Roar—
The Crimson Dragon, its body clad in scarlet scales, charged forward first. It was a terrifying sight, stretching a full ten thousand li in length, wreathed in blazing flames that could easily incinerate the myriad realms, its heat melting the very heavens.
This was a Crimson Dragon condensed from the Great Dao of Fire, representing Overlord Taiyi's comprehension and understanding of the fire element.
The ten-thousand-li Crimson Dragon snaked through the sky, opening its bloody maw to tear down at Ye Chen.
Whoosh—
Ye Chen shot straight up into the air. The terrifying nature of his Chaos Saint Body was displayed in full, far more powerful than imaginable. Even a True Dragon manifested by Taiyi was no match. They collided directly, yet even a sea of immortal flames could hardly harm his true form.
Moreover, Chaos Dao techniques could dissolve everything, returning all to their primal state. All ten thousand Daos returned to chaos, making it difficult to inflict significant damage upon him.
He executed the Battle Saint Technique, brandishing the Heaven-Shaking Hand. His crystalline, jade-like palm chopped down from above, directly shattering the great heavens and earth.
Boom—
The Crimson Dragon let out a shrill roar, directly cleaved into two segments by the Heaven-Shaking Hand. Blood light erupted skyward, appearing incredibly real before dispersing into a sky full of scarlet flames. Countless crimson Great Dao Runes flickered and shone.
Ye Chen directly steered the Chaos Great Cauldron, charging over and drawing a swath of Great Dao Runes into the cauldron. He clearly intended to study his opponent's Fire Dao.
Taiyi merely snorted coldly, not moving from his spot. He still only used the four True Dragons manifested from his fingers to sweep towards Ye Chen, watching with a cold eye.
The Water Dragon shook its body, transforming into a vast expanse of azure ocean that cascaded down, carrying an extreme chill capable of freezing heaven and earth.
The Yellow Dragon represented the earth, heavy and solid, suffused with overwhelming yellow light, immeasurably weighty, capable of crushing the myriad heavens...
The four True Dragons of Metal, Wood, Water, and Earth traversed the sky, each one terrifying, possessing combat power at least at the level of a fifth-level Great Power. They clashed with Ye Chen, exploding into a sky full of multicolored divine light, a dazzling spectacle.
Ye Chen roamed the skies, continuously attacking, directly slaying one True Dragon after another. He repeatedly opened the Chaos Great Cauldron, collecting numerous Great Dao Runes, intent on studying his opponent's mastery of the Five Elements Dao.
"Interesting. Let's see how long you can last," Taiyi snorted coldly. This time, he crossed the severed sky, directly closing in. His power instantly multiplied many times over. Dao techniques surged and blasted forth, giving rise to various Dao technique divine abilities. Countless beings from the myriad realms manifested, all directly bombarding Ye Chen.
Even more astonishingly, a vast and mighty sea of tribulation light and thunder appeared, flooding the heavens. Taiyi had actually managed to manifest this as well, descending from the sky to directly strike Ye Chen.
"So strong."
Even Ye Chen had to admit his opponent's power. After all, this was an ultimate Overlord of the Ultimate Ancient Path. It would be unreasonable if he didn't possess several supreme methods.
Ye Chen plunged into it, struggling through it as if enduring a tribulation of old. However, having survived numerous terrifying great tribulations, even this powerful sea of tribulation light and thunder couldn't truly harm him much.
Boom—
Ye Chen broke free and actively charged towards Taiyi, wielding the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, ready for a true battle. Emperor's might erupted in full.
Faced with a supreme Emperor's weapon that had awakened threads of Emperor's might, even an Overlord of the Ultimate Ancient Path couldn't take it lightly. After all, he wasn't a true Ancient Sovereign yet and dared not receive a supreme Emperor's weapon bare-handed.
However, as one of the supreme Overlords on the Ultimate Ancient Path, Taiyi obviously wouldn't lack truly world-shaking treasures. While he couldn't possess a supreme Emperor's weapon like Ye Chen's Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, he did possess a rather peerless battle weapon.
He opened his mouth and spat. With a whoosh, a green light shot out. It was a gourd, entirely jade-green and crystalline, inscribed with Dao diagrams of myriad realm beings, ancient scripts glowing. Now, it radiated a blazing Sovereign's heavenly might.
Without a doubt, this was a Sovereign Immortal Weapon. Under Taiyi's awakening, its power was immense, arguably not inferior to Ye Chen's awakened Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd.
The two peerless battle weapons collided, exploding with infinite destructive light that flooded the Emperor World, sweeping across all directions for tens of thousands of li.
Sovereign Xuelan and Sovereign Yan couldn't stand by. They intervened, blocking the vast majority of the destructive divine might, tearing through the void to bury this destructive power into the endless spatial turbulence. Otherwise, it would have been an unparalleled catastrophe for everyone present.
Taiyi ultimately showed some apprehension, not daring to directly clash the Azure Sky Gourd against the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, fearing it might be pierced. After all, the opponent's weapon was a supreme Emperor's weapon, incomparable. He could only rely on the emitted peerless divine might for indirect collisions.
It must be said that Taiyi was truly powerful, his Dao might peerless and unmatched. Now, he displayed his most powerful Dao techniques, truly suppressing the myriad realms. With no Ancient Sovereigns present, he was virtually unmatched across the heavens. He launched a direct strike at Ye Chen, within which thousands of Dao laws surged forth, making even Ye Chen deeply wary.
Even though Ye Chen possessed the most powerful Chaos Dao techniques, capable of dissolving all laws, it wasn't enough. His opponent's Dao techniques were too powerful. It was like an attack from a Great Power; a Saint, even with Chaos techniques, couldn't completely dissolve it.
The gap between Ye Chen and Taiyi was roughly the difference between a Saint and a Great Power. The chasm between a Heavenly King and a Great Power was vast, and Taiyi had terrifyingly reached the pinnacle of the Great Power realm. This wasn't merely a difference of one major realm.
The disparity between them was like heaven and earth. This was something Ye Chen, for now, couldn't change.
Fortunately, Ye Chen had the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd. Awakening it boosted his combat power sharply. However, he had been continuously consuming the Great Power Pills refined earlier. The duel with Taiyi was too wasteful of Dao power. He couldn't remain relaxed and natural; he needed to be fully prepared at all times, constantly expending vast amounts of divine power. Moreover, the Chaos Dao techniques were also awakening, making the situation even more astonishing.
"Myriad Realms Heavenly Stele!"
Taiyi's voice turned cold. At this moment, his palm suddenly transformed, actually changing into a terrifying heavenly stele. The stele was pitch-black, engraved with numerous Great Dao Runes. Among them appeared various ancient holy spirits like the Kunpeng, Phoenix, Heavenly Dragon, and Qiongqi.
Now, Ye Chen also understood that whether it was True Dragons, Phoenixes, Kunpengs, or other mythical holy spirits, they all originally appeared in the Chaos Sea, born as the strongest beings from chaos, not inferior to Emperors. Hence, all ancient universes knew of their existence.
Ye Chen let out a long roar. He also activated his supreme Dao and techniques, his power boiling over instantly. He unleashed chaos, executing the Heaven-Creating Earth-Forging Fist, directly striking the heavenly stele. Within it appeared the four mythical holy spirits: Green Dragon on the left, White Tiger on the right, Vermilion Bird above, and Black Tortoise below. Following that, great world after great world continuously manifested.
At this level, the Heaven-Creating Earth-Forging Fist was no longer just evolving a single great world; it was evolving towards a universe. Perhaps that was the ultimate path of the Heaven-Creating Earth-Forging Fist, or perhaps not yet.
Nevertheless, this Heaven-Creating Earth-Forging Fist directly struck the Myriad Realms Heavenly Stele. One great world after another continuously derived, then collided explosively.
Boom—
The myriad heavens shattered, and the entire ruined Emperor World trembled, drawing the gazes of all the powerful experts. This could almost be called a clash between a future Overlord of the Ancient Path and a current Overlord.
Although the Battle Saint King couldn't match Taiyi, it was merely a difference in realm. If the two were in the same major realm, this wouldn't be such a one-sided battle, but rather the ultimate peak battle on the Ultimate Ancient Path.
Ye Chen was incomparably domineering, his entire aura rising sharply, climbing level by level. He instantly unleashed the Human Sovereign Seal. His entire being seemed to transform into a Human Sovereign who looked down upon the myriad domains, not merely a Human King.
The Supreme Human Sovereign, throughout the ages, was infinitely close to the Emperor Supreme, possibly not inferior to that level of supreme existence, truly the being above all living things.
Ye Chen transformed into the Supreme Human Sovereign, his majesty unparalleled, his aura shaking the world. In his hand appeared a sword. On the left were imprints of the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers; on the right were imprints of the myriad heavenly stars. This was the Human Sovereign Saint Sword, said to be able to sever past and present, shatter the ages—an Emperor's Saint Sword, now also simulated.
Naturally, the Human Sovereign Saint Sword contained the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd within, making it even more terrifying.
At this moment, Ye Chen seemed to have completely fused with the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, a special resonance occurring between them. The Emperor's might amplified Ye Chen, his combat power instantly multiplying many times over, approaching Taiyi's level.
Now, his black hair flowed loosely, his eyes containing the Chaos Sea, gazing through past and present, supreme and peerless, possessing a supreme demeanor that could command the submission of all living beings. He strode forward, directly facing Taiyi, brandishing the Human Sovereign Saint Sword in his hand. From above, he delivered a single slash.
This sword could truly be called stunning across past, present, and future. It severed the ages, illuminated time and space, as if it could cleave the entire ruined Emperor World in two. It was utterly terrifying.
"What a powerful sword!"
Even Overlord Taiyi's expression changed slightly, for this sword was indeed dazzlingly brilliant and powerful. Even someone as strong as him dared not underestimate it.
But who was Taiyi? He was an Overlord of the Ultimate Ancient Path, his treasure body supremely strong, his Great Dao laws terrifying beyond imagination. Wielding the Azure Sky Gourd, he formed a world-shaking divine ability. From the Azure Sky Gourd, a dazzling, peerless immortal light erupted, like the first immortal light born at the dawn of creation, carrying the aura of the Primordial Beginning, accompanied by worlds in the process of evolution, directly striking that sword.
Boom—
The strongest attacks of the two supreme beings collided. Within, endless brilliant beams of light shot out in all directions, flooding the six directions and eight wildernesses. Even several peak Great Powers had to change expressions, for this could already threaten their existence.
The two Ancient Sovereigns' pupils constricted to needle points.
It was as if the myriad realms were about to collapse. This was the strongest collision, surpassing all previous ones.
Within, both were impacted. Both Ye Chen and Taiyi coughed up blood, even staining the void with blood light.
However, both were extraordinary. Taiyi's treasure body was supremely strong, and Ye Chen possessed the Chaos Saint Body. Both endured.
But Ye Chen's expression suddenly changed. He wanted to continue attacking but couldn't, forced to retreat from his peak sublimation state, appearing increasingly weak.
"Damn it!"
Even Ye Chen hadn't expected the period of weakness to appear at this moment. Helplessly, he retreated, immediately consuming a Great Power Pill. However, at that very moment, Taiyi instantly closed in, radiant with light, seizing the perfect opportunity to launch a full-force strike at Ye Chen.
Boom—
Even someone as powerful as Ye Chen couldn't block it immediately. His opponent was too fast, catching Ye Chen off guard. Ye Chen's right chest was shattered, his entire body covered in bloody cracks, nearly exploding completely, torn asunder.
Swoosh—
Ye Chen activated the Saint Body Regeneration Technique from the Battle Saint Technique. The injuries within his body began to heal rapidly, but it wasn't enough. His recovery speed was indeed fast, but Taiyi was faster. Dao techniques surged violently, directly blasting Ye Chen's body apart, blood light erupting.
Ye Chen had been blown apart!
Everyone was stunned, unable to believe that the peerlessly domineering Battle Saint King had fallen to such a state. It was truly hard to believe. After all, earlier, Ye Chen had single-handedly slain eight young Supremes and beheaded eight Ancient Great Powers of the Soul-Forbidden Hall, displaying overwhelming dominance and majesty. Now, he had been blown apart. It was truly unexpected.
"Let's see how you escape this time!"
Taiyi's gaze was icy as he charged towards Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Soul, instantly shattering the Chaos Great Cauldron as well, blasting it into pieces.
Gritting his teeth, Ye Chen was about to rush into the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin to avoid disaster. Currently, only the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin could truly help him block the attack. He also prepared to burn part of the faith power he had brought, boosting his power to the limit to summon the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd back.
Suddenly, all his actions halted. He looked coldly at Taiyi and said, "You will regret this."
"Regret? Ridiculous. I, Taiyi, never regret anything I do."
Taiyi snorted coldly, about to make his move to completely capture Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Soul. But at that moment, an immortal light approached at an astonishing speed, accompanied by a vast, peerless fluctuation that swept out in all directions. With a whoosh, it charged over, overwhelming heaven and earth as it struck Taiyi.
The terror of this strike was such that even a peak Great Power would suffer severe injuries if hit.
How could Taiyi dare be careless? He instantly turned, also unleashing a supreme strike that collided explosively with the incoming attack, both exploding and shaking the ruined Emperor World.
"Who is it!?" Taiyi shouted coldly.
"Me—" A graceful figure descended, accompanied by a supreme-level aura. Her red lips parted slightly, her voice like heavenly music, yet carrying boundless killing intent that made the entire Emperor World feel desolate. "If you dare harm a single hair on his head, I will make you die without a burial place!"
