Ye Chen threw a punch to meet it head-on. The two collided, and with a deafening metallic clang, the void was torn asunder. Both figures were sent flying backward at incredible speed, causing nearby desolate mountains to collapse in a terrifying display.
It was clearly just a clash of physical strength, yet the collision between the two made the powerhouses feel their scalps go numb. It felt as if their divine abilities and dao principles were about to be shattered, unable to harm them in the slightest. Both were existences walking the path of invincible physical bodies.
In the midst of it, Ye Chen actually felt a slight numbness in his palm. Clearly, this great terror of the Ape Race was no ordinary horror; its physical strength was also immensely powerful. Otherwise, how could it make even his palm go numb?
This was the first time in so many years he had encountered such a powerful physical body. After all, his Chaos Saint Body was far stronger than the treasure bodies of ordinary Great Powers.
If he wasn't mistaken, this must be a Great Power of the Diamond Ape Clan. The Diamond Ape Clan was an ape race known for its supremely powerful physical bodies, especially when cultivated to the ancient Great Sage realm. Their bodies became astonishingly strong, practically peerless within the same realm and far surpassing other Great Powers.
Even without using dao techniques, they could tear and shatter everything.
He just hadn't expected Ye Chen to encounter such a fearsome Diamond Ape Clan Great Power here. It truly required his full concentration; he couldn't afford to underestimate such an existence.
Boom—
Ye Chen charged forward, colliding violently with the Ape Race great terror. With a whoosh, he shot across the sky, unleashing the Heaven-Shaking Hand from the Battle Saint Art. Its offensive power was peerless, shattering the vast heavens as it carried a boundless, world-destroying momentum, crashing down upon his foe.
Boom—
The Ape Race great terror's eyes glowed with a chilling blood-red light, a massive claw slashing toward Ye Chen's face.
Boom—
The two collided. However, Ye Chen himself remained unmoved, while the Ape Race great terror was sent flying backward, its hand splitting apart.
Even in close-quarters combat, a Great Power of the Diamond Ape Clan like this could not surpass Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Body in terms of physical treasure body. Moreover, the Ape Race Great Power only possessed an ultimate physical body; it had few dao techniques to speak of, unable to gain any advantage.
Ye Chen displayed a secret art. The Heavenly Roc's Eighteen Forms manifested, making him resemble a heavenly roc soaring through the sky. With a whoosh, he pierced through the air, then fully unleashed the Battle Saint Art. His close-combat prowess was peerless, shattering everything, pulverizing the heavens as he fiercely battled the Ape Race great terror.
After three hundred intense exchanges, Ye Chen swung his Heaven-Cleaving, Earth-Sundering Fist, piercing through the enemy's body. With brutal force, he directly tore the Ape Race great terror in two, blood staining the heavens and earth, the sky vast and boundless.
Ye Chen's strength shocked everyone else. No one had expected this young generation's supreme to be so overwhelmingly powerful, resolving a fearsome living being from the Star River so quickly. After all, that was a Great Power of the Diamond Ape Clan, renowned for its physical body. Even if it only retained its physical form, it was terrifying enough to battle ordinary Great Powers.
However, it was clear Ye Chen was still holding back, as he hadn't revealed his primordial Chaos Qi and hadn't exposed his identity. The identity of a Chaos cultivator was too shocking and also a trump card that could yield unexpectedly astonishing results at critical moments.
Yet others weren't so fortunate. The living beings from the Star River were each truly terrifying existences. In life, they were at least Great Powers of their generation. Even though their dao techniques had been greatly diminished, they remained boundlessly fearsome. Many of the powerhouses who had come to the Primordial Continent were torn apart and killed by these terrifying beings, their blood staining the continent. Their souls couldn't even escape calamity, being directly devoured.
Moreover, the army of Yin Soldiers had regrouped, charging alongside these terrifying beings to assault the powerhouses.
Other young generation's supremes were also fiercely battling these terrifying beings. For instance, Saint Tian, riding his sacred unicorn horse and clad in silver-white armor, appeared holy and transcendent. Holy Light surged around him as he continuously clashed with a ten-zhang-tall stone man.
That stone man had also been an ancient Great Sage in life, specifically a Stone Race Great Power. Its physical body was no less powerful than the Ape Race great terror. Saint Tian unleashed waves of Holy Light, containing the Myriad Transformations Saint Art, evolving layers of mountains and rivers, giving birth to stars. His methods were remarkably powerful and astonishing as he attacked with lightning speed.
He was a transcendent young generation's supreme, remaining composed and unflustered even when facing adversity, drawing sidelong glances from others.
Great Demon Gu Tian, a young generation's supreme as terrifying as a god or demon, fought with wide, sweeping movements. Behind him, a shocking dao diagram manifested—a truly illusory great world that enveloped the area as he battled a nine-headed serpent. The fight was extremely fierce, demonic light blooming to strike the heavens, surging across the sky, shattering everything.
Then there was the young generation's supreme from the Primordial Immortal Realm, Bei Ming Qi, accompanied by immortal qi, appearing transcendent and aloof. With each step, lotuses bloomed beneath his feet, giving rise to blossoms of Great Dao treasure lotuses that continuously flew out as he engaged the terrifying beings in combat...
Every young generation's supreme faced terrifying beings from the Star River, engaging in fierce battles. Clearly, none of them showed fear, and all retained sufficient hidden cards. This was the true terrifying aspect of young generation's supremes.
Furthermore, the Great Power ancestors from the various clans in the depths of the Star Sky, as well as the several supreme Guardian Great Powers from the Ultimate Ancient Path, also faced them.
Once they made their move, it was naturally even more terrifying. Great Power-level dao techniques surged with world-shaking power, summoning the vast might of the starry sky to blast forth. They even called upon the full array of stars, sending massive celestial bodies crashing down. The battle truly shattered heaven and earth, shaking the entire Primordial Continent.
Although these beings had basically only left behind their physical bodies, with their dao techniques almost annihilated, some were excessively terrifying. For example, that ancient ancestor of the Bright Clan actually retained its dao techniques, which were shockingly powerful.
Moreover, its eyes erupted with astonishing and eerie blood-red light that pierced through the sky. With a raise of its hand, brilliant light flourished—the ultimate divine ability of the Bright Clan was displayed, annihilating a swath of powerhouses. Among them were trial-takers from the ancient path, all exploding into clouds of blood mist. It was utterly horrifying.
On another side, there was also an extremely terrifying being with nine heads—wolf head, tiger head, dragon head... nine heads attached to a single body. Its form possessed the characteristics of all nine heads, terrifying to the extreme. Not only was its physical body powerful, but it also preserved dao and law might not inferior to that of a Great Power, far stronger than the other living beings that had emerged from the Star River, comparable to the ancient ancestor of the Bright Clan.
The nine-headed being directly injured a Great Power from a powerful clan in the depths of the Star Sky, blood splattering across the Primordial Continent. In the end, it was a Guardian Great Power from the Ultimate Ancient Path who stepped forward to block it, unleashing a heaven-piercing secret art. An invincible divine form manifested throughout the heavens as they engaged in a great battle.
These beings that had emerged from the Star River were unimaginably terrifying, far beyond expectations. Their strength was somewhat astonishing, enough to annihilate everything. Everyone fought with all their might, the great battle continuing, erupting in full force.
At this moment, Ye Chen had already slain the second terrifying being from the Star River. Holding a lifeless head in his hand, he stood tall in the high sky, his clothes unstained by blood. Gazing into the distance at that terrifying abyssal chasm that devoured the brilliant Star River and plunged heaven and earth into darkness, primordial Chaos Qi surged within his eyes, interwoven with Great Dao runes.
