On the other side, although Yaya was worried about her father, he had sent her a voice transmission, instructing her to ascend the altar and compete with the Yuanchu Imperial Son.
The Yuanchu Imperial Son naturally did not want anyone to disturb him from awakening his Emperor Father, so he attacked Yaya. However, Yaya was no weakling either, being astonishingly powerful herself. She also wielded the power of Time and even controlled the power of Void. Even the Yuanchu Imperial Son found her troublesome.
The various powerhouses continued to ascend the altar one after another, all charging toward the very top of the Ancestral Altar, eager to seize the Great Emperor's reincarnation body.
Boom—
At the same time, Ye Chen alone was battling the alien Imperial Sons and Daughters. The fight was incredibly intense, with beams of light constantly shooting into the sky from their clashes, exploding and shaking the heavens and earth before colliding with thunderous roars.
Thud! Thud!
In just a short moment, Ye Chen had exchanged dozens, even hundreds, of moves with the two. Each move and stance was condensed with terrifying power. As they collided, the void was constantly torn apart, revealing their truly fearsome capabilities.
Even under the rules of the Dharma-Ending Era, they remained peerless and invincible.
Moreover, at this point, they were intentionally or unintentionally shifting the battlefield, constantly pushing toward the top of the Ancestral Altar.
Qian Xun and the Poluo Imperial Son on the other side were doing the same.
Among them, some powerhouses, wary of these Emperor's Son-level Supreme Heavenly Prides, secretly attacked from behind.
"Hmph, petty scoundrels, simply seeking death!"
Both Ye Chen and the alien Imperial Sons and Daughters were enraged. The white-haired Imperial Son, Shenqian, directly grabbed the war spear that had been secretly thrust at him and instantly erased the Dao imprints within this Immortal Ancient Weapon, causing the Great Power who had attacked from the shadows to turn pale and cough up large mouthfuls of blood.
And that was not all. Shenqian locked onto the Great Power who had attacked with the war spear and hurled it back. The spear shot out and pierced through that Great Power, nailing him to the void, resulting in a rather gruesome death.
From then on, no one else dared to attack the several Emperor's Son-level Supreme Heavenly Prides, lest they be killed in return.
The pyramid-shaped Ancestral Altar was crowded with powerhouses, each constantly making their move. No one wanted anyone else to get ahead, so they all attacked fiercely. People were continuously being killed, their blood staining the Ancestral Altar.
Only, slowly, all the blood was eerily absorbed by the Ancestral Altar.
At first, everyone was fighting desperately, and no one noticed this. But as time passed, more and more people gradually discovered it. More importantly, they also saw that the corpses of the slain powerhouses had quietly vanished.
No one noticed how they disappeared. This point was extremely eerie, causing some observant individuals to break out in a cold sweat as they realized something terrifying was happening.
This pyramid Ancestral Altar was truly bizarre.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen, Shenqian, and Gulan had fought their way to the very top of the Ancestral Altar, now less than a hundred zhang away from the Divine Spirit Nine-Layered Coffin.
Even though the closer they got to the Divine Spirit Nine-Layered Coffin, the stronger the suppression from the Dharma-Ending Era rules became, their physiques remained peerless in the world, largely unaffected. Fiery radiance still coiled around their bodies, their Dao might formidable, leaving many powerhouses dumbfounded and sighing at their own inferiority.
Even a Great Power at the fifth heaven, a ruler-level figure, arriving here would find their magical power almost completely suppressed, leaving only a faint layer of light barely coiling around them. How could they compare to Ye Chen and these others? They were simply monstrous existences.
At this point, both Shenqian and Gulan had to admit that Ye Chen's combat power was heaven-defying. In this era, there truly was someone who could simultaneously engage both of them without falling behind, even fighting so fiercely—something unprecedented.
However, the more this was the case, the heavier their killing intent became. Such a monstrous individual absolutely could not be allowed to grow freely. Otherwise, he would inevitably become a serious threat to the entire alien race. That would not do.
"Six Paths Revolve, All Heavens Collapse!"
At this moment, Imperial Son Shenqian roared. From his six arms shot out six completely different beams of Dao light, all rumbling with power. Accompanied by six terrifying great worlds revolving, they continuously shattered the void as he launched a fierce attack.
Imperial Maiden Gulan possessed a peerlessly enchanting figure. Every glance and movement was captivating, as if she were the most alluring woman in the world, no man could escape her charm. Yet her attacks were ruthlessly vicious. The azure divine staff in her hand swept down, bringing with it a vast ocean.
However, beneath the azure lay endless darkness, with countless skeletons floating and sinking in the ocean, and innumerable malevolent spirits. It was as if boundless Yin soldiers had been summoned, with the abyss below being the Netherworld Hell. Once touched, one would be sealed within.
Ye Chen's form suddenly changed. His entire aura surged dramatically, becoming many times more terrifying in an instant. His combat power was boundless, sweeping and surging, piercing through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. His entire body exploded with immeasurable golden light as he swung his Immortal Saint Fist to kill.
Yet his entire being now carried the most dreadful, forbidden aura of annihilating all heavens, which even resonated with the blood energy of Qian Xun, who was fighting in the distance.
Battle Saint Art — Forbidden Chapter —
Battle Saint Slays Heaven!
This was the most forbidden chapter of the Battle Saint Art, inherited from the Battle Saint Ancestor in the past. Long ago, on the River of Time, the corpse of the Formless Monarch had manifested and performed it, confronting an alien Great Emperor who had descended from the Mythical Era.
Now, as Ye Chen executed it, the battle aura was peerless, spreading in all directions. Ye Chen had stirred his killing intent, traversing the sky to furiously attack the two alien Imperial Sons.
Boom! Boom!
The most terrifying collision erupted. Within it, boundless light of destruction spread out, tearing through layer after layer of the void, causing the various powerhouses to dare not easily approach this area.
They also saw blood light splashing, flying in all directions.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
In the end, everything dissipated. Only Ye Chen remained standing there, though a trail of blood dripped from his fist, accompanied by chaotic light, very fiery. Several wounds deep enough to see bone appeared on his body.
On the other side, both Shenqian and Gulan had their physiques torn open. Especially Shenqian, whose six arms were broken, blood flowing all over the ground. Gulan beside him was in a similar state.
After that one clash, both sides were ultimately mutually wounded; no one had truly emerged victorious.
But both Shenqian and Gulan had to admit the strength of the Battle Saint King. This level of strength could be called heaven-defying. For one person to confront Emperor Sons and Daughters like them without falling behind, and even make them bleed in a direct confrontation, was simply inconceivable. No one would have dared to imagine that someone in the world could achieve this.
Without a doubt, the Battle Saint King had done it. Seeing a leopard through a tube—from this small glimpse, one could see how heaven-defying his combat power was.
