Whoosh—
Among them, the leaders were the Blood Desolation Eight Riders. They stood together on two Level Five Platforms, with the First and Second Riders separated, each leading three others. Riding on Fierce Beast Kings, they formed a fearsome battle formation and charged out first as the main attackers.
On the other side, the Blood Robe Tower Master, the Ancient Stone King, the Nine Swords King, and Ye Chen acted as feinting supports, also attacking the Divine Nation's Lord and the Divine Nation's Ancestor.
This was a terrifying chaotic battle, fought with intense ferocity.
The Blood Desolation Eight Riders were indeed powerful, each possessing formidable combat strength. The First and Second Riders, in particular, could be called the strongest prodigies. Combined, the eight riders formed a supreme team, and with the assistance of several other strongest prodigies, they were even more formidable.
Moreover, the Divine Nation's Ancestor did not attack. He transmitted a message for the Divine Nation's Lord to restrain these foremost prodigies while he went to deal with the remaining other powerful experts and seize the remaining platforms.
Boom—
It must be said that the Divine Nation's Lord, a sentient divine spirit source, was truly powerful. He was a Heavenly King at the Ninth Layer Peak, with a profound realm very close to the Dao, only a step away from being a powerful Ancient Great Power.
At this moment, standing on a Level Five Platform, he actively attacked the many strongest prodigies. His strikes were imbued with perfectly natural Dao Principles, containing majestic power. Streaks of brilliant divine radiance shot out, transforming into a dazzling ocean of divine light that flooded the sky and earth, simultaneously engaging several of the strongest prodigies of the ancient path in a fierce battle.
Even within this Sovereign's secret realm where Dao techniques were suppressed, he still appeared exceptionally powerful.
Boom—
A brilliant and blazing expanse of Great Dao laws spread out, impacting everyone. The Blood Desolation Eight Riders, the Blood Robe Tower Master, the Ancient Stone King, the Nine Swords King, and other strongest prodigies found it difficult to withstand this attack. Their figures, along with the Level Five Platforms beneath them, were rapidly forced back. Their faces paled, and traces of blood appeared at the corners of their mouths.
Only Ye Chen withstood it. His Chaos Saint Body was peerless and unparalleled. He secretly manifested wisps of primordial Chaos Qi, dissolving all law-based force.
However, at this moment, everyone simultaneously charged towards the Divine Nation's Lord in the center. But the Divine Nation's Lord possessed vast divine power. He executed a special and powerful secret art, channeling various radiant laws that actually prevented all platforms from approaching. No one could get close to him.
"This won't do. If we don't make a breakthrough, no one can defeat the Divine Nation's Lord!"
The First Rider of the Blood Desolation Eight Riders said solemnly. Although the strongest prodigies present were powerful, if this continued and the Divine Nation's Ancestor returned, the worst scenario would be the two supreme experts joining forces.
Now, they had to take advantage of the Divine Nation's Ancestor's departure to resolve the Divine Nation's Lord.
But saying this was one thing; actually getting close, let alone defeating the Divine Nation's Lord, was fundamentally difficult.
"You restrain him. I'll deal with him!"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed with cold lightning as he took the initiative to speak.
The Blood Desolation Eight Riders, the Ancient Stone King, and the other strongest prodigies were slightly taken aback but nodded. "We'll cover you. You take him head-on."
In an instant, the attacks from the various strongest prodigies intensified dramatically, greatly diverting the Divine Nation's Lord's attention.
At the same time, Ye Chen leaped high from his own Level Five Platform, crossing hundreds of zhang through the air in one bound and landing on the Level Five Platform where the Divine Nation's Lord stood.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Under the influence and suppression of the Sovereign's laws, he could still leap so far—it was practically the limit of the human body. His soaring jump was more like flying. With a whoosh, he shot through the distant sky, crossing over a thousand zhang to arrive behind the Divine Nation's Lord.
How powerful must his physical body be to accomplish this? At the very least, the Blood Desolation Eight Riders, the Blood Robe Tower Master, and even the two powerful experts, the Divine Nation's Lord and the Ancestor, likely could not do it. It was too difficult, bordering on impossible.
But at this very moment, Ye Chen had forcefully done it.
He crossed the long sky and landed with a whoosh on the Divine Nation's Lord's Level Five Platform, immediately attacking. He unleashed the full extent of his strongest combat power usable under the Sovereign law suppression. Various supreme divine abilities manifested in an instant, all incredibly potent, elevating his offensive force to its peak as he launched a violent assault.
"Brat, you have quite the courage. But daring to land before this king is your greatest mistake."
The Divine Nation's Lord snorted coldly. Who was he? A truly invincible peak Heavenly King expert. How dare a mere Third Layer Heavenly King approach and land before him? It was simply seeking death.
With a wave of his hand, a terrifying expanse of divine radiance blasted out. Great Dao laws filled the sky, streaks of divine light cascaded down, flooding forward and tearing through the nine heavens—it was the most fearsome attack.
The two collided, tearing the firmament asunder.
However, the Blood Desolation Eight Riders, the Blood Robe Tower Master, the Ancient Stone King, and the Nine Swords King all attacked simultaneously, launching fierce assaults. All of this was merely to restrain the Divine Nation's Lord, to allow Ye Chen to better deal with him.
At this moment, even as competitors, they could not deliberately sabotage things.
The Divine Nation's Lord's power was immediately restrained by more than half. But even so, he was still immensely powerful. A pair of divine wings sprouted from his back, formed from condensed Great Dao runes. They directly flapped and swept forward, accompanied by immeasurable Great Dao majesty, intimately close to the Dao itself. Their might was not ordinary in its terror.
Crack—
The void completely collapsed, and this space underwent terrifying turbulence.
Yet Ye Chen did not retreat half a step. On the contrary, he swung his Immortal Saint Fist and charged forward to meet it head-on.
"Seeking death!"
The Divine Nation's Lord roared. However, he did not see that, concealed beneath the divine radiance, Ye Chen's Immortal Saint Fist was accompanied by wisps of primordial Chaos Qi. Its might could be said to have increased by a large margin, directly shattering various Dao Principles and smashing into the Divine Nation's Lord's body.
Boom—
The Divine Nation's Lord's figure was sent flying back because this move was very strange and highly targeted.
Moreover, Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Body was far stronger than an ordinary Great Power-level treasure body. At the extreme of strength, naturally, even a peak Heavenly King expert like the Divine Nation's Lord, caught off guard, could hardly withstand a single punch.
Blood trickled from the corner of the Divine Nation's Lord's mouth, but it was the true essence of the divine spirit source, containing vast spiritual energy and manifesting various heavenly Dao charms, appearing extraordinarily extraordinary.
But after all, he was also a generation's peak Heavenly King, who had never known fear. He slapped out a palm, its Dao technique immeasurably vast, flooding the sky and earth as it blasted towards Ye Chen's location.
Whoosh—
Ye Chen chose to retreat immediately, flying sideways. With a leap, he landed back on his own Level Five Platform.
At the same time, Ye Chen looked distantly at the Divine Nation's Lord, the corner of his mouth slowly curling into a cold arc. "Explode!"
Boom—
A terrifying loud noise accompanied a brilliant explosion of light, originating from the Divine Nation's Lord's body.
