"Kill her? You're not qualified yet!"
A voice suddenly resounded, shaking heaven and earth.
Visible to the naked eye, right beside Abenue, a tall and heroic figure had appeared at some unknown time. His black hair was thick like a waterfall, and a faint moon mark adorned the center of his forehead. It was none other than Ye Chen.
He had appeared, stepping forward to intervene when he saw this mysterious young man attempting to kill Abenue.
The collision of their palms was like the clash of deities, shattering the firmament and tearing the world asunder.
Yet, both men stood firm as mountains, not retreating in the slightest.
The many Heaven's Pride talents watching from afar, including Hua Yuntian and Prince Hua Yu, all experienced a drastic change in expression.
Another mysterious super Heaven's Pride, and one not the least bit inferior to the young man from the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty.
Especially Hua Yuntian and Prince Hua Yu, who clearly understood the identity and strength of this young man. He was not merely the pinnacle of the entire Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty but could be considered among the absolute top echelon, standing at the very peak of the pyramid among the younger generation across the entire Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
Yet, who was this Ye Chen with the faint moon mark on his forehead, who could actually block his attack?
It was simply unbelievable.
"Hmm?" The young man from the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty frowned slightly upon seeing Ye Chen's appearance, his gaze fixed intently on the other.
It wasn't just because Ye Chen had blocked his attack; he actually sensed a faint, elusive sense of danger emanating from Ye Chen. Though not particularly intense, given his status and his keen perception, this could only mean that the Ye Chen before him was undoubtedly a dangerous individual.
This person was even stronger than Abenue.
He looked at Ye Chen and asked with a frown, "Who are you? By obstructing my attack, do you intend to make an enemy of me, Hua Chengdao?"
"Hua Chengdao? Why does that name sound somewhat familiar?"
"Indeed, it does seem familiar."
Upon hearing the name "Hua Chengdao," the young Heaven's Pride talents watching from a distance fell into contemplation.
For some reason, the name felt familiar, yet they couldn't immediately recall who it was. However, soon someone seemed to jolt awake, involuntarily exclaiming, "Hua Chengdao? Could he be that Ancient God Son of the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty who was sealed away?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a wave of sharp intakes of cold breath rippled through the crowd.
In the eyes of the native inhabitants of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, an Ancient God Son was equivalent to an Imperial Son.
In their view, both Emperors and Immortals were referred to as Ancient Gods. Of course, with the successive arrivals of various ancient universe's Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and King Clans in recent years, aside from low-level cultivators, those who had reached a certain level of strength had begun adopting the common terms of the Chaos Sea: Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, Great Emperors, Ancient Emperors, Immortals, and so on.
Occasionally, some still used terms like Ancient God Clan or Ancient God Son.
Hua Chengdao was the Imperial Son of the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty, sealed away since the most ancient of times and emerging in this era.
Chengdao—'Achieving the Dao.' The two characters said it all. It was the hope placed upon Hua Chengdao by the Great Emperor of the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty, wishing for him to achieve the Dao and become an Emperor.
No wonder he was so powerful, capable of cultivating ten strands of Imperial Dragon Qi. So this was the legendary Imperial Son.
"No wonder he's so formidable, easily defeating that golden-haired female Heaven's Pride. So it's Imperial Son Hua Chengdao. That explains everything," the Heaven's Pride talents sighed softly. Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Progeny, and other Supreme Talents were, no matter where they were, considered the strongest among the younger generation, figures who made their peers look up in admiration and despair.
"Hua Chengdao?" Ye Chen's expression remained calm as he said indifferently, "Sorry, never heard of him."
Ye Chen was merely stating the truth, but to others' ears, it sounded incredibly arrogant, as if he didn't place Imperial Son Hua Chengdao in his eyes at all.
Sure enough, Hua Chengdao frowned, then snorted coldly. He strode forward, unleashing ten strands of Imperial Dragon Qi. In an instant, his battle aura soared, oppressive and overwhelming, shattering the void as he advanced. He coldly shouted, "What a 'never heard of him.' Today, let me, Hua Chengdao, properly experience your prowess."
His tone carried an intangible fury. To dare not place Hua Chengdao in his eyes was sheer arrogance.
Boom—
The emergence of the ten strands of Imperial Dragon Qi was countless times stronger than Prince Hua Yu's. Ten visible Primordial True Dragons roared and howled, tearing heaven and earth apart with ease.
Ye Chen first sent Abenue away, then stepped forward as well, saying, "I heard them say you're the Imperial Son of the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty. I've crossed hands with quite a few Imperial Son-level figures myself. I'd also like to experience the strength of you, the Imperial Son of the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty."
With a tremor of his Holy Body, Ye Chen's body suddenly erupted with intense four-colored divine light. Then, Azure Dragon on the left, White Tiger on the right, Vermilion Bird above, and Black Tortoise below—the Four Divine Beasts materialized, filling the firmament and directly confronting the ten Primordial True Dragons, engaging in a fierce collision.
In this clash, Ye Chen held nothing back. A fearsome aura erupted, sweeping across the firmament like a War God descending. Primordial Chaos Qi directly surged forth, enveloping his own body. Moreover, ten divine halos manifested around him as he launched a forceful assault.
Boom—
Ye Chen stepped forward, and with a swing of his fist, 108 divine light dragons danced forth, shaking the heavens, splitting the firmament, and crashing toward the ten strands of Imperial Dragon Qi.
Boom—
This stretch of heaven and earth was directly blasted apart, reduced to nothingness. The void collapsed on a grand scale, and boundless light illuminated all directions. The intensity of the clash was beyond description.
Everyone except the two combatants had to retreat far away, sensing the destructive aura radiating from the clash, not daring to approach in the slightest.
"Imperial Son Hua Chengdao can be considered one of the strongest among the world's younger generation. But who exactly is that other person, who can fight the Imperial Son to such an extent? Could he be another Imperial Son?"
The onlookers sighed inwardly, shocked by Ye Chen's strength.
Amidst the shattered firmament, the two were engaged in a fierce battle, far more intense than Abenue's fight with Hua Chengdao.
Every single collision was enough to shatter heaven and earth. Even the void of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, suppressed by Imperial Dao, could hardly withstand the presence of these two.
Hua Chengdao was an Imperial Son of extreme power. He had clearly discerned Ye Chen's terrifying aspects, feeling a chill in his heart. His expression grew much more solemn as he executed the Imperial Dragon Art, resonating with the ten strands of Imperial Dragon Qi. This caused his own aura to continuously rise. A fearsome blood qi dragon even shot out from the crown of his head, forcefully charging to slaughter Ye Chen.
"Imperial Divine Dragon Seal!"
Hua Chengdao shouted lightly. A divine seal appeared in his hand, coiled with a True Dragon. In an instant, it grew immensely large, flying out like a Primordial Divine Mountain descending from the heavens. Upon it, a True Dragon roared, containing extremely fearsome destructive power.
