Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang!
...
One after another, the sounds of metal clashing rang out. The Soul-Devouring Divine Chains and Divine Soul Shackles were all severed by the Chaos Sword Qi, freeing the numerous powerhouses imprisoned within this Soul-Restraining Hall.
However, having been suppressed in the Soul-Restraining Hall for so long, their Forms and Spirits were extremely weak. Even those as powerful as Heavenly Kings could not currently muster more than ten or twenty percent of their peak combat strength.
Yet, everyone looked at Ye Chen with awe. Who could have imagined that this young man, who had been captured and brought into the Soul-Restraining Hall alone, would turn out to be such a formidable peerless powerhouse? Not only had he slain the terrifying ancient recluse Heavenly King, but he had also shattered the restraints of many Soul-Restraining prisons and soared into the sky alone. Everything about him radiated such forcefulness and domineering aura.
At this moment, Ye Chen raised his fist and shook it, directly striking through the void towards the Soul-Restraining Hall.
Boom—!
A terrifyingly loud explosion was heard. The void space of the Soul-Restraining Hall was shattered, a hole blasted through it, piercing this dark little world and revealing the light from outside.
Outside, surging divine flames could be seen boiling and roaring, vast and mighty, threatening to drown everything.
"What a Soul-Restraining Hall! Daring to capture the trial prodigies of the Ultimate Ancient Path! Do you wish to rebel against the Ultimate Ancient Path and stand completely opposed to it?"
A great shout suddenly resounded throughout the Soul-Forbidden Mountain Range, exploding out of thin air, causing the countless mountains and valleys to tremble. Under the force of this shout, many Soul-Restraining Hall powerhouses were directly pulverized, their Forms and Spirits annihilated.
The Great Power Moon-Worship Tower Master had appeared. His body was wreathed in divine radiance, with Dao principles descending upon him. He seemed like a deity from the Primordial Era descending upon the mortal world.
Behind him appeared numerous powerhouses—older generation experts from various races, as well as young elites, all very powerful. They had now formed an army, following behind the Moon-Worship Tower Master as he began his campaign.
Boom!
The Moon-Worship Tower Master led his thousands of troops and horses into Myriad Saints City, even locating the position of the Soul-Restraining Hall. Bypassing the Cosmic Heaven City Lord, he now began to act with overwhelming force.
"Moon-Worship Tower Master, you seek death! How dare you intrude into our Soul-Forbidden Mountain Range!"
The Great Power of the Soul-Restraining Hall was no ordinary figure either; he was also an ancient Great Sage. Both being Great Powers, who was truly weaker when it came to actual combat?
Boom—!
The two ancient Great Sages clashed directly. The moment they engaged, it was with Great Power-level divine abilities and laws. Between them, illusory worlds manifested, were evolved, were deduced, and then were unleashed in their entirety towards each other. Divine radiance blazed brilliantly—all manifestations of Great Power-level might. Any single attack was enough to shatter ten thousand li of sky and suppress a Heavenly King.
Only such ancient Great Sages could truly display this level of power.
"Kill!"
Behind the Moon-Worship Tower Master, the thousands of troops and horses also charged in. These were powerhouses from the Ultimate Ancient Path—those guarding the first checkpoint of the Ultimate Ancient Path, young elites from various Ancient Universes, and even the most outstanding talents. They all followed the Moon-Worship Tower Master into battle.
Among them were several figures powerful enough to stand out from the rest, terrifying like gods and demons. They charged forward, beginning to fight.
The Soul-Restraining Hall was not about to be outdone. This was a mysterious and powerful ancient force famous throughout the Ultimate Ancient Path. Its strength was naturally beyond doubt. Now, as the battle commenced, it was equally terrifying.
Among those Soul-Restraining Hall powerhouses, there was naturally no lack of true Heavenly King-level experts. They all charged out, tearing through the sky, clashing in a series of engagements with the powerhouses from the Ultimate Ancient Path.
"Retreat!"
Without much hesitation, shortly after the battle began, the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power gave the order to retreat, even as he dueled the Moon-Worship Tower Master.
Because there was no need to prolong the fight. The most crucial task was to escort the various Soul-Restraining Halls away.
"Thinking of leaving? It won't be that easy." The Moon-Worship Tower Master snorted coldly. He slapped out a palm strike containing absolutely vast and majestic energy, howling as it tore through the air, destroying everything in its path as it struck towards the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power.
"Moon-Worship Tower Master, though you are strong, thinking you can keep me here is somewhat wishful thinking," the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power spoke, his voice filled with coldness.
And at the same time, another supremely powerful Great Power-level aura emerged from within the Soul-Forbidden Mountain Range. It was the Cosmic Heaven City Lord, striding forth with a vast, sweeping aura as he arrived. He looked coldly at the Moon-Worship Tower Master: "Moon-Worship Tower Master, you have overstepped. This is Myriad Saints City, not your Ultimate Ancient Path. By intruding into my Myriad Saints City, you need to give an explanation!"
The Moon-Worship Tower Master snorted coldly: "Cosmic Heaven City Lord, you were well aware that the Soul-Restraining Hall had captured young elites from various Ancient Universes, yet you turned a blind eye. Moreover, you obstructed my attempts to rescue those young elites. Do you also wish to become an enemy of my Ultimate Ancient Path?"
The Cosmic Heaven City Lord appeared imposing and awe-inspiring, possessing an absolute divine bearing that looked down upon the world. He said coldly, "Moon-Worship Tower Master, I don't know what you're talking about. But since you have entered my Myriad Saints City, if you are a dragon, coil up; if you are a tiger, lie down!"
Boom—!
At this moment, the Cosmic Heaven City Lord also made his move, unleashing a world-shaking Great Power-level aura that directly pressed down upon the Moon-Worship Tower Master. Simultaneously, the ancient Great Sage of the Soul-Restraining Hall also attacked. The two ancient Great Sages joined forces to strike at the Moon-Worship Tower Master.
This was two against one. Both ancient Great Sages had killing intent, aiming to swiftly eliminate him!
"You truly intend to stand completely opposed to the Ultimate Ancient Path!" Even the Moon-Worship Tower Master's expression changed, but he showed no fear. He too was an ancient Great Sage; why would he fear this?
Boom—!
At the highest point of the Soul-Forbidden Mountain Range, three Great Power-level fluctuations rippled and released, their auras world-shaking and world-destroying, sweeping across all directions. The void was directly torn open into massive spatial chasms, extending for tens of thousands of li, swallowing many powerhouses.
This was the true manifestation of the combat power of ancient Great Sage-level powerhouses. Everything was far more terrifying than one could imagine.
However, not only was the Moon-Worship Tower Master at a disadvantage, but even the powerhouses of the Ultimate Ancient Path began to fall into a disadvantageous position.
Because the powerhouses of Myriad Saints City had also charged out. Countless powerful figures flooded the skies, directly pushing back the various powerhouses of the Ultimate Ancient Path who had initially held some advantage. Among them were no lack of Heavenly King-level experts, each one terrifyingly powerful, slaughtering their way to the ninth heaven.
Boom—!
It could be said that the Ultimate Ancient Path side was at a disadvantage. The various powerhouses of the Soul-Restraining Hall were strong, and the various powerhouses of Myriad Saints City were also sufficiently powerful. On the Ultimate Ancient Path side, only the Moon-Worship Tower Master, a single ancient Great Sage, had come. He was being suppressed by the joint efforts of two ancient Great Sages. During their exchanges, he was continuously pressured and had now begun to sustain internal injuries, blood constantly trickling from the corner of his mouth—a manifestation of his wounds.
Moreover, over a dozen powerful Heavenly Kings from the Soul-Restraining Hall had appeared. Naturally, Myriad Saints City also had several Heavenly Kings. The two sides joined forces and, acting together, forced the Ultimate Ancient Path side to cough up blood repeatedly.
Among them, quite a few powerhouses had already fallen. Furthermore, the powerhouses of the Soul-Restraining Hall were even taking action to capture the young elites from the Ultimate Ancient Path.
As the various powerhouses of the Ultimate Ancient Path gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, Ye Chen, at the same time, launched the most terrifying campaign, preparing to slaughter in all directions.
