One of the figures was none other than the Sovereign of Formlessness. He was peerless and unparalleled, his entire body bathed in resplendent golden light, with even each strand of his hair gleaming with dazzling golden radiance. His majestic brows and eyes were like those of an Emperor descending to the mortal world, as he faced another supreme existence.
The opponent was also overwhelmingly powerful in that era. The two Invincible Ones stood in opposition, their terror indescribable, to the point where the entire Emperor Birth Star trembled, with thick spatial cracks continuously spreading out, causing immense impact.
The battle erupted, impossible to see clearly. One only knew that each collision between the two could shake the heavens, causing the entire Imperial Star to tremble continuously, with boundless light erupting.
Those were merely brief scenes, yet Ye Chen could fully sense how fearsome the enemy faced by the Sovereign of Formlessness was. As powerful as the Sovereign of Formlessness was—that monstrous, indescribable Invincible One—he could not simply sweep through his opponent now and had erupted into an astonishing battle.
One could imagine the terrifying nature of that opponent. It was highly likely one of the few individuals on the Ultimate Ancient Path at that time who could contend with the Sovereign of Formlessness.
Although in a certain great era of the Mythical Age, the Sovereign of Formlessness had fought until the Ultimate Ancient Path fell silent, with no one able to resist him, a few others were not included in that. They all possessed truly supreme Emperor-like qualities and Emperor Path potential. Without mishap, they all had the qualification to prove the Dao and become Emperors. In a sense, they might even be stronger than Imperial Sons.
This person should be one of them, forcing even Ye Chen to admire his opponent's strength and also admire the Sovereign of Formlessness's peerless invincibility.
If the current Ye Chen were to go up, he wouldn't dare claim he could do better than the Sovereign of Formlessness.
The title of 'Number One Under the Emperor' was not undeserved. Although Ye Chen now also displayed peerless and unparalleled potential, when facing the Sovereign of Formlessness, that most monstrous of beings, he couldn't help but sigh at the other's supreme monstrousness, which was not inferior to his current self.
One astonishing battle scene after another flashed by. Soon, the confrontation surpassed the Great Power level. Ye Chen could no longer clearly capture all the attacks, but he could briefly glimpse strands of supreme profundity manifesting.
Ye Chen's entire Saint Body bloodline continuously boiled, rumbling incessantly. Moreover, within it, he could witness the Sovereign of Formlessness executing the Battle Saint Art. Each move and technique manifested unprecedented divine might of the Great Dao in the Sovereign of Formlessness's hands, shattering the heavens, incomparable.
Ye Chen's eyes bloomed with dazzling divine light, watching unblinkingly, not daring to miss a single moment.
This was too rare. This was the Sovereign of Formlessness's enactment of the Battle Saint Art. In this world, if anyone could surpass it, it would only be the Battle Saint Ancestor. The impact on Ye Chen was immense, equivalent to guiding him in the Battle Saint Art from another level.
Although Ye Chen had now created his own Chaos dao techniques, it did not mean he had to completely abandon the Battle Saint Art. On the contrary, the Battle Saint Art, as the supreme great method of the strongest Emperor, the Battle Saint Ancestor, contained unsurpassable combat profundities that were of great benefit to Ye Chen in creating his Chaos techniques.
Especially those close-combat dao techniques were like this, basically enough to be called the number one close-combat divine ability in the Chaos Sea, unsurpassable, at most only able to be on par.
However, such battle scenes could not remain completely intact for long; they were only brief. Yet, the benefit for Ye Chen was already great enough, allowing him to gain even deeper comprehension of the Battle Saint Art.
A long time later, until all the battle scenes completely disappeared, Ye Chen's blood energy still continued to boil, surging and churning incessantly, releasing light that shook the heavens, vibrating the entire Barren Land as he digested the various insights from that battle.
"Ancient Ancestor of Formlessness," Ye Chen sighed softly. This visit had brought him no small harvest.
At the same time, a large number of powerhouses descended outside the Barren Land. They were all powerhouses from the Eastern Barbarian Continent who had sensed the unusual activity here but did not dare to approach lightly, clearly aware of the sinister nature of the Barren Land.
"This golden light, could it be—"
"It can't be wrong, it can only be someone from that lineage!"
"After an epoch has passed, have they come again?"
Many powerhouses changed expressions because the fame of the Sovereign of Formlessness in the previous epoch was too great. He had even confronted a peerless great enemy here, enacting a godly battle that shook the ancient and modern eras, enough to be recorded in the annals of history. Precisely because of this, it caused many to change color.
If someone from that lineage had come, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Could it be the Battle Saint King has arrived?"
Soon, many people understood. Wasn't the legendary Battle Saint King, who could rival the Primordial Imperial Son, from this very lineage?
Now that the Battle Saint King had come, was he here to obtain the invincible dao techniques left behind by that Sovereign of Formlessness from the past?
Boom—
Boundless golden light erupted, directly submerging this vast Barren Land spanning a million li. Moreover, an astonishing aura swept across heaven and earth, spreading overwhelmingly, causing many powerhouses at the edge to feel immense pressure. Even their primordial spirits and divine souls trembled. Countless powerhouses were utterly terrified.
What a fearsome and invincible Battle Saint King! Was he really this terrifyingly boundless?
The boundless golden light only lasted for a moment before everything gradually faded away.
Swish—
At the same time, Ye Chen left this Barren Land, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the depths of the vast Star Sky. No one could capture his figure, not knowing where he went.
In the Star Sky, Ye Chen stood firm. The saintly blood within his body gradually settled from its boiling state, returning to calm.
He gazed at the myriad stars, exhaling a long breath from within. After a long while, he finally recovered, murmuring to himself, "Ancestor, thank you."
The bloodline resonance of the Battle Saint lineage, the gift from the Sovereign of Formlessness, allowed Ye Chen to gain a higher comprehension of the Battle Saint Art, and his combat power had also risen somewhat—extremely rare.
One must know, how powerful was Ye Chen now?
Absolutely the strongest among his peers, unsurpassable.
To become stronger, it was basically only possible by raising his own realm; there was no more room for ascent. Yet, observing the great battle between the Sovereign of Formlessness and his peerless great enemy had actually allowed him to vaguely break through somewhat.
One could say, this was an exceptionally rare experience.
After a good half-day, he finally completely digested everything.
His blood energy rumbled and roared, but also calmed down.
He had become a bit stronger again.
Although just a bit, it was enough to shock the heavens.
However, Ye Chen did not return immediately, because at this moment, looking down from the sky, he suddenly discovered an astonishing scene.
Upon witnessing this scene, even he couldn't help but suck in a cold breath, with stormy waves rising in his heart!
