"Hmph, mere trifling tricks!"
The two Minor Overlords of the Ancient Path both snorted coldly. They acknowledged that the Battle Saint King was indeed powerful, but did he really think he could kill them with just two slaps?
Wishful thinking!
However, when they truly met those two slaps, their expressions changed drastically. They felt each palm force was a thousand li in size, and not just that—it was as if each contained a chaotic world, infused with myriad transforming traces of the Great Dao, supremely profound and boundlessly terrifying.
Both hurriedly activated their divine abilities to resist, roaring as they did so. Their immortal auras blazed many times brighter, unleashing their true power.
Boom! Boom!—
The starry sky exploded. The figures of the two Minor Overlords were sent flying, tumbling deep into the cosmos, tens of thousands of li away from this place. Countless Ancient Path Talents watched, dumbfounded.
Strong! Too strong!
Two simple slaps had actually sent two Minor Overlords flying. What kind of majestic, peerless, terrifying combat power was this?
Just what realm had the Battle Saint King ascended to?
But how could they know that those simple slaps contained Ye Chen's profound comprehension of Chaos? Chaos could shatter all Dao principles, inherently suppressing all laws of the Great Dao, and had caught the two Minor Overlords completely off guard.
It was precisely because of this that Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan were blasted away.
After all, they were no ordinary Ancient Path Talents, but Minor Overlords of the Ancient Path, young supremes from the Heavenly Realm who had entered the Great Power realm over a century ago. They were not opponents who could be defeated in two or three moves easily.
Yet, only a Chaos Great Power like Ye Chen could accomplish this. He was ultimately excessively powerful. If it were any other supreme heavenly pride, even an Emperor's Child of the same realm would find it difficult to achieve.
"Master!"
Nine Snakes and Abenue were both excited. They hadn't expected their master to truly succeed in breaking free.
Ye Chen descended, casually shooting out two beams of chaotic divine light that entered their bodies. The Divine King Rebirth Art circulated, repairing their injuries.
Then he looked over, his gaze falling upon Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan in the distant sky. Although both had been swept away, they hadn't suffered fatal injuries. As Minor Overlords of the Ancient Path, how could they lack corresponding healing methods? After taking divine pills for healing, they quickly recovered from their wounds.
However, facing Ye Chen's indifferent, icy gaze, they immediately felt a chill run down their spines. Yet, they were unwilling to back down, speaking coldly, "Battle Saint King, what more do you intend to do?"
"Intend to do?"
A curve, growing increasingly cold, lifted at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth, making the two of them feel alarmed. They could tell the Battle Saint King had truly stirred killing intent.
Boom!—
Ye Chen shot through the air, charging fiercely toward the two Minor Overlords.
Yet, at this moment, someone appeared to intercept him. It was none other than Gong Shenxue. His body radiated immortal splendor as he shot forward, landing before Ye Chen.
"Battle Saint King, could you let this matter rest for my sake?" Gong Shenxue was elegant and refined like jade, possessing an ethereal, transcendent grace as if untouched by mortal dust—a handsome man even more beautiful than a woman, inspiring sudden goodwill.
Yet Ye Chen grew solemn because this Gong Shenxue, though appearing gentle as jade, gave him a feeling similar to Yuan Yang Divine King and Zhao Chen—all unfathomable and deeply disconcerting.
If there was anyone present who could make Ye Chen feel solemn, take seriously, and regard as an opponent, it was only this Gong Shenxue.
The two peak powerhouses confronted each other in the starry sky, drawing the attention of countless onlookers.
Indeed, the strength displayed by the Battle Saint King was truly monstrous and terrifying. But the feeling Gong Shenxue gave others had always been one of unfathomable depth. Though he rarely made a move, every time he did, he swept through all opposition invincibly. Even Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan acknowledged him as their elder brother, which spoke volumes. He was absolutely a peerless powerhouse of unimaginable strength.
Now that he was confronting the Battle Saint King, everyone watched with intense focus, eager to know: if these two supreme powerhouses clashed, who would be stronger? It was highly anticipated.
Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression turned cold and sharp. He said indifferently, "Why didn't you stop your two younger brothers earlier? Only now do you step forward."
Gong Shenxue shook his head. "I wasn't paying attention just now. I was focused entirely on observing you, Fellow Daoist."
Many people nodded at this point. From beginning to end, Gong Shenxue hadn't moved at all. He hadn't even responded when Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan spoke, seemingly immersed in observing the Battle Saint King without distraction.
Yet Ye Chen's face grew even colder and more merciless.
Wasn't paying attention?
Even a Heavenly King in seclusion could spare a sliver of attention to monitor the outside world, unless in a state of sudden enlightenment.
How could a peerless powerhouse like Gong Shenxue devote all his attention to him? This was clearly deceit.
"If you don't leave, don't blame me for taking action," Ye Chen said slowly, the aura emanating from his body growing increasingly terrifying.
"Battle Saint King, please hold your hand. I am willing to apologize on behalf of my two younger brothers," Gong Shenxue remained as gentle and jade-like as ever.
"Elder Brother!"
Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan hurriedly spoke up. Why was he still acting this way?
"Apologize?" Ye Chen raised a sword-like eyebrow.
Gong Shenxue said, "Yes. As long as Saint King Fellow Daoist can quell his anger, I am willing to pay a sufficient price."
"Fine, I agree," Ye Chen said, surprising many.
After all, the Battle Saint King had always been a Supreme Heavenly Pride who combined forcefulness and domineering aura. He had never backed down even when facing the Nine Overlords of the Ancient Path. For him to be willing to relent now was truly rare.
It also made Nine Snakes and Abenue feel slightly disappointed. They had originally hoped Ye Chen would stand up for them.
But on second thought, it made sense. The other side consisted of three Minor Overlords, and Gong Shenxue was unfathomable. If a peaceful resolution was possible, naturally that was preferable.
"Battle Saint King, what do you want?" Gong Shenxue said, opening several spatial pockets. Inside, a vast number of divine treasures appeared, all gleaming brilliantly. Each was a rare treasure of the Great Dao, of extraordinary value, making many onlookers gasp in astonishment.
Truly worthy of being a Minor Overlord of the Ancient Path, and the elder brother of three Minor Overlords at that. He indeed possessed countless treasures, enough to make even an Ancient Monarch truly covetous.
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "I can choose whatever I want?"
"Yes."
"In that case—" Ye Chen spoke, looking directly at Gong Shenxue before softly uttering, "I'll take their lives!"
Boom!—
The moment his words fell, Ye Chen moved. He was fast to the extreme, charging toward Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan, leaving countless people dumbfounded.
