"Quite arrogant."
The light in Maha Eternal King's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp as a blade.
"I'd like to see if you truly possess such capability."
He was no ordinary figure. Not only was he a member of the Maha Imperial Clan, he was the product of a union between two imperial clans—a descendant born from the marriage alliance between the Maha Imperial Clan and another imperial clan. Born with the powerful Emperor Bloodline Power of two imperial clans, he was endowed with Supreme combat power surpassing ordinary people.
At this moment, his entire body was wreathed in a gloomy black light, accompanied by a brilliant radiance, with both black and white light coexisting. Although he was not an Imperial Son or Imperial Maiden, his bloodline power was evidently extremely pure and powerful. As he stepped forward, a terrifying aura swept towards Ye Chen.
"No need for more arrogant words. Accept the challenge. Let me see just how much weight you carry."
Maha Eternal King challenged Ye Chen.
"Great Power Eighth Heaven—a very strong Supreme Heavenly Pride from an imperial clan!"
Many Heaven's Pride prodigies changed expressions. Being at the Great Power Eighth Heaven level, he could be considered a top figure among super Great Powers. Moreover, as a Supreme Heavenly Pride, he also had bonuses to his combat power, making him naturally even stronger, far surpassing ordinary Great Power Eighth Heaven cultivators.
Without a doubt, this was an extremely fearsome imperial clan Heaven's Pride.
"It seems you are not an Imperial Son," Ye Chen said. He opened his Heaven's Eye and discovered that the other party indeed possessed vigorous Emperor Bloodline Power within his body—more than one kind. His blood energy was as deep as an abyss and vast as the sea, containing extraordinary, immense potential. Even in this glorious era where numerous Supreme Heavenly Prides stood side by side, he could absolutely be considered a favored son of heaven.
It was just a pity that compared to a true Imperial Son, there was still a significant gap.
He could forcefully suppress Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens. A so-called Supreme Heavenly Pride who was merely a Great Power Eighth Heaven, even if he were a high-level young Supreme, was not something he took to heart.
"I am not an Imperial Son, but so what? Teaching you a lesson is a simple matter."
Maha Eternal King spoke coldly, striding forward to press the attack. His body was accompanied by gloomy black light and blazing divine radiance, the bloodline power of two imperial clans displayed without reservation. With a casual lift of his hand, profound principles manifested as if plucking a flower, his sweeping hand launching an attack towards Ye Chen.
Without a doubt, this was a rather fearsome attack. If another Great Power Eighth Heaven encountered it, they would be either dead or severely injured, enough to show how terrifying Maha Eternal King was.
However, Ye Chen stood motionless. Facing a mere non-Imperial Son like Maha Eternal King, there was no need for him to act personally. Behind him, Mo Haishen made his move, his body shining with a brilliant, expansive light, waves of radiance surging forth as if the true Sea God had descended.
Boom—
The two collided. Divine brilliance and black light flashed violently, tearing through the void, yet neither gained the slightest upper hand.
"And who are you?"
Maha Eternal King's expression changed. He hadn't expected such a powerful opponent to emerge, shocking him.
"Mo Haishen, follower of the Battle Saint King," Mo Haishen stated.
"Seeking death! A mere follower dares to fight me?"
Maha Eternal King's expression darkened further. Although this follower was also strong, engaging in battle like this—only fighting a follower—unintentionally demeaned his own status, as if he were only worthy of fighting followers.
With a light shout, thousands of Dao marks instantly bloomed, delineating this stretch of heaven and earth, marking out a circular area to refine into a small world, intending to trap Mo Haishen within and then deal with the Battle Saint King at his leisure.
Boom—
However, Mo Haishen was also no ordinary figure. Over the past ten years, he had made significant breakthroughs, also stepping into the Great Power Eighth Heaven realm. Now, as he acted, employing the familiar Dao of Water, with a wave of his hand he transformed this stretch of heaven and earth into a vast ocean, its majesty reaching the nine heavens.
He stood at the center of the boundless ocean, stirring up towering waves thousands of miles high that threatened to surge into the clouds. The Sea God's Trident appeared in his hand, shattering that small world, and then he engaged in a duel with this Maha Eternal King.
In every move, profound principles were present. At this level, it was simply effortless, with all manner of profound principles coming to hand as needed.
It must be said that Maha Eternal King indeed possessed exceptional strength. He was a super Great Power at the Eighth Heaven, his cultivation profound and mystical. Moreover, he was born from the fusion of two Emperor Bloodline Powers, accompanied by extraordinary significance from birth—the two imperial clans had intentionally attempted a breakthrough through bloodline fusion. Therefore, he also possessed unimaginable potential and was extremely proficient in the divine abilities and secret arts of the Maha Imperial Clan. Various imperial clan divine abilities were executed by him with exquisite precision; even an ordinary strike was enough to shatter heaven and earth.
This was his terrifying strength.
Mid-stage Great Power Eighth Heaven!
In comparison, Mo Haishen was slightly inferior. His cultivation had also reached the Eighth Heaven, but he was only at the early stage, faintly at a slight disadvantage.
However, having followed Ye Chen for many years, frequently receiving his guidance, and also accumulating a vast amount of cultivation resources, even Maha Eternal King, who was a small level higher, found it quite difficult to defeat Mo Haishen.
"Ah—! A mere follower, die quickly!"
The prolonged bitter struggle without achieving the expected results made Maha Eternal King quite anxious and irritable. With a roar, the black and white light on his body erupted intensely, the bloodline power of the two imperial clans fully surging.
Boom—
A streak of residual light flashed. The illusory heavens and earth that had manifested in the void due to the clash between the two directly exploded one after another. Maha Eternal King was like a great demon god, traversing the sky. A black-and-white divine sword appeared in his hand—his own Dao sword, called the Eternal King Sword.
Whoosh—
The Eternal King Sword cleaved heaven and earth, as if directly splitting this stretch of heaven and earth into two halves. It was truly fearsome.
Mo Haishen blocked with the Sea God's Trident. With a metallic clang, countless sparks exploded like numerous flying fire meteors, melting the void—a truly terrifying sight.
Boom—
In the end, Mo Haishen's figure was sent flying backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. In a direct confrontation, he was slightly inferior to Maha Eternal King.
However, this was also because Maha Eternal King was at the mid-stage of Great Power Eighth Heaven, a small level higher, leading to some disparity in strength between them.
Yet, Maha Eternal King had only barely defeated Mo Haishen.
"Master, my apologies for failing to achieve victory in battle," Mo Haishen said apologetically.
Ye Chen said, "There's no need for you to blame yourself. The opponent is indeed strong, his realm higher than yours. Moreover, he possesses the relatively pure Emperor Bloodline Power of two imperial clans, holding certain advantages in multiple aspects. Your defeat is not a mistake."
Maha Eternal King pointed his sword at Ye Chen and said coldly, "Battle Saint King, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
All eyes were upon them.
Hearing this, Ye Chen also gave a light smile and said, "It seems you are quite determined to defeat me."
Maha Eternal King sneered coldly, "Not determination, just unwilling to see a fraud who deceives the world. Defeating you will also allow me to leave my name on the Heavenly Rankings, proving my invincible path."
Ye Chen's gaze swept towards the Maha Imperial Maiden, then towards the other alien Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens, and said, "Whether I am a fraud who deceives the world, it seems they haven't told you. However, to avoid further trouble from others, the only option is to act before almost all the Heaven's Pride prodigies of the entire Ten Heavens Ancient Domain to intimidate those with ill intentions."
