Yuanchu Imperial Son was the first to strike, unleashing the familiar secret technique of time!
Boom—
The World Heaven and Earth evolved from the Emperor's Traces trembled as well. His right hand resembled a heavenly stele, covered in countless Great Dao runes that flowed with brilliant silver light—the Dao of Time, an immortal Dao principle revered throughout the world, an invincible law that has existed since ancient times, eternal and indestructible.
With the emergence of this heavenly stele palm, it seemed as if the River of Time itself was about to be summoned, using the most merciless power of the ages to grind everything to dust, returning all things in the world to nothingness.
Even the ancient cosmos would be no exception—nothing can remain eternal and everlasting.
"How terrifying!"
The many powerful figures observing from outside all changed their expressions, offering such an evaluation.
Clearly, Yuanchu Imperial Son had unleashed such an ultimate divine ability right from the start, having sensed the strength of the Battle Saint King and wanting to resolve the battle with the fastest speed to prove his own invincibility.
Yet Ye Chen's expression remained unperturbed. He, too, slapped out a palm.
Boom—
The winds and clouds abruptly changed!
It was not the Heaven-Shaking Hand from the Battle Saint Art, nor the White Tiger Hand. His palm was wreathed in primordial Chaos Qi, accompanied by brilliant golden radiance—it was a Dao technique he had comprehended himself. Now, as he unleashed it, his right hand also transformed into an immortal heavenly stele, covered in countless golden runes and chaos runes, all interwoven together.
"Be it time or space, everything originates from chaos and ultimately returns to chaos. Nothing can escape this."
Ye Chen also spoke. A massive chaos heavenly stele appeared, shimmering with countless divine marks of the Great Dao, returning everything to nothingness. It was profoundly mysterious yet exceptionally fearsome, refining everything into chaos before striking out, colliding with Yuanchu Imperial Son.
Boom—
Heaven shattered and earth cracked. The World Heaven and Earth evolved from the Emperor's Traces shook violently, riddled with terrifying dark fissures, nearly on the verge of collapse.
Moreover, waves of fearsome energy even leaked to the outside world, causing many weaker Cultivators to suffer. If not for the timely intervention of the older generation's supreme experts at the critical moment, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Within, the power of time and the power of chaos collided, each trying to devour the other.
Ye Chen's chaos could be considered the source of all Daos, capable of assimilating everything. However, time reigns supreme, being one of the most fearsome Great Daos. Even his chaos found it difficult to completely assimilate it, naturally also because Yuanchu Imperial Son was too powerful; otherwise, it wouldn't have been like this.
The collision of these two Great Daos was like the clash of ice and fire, unimaginably intense.
Everyone trembled.
The world acknowledged Yuanchu Imperial Son's strength and was mentally prepared for it, but they never expected the Battle Saint King could truly contend with him.
And this was only the first exchange, yet it was already so terrifyingly formidable. Truly worthy of being an Imperial Son and a prodigy. If it were any other young generation's supreme, it would never have reached such an intense level.
The first move ended with both sides evenly matched.
However, soon, before the aftershocks of the first collision had even subsided, Yuanchu Imperial Son struck again, unleashing a second move.
He swiftly formed hand seals, his fingers and palms glowing brilliantly. A fiery divine light sphere flew out from within—a sphere of Dao light.
It belonged to Yuanchu Imperial Son's Dao, then transformed into a massive Time Wheel, similar to his Dao weapon but not the actual weapon itself—merely an evolution. It was wreathed in fiery time power, blooming with thousands of strands of time light that cascaded down, enveloping Ye Chen, aiming to strip away his years and even his life.
Boom—
Ye Chen's body was like a furnace, his blood energy immeasurable, primordial Chaos Qi spreading out. His palm transformed, shifting shape to become a thirty-three-layered Dao Pagoda that soared into the sky, still cascading with primordial Chaos Qi.
If any Cultivator from the Sealed Boundary Universe were here, they would be astonished, for this was identical to the Human Sovereign Pagoda.
Yet this Human Sovereign Pagoda was also unique. Thirty-three layers high, each layer flowing with primordial Chaos Qi. Then, strand by strand, the primordial Chaos Qi gradually transformed into fiery silver light, disrupting heaven and earth, stirring the ages, altering all the Great Daos within this evolved world.
Among it, the law of time actually flowed as well.
"The power of time!"
Yuanchu Imperial Son's expression also changed slightly, for he understood this power far more clearly than anyone else—what else could it be but the power of time?
This was one of the most difficult laws and Great Daos to comprehend, yet the Battle Saint King had also mastered it.
Naturally, no matter what, Yuanchu Imperial Son would never have imagined that while Primordial Beginning Great Emperor was a peerless Great Emperor who mastered time, on this path, there existed another who could be called the strongest throughout all ages—
Time-Space Great Emperor!
He was the unsurpassable existence on the Great Dao of Space-Time throughout history, just as Alchemy Emperor's achievements were in the art of alchemy. In terms of time, Time-Space Great Emperor was likely even more powerful than Primordial Beginning Great Emperor, for he was the strongest of the Emperors and Sovereigns.
Back then, within the Boundary Pagoda of the Tenth Emperor Pass, Time-Space Great Emperor had imparted a secret technique involving the Great Dao of Space-Time to Ye Chen.
Over the years, Ye Chen had been diligently studying and researching the various aspects of the Great Dao of Space-Time, naturally also comprehending the power of time.
The Human Sovereign Pagoda flew out. Although its time power wasn't as pure as the Time Wheel's, combined with primordial Chaos Qi, it was extraordinarily fearsome.
Moreover, on the Human Sovereign Pagoda, layer upon layer of primordial Chaos Qi underwent astonishing changes.
In an instant, thousands of sword radiances suddenly appeared. Some surged up from deep within the earth, each as thick as a mountain range.
Some came from the void.
Among them, some transformed into fearsome Chaos Holy Spirits—like the Golden Holy Dragon, the Undying Immortal Phoenix, the Qilin, and so on. One after another, holy spirits emerged, all peerless holy spirits born innately from chaos. It was as if the legendary Chaos Holy Spirits had come to life, traversing time and space to charge forward.
Amidst this, the Time Wheel and the Human Sovereign Pagoda collided. The power of time and primordial Chaos Qi danced and intertwined, even extending into various different dimensional spaces, yet all were shattered, collapsing rapidly.
Moreover, all the heavenly holy spirits possessed their own intelligence, charging toward Yuanchu Imperial Son.
Although Yuanchu Imperial Son's expression changed slightly, a large number of time runes surged from the Time Wheel, then transformed into thousands of sword radiances, involving time and shattering the sword radiances from the Human Sovereign Pagoda.
Subsequently, an even more fearsome Dao Chart surged out, also related to time.
The emergence of the Time Dao Chart even completely halted the World Heaven and Earth evolved from the Emperor's Traces, having an effect similar to the Time Sword—it could stop time.
Within it, nine ancient characters appeared, each a true Emperor's ancient character, containing unparalleled and unfathomable Dao might. They rumbled as they flowed, charging forth to collide with the nine great holy spirits that flew out from the Human Sovereign Pagoda.
Boom—
Boundless destructive power spread and permeated. The World Heaven and Earth evolved from the Emperor's Traces continuously rumbled with loud noises, riddled with terrifying fissures as if it could be torn apart at any moment.
