"Hmph!"
With a rumble—
From the crown of Ye Chen's head, the Chaos Great Cauldron surged forth. Primordial Chaos Qi surged and intertwined, giving rise to myriad extraordinary phenomena, appearing truly extraordinary. One illusory world after another continuously formed and then shattered, everything appearing so transcendent.
Ye Chen slapped out with his palm, using the Chaos Great Cauldron to smash forward, colliding head-on with the Divine Nation's Ancestor and exploding with terrifying light.
The great cauldron trembled violently and flew back, tearing through the sky, but it was not shattered. In the end, it came to a stop, suspended in the heavens, accompanied by thousands upon thousands of strands of primordial Chaos Qi cascading down, appearing extraordinary.
Ye Chen stood atop the cauldron, light shining from between his brows as he released his powerful Chaos Saint Soul power. His entire aura instantly intensified many times over. He coldly gazed at the Divine Nation's Ancestor, who had already charged forward with a look of shock on his face, seemingly unable to comprehend why Ye Chen's soul was so powerful.
Boom—
Ye Chen attacked. Even if his dao techniques were almost completely suppressed, so what? At this altitude, the Divine Nation's Ancestor could not wield much dao technique power either. Moreover, Ye Chen's greater strength lay in his unparalleled and peerless Chaos Saint Body. Standing atop the cauldron, he charged forward, colliding head-on with the Divine Nation's Ancestor.
Boom—
The two collided, divine light exploded, and both were sent flying back.
The whole world was shocked. Ye Chen actually dared to clash head-on with the Divine Nation's Ancestor, who was an ancient Great Sage.
Yet Ye Chen's figure remained indestructible and immortal. The Divine Nation's Ancestor's attacks actually found it difficult to harm him, causing him to exclaim in astonishment, "Just who are you?"
Strands of primordial Chaos Qi cascaded down from Ye Chen's body, chaotic light intertwining as if an emperor had descended to the mortal world. He indifferently stated, "Battle Saint King!"
"Battle Saint King?"
Upon first hearing this name, many Ancient Path Trial-Takers looked bewildered, not understanding. However, after a moment, many found it somewhat familiar, as if they had heard it before.
"Battle Saint King, Battle Saint King... why does this name always feel so familiar?"
"That's right, it seems like I've heard it somewhere."
Many Ancient Path Trial-Takers showed expressions of doubt and surprise, feeling that this name had been heard on the Ultimate Ancient Path before, but it seemed too distant, hard to recall.
"Battle Saint King? Could it be him? The Battle Saint King of the human race from the Sealed Boundary Universe who swept through the fifth checkpoint of the Ultimate Ancient Path a hundred years ago?"
Among them, Ancient King Panshi exclaimed in shock. Even he, usually as steady as a rock and unperturbed, revealed a look of utter astonishment, staring in surprise at Ye Chen in the sky.
Hearing this, many Ancient Path Trial-Takers suddenly understood and then revealed shocked expressions.
Although that event was a full hundred years ago, it still circulated on the Ultimate Ancient Path to this day.
A hundred years ago, the human race's young generation's supreme, Battle Saint King from the Sealed Boundary Universe, had mistakenly entered the Ultimate Ancient Path. There, he competed for the Undying Immortal Spring, engaged in great duels with young supremes and even Imperial Sons from various ancient universes, carving out a mighty reputation single-handedly. He killed the alien young supreme Yin Ming, defeated Imperial Son Dark Prison, swept through a checkpoint with no match, possessing the great momentum of one invincible on the ancient path.
It was rumored he was the successor of the Battle Saint lineage, having broken through the vanished Heavenly Dao restriction of the tenth heaven in the Sealed Boundary Universe, achieving the tenth heaven, supreme and peerless.
However, after that battle a hundred years ago, the human race's young generation's supreme, Battle Saint King, disappeared, expelled from the Ultimate Ancient Path by its rules. Yet that battle from back then had shaken the entire Ultimate Ancient Path; who could forget it?
Now, the Battle Saint King, missing for a hundred years, had actually reappeared and was venturing on the Ultimate Ancient Path. Without a doubt, this was a major event that would put pressure on all Ancient Path Trial-Takers on the entire Ultimate Ancient Path, even those young supremes and Imperial Sons walking ahead.
After all, Battle Saint King might be the second Sovereign of Formlessness. How powerful was the Sovereign of Formlessness from the previous era? His invincible reputation still circulated on the Ultimate Ancient Path to this day; he was one who single-handedly made the Ultimate Ancient Path dare not claim supremacy.
Now, a young supreme of the Battle Saint lineage had reappeared, perhaps once again displaying the invincible might of the Sovereign of Formlessness from bygone years. This would also make all Ancient Path Trial-Takers on the Ultimate Ancient Path feel heavy-hearted, sensing boundless pressure.
Like the Blood Desolation Eight Riders, the Blood Garret Tower Master, Nine Swords King, and other top talents, they had already sensed that Ye Chen might be a young supreme and felt pressure. But now, learning his true identity was that Battle Saint King who once swept through the fifth checkpoint, the pressure was even greater. Even powerful as they were, they found it hard to catch their breath.
That was an invincible being who had killed a young supreme and suppressed an Imperial Son. Although his cultivation was only at the third level of Heavenly King for unknown reasons, it was undeniable that nothing could block his steps. He would soon rise again to the heights of a hundred years ago, perhaps even surpass them, chasing after those greatest enemies ahead.
Facing such an invincible being, they found it hard to catch their breath.
"Battle Saint King!?"
Clearly, the Divine Nation's Ancestor had also heard of Ye Chen's title. A hundred years ago, he had shaken the Ultimate Ancient Path, then suddenly left the ancient path and disappeared. Who would have thought he would set out on the path again, and now they had encountered him? It was truly astonishing.
However, the Divine Nation's Ancestor quickly recovered, coldly stating, "Even if you are the Battle Saint King, so what? You're merely a puny little Heavenly King at the third level. How dare you clamor before this venerable one? Prepare to die."
He pounced, all kinds of origin forces within his body boiling. The core Monarch origin force was especially powerful, causing the Divine Nation's Ancestor's combat power to climb once again.
Ye Chen stood atop the cauldron, primordial Chaos Qi swirling around his body. Without another word, he directly slammed down with his Heaven-Splitting Earth-Rending Fist, colliding with him.
Boom—
Only under these circumstances could Ye Chen clash head-on with an ancient Great Sage like the Divine Nation's Ancestor. Otherwise, without the suppression of the Monarch Laws, aside from extracting his original power from the Chaos origin light sphere, he had no other path to take.
Boom—
The two collided, and Ye Chen once again shot up into the sky, borrowing the force to soar into the heavens.
"How dare you!"
The Divine Nation's Ancestor charged upward, but when subjected to the boundless and overwhelming suppression of the great dao descending, his entire figure immediately halted, unable to continue ascending.
At the same time, Ye Chen blasted out the Chaos Great Cauldron, colliding with the Divine Nation's Ancestor. Boundless energy and might exploded with a roar, sending both flying apart. But Ye Chen once again borrowed the force to shoot skyward, wanting to kill his way up into the heavens.
When he reached nine hundred and fifty zhang, Ye Chen's upward momentum met great resistance. He even showed signs of exhaustion and depletion of strength.
If this continued, he would only be forcibly suppressed by the Monarch Laws of the great dao, and all his efforts would be completely wasted.
How could Ye Chen be willing to watch this happen?
With a roar, the Divine Phoenix Wings appeared behind him, entwined with primordial Chaos Qi, continuously flapping. His entire person instantly rose a large margin higher, fiercely breaking into the sky.
Nine hundred and sixty zhang!
Nine hundred and seventy zhang!
Nine hundred and eighty zhang!
Nine hundred and ninety zhang!
...
Nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang—
But when he reached this step, Ye Chen was already exhausted. The terrifying Monarch Laws fully blasted down, about to directly blast Ye Chen back down.
On the Monarch Divine Throne, the Ancient Monarch with flowing purple hair revealed a faint smile, looking down at Ye Chen charging upward.
"Ah—"
Ye Chen shouted, chaotic light soaring into the sky. He fiercely tore through the Monarch Laws, stomped one foot on the Chaos Great Cauldron, causing the laws to explode. His entire person abruptly rose another zhang, and his large hand instantly grasped the Monarch Divine Throne. He softly said, "I've won!"
