Whoosh—
At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly dove down, pressing his advantage.
After the opponent unleashed the forbidden divine ability of his third eye, it would have drastically depleted his divine power. Exhausted and severely wounded, this was absolutely the perfect opportunity for Ye Chen to kill An Yu.
Slaying an Imperial Son would be far more intimidating and a much greater blow to the entire alien race than killing a young generation's supreme.
"Imperial Son!"
"Brother An Yu!"
The other three alien young supremes were shocked and rushed over to protect Imperial Son An Yu. They absolutely could not let him be killed by the Human Race's Battle Saint King.
Boom—
A terrifying aura sealed off the sky. It was the five young supremes, led by Weier, who had made their move, blocking the path and preventing them from advancing.
"Scram!"
The three alien young supremes roared, utterly enraged. Dark light erupted from their bodies, their auras surging as they tried to break through the blockade to rescue Imperial Son An Yu.
"You're the ones who should scram!"
Taiyang Shen shouted. His entire person was enveloped in a dazzling, scorching sun, radiating boundless light. The Golden Crow Divine Spear in his hand shone with the endless crimson divine radiance of the Hengyang Red Gold, and crimson-gold Order Divine Chains shot forth as he counterattacked.
True to his name, he was a peerless Sun God, astonishingly and excessively powerful, matchless in the world. He stepped forward and blocked one alien young supreme.
Feng Wu was peerless, graceful and enchanting. Immortal mist veiled her figure, yet she appeared transcendent and noble, like the most exalted celestial maiden. A five-colored divine glow also emanated from her, and she wore a five-colored mask on her face.
Yet her attack shook heaven and earth!
Rumble—
In a daze, the cry of a phoenix soaring through the nine heavens resounded. Within her body, it seemed the supreme bloodline of the Immortal Deathless Phoenix was flowing, beginning to awaken completely.
One could clearly sense terrifying blood energy fluctuations boiling within Feng Wu, deafeningly loud, as if an Immortal Deathless Phoenix lay dormant within her, now beginning to awaken and display its world-shaking sacred might.
She was a true daughter of heaven, single-handedly intercepting one alien young supreme, launching a fierce assault that entangled them in a fierce battle!
Ye Gucheng was equally peerless, displaying the Emperor Scripture divine abilities of the Ye Family. The Primordial Demon God also charged forward to kill. Even Weier, that sneaky and wretched Bright King, did the same. The five young supremes charging forward created a completely one-sided situation.
After all, in the opposing camp, only An Yu was a true Imperial Son. The others had only recently managed to step into the tenth heaven, not having done so at the half-god realm.
Boom boom boom—
It could be seen that although the three alien young supremes could not be instantly defeated, they were still completely suppressed and had no chance to save Imperial Son An Yu.
Originally, some super-powerful beings who intended to block the Sealed Realm young supremes hesitated and did not act again. At this moment, the Human Race's Battle Saint King's momentum was like a rainbow. Unless an ancient Great Sage appeared, likely no one was his match.
Moreover, the ancient Great Sages who arrived later also ceased their actions. This was not only because of the Master of the Fifth Trial Continent, but also because a token had appeared in his hand—an Enforcement Token—which made even these ancient Great Sages wary.
Because if the Master of the Fifth Trial Continent crushed it, Ancient Path Enforcers would descend. Those were extremely terrifying figures. Even external ancient Great Sages like the Burial Island Master would not willingly oppose the Ancient Path Enforcers unless absolutely necessary.
Crack—
Ye Chen soared across the sky. The forbidden divine ability had long been withdrawn; the consumption was too great to maintain that state for long. However, operating the Battle Saint Method, he was still terrifyingly powerful. As his Heaven-Shaking Hand descended, even if An Yu blocked with his Black Gold War Halberd, how could he possibly withstand Ye Chen under these circumstances of waning strength against waxing?
Blood light soared to the heavens. Both of An Yu's arms were successively torn off, a scene quite bloody and tragic.
Then Ye Chen struck again, shattering half of An Yu's body. Brilliant blood light erupted fiercely.
All of this made people's scalps tingle. That a dignified Imperial Son could meet such a miserable end made hearts tremble.
But none of this Imperial Son's flesh, blood, or bones were wasted. Ye Chen collected them all into his Chaos Cauldron. This was the best method to study the alien race; perhaps their weaknesses could be deduced from it. At the very least, there might be a chance to analyze the Moluo Imperial Clan.
"Still a bit short on flesh and blood. Please continue to provide, preferably including the soul as well. I would be very grateful," Ye Chen said lightly.
This infuriated An Yu immensely. As an Imperial Son, even severely wounded, his blood light surged mightily now. The power of his Emperor bloodline was burning, striking at the heavens. Order Divine Chains shot out, all condensed from the traces of the Great Dao laws contained within his bloodline power, piercing through the sky towards Ye Chen.
Simultaneously, his entire body erupted with terrifying dark light as he shot skyward to flee.
"Hmph, since you've become a defeated dog, you might as well stay completely!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly, moving with the majestic stride of a dragon and tiger. The special Chaos Great Cauldron above his head shot out, descending with myriad strands of ancient Chaos Qi. Its lid opened, transforming into an abyssal black hole that took in all rivers, swallowing all the Order Divine Chains.
Then Ye Chen flashed forward instantly, slapping the Chaos Great Cauldron with his palm. With a deafening boom, the Chaos Great Cauldron blasted through the sky, directly striking An Yu, who was burning his blood to escape.
Boom—
That area of heaven and earth was blasted apart. An Yu's remaining half-body was nearly completely shattered, the dark light swirling around him also on the verge of dispersing. He vomited several more mouthfuls of blood, a truly miserable sight.
However, he was ultimately an Imperial Son, and possessed life-preserving treasures left by his Emperor father. How could he be killed so easily?
Whoosh—
In the end, An Yu, bearing terrible wounds, was enveloped by a special dawn-like light, broke through the restrictions, and fled like lightning. Only a trail of blood was left scattered in the void, which Ye Chen collected with his Chaos Great Cauldron.
Seeing An Yu successfully escape, the other three alien young supremes quickly tried to break away from the five young supremes and soar into the sky.
The five young supremes attacked, but when these alien young supremes wanted to flee, they could not completely stop them, though a certain price had to be paid.
Moreover, Ye Chen in the distant sky was in a state of ultimate sublimation. He hurled the Chaos Great Cauldron out. On the cauldron, the imprint of a young supreme was vivid and lifelike, as if it might transcend at any moment to become a newly born young supreme, fighting for Ye Chen.
With a boom, one alien young supreme was struck, nearly blown apart. The other two young supremes were also affected, forced to cough up large mouthfuls of blood. In the end, they left behind a trail of blood but successfully escaped.
Thus, the clash between the younger generations of the two ancient universes came to a complete end.
At the center of the battlefield, the Human Race's Battle Saint King stood with his black hair flowing, peerlessly heroic. His aura spread across heaven and earth, making all the ultimate geniuses who had come to the Ultimate Ancient Path feel a terrifying pressure. Every young supreme felt the weight, their expressions filled with gravity.
Boom—
Ye Chen shuddered. A layer of special law light descended from the sky, quickly enveloping him and the two little beasts, causing the figures of the man and two beasts to grow faint and indistinct.
Moreover, a massive divine light pillar descended, enveloping them.
Everyone was stunned. What was happening?
"Has the time finally come? What a pity!" Ye Chen felt somewhat helpless. Even the Human Emperor Pagoda could not completely isolate it, because the delay had been too long. He had to leave.
It was just a shame. He had wanted to stay a while longer, but time was insufficient.
"Battle Saint King, you are..."
Feng Wu and the other young supremes were somewhat bewildered. Ye Chen proactively explained: "I did not ascend from the correct location. I merely strayed into the Fifth Trial Continent by accident and must now return to the Sealed Realm Universe."
Everyone was astonished. The Human Race's Battle Saint King had actually strayed into the Ultimate Ancient Path by accident and had not formally set foot on it. No wonder his name had not been heard before.
"If one does not ascend from the correct location, how can they enter the Ultimate Ancient Path? This ancient path is protected. One can only ascend through specific locations; otherwise, even an Emperor would find it difficult to enter the ancient path," several ancient Great Sages spoke with furrowed brows.
"There is another situation: if Emperors act, and not just one, but several Emperors join forces, it might be possible to send someone into the Ultimate Ancient Path midway. However, they would face rejection from the Ultimate Ancient Path," the Master of the Fifth Trial Continent spoke thus.
The Ultimate Ancient Path was extremely extraordinary; being called 'Ultimate' spoke for itself. Moreover, it was rumored that in the distant past, in the initial epoch, the earliest batch of the most powerful Emperors jointly opened this ancient path, leaving their imprints upon it. It was not something one or two Emperors could forcibly enter.
However, the Master of the Fifth Trial Continent frowned. It was known throughout the world that the Sealed Realm Universe was defeated and crippled by the alien universe in the previous epoch. In this epoch, the various Emperors did not exist; the strongest was only the Human Sovereign. How could they break open the Ultimate Ancient Path to send someone in midway?
This point remained puzzling and incomprehensible.
Not to mention the Master of the Fifth Trial Continent, even Ye Chen and the two little beasts did not understand.
Boom—
Ye Chen and the two little beasts began to slowly rise into the air, ascending along the divine light pillar, truly about to leave the Ultimate Ancient Path.
"What a pity."
He sighed softly. There were some old acquaintances he could not meet again, such as his nominal brother-in-law Zhao Chen, whom he had not seen. Also, the mysterious Yuan Yang Divine King, the Imperial Sons of the Sealed Realm—none had appeared, leaving him somewhat disappointed.
But he would eventually meet them on the Ultimate Ancient Path in the future.
Weier and the other five young supremes were very reluctant to part. The human cultivators on the Fifth Trial Continent were also very reluctant, yet also excited, because Ye Chen would surely return sooner or later.
However, the other young supremes in the distant sky, even the ultimate geniuses of various races, smiled coldly, looking with icy gazes at the other Sealed Realm young supremes. Without the strongest Human Race's Battle Saint King, they no longer feared these few.
No matter how powerful these five Sealed Realm young supremes were, none had the deterrent power of the Human Race's Battle Saint King.
Ye Chen and the two little beasts' figures were rapidly fading. Yet, just as they were about to vanish completely, a sentence slowly resounded throughout heaven and earth, causing everyone, including the other young supremes, to change expressions: "One day, I, the Battle Saint King, will ascend the Ultimate Ancient Path once more in an even more invincible form!"
As the voice faded, all hostility towards the five Sealed Realm young supremes vanished in an instant. Everyone's bodies stiffened...
