"Don't even think about it!"
The Nine-headed Great Serpent was naturally unwilling. With a furious roar, all nine of its serpent heads spewed forth nine dazzling beams of Great Dao light, crashing forward.
However, Gong Xuan merely snorted coldly. With a shake of his large hand, he unleashed a vast expanse of Great Dao laws, actually managing to forcefully block all nine beams of Great Dao light. Employing his true strength, he gave another fierce shake, completely shattering them.
Yet his large hand was also destroyed in the process.
Gong Xuan's expression darkened slightly. With a cold snort, he charged forward directly, displaying an even more powerful divine ability. A massive, illusory expanse of Heaven and Earth rapidly expanded—this was Gong Xuan's Origin Heaven and Earth. He clearly intended to capture the Nine-headed Great Serpent directly into his personal realm.
The Nine-headed Great Serpent also opened its own Origin Heaven and Earth.
The two illusory realms collided violently, causing the entire Trial Ancient Pass to rumble incessantly as space continuously crumbled.
If it weren't for the Trial Ancient Pass itself, everything would have shattered long ago.
However, Gong Xuan's realm was more powerful. It directly shattered the Nine-headed Serpent's illusory realm, causing it to disintegrate inch by inch, which made the serpent's expression change drastically.
"Master!"
The Nine-headed Serpent urgently called out; otherwise, it would be completely enveloped.
Whoosh—
At that very moment, a heroic and slender figure suddenly interposed itself between them. It was none other than Ye Chen, his expression slightly cold. "Enough. Stop."
Upon seeing him, Gong Xuan recognized the long-famed Battle Saint King but sneered, "So you're the Battle Saint King. But you're only at the first level of Great Power. It seems your reputation is unfounded. You're not that impressive. Enter this seat's Origin Heaven and Earth along with your subordinate and submit to me."
His Origin Heaven and Earth expanded even more massively. The immense power of Heaven and Earth surged forth, sealing the sky and locking the earth, directly enveloping both Ye Chen and the Nine-headed Great Serpent, attempting to pull them into his personal realm.
Seeing Ye Chen completely enveloped by Gong Xuan's illusory realm, many people were first stunned, then couldn't help but shake their heads in disappointment.
They had thought the Battle Saint King was powerful, capable of truly battling these Ancient Path Minor Overlords. Yet, he was about to be suppressed within an Origin Heaven and Earth with a mere gesture. The so-called prestige of the Battle Saint King was probably just empty fame, exaggerated by others.
However, the other two Ancient Path Minor Overlords suddenly changed their expressions. "Third Brother, be careful!"
The next moment, they saw Ye Chen looking indifferently at Gong Xuan. "You've overstepped. Do you really think you're someone important, daring to take me in?"
Boom—
Visible to the naked eye, Ye Chen suddenly made his move. With a fierce shake of his body, four Holy Spirit phantoms erupted from him, representing the four origin powers of earth, water, fire, and wind. These four terrifying Holy Spirit phantoms seemed to have crossed time from the Mythological Era, possessing world-shaking Great Dao combat power. They tore through the vast illusory realm, carrying Ye Chen and the Nine-headed Great Serpent out.
Simultaneously, Ye Chen shot forward with a whoosh, directly appearing before Gong Xuan at an astonishing speed, like a deity descending to the mortal world. Without a word, he threw out an Immortal Saint Fist, carrying surging ancient Chaos energy. Worlds and realms seemed to manifest, as if countless epochs and myriad realms were jointly suppressing Gong Xuan.
"So strong!"
Gong Xuan's expression changed on the spot. He could fully sense the terrifying power of Ye Chen's punch, shocking him. He hurriedly moved to block, unleashing a brilliant immortal light, as if an immortal spirit were emerging. It contained powerful divine abilities and techniques—a divine ability from the Immortal Realm.
"Break!" Ye Chen coldly spat out a single word. With a deafening roar, his figure remained unmoving like a mountain, standing firm without retreating a single step. In contrast, Gong Xuan was sent flying, staggering back over a hundred steps before steadying himself. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his right arm was broken. He stared at Ye Chen in shock.
In fact, it wasn't just him. Even the other two Ancient Path Minor Overlords and everyone in the city were dumbfounded.
Gong Xuan was actually no match for the Battle Saint King?
The five Ancient Path Heaven's Pride talents who had initially provoked were even more horrified. Was this Battle Saint King really this powerful? Even their master, hailed as an Ancient Path Minor Overlord, was not his opponent?
Ye Chen took a large stride, charging toward Gong Xuan. However, at that moment, another supremely powerful figure appeared. It was another Ancient Path Minor Overlord, whose aura erupted, not weaker than Gong Xuan's, perhaps even stronger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
In the blink of an eye, the two engaged in a series of collisions. Divine light and immortal light shone brilliantly, shattering the surrounding void as countless Great Dao ripples spread out.
Yet, Ye Chen's figure remained unmoving like a mountain, while the other Ancient Path Minor Overlord was forced back, retreating at least a thousand zhang. He stared at Ye Chen in shock.
So strong!
This Ancient Path Minor Overlord's expression turned grave. He knew he was at least not weaker than Gong Xuan, yet in that frontal collision, he had still been at a disadvantage, which was enough to prove the Battle Saint King's formidable power.
Of course, he hadn't truly revealed his full strength either.
"Do you also wish to die?"
Ye Chen spoke coldly, carrying a sharp killing intent that enveloped the entire 39th Trial Ancient Pass. It felt as if the entire pass had instantly turned icy cold, sending a chill down everyone's spine.
Such terrifying killing intent!
The second Ancient Path Minor Overlord naturally would not back down. He wore a divine crown, had a slender build, and was enveloped in seven layers of divine radiance. His name was Gong Nanshan. He looked coldly at Ye Chen and said, "You are not qualified. Daring to harm my brother—it is you who wishes to die."
He stepped forward, an even more intense Great Dao aura erupting from his body, sweeping across the sky. Each of the seven layers of divine radiance shone with a different color—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple—layer upon layer, appearing extremely fearsome. Terrifying celestial phenomena began to manifest.
The Trial Ancient Pass trembled violently. Truly worthy of being an Ancient Path Minor Overlord, he was indeed terrifying.
Boom—
Simultaneously, a divine sword appeared in Gong Nanshan's hand. It was seven chi long, exceptionally lengthy. Layers of seven-colored divine light were imbued into the sword as he directly thrust it at Ye Chen.
With this single sword strike, an ordinary Great Power would undoubtedly perish.
Yet, the corner of Ye Chen's mouth lifted into a cold arc as he leaped forward.
Boom—
It was as if a human-shaped True Dragon had crossed the sky. The entire world trembled, seemingly unable to withstand his presence, on the verge of heaven collapsing and earth splitting apart. A terrifying aura erupted overwhelmingly, causing hearts to tremble with fear.
Ye Chen traversed the sky. A war spear appeared in his hand—a weapon he had obtained, belonging to some supreme Heaven's Pride talent. He brought it down from above, simple and direct, yet it seemed to carry the weight of countless worlds, terrifyingly excessive.
All eyes were fixed on them. Everyone wanted to know who was stronger in this frontal clash between two supreme powerhouses.
"Halt!"
However, just as the two supreme powerhouses were about to collide head-on, a streak of immortal light suddenly shot between them, so fast that many Heaven's Pride talents in the Trial Ancient Pass hadn't even reacted. They only saw an elegant figure abruptly insert itself between the two, its entire body erupting with boundless immortal light, vast and mighty, carrying the most terrifying waves.
