Gong Xuan had fallen!
This scene truly shocked many onlookers.
A Minor Overlord of the Ancient Path had been slain just like that. He was a peerless Heaven's Pride with the potential to grow into a true Ancient Path Overlord, yet he was decisively killed here.
The Battle Saint King truly lived up to his title of Supreme One Slayer!
After Ye Chen's Chaos Supreme Body executed Gong Xuan, it seized a wisp of his Great Dao mark. Without pausing, it took the initiative to charge towards Gong Nanshan and the other seventeen Star Nests, confronting them all single-handedly.
"Battle Saint King, you have gone too far!" Gong Shenxue's excessively handsome face finally darkened slightly. The immortal light he unleashed with every move became even more terrifying, far more powerful than before. The collisions even wounded Ye Chen, causing his blood to splatter.
This was the first time since the battle began that Ye Chen had truly bled. One must know that his Chaos Saint Body was so powerful that even an Immortal Ancient Weapon could not harm him.
However, Ye Chen was naturally no ordinary figure either. He executed the Battle Saint Technique, further supplemented by surging Primordial Chaos Qi, engaging Gong Shenxue in a fierce battle where neither could gain a clear upper hand, even causing his opponent to shed blood.
Yet, he grew even more wary of Gong Shenxue. This person was truly unfathomable. Even after his third brother's demise, his death at Ye Chen's hands, Gong Shenxue remained largely unchanged from beginning to end, never truly enraged. An ordinary person would have been furious long ago. Precisely because of this, Ye Chen grew increasingly cautious.
It could be said that this Gong Shenxue was a man of astonishingly deep cunning.
Such a person was destined to be a profoundly unfathomable great enemy.
Boom—
Another collision occurred. This time, however, Gong Shenxue turned and shot into the sky, actively disengaging. He swiftly arrived before Gong Nanshan, clashing once with the attacking Chaos Supreme Body of Ye Chen. The exchange was evenly matched, forcing both parties to retreat a distance.
Gong Shenxue spoke up, "Second Brother, let's go!"
"Eldest Brother, but Third Brother—" Gong Nanshan was both furious and sorrowful. Their third brother had been slain. How could they just leave like this? They should stay and avenge him.
"Go!"
Gong Shenxue's tone brooked no argument. In the end, Gong Nanshan did not defy him. The two brothers each summoned a Dao Diagram, inscribed with a special mark of the Primordial Immortal World, profound and mysterious, containing the essence of an Ancient Monarch. They erupted with the most blazing immortal light, piercing through the void to open a brilliant, radiant passageway. They charged into it and vanished.
Their speed was so fast that even Ye Chen could not intercept them.
However, Ye Chen did not attempt to pursue. This Gong Shenxue was deeply disconcerting. He very much wanted to kill him here and now, but at the very least, he currently had no certainty of victory, unable to grasp just how many hidden methods that man possessed.
But their departure was also good. At the very least, it greatly reduced the pressure on him.
For his enemies were not just those two; there were still the seventeen Insect Race Mother Queens. Otherwise, with Gong Shenxue leading the attack, no matter how powerful Ye Chen was, he would have had to pay a heavy price.
Swish—
At this moment, his Original Body and his Chaos Supreme Body stood side by side. Two Supreme Beings appeared. His Original Body held the Chaos Great Cauldron aloft, while his Chaos Supreme Body manifested the Five Elements Great World, drawing a long spear from the Metal Realm of the Five Elements. He pointed it at the seventeen Insect Race Mother Queens, his battle qi boiling.
"Damn those two!"
The remaining seventeen Insect Race Mother Queens couldn't help but curse upon seeing this. The two Gong brothers were utterly shameless, abandoning them just like that. They should never have agreed to intervene. Now they had to face the Battle Saint King's wrathful retaliation.
Anyone could see how terrifyingly formidable the Battle Saint King was now, simply invincible.
Even with the eighteen Insect Race Mother Queens deploying the Eighteen Stars Grand Formation, they had failed to trap the Battle Saint King. Now, with their numbers reduced, there was even less hope.
"Battle Saint King, we are willing to leave, allowing you to pass smoothly. We will no longer obstruct you. Let's consider the matter settled," the seventeen Insect Race Mother Queens could only speak up in this manner, forced to concede. All the Ancient Path Talents watching fell silent.
These were the famously formidable Insect Race Mother Queens!
Especially as the guardians of this trial Star Sky. Since the opening of the Ultimate Ancient Path, they had intercepted countless Ancient Path Talents, with many perishing by their hands. They were filled with bloodlust, dominating the Star Sky, invincible wherever they went, their reputations echoing even in the depths of the cosmos.
Yet now, they had no choice but to bow their heads before the Battle Saint King, forced to retreat.
This was the invincible Battle Saint King. A single man had forced all the Insect Race Mother Queens to submit.
"Heh, do you think settling the matter is that simple?" However, Ye Chen did not agree. He looked at these Insect Race Mother Queens with icy coldness.
Previously, a line had been drawn. If they did not attack, Ye Chen would not bother with them, dealing with so many powerful enemies. But under the instigation of Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan, they attacked again. Now that Gong Shenxue and Gong Nanshan had left, they wanted to call a truce.
An ordinary person might consider it. But before Ye Chen, who was accustomed to being domineering and forceful, how could it be so easy?
"What more do you want?" The Insect Race Mother Queens grew somewhat angry, thinking to themselves that this Battle Saint King truly did not know how to behave. They had already conceded, yet he still wanted to continue fighting?
Little did they realize that they were the ones who violated the agreement by attacking again, yet they shifted all the blame onto Ye Chen.
"I don't want much," Ye Chen snorted coldly, naturally seeing through the thoughts of these Insect Race Mother Queens. He spoke indifferently, "I just need to kill you all, that's all!"
"What!?"
"Battle Saint King, you seek death!"
The seventeen Insect Race Mother Queens were enraged. Although the Battle Saint King was powerful, a monster, wanting to challenge them all single-handedly—even if he won, he would inevitably pay an unbearable price, and he might very well be killed, buried alongside them.
He simply did not know his place!
"Fine, Battle Saint King! No matter how powerful you are, if you want to kill us, then you shall be buried with us!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Another intense great battle erupted once more. The Battle Saint King single-handedly challenged all the Insect Race Mother Queens and their Great Power-level flesh bodies.
The great battle erupted in full.
The outcome of victory hinged on which side was stronger.
Although all the Ancient Path Talents could leave now, as the Insect Race Mother Queens guarding the Star Sky trial were all engaged in battle with no one to stop them, not a single person departed. They all focused on watching this great battle.
Or, more accurately, they were witnessing the Battle Saint King's invincible campaign.
However, the outcome had been decided the moment Gong Shenxue left.
Ye Chen swept through with overwhelming force, battling the seventeen Insect Race Mother Queens, engaging the nine Great Power-level flesh bodies in fierce combat, his two Supreme Bodies standing side by side.
If it were an ordinary Great Power, even a super Great Power at the seventh heaven would have to avoid their edge, for the enemy possessed too many Great Power-level combatants. Moreover, each Insect Race Mother Queen within a Star Nest was at least at the fourth heaven of the Great Power realm, with six at the fifth heaven. With the assistance of their Star Nests, their combat power could rise by at least one level, making them an extremely terrifying force capable of roaming the Star Sky without fear.
Unfortunately, they faced Ye Chen. The so-called insect swarm tactics were utterly ineffective.
Not to mention that A'Beinu, that variant Insect Race Mother Queen, could control over half of the insect warriors. Furthermore, Ye Chen excelled at mass slaughter, and his flesh body was invincible, possessing the foundation of the strongest Great Power-level flesh body. Daring to withstand everything, it also gave him the capital to withstand the Star Nests themselves.
Moreover, as a Chaos Saint Body, his divine power was boundless, his blood and qi were at their peak. This was his greatest asset in prolonged battles, essentially placing him in an undefeatable position from the start.
