Boom—
The terrifying Eight Slaying Immortal Forms seemed as if the Slaying Immortal Great Emperor himself had been resurrected in Christie's hands. Even the descendants of the Slaying Immortal Great Emperor from ancient times had never displayed such a terrifying sight.
The Annihilating Immortal Form took the lead, followed by the Slaughtering Immortal Form, the Assassinating Immortal Form, and the other forms of the Eight Slaying Immortal Forms, attacking one after another, continuously bombarding Ye Chen.
Even faintly, the Eight Slaying Immortal Forms seemed about to merge into one, revealing a power that could startle immortals and overshadow the world.
Legend had it that when the Eight Slaying Immortal Forms merged and were unleashed by the Slaying Immortal Great Emperor, they could truly slaughter a supreme immortal.
Ye Chen dared not be the slightest bit careless. With a clear, resounding roar, his entire aura suddenly surged, his battle intent skyrocketing like lightning. He unleashed the Forbidden Divine Ability of the Battle Saint lineage—
Battle Saint Slaying the Heavens!
He seemed to transform into the Battle Saint Ancestor from the Mythological Era, standing upon the mortal world. The aura of a warrior stirred the heavens, terrifying and boundless, as if he could battle through the thirty-three layers of heaven and shatter the myriad realms. He executed the supreme Battle Saint Technique to meet the attack, clashing fiercely with Christie in an incredibly intense battle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even though Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Body was stronger than the divine bodies of Imperial Sons and Daughters, facing such a terrifying Christie, he was still forced to shed blood continuously.
He had to admit that his opponent was truly powerful. Her mastery of the Eight Slaying Immortal Forms was terrifying to the extreme, even more so than that of the Slaying Immortal Great Emperor's descendant, Shen Rong, from ancient times. This placed Ye Chen under immense, terrifying pressure. His Chaos Saint Body crackled incessantly, his bones and tendons groaning and clattering, on the verge of breaking apart.
However, Christie wasn't faring much better. Facing Ye Chen's barrage of frenzied attacks, she also endured tremendous pressure. Her flawless, mutton-fat jade-like skin developed numerous fine cracks, blood seeping out, presenting a rather miserable and disheveled appearance.
It could be said that in this peak collision, both sides suffered damage.
Ye Chen fought until his entire body was boiling with fervor. Simultaneously, he unleashed other peerless divine abilities, attacking continuously. One moment, he executed the Human King Seal, transforming into the supreme Human Emperor of the myriad realms. The next, he unleashed the Primordial Beginning Emperor Technique, the immortal Emperor Technique of the Time-Space Great Emperor, capable of reversing everything and returning to the origin.
Yet Christie's breadth of knowledge also shocked Ye Chen. With a sweep of her hands, she too unleashed Primordial Beginning, not inferior to Ye Chen in the slightest. The two Primordial Beginning Emperor Techniques clashed and canceled each other out, dissipating into nothingness.
The next moment, Christie's aura surged. Her left hand became Yin, her right hand became Yang—it was actually the Emperor Technique essence of the Great Saint Sovereign, which she also managed to execute.
Ye Chen was astonished. Just how many Great Emperor divine abilities and Emperor Techniques did this Christie master? A person's energy is limited. One can learn many Emperor Techniques, but achieving mastery in them is exceedingly difficult.
Take Ye Chen himself. He had cultivated Primordial Beginning, Battle Saint Slaying the Heavens, Eternal Immortals of Myriad Realms, Annihilating Immortal Form, and other Great Emperor Techniques. Yet, even with his current level of cultivation, he dared not claim complete mastery. These were Emperor Techniques, even Forbidden Divine Abilities, created by supreme Great Emperors and the mightiest Sovereigns. They were as vast as the sea; one might not comprehend even one or two-tenths of their entirety in a lifetime. Ye Chen was like this; he still had a long road ahead to achieve complete enlightenment.
However, Christie's mastery of the various Emperors' divine abilities was remarkably profound, truly surprising Ye Chen. Who exactly was this Christie? How could she master so many Emperor Technique essences, and to such a profound level? It was somewhat unbelievable.
Even if she were a being conjured by the Supreme Ancient Pagoda, it shouldn't be this excessive. Otherwise, even Imperial Sons and Daughters might not be able to pass the trial.
Christie's left hand Yin, right hand Yang—Yin and Yang combined, transforming into a rotating Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, radiating the blazing power of the two polarities, sweeping through the heavens before fiercely charging at Ye Chen.
But Ye Chen was no slouch either. His left eye transformed into a world of death, his right eye into a world of life, similarly forming a rotating Life-Death Taiji diagram. They transformed into each other: the extreme of life is death, the extreme of death is life. Life and death, transforming endlessly—it was the Life-Death Great Dao of the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord. Then, it suddenly blasted towards Christie.
Boom!
The Yin-Yang Taiji diagram met the Life-Death Taiji diagram. One was the Emperor Technique essence of the Great Saint Sovereign, the other the Great Dao essence of the mysterious Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord. Their collision was evenly matched, a true meeting of equals.
Gate Lord, what is your true origin?
Ye Chen sighed inwardly, also recalling that scene in the Heavenly Tribulation world. The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord descended like an Emperor, peerless and unmatched, defeating a supreme immortal, severing a remnant immortal arm, his Emperor's might boundless. Ye Chen deeply felt the Gate Lord's peerlessness and also speculated about his origins.
Unfortunately, he still had no clues to this day.
He also remembered the words the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord vanished with at the Tenth Emperor Pass: Death is not necessarily the end; it could be a brand new beginning.
All these thoughts flashed by in the blink of an eye, not affecting Ye Chen's combat performance in the slightest. Moreover, his combat experience was extremely rich. Seizing the moment when both the Yin-Yang and Life-Death Taiji diagrams annihilated each other, the five viscera within his body suddenly erupted with blazing five-colored divine light. With a thunderous boom, five beams of five-colored light burst forth from him, piercing through the sky and fiercely striking Christie.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Christie's delicate body was stained with blood, five bloody holes appearing for the first time as Ye Chen caught her off guard.
Even her seemingly impervious protective saint light was forcibly blasted open, blood splattering.
She was somewhat stunned, not expecting Ye Chen to be so formidable. She wanted to heal her wounds, but how could Ye Chen let her recover so easily? He too was well-versed in the principle of striking while the iron is hot. With a whoosh, he shot through the nine heavens, directly appearing before her, fast as a streak of aurora, darting and flashing. And at this moment, he revealed another divine ability—
Eternal Immortals of Myriad Realms!
The Forbidden Divine Ability of the Heavenly Emperor, also the most ancient Great Emperor of the Sealed Universe, the first Great Emperor since the opening of the Ancient Universe. His antiquity was untraceable. Even the most ancient existence of the Alien Ancient Universe—the Primordial Generation—was deeply wary of the Heavenly Emperor.
The moment Eternal Immortals of Myriad Realms was unleashed, countless immortal phantoms instantly filled the heavens, crisscrossing and intertwining, wrapped in surging immortal light, all charging towards Christie together.
"You actually know the Heavenly Emperor's Forbidden Divine Ability too?!"
She was somewhat taken aback, but the next moment, she let out a long roar. Her entire being suddenly erupted with a supreme, immortal aura—it was Eternal Immortals of Myriad Realms, the Heavenly Emperor's Forbidden Divine Ability, which Christie also executed.
Boom—
Immortal phantoms manifested throughout the heavens, each one seeming eternally real, immortal energy flowing, majestic and world-shaking.
Eternal Immortals of Myriad Realms versus Eternal Immortals of Myriad Realms!
