattering it was, as if about to shatter everything.
Billions of troops confronted the immortal phantoms of the myriad heavens!
Everything was in a state of great destruction, extremely intense. Within it, Ying Gu himself was sent flying, continuously retreating through the starry sky, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood that stained his dragon robe armor. His Imperial Dragon Qi was forcibly diminished considerably.
Ying Gu was horrified. In a head-on battle, he was actually no match for this later, newly advanced ancient Great Sage. This made him feel disbelief, too incredible.
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord's expression remained unchanged, as if always calm and unperturbed, natural in demeanor. He continued to attack, but pressed down on Ying Gu, constantly striking, divine light boiling, annihilating everything.
It could be seen that during the confrontation, Ying Gu began to cough blood. This imperial clan Great Power, famous throughout the ages, showed decline, at a disadvantage, as if about to be suppressed at any moment.
In another battlefield, six ancient Great Sages besieged four ancient Great Sages, the battle even more intense.
Even with an imperial clan Great Power like Qin Ye present, it was difficult to change much, unless a peerless Great Power like the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord appeared.
Ye Chen strode forward, his expression icy, wreathed in chaotic ancient energy. He charged toward that Great Power clad in underworld iron armor, his expression dark, cold, and fearsome, filled with killing intent.
Because this ancient Great Sage had once participated in the operation to besiege his master, Gu Yuntong. He was an absolutely unforgivable enemy who must be killed.
He swung the trident, angrily cleaving at his opponent.
"The Undying Trident?"
That person was greatly startled, recognizing this trident—it belonged to the Undying Great Sage.
"Correct, it's the Undying Venerable One's trident. He has already been executed. Now it's your turn." Ye Chen spoke coldly. The other party was startled, clearly unaware of the news of the Undying Great Sage's execution.
Too much news from the Ancient Emperor Realm hadn't spread. Many Great Powers weren't even clear about what happened there.
Ye Chen swung the trident, cleaving over, tearing the void, annihilating the endless starry sky.
"Battle Saint King, a junior like you relying on external forces to improve dares to confront this lord head-on? Truly laughable."
The Great Power clad in divine vessel underworld iron armor came from the supreme Sacred Land, the Assassin God Hall, titled the Slaughter Venerable. His entire body was covered in black underworld iron armor, only his head exposed. He looked young, but his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of having lived for tens of thousands of years—an old monster, also extremely terrifyingly powerful, not to be underestimated, fearsome and boundless.
He directly met the blow head-on, fearless, colliding to produce brilliant sparks like terrifying meteors.
Ye Chen's expression was icy, the trident pointing from afar, killing intent intense, with a cold snort: "Today, you shall be executed!"
"With just you? Back then, when your master Gu Yuntong fell, I personally pierced his divine soul."
The Slaughter Venerable let out a cold laugh. In his hand was a pitch-black war spear, appearing sinister and fearsome, and he possessed a special secret technique allowing him to merge with heaven and earth at any time.
Boom—
Ye Chen flew into a rage. His master Gu Yuntong's fall had always been a regret for him, and he very much wanted to kill the several ancient Great Sages who acted back then.
Moreover, in the past, he had only occasionally witnessed a corner of the time when his master fell. Now, hearing his enemy personally mention that battle from back then, that despicable ambush, he couldn't help but rage, charging over, the Undying Trident erupting, fighting without regard for cost.
Whoosh—
The Slaughter Venerable let out a cold laugh, his entire person vanishing into nothingness, his aura completely disappearing, everything dissipating into formlessness.
Ye Chen pounced into empty air, frowning, but couldn't find the Slaughter Venerable's figure. The other party had mastered a supreme invisibility secret art.
Right behind him, a pitch-black, profound long spear silently thrust toward the back of his head, containing ultimate laws capable of annihilating the divine soul.
