Strong! Too strong!
"Even your master, the Imperial Maiden, is no match for me, let alone a mere weapon. Scram!"
Ye Chen was domineering and fierce. He threw a punch, carrying the most terrifying Chaos Ancient Qi, directly blasting away the azure divine wheel, even breaking many of its teeth.
This scene was shocking to behold. The war weapons of Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens, as well as the descendants of Immortal Dao, were all made of extraordinary materials. Even a Divine King would find it difficult to shatter them in a short time. Yet, who could have imagined that in just one exchange, the Battle Saint King had completely shattered it? It was truly unbelievable, sending shockwaves through everyone's hearts.
Was this the fearsome combat power of the Battle Saint King? No wonder he could force Imperial Maiden Gu Lan to this point. He simply possessed the strength of a Supreme One.
However, Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Fist did not stop. He threw two more punches in succession, each containing unparalleled Supreme might, reaching the level of Divine King combat power.
Boom—
The azure divine wheel could no longer withstand it. Despite its extraordinary material, under Ye Chen's absolute power, even such a war weapon was useless. It was directly shattered and torn apart, becoming countless fragments that scattered like a brilliant meteor shower.
Hum—
The Chaos Great Cauldron soared into the sky, its mouth opening to directly swallow all the war weapon fragments. After all, it was an Imperial Maiden's war weapon, made of extraordinary material and nearly reaching the level of a Divine King's war weapon. Naturally, it was quite remarkable. After being devoured and refined by the Chaos Great Cauldron, it would aid in the cauldron's transformation.
Though described slowly, it all happened extremely fast. Everything took merely two or three breaths of time. An Imperial Maiden's war weapon had been easily shattered.
Boom—
Ye Chen's figure did not retreat in the slightest. He shot towards Imperial Maiden Gu Lan like lightning. At this moment, the Emperor Treasure Light bloomed, only a hair's breadth away from completely enveloping Gu Lan.
"Hmph, don't think you can escape this death calamity!" Ye Chen snorted coldly. He reached out, his fingers and palm erupting with the most terrifying power. A strand of Cosmic Power spread out, stabilizing the universe and restricting time and space, forming a halo of light that wrapped around his fist. This also forcibly prevented the Emperor Treasure Light from closing completely.
This was the extraordinary nature of Cosmic Power. Even though Ye Chen could only use a small amount, it was enough.
His gaze fell upon Imperial Maiden Gu Lan within the Emperor Treasure Light. He gave a cold smile, filled with ruthless chill: "I told you, you cannot escape this calamity.
His hand formed a blade, glowing with dark jade light—it was the Heaven-Shaking Hand. He directly slashed towards Imperial Maiden Gu Lan. Wisps of Chaos Ancient Qi overflowed, carrying the terrifying power of Chaos Laws, sweeping out to grab Imperial Maiden Gu Lan within the Emperor Treasure Light: "Die!"
Boom—
But at this moment, a brilliant crimson light, bright as a rainbow, surged forth. From within, a dark red ghost-head great blade emerged, colliding with the Heaven-Shaking Hand.
Boom—
The two collided, spraying intense sparks. The void shattered violently. Ye Chen's figure retreated like lightning, his gaze dark as he looked at the figure within. Who else could it be but the Ancient Mulberry Divine King from before?
He never expected that he had managed to emerge, blocking this final, seemingly fatal strike, allowing Imperial Maiden Gu Lan to escape the calamity.
Ye Chen's expression was not good. He had been intercepted again.
At the same time, the Ancient Mulberry Divine King walked out from Imperial Maiden Gu Lan's inner world of origin. His figure was exceptionally burly, holding a dark red ghost-head great blade nearly three meters long. It appeared extremely ferocious and terrifying, shimmering with a mournful, brilliant blood light, as if countless ghosts were roaring and wailing in agony. It shook heaven and earth, making listeners' scalps tingle, almost fainting. It was like an emissary from hell had emerged, specifically appearing to collect others' divine souls, striking fear into hearts.
"Young Ancestor Imperial Maiden, my apologies, I am late!" The Ancient Mulberry Divine King first bowed respectfully to Imperial Maiden Gu Lan, also apologizing for his slow appearance. If not for this, Imperial Maiden Gu Lan would not have been forced into such a miserable state, nearly completely annihilated by Ye Chen.
Imperial Maiden Gu Lan's divine soul avatar had long dimmed to an extreme degree. Otherwise, it wouldn't have reached the point where being torn and shattered one more time would mean complete demise.
Imperial Maiden Gu Lan nodded slightly. Though very weak, as long as the Ancient Mulberry Divine King had appeared, it could almost be said the crisis was resolved.
She said, "I've troubled the Ancient Mulberry Divine King."
"Young Ancestor, you are too kind. Protecting the Young Ancestor Imperial Maiden is the duty of all members of our Ancient Nether Emperor Clan," said the Ancient Mulberry Divine King. Then he looked at Ye Chen, his eyes instantly surging with an extremely terrifying, sharp killing intent, like a bleak autumn wind sweeping through heaven and earth.
Holding the dark red ghost-head great blade, he pointed it from a distance towards Ye Chen: "So you are the Battle Saint King? Even while residing within the Young Ancestor's inner world of origin, I have heard some of your rumors during this time. To force the Young Ancestor to this point, you are indeed extraordinary enough. However, your actions are too excessive. How can you, a mere human, dare to hunt down the Young Ancestor Imperial Maiden of my Ancient Nether Emperor Clan? Today, you will pay the due price. Die!"
He swung the dark red ghost-head great blade, fiercely slashing towards Ye Chen.
Boom—
A tremendous roar echoed as heaven and earth split. A crimson blade radiance instantly cleaved the entire sky and earth in two. A powerful Divine King force violently rushed towards Ye Chen, aiming to split his entire body in half, reducing him to dust.
Ye Chen snorted. Though powerful, he was ultimately only a Great Power. No matter how strong, he could only contend with a First Tribulation Divine King. Against a stronger Divine King, he could not. However, this did not mean he needed to flee.
Swish—
Yu Qing by his side also made a move. Swinging the Willow Branch Sweet Dew, a wave of azure light swept forth, fiercely colliding with the crimson blade radiance, mutually neutralizing it.
"You—" The Ancient Mulberry Divine King never expected Yu Qing to also act. Moreover, she was a Divine King-level Imperial Maiden figure. Such a strongest young Supreme One Divine King, even an old-timer Divine King like him who had achieved the Dao for many years, felt a sense of gravity. She was not someone easily dealt with.
"Step aside. I do not wish to fight you, nor do I wish to kill you," the Ancient Mulberry Divine King spoke.
But Yu Qing snorted coldly: "You harm my husband, how can I not act? And saying you don't want to kill me? Do you have that capability?"
She lightly shifted her lotus steps, her figure exquisitely beautiful, graceful as an immortal. She actively stepped forward, then also made her move. With a flick of her sleeve, she unleashed waves of brilliant azure light, containing extremely intense Divine King Laws, overwhelming the sky and earth as they rumbled forth, then boomed as they attacked the Ancient Mulberry Divine King. Clearly, Yu Qing had also stirred a killing intent.
Daring to harm Ye Chen was an irreconcilable enmity with her!
At the same time, Ye Chen flicked his finger, sending out a strand of Cosmic Power. It shot over like lightning, propping open the final sliver of the Emperor Treasure Light, preventing it from closing completely. Swift as thunder, he descended, his large hand reaching in to grab Imperial Maiden Gu Lan's weak divine soul avatar. A cold, chilling voice suddenly exploded across heaven and earth: "You can perish now!"
