Everyone was dumbstruck, their eyes wide with disbelief. Even the normally composed Imperial Sons and Daughters, scions of the Immortal Dao, and the strongest young supremes were all shaken to their core.
Because this power was simply too astonishing, far exceeding anyone's expectations.
It defied all logic. Although Wushi Monarch had been powerful before, it was still within reason—he was a peerless monarch who could almost contend with two Immortal Annihilation Vast Heavens formations. But now, he felt utterly unopposable. His strength had increased far too much, completely defying established understanding.
"The Monarch Ancestor is invincible!"
The twenty-four Divine Kings of the Imperial Clan Qin Family were naturally overjoyed, for this was their clan's invincible monarch. His being so powerful was a great boon for the entire Imperial Clan Qin Family.
Ye Chen's true body and his Great Emperor Reincarnation Body stared intently at Wushi Monarch's figure, trying to discern what had happened. Everything seemed too bizarre, too unexpected.
However, no matter how they probed, they couldn't truly sense it. Ye Chen's brow furrowed with worry. He feared that Wushi Monarch might have used some forbidden means to deal with Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor, causing himself immense harm.
Boom—
Wushi Monarch was peerlessly powerful, as if he had transcended the monarch realm and achieved the status of a peerless Great Emperor. With a whoosh, he arrived before Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor. He pointed a finger, and a colossal finger over a million miles long slowly extended, carrying unparalleled, dazzling golden light before heavily striking Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's body.
Pfft—
This finger strike was like a point from an ancient Great Emperor, severing the endless river of time and shattering the myriad heavens. It sent Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's eternally indestructible demonic body flying backward, vast amounts of golden blood splattering along the way, falling into the boundless Chaotic Territory.
"Such formidable power. Have you reached the Emperor Lord realm?"
Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor finally tore through the restraints of golden light encircling him. All four pairs of his differently colored eyes looked toward the distant Wushi Monarch. That invincible power even made him, with his fourth pair of golden eyes opened, feel immense trepidation.
If he didn't open his fifth pair of eyes, Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor felt a faint sense of helplessness—something he had never experienced before. He never imagined that today, on a junior, he would feel this faint helplessness that hadn't appeared for several epochal eras.
The corner of his mouth lifted in a faint, self-mocking smile, but his four pairs of eyes remained icy and ruthless. With a loud laugh, a *pfft* sound rang out as the six spider legs on the front of his spider body detached, transforming into barbed spears grasped in his six ape-like arms.
Finally, he stood upright. In an instant, Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor exuded an extremely terrifying, ferocious aura, coldly looking down from a superior position at the distant Wushi Monarch. "So what if you are an Emperor Lord? I hope you don't disappoint me."
"Is that so?"
Wushi Monarch's voice carried a hoarseness, as if it wasn't him speaking but an ancient existence that had lived for several epochal eras. His eyes had also grown much deeper. Holding his spiked club, he stepped forward one pace at a time, fearless.
Boom—
Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's figure suddenly shrank, yet his aura didn't weaken; instead, it became more condensed and terrifying. Grasping the six spears, he fiercely charged at Wushi Monarch.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
In an instant, the two peerless existences clashed head-on.
Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's six thick arms wielded the six spears, dancing them with a fluid, seamless spear technique that instantly enveloped all directions, leaving no space untouched. Every inch of space was under attack.
Moreover, every move and stance was filled with terrifying, peerless offensive power, capable of easily wounding an Ancient Monarch. His four pairs of eyes also shot out beams of light carrying soul-obliterating terror, power that could almost be called the strongest beneath an Emperor.
Even the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and the two Immortal Annihilation Vast Heavens formations couldn't offer much help at this moment.
Wushi Monarch's gaze was profound. He simply swung his spiked club, yet precisely because of this simplicity, his defense was flawless and impenetrable. Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's attacks were completely ineffective, being deflected away.
In this duel, countless collisions occurred in the blink of an eye. Yet, Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor never gained the upper hand. Wushi Monarch defended so tightly that no attack could effectively harm him.
"Do you only know how to defend? And you dare call yourself a descendant of the Battle Saint lineage? The Battle Saint Ancestor of that lineage in the past was the most aggressive, invincible Great Emperor!" Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor spoke, attempting to disturb Wushi Monarch's mind with words.
"Don't attack! He's using a provocation tactic!" Ye Chen's Great Emperor Reincarnation Body urgently spoke up. The other Divine Kings of the Imperial Clan Qin Family also voiced their concerns.
"It's fine. Since he wants to witness the offensive power of my Battle Saint lineage, let him see it properly, so he won't die with regrets."
Wushi Monarch said calmly, as if unable to endure others' doubts, and took the initiative to attack.
Just as everyone worried that Wushi Monarch had fallen for the trick, they suddenly saw Wushi Monarch's spiked club sweep across the sky, as if annihilating everything, blocking all the fierce attacks. Moreover, his large hand transformed into a Heaven-Shaking Palm, indestructible and eternal. When the spears collided with it, they only produced clanging sounds, utterly incapable of causing real harm.
"Your physical body has grown so much stronger!" Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor exclaimed in shock.
Wushi Monarch remained silent, but his Heaven-Shaking Palm struck out again, stirring up a terrifying chaos storm that swept out majestically. Then, with a deafening boom, it charged toward Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The two beings, both considered invincible among monarchs, clashed. Their battle was far more terrifying than before. The power contained in their every move could injure ordinary Ancient Monarchs.
It wasn't that Ancient Monarchs were weak, but both Wushi Monarch and Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor had reached a super-tier within the monarch domain. Their battle was naturally terrifying in the truest sense. The vast heavens seemed unable to bear it, trembling incessantly as massive spatial rifts appeared, plunging into continuous collapse—an unimaginable, great terror.
Boom—
With a loud crash, Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's massive demonic body was suddenly sent flying backward. Sheets of golden blood splattered along the path, a shocking sight. He was actually at a disadvantage.
This scene utterly stunned everyone.
"Impossible! You cannot defeat this Emperor!" Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor couldn't believe it, but it was the truth.
Wushi Monarch charged again, wielding his spiked club. A single swing could shatter a great world. Within it, a majestic, world-shaking power filled the club before it came crashing down heavily.
This time, even Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor couldn't withstand it. His figure was sent flying, golden blood continuously spurting out as if he had suffered a massive blow. His ape-like face showed shock, for all of this was simply too unbelievable.
"Did you truly think you were invincible? Pathetic!"
Wushi Monarch displayed his truly peerless, supreme might. His towering, fifteen-foot-tall body contained unparalleled, matchless power that could tear through the sky and shatter everything.
He stepped forward, completely suppressing Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor in his assault. Under repeated attacks, Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor was severely wounded, continuously staining the heavens with his blood.
The current Wushi Monarch was too powerful, beyond imagination and comprehension. He seemed to have transcended the Ancient Monarch domain, making an ultimate leap to become that invincible, peerless Great Emperor. Even the mighty Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor, with eight eyes, could only be beaten down.
Golden blood flew everywhere. Three of the spears were shattered by the blows. The massive abdomen of his spider body was smashed open by a club strike, creating a huge, bloody hole from which blood gushed forth—a truly miserable sight.
Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor seemed unable to comprehend this turn of events. How could Wushi Monarch have grown so powerful in such a short time? This simply defied all understanding; it shouldn't exist. Yet, it was right before his eyes, leaving him unable to make sense of it all.
Wushi Monarch continued his assault. Boundless divine might erupted violently, churning up layer upon layer of chaos, his power unimaginably immense.
In the end, Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor was completely suppressed. With his fourth pair of golden eyes opened, he was no match for Wushi Monarch. His figure was sent flying repeatedly, plunging into the Chaotic Territory where chaos roiled and golden light flashed—the blood radiance of Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor.
Wushi Monarch's aura towered to the heavens, supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths. Riding his heavenly beast, he charged into the Chaotic Territory, bravely pursuing, determined to fight to the death.
That great battle vanished from everyone's sight. They could only see the boundless Chaotic Territory continuously boiling and churning, shaking for who knew how many millions of miles as an intense divine war erupted.
Everyone rushed over, worried that something might happen to Wushi Monarch.
However, they couldn't catch up to the two combatants. Their battle speed was too fast, quickly distancing them from the myriad heavens' powerhouses.
Boom! Rumble!—
Finally, half a day later, they caught up. From afar, they saw Wushi Monarch, possessing peerless, domineering aura, riding a fearsome heavenly beast and continuously swinging his spiked club. Numerous terrifying divine abilities were unleashed, covering the sky and earth as he suppressed and pursued Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor.
The latter's entire body was a bloody mess, golden blood continuously spurting out, dyeing the mottled Chaotic Territory into a dazzling golden region.
That was Emperor's blood, far more terrifying than the previous green, purple, and silver blood. It gave rise to various terrifying phenomena—ghosts and deities dancing together, heavenly demons roaring. But in that great battle, they were of no use, directly annihilated into nothingness by the residual battle waves.
Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor struggled desperately. His ape-like arms and spider-leg spears danced wildly, accompanied by genuine Emperor's Dao Laws.
Although not yet perfectly complete and powerful, these Emperor's Dao Laws were still world-shaking. Around him, genuine great world realms manifested, and millions of divine demons appeared, roaring as they passed by, accompanied by thick, boundless crimson thunderbolts that rumbled and crashed toward Wushi Monarch.
But the current Wushi Monarch was simply too strong, like a peerless Great Emperor. His blood energy boiled around him, flooding the boundless region. It also transitioned from a half-golden, half-crimson state into a complete sunset crimson hue.
This was precisely the sign of a Battle Saint Body reaching great completion.
