Although Ye Chen also very much wanted to slay both of them here and now, he knew it was mostly impossible.
Because the two Imperial Sons and Daughters were truly powerful; he found it difficult to truly kill them, and to a certain extent, he could hardly finish them off in a short time.
Moreover, the current situation did not permit him to expend too much power in a great battle, as he still needed to face an even more terrifying situation. He needed to preserve as much strength as possible.
In the end, both sides still ceased fighting.
On another side, Qian Xun and the Brahman Emperor's Son also stopped fighting. They glanced at each other, knowing it was difficult to determine a victor at the moment, and each snorted coldly.
However, when the Brahman Emperor's Son saw that Shen Qian and Gu Lan had joined forces yet still failed to capture the Battle Saint King, he stared at the Battle Saint King in shock. This Chaos young generation's supreme was far too monstrous, wasn't he? Even two proper Imperial Sons and Daughters working together couldn't take him down. Just how monstrous was this person?
Yet, the more it was like this, the more it filled the three alien Imperial Sons and Daughters with killing intent!
Boom—
On the Ancestral Altar, the battle between Yaya and the Yuanchu Imperial Son was also extremely fierce. Both possessed the power of Time and were existences at the level of Imperial Son prodigies. Their fight was no less intense than the one between Qian Xun and the Brahman Emperor's Son.
Furthermore, both sides were evenly matched; neither could gain a true upper hand. They were locked in a difficult stalemate, and it was impossible to determine a true victor in a short time.
But at this moment, they had already truly approached the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin and were about to make contact.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, after clashing with Yaya, the Yuanchu Imperial Son borrowed the force to soar into the sky, arriving atop the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin. Looking down from a high position, he gazed coldly at the powerhouses: "My apologies, everyone. My father still needs me to awaken him personally. Your services won't be required."
In that instant, the powerhouses' expressions changed.
The scene they least wanted to see had still appeared.
"Attack! We absolutely cannot let the Yuanchu Imperial Son be the first to open the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin!"
The powerhouses all changed color and instantly attacked. Various divine abilities and secret arts all blasted towards the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin at the very top.
But what left everyone dumbfounded was that none of the divine abilities they unleashed could truly hit the Yuanchu Imperial Son. Even more shocking, they all rushed towards the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin.
Hum—
All the attacks were completely swallowed by the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin. Everything became empty.
This scene made people's expressions change. This Nine-Layered Divine Coffin was too demonic and sinister, actually capable of devouring the divine abilities of these venerable ones. Could it be directed by the Yuanchu Great Emperor inside?
Thinking of this, many people suddenly felt panicked.
"Everyone, keep attacking! If the Yuanchu Imperial Son successfully opens the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, the consequences will be even more unimaginable."
A super Great Power spoke up, his expression full of apprehension. Yet at this moment, he also understood that this was the best course of action.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Figures quickly rushed towards the Yuanchu Imperial Son on the Ancestral Altar. No matter what, they had to stop him from opening the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin.
But the Yuanchu Imperial Son gave the powerhouses a sinister smile and suddenly slashed his own palm.
Splat—
A succession of dripping blood sprayed out, landing on the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin. The blood contained the power of the imperial bloodline, shining with dazzling crimson light, dyeing the entire Nine-Layered Divine Coffin red.
Hum—
Visible to the naked eye, the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin began to shine, slowly swallowing all the Imperial Son's blood, making it appear even more malevolent.
And with a clang, a huge coffin lid soared into the sky.
"Attack! We absolutely cannot let the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin open completely!"
No one knew who spoke, but it didn't matter, because the more important thing was to stop the Yuanchu Imperial Son from continuing to open the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin in time.
Yaya was the closest. She was the first to charge forward, her slender jade hands sweeping out. Surprisingly, two vast world phantoms were slowly pushed forth, blasting towards the Yuanchu Imperial Son. This attack could definitely injure even a top young generation's supreme like the Yuanchu Imperial Son.
But the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin was incredibly malevolent. With a hum, it shone and actually swallowed the two world phantoms Yaya had unleashed.
Whoosh—
Yaya retreated immediately and severed the connection to the world phantoms. Otherwise, the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin possessed a peculiar tracking ability that could trace back against the flow, lock onto her, and devour her as well.
Splash—
At the same time, the Yuanchu Imperial Son sprayed out another succession of blood. With a hum, the blood was devoured, and another coffin lid was flung open.
Boom, boom, boom—
In the blink of an eye, blood continuously sprayed. Four more coffin lids flew out from the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin one after another, leaving only three remaining.
However, the more the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin was opened, the more blood was required. Moreover, blood as powerful as that of an Imperial Son-level Great Power was no longer sufficient; essence blood was needed.
Swoosh—
The Yuanchu Imperial Son did not hesitate to use the Wheel of Time to slash open his own chest, piercing through it.
Splat—
A succession of brilliant golden blood sprayed out from within—it was heart essence blood. The essence contained within was countless times more potent than ordinary blood, shining brilliantly.
Clang—
The seventh divine coffin lid was flung open, soaring into the sky. Only two coffin lids remained.
However, the Yuanchu Imperial Son's expression had become exceptionally pale. This heart essence blood was not ordinary blood; it was extremely precious to him, equivalent to his life essence. Even losing a single drop would require a long time to recover. It could not be used lightly, and only at this moment was he willing to spray it out.
The powerhouses' expressions changed. The complete opening of the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin was not far off.
Boom—
Yet at the same time, the powerhouses did not stop attacking. Knowing that ordinary attacks couldn't harm the Yuanchu Imperial Son, they all switched to physical attacks. Many divine weapons and sharp tools were also unleashed, all blasting towards the Yuanchu Imperial Son.
The Yuanchu Imperial Clan powerhouses below were willing but unable to help, as other powerhouses blocked them. At this moment, they simply couldn't break through.
Clang—
The eighth divine coffin lid flew out, immediately blocking all the attacks. All the divine weapons and sharp tools were directly sent flying, and many even shattered.
Moreover, from the deepest ninth ancient coffin within the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, a terrifying devouring force suddenly erupted, sweeping away the many divine weapons and sharp tools and plastering them onto the ancient coffin.
Hum—
All the swept-up divine weapons and sharp tools flickered with divine radiance for a moment, then in an instant, they all shattered one after another, rapidly turning into a pile of powder that dissipated.
