Beneath the statue of the Dominator, Ye Chen's expression turned slightly cold. Standing there, he simply raised his palm like a blade, slicing through the heavens and earth without employing any terrifying dao techniques. With a few clanging sounds, the five Saints were sent flying, and the dao weapons in their hands shattered.
This was only because he had held back, knowing that these people before him were powerhouses of the Gu Lan Holy Church, and they might have once been under his command. He did not wish to slaughter the innocent indiscriminately.
One must know that not long ago, when dealing with a Heavenly King wielding an Immortal Ancient Weapon, he had not only shattered the ancient weapon in close combat but also slain that Heavenly King with a single slap. This showed just how powerful he truly was.
However, the powerhouses of the Holy Church did not see it this way. While they were somewhat fearful of this blasphemer's strength, they could not forgive his attempt to impersonate the great Dominator. The other powerhouses were about to take action.
Among them, the former Thirteenth Prince, now the Ruler of Xiafeng Kingdom, also appeared.
A hundred years had passed, and he now appeared more dignified and powerful. Although he could not compare to a monstrous genius like Ye Chen, having been born in this special golden Great Era and having had a good relationship with the Ye Chen of old, receiving cultivation resources from the Holy Church, he had now, after a century, initially stepped into the Saint Treasury Realm, becoming a young Saint.
He strode forward, also intending to join the battle. Because Ye Chen was his good brother who had fought side by side with him, who had sacrificed himself for the Sealed Universe—a righteous act of great virtue that could not be desecrated or impersonated. This filled him with rage.
However, when he arrived and saw Ye Chen in that instant, he felt a sense of déjà vu, as if it were the invincible Battle Saint King who had once laughed and chatted with him.
That aura was special, unique, identical to the Ye Chen of old, yet even more powerful.
At the same time, Ye Chen also looked over, staring intently at the Ruler of Xiafeng Kingdom. A light flickered in the center of his brow as he said, "Who are you? Why do you give me a feeling of familiarity?"
The Ruler of Xiafeng Kingdom looked at Ye Chen and noticed that this so-called blasphemer's eyes held a certain emptiness. It did not seem like a lie but more like he had lost his memories and was now returning, trying to recall everything.
"Could you really be—" He was suddenly startled and hurriedly shouted to the Holy Church powerhouses, "Everyone, please stop! He might truly be the Battle Saint King!"
These words caused everyone to be shocked. What did this mean? Could the Battle Saint King have truly been resurrected? One must know that even the Human Sovereign had sent an envoy to offer condolences back then. Could that have been false?
A Samsara-level supreme expert said coldly, "Ruler of Xiafeng Kingdom, although we know you had a good relationship with the Dominator of old, you still cannot speak recklessly. The death of the Dominator was confirmed even by the Human Sovereign Palace of the myriad realms sending an envoy to offer condolences. How could it be false? Moreover, the Heavenly God has already issued a decree. He cannot be the true Saint King Dominator. He is intentionally impersonating him, a blasphemer who cannot be forgiven."
"That's right. He is merely a blasphemer. We also hope that you, Ruler of Xiafeng Kingdom, do not misjudge the situation. Recognize the other party clearly and do not be deceived," another person spoke, his tone equally icy.
If not for this Ruler of Xiafeng Kingdom having a certain relationship with the Saint King Dominator of old, how would these Saints, and even Saint Lords and other super-powerhouses, tolerate a mere Saint speaking to them in such a manner?
The Ruler of Xiafeng Kingdom's expression changed. He wanted to speak up but lacked the power to stop them. Moreover, at this moment, the other powerhouses of the Gu Lan Holy Church had already taken action, with one Samsara-level expert personally making a move.
Ye Chen's gaze returned to its cold indifference as he looked icily at his enemies. "Stop. I do not wish to harm you, nor do I wish to harm anyone. I only wish to understand my past and awaken my former memories."
However, that Samsara-level expert was enraged, his expression instantly darkening. "Blasphemer! You dare desecrate the great Dominator, the Battle Saint King of our world, and dare to speak so arrogantly? This lord will see what ability you have to harm me."
Having reached the Samsara level, most were those who had failed in their struggle through the crossing of Samsara but had fortunately survived, becoming figures even more powerful than those in the Saint Treasury Realm. Now, as he took action, he turned his hand to summon clouds and overturned it to bring rain, sparing no effort to kill this detestable blasphemer.
Moreover, he did not wish to damage Xia Feng Academy, the academy where the Dominator had once cultivated. He altered heaven and earth, transforming everything and shifting the battlefield to the highest point of the sky.
Only such an open space was the true arena for a duel between powerhouses.
Yet Ye Chen's figure remained as immovable as a mountain. Chaotic light shimmered all over his body, dissolving all fluctuations of laws. Even the attack from this Samsara-level supreme expert was no exception.
One must know that when he emerged from the stone coffin, even when a Heavenly King attacked him with an Immortal Ancient Weapon, it was still broken by the chaotic light emanating from his body. This showed just how extraordinary and immortal the chaotic light was.
"This is bad! This blasphemer is very strong. He might be a Heavenly King!"
Seeing this move, the Holy Church powerhouses immediately understood that this blasphemer was unusually difficult to deal with and was certainly very powerful, possibly a true Heavenly King.
Such a figure was truly few and far between even in the vast Gu Lan Great World. The other two Samsara-level supreme experts decisively retrieved the Heavenly King Dao Weapons they had brought, rushing forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with the attacking Samsara-level expert. The three Holy Church Samsara experts revived three Heavenly King Dao Weapons, sparing no effort to attack the blasphemer.
They would simply have to repair Xia Feng Academy afterward.
Naturally, Ye Chen would not sit idly by and wait for death. With a single step, a boom echoed as if a Heavenly Emperor had descended. The void in all directions trembled, and heaven and earth shook.
He released a most terrifying aura from his entire body, forcefully suppressing the three Samsara-level experts. With a single slap, the three Heavenly King Dao Weapons were sent flying with clanging sounds, cracks appearing on them, nearly shattering.
Following this, Ye Chen flicked his finger. A force of great terror descended, and the three Samsara-level experts were directly flicked away by his finger. Each of them vomited large mouthfuls of blood, collapsing into the dust.
All of this was completed in the blink of an eye.
In the distant sky, everyone gasped in shock. The three Samsara-level experts sent by the Holy Church—each one capable of dominating the current Tian Du Continent as its strongest—were so utterly weak before the blasphemer. Just who was this blasphemer?
"Die, blasphemer!"
The three Samsara-level supreme experts shouted loudly and crushed a jade token. Beams of light shot out from within, intertwining in the sky and giving birth to a fearsome figure—tall and burly, clad in holy robes, releasing a powerful aura that swept across the heavens.
Now, looking down from a high position, he gazed at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with merciless coldness. "You are the blasphemer?"
"It's the Heavenly God!"
Everyone was startled. They had not expected the three Samsara-level experts to summon the current Holy Church Dominator, the Heavenly God. He had descended an incarnation. Although it was not his true form, it possessed a vigorous aura that caused the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers to tremble, truly like a deity descending to the mortal realm.
