Under such an overwhelmingly powerful assault, if it were all to spill out onto the Central Continent, its destructive might would surely sink nearly the entire landmass, causing the death of billions of living beings.
This was the terrifying aspect of War Saint Qian Xun. He far surpassed ordinary Great Powers by an unknown degree, unleashing all his divine abilities together, truly a force that could slay gods and buddhas alike.
Yet all of this was merely to force the Battle Saint King before him back into the seal within the time sphere.
One could imagine the apprehension War Saint Qian Xun held for Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen, in the midst of breaking the seal, remained as composed as ever. The space between his eyebrows shone brilliantly, radiating ten thousand beams of dawn light.
*Clang!*
The Chaos Great Cauldron flew out. Its mouth was unfathomably deep, resembling a massive black hole that devoured the heavens, intent on swallowing everything completely.
*Rumble!*
The heavens trembled visibly. The various destructive divine abilities unleashed by War Saint Qian Xun were directly devoured by the Chaos Great Cauldron.
That black hole was profoundly deep, as if connected to another ancient universe. The terrifying attack capable of destroying nearly the entire Central Continent was swallowed, and everything fell into silence, without a sound.
This scene made countless onlookers' scalps tingle.
The Battle Saint Art was supreme and immortal, and even its cauldron was so extraordinary and saintly.
If they too were swallowed by the great cauldron, they would likely be refined into nothingness without a sound...
Simultaneously, Ye Chen began his own counterattack.
He was never one to only defend without attacking. For him, offense was the best defense.
Though only half his body had broken free, who was Ye Chen? He was a Chaos young generation's supreme, so powerful he was invincible among his peers, firmly believing he could engage in the ultimate battle and overpower even the Emperor's sons and daughters, those supreme offspring of the same level.
He steadfastly continued his breakthrough, his black hair loose and then wildly dancing, each strand transforming into roaring dragons that devoured the heavens. Then, thousands upon thousands of great dragons flew out, swarming to devour War Saint Qian Xun.
War Saint Qian Xun let out a long roar, also employing the same technique. His hair transformed into countless golden great dragons, clashing with Ye Chen's.
Moreover, the Golden-Winged Roc beneath him attacked once more. This was a pure-blooded Golden-Winged Roc, executing the Eighteen Forms of the Heavenly Roc, far more powerful than the former Roc King by who knows how many times.
Especially since Ye Chen was currently trapped within the time sphere, unable to break free for a while, making him more susceptible to fearsome attacks.
"Despicable!"
The young generation's supremes from Moon Palace all wore gloomy expressions. Yaya especially wanted to help, because War Saint Qian Xun was not fighting alone; he was teamed with his mount, unleashing combat power far from ordinary, putting the not-yet-fully-freed Battle Saint King at a disadvantage.
However, Ye Chen sent a mental message telling Yaya not to come, remaining ever so calm, as if he felt no threat at all.
Ye Chen's expression was indeed serene, as always. Even though the current War Saint Qian Xun paired with his Golden-Winged Roc mount was formidable, he still harbored no fear. At this moment, the space between his eyebrows shone, bright as a blazing sun, summoning the Chaos Great Cauldron.
*Rumble!*
The Chaos Great Cauldron surged forth, carrying a vast expanse of primordial Chaos Qi that blotted out the sky, descending directly from above to smash down upon the Golden-Winged Roc below.
The Chaos Great Cauldron had been by Ye Chen's side for many years, long since sentient and extraordinarily fearsome. Now appearing, each wisp of primordial Chaos Qi was enough to crush mountains and rivers, let alone thousands upon thousands of them. It could absolutely shatter a great world as it poured down.
The Golden-Winged Roc shrieked, its entire body of golden roc feathers shining brilliantly, the whole creature glowing like a deity of light. It collided, initiating a fierce battle.
*Boom!*
Ten thousand layers of golden light shattered. The Chaos Great Cauldron, as supreme and invincible as its master, poured primordial Chaos Qi down through the nine heavens as if carrying an ancient universe, directly blasting the Golden-Winged Roc away. Many of its feathers cracked, roc blood flowing, putting it at a disadvantage.
But it was clearly impossible to completely suppress this Golden-Winged Roc just yet. This pure-blooded Golden-Winged Roc possessed supreme combat power, executing the Eighteen Forms of the Heavenly Roc to its utmost, clashing with the Chaos Great Cauldron and exploding with boundless celestial light.
However, with the Chaos Great Cauldron restraining the Golden-Winged Roc, Ye Chen appeared even more at ease.
Meanwhile, his majestic battle physique had already broken free for the most part. Primordial Chaos Qi spilled out, and the Time Power was assimilated, unable to harm him much. On the contrary, it was being devoured and assimilated by the primordial Chaos Qi.
Primordial Chaos Qi was the origin of all Daos, naturally extraordinary. Even Time Power could not escape its fate.
At the same time, Ye Chen attacked even more ferociously. A fist shot skyward, then fiercely smashed toward War Saint Qian Xun before him. One great world after another crumbled at the edge of his fist, containing the most terrifying destructive power, before rumbling and crashing in all directions.
War Saint Qian Xun naturally showed no fear. His eyes shone brilliantly as he raised both hands, also unleashing a fearsome fist imprint, this one accompanied by dazzling Time Power. Vaguely, one could even see a majestic, faintly discernible river—it was none other than the River of Time!
*Boom!*
Another peerless great collision.
Countless Dao runes rapidly clashed and collided before mutually annihilating into nothingness.
However, during this, Ye Chen took another step forward. By now, naturally, three-quarters of his body had stepped outside the time sphere. He was on the verge of completely breaking the seal.
The many powerhouses sighed in admiration. Truly worthy of being the peerless Battle Saint King. Facing such peril, he could still break the seal so composedly. If it were anyone else, forget the young generation's prodigies of the Ancient Path, even those long-established older generation super experts could never be as calm and natural as the Battle Saint King.
This was the confidence brought by invincible strength.
The peerless Battle Saint King!
War Saint Qian Xun let out a long roar, filled with great unwillingness. Victory had clearly been within grasp, yet in the end, the Battle Saint King was still about to escape.
Naturally, he could not resign himself to this, because there was still time; his opponent was not completely free yet.
"You are formidable, but what about this move!"
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Qian Xun suddenly unleashed an even more powerful divine ability. An arcane and profound fluctuation appeared, with rings of invisible ripples spreading out like lightning, engulfing the entire firmament.
*Hum—* Restraint!
The entire world was restrained.
Yet what left everyone dumbfounded was that not only space was restrained, but time as well—completely restrained!
The world was shocked!
Space is king, time is supreme!
Mastering one of these Great Daos was already remarkable enough, but to simultaneously master two completely different Daos was nothing short of heaven-defying.
Throughout the ages, those capable of mastering both the Space and Time Daos were exceedingly rare, each one a true super expert.
And the one who had brought both Daos to their absolute pinnacle was none other than the Space-Time Emperor, one of the most powerful Emperors in history.
Now, this War Saint Qian Xun, while mastering the invincible Battle Saint Art, also commanded the Great Dao of Space-Time. This was undoubtedly astonishing.
Yaya in the distant sky was equally shocked.
She could master the Great Dao of Space-Time entirely because her true form was the World Tree, innately possessing special control over space and time. Otherwise, for anyone else, it would be impossible to command both Daos so thoroughly.
Yet clearly, this War Saint Qian Xun before her had done it.
How was this possible?
Yaya was utterly stunned, staring at War Saint Qian Xun in shock, her rosy little mouth agape enough to swallow an egg.
*Boom!*
The Great Dao of Space-Time operated. War Saint Qian Xun bathed in flawless golden light, yet effortlessly manipulated space and time, unleashing a fearsome space-time restraint that abruptly halted Ye Chen's mostly-freed figure. Countless chains of order descended from the sky, layering upon Ye Chen's body, seeking to seal him back inside.
"Battle Saint King, aren't you formidable? But now, facing this move of mine, how will you resist?"
War Saint Qian Xun laughed heartily, looking arrogantly at Ye Chen from a superior position, with a gaze of condescension. He did not believe the current Ye Chen could withstand this; it was simply impossible.
Even if the Battle Saint Art also mastered the Space-Time Emperor Technique "Primordial Beginning," he too had mastered it. The same Emperor Technique could completely cancel each other out.
The scales of victory still tilted in his favor.
"Is that so?"
A light sigh was heard, only to see a vast expanse of primordial Chaos Qi surge skyward like a boundless ocean in raging waves, scattering everything. Even the fearsome space-time shackles falling upon him were pushed aside, with many already beginning to dissolve and dissipate.
War Saint Qian Xun was utterly shocked. "Impossible!?"
"Nothing is impossible."
Ye Chen sneered coldly, his gaze icy as he spoke coldly, "Chaos is the origin of all things, the origin of all Daos. No matter how extraordinary the Great Dao of Space-Time may be, no matter how it may be called king and supreme, when faced with the most fundamental Chaos, it will be assimilated, melted down into the most fundamental Chaos."
He spoke word by word, each syllable striking heavily upon War Saint Qian Xun's heart, the look of shock on his face growing ever more intense.
Naturally, what was more important was that one's own cultivation needed to be sufficiently powerful. Otherwise, with insufficient strength, even mastering the Chaos Dao would not allow one to assimilate the Space-Time Dao.
For example, if a Saint Realm expert mastered the Chaos Dao and faced a Heavenly King who mastered the Space-Time Dao, no matter how powerful the Saint was, they could not completely assimilate space-time with Chaos. At most, they could assimilate a tiny fraction, which would already be remarkable.
However, Ye Chen's cultivation had reached that level. He was a Chaos Great Power, an invincible being who could be called supreme among Great Powers, fully capable of assimilating the Space-Time Dao of War Saint Qian Xun, who was also a Great Power.
"The time has come. It is time to resolve you."
Ye Chen spoke. His expression had remained calm from beginning to end, yet the words he uttered now suddenly made many hearts tremble.
