Originally, as a Ninth Heaven late-stage cultivator, Ye Chen's imposing aura was already formidable enough, not the slightest bit inferior to a Two Tribulation Divine King. However, at this moment, accompanied by the activation of his Chaos secret technique, his aura surged once more. In an incredibly short time, he broke through the shackles of the Ninth Heaven and stepped into the Tenth Heaven.
With a thunderous boom, the fragment of the continent he stood upon could not withstand this vast, majestic power and directly shattered, turning into a sky full of fine dust.
Everyone felt that at this moment, it was as if an ancient Great Emperor was slowly awakening within Ye Chen's body. That peerless aura, capable of shaking the ancient and dazzling the present, was gradually unfurling, causing many powerful experts to tremble with fear.
Rumble—
Visible to the naked eye, strands of ancient Chaos Qi continuously surged forth, gradually submerging Ye Chen's figure, transforming into a mist that also, intangibly, isolated a considerable portion of his aura.
Yet, this faint, elusive presence still caused everyone's hearts to race incessantly. In a daze, it seemed as if a peerless War God was being born into the world, a divine might beyond imagination.
Tenth Heaven initial stage, mid-stage...
Ye Chen's aura broke through to the Tenth Heaven late stage and continued to climb. With each small step forward, his presence grew many times stronger.
Finally, his cultivation realm reached the Tenth Heaven late stage, gazing upon the Half-Step Divine King realm from afar.
However, as a Chaos young generation's supreme, he was far, far stronger than an ordinary Half-Step Divine King.
That divine might was such that he could likely easily slay an ordinary Half-Step Divine King with a mere wave of his hand.
This was the terrifying aspect of a Chaos young generation's supreme, absolutely invincible within the same realm.
Regarding this scene, Cang Qingyang did not stop it. He, too, very much wanted to know whether the Battle Saint King, having reached the Tenth Heaven through a boosting secret technique, could contend with him.
Boom—
The Tenth Heaven late stage was the most powerful state Ye Chen's true self had ever achieved. An immeasurable aura capable of making heaven and earth tremble emanated from his entire body. He was like an abyss, like a towering mountain. His blood energy spread out, enveloping a vast area, as if an invincible War God slumbering since ancient times had awakened. With a mere lift of his gaze, he could annihilate this heaven and earth, causing it to cease to exist.
Before him, the continental fragments within a radius of a hundred thousand li all stopped moving, as if time had frozen, unable to budge.
"Now, let me see how much capital for arrogance you still have left," Ye Chen said indifferently, sweeping his gaze towards Cang Qingyang.
At the Tenth Heaven late stage, he was far, far stronger than at the Ninth Heaven late stage.
Within the Great Ability realm, each level was a world of its own. Every small advancement in cultivation brought a massive increase in combat power.
Now, he possessed vastly greater power. Even though the one before him was a Divine King-level Heaven's Pride, he remained fearless, confident in his ability to triumph.
"Heh, although you've stepped into the Tenth Heaven, it's only the late stage. You're not even a Half-Step Divine King yet, and you still want to continue battling this Divine King? Since that's the case, this Divine King will grant your wish and let you understand what true power is."
Cang Qingyang sneered coldly, pointing out a single finger. It coiled with faint strands of Divine King Great Dao Origin power, crushing through the long sky as it heavily pointed towards Ye Chen.
"Cangtian Finger!"
Accompanied by Cang Qingyang's light shout, that finger rapidly swelled. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a finger like a pillar holding up the heavens, spanning the myriad realms. Its entire body emanated a vast Heavenly Dao majesty, as if a single point from the Lord of Heaven himself, the oppressive might of the Cangtian Great Dao.
The descent of this Cangtian Finger seemed slow but was actually extremely fast. Wherever it passed, several continental fragments within a radius of tens of thousands of li directly exploded, turning into fine dust.
In the distant sky, the various experts all felt their hearts tremble. Faced with the descent of such a Cangtian Finger, forget about others, even an ordinary Divine King, if struck, would likely be unable to withstand it, instantly reduced to dust, ceasing to exist.
"Severing Heaven Finger!"
Facing this finger, Ye Chen also pointed out a finger. It was still the Severing Heaven Finger, but the coiling ancient Chaos Qi was vaster, and its aura was far more intense. It shot upwards, defying the heavens, colliding with the opponent's Cangtian Finger.
This finger even contained the determination of the Battle Saint lineage to sever the Heavenly Dao and act against the heavens.
Rumble—
Finally, the two equally massive fingers collided in the sky.
At the point of collision between the fingertips, heaven collapsed and earth crumbled in an instant. Everything moved towards complete annihilation. Countless massive spatial cracks opened one after another, spreading across a radius of hundreds of thousands of li.
An aura of world destruction rippled out, causing many continental fragments to disintegrate, affected by the aftermath.
This area could almost be called a zone of world destruction, where everything was headed for complete ruin.
The Cangtian Finger and the Severing Heaven Finger also shattered one after another, neither able to gain the upper hand over the other.
At the same time, Ye Chen moved. He took the initiative to attack, stepping forward one step at a time. It seemed slow, yet with each stride, time and space shifted—it was actually extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Cang Qingyang, facing this newly-advanced Divine King Heaven's Pride head-on. He swung his Chaos Saint Fist to strike, and with his other hand, transformed it into a majestic heavenly stele to smash down. One fist, one palm, a two-pronged assault.
"Scram!"
Cang Qingyang still carried an air of wild arrogance. Not even a Divine King, yet daring to battle him? Did he truly think everyone was the Cangtian Imperial Son? Even if it was the Battle Saint King, he did not take him seriously.
With both hands forming seals, he unleashed a Cangtian Seal. Immediately after, ten massive Cang Dragons flew out from behind him, transforming and biting over.
Boom—
The two sides collided. The terrifying divine energy between them could annihilate much. Both were sent flying back, but Cang Qingyang's ten Cang Dragons were not completely vanquished; three remained, continuing to bite forward.
Whoosh—
Ye Chen tore through the void. With a peerless method, he directly buried the three Cang Dragons. At the same time, the two were already facing each other head-on.
Boom—
Without another word, Ye Chen directly displayed powerful divine abilities. One of his eyes transformed into a boundless world of life, the other into a world of death. The energies of life and death circulated, forming a Life-Death Taiji Diagram.
His four limbs then transformed, becoming the Four Sacred Beasts: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
Within his body, the five viscera connected with the Five Elements, transforming into a Five Elements Divine Wheel that circulated vast Five Elements light...
All these supreme divine abilities were displayed. Originally terrifying enough, after being augmented by ancient Chaos Qi, their power multiplied, instantly leaping up a major level as he launched an all-out assault.
How could Cang Qingyang dare be careless? This Battle Saint King before him was indeed a peerless Heaven's Pride. He also unleashed various Emperor-level divine abilities and techniques of the Cangtian Imperial Clan, clashing head-on.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The collision between the two sides was incomparably intense.
It was as if two extraordinary Divine Kings were fighting. With every move, every gesture, it was nothing less than earth-shaking, heaven-trembling vast majesty. Ordinary Divine Kings would tremble with fear; how could they possibly face it?
Within a short time, the two had exchanged blows many times, yet the outcome remained evenly matched.
This shocked many, Cang Qingyang included. Although he was not a strongest young generation's supreme, as a newly-advanced Divine King, he should at least require a Half-Step Divine King level strongest young generation's supreme to be his match. Yet, the Battle Saint King was only at the Tenth Heaven late stage, not the peak, not even a Half-Step Divine King, yet he could truly fight on equal footing. This was beyond many people's expectations.
No wonder, in battles within the same realm, Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao descendants, and strongest young generation's supremes all had only the path of being suppressed. His combat power had indeed reached an extreme level.
Boom—
Another collision, still at an evenly matched level.
This time, Ye Chen charged forward even faster. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a Black Hole—the Heaven-Breaking Style—enveloping heaven and earth, and more importantly, enveloping Cang Qingyang.
"Some skill, but still far from enough."
Cang Qingyang said coldly, naturally unwilling to show weakness. From the crown of his head, his Divine King Great Dao Origin emerged, transforming into a real Cang Dragon. Opening its maw, it transformed into another abyssal Black Hole, colliding with Ye Chen's.
Rumble—
The two collided. Under the Divine King Great Dao Origin, even Ye Chen's Heaven-Breaking Style Black Hole directly collapsed, for this was the mighty power of the Divine King Great Dao Origin.
"Go, devour him!"
With a cold shout, Cang Qingyang commanded the Cang Dragon formed from his Divine King Great Dao Origin. It directly charged towards Ye Chen, claws bared and fangs exposed, wanting to devour him, and more importantly, to devour the Chaos Great Dao upon him.
"Submit obediently and be bound. This Divine King only wants your Chaos Great Dao. You know you cannot resist the Divine King Great Dao Origin."
Once that massive Cang Dragon emerged, even Ye Chen's imposing aura was suppressed.
"Daring to unleash a complete Divine King Great Dao Origin, your courage is indeed commendable. Not something an ordinary person can do," Ye Chen said, though the corner of his mouth lifted in a cold, mocking smile. "But who said only you possess a Divine King Great Dao Origin!"
Boom—
Suddenly, from the crown of Ye Chen's head, a divine light shot up. It was a gray, misty expanse, carrying the illusory shadow of the vast Cangtian. With a transformation, it actually also turned into a fearsome Cang Dragon, charging forward to collide.
"Divine King Great Dao Origin!?"
The various experts were all shocked. Had the Battle Saint King also condensed one?
And more importantly, the aura of the Divine King Great Dao Origin that shot from the crown of the Battle Saint King's head was clearly identical to Cang Qingyang's Divine King Great Dao Origin aura, as if they belonged to the same type of Divine King Great Dao Origin.
"How do you also possess my Cangtian Great Dao Origin?" Cang Qingyang also roared. In the distance, the Cangtian Imperial Son, the Divine Kings of the Cangtian Imperial Clan, and many other Heaven's Prides were also filled with doubt, for all this was far too bizarre.
Boom boom—
The two fearsome Cang Dragons collided head-on. However, Ye Chen's Cang Dragon was somewhat outmatched and was directly sent flying, tumbling through the void.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief. So it wasn't a complete Divine King Great Dao Origin, but merely an embryonic form. Otherwise, for the Battle Saint King, with his current cultivation, to possess a complete Divine King Great Dao Origin would be far too shocking.
Yet, in the next moment, everyone was petrified, their eyes wide. For Ye Chen said, "Although it's only an embryonic form of a Divine King Great Dao Origin, thank you nonetheless. If not for the previous exchanges, the close-range sensing again and again, I wouldn't have been able to condense this embryonic form of a Divine King Great Dao Origin so quickly."
