It was hard to believe. This Chaos Deity, who could battle Ye Chen without being at a disadvantage—so supremely powerful, so invincible, a magnificent man not much weaker than him—was actually just a clone. The true main body was elsewhere.
This clone had been buried within the stone coffin, undergoing some astonishing transformation within the chaos space, only to be disturbed and drawn out by Ye Chen.
Who exactly was this person?
Even someone as powerful as Ye Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly at this moment. If just a clone was this terrifying, how much more terrifying would the true main body be if it were here?
Yet, that was all. Ye Chen felt no fear.
Who was he? The invincible Battle Saint King, who had fought against seven ancient Sovereigns of the alien race, faced a true Emperor, possessed the transcendent Chaos Saint Body, possessed peerless combat power, and harbored an invincible will. Now, he let out a long roar and actively initiated the most fearsome battle.
"So what if it's a clone? Even if the main body were here, I'd still smash it!"
Forceful. Domineering!
"I hope you have the courage for that," the Chaos Deity sneered coldly, also taking action.
Boom—
The moment the two collided, it was a truly terrifying, intense clash. All sorts of world-shaking divine abilities were displayed, affecting a vast area.
Visibly, powerful primordial Chaos Qi exploded there, shaking heaven and earth, affecting the starry realms in all directions. It was so intense it defied description, shattering vast swathes of ancient stars and plunging an entire starfield into utter darkness.
The ferocity of the battle there was such that no one knew how many vast starfields it would affect.
Yet, precisely because of this, it alarmed the starry realms in all directions. Even the terrifying fluctuations reached the extreme distance, even to that starfield where a majestic immortal ancient city stood—the second checkpoint of the Ultimate Ancient Path. The Guardian ancient Great Sage stationed there was alarmed, rising to his feet and gazing into the starfield where the most fearsome battle was taking place, filled with astonishment.
"Are ancient Great Sages confronting each other?"
He murmured to himself, for the fluctuations were too intense, spreading across a sufficiently vast starfield. Even many Ancient Path Trial-Takers within the second checkpoint's ancient city were alarmed, all looking over from afar.
But they were all inwardly astonished, for the intensity of those fluctuations was far from ordinary. They were even stronger than those of a Heavenly King. It was very likely an intense confrontation between ancient Great Sages—a world-shaking battle that would draw attention from all directions.
Whoosh—
Almost without thinking, the ancient Great Sage guarding the Ultimate Ancient Path's second checkpoint shot into the sky, rushing toward that starfield of intense battle. He also stopped the Ancient Path Trial-Takers in the second checkpoint who wanted to rush over to watch, for it was too dangerous. Even someone as powerful as him dared not approach lightly, let alone these Trial-Takers. No matter how strong they were, if swept by the aftermath, they would not escape being reduced to ashes, unless they were among the strongest on the Ancient Path like young generation's supremes or Emperor's sons.
As the Great Power moved, the entire starry realm rapidly receded behind him as he rushed to an extremely distant location. Yet, even before arriving, he could sense how intense the battle was. Even that vast starfield was suffused with primordial Chaos Qi, submerging everything, impossible to penetrate—even for him, an ancient Great Sage.
However, Chaos aura could annihilate everything and conceal Heavenly Secrets; how could it be easily penetrated?
He could only see that within the vast starfield, two terrifying Invincible Ones were colliding, exchanging blows. Neither was weaker than him; this was a Great Power-level battle.
The Guardian of the second checkpoint naturally dared not intervene lightly. Staying sufficiently far away to avoid being caught in the crossfire was the wisest course.
Boom—
The battle continued unabated, reaching astonishing levels in the blink of an eye. Stars continuously perished, then fell into complete silence, causing that starry realm to lose its luster and turn dim.
Boom—
Suddenly, two terrifying streams of primordial Chaos Qi appeared, blasting through the void, directly hurtling toward the second checkpoint's Guardian, filled with the most dreadful divine might.
The Guardian Great Power of the second checkpoint had no desire to face it head-on, for that Chaos Qi was filled with destructiveness. He hastily dodged, witnessing that patch of void directly annihilated by the Chaos Qi, everything on the verge of complete disintegration and shattering.
"So powerful! To actually be able to pilot primordial Chaos Qi to this extent... Who exactly are the two in this confrontation?"
He was shocked, for primordial Chaos Qi was extremely difficult to pilot and fully utilize. Even someone as powerful as an ancient Great Sage could not achieve this. The other party's mastery over chaos had reached a remarkably profound level.
Suddenly, he recalled Myriad Saints City before the Ultimate Ancient Path's first checkpoint not long ago. The Lord of the Moon Worship Pavilion had sent a message mentioning that a supremely powerful mysterious Great Power had appeared then, capable of controlling primordial Chaos Qi, resolving all things, and shattering the myriad Daos. Moreover, he wielded the peerless battle weapon of Sovereign Wuxiang—the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd—and had even pressured the City Lord of Myriad Saints City, an Invincible One under the starry sky, into a helpless state, not daring to act rashly. Could one of them be him?
However, there was no Emperor-level fluctuation from the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd at all, making it hard to judge. Moreover, he dared not rashly charge into the battlefield, lest he be dragged into the battle by both supremely powerful Great Sages—that would be the most unjust outcome.
Boom—
Within the starfield, Ye Chen was engaged in a fearsome battle with the mysterious Chaos Deity. Both were cultivators of the Chaos Great Dao, having reached a sufficiently profound level, not inferior to true ancient Great Sages. Thus, the battle affected too vast an area.
Both were wreathed in chaotic light, with primordial Chaos Qi surging around them, as if they were true Chaos Deities. Only their appearances differed, but with every move they could split heaven and earth, with all sorts of terrifying phenomena manifesting.
For instance, the Chaos Deity had vast temporal and spatial realms accompanying him, displaying chaos techniques that carried the mighty power of the great universe, directly blasting down to shatter and annihilate everything.
Ye Chen was even more so. Azure Dragon on the left, White Tiger on the right, Vermilion Bird above, Black Tortoise below—the Four Sacred Beasts manifested. A brilliant golden great path sprouted beneath his feet, rushing toward the distant void. Myriad spirits bowed and surged; ancient world realms and temporal spaces manifested, as if carrying the great Dao power of the myriad heavens and realms, striking out to destroy all heavens.
Both were true chaos supreme experts, with similar realms. Who was truly inferior to whom when they truly battled?
That mysterious Chaos Deity was transcendent and supremely powerful. His strength surpassed imagination. Chaos could evolve into all things, borrowing the mighty power of the great universe, showcasing the extraordinariness of chaos.
Clearly, this person's comprehension and mastery of chaos exceeded Ye Chen's expectations, even deeper than his own. Even Ye Chen was astonished—this was indeed a peerless great enemy.
