"At least you have some courage!"
Qin Wushuang grinned, revealing his teeth. Although they both belonged to the Battle Saint Lineage, he showed not a hint of forbearance towards Ye Chen. On the contrary, he was brimming with fiery fighting spirit. The boiling golden blood energy on his body surged up into the imperial hall, creating a temporary realm in the void. Battle Saint Laws intertwined, forming an extremely stable space; even a First Tribulation Divine King would find it extraordinarily difficult to shatter this realm.
Qin Wushuang entered it first.
Ye Chen shook his head and let out a soft sigh, then stepped inside as well. However, streams of chaotic light also appeared on his body, transforming into Chaos Laws that merged into this golden realm, reinforcing it.
Qin Wushuang narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "What do you mean by this? Do you look down on the battle realm I created?"
"I fear the battle might be too intense, and this fabricated realm might not withstand it for long. I'm just stabilizing it slightly; there's no other intention," Ye Chen explained calmly. He then turned to face Qin Wushuang and said, "Since we both belong to the Battle Saint Lineage, I hope we can show some restraint when we fight later."
"Fine!"
Qin Wushuang did not object, but an extremely terrifying pressure erupted from his body, surging forth majestically. In the next moment, it swept towards Ye Chen in the distant sky. Ye Chen's black hair suddenly billowed wildly, as if countless black dragons were roaring, mingled with golden light and saintly majesty that permeated the entire battle realm.
Moreover, Qin Wushuang himself moved. In a blur, he transformed into a golden lightning bolt, piercing through the void and instantly charging at Ye Chen.
Without using any Dao Weapons or Artifacts, his left hand formed a palm strike while his right hand clenched into a fist seal. One palm, one fist—these were not any divine abilities or spells but the purest physical attacks.
As a Battle Saint, Qin Wushuang had absolute confidence in his Battle Sacred Body. He wanted to see whether his Battle Sacred Body was stronger or if the other's Battle Sacred Body was superior.
Ye Chen's expression showed no fear, remaining calm. He similarly struck out with a palm and a fist, colliding with the other's attacks. Metallic clanging sounds rang out.
Although it was merely a physical collision, under that impact, the battle realm trembled violently. Numerous dark, massive cracks split open in the void, appearing even more terrifying than actual Dao Weapons and Artifacts.
Both sides collided, neither gaining the slightest upper hand. Both stood firm like divine mountains, immovable and indestructible, not retreating half a step.
Qin Wushuang showed no surprise. If the other party, also possessing a Battle Sacred Body, could be defeated with a simple strike, he would not be worthy of being a Battle Saint.
"Indeed impressive. Let me see how much more you're capable of!"
Qin Wushuang let out a long roar. His entire being seemed to transform into a human-shaped true dragon soaring through the sky. Stretching his limbs and bones, a series of thunderous roars erupted from his body as if countless giant dragons were roaring within him. The terrifying power of the Battle Sacred Body was displayed without reservation.
With a whoosh, he closed in before Ye Chen. Whether it was his fists, fingers, arms, shoulders, chest, knees, head—almost every inch of his body became a weapon of war, and one even more sharp and fearsome than Dao Weapons and Artifacts. He enveloped Ye Chen completely, using terrifying close-quarters combat techniques to press close and attack relentlessly, leaving no room for evasion.
Saint Body close-quarters combat techniques!
Under such fearsome close-quarters combat, not only Ye Chen, who bore the brunt, but even the spectators outside, including various Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao descendants, and the strongest young supremes, felt a secret tremor in their hearts.
No wonder Battle Saints were hailed as invincible among their generation. Even in a complete ancient universe, their achievements placed them among the strongest young supremes. Possessing such terrifying close-quarters combat techniques, once they closed in for an attack, even supreme descendants like them would have to be extremely wary.
However, what Qin Wushuang understood, how could Ye Chen not? Moreover, Ye Chen had achieved his current strength step by step through his own efforts. From his weak beginnings to the present, he had experienced countless battles, large and small. He had confronted ancient Great Emperors and even dueled with the young era of the Angel God Emperor. His combat experience was immensely rich; in battles of the same realm and generation, he feared no one.
At his level, not only did he possess a physique surpassing the Battle Sacred Body—the Chaos Saint Body—but his understanding of close-quarters combat techniques had also developed its own unique insights. He integrated his past combat experiences into his close-quarters techniques, not merely rigidly copying them, making them even more terrifying.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two Battle Saints collided in close combat. Both were at the pinnacle Great Power level, and even without using divine power, they could still unleash equally astonishing, terrifying might capable of tearing apart the heavens, causing the battle realm to tremble.
If not for Ye Chen's reinforcement, the battle realm created by Qin Wushuang alone, even if it could withstand peak Great Power combat, would absolutely not endure the battle between these two. Merely the physical might of both was enough to rival the Divine King level.
Within a few breaths, they had exchanged hundreds, even thousands of rounds, with collisions too numerous to count.
Boom!
Finally, both Ye Chen and Qin Wushuang swung their sacred fists in collision. With a thunderous roar, the battle realm was violently torn apart. The laws left by both sides also crumbled, unable to withstand the force. The battle realm began to collapse.
But before other Divine Kings could intervene to contain the collision's power, Sovereign Wushi stamped his foot. A vast Sovereign power merged into the battle realm, instantly stabilizing the collapsing space and even repairing it, transforming it into an even more stable and indestructible battle realm.
Simultaneously, Qin Wushuang's figure shook violently. He was forced back over twenty steps, sprinkling a shower of golden blood in the void—Battle Saint Blood, gleaming brilliantly.
On the other side, Ye Chen's figure also retreated two or three steps before stabilizing. His fists were somewhat mangled, flesh torn, with blood radiating faint strands of chaotic light, extremely extraordinary.
He raised his gaze to look at Qin Wushuang, revealing a hint of appreciation. Truly worthy of being a Battle Sacred Body. Only such a supremely powerful physical Saint Body could barely contend with his Chaos Saint Body in a direct confrontation.
Of course, that was all. As a Chaos Saint Body that transcended the ordinary, its physical indestructibility had caused Qin Wushuang to suffer no small disadvantage in the previous collisions.
His pair of indestructible sacred fists, capable of shattering Great Power battle weapons, were now skin-torn and flesh mangled, dripping with a string of Battle Saint Blood. At this moment, Qin Wushuang's body autonomously activated the Saint Body Regeneration Technique. The wounds on his fists rapidly healed until they were completely restored, without a single flaw.
