A generation's Divine King, the Dark Dragon Divine King, had fallen.
His divine mark was imprinted upon the wall of the Chaos Great Cauldron, shining brilliantly as if he could be resurrected at any moment. It was the most resplendent alongside the mark of the Ancient Hua Divine King on the other side.
The great cauldron rose and fell, flowing with countless layers of ancient Chaos Qi. The marks of numerous powerful figures flickered in and out of existence, recording the mighty ones slain in the past.
There was also a mark not much weaker than those of the two Divine Kings—the mark of the Dark Heavenly Imperial Son.
These Great Dao marks all bore witness to Ye Chen's glorious battle achievements, setting him off as even more peerless in the world.
Even if he was not a Divine King, he could still slay a Divine King!
The fall of the Dark Dragon Divine King naturally shocked the other two Divine Kings of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan deeply, their faces turning deathly pale.
The Battle Saint King truly possessed the power to slay a Divine King. How utterly heaven-defying was this?
At this moment, Ye Chen's complexion was somewhat pale. Confronting a supreme powerhouse of the Divine King Realm, even if it was only a One Tribulation Divine King, was still far too draining on his divine energy.
The final blow was the fusion of a thousand ordinary strikes, and by seizing a certain initiative, Ye Chen had managed to accomplish this feat.
However, nearly seventy to eighty percent of his power had been expended. He was currently quite weak.
One must know that Ye Chen's divine power had always been vast, far surpassing that of Great Powers of the same level by many times. Yet even he had reached this state. One could imagine the arduousness of this battle; it was by no means as easy as imagined.
After all, he was only at the eighth level of the Great Power Realm. No matter how heaven-defying, slaying a One Tribulation Divine King left him weakened.
If he were also a One Tribulation Divine King, Ye Chen's confrontation with the Dark Dragon Divine King would be completely incomparable; he could suppress and kill with a mere raise of his hand.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged in the void. Chaos Dao Fire rose from within the Chaos Great Cauldron, refining the collected half of the Dark Dragon Divine King's flesh and blood essence. Before long, two thumb-sized Divine King Energy Pills dropped down.
The Divine King Energy Pills were entirely of a black-gold hue. Vaguely, a dark true dragon seemed to coil around each pill's surface, vivid and lifelike. The pills themselves contained unimaginably vast divine energy, deep as an abyss, vast as the sea, mighty enough to strike the heavens.
Just one of these Divine King Energy Pills condensed a quarter of the Dark Dragon Divine King's divine energy, stronger even than the power of an Old Antique.
Ye Chen swallowed one. Upon entering his body, the Divine King Energy Pill transformed into boundless Great Dao divine energy, and it was pure Divine King-level divine energy at that, carrying the sinister attributes of the alien race.
Fortunately, Ye Chen possessed a Chaos constitution, capable of accommodating forces of all attributes, including those of the alien race. He directly smelted and refined it into the purest Chaos divine energy. Before long, all his expended power was fully restored. In the end, there was even some overflow, his aura becoming slightly stronger, beginning to approach the late stage.
But it was still not enough.
Without a second word, Ye Chen directly swallowed the second Divine King Energy Pill. Once consumed, another surge of extremely pure Great Dao energy filled his limbs and bones, saturating every inch of his meridians.
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Chen immediately sat cross-legged in the void and began refining.
Boom—
Soon, his entire aura underwent a change, directly rising to the late stage of the eighth level of the Great Power Realm, slowly progressing towards the peak.
Finally, all the Divine King energy was refined and absorbed into his body. His aura surpassed what it had been before.
Unfortunately, that was all. He was ultimately too powerful, and his Chaos Saint Body surpassed ordinary Divine King bodies. The divine energy his body could contain also far exceeded that of Great Powers at the same level.
The divine energy of a One Tribulation Divine King was formidable, enough to make even an Old Antique unable to withstand its might, causing them to be crushed to dust. Yet it could not elevate Ye Chen much. Reaching the late stage was already quite extraordinary.
Ye Chen rose to his feet and looked towards the other two Divine King powerhouses of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan, his gaze icy. "Senior, Qingqing, kill them."
"Good!"
Originally harboring some reservations, the Tongtian Old Divine King and Qingqing, upon hearing Ye Chen's command, immediately saw their power surge by a large margin. The two Dark Heaven Imperial Clan members quickly retreated step by step, utterly no match for them.
"Die!"
The Tongtian Old Divine King was the most powerful. Turning his hand brought clouds, covering his hand brought rain—manipulating clouds and rain was entirely within the grasp of his fingers and palm. Holding infinite Great Dao laws, he condensed them into a spear of laws. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through his opponent's Divine King body, tearing their flesh, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.
As an Old Antique existence within the Divine King Realm, the Tongtian Old Divine King's strength was displayed without reservation, far surpassing ordinary Divine Kings—simply invincible.
"Tongtian Great Dharma Seal!"
The Tongtian Old Divine King unleashed a Divine King secret technique. A single strike of the Tongtian Great Dharma Seal enveloped his opponent. That opponent was a Third Tribulation Divine King who had already weathered three Divine King calamities, a figure considered strong even within the Divine King Realm. Unfortunately, facing the even more terrifying Tongtian Old Divine King, he could not resist.
In the end, the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan's Third Tribulation Divine King was utterly defeated. The Tongtian Old Divine King's palm descended, obliterating the heavens. The Third Tribulation Divine King fell, half his body torn apart.
A jade bottle appeared in Qingqing's hand. Willow Branch Sweet Dew wafted out, drop by drop. Each drop falling into the void rapidly gave birth to a great world, one after another. Layer upon layer of great worlds overlapped, directly trapping her opponent within. Amidst these myriad great worlds, there was simply no way to break free.
All of this fully displayed Qingqing's formidable strength.
Boom—
Qingqing formed a seal. The layers of illusory great worlds exploded. Her opponent, a Second Tribulation Divine King, also fell heavily wounded.
The battle concluded!
Of the three attacking Divine Kings from the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan, the Dark Dragon Divine King had perished. The other Second Tribulation Divine King and Third Tribulation Divine King were both defeated and severely wounded, fallen from the heavens.
In for a penny, in for a pound!
Ye Chen naturally would not let the other two Dark Heaven Imperial Clan Divine Kings go. They were both much stronger than the Dark Dragon Divine King.
The three of them dove down, about to strike and kill the other two. But at this moment, the Third Tribulation Divine King roared and actually self-destructed, paying the price of being crushed to dust once to tear open this briefly constructed great Inner World, connecting with the outside.
"Not good!"
Even Ye Chen's expression changed slightly. Within the constructed Inner World, everything was sealed. Even when the Dark Dragon Divine King was slain, the other alien races were unaware. It was the best opportunity to kill the three Dark Heaven Imperial Clan Divine Kings.
But now, with the Third Tribulation Divine King willing to self-destruct to break open the Inner World, the other alien Divine Kings would inevitably know. Trouble would follow.
Sure enough, they soon sensed one supremely powerful alien Divine King aura after another streaking across the sky, descending into this constructed Inner World.
Those were the other fourteen alien Divine Kings, followed by numerous alien Imperial Sons and Daughters descending. Seeing this scene, their expressions immediately turned gloomy.
"Dark Dragon is dead. He was killed by the Battle Saint King."
The recently reconstituted Dark Heaven Imperial Clan Third Tribulation Divine King spoke with a pale, somewhat weak face, uttering this concise sentence. Instantly, it made the hearts of all the alien Divine Kings, Imperial Sons, and Daughters skip a beat.
Another Divine King had been slain by the Battle Saint King?
