Boom—
Ye Chen swung his Heaven-Creating Earth-Forging Fist, aiming directly for the head of the Eight-Armed Great Power.
If this punch landed, even a powerful Great Power like the Eight-Armed Great Power, who was above the Fivefold Heaven, would be killed. Because the attack targeted the head, once the divine soul within the Muddy Pellet Palace was slain, not even an Emperor could resurrect him.
Although the Eight-Armed Great Power was caught off guard, he was, after all, a mighty Great Power of his generation. At this moment, he still reacted swiftly, shifting his head slightly to the side.
Pfft—
Blood light exploded. Half of the Eight-Armed Great Power's head was blasted apart. Blood light mixed with specks of white radiance scattered in all directions. His divine soul trembled violently, nearly torn apart and shattered completely.
At the same time, Ye Chen's combat instinct was astonishingly powerful. His Heaven-Creating Earth-Forging Fist followed through downward, striking the Great Power's body and forcefully tearing it apart, shattering it completely.
Boom—
Blood light erupted. The once-mighty Fivefold Heaven Great Power, the Eight-Armed Great Power, now had only half a head flying away; his remaining body was utterly pulverized.
Furthermore, the Chaos Cauldron descended, swallowing everything and refining it all. From within, a vermilion pill the size of an infant's fist fell out, swirling with vast, radiant light and accompanied by astonishing phenomena.
All this happened in the briefest of moments. The combat speed of super-powerful experts of this level was so fast that many Heavenly Kings couldn't even clearly see what happened before the battle ended. A supreme Great Power of the Soul-Restraining Hall had his body blown apart by Ye Chen, leaving only half a head sent flying backward, a sight that left everyone dumbfounded.
Ye Chen wanted to press his advantage, but the Void Realm Great Power and the other six Soul-Restraining Hall Great Powers charged forward fiercely, leaving Ye Chen with no choice but to stop. He let out a soft sigh: "What a pity!"
Yet this soft sigh fell like a thunderclap, startling everyone into wide-eyed astonishment.
Naturally, all this was because Ye Chen was too ferocious. In the blink of an eye, he had reduced a supreme Great Power of the Soul-Restraining Hall to a shattered wreck, leaving only half a head in such a miserable state. It was simply too shocking.
One must know, that was a Great Power above the Fivefold Heaven, not an ordinary Great Power who had just stepped into this realm. Yet he ended up so pitiful, nearly beaten to smithereens by someone. It was truly awe-inspiring.
"Battle Saint King, you have some nerve!"
The other Great Powers of the Soul-Restraining Hall had gloomy expressions. They hadn't even captured Ye Chen yet, but he had almost killed one of them. It was truly detestable.
They were the Soul-Restraining Hall, one of the most powerful forces in the entire Ancient Universe. For them to appear now and be pushed to such a state by a young generation's supreme was, if word got out, a blatant slap to the face, hard to bear.
Especially since this Great Power was one of their designated targets for capture.
They all charged forward, but Ye Chen retreated with a whoosh, arriving beside the Protector Great Power. This caused the Soul-Restraining Hall Great Powers to change color, naturally showing caution and not daring to attack immediately. They could only coldly say, "Battle Saint King, you are a young generation's supreme. Don't you dare take responsibility for your own actions and face us alone?"
"Idiot!"
Ye Chen spat out a single, light phrase, directly causing all the myriad realm powerhouses present to stare in shock. Who could have imagined that a supreme Chaos young generation's supreme would utter such crude words.
"You—"
The several supreme Great Powers of the Soul-Restraining Hall looked so gloomy it seemed water could drip from their faces. This detestable Battle Saint King was truly hateful. Not daring to come out was one thing, but now he was mocking them with such cold, sarcastic words.
The Void Realm Great Power sneered coldly, "Battle Saint King, you wish to prove your path to the Emperor's throne, yet you dare not face us. If it were any other young generation's supreme, I believe they would certainly step forward to face us. In the end, you still lack a truly invincible Dao Heart."
It must be said, using the Dao Heart of proving one's path as a threat would make even other young generation's supremes hesitate. But Ye Chen's Dao Heart was exceptionally firm; naturally, he would not waver.
However, among the other young generation's supremes, someone spoke up at this moment, sneering coldly: "Indeed. With an invincible Dao Heart, one naturally would not fear. If I had done it, I would admit it. Is this the invincible Battle Saint King? Truly cowardly."
"Don't go out!"
The Nine Phoenix Great Ability spoke. It wasn't that they didn't want to help, but because of this reason for going out, they couldn't intervene. They feared that stopping Ye Chen from going out would shake his Dao Heart even more intensely.
Ye Chen looked at that young generation's supreme. He was an unfamiliar young generation's supreme with nine-colored hair, a very special young generation's supreme who seemed to have some connection to an alien race. Ye Chen asked, "Who are you?"
The nine-haired young generation's supreme proudly declared: "I am Dao Jiu!"
Dao Jiu, a truly powerful young generation's supreme on the Ultimate Ancient Path, was also regarded by many as someone qualified to prove his path and become an Emperor in the future. It was said he had nearly cultivated the Transformation God Realm to Great Perfection, about to manifest the Tenth Heaven. He was a very powerful young generation's supreme.
Even other young generation's supremes would show caution when facing Dao Jiu.
Yet Ye Chen's gaze was indifferent: "Don't know him."
His tone was flat and plain, spoken very lightly. Yet it made many people unable to hold back their laughter, because the Battle Saint King simply didn't know him. This made Dao Jiu's expression turn gloomy and ugly, as if he had been publicly slapped in the face. Unable to bear it, he coldly snorted: "That's because you are ignorant and ill-informed."
Ye Chen did not reply. The young generation's supreme Dao Jiu snorted again: "If you dare not face the many experts of the Soul-Restraining Hall, then don't call yourself a young generation's supreme. You make us ashamed to be associated with you."
Ye Chen glanced at him indifferently: "And what are you, that you dare associate with me? I've killed no less than eight or ten of your kind. Petty people are always anxious."
The myriad realm powerhouses burst into laughter. What a sufficiently contemptuous attitude! But the Battle Saint King indeed had the qualification to speak like this, because the number of young generation's supremes who had died by his hand was nearly eight or ten. He was a terrifyingly strong Supreme killer.
"You—"
Dao Jiu's entire face turned a fluctuating shade of green and purple. Who was he? He was a young generation's supreme of his generation, a powerhouse representing an entire Ancient Universe venturing on the Ultimate Ancient Path. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? It was simply bullying too far.
"'You' what? If you have the guts, duel me. One on one. I won't use any weapons, and I'll give you both my feet and one hand." Ye Chen said, looking down upon him, walking with an air of supreme arrogance.
"Fine!"
Dao Jiu was also pushed to the limit. At this moment, he agreed, charging forward to arrive before Ye Chen. He said coldly, "Since you so wish to seek death, I'll send you to your death. But I hope you won't go back on your words just now."
Ye Chen smiled, very indifferently. As his words fell, the entire place fell silent: "To deal with you, I don't need to use my full strength."
