"After Hao Gongtian, do you also wish to be suppressed and refined by me?"
Ye Chen's voice, cold as the Heavenly Dao, echoed between heaven and earth.
Clad in the Mie Ri Immortal Armor and wielding the Sun-Extinguishing War Spear, with dazzling immortal light swirling around him, he resembled a peerless war god—impossible to look directly upon, impossible to rashly offend. His aura was shockingly intense, far surpassing his previous state.
This was the enhancement granted by the Mie Ri Immortal Armor. Vast power continuously poured into his body, his aura growing stronger and stronger. Even without relying on chaos secret arts, he could reach this level, stepping into the Ninth Heaven realm. All of this was thanks to the Mie Ri Immortal Armor.
He finally understood why Hao Gongtian had improved so much after obtaining the Mie Ri Immortal Armor.
The power that overflowed through his limbs and bones was simply unimaginably strong, and this was only a small portion of the Mie Ri Immortal Armor's original power.
After refining the Mie Ri Immortal Armor, Ye Chen also learned that this was the Divine King battle armor of the She Ri Immortal Venerable from ancient times. After attaining immortality, the venerable bestowed it upon his descendant, Hao Gongtian. Moreover, the Mie Ri Immortal Armor contained the original Divine King power from its Divine King realm days. If fully utilized, it could rival a true Divine King-level Imperial Son or Imperial Maiden.
Unfortunately, even with the She Ri Immortal Venerable's bloodline power, Hao Gongtian had only initially refined it and could not wield this supreme power at the level of a Divine King-level strongest young generation's supreme. Otherwise, he would not have been suppressed and severely injured by Yu Qing, nor would he have been worn down and killed by Ye Chen later.
However, not even the She Ri Immortal Venerable could have imagined that Ye Chen could refine it—and refine it completely—because he possessed a Chaos Small Universe, the most powerful origin celestial body within the Chaos Sea, transcending all heavens, earths, and worlds.
It was precisely because of this Chaos Small Universe that Ye Chen could smoothly, even completely, refine the Mie Ri Immortal Armor and make it his own.
Now, Ye Chen was only using a small portion, yet it enhanced him so much. If he used it fully, Ye Chen was confident he could even battle against Divine King-level Imperial Sons like Di Wentian or Mo Shitian.
However, Ye Chen could not recklessly use this powerful original power at the Divine King-level strongest young generation's supreme level. The original power stored within the Mie Ri Immortal Armor was not eternal. Just like the Emperor Dao origin of a Great Emperor reincarnation body, using a portion reduced it by a portion; the origin was limited.
Although the Sun-Extinguishing War Spear did not contain Divine King-level original power like the Mie Ri Immortal Armor, it could still be considered a Divine King-level strongest young generation's supreme weapon. It was originally the immortal arrow from the She Ri Immortal Venerable's Divine King era, only half remaining, transformed into a war spear. It still possessed astonishing might, far surpassing ordinary Divine King-level Dao weapons.
With the Mie Ri Immortal Armor donned and the Sun-Extinguishing War Spear in hand, both fully refined—one for attack, one for defense—Ye Chen possessed immense confidence. He directly ignored Imperial Maiden Gu Lan and instead looked toward the alien Imperial Son beside her, who was like a god or demon at the Half-Step Divine King level. His eyes erupted with astonishing light.
In his eyes, even Imperial Maiden Gu Lan at the Ninth Heaven was no longer a worthy opponent. The only one who could pose a threat to him now was this Half-Step Divine King-level alien Imperial Son before him.
He had not appeared before, but now that he had suddenly emerged, even the current Ye Chen felt a strong sense of threat.
Even with the Mie Ri Immortal Armor and Sun-Extinguishing War Spear, it was still so.
After all, there was a difference of two minor realms. Even as a Chaos young generation's supreme, his original self would find it difficult to bridge so many realms and battle a Half-Step Divine King-level Imperial Son who was also a strongest young generation's supreme.
Of course, now that he possessed the Mie Ri Immortal Armor and Sun-Extinguishing War Spear, he had the power to fight!
Seeing this scene, Imperial Maiden Gu Lan's expression turned as gloomy as water. Was she being ignored like this?
The Half-Step Divine King-level alien Imperial Son beside her, however, met Ye Chen's gaze. His eyes were special—they were double pupils, and not ordinary ones. Each eye had six pupils that slowly rotated. Looking into them easily caused one to fall into confusion, as if one's soul was about to be devoured, unable to extricate oneself.
Without a doubt, this was an extremely powerful Imperial Son-level figure, comparable to the likes of the Human Imperial Son, causing Ye Chen to feel immense wariness.
"Little friend, let me handle this!"
At this moment, Tongtian Old Divine King stepped forward. With a single step, an invisible ripple spread out, flashing toward the two strongest Imperial Son and Imperial Maiden. Instantly, it sent both flying, blood trickling from their mouths as they looked at Tongtian Old Divine King with horrified expressions. This was definitely an invincible Divine King who surpassed many Divine Kings.
Even if old and past his prime, he could not be ignored!
"Saint King of Battle, you have no shame, actually inviting such an Old Antique Divine King to act!" Imperial Maiden Gu Lan wiped a trace of blood from the corner of her red lips and shouted, "As members of the same young generation, have the guts to fight among peers."
"Idiot!" Corpse-Devouring Insect Emperor directly gave a look of disdain. "So it's fine for you alien morons to invite the older generation to act, but we can't? Without the older generation, you morons would have been completely crushed by us long ago. And here you are chirping and demanding a fair duel. Your brain really must have been squeezed by a door. Go back, your mom is calling you home for dinner."
When Corpse-Devouring Insect Emperor didn't speak, it was fine. Once he spoke, his words were guaranteed to infuriate people without compensation. He left Imperial Maiden Gu Lan with a mouthful of words stuck in her throat, unable to speak, almost feeling as if her ancestors for eighteen generations had been looked down upon.
"Senior Tongtian, please act and directly suppress all these morons," Corpse-Devouring Insect Emperor said.
Tongtian Old Divine King nodded, merely extending an aged finger and lightly pointing, causing a speck of faint light to appear.
However, the moment this seemingly insignificant speck of light appeared, both Imperial Maiden Gu Lan and the Half-Step Divine King-level alien Imperial Son felt a sense of threat from the depths of their hearts—and it was unavoidable.
Just as this speck of light was about to reach the two, an aged hand suddenly appeared, gently opening to intercept it. At the same time, an equally aged voice sounded, chuckling, "Fellow Daoist, as a member of the older generation, why act against the younger generation? How about we both step back and let them handle it?"
Silently, behind the two, an Old Antique on the verge of death appeared. His body was withered and thin, similar to Tongtian Old Divine King. Yet, it was precisely such a person who gave Ye Chen and the others an immense sense of threat, as if a peerless great menace lurked within that withered body, not to be underestimated.
"Wu Hun." Seeing the newcomer, the Half-Step Divine King-level Imperial Son nodded slightly. This Old Antique Divine King was clearly also a terrifying existence from the alien Emperor Clan behind them.
"And if I say no?" Tongtian Old Divine King smiled, his words carrying a hint of inexplicable meaning.
Hearing this, Old Antique Divine King Wu Hun's face seemed to flash with a trace of anger as he said solemnly, "Tongtian, I know of you. You should have been the previous Pavilion Master of Soaring Dragon Pavilion. However, actively participating in matters between my clan and the human race does not seem good for your Soaring Dragon Pavilion. If you continue to interfere, it will give the various Emperor Clans of our Ancient Universe a rather unfavorable impression of Soaring Dragon Pavilion. I believe this would not be good for you either."
A threat!
A blatant threat!
Tongtian Old Divine King's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Wu Hun. "Can I interpret these words as a threat against me?"
Wu Hun also gave a sinister smile. "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, you may think of it that way."
Hearing this, Tongtian Old Divine King fell silent for a moment. Just as Wu Hun thought he was about to agree and no longer help, Tongtian Old Divine King suddenly raised his seemingly aged head and looked at Wu Hun. "In that case, this old man can only nip all threats in the bud."
Boom—
The moment his words fell, Tongtian Old Divine King erupted with a terrifying, extreme might that instantly surged toward the opposing Old Antique Divine King Wu Hun, and he attacked at this moment.
"Hmph, both being Old Antique Divine Kings, let's see who is stronger, you or I."
Wu Hun snorted coldly, not showing the slightest weakness. He met the attack with both hands. Though the attacks seemed light and effortless, each move and style contained terrifying, peerless might unimaginable to ordinary people. An ordinary Divine King facing them would absolutely meet certain death—truly terrifying to the extreme, beyond imagination.
Thus, the two Old Antique Divine Kings began to fight. Moreover, this fight appeared quite plain and natural, as if two mortals were sparring. Yet, anyone could see that during this seemingly ordinary exchange, both sides' moves faintly revealed extremely dreadful power—an embodiment of controlling Divine King laws to the extreme.
The fact that the void was not torn or shattered was also an embodiment of controlling power to the extreme degree, unimaginably powerful.
The two sides fought, heaven and earth reversed. In just a short moment, they had only exchanged a dozen or so moves.
Yet, it was precisely these dozen or so collisions. Each move and style unleashed could absolutely cause an ordinary Divine King to be smashed to pieces, with no chance of survival.
Yes, this was the embodiment of the true terrifying combat power of an Old Antique Divine King—unbelievably powerful. Ordinary moves contained terrifying power capable of annihilating ordinary Divine Kings.
At the same time, the Half-Step Divine King-level Imperial Son coldly looked at Ye Chen. This was the perfect opportunity to strike and kill the Saint King of Battle. If this Chaos young generation's supreme were killed, the human race would almost collapse and disintegrate.
"Saint King of Battle, you are indeed strong. You suppressed Mohe Imperial Maiden, Poluo Imperial Son, An Yu, and Foutu Imperial Son. You killed An Tian Imperial Son and Hao Gongtian. Your strength exceeds many people's expectations. Being able to rank on the Heavenly Ranking proves you possess Divine King-level combat power." The Half-Step Divine King-level alien Imperial Son spoke. In his human form, he was very handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and eyes with six pupils.
"You may call me Six Paths Imperial Son." The Half-Step Divine King-level alien Imperial Son introduced himself. "Although using my realm to deal with your lower realm is somewhat unfair oppression, I apologize. The Chaos Ancient Universes we each belong to are hostile. My Ancient Universe cannot allow you to grow unchecked. Therefore, today you can only die!"
