"The Saint Body of Ancestor Wushi has reached Great Completion!"
In the distant sky, whether it was Ye Chen, Qin Wushuang, or the various Heavenly Kings of the Qin Imperial Clan, each and every one revealed expressions of shock, yet also pleasant surprise.
The Great Completion of the Battle Sacred Body represented the true invincibility of a Battle Saint. Legend had it that upon reaching this realm, even a Monarch would be no match. The next step forward would allow one to set foot into that supreme and peerless Emperor domain, achieving the status of a Great Emperor revered throughout the ages.
However, achieving Great Completion of the Saint Body was incredibly difficult. Throughout history, only the Battle Saint Ancestor and his disciple, the Sovereign of Formlessness, had ever cultivated it to Great Completion. All others had invariably stopped short, unable to achieve it.
Now, a third peerless existence with a Great Completion Saint Body had appeared within the Battle Saint lineage: Wushi Monarch, disciple of the Sovereign of Formlessness.
His Battle Sacred Body had reached Great Completion, his physical body peerless and eternally indestructible. A torrential blood energy boiled forth, like boundless solar flames, annihilating the millions of divine demons roaring at the heavens, reducing them to ashes in an instant.
The spiked club seemed to transform into a supreme Emperor weapon, entwined with a mournfully brilliant blood light and imbued with supreme Emperor Dao law power. As it smashed down, the worlds and heavens that had manifested were instantly plunged into layers of destruction, turning into masses of chaos.
Wushi Monarch, after achieving Great Completion of his Saint Body, could no longer be called a Monarch; perhaps he should be addressed as a Monarch existence. It was no exaggeration to say he stood proudly above all heavens, completely suppressing the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor, who was in a miserable state. Vast amounts of golden Emperor blood continuously splattered, and several bloody holes appeared on his body.
In contrast, Wushi Monarch's Saint Body, having reached Great Completion, was indestructible, as if forged from chaos immortal gold. The six spider-leg-like spears wielded by the ape arms landed on him with frantic swings, only producing clanging sounds and leaving white marks, unable to inflict any truly effective damage.
All the powerhouses of the All Heavens sucked in cold breaths. The Great Completion Saint Body, eternally indestructible—perhaps it was comparable to the indestructible body of an Emperor physique.
Back then, the reason the Sovereign of Formlessness could be invincible beneath the Emperor realm, even capable of confronting ancient Great Emperors, was likely due to this very reason.
Now, would Wushi Monarch become the second Sovereign of Formlessness?
"Don't waste your strength. As you are now, you simply cannot harm me." Wushi Monarch pressed the attack relentlessly, his expression cold and merciless, continuously swinging the spiked club. Each strike was almost enough to make the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor cough up blood. In the long run, the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor ultimately could not truly withstand it.
The Heavenly Beast beneath him opened its dragon mouth like an abyss, continuously devouring large amounts of the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's flesh and blood. Astonishingly, it too began to undergo a startling transformation, its aura growing increasingly terrifying.
Both man and beast were evolving towards astonishing levels.
Boom—
Another blow landed, shattering one of the ape arms the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor used to block. Golden blood sprayed as the spiked club smashed heavily onto his head, splitting open that ugly ape face, flesh torn and nearly shattered. Several eyes were almost affected, a truly miserable sight.
This outcome was something the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor had probably never imagined. After all, he was an existence who had once stood proudly at the peak of the Chaos Sea, an ancient Great Emperor-level being. Yet now he had fallen to such a state, nearly perishing at the hands of a junior. This was a tremendous humiliation.
Yet he simply could not stop this junior. The other party was too strong, capable of completely overpowering him even with his four eyes opened.
"Junior, you force this Sovereign's hand! Even if this Sovereign falls today, I will drag you all down with me!"
The Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor roared and howled, truly desperate. An unimaginable aura of the Great Dao emerged from his body.
The moment this aura appeared, it wasn't just within this boundless chaos domain; even the vast and magnificent Primordial Path trembled violently. With a deafening roar, clouds and smoke churned and shook.
It also drew the attention of the powerhouses guarding the Ninth Heavenly Pass. They all looked up towards the heavens, each revealing traces of alarm.
"Yue, Sister Qingqing—"
On the Ninth Heavenly Pass, there was also a peerlessly graceful figure. Sensing that boundless, far-reaching peerless aura, a trace of worry surfaced in her beautiful eyes. She clasped her hands before her chest, praying for those who had left to fight to return safely and unharmed.
"This is bad! The Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor is about to fully return to the ancient Great Emperor realm!"
The powerhouses of the All Heavens all changed expressions. That aura was precisely the peerless aura of an Emperor Supreme, vast and boundless, capable of annihilating everything, unimaginably terrifying.
Visibly, the injuries on the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's body rapidly healed, and his aura climbed steadily. The fifth eye on his forehead throbbed violently, slowly opening a slit. That terrifying, peerless aura slowly emanated from within.
Even Ye Chen's Great Emperor reincarnation body wore an ugly expression. He quickly mobilized the Emperor Dao Origin within his body, preparing to face the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor who was about to fully return to the Great Perfection Emperor Dao Realm.
Only he, possessing one-seventh of an Emperor Dao physique and one-seventh of Emperor Dao Origin, combining form and spirit to attack together, would have the true power to fight, just like when he confronted the alien Great Emperor on the River of Time.
"Want to return to the Emperor Dao Realm? Unfortunately, you've miscalculated. You've also misjudged the timing. With me here, you will not succeed." Wushi Monarch said coldly, striding forward. His boundless blood energy surged over, but it was completely isolated by the surging Supreme aura around the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor, unable to cause the slightest disturbance.
The latter was now completely uninjured, his momentum unmatched. As the fifth eye gradually opened wider, he too gradually returned to the peak Emperor Dao Realm of his past, standing high above, looking down upon Wushi Monarch.
The fifth eye had opened a bit more, its aura even more potent, carrying an ancient, sunken ruthlessness. He said, "Although you have reached the Monarch realm, a Monarch is ultimately just a Monarch. A single line of difference is a world apart. You can no longer stop this Sovereign's rise. Although forcibly opening it this time will consume a significant amount of Emperor Dao Origin, so be it. As long as I kill and devour all of you, it will be enough for this Sovereign's recovery."
The Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor had half-stepped back into the Emperor Sovereign realm. As the fifth eye opened wider, he grew increasingly powerful, preparing to strike against Wushi Monarch.
"I said, wanting to return to the Emperor Dao Realm before me is impossible!"
Wushi Monarch suddenly let out a great shout—
"Battle Saint Slays the Heavens!"
Boom—
An unparalleled pressure suddenly erupted from his body, instantly increasing by an unknown magnitude, far surpassing before.
In a daze, it seemed as if a majestic existence that suppressed the entire Chaos Sea was stepping upon the River of Time, returning against the heavens step by step from the past.
The Battle Saint Ancestor!
