Ye Chen had only been sent flying back about a hundred li, while Mohe Guhua was blasted back a full five hundred li before he managed to halt his momentum.
This was because Ye Chen's Chaos Supreme Body was more powerful, allowing him to more perfectly disperse that force.
"Interesting. Let me see just how strong a true Divine King really is."
Ye Chen let out a hearty laugh, soaring into the sky before actively charging toward Mohe Guhua's position. He circulated Primordial Beginning Sacred Light, purifying everything, his divine might boundless.
Mohe Guhua likewise charged forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The two Divine King-level figures clashed in the demonic realm's earth.
Both possessed combat power at the First Tribulation Divine King level. When they fought in earnest, it was countless times more intense than a battle between Great Powers. With every move, they could shake heaven and earth for hundreds of thousands of li.
Within the demonic realm's earth, vast continents were completely shattered, endless fissures spiderwebbing across the entire world.
The demonic sea surged with terrifying, towering waves, and thick demonic lightning flashed within the demonic clouds.
The boundless continents suffered devastating blows, with who knew how many tens of thousands of li of land collapsing, and countless alien race living beings turning to dust.
The two fought relentlessly. Ye Chen felt not a shred of fear; he fought with exhilarating freedom. This was the first time he had engaged in such a satisfying battle with a Divine King-level opponent.
Moreover, his combat experience was extremely rich. From his weak beginnings, he had constantly battled countless powerhouses, clashed with many of the strongest young supremes, and even fought against emperors in their youth. Here in this demonic realm, he could fight with complete abandon, without any reservations.
In contrast, Mohe Guhua felt increasingly stifled, constantly being suppressed by Ye Chen.
And what was more important—and infuriating—was that this was a junior, a junior from a hostile ancient universe. Not long ago, he had been able to suppress this junior completely, flicking him away with a mere wave of his hand. Yet now, this junior stood as his equal, battling him to this extent.
Although he clearly knew the other party was only like this because of a temporary power-boosting secret art that couldn't last too long, he still felt deeply aggrieved and furious. He roared repeatedly, attacking without cease.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The Divine King-level battle grew even more intense.
After about half an hour, at least a third of the demonic realm had been shattered, with countless alien race living beings reduced to ashes.
Although these alien race beings were nothing more than ants to Mohe Guhua, utterly insignificant, they were part of his Divine King inner world. Having them slaughtered by his opponent in this manner was deeply humiliating.
"Ah—! You little bastard, die!"
Mohe Guhua let out a furious roar. The demonic light around his body instantly intensified many times over, then surged skyward.
Rumble—
In the heavens above, an unimaginably colossal demonic statue appeared. It was so enormous that the thick demonic clouds could only cover its knees. It towered into the outer realms, like a giant god from the dawn of creation, holding a trident in its hand, its demonic might boundless. With a thunderous roar, it stabbed toward Ye Chen.
"You have a demonic statue? I have an Emperor's Shadow!"
Ye Chen shouted loudly. Behind him, a peerlessly majestic and towering giant abruptly manifested, equally supporting the heavens and treading the earth. It wore an imperial crown, its posture supremely grand, flowing with primordial Chaos Qi, as if a Chaos Heavenly Emperor had descended to the mortal world, gazing down upon the long river of time, invincible across past and present.
In the hand of the Emperor's Shadow appeared a great halberd, identical to the Heaven-Withering Great Halberd.
Divine King Dharma Form!
The demonic statue and the Emperor's Shadow collided, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, causing unparalleled destruction.
The two supreme Divine King-level powerhouses battled, causing this vast demonic realm to tremble violently, continuously crumbling into collapse.
The very sky was pierced through.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Soon, Ye Chen's expression changed, because he felt he was about to exit the elevated state of Extreme Sublimation. The duration this time was shorter than before.
This was due to the severe depletion of his divine energy from earlier events: refining the divine pill, extracting the dragon source and imperial dragon qi, and battling the old antiques.
Even after consuming several Great Power pills, he had only recovered part of his strength, far from returning to his peak state.
"It's time to end this."
Ye Chen focused his gaze on Mohe Guhua and said, "You are the first to witness this move from me at Divine King-level combat power. You should consider yourself fortunate."
Suddenly, Mohe Guhua's expression changed drastically, because as he saw Ye Chen swing his sacred fist, the latter's entire aura abruptly underwent a terrifying transformation, filled with a dreadful, oppressive pressure that seemed to extend boundlessly.
Even he, a Divine King, felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"What move is this? Why do I feel such immense pressure?"
"Universe Creation!"
Accompanied by the punch of the Chaos Sacred Fist, Universe Creation was unleashed. That sacred fist quickly manifested the phantom of a hazy, small Chaos Universe, carrying with it the unparalleled pressure of a cosmos—as if the entire great universe were crashing down, bearing vast, endless might.
"No—!"
Mohe Guhua felt utterly incapable of stopping such an attack. He exerted every ounce of his strength to resist, his body erupting with boundless demonic light that surged skyward before clashing head-on.
Rumble—
The Chaos Small Universe crushed everything, tearing through that boundless demonic light and completely engulfing Mohe Guhua himself.
The illusory Chaos Small Universe was only about thirty zhang in diameter, but within a mustard seed lies a universe. It utterly encompassed Mohe Guhua and the unimaginably vast demonic statue behind him, drawing them all into the Chaos Small Universe.
Boom—
The Chaos Small Universe, suffused with primordial Chaos Qi, underwent creation, continuously manifesting one plane world after another, giving birth to the Myriad Heavens and Worlds. Countless stars orbited within, all shimmering with brilliant radiance.
Mohe Guhua roared, and the unimaginable demonic statue behind him roared as well, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, seeking to destroy everything, constantly attacking all within the Chaos Small Universe.
Visibly, the manifested plane worlds within began to shatter one by one, turning into brilliant streams of light.
"Annihilation!"
From outside, Ye Chen uttered a single command. The Chaos Small Universe instantly began to collapse.
Rumble—
The Chaos Small Universe, only thirty zhang across, immediately started to crumble. The massive, spherical cosmic phantom slowly twisted and rapidly disintegrated, containing unimaginable destructive power.
The manifested Myriad Heavens and Worlds completely exploded, turning into clusters of annihilating light that ignited the heavens.
Within, Mohe Guhua was filled with terror.
Because as the Chaos Small Universe collapsed and was destroyed, even his demonic statue could not withstand it. Amidst the collapse, it too rapidly headed toward complete destruction, shattering inch by inch, a horrifying sight.
"No! I am a Divine King! How could I die at the hands of a junior? Impossible!"
He let out a fierce roar, circulating infinite, boundless mighty power, desperately resisting. Astonishingly, he managed to slow the collapse of the Chaos Small Universe.
Simultaneously, from all directions within the demonic realm heaven and earth, unparalleled heavenly might surged forth, rushing toward this location.
