That was the invincible progenitor of the Battle Saint Lineage, the one who created the invincible Battle Saint Technique. Back then, he had even seen the imprint left by the Saint Ancestor beneath the Undying Divine Island beyond the fifth trial continent of the Ultimate Ancient Path, and they had conversed. Moreover, to help his great disciple, the Formless Sovereign, revive, he had offered a wisp of Emperor's Origin.
Ancient Nether Emperor could see that the fall of the Battle Saint Ancestor had dealt a heavy blow to the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. After all, he was a successor of the Battle Saint Lineage, and it was precisely because of the inheritance of the Battle Saint Lineage that he had progressed step by step to his current state.
There was no doubt that without the inheritance of the Battle Saint Lineage, there would be no Ye Chen of today.
And as for that Battle Saint Ancestor who had guarded the entire Sealed Universe, anyone would show the utmost respect.
At this moment, Ye Chen's heart was nearly shattered. That kind of collapse was no less than the collapse of his innermost beliefs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ancient Nether Emperor also took action continuously, unleashing one fearsome divine ability after another, forcing the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body to retreat repeatedly, with numerous sprays of blood flying from his body.
After suffering the blow of the Battle Saint Ancestor's fall, Ye Chen's fighting spirit also crumbled layer by layer. From an initial stalemate, he had now fallen into an absolute disadvantage. One could imagine how severe the blow of the Battle Saint Ancestor's fall was for him.
"Heh, it seems you cannot believe that the Battle Saint Ancestor has already fallen," Ancient Nether Emperor sneered, waving his Emperor's Scepter. Instantly, layers upon layers of heavens and earth appeared.
They were all real worlds, numbering in the hundreds and thousands, fully displaying the might of an ancient Great Emperor, making it difficult for even the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body to withstand. He was directly sent flying hundreds of thousands of li away, with blood continuously spilling.
Wherever he passed, the massive fragments of continents and stars suspended in the firmament shattered one after another, resulting in earth-shattering, terrifying collisions. Remnant traces of laws tore through heaven and earth, terrifying beyond imagination. The area spanning millions of li was plunged into a catastrophic level of destruction.
In such destruction, even a peak Divine King who had undergone the Nine-Layered Divine King Tribulation would be utterly annihilated, body and soul destroyed, with no chance of survival.
Even an ordinary Ancient Monarch would likely suffer heavy injuries.
"Impossible! The Battle Saint Ancestor would not fall!"
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body roared. On his childish face, which resembled that of a seven-year-old boy, a trace of ferocity appeared. With a single step, he traversed hundreds of thousands of li in an instant, fast beyond imagination. Clenching his fist, he fiercely punched towards Ancient Nether Emperor, colliding with the Emperor's Scepter and exploding with boundless destructive light. Moreover, he swiftly advanced with large strides, launching a fierce assault on Ancient Nether Emperor.
"Heh, perhaps you cannot believe it, but the Battle Saint Ancestor has indeed fallen. This Emperor was a participant and knows better than you," Ancient Nether Emperor continued his verbal assault, constantly battering Ye Chen's psyche.
He knew full well how immense the blow of the Battle Saint Ancestor's fall would be to Ye Chen. Sustaining such attacks, even this Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, formed from a partial Emperor-level physique and Emperor Dao Origin, would eventually be completely shattered by his projection.
Ye Chen's eyes flickered a few times, as if hesitating, but he quickly became resolute and unshakable. He coldly stepped forward, the attacks from his fist becoming many times fiercer, and snorted, "Is this your method? A dignified ancient Great Emperor only knows how to use such despicable means. It shows your inadequacy."
"The Battle Saint Ancestor's combat power is peerless throughout the ages. Who could slay him? Not even the cooperation of your Alien Race's many ancient Great Emperors and the supreme immortals of the Immortal Realm could do it. He is the strongest Emperor, the foremost in attack throughout history, invincible across the ages."
Regarding the Battle Saint Ancestor, Ye Chen possessed absolute confidence. Because the imprint he had left back then mentioned that his true self should still exist in the world, though his whereabouts were unknown. Ye Chen deeply believed this, a belief in the Battle Saint Ancestor.
How could a dignified, invincible, strongest Emperor throughout history be so easily killed and fallen?
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body attacked, not hesitating to burn some Emperor Dao Origin. His power increased considerably, causing this vast, boundless Mythical Ruins Land to tremble and shake continuously. Then, boundless radiance descended, blotting out the sky and covering the earth, carrying vast, chaotic ancient qi that submerged the projection body of Ancient Nether Emperor.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ancient Nether Emperor's projection body began to sway continuously, becoming much more ethereal. Several huge holes appeared in it, pierced through. Clearly, it had also been injured by the attacks of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and now seemed somewhat unable to protect itself.
Ancient Nether Emperor let out a cold snort, as if he had not anticipated this situation either. He then brandished his Emperor's Scepter, fiercely boiling up endless law power to collide with it.
Boom!
Accompanied by a terrifying loud noise, the heaven and earth spanning millions of li fell into annihilation. Ancient Nether Emperor's projection body dimmed a few more shades. His expression changed slightly as he muttered to himself, "Cannot continue like this. The projection body cannot last long. Must find those things."
Ancient Nether Emperor moved, darting like lightning towards the deepest part of the Mythical Ruins Land. The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body pursued relentlessly from behind. The two fought while charging into the deepest regions.
After traversing a vast region exceeding hundreds of millions of li, Ancient Nether Emperor's projection body swung his Emperor's Scepter to clash fiercely with the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body once, both flying back like lightning.
However, in the continuous fierce clashes, the Emperor's Scepter also showed some cracks, causing Ancient Nether Emperor's expression to turn somewhat ugly.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body looked leisurely at Ancient Nether Emperor. His seemingly young body emanated an aura that would make even an Ancient Monarch tremble. He said faintly, "What's wrong? Not running anymore?"
Ancient Nether Emperor snorted coldly, "Run? An incomplete body formed from a partial Emperor physique and Emperor Origin dares to think this Emperor would flee from it? Truly laughable. This Emperor's true goal is merely this place."
Boom!
Ancient Nether Emperor fiercely struck the Mythical Ruins Land with his Emperor's Scepter. Instantly, heaven shook and earth trembled. A chasm of unimaginable thickness appeared in the earth, extending for who knows how many millions of li and as wide as a hundred thousand li, revealing the depths below. What was revealed caused Ye Chen's soul within the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body to palpitate with fear.
For he clearly saw within the chasm endless broken worlds, all utterly dim and devoid of life.
Even with Ye Chen's experiences over the years, he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva at this sight, for it was too shocking. Countless great worlds were buried within, worthy of being called a world's graveyard.
Buried along with these great worlds were undoubtedly the countless living beings who inhabited them, including experts of myriad races, and even existences at the level of Ancient Monarchs, who had still fallen within.
All of this was far too horrifying to behold.
