"Dealing with a mere you, weak as an ant, is far from being called arrogance."
Taiyi sneered coldly, looking down at Ye Chen from above with an indifferent tone. "Although I would prefer you to surrender voluntarily, that way I wouldn't need to spend so much effort, and you wouldn't have to suffer so much pain. However, you are a successor of the Battle Saint lineage. Given the character of that lineage, it's highly unlikely you would agree. In that case, I can only personally take action, breaking every bone in your body one by one, suppressing you by my side, and slowly study the true fundamental secrets of Chaos."
Boom—
At the same time, the most terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from Taiyi's body, vast and unparalleled, far stronger than the pressure of an ordinary Great Power. It pressured the entire ruined Emperor Realm, almost comparable to the two Ancient Monarchs deep in the starry sky.
That's right, this was the true combat power of Overlord Taiyi.
Not inferior to the peak of Great Power, and he seemed to have already begun exploring the realm of a true Ancient Monarch.
"So strong!"
Even the other peak Great Powers had slight changes in their expressions.
Boom—
Another palm strike, but this was the true manifestation of Overlord Taiyi's Great Dao profundity. The Great Dao was unparalleled. A vast, boundless hand directly covered the sky, yet it contained supreme Great Dao laws. Within it, small heavens and earths were actually condensed, transforming into brilliant worlds, carrying unparalleled might as it grabbed towards Ye Chen.
Under this palm strike, even a five-heavens Ancient Great Power would be suppressed and killed.
Overlord Taiyi was too powerful!
Ye Chen let out a long roar. Among the younger generation, after experiencing countless great battles, he had never felt such terrifying pressure. It was almost the first time in his life, showing just how strong Taiyi's cultivation was.
However, even so, Ye Chen would not retreat. Because he was the invincible Battle Saint. This lineage was destined to be forceful and domineering, advancing courageously, fearing nothing. Therefore, no matter how strong Taiyi was, he could not be afraid. He could only face it head-on.
Moreover, Taiyi was so powerful. Such a peerless overlord of the Ultimate Ancient Path must have reached the pinnacle in Dao techniques, battle physique, and speed, achieving the utmost peak below the Ancient Monarch level. Even if Ye Chen mastered the astonishing immortal speed of the Boundary-Traversing Secret Art, it would likely be difficult to escape from his hands.
In that case, it was better to face him head-on. Perhaps there was still a sliver of hope for survival.
"Break!"
Ye Chen shouted lightly. He directly executed the Chaos Secret Art. His entire being ascended to the extreme, rising level by level, directly breaking into the Great Power realm. He also revived the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, integrating the ultimate profundity of the World-Creating Fist into the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd. His aura surged violently, and then he launched a full-force strike towards the vast, boundless hand in the sky.
Boom—
The Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, accompanied by illusory worlds and heavens, possessed the most majestic Great Dao divine power, condensed into a single point. The moment it collided with Taiyi's great hand, it instantly erupted.
Boom, boom, boom—
The collision between the two tore open the void, causing turbulence for who knows how many tens of thousands of li, resulting in a collapse of the void spanning hundreds of thousands of li. The Emperor Realm continent cracked open with numerous pitch-black and deep abyssal chasms, splitting apart. It was truly terrifying.
All the experts of the myriad heavens immediately turned and flew back, not daring to stay for long, avoiding being swept up by the residual waves from the collision between the two supreme powerhouses.
During the collision, Ye Chen's entire body was sent flying backwards, thrown over a thousand li away. He suffered a tremendous impact force, and the primordial Chaos Qi swirling around his body churned violently.
However, the Chaos Saint Body was unparalleled, forcibly enduring all the impact. He stood firm in the distant sky, holding the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, motionless, standing there. His black hair danced wildly in the wind, like an angry god.
In the sky, Taiyi's vast, boundless hand was also pierced through and even exploded, blood splattering, revealing stark white bones.
"Hmm?"
Taiyi let out a sound of surprise, as if he hadn't expected Ye Chen to be able to injure him, which made him somewhat astonished. But that was all. His palm, formed from Dao essence, quickly recovered. Looking down at Ye Chen from above, he revealed a hint of amazement. "As expected of a Chaos Young Supreme like that person, actually able to injure this seat while defying so many cultivation realms. Indeed somewhat extraordinary, pleasantly surprising me."
Ye Chen remained focused and vigilant. Although he had injured Taiyi, that was merely a hand condensed from the other's Dao essence, composed entirely of Great Dao laws that could be repaired at any time.
Moreover, although he seemed unharmed, the blood and energy within his body were constantly surging and boiling. He had already sustained certain injuries.
However, the Chaos Saint Body was unparalleled in the world, long capable of autonomously healing rapidly. With laws generating light, his primordial Chaos Qi continuously surged, his aura soaring to the heavens. His entire being grew powerful once again, and the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd once again pointed towards Taiyi from afar.
"You have indeed pleasantly surprised me. I will no longer suppress you; you can simply become my subordinate. In the future, if I achieve the Emperor or Sovereign realm, I will lead you to become a generation's Supreme Emperor. Are you willing?" Taiyi had developed a desire to recruit, personally extending an invitation.
If such a Chaos Young Supreme could be recruited as a subordinate, it would certainly be of great use to him. He could meticulously study the various profundities of the Chaos Great Dao, and also research its weaknesses, thereby dealing with that peerless Chaos Overlord at the very end of the Ultimate Ancient Path, increasing the hope of competing for the "Ultimate" in the final pass.
Moreover, especially importantly, perhaps he could also grasp the supreme profundities of the Chaos Great Dao from it, ultimately using it to achieve the Dao and become Emperor, transcending the Chaos Sea, achieving final eternity.
All the powerhouses sighed lightly. This was the Battle Saint King, the Chaos Young Supreme. His potential was so immense that even an peerless overlord like Taiyi on the Ultimate Ancient Path couldn't help but develop a desire to recruit, hoping to bring this Chaos Young Supreme under his command, becoming a follower for his future invincible path to Dao.
Everyone's gaze fell upon the Battle Saint King, wondering if he would agree. After all, this was an peerless overlord of the Ultimate Ancient Path. Even though the Battle Saint King was very powerful now, he was still many times inferior to such an existence.
If he didn't agree, perhaps today would witness the scene of a Chaos Young Supreme being slaughtered.
Although they believed that given the Battle Saint King's forceful and domineering nature, it was highly unlikely he would agree.
"No!"
Ye Chen naturally refused. He could not become anyone's subordinate, not even a true Emperor or supreme Immortal. Because he would absolutely have the qualification to impact the true Emperor realm, and possibly even transcend above the Emperor, achieving an eternal existence unparalleled throughout history. Who then would have the qualification to recruit a future Supreme One like him as a subordinate? Not even an Ultimate Ancient Path Overlord.
Taiyi was not disappointed. This answer was not unexpected. After all, he was also a Chaos Young Supreme, not inferior to an Emperor's Child of the same realm, very powerful, possessing the right to be proud. Yet, precisely because of this, it made the light in his eyes even more filled with blazing radiance. "Do you know, although your potential is limitless, you are ultimately only at the Heavenly King peak. If you do not agree with me, the final result is only death."
"Oh? Is that so?" Ye Chen sneered. So what if he was an peerless overlord of the Ultimate Ancient Path? Did he want to force him to become a subordinate?
Dream on!
He raised the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, his entire being's primordial Chaos Qi wantonly surging, sweeping majestically across all directions, extremely powerful and astonishing to the world. With the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd pointed at the other from afar: "Fight!"
