"The time has come. It's time to settle things with you."
As these words fell, the entire arena fell into utter silence.
Only at this moment did many finally realize that although the Battle Saint King had displayed earth-shattering combat prowess earlier, he likely hadn't truly shown his full strength, having only used a portion of his power.
Seeing a leopard through a bamboo tube, everyone suddenly felt their hearts pounding with fear.
If the power he displayed earlier wasn't his full cultivation, then just how powerful must the Battle Saint King be?
Just the thought alone caused a monstrous wave of terror to surge in everyone's hearts.
The Battle Saint King, the Chaos Young Supreme, was indeed unfathomable.
Battle Saint Qian Xun, standing opposite him, also underwent a drastic change in expression, his face darkening. "Are you saying you haven't shown your full strength yet?"
He felt a sense of humiliation. Even though this person before him was the Heartless Person, that identity to him, he was also a proud individual, unwilling to believe that someone could still hide their strength when facing someone as powerful as himself.
He was a Supreme One qualified to claim the title of future Ancient Path Overlord, an invincible existence beneath the nine Ancient Path Overlords. Although Ye Chen was the husband of one of the Ancient Path Overlords, the Goddess, he couldn't possibly be this powerful.
"That's right."
Ye Chen smiled, but the smile was profoundly cold. He strode forward, his other foot completely stepping out of the Time Sphere. With a shake of his body, boundless primordial Chaos Qi poured down, suddenly exploding and completely eroding the Time Sphere.
Visible to the naked eye, the strands of order divine chains interweaving the Time Sphere were formed from genuine Time Power, containing pure temporal force. Yet, under the primordial Chaos Qi, all Time Power dissipated, assimilated, returning to the most primitive Chaos before being absorbed into Ye Chen's body, causing his aura to soar once more.
"As a Battle Saint, you are very powerful, even mastering the Great Dao of Time and Space. I must admit, your strength absolutely qualifies you to contend with the strongest Supreme geniuses like the Emperor Sons and Daughters. But unfortunately—" Ye Chen spoke softly, praising Battle Saint Qian Xun in this manner, but at the very end, his tone suddenly shifted. His eyes blazed with holy light, brilliant enough to illuminate the entire vast world. "I am even stronger than them!"
His words fell, seeming capable of shaking past and present, of shattering all heavens, causing everyone's minds to explode with a roar, leaving them all stunned.
The Battle Saint King was arrogant, even daring to claim he was stronger than the Emperor Sons and Daughters. How was that possible?
Those figures inherited the most powerful bloodlines of their Emperor fathers, their bloodline power peerless in the world, not appearing even once in an era. Only in this current flourishing age could so many Emperor Sons and Daughters appear. Yet, he dared to claim he was stronger than the offspring of Emperors?
It was clearly arrogance.
Yet, his expression was filled with confidence and such composure.
A warrior is invincible, and he was the Chaos Young Supreme!
The next moment, Ye Chen began to act. His entire aura surged instantaneously by an unknown amount, rising by a whole level in an instant. A terrifying aura swept through all heavens.
That feeling was as if the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had descended and stood upon the mortal world.
Boom—
The next moment, he was seen making his move. Only a single fist punched out. That fist swept with peerless primordial Chaos Qi, accompanied by countless great worlds rising and falling, one after another, revolving around the fist before smashing towards the Battle Saint Qian Xun before him.
It seemed like just an ordinary punch, but it was more powerful than any divine ability. All heavens resonated, worlds rose and fell, utterly terrifying!
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The strands of time and space divine chains shattered rapidly, utterly incapable of withstanding the Battle Saint King's immortal holy fist.
Time and space were annihilated!
Gods blocking would be slain, Buddhas blocking would be slain, crushing decay and establishing the new. Nothing could possibly block this fist.
Battle Saint Qian Xun's expression changed drastically even more. This was the first time in his life he had encountered such a great crisis, and it was from the very Heartless Person he wanted to pursue and target.
Was this Heartless Person truly this powerful?
Battle Saint Qian Xun was filled with unwillingness. He wanted to block it, continuously striking out in rage, unleashing brilliant beams of light accompanied by the terrifying profound meaning of the Emperor's Dao. It was a peerless Emperor technique; he also mastered Emperor Scripture divine abilities, not the Battle Saint Method, but when executed, they were incredibly heaven-defying.
Yet, before this fist, all divine abilities and spells were like crushing decay and establishing the new, impossible to block, layer upon layer easily shattered.
Finally, that fist was already directly smashing towards Battle Saint Qian Xun's face. The oncoming force could pulverize heaven and earth, tear apart the sky.
He could fully sense just how terrifyingly immense the power contained within that fist was; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say all heavens would collapse.
If this fist landed, even a super Great Power would find it difficult to withstand.
Boom—
Battle Saint Qian Xun wanted to dodge, but he couldn't. He was completely locked onto by the other's aura, utterly unable to evade.
This was the battle intent lock of a Battle Saint. If a Battle Saint Ancestor locked on like this, even an Emperor or a Supreme Immortal would be unable to dodge, showing just how formidable it was.
Moreover, the fist radiated a world-shaking oppressive force. Upon it, world after world rose and fell, suppressing all heavens, actually intending to completely suppress him, similar to a temporal confinement, rendering him unable to move.
Now, Battle Saint Qian Xun only had death awaiting him.
Facing this fist, he revealed a bitter smile, his eyes filled with helplessness. It was the first time he felt so bitter. He also looked at the Battle Saint King before him, this person of nominal importance. He didn't beg for mercy, only carrying a trace of sorrow as he raised his head to look at the sky above and softly spoke: "Mother, your child has failed you. The Heartless Person is too powerful. Your child cannot bring him before you, the princess of the Divine Domain Ancient Kingdom, to kowtow and apologize. Mother, farewell. In the next life, I am still willing to be your child."
As his words fell, he had already closed his eyes, quietly awaiting the descent of that fist to smash his head into pieces, completely dying and his Dao dissipating here, with even his soul unable to escape.
He didn't resent the other for killing him, only resented his own insufficient strength, only able to die in battle at the other's hands.
Moreover, he harbored a wicked madness: if this Battle Saint King learned of his identity in the future and realized he had killed him with his own hands, he wondered if he would collapse.
Whoosh—
Boundless wild winds blew over, causing Battle Saint Qian Xun's long hair to dance wildly, yet there was no sensation of pain.
A moment later, the expected invincible fist did not descend. Battle Saint Qian Xun opened his eyes, only to see that invincible fist stopped three inches from his face, never landing. Only the handsome face opposite him, at this moment, no longer held any trace of calm composure. Instead, it looked at him with shock, his breath slightly hurried as he said: "What did you say? What did you say your mother's name was?"
Battle Saint Qian Xun softly spoke, uttering two words: "Yun Yan!"
