Ye Chen went on a great killing spree, charging into their midst like a wolf among sheep, slaughtering in all directions. Even the Old Antiques felt their hearts pounding; one-on-one, none were a match for Ye Chen at this moment.
Ye Chen swung his Immortal Saint Fist, and one hundred and eight divine light dragons danced forth, collapsing the six directions and eight wastelands, effortlessly shattering and annihilating the many experts from the various major powers. The void crumbled, as if everything had ceased to exist.
In that instant, a full seven Great Powers were slain.
Ye Chen was too terrifying, his combat power so formidable it could almost rival some of those who had just stepped into the Nine Tribulations Realm. He pushed forward, sweeping all before him.
The various major powers were as if facing a great enemy, their expressions changing one after another. The other members of the younger generation could only retreat far away, utterly unable to intervene.
"Join forces, deal with this brat together!" An Old Antique spoke up, his expression somewhat ugly, but he had no choice.
"Agreed!"
Immediately, a full four Old Antiques charged forward to deal with Ye Chen together.
Instantly, Ye Chen was jointly held back by the four Old Antiques.
Ye Chen's blood energy surged, vast between heaven and earth. Every pore of his body erupted with fiery divine radiance. He was like a Heavenly God walking the mortal world, each fist and kick containing immeasurable, peerless combat power. He charged through, causing the figures of the four Old Antiques to tremble violently. From time to time, blood even trickled from the corners of their mouths, their faces somewhat pale and filled with shock.
Moreover, during the battle, Ye Chen still had energy to spare. He successively slew another seven or eight Great Powers from the various major forces, causing their experts to retreat far away.
This junior before their eyes was far more fearsome and powerful than imagined, not to be underestimated.
"Everyone, hold nothing back." The Old Antique from the Luo Tian royal clan spoke. They glanced at each other, all nodding, and each of them fiercely unleashed a significantly more terrifying level of combat power from within their bodies, attacking Ye Chen with booming force.
Worthy of being Old Antiques, having lived for so many years and being the highest echelons of royal clans, who among them didn't have a trump card? In battle, they actually managed to somewhat restrain Ye Chen in his elevated state.
They displayed truly fearsome Old Antique methods. With each fist and kick, they revealed unfathomable might. A mere raise of their hands could shatter the heavens and destroy the void, causing everything to cease to exist.
The four Old Antiques joined forces, positioned in the four directions of east, south, west, and north, as if they were the four poles of heaven and earth, suppressing even Ye Chen in his state of Extreme Sublimation within their formation, making it difficult for him to break free.
"Hmm?"
Ye Chen obviously noticed this as well, inwardly sighing in admiration. Even though these Old Antiques were nearing the great limit of their Lifespan, their blood energy no longer vigorous, even on their last legs with one foot already stepping into the coffin, they were still terrifying. Their realms had reached the peak within the Great Power realm, almost able to break into the Nine Tribulations Realm.
Even some top-tier Great Powers at the ninth heaven with vigorous blood energy, encountering such Old Antiques, would find it difficult to gain any advantage easily.
Although Ye Chen had achieved Extreme Sublimation, his aura vaguely transcended the Great Power realm and broke into the Nine Tribulations Realm, yet he was not completely there. Moreover, with four Old Antiques attacking jointly, for a time he could not gain the upper hand. Vaguely, he even seemed on the verge of being completely suppressed.
This battle lasted a full two hours. The endurance of Ye Chen's state was truly astonishing, fighting until the four Old Antiques coughed up blood repeatedly, even sustaining Dao injuries.
Moreover, such a prolonged battle severely drained their blood energy, equivalent to accelerating the expenditure of their Lifespan. This was undoubtedly fatal, making them somewhat regretful.
But thinking that obtaining the Imperial Ring might allow them to gain an Emperor Dao inheritance, or at the very least step into the Nine Tribulations Realm and increase their Lifespan, thinking this far, the several Old Antiques all felt it was not a loss.
Boom—
Finally, Ye Chen fell from his elevated state, his aura greatly weakened.
"Brat, you've finally reached your limit."
The four Old Antiques saw the dawn of hope and couldn't help but laugh heartily. Seeing his aura so weak it couldn't even compare to an ordinary seventh heaven Great Power, they sneered repeatedly.
The experts of the various major powers also breathed a sigh of relief. After suffering such heavy losses, they had finally waited for this moment. Otherwise, if this Emperor's Son Level Heaven's Pride continued his ferocity, they felt they would have had to retreat; he was simply unstoppable.
"He will ultimately fall."
The Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens in the distant sky spoke coldly.
"A pity for a generation's Strongest Young Supreme, just a bit foolish, trapped in a dead end. If he hadn't pursued, perhaps it wouldn't have come to this." Another Imperial Son sighed lightly. After all, he was a Strongest Young Supreme of the same level; his fall now brought a touch of the sadness of the fox mourning the hare.
But soon, their faces returned to indifference.
Because they needed no sympathy. The path of cultivation was like this. No one had a truly smooth journey. Not even Imperial Sons and Daughters or immortal descendants could avoid it. Along the way, they would encounter countless powerful enemies, meeting difficulties head-on. The path of the Emperor Dao was paved with bleached bones.
Now, the fall of a Strongest Young Supreme, for them, also reduced a competitor for the future struggle for the "Supreme One" immortal fate. They were happy to see it happen.
"Let's go, see who has the ability to obtain the Imperial Ring on this Strongest Young Supreme's body!"
Several Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens prepared to move. Their figures blurred as they all unleashed overwhelming might.
These royal clan Old Antiques all thought the Imperial Ring was about to fall into their hands effortlessly. However, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
Ye Tianchen was the cicada, the various major powers were the mantis, but the Imperial Sons and Daughters were the most fearsome oriole.
"Junior, die!"
An Old Antique lightly but fiercely slapped out a palm towards Ye Chen's chest, containing the power of the strongest laws, intending to extinguish all of Ye Chen's vitality.
But at this moment, Ye Chen, in a state of absolute weakness, suddenly gave a brilliant smile, his teeth white and dazzlingly eye-catching: "Do you really think I would die like this?"
The four Old Antiques' hearts trembled violently, as if they had realized something. One among them urgently shouted: "Quick, retreat! This junior is going to self-detonate!"
Everyone was startled. At the same time, Ye Chen's entire body fiercely erupted with dazzlingly brilliant, fiery radiance, and then he fiercely exploded.
Boundless, endless light surged forth, accompanied by the most fearsome destructive force. With a deafening boom, it completely spread out, instantly and easily tearing apart layer upon layer of the void.
Ye Chen's self-detonation—that was the self-detonation of an Emperor's Son Level Supreme Heaven's Pride. How terrifying was that power of self-detonation? It simply shook the region for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Even far away in the Ancient Platform Mountain Range, it was heard by the various major powers. One by one, they soared into the sky, gazing into the distance towards this direction, witnessing an incomparably dazzling radiance violently blooming forth.
In an instant, it illuminated the entire pitch-black long night, bright as day, supremely eye-catching.
