It must be said that Chaos Cultivators are a truly astonishing type of supreme powerhouse. No one could fail to be astonished. Even throughout the ages, they could be counted on one's fingers, and none had truly reached the absolute peak. Yet, when cultivated to the later stages, one could still step onto the pinnacle of the Great Dao.
There were even inheritors who, relying on the Chaos Great Dao, had reached heights not inferior to that of Emperors, becoming powerful to the extreme.
Ye Chen faced this indifferently.
"What a fine Chaos Cultivator, and a successor of the Battle Saint Lineage at that. If I can capture him, I believe the Hall Master of the Heavenly Hall will reward me, perhaps even bestow upon me more World Heavens and Earths, or even grant me the opportunity to be promoted to the Hall Master level." The Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power's eyes instantly blazed with fervor, as if gazing upon an endless treasure trove.
A Chaos Cultivator was far too precious. Whether it was the divine soul or the physical battle body, they were absolutely transcendent and priceless. For the entire Soul-Restraining Hall, they would undoubtedly be a treasured collection.
For a long time, the Soul-Restraining Hall had been carrying out a certain world-shaking, heaven-defying plan. If they could obtain a Chaos Cultivator, it would be of immense help to the progress of this plan. Those few supreme, terrifying existences within the Soul-Restraining Hall would inevitably be moved.
"Judging by your expression, you seem to truly want to capture me," Ye Chen spoke without reservation, smiling as he looked at his opponent, completely unconcerned.
"This seat is also rather curious. Your courage is not small either, actually not running away," said the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power.
"Why should I run?" Ye Chen had been smiling all along, appearing utterly calm and composed.
"Good courage. However, people who are usually this arrogant often don't end up well," the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power said.
"I think so too," Ye Chen replied, but his gaze turned towards the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power, causing the latter to be momentarily stunned before quickly realizing—the other party clearly also considered him an arrogant person. He immediately laughed in extreme anger.
"Hmph! Let's see if you can still be so glib in the end."
The Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power snorted coldly, no longer speaking, and began to truly make his move. Raising the Sun-Destroying Heavenly Halberd, he fiercely smashed it down. Boundless Great Dao Laws blasted forth, accompanied by infinite columns of light exploding, sweeping through the Spatial Turbulence.
Simultaneously, the eighteen World Heavens and Earths around his body manifested massive world phantoms, each one truly heavy as billions of jun, capable of crushing the heavens and shattering everything, charging towards Ye Chen's location.
*Swish—*
Ye Chen stepped forth with the Boundary-Traversing Secret Technique, a peerless immortal speed technique created by the Formless Sovereign. Especially when executed by a successor of the Battle Saint Lineage like him, it was pushed to its extreme.
Primordial Chaos Qi transformed into numerous great worlds. He traversed among them as if walking through the myriad realms of the heavens, impervious to all techniques, not a single leaf touching his body. All of his opponent's attacks actually found it difficult to strike him, causing the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power's expression to change. Truly worthy of being a successor of the Battle Saint Lineage, and truly worthy of being a Chaos Cultivator—indeed astonishingly powerful.
With another *swish*, Ye Chen passed through the layers of world phantoms, actively descending before the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power. His body wreathed in Primordial Chaos Qi, accompanied by chaotic light, the Chaos Great Cauldron directly blasted forth, sheets of Primordial Chaos Qi exploding.
The Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power snorted coldly, brandishing the Sun-Destroying Heavenly Halberd to meet the attack.
*Boom—*
Cauldron and halberd collided, exploding into clusters of destructive light that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, annihilating everything.
The two supreme powerhouses were clashing.
Although the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power was very powerful, far more so than an ordinary Great Power, the current Ye Chen was also somewhat stronger than a typical Great Power. Moreover, the Primordial Chaos Qi could grind away everything, returning and annihilating all Dao and techniques, greatly diminishing the Great Dao Laws blasted over by his opponent. Impervious to all techniques, Ye Chen could be called a peerless Chaos invincible.
Wind follows the dragon, clouds follow the tiger. Beneath Ye Chen's feet, a golden Great Dao spread out. To the left, the Azure Dragon; to the right, the White Tiger; above, the Vermilion Bird; below, the Black Tortoise—the four holy beasts all manifested. He was like an Emperor patrolling the Great Era, or like a Chaos War God waging battle. In his hand, the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd appeared.
Clearly, the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power also recognized it and quickly understood: "I see now. The Chaos Great Power in Cosmic Heaven City was actually you."
"You are correct," Ye Chen said with a light laugh.
"What a fine Chaos Great Power. No, you are not a true ancient Great Sage, but you are indeed powerful enough to battle an ancient Great Sage at the Heavenly King realm. Even a young generation's supreme would find it difficult to accomplish. Only a Chaos young supreme like you could do it." The Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power's expression was gloomy, yet the fervor in his eyes grew even more intense. The more this was the case, the more it proved the other party's immense value.
If successfully captured, it would undoubtedly be of immense help to the Soul-Restraining Hall's future plans.
Ye Chen chuckled lightly. "It seems you really want to capture me. But can you do it?"
"Hmph!" The Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power snorted coldly, saying nothing more. He brandished the Sun-Destroying Heavenly Halberd and actively charged over, with boundless Great Power laws blasting forth like a tidal wave, submerging the sky, comprehensively assaulting Ye Chen.
This was the strongest battle at the Great Power level.
When had Ye Chen ever feared? He took the initiative to attack. His Primordial Chaos Qi blazed brilliantly, destroying all Great Dao Laws. The Chaos Great Cauldron was heavy as billions of jun, crushing everything. He also raised the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, clashing with his opponent. The two continuously battled within the Spatial Turbulence, with infinite columns of light constantly exploding.
At the same time, back in the ancient battlefield, the two Soul-Restraining Hall Great Powers both changed color simultaneously. It wasn't because of Ye Chen in the Spatial Turbulence—the void had now repaired itself, and the two Great Powers believed in that mysterious Great Power, unaware of the fierce battle erupting within the turbulence.
What made them change color now was that outside the Sovereign's fragmented world, another supremely powerful Great Power aura was manifesting. It was the Guardian Great Ability from the second checkpoint, and behind him came a group of Ultimate Ancient Path soldiers, including that powerful commander. Having received the divine soul transmission, they had already rushed over.
Seeing the scene on the ancient battlefield, the Guardian Great Ability's expression immediately changed slightly. He looked coldly at Jiu Ruo Great Power and the withered Great Power, saying icily, "The people of the Soul-Restraining Hall truly never give up. Two Great Powers have actually come."
"Senior, it's not just two Great Powers. There's an even more powerful Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power who charged into the Spatial Turbulence, found the Sovereign's secret treasure world, and is contending for the Sovereign's fortune," the Blood-Clad Tower Lord hurriedly spoke up, also informing him of the various events during the trial.
"What!?"
The Guardian Great Ability changed color. Although he learned that Ye Chen had obtained the Sovereign's inheritance, the thought of that Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power wreathed in eighteen World Heavens and Earths taking action made him unable to help but pale. That was a super Great Power renowned even on the Ultimate Ancient Path. He never expected him to have come as well. This time, it was troublesome.
*Rumble—*
At that moment, the void was violently torn apart. Within it, two supremely terrifying auras swept across the sky, drawing the attention of everyone present.
