Boom—
Struck by the immense force of the returning Time Power, even Battle Saint Qian Xun could not withstand it completely. His entire body trembled, but in the end, being proficient in the Great Dao of Time, he managed to endure it. However, his complexion was extremely pale as he stared at Ye Chen in shock. "How do you know this move?"
He found it hard to believe. Only those with profound mastery in both the Dao of Time and Space could truly execute it.
More importantly, this was a secret Emperor Technique not passed down. How could this heartless man know it?
"Primordial Beginning?"
Ye Chen smiled faintly, appearing utterly calm. Wasn't this the time-space Emperor Technique bestowed by the Time-Space Great Emperor when he was inscribed on the Supreme List at the World Tower?
Primordial Beginning—the beginning of all things, capable of returning everything to its most primitive state.
This was the unparalleled essence of the Time-Space Great Emperor's Emperor Technique, "Primordial Beginning."
Although Primordial Beginning involved time and space, requiring mastery and extraordinary comprehension of both Daos to execute...
But as the saying goes, mastering one Dao leads to mastery of all Daos—this refers to Chaos.
Ye Chen had mastered Chaos, and through analogy, after so many years, he had long since cultivated it successfully. Now, even though Battle Saint Qian Xun understood time restraints, facing the Emperor Technique of the Time-Space Great Emperor—the most powerful in time and space—at the same level was like showing off one's meager skill before an expert.
Battle Saint Qian Xun was utterly shocked. "How do you know Primordial Beginning? This is a secret not passed down."
Ye Chen chuckled, but there was a coldness in his laughter. "Because I understand time better than you."
Even without using the Emperor Technique Primordial Beginning, Ye Chen had other methods to break free from the Time Sphere's restraint. But he used this move precisely to shatter the other's confidence at its root.
You claim to understand time? But I understand it better than you.
In the distant sky, Yaya wished she could laugh heartily, sensing her dad's cunning—using the opponent's own method against them. Earlier, this guy had said he understood time better than her, and now her dad was striking back. Truly a professional dad who protects his own; she loved it.
However, Battle Saint Qian Xun quickly recovered. "Battle Saint King, I indeed underestimated you. I never expected you to have also mastered 'Primordial Beginning.' But don't think you're the only one who has mastered it."
Boom—
Heaven and earth reversed. A terrifying Time Power erupted from Battle Saint Qian Xun's body, and the Time Realm appeared once again. He, too, used the Emperor Technique Primordial Beginning to manifest it, causing the already deployed Time Realm to surge forth anew.
This time, it was Ye Chen's turn to change expression. He stared at the other in shock. Could this Qian Xun also have been inscribed on the Supreme List? Impossible—he had never seen Qian Xun's name there.
Moreover, with the collision of the two Emperor Techniques Primordial Beginning, they effectively canceled each other out. The Time Realm still enveloped heaven and earth, covering Ye Chen once more.
Ye Chen sighed softly. This Battle Saint Qian Xun was even stronger than imagined, truly catching him off guard.
The Time Realm descended again, covering heaven and earth, enveloping his entire form and condensing once more into an adult-sized Time Sphere prison.
This time, Battle Saint Qian Xun let out a light breath and smiled. "You're wrong. You cannot possibly understand time better than I do. Let's see how you escape this time."
From within, Ye Chen's still calm voice echoed. "Are you sure this can truly trap me?"
Battle Saint Qian Xun's sword-like brows twitched. "Oh? So you still have a way to break free?"
"What do you think?"
Whoosh—
At the same moment, the Time Sphere was completely torn apart. Visible to the naked eye, a fair palm slowly extended, then pierced through the Time Sphere and emerged!
Shock!
Nothing but shock!
No matter what, Battle Saint Qian Xun never expected that the Battle Saint King, sealed once again within the Time Sphere, could still break the seal. That fair palm emerging completely shattered his understanding.
How could this happen?
Yet it was happening right before his eyes, undeniable.
"Impossible! Even you shouldn't be able to break the seal!"
Battle Saint Qian Xun roared, unwilling to accept this. He struck out, unleashing a world-shaking divine ability aimed at that palm, intending to force the Battle Saint King back into the Time Sphere's seal.
The Dao techniques were boundless, surging and turbulent.
Especially when executed by an invincible being like Battle Saint Qian Xun, they were terrifyingly astonishing. One after another, miraculous phenomena manifested, suppressing Ye Chen from all directions.
Within the Time Sphere, though sealed, Ye Chen showed not the slightest trace of anxiety. Apart from the initial flicker of surprise, what followed was his familiar calm and natural composure, as unperturbed as an ancient relic who had lived for countless millennia, utterly unmoved.
His gaze was that of the Heaven's Eye. The Time Sphere could not block his vision, and he saw Battle Saint Qian Xun's series of attacks. His eyes flickered slightly, and he, too, made his move.
Boom—
That fair palm trembled violently, and boundless primordial Chaos Qi suddenly surged forth from it, spreading like ripples in all directions.
Countless strands of primordial Chaos Qi, accompanied by myriad layers of dawn light, seemed to evolve into the myriad Daos of the heavens, then collided with the attacks.
Silently, all the divine abilities and secret techniques unleashed by Battle Saint Qian Xun were submerged and blocked, completely failing to reach Ye Chen's hand.
Before the primordial Chaos Qi of the myriad Daos' origin, everything was assimilated, unable to achieve any meaningful effect.
This was the terror of Chaos!
But Battle Saint Qian Xun refused to accept it. He refused to believe this heartless man was truly invincible to this extent.
His golden war spear slashed out furiously, gleaming brilliantly. Coupled with his unparalleled Saint Body's blood energy, it was even more formidable. Boundless golden runes flew out continuously, like a vast golden ocean boiling over, surging forward to strike that fair palm once more.
At the same time, though most of Ye Chen's body remained within the Time Sphere, the palm extended outside transformed. It became a fearsome ancient stele—not the one he had manifested earlier, but the Heaven-Burying Stele, the magical instrument of the most ancient and invincible Heavenly Emperor among the Supreme Emperor Weapons.
The Heaven-Burying Stele originated from the magical instrument of the most ancient Heavenly Emperor, ancient beyond description. Legend said it belonged to the first Great Emperor of the Sealed Realm Universe, who opened heaven and earth, also the earliest to attain the position of the strongest Emperor—the Sealed Realm Great Emperor, powerful beyond measure.
The Heaven-Burying Stele was the magical instrument with which the Heavenly Emperor had buried a Supreme Emperor, stained with Emperor's blood. It had once manifested during a heavenly tribulation to attack Ye Chen, and he had long since become thoroughly familiar with it.
Moreover, on the River of Time, it had been summoned by a mysterious Supreme One shrouded in primordial Chaos Qi to sever the river between the Mythical Epoch and the present era, blocking the gaze of the alien Emperors from the previous epoch.
Ye Chen had witnessed it directly, understanding the Heaven-Burying Stele's characteristics. As a Chaos Saint Body, he now manifested it, possessing a trace of its Dao charm.
Once this stele appeared, it was immense, blotting out the sky and sun. On its surface were drops of vivid, seemingly fresh blood, radiating boundless bloody light that illuminated the heavens. These were the Supreme Blood left by the Emperors or peerless Immortals suppressed by the Heaven-Burying Stele, also manifested by Ye Chen.
Hum—
Instantly, heaven and earth changed. The River of Time seemed about to reverse, and everything was on the verge of a shocking transformation. It struck toward Battle Saint Qian Xun, colliding with the golden war spear.
Boom—
Divine light poured into the nine heavens, all driven into the vast firmament. Both were within it.
Though Battle Saint Qian Xun shattered the Heaven-Burying Stele, he was sent flying, the tiger's mouth of his hand split open, trickling with strands of golden blood. He was actually at a disadvantage.
To think he had launched a full-force attack, yet was suppressed by the other with just one hand—it was unbelievable.
Could it be that all the previous displays were not the Battle Saint King's true strength? Was his actual cultivation far more powerful than imagined?
Yaya clenched her delicate fist, grinning. "As expected, Dad is invincible. He is a Chaos Young Supreme, his physical Saint Body stronger than the Battle Saint Body. Moreover, Dad was suppressed before the Great Power realm, constantly accumulating. That accumulation is unimaginably profound. Once he broke through to Great Power, this profound accumulation truly began to erupt. How could he be like ordinary Emperor's sons? He must be even stronger."
Little Chenxi also waved her small fist, cheering. "Go, Daddy! You'll be invincible!"
At the same time, Ye Chen's entire body glowed, his skin radiant with divine light. Chaos light blazed boundlessly, making him resemble a Divine Light Heavenly Emperor, his divine might overwhelming the world. He began to break through the Time Sphere's seal.
Boom—
The Time Sphere trembled violently, almost shattering. Within it, an overwhelmingly terrifying aura surged, as if a peerless Supreme One who had slumbered for several epochs was awakening, about to emerge.
Unbelievably powerful!
Whoosh—
Visible to the naked eye, the Time Sphere was woven from countless Order Divine Chains of time. Now, as Ye Chen broke through, these Order Divine Chains rapidly disintegrated, turning into countless strands of Time Power.
If others faced this Time Power, they would inevitably be eroded and have their lifespan stripped away.
But Ye Chen was peerless and unmatched. Primordial Chaos Qi enveloped his heroic Saint Body, making him impervious to all techniques. The Time Power could not harm him in the slightest.
The next moment, Ye Chen's upper body was almost completely free from the seal.
This speed truly astonished everyone, even Battle Saint Qian Xun, the caster, who never expected it.
After all, this Time Sphere could trap even a seventh-layer super Great Power for a while, let alone an ordinary Great Power, making it extremely difficult to break free quickly.
Because Time Power was too terrifying; no one dared to touch it lightly.
Unfortunately, it encountered Ye Chen, who feared no Time Power—Chaos enveloped him, impervious to all techniques!
However, it was clear Battle Saint Qian Xun would not allow Ye Chen to truly break free. During this time, he continuously attacked, unleashing one world-shaking divine ability after another—all moves that could easily crush and kill ordinary Great Powers, impossible not to be terrifying.
Boundless light continuously enveloped the Central Continent's sky, brilliant and unextinguishable, drawing the attention of the world.
All manner of peerless divine abilities were unleashed at once, striking toward the Ye Chen below.
