The intervention of the Soul-Restraining Hall undoubtedly made the situation even more severe. Under such circumstances, the Primordial Imperial Son felt immense pressure.
However, he concealed himself behind the Emperor's body, resonating with his bloodline to withstand the attacks from the three alien Imperial Sons, Huang Di, and the Soul Forbidden Hall Master.
Yet the situation was critical, and the balance could be shattered at any moment.
This was something even the Primordial Imperial Son hadn't anticipated—the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. There was actually such a terrifying figure who had yet to appear, patiently waiting until now.
At this moment, Ye Chen also moved.
The Emperor's body could not fall into the hands of the alien Imperial Sons, Huang Di, or the Soul Forbidden Hall. Otherwise, it would be a tremendous trouble for him, and he also coveted it.
"Dad, don't intervene. They are all too powerful," Ya Ya spoke up, and the other young supremes of the Moon Hall also voiced their concerns.
Undoubtedly, Ye Chen was indeed powerful, hailed as the strongest young supreme, invincible within the same realm. However, his cultivation level was still insufficient to contend with any of these parties. Intervening now offered no chance of victory.
"It's fine. I have a way."
Ye Chen smiled slightly, signaling for them to rest assured. He immediately focused his mind, communicating with the Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit: "Senior, I need to borrow your power."
The Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit remained silent for a moment before saying, "You should know the principle of cause and effect balance. To gain, one must pay."
Ye Chen took out the Immortal's severed arm, wrapped by the World's Heart to prevent its destructive aura from leaking. "This junior is willing to pay."
"Good. As you wish. But remember, you must not rely excessively on external power, or it will be detrimental to your cultivation," the Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit said after silently looking at him.
"This junior understands!"
The Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit said no more, falling silent. Yet, a force capable of shattering the heavens surged continuously from the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd, instantly filling Ye Chen's limbs and bones.
Ye Chen slowly stretched his muscles and bones, with rumbling sounds constantly emanating from within his body. He could clearly feel how peerless this power was. If he were to strike, he could easily shatter everything.
Sensing the sudden, immense increase in Ye Chen's aura, City Lord Jing Tian, the Nine Phoenix Great Power, and Dan Chen all showed astonishment. However, they did not hesitate at this moment, sending mental messages to summon the other experts to leave. At this stage, even if they intervened, it would be extremely dangerous. Only an Ancient Monarch would be the best choice.
Simultaneously, they took Ya Ya, Little Chen Xi, several young supremes from the Moon Hall, and Jiu She, leaving first.
"Battle Saint King, be careful. Moreover, the invincible monarchs from our Ancient Path will also come."
Ye Chen nodded. "You go ahead first. Ultimately, stay far away from Emperor Birth Star."
Whoosh—
He took a step forward, also charging onto the topmost level of the pyramid ancestral altar. Ascending the altar, the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd appeared in his hand, and the Chaos Great Cauldron accompanied him, descending together.
"Battle Saint King!?"
The three alien Imperial Sons, Huang Di, the Soul Forbidden Hall Master, and the Primordial Imperial Son—all four parties—looked at Ye Chen, each with grave expressions. They could distinctly sense how vast the power within Ye Chen's body was, far surpassing his previous state by many times.
Clearly, this Battle Saint King had also employed some terrifying secret technique to forcibly elevate his cultivation. However, it was unclear what secret technique he had used to become so powerful so suddenly.
"Impossible! How did you become so much stronger all of a sudden?" The three alien Imperial Sons were filled with suspicion and shock.
"You are the husband of the Moon Hall Goddess?"
Huang Di had evidently heard of Ye Chen's reputation, having defeated Taiyi's divine avatar and being the husband of one of the nine overlords, the Goddess. He had naturally heard of him.
"That's right." Facing Huang Di, even with the power transferred from the Heavenly Desolation Divine Spirit, Ye Chen remained solemn. He could not borrow more powerful force; otherwise, the price to pay in the future would be even greater.
"Battle Saint King, I never expected you to participate as well. Perfect timing. I'll capture you and take you back."
On the other side, the Soul Forbidden Hall Master also descended. He was tall and burly, about ten feet in height, clad in fearsome black-gold battle armor. A tail covered in dark scales extended from behind him. Though a humanoid creature, he was terrifying to the extreme, capable of causing the Star Sky to completely collapse.
For he was a truly undisputed Ancient Monarch.
His strength was such that even Huang Di and the three alien Imperial Sons could not compare. At this moment, he gazed coldly at Ye Chen.
All along, the Battle Saint King had ruined several major plans of the Soul Forbidden Hall, causing them to fail at the last moment. Now that they met, naturally, there was extra enmity.
Moreover, he greatly coveted Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Body. This was an extremely crucial part of the Soul Forbidden Hall's eternal grand scheme. If he could capture him, it would surely become an eternal great achievement.
Boom—
The Soul Forbidden Hall Master extended a millstone-sized scaled giant claw. Under the influence of laws, it instantly blotted out the sky and covered the sun. Within the giant claw, a vast world was born, encompassing the Star Sky, intending to suppress the Battle Saint King before him.
"You think you can capture me that easily? Not so simple!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly. The Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd shone with dazzling golden light, flowing with Emperor's might. It directly pierced through the opponent's palm-world and stabbed towards that scaled giant claw.
Clang—
The two collided, instantly causing the Star Sky to shatter, nearly collapsing entirely.
An indescribably vast and mighty force transmitted continuously through the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd. Ye Chen's figure shook violently. Even though the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd neutralized most of the force, he was still sent flying back.
Along the way, the void was easily split in two, creating a massive Star Sky rift, stretching for who knows how many miles.
However, the Chaos Saint Body was peerless. Every inch of his skin and flesh vibrated thousands of times in an instant, quickly dispersing all the force.
Yet Ye Chen's expression was extremely grave. An Ancient Monarch was an Ancient Monarch, hailed as a universe overlord. Even with the Primordial Battle Body Great Halberd in hand, he was still no match, far from it.
This was him. If it were anyone else, even a peak Great Power wielding a supreme Emperor's weapon would be in peril, likely severely injured.
Possessing a supreme Emperor's weapon did not mean invincibility; it merely provided an indestructible weapon. But if the wielder's cultivation gap with the opponent was too vast, the supreme Emperor's weapon could not completely neutralize the opponent's attack. Even a small portion transmitted through could be fatal.
This was akin to a Saint wielding a Great Power-level Dao weapon against a Heavenly King.
No matter how powerful the Saint, how much of the Great Power-level Dao weapon's power could they unleash? It could harm the Heavenly King but not kill him.
And in a collision, under the absolute difference in strength, the Heavenly King could still slay the Saint.
Simultaneously, on the Soul Forbidden Hall Master's scaled giant claw, the scales cracked, revealing a terrifying bloody hole. A stream of purple blood slowly trickled from it, emanating vast waves of blood qi.
