The appearance of the God-Slaying Ancient put everyone on high alert.
This God-Slaying Ancient was notoriously famous. Over the years, many brilliant and outstanding young talents had suddenly vanished without a trace, and rumors all pointed to this God-Devouring Clan.
Now, with the emergence of a terrifying ninth-level Great Power Old Antique from the God-Devouring Clan, it must be said that everyone within the entire Trial Ancient City wore expressions of fear.
Some even wanted to summon the old City Lord guarding this checkpoint, also a peerless Great Power of the ninth heaven. Only he could step forward to block the God-Slaying Ancient's killing advance.
However, when people looked at the God-Slaying Ancient's opponent, they all revealed looks of disbelief.
"Impossible! The God-Slaying Ancient's opponent is actually a young Heaven's Pride!?"
"How is that possible? The God-Slaying Ancient is so terrifying. Which member of the younger generation could possibly face it? Even veteran Great Powers who go up against the God-Slaying Ancient basically die upon engagement. Perhaps it's some peerless Old Antique who has concealed their identity, appearing with a youthful appearance. That's not impossible either, after all, these Old Antiques all like to present themselves with youthful looks."
"No, it's not an Old Antique. That person is clearly a young Heaven's Pride. That kind of blood energy is full of vitality and is boundlessly powerful; it's definitely not something an Old Antique could possess."
"What a formidable young Heaven's Pride! Who in the world is he, to be so powerful as to engage in fierce battle with the God-Slaying Ancient? And his body is wreathed in chaotic light, refining the laws of ten thousand Daos. Could it be that some supremely powerful Emperor's son or daughter has returned?"
Many were shocked, yet for a time, they couldn't guess the true identity of that young Heaven's Pride.
During this, the old City Lord within the Trial Ancient City was awakened, about to be stirred into action.
At the same moment, the two figures who had rushed out from the endless spatial turbulence were locked in battle, their divine power boiling.
Ye Chen's blood energy was boiling, flooding the entire star domain. From the crown of his head, a great Chaos Dragon surged forth, shaking the eight directions of the starry sky. His upper body was bare, revealing his flawless Chaos Saint Body. Every line of his physique was filled with boundless power, as if countless great dragons lay dormant within his muscles and skin. The slightest movement could shake the entire starry sky, his black hair dancing wildly.
Even though his body bore numerous wounds, staining the starry sky with blood, he still resembled an invincible, peerless War God, his boundless might sweeping across all heavens.
On the other side, although the God-Slaying Ancient's blood energy was no longer at its peak, its entire body was submerged in immeasurable Great Dao rules. Being at the ninth heaven realm, how powerful it was—almost finding no match in the vast world. Yet now, a fifth-level young Supreme One of the human race could engage it in fierce battle for a full hour.
Although this human young Supreme One was bleeding and bore many wounds, how much better off was it? The dark-red body armor it had manifested was cracked, spilling some blood, causing its aura to drop significantly.
After all, it was old and its body was declining. Its divine body was far from its peak state, and its blood energy was no longer vigorous. A battle like this consumed a lot of blood energy and would also damage its lifespan, which was very unfavorable for it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so eager to devour Ye Chen, this human young Supreme One.
"So strong, so terrifying, so monstrous."
This was the God-Slaying Ancient's evaluation of Ye Chen. And precisely because of this, its desire for Ye Chen grew even more intense. Such a powerful Saint Body physique—if devoured, it would absolutely have a chance to return to its peak, even a chance to advance further, stepping into that Nine Tribulations realm, and it was highly possible to gaze upon the domain of the Ancient Sovereigns.
Moreover, it understood that Ye Chen relied on a boosting secret technique to be this powerful. Such boosting secret techniques ultimately weren't permanent; they had time restrictions. Probably, it was almost time now.
Once the time limit was up, this human young Supreme One would fall back. That would be the opportunity to harvest him.
The God-Slaying Ancient was dead set on devouring Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's heart sank slightly. He naturally knew what this Old Antique was thinking, and just as the other thought, the time limit was about to arrive.
Once that step arrived, he would not only fall back to his original realm but would also be in a weakened state, which was quite unfavorable for the current situation.
However, he noticed the Star City in the distant sky. Although he was surprised that this Star City was as bustling and lively as the Trial Ancient Cities on the Ultimate Ancient Path, now wasn't the time to ponder such things.
He let out a great roar. The chaotic light around his entire body exploded, growing even stronger by a notch. Standing atop the cauldron, he executed the Human King Seal, transforming into the Supreme Human Emperor of the Myriad Domains. The Supreme Ancient Tower resonated and was activated, rippling with threads of Sovereign heavenly might. It actually pressed forward to suppress and kill, putting the God-Slaying Ancient in grave crisis.
The God-Slaying Ancient also let out a great roar.
Naturally, this clan had once produced a peerless Monarch who was invincible across the great cosmos, only a step away from stepping into the supreme Emperor domain. Even though, after being besieged by the powerful experts of the great cosmos' heavens and forced to decline from its peak, the Monarch's battle weapon was shattered in that war, it still left behind a set of invincible killing formation diagrams. Now, it was summoned forth, colliding with the Supreme Ancient Tower. Instantly, it shattered this star domain. The terrifying destructive fluctuations even rushed toward the Star City, threatening to affect and destroy this bustling Star City.
Buzz—
The Star City was extraordinary. It actually bloomed with immortal light, resisting the impact.
At the same time, Ye Chen's aura rapidly weakened. The time for the Chaos secret technique had run out; he was about to fall back.
The God-Slaying Ancient laughed with a long cry: "Hahaha, kid, your time to die has come!"
Its opportunity had arrived, and it immediately took action, charging toward Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen not only showed no fear but instead smiled slightly at the God-Slaying Ancient. His mocking voice entered its ears: "Old fellow, you miscalculated!"
Swish—
Ye Chen had long been prepared. The Chaos Great Cauldron trembled, releasing terrifying chaotic light. The Primordial Emperor Technique, which had been imprinted within it earlier, erupted. He had inscribed it while executing the Chaos secret technique, timing it perfectly. Now, as it erupted, it was equivalent to Ye Chen at his peak performing the technique.
Everything was reversing. Even the God-Slaying Ancient was no exception, forced to return to the origin point of everything.
"No—!"
The God-Slaying Ancient roared unwillingly.
But Ye Chen, riding the Chaos Great Cauldron, flashed into the Star City like lightning, and his entire person weakened.
The God-Slaying Ancient, not sparing its blood energy, burned it to erupt with full power, ultimately breaking free from the restraints of the Primordial Emperor Technique and killing its way into the Star City. Its icy voice rang out: "Kid, you're still going to die."
Boom—
Just as the God-Slaying Ancient was about to charge into the Star City, the entire city trembled.
At this moment, within the Star City, another terrifying might surged forth, not the slightest bit weaker than the God-Slaying Ancient's, completely blocking the God-Slaying Ancient's pressure from entering.
