"That's right, I am a Battle Saint. My name is Battle Saint King!"
Ye Chen's voice boomed like thunder, resounding throughout the entire ancient city and causing a city-wide tremor.
"A Battle Saint!?"
As these words fell, countless gazes immediately turned towards the heroic young man bathed in dazzling golden radiance, making him the center of attention.
It could be seen that many people within the city seemed momentarily dazed, as if lost in recollection.
Especially the Ancient Xun King, whose expression drastically changed as he instantly recalled the mentions of this supreme lineage by the ancient existences within his clan. Each mention was accompanied by unparalleled dread.
In the previous epoch, this lineage had given birth to a being who could be called supremely great—the invincible progenitor of the Battle Saint Lineage, hailed as the Battle Saint Ancestor, also known as the Battle Saint Sovereign, an invincible Emperor.
His emergence and his attainment of the Dao had thoroughly spread the fame of the Battle Saint Lineage far and wide, not just within the Sealed Boundary Universe, but also across the Alien Race Universe, the Primordial Immortal Realm, and other ancient universes, where his might was renowned.
Because the progenitor of this lineage, the Battle Saint Ancestor, was a terrifying existence who had once slain Emperors and Sovereigns, regarded as one of the most powerful Emperors throughout history. Even the Primogenitor, who held a supreme position among the alien race, was deeply wary of him.
Moreover, this lineage was too powerful, too extraordinary. Not only did it produce a Battle Saint Ancestor, but even his great disciple, the Sovereign of Formlessness, was astonishingly brilliant, hailed as the strongest beneath Emperors, an invincible existence who, though not an Emperor, could contend with Emperors in battle.
It could be said that the existence of this lineage had once made the alien race pay a heavy price. Even during the Great Mythical Destruction War, it had caused countless great clans of the alien race to be on edge, terrified at the mere mention of its name. It was the most powerful inheritance lineage of the Sealed Boundary Universe.
To eradicate this lineage, the alien race had paid the heaviest price, with even Emperors falling, and casualties beneath the Emperor rank too numerous to count. The cost was immense.
It was just unexpected that it hadn't been truly eradicated, and now a human genius of this lineage had embarked on the path, arriving at the Fifth Trial Continent and appearing here.
No wonder he was so powerful. No wonder he could block him. So he was an inheritor of this lineage.
The Battle Saint Lineage could indeed be called a taboo lineage, possessing the peerless Battle Saint Body. This indestructible battle physique, forged in later cultivation, had caused the alien race great losses.
The Ancient Xun King's expression suddenly became incomparably wary, far more so than before—a wariness directed at this lineage.
Many people in the ancient city exclaimed in shock and astonishment.
Although an inheritor of this lineage had appeared only after a full epoch had passed, no one would forget the glory of this lineage.
Because in the previous epoch, the Battle Saints of this lineage had once shone with boundless radiance on the Ultimate Ancient Path.
It could be said that any inheritor of this lineage who set foot on the Ultimate Ancient Path would achieve sufficiently glorious battle records.
Especially that peerless Qin Wuxiang, who was a world-shaking Great Demon God. Alone, he had slaughtered his way through the Ultimate Ancient Path, forcing the strongest geniuses from various ancient universes along the entire path to retreat in terror. He had made the many strongest geniuses of the alien race who embarked on the Ultimate Ancient Path in that era pay an extremely tragic price, with countless dead and wounded.
It was utterly unexpected that now another young genius of this lineage had embarked on the path, and was so powerful. Could this be the birth of another Sovereign of Formlessness?
Many people felt an inexplicable sense of unreality.
"An inheritor of the Battle Saint Lineage?" The Ancient Xun King's expression then turned icy cold as he sneered, "So what if you are an inheritor of this lineage? No matter how supremely powerful it was in the past, wasn't it still destroyed by our world? The Battle Saint Ancestor fell, and the Sovereign of Formlessness was also killed by our world's schemes. Even if someone from this lineage has managed to survive and carry on the inheritance, so what? Today, this king will thoroughly eradicate this lineage."
Boom—
He launched a fierce attack. Darkness radiance surged in countless layers, accompanied by boundless alien race laws. Furthermore, one prehistoric ferocious beast after another continuously charged out, pouncing forward, terrifying and immeasurable.
Moreover, the fourteen wings sprouting from his back were incomparably terrifying, constantly fanning. Each fan was accompanied by boundless black hurricanes sweeping forth.
Later on, who knew how many layers of black hurricanes were generated, sweeping through the heavens, tearing through the heavens, driving destructive Great Dao laws that blotted out the sky and earth, seeking to completely shatter and kill Ye Chen.
Furthermore, on the Ancient Xun King's body surface, a full ten halos appeared, flowing with a strange, eerie brilliance, as if connecting to the Alien Race Universe. He was actually a young generation's supreme of the Tenth Heaven.
This was the strongest genius of the alien race. Cultivating in a universe environment with a complete ten heavens, compared to the incomplete nine heavens of the myriad realms, offered a greater chance to reach the great perfection of the Tenth Heaven.
Naturally, even so, not every member of the alien race could reach the Tenth Heaven realm. It required immense opportunity and talent that could astonish all ages. Only one might be born among countless billions of alien race beings, extremely difficult to produce, considered rare throughout history, countable on one's fingers.
Because "nine" was the ultimate, while "ten" surpassed it, representing a heavenly barrier blocking the way, extremely difficult to break through.
Yet the Ancient Xun King was like this, possessing the supremely powerful bloodline of the Alien Emperor Clan, coupled with peerless talent, he had reached this step.
However, it could be seen that the Ancient Xun King's Tenth Heaven was slightly dimmer compared to his other nine heavens.
"A young generation's supreme of the Tenth Heaven has appeared! No wonder he could defeat the city commander. So he's a rare young generation's supreme of past and present."
Within the ancient city, many people exclaimed repeatedly. Although the Battle Saint was formidable, the Tenth Heaven was even more so. Having one more heaven than the ninth heaven, with each breakthrough in major realm, the increase would continuously accumulate, making this superposition even more powerful.
After the Ancient Xun King displayed his Tenth Heaven great perfection cultivation, his strength suddenly increased by a large margin. Laws filled the sky, pouring down to blot out everything, nearly submerging all, shattering this stretch of heaven and earth. The entire ancient city trembled, and the protective city light curtain dimmed considerably.
"This king is of the Tenth Heaven. So what if you are a Battle Saint? How can you fight against this king?"
The Ancient Xun King spoke coldly, supremely powerful, causing the human powerhouses whom Ye Chen had sent to a distance to nearly feel despair. Because the Tenth Heaven was too powerful; it was the fundamental reason why the strongest geniuses of the myriad realms in this epoch could not advance to the ultimate point.
They very much wanted Ye Chen to leave quickly, because a young generation's supreme of the Tenth Heaven was invincible. Unless an Emperor's son came, there would be hope for a confrontation.
"Die!" The Ancient Xun King snorted coldly, killing intent boiling and surging as he launched a full-force assault.
Boom—
The void disintegrated massively. It could be seen that black darkness radiance surged forth, accompanied by boundless alien race Great Dao laws, shattering the heavens. Even a Heavenly King would be killed in one strike. Who could possibly block it?
He wanted to kill that inheritor of the Battle Saint Lineage, thoroughly eradicating the Battle Saint Lineage.
The many powerhouses throughout the city couldn't help but shake their heads. Although the people of the Battle Saint Lineage were powerful, with peerless battle bodies as their fundamental strength, the Sealed Boundary Universe had been crippled by the alien race, lacking one heaven. At most, they could only cultivate to the ninth heaven. How could they contend with a young generation's supreme of the Tenth Heaven?
In the end, it would only lead to death.
If he could stay on the Ultimate Ancient Path for enough time, perhaps he would have the opportunity to break through the shackles and achieve the Tenth Heaven.
"Child, it's all our fault for harming him."
"If we hadn't been pursued, he wouldn't have come out, nor would he have been forced into a desperate situation. He is a seed representing our human race's hope. It's all for our sake that he had no choice but to appear. It's our mistake."
Among the human powerhouses who had originally moved far away, many were shedding tears, feeling pain, helplessness, and regret.
They all knew that Ye Chen's appearance was solely because of them. If not for them, Ye Chen would be safe and sound. Moreover, as an inheritor of the Battle Saint Lineage with a supreme treasure body, if he could use the special heaven and earth environment of the Ultimate Ancient Path, perhaps he could cultivate to the mythical Tenth Heaven. Then he would become supremely invincible, with unparalleled form and spirit.
But all this would now turn to dust.
"Kill! Let's all charge over! Even if we can't kill the alien race's strongest genius, we must self-destruct and make him spit out a mouthful of blood!"
"That's right! Kill! Let's all attack, self-destruct, and fight for a sliver of hope for the child to survive!"
Many human cultivators shouted, filled with great righteousness. At this moment, they were willing to sacrifice their lives, forgetting death. Their entire bodies glowed with radiant light, divine power burning as they soared into the sky, intending to self-destruct to inflict some damage on the Ancient Xun King.
If possible, they hoped their self-destruction could bring Ye Chen a few more chances to escape. Although the possibility was slim, it was worth trying.
"Moths flying into the flame, seeking their own destruction!"
The Ancient Xun King snorted coldly, about to attack those human cultivators who sought to throw themselves into the flame like moths. However, at this very moment, golden light suddenly blazed brilliantly. The darkness radiance and black glows seemed to be eroded by the sun, quickly disappearing and receding. Instead, they began to be suppressed by that expanse of golden light.
"What's going on!?"
Everyone was shocked repeatedly. The Ancient Xun King was even more astonished, suddenly thinking of a certain possibility. He looked at Ye Chen before him in horror, unable to help but say, "Could it be that you are also..."
He didn't dare to voice the words that followed, because this conclusion was too shocking, unbelievable.
Yet Ye Chen spoke, his voice icy cold, "That's right, because I am also of the Tenth Heaven!"
Boom—
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed sharply, his black hair standing on end. Ten divine halos of the heavens manifested around his body, shining brilliantly as if piercing through the Primordial Immortal Realm. Boundless immortal energy flowed mightily, submerging his own body, making him incomparably sacred and extraordinary.
His aura suddenly surged many times over. His entire person was like a war immortal descending to the mortal realm, suppressing the heavens.
A terrifyingly powerful Great Dao pressure erupted from Ye Chen's body, vast and mighty, blotting out the sky and earth, sweeping across the horizon, startling all directions. Even the other strongest geniuses outside the ancient city were alarmed.
Whether they were engaged in battle or cultivation, they were all startled awake. Sensing this terrifying aura, they suddenly raised their heads, looking towards the direction of that ancient city, their expressions filled with shock.
"Such powerful pressure! Who is it?"
"Among the strongest geniuses who have descended, there is actually such a supreme powerhouse hidden—a true young generation's supreme!"
Everyone was shocked and their expressions changed, because this level of pressure was too powerful, beyond imagination.
The human powerhouses were filled with joy one after another. The human race had hope! The Sealed Boundary Universe had hope!
"What!?"
The Ancient Xun King's expression drastically changed. The other powerhouses were greatly shocked. This human genius from the Battle Saint Lineage was actually also a world-shaking young generation's supreme of the Tenth Heaven. Could this be the birth of another Sovereign of Formlessness?
Thinking of that peerless Sovereign of Formlessness, the Ancient Xun King couldn't help but tremble.
Because in the previous epoch, the Sovereign of Formlessness had dealt too heavy a blow to the strongest geniuses of various ancient universes on the Ultimate Ancient Path. The alien race's strongest geniuses were severely suppressed, and the same was true for the strongest geniuses of the Primordial Immortal Realm. Only a few individuals could contend with him, and those were existences who later became Emperors or Immortals.
If this inheritor of the Battle Saint Lineage before him became a figure like the Sovereign of Formlessness, or even broke through the shackles to achieve the Emperor realm, perhaps he would become another Battle Saint Ancestor, posing a great threat to the alien race.
This scene was probably something even the Primogenitor would not wish to see.
Thinking this, the Ancient Xun King's expression immediately changed. He absolutely would not allow such a scene to occur. He must strangle this young generation's supreme of the Battle Saint Lineage in the cradle of his growth.
"So what if you are of the Tenth Heaven? This king refuses to believe that a young generation's supreme like me, cultivated under a complete heavenly dao environment, would lose to a young generation's supreme like you who attained the Dao in a crippled universe."
The Ancient Xun King snorted coldly. The divine power throughout his body boiled even more terrifyingly, mighty enough to strike the heavens, nearly shattering and annihilating everything.
"You... are not worthy!"
Ye Chen had only this one sentence, his expression extremely cold. Moreover, he made his move. His aura was shockingly terrifying as he strode forward like a dragon or tiger, launching a fierce attack accompanied by endless supreme pressure, vast and mighty, sweeping outwards.
He was like an invincible war immortal on the offensive. Every move and stance was so supremely powerful, capable of shattering the heavens, annihilating time and space, killing all obstacles, becoming the supreme master.
Boom—
After both raised their cultivation to the Tenth Heaven, their strength increased by more than a large margin. Golden light and darkness radiance clashed and splashed, vast and mighty, nearly submerging the nine heavens and ten earths, then shattering everything, tearing through the Great Dao's long sky.
The heavens collapsed massively. Ye Chen was brave and peerless, accompanied by boundless golden light shining, boiling, and surging, affecting all directions.
He continuously clashed with the Ancient Xun King. This was a contest between the strongest geniuses of two ancient universes, a battle between young generation's supremes, incomparably intense, beyond imagination.
Whoosh—
The battle halberd was forcibly seized by Ye Chen. The Ancient Xun King failed to grab it successfully, making his expression somewhat ugly. Moreover, he saw the other party display a peerless Battle Saint technique—
Heaven-Shaking Hand!
A palm as exquisite and flawless as jade struck out. Ye Chen executed the Heaven-Shaking Hand. At this moment, it was as if he brought the vast, boundless heavens crashing down. The entire ancient city trembled because of it, and the protective city light curtain dimmed.
That invincible will intent to break through everything erupted. Even the Ancient Xun King was sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of blood. The battle armor on his chest was smashed in, with numerous cracks appearing, spreading across every inch of the armor.
The Ancient Xun King bled. He was powerful, but at this moment, he was at a disadvantage because the other party was even more powerful, terrifying beyond imagination. He was being overpowered, unable to counterattack.
"Kill!" The Ancient Xun King roared, his eyes leaping with mysterious, eerie brilliance as his fourteen wings vibrated, charging towards Ye Chen.
Boom—
Ye Chen swung his Indestructible Saint Fist, its force shaking heaven and earth, sending the Ancient Xun King flying and making blood trickle from the corner of his mouth.
"You... are not worthy!" Ye Chen took a great stride forward, his aura terrifying the mortal world!
