A battle at the level of the Strongest Prodigies erupted, incredibly intense, instantly drawing the gazes of many.
Both were true Strongest Prodigies, their cultivation levels extraordinary, so naturally, once they began fighting, it was extremely fierce and terrifying, causing the void to collapse.
Even within this suppressed space, both could display a certain level of dao techniques and divine abilities. Between them, divine radiance surged, secret arts manifested naturally, and even strands of order divine chains shot out, charging towards each other.
Boom—
Pang Shan rode his tyrannosaurus in a horizontal charge. He was a Strongest Prodigy formed from a divine peak in an Ancient Universe, and coupled with his powerful cultivation, he was shockingly formidable. Swinging his spiked club down in a vertical slash, he crushed the sky, causing dao principles to explode in streaks and wisps, a truly terrifying sight.
Boom—
Ye Chen met him head-on, directly swinging his Immortal Saint Fist to clash hard against the spiked club. Sparks erupted in clusters, annihilating the void.
Yet, what was astonishing was that Ye Chen's fist was peerlessly immortal, without a single trace of injury. He himself stood unmoving like a mountain, always rooted there, black hair flowing, resembling an immortal divine king.
In contrast, Pang Shan was forced back along with his tyrannosaurus mount. Moreover, several spikes on that spiked club were shattered by this punch, leaving a clear fist imprint with fine cracks spreading around it.
This caused many to suck in a cold breath of air. What kind of extraordinary divine fist could achieve this?
Even Pang Shan was shocked, and no one knew that the arm wielding the spiked club was spasming and numb, the club almost flying out of his grip.
He was a Strongest Prodigy formed from a divine peak, his innate physical body should be powerful. Yet in a direct confrontation, he was no match for this human youth, lagging by more than one level.
Who exactly was this person? Could he truly be a peerless Imperial Son?
"In close combat, I am invincible!"
Ye Chen spoke coldly, his words filled with unparalleled, intense confidence. He strode forward aggressively, unleashing the Four Extremes Connecting to Saints Style. The phantoms of four sacred beasts appeared, four-colored divine radiance swirling around his body as he charged forward, actively engaging in slaughter.
Furthermore, he continued to strike with that supremely immortal sacred fist, punching down head-on again and again. Each fist was like the collapse and sinking of a world, filled with terrifying oppressive force.
Not to mention Pang Shan, even the Blood Desolation Eight Riders, the Blood Robe Tower Master, and other Strongest Prodigies, as well as other ancient path trial-takers, felt that terrifying pressure. If not for the suppression of the Sovereign's laws, it would likely have completely shattered the heavens.
Only the remnant soul of the Ancient Monarch on the Sovereign's divine throne smiled faintly. He knew that this junior named Ye Chen was still hiding his strength. To still be concealing at this stage was an interesting little fellow.
Boom boom boom—
Even though Pang Shan was also powerful, and even broke through one heaven during the battle, reaching the super Heavenly King realm of the Seventh Heaven—a leap from the Sixth to the Seventh Heaven representing a qualitative jump, elevating his entire cultivation by a large margin—it was still not enough.
In this space suppressed by the Sovereign, dao techniques were heavily suppressed. Even the Divine Kingdom's Lord and Divine Kingdom's ancestor were like this, let alone others; it was even more impossible. Only the physical body was truly invincible.
Pang Shan originally held the innate advantage. He was formed from a divine peak in the Eight Gods Ancient Universe, innately immortal. But Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Body was even more extraordinary and immortal, far stronger than the treasure bodies of ordinary Great Powers. It could basically be said that he was invincible.
In their duel, Pang Shan was completely overpowered, a one-sided affair.
Roar—
Pang Shan's tyrannosaurus mount roared, opening its bloody maw to bite Ye Chen.
Crack—
Ye Chen snorted coldly. A single immortal sacred fist descended, not only suppressing Pang Shan but also containing immense force directly transmitted to the tyrannosaurus mount beneath. The vast pressure tore through the sky, causing the tyrannosaurus to roar in pain, its legs snapping, flesh and blood splattering.
Roar—
The tyrannosaurus mount beneath him howled in agony, a truly miserable sound.
"How dare you!"
Pang Shan raged, swinging his spiked club to attack again.
Moreover, behind him, a majestic divine peak phantom manifested, emanating a vast, majestic ancient aura.
But Ye Chen's combat power surged to its limit once more. His entire being emanated an aura of supreme invincibility. Even with a four-heaven gap, his peerless Saint Body displayed the Battle Saint Technique, concealed with secret arts, completely overpowering Pang Shan.
"Die!"
A terrifying roar shook the heavens. Ye Chen instantly charged forth, four-colored divine radiance swirling around his body. With a whoosh, he landed before Pang Shan. His divine abilities activated, his combat power suddenly rising by a large margin, directly blasting the divine mountain phantom behind Pang Shan into smithereens, scattering into a rain of brilliant light.
Then he charged past, tearing Pang Shan in two, flesh and blood flying. Even the tyrannosaurus beneath was torn apart, completely annihilated.
Splat—
A blood flower bloomed, a living being extinguished. Ye Chen passed through, bathed in battle blood, his armor stained. Yet his entire being flowed with an invincible, immortal divine bearing.
Pang Shan had fallen. The blood in the void glowed, transforming into a rain of light before dissipating. Then, a towering mountain range appeared—this was Pang Shan's true form, torn in two but still flowing with special radiant light. It was an extraordinary divine mountain, actually a living being formed from Starry Blue Silver, a Heavenly King-grade divine material for artifact forging. Who would have thought it could gain sentience and become a Strongest Prodigy?
However, the clansmen of the Tianyue Clan from the Eight Gods Ancient Universe were all living beings formed from mountain ranges. Pang Shan, as a Strongest Prodigy, being a living being formed from Starry Blue Silver also explained why he was so powerful.
Pang Shan was killed. Ye Chen refined the torn divine mountain, shrinking it in his hand. His entire being seethed with a terrifying, peerless aura. The two fifth-level platforms beneath his feet began to merge, rapidly sublimating together, becoming increasingly powerful.
"Hmph!"
However, the others merely snorted coldly. Even so, they showed no fear, for this matter concerned the Ancient Monarch's great dao inheritance. No one was willing to give up.
Boom—
Both the Divine Kingdom's Lord and the Divine Kingdom's ancestor fully attacked. Their massive hands completely blotted out the sky, instantly covering the firmament, directly descending to envelop everything, displaying the pinnacle of a Heavenly King's power.
Although neither were true ten-heaven great circle Heavenly Kings, they were Heavenly Kings formed from divine spirit sources and the essence of Great Powers and Sovereigns. Their combat power naturally far surpassed ordinary peak Heavenly Kings, containing supreme great dao divine charm. They struck down, attacking the strongest among the ancient path trial-takers—the Blood Robe Tower Master, the Blood Desolation Eight Riders, and Ye Chen—to seize the fifth-level platforms in their possession.
"Shameless!"
Whether it was the Blood Robe Tower Master, the Stone Ancient King, the Blood Desolation Eight Riders, or Ye Chen, their expressions turned slightly cold. The Divine Kingdom's two strongest beings relied on their supreme cultivation to suppress them.
However, in a one-on-one fight, none of the Strongest Prodigies could be a match for either of them. Even though they were competing rivals, at this moment, their gazes met and instantly reached a unanimous decision—
Join forces and cooperate!
