The Imperial Son merely snorted coldly. From within his emerald-green life light sphere, a phantom of an incomparably massive, colossal tree suddenly appeared. It was enormous beyond measure; saying it blotted out the sky and sun would be an understatement. Its sturdy trunk was countless times thicker than a mountain range, and even a single branch was as thick as a mountain. Countless vines hung down, resembling numerous forest dragons.
"Life Ancestral Tree!"
The Imperial Son roared. The Life Ancestral Tree was indescribably vast, its end invisible to the naked eye. One could see that the countless vines hanging down were even thicker than mountain ranges, each transforming into a fearsome wooden Azure Dragon, roaring and tearing towards Ye Chen.
The immense trunk itself seemed to bear a vast star domain. As its canopy shook, countless stars could be seen tumbling down, transforming into terrifying swathes of meteors hurtling towards Ye Chen, carrying boundless destructive power.
This was the terrifying aspect of an Imperial Son!
With a mere gesture, endless meteors transformed into a terrifying meteor shower descending from the heavens, crashing forward as if to annihilate everything.
Simultaneously, another Imperial Son phantom, his entire body bathed in crimson-gold light, with fierce horns and a majestic, imposing aura befitting an Emperor's bearing, opened his mouth and spewed forth a stream of crimson-gold immortal light. This light then transformed into an enormous Golden Crow, possessing three legs. As it spread its wings, it could completely shroud the Nine Supreme Peaks, appearing like an unparalleled crimson-gold sun descending from the sky. Accompanied by boundless crimson-gold immortal flames, it surged majestically towards Ye Chen.
Within the immortal flames, thick crimson-gold divine chains shot forth one after another, piercing through the sky and weaving across the heavens. Among them, nine Golden Crows, each ten thousand miles in size, transformed into nine suns, crashing down with earth-shattering force, carrying the annihilating power to destroy all.
The third Imperial Son phantom was clad in azure-gold divine armor, with golden hair flowing loosely. He held a trident in his hand, resembling the sea god Poseidon from myth.
He brandished that azure-gold trident, unleashing boundless azure light that transformed into a vast ocean pouring down from the sky, surging forward. Within it, countless terrifying sea beasts leaped upon the waves, and a fearsome sea god strode upon the tides, wielding a trident shaped like the one in the phantom's hand but immeasurably thicker and larger. It cleaved through this stretch of heaven and earth, also charging forth to attack.
The three Imperial Son phantoms simultaneously displayed their supreme power, rarely joining forces to attack the Battle Saint King together.
This scene drew the attention of the numerous trial prodigies within the Misty Glow Secret Realm.
It could be said this was extremely rare—Imperial Sons joining forces, even if only Dao bodies created from Essence Blood, targeting a single individual. It was astonishing, enough to sweep away everything.
This time, even if the Battle Saint King were defeated, no one would blame him, for it was only natural. No one could simultaneously withstand the assaults of three Imperial Sons of the same level; not even an Emperor or a supreme immortal in their youth could.
"Well met!"
Ye Chen, however, let out a long roar, his black hair erupting like countless black dragons roaring. Facing the combined assault of the three Imperial Son phantoms, he did not retreat but advanced instead. Fierce Chaos Light suddenly erupted from his body.
Boom—
His aura instantly intensified greatly, as if a Chaos Great Emperor were on the move. Immediately, the Azure Dragon to his left, the White Tiger to his right, the Vermilion Bird above, and the Black Tortoise below—the Four Sacred Beasts—circled around him. Yet, with his first move, he unleashed the Three Chaos Styles—
World-Creating Style! Nihility Style!
Myriad Realms Style!
Right from the start, he used the Three Chaos Styles, comprehended over twenty-five years of seclusion, to clash head-on with the three Imperial Son phantoms. The terrifying, boundless destructive fluctuations directly obliterated the Nine Supreme Peaks, leveling them to the ground, leaving only the mysterious ancient coffin at the center.
Divine might like a prison!
The numerous trial prodigies were all dumbfounded. This Battle Saint King was truly defying the heavens, actually withstanding the three Imperial Son phantoms single-handedly.
On another front, Ye Chen's Chaos Supreme Body also engaged in fierce battle with Imperial Son An Yu's Essence Blood Dao body. Both were the strongest among the young generation's supreme, individuals who had evolved every aspect to the utmost limit of their level. Once they clashed, the intensity was naturally extreme, causing most of the Misty Glow Secret Realm to tremble violently.
Imperial Son An Yu, among the strongest on the Supreme Ancient Path, his Original Body was within the Ten Heavens Realm, having received personal guidance from a true Great Emperor. He had also inherited the strongest imperial bloodline power, a famous, peerless supreme existence within the same realm.
Even as just an Essence Blood Dao body, he was terrifyingly powerful. With every gesture, he unleashed streams of demonic and sinister black light, transforming into hordes of demons. Colossal figures that looked down upon the Nine Heavens throughout the ages also manifested. Emperor techniques were executed by him, sweeping across all directions, capable of easily slaughtering Great Powers of the same level, suppressing young supremes of the same level, whether initial or advanced, with a mere raise of his hand.
However, Ye Chen's Chaos Supreme Body, as long as the distance wasn't excessively far, possessed combat power no less than his Original Body and could also execute various supreme divine abilities.
Boom—
Ye Chen's Chaos Supreme Body transformed with a shake. The ancient Chaos aura around it suddenly shifted, transforming into endless, boundless Primordial Holy Light, said to purify all things, possessing a particular effectiveness against alien races with demonic and sinister attributes.
Visibly, the Primordial Holy Light transformed into a radiant holy sun, completely enveloping Ye Chen's Chaos Supreme Body. He then executed the emperor technique mysteries of the Angel Emperor Clan, engaging in a terrifying duel with Imperial Son An Yu.
Moreover, the Chaos Supreme Body deliberately drew Imperial Son An Yu into the other battlefield of the Original Body, truly bringing all four Imperial Son phantoms together.
The Original Body and the Chaos Supreme Body each took on two Imperial Son phantoms, ensuring the Original Body, at the very least, wouldn't bear excessive pressure.
"In the name of Aoste, I strip you of your life!"
Among them, the Life Imperial Son shouted. Suddenly, he assumed a solemn, dignified bearing. Behind him, the Life Ancestral Tree stood majestically across thirty-three layers of heaven, its canopy capable of encompassing the myriad stars of the heavens, its branches and vines rivaling Azure Dragons. Boundless Life Light descended, within which an intangible yet uniquely supreme law power surged towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's Original Body felt the skin of his peerless, indestructible Chaos Saint Body begin to show signs of withering. Patches of radiant light were flying off his body, streaming towards that Life Ancestral Tree—it was Life Light dissipating.
Indeed, even the Life Great Dao, cultivated to its extreme, could become a terrifying weapon for killing.
"Return to me!"
Ye Chen roared. Ten layers of divine halos manifested around his body, condensing into a single indestructible immortal ring that settled upon him, completely locking in the dissipating Life Light.
Furthermore, he brandished the Life Heavenly Sword, altering its trajectory, attempting to seize back the flying life essence.
However, Imperial Son Aoste's mastery of the Life Great Dao was far stronger than Ye Chen's, making it difficult to reclaim. The former sneered coldly, "Battle Saint King, although you are indeed heaven-defying, wanting to reclaim this life essence before me, Aoste, is impossible."
"Is that so?"
Ye Chen spoke, his tone calm. Yet, behind him, a vast, boundless phantom suddenly appeared, majestic and grand.
Within it, a previously unseen divine tree materialized hazily, immeasurably ancient and massive, not much smaller than the Life Ancestral Tree behind Imperial Son Aoste. It was not the Life Ancestral Tree, yet it influenced the flow of time itself.
