Boom—
The trident was detonated. This Immortal Ancient Weapon of the Undying Great Sage was ignited and burned by Ye Chen, its internal divine energy completely combusted, erupting with boundless divine radiance.
A world-shaking fluctuation erupted, sweeping through the endless starry sky, affecting who knows how many tens of thousands of li, shining billions of times brighter than the heavenly sun in the sky, illuminating the entire Human Sovereign's State.
The terrifying might, accompanied by the earth-shattering roar, could even be felt across most of the central Myriad Domains.
"He's insane!"
Upon seeing the blinding pillar of fire that affected the entire starfield, even the ancient Great Sages couldn't help but change color in shock, cursing aloud.
Everyone else immediately rushed out, fleeing with all their might, as fast as they could, putting as much distance as possible between themselves and the explosion zone.
Faced with the vast destructive power of the exploding Immortal Ancient Weapon, even a Heavenly King would be annihilated, reduced to ashes, if they were the slightest bit careless.
The Great Powers engaged in the battle quickly retreated into the distance. The War King and others were also taken away by the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, avoiding the most dangerous effects.
Confronted with this boundless, terrifying destructive force, not to mention others, even the ancient Great Sages felt a lingering fear.
Too crazy, simply a madman.
That was an Immortal Ancient Weapon being detonated. Its destructive power, while perhaps not quite matching the self-detonation of a true ancient Great Sage, was not far off—a true cataclysm capable of destroying heaven and earth, annihilating everything.
If it had exploded within a dimensional world like the Tian Du Continent, it might very well have buried the entire continent in ruin.
Especially since the Assassin Venerable was right in the middle of it, completely submerged and covered by the boundless destructive force of the Immortal Ancient Weapon's explosion—the very epicenter. Even an ancient Great Sage would feel their scalp go numb seeing it.
One could imagine the Assassin Venerable's fate; it was likely dire.
From within the endless flames, a figure shot out. His entire body was charred black, his golden blood scorched, covered in wounds. It was none other than the instigator, the Battle Saint. Even a powerful physique like the Battle Sacred Body could not emerge completely unscathed.
Yet he still stood firm in that patch of starry sky, gazing coldly at the explosion point, causing many Great Powers to suddenly feel a chill.
Too ruthless!
The Battle Saint King was not only domineering but also ruthless—ruthless towards his enemies, and equally ruthless towards himself.
At the explosion's center, the endless flames gradually dissipated. This vast starfield had been directly flattened. Star after star had been completely annihilated and disintegrated, leaving nothing behind. It was shocking.
There, a figure fell from the sky, reduced to a piece of charcoal, its true appearance unrecognizable. One could even see that its limbs were incomplete as it plummeted down.
A faint, weak aura rippled from it—it was the Assassin Venerable. He was still alive, not killed, but hanging by a thread, barely able to even repair his wounded body.
Clearly, his divine soul had suffered a severe, terrifying injury.
For a renowned generation's Assassin Venerable to end up like this was truly lamentable.
Ye Chen charged over. Though covered in blood, his killing intent remained extremely violent, capable of annihilating everything. The Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd appeared in his hand. He was about to strike, to deliver the final blow and completely kill the Assassin Venerable.
On the other side, Qin Ye and several other Great Powers changed expression. They could not allow Ye Chen to kill the Assassin Venerable; otherwise, their own situation would become even more difficult.
Boom—
From behind, six ancient Great Sages led by the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord descended, spanning the starry sky like one immortal divine peak after another, blocking their path.
"You—" The four ancient Great Sages from the Qin Family, Ying Family, and others were both shocked and furious.
"Do you wish to die?" These were the words of the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, spoken with indifference, looking down upon the myriad realms as he coldly regarded the four ancient Great Sages, infuriating them all. Yet, sensing the vast divine might emanating from him, they couldn't help but pale.
Behind him, ancient Great Sages like the Nine Void Divine King and Xia Zhidi also looked down from on high, coldly sweeping their gazes over these ancient Great Sages, clearly having the impulse to act.
"Ah—"
At that moment, a shrill, miserable scream rang out. The Assassin Venerable's charcoal-like body was torn apart by the Battle Saint King, flesh and blood scattering. A blazing bloody light shot forth, flooding the entire starfield, sweeping across who knows how many li.
This scene made everyone's scalps tingle. Could it be that today would witness the shocking event of a Great Power being slaughtered? And by a Heavenly King slaying an ancient Great Power in reverse!
But clearly, the vitality of an ancient Great Sage was unimaginably tenacious. The Assassin Venerable's divine soul roared, escaping. It reassembled a physical body in the distant sky, though at a great cost—a loss of origin.
He wanted to flee at extreme speed, to leave this starfield, to return to the Assassin God Hall to recuperate.
Boom—
Here, the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord made his move. With a single step, the entire starry sky trembled violently. The Assassin Venerable, hidden in the void preparing to flee far away, was forcibly shaken out, unable to conceal himself.
Ye Chen roared. Rolling golden blood energy erupted from every pore of his body as he fully revived. Primordial Chaos Qi surged tumultuously.
The Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd appeared in his hand. It was not revived, yet it was entwined with Primordial Chaos Qi and infused with his own killing intent, sharpened to the extreme. He directly hurled it, transforming it into a dazzling golden light that pierced through heaven and earth.
"No!" The Assassin Venerable cried out in horror, fully able to sense the destructive power of this halberd strike. He urgently tried to flee, to evade it.
But the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd was too fast, allowing no time for evasion, surpassing normal reason. It shattered the physical body the Assassin Venerable had painstakingly reassembled once more, and even nailed his divine soul in place within that void.
The ultimate killing intent contained within erupted, sweeping through the starry sky, vast and boundless, terrifying beyond measure, causing the Great Powers of the myriad realms to feel their hearts palpitate.
Such a fearsome killing intent! Even the other ancient Great Sages felt that if they were the ones nailed, even if they didn't die, they would suffer severe, terrifying injuries.
Boom—
The Assassin Venerable's divine soul exploded, shattered into pieces, transforming into a vast shower of brilliant light rain in the starry sky, scattering in all directions.
Had a Great Power fallen?
Many stared dumbfounded at this scene, unable to believe it. A renowned generation's Assassin Venerable, famous throughout the myriad realms for so many years, a being that made the Great Powers of the myriad realms feel wary, even terrified—had he been killed and fallen just like this? And by a rising star of the younger generation. It was shocking.
However, the various powerhouses noticed that the light rain did not dissipate. Instead, it scattered to the six directions and eight extremes, fleeing towards the farthest distances.
The Assassin Venerable had not been completely exterminated. His vitality was incredibly tenacious; even with his divine soul torn apart and blasted apart, it was still so. Ye Chen's killing intent was bone-chilling. He was just about to strike again when the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord sent a voice transmission: "Qian Yue, enough. Know when to stop."
Ye Chen was at the peak of his killing intent. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be taken aback. "Gate Lord, why?"
"The Human Sovereign!" The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord merely uttered these two words lightly, instantly pouring like a bucket of ice water over Ye Chen from head to toe, extinguishing his killing intent on the spot.
