And within this boundless Martial Training Heaven and Earth, countless immortals appeared. There were aloof immortals, gracefully dancing immortals, peerless and matchless immortals, and devastatingly beautiful immortals. All were immortals standing above the mortal dust, all were supreme immortals from the Primordial Immortal Realm.
But the immortals of the All Heavens all drifted down, their figures spilling blood across heaven and earth, a tragic yet stunning sight.
During this, Shen Rong transformed into the Slaying Immortal Great Emperor, a figure of unparalleled might from the Mythical Era, wielding an Immortal-Slaying Sword, staining all immortals with blood.
His very first move was a fearsome killing technique, supremely powerful and boundless.
All spectators felt a chill, for Shen Rong understood that ordinary moves could not harm Ye Chen. Moreover, at this stage, only by unleashing such a technique would be the most direct and effective.
"Divine King Level Immortal Slaying Great Dao origin and concept!"
Ye Chen also came to a realization. Seeing Shen Rong before him, who seemed to be treading upon the corpses of immortals like the world-destroying Slaying Immortal Great Emperor, advancing step by step with unparalleled might, he also smiled faintly and said, "Immortal Slaying? Then I shall be the Eternal Immortal!"
He simply took a light step forward. Visible to the naked eye, a ring of strange light spread out from beneath his feet, rapidly expanding like a kind of field.
But as this field spread, countless wondrous immortal realms appeared, containing things that only the Immortal Realm should possess. Furthermore, one supreme immortal after another stood eternally, seated cross-legged throughout the All Heavens, reciting immortal scriptures, emanating an aura of peace and sacredness that could dissolve all evil in the heavens and suppress everything.
This was a Divine King Domain. The moment it expanded, it blocked the spread of Shen Rong's domain. The two collided, radiating light that seemed to split the heavens.
However, anyone could see that Ye Chen's Divine King Domain was more terrifying. During the collision, it steadily advanced and eroded Shen Rong's Divine King Domain.
"One slays immortals, one eternizes immortals—Great Daos that are naturally opposed!"
Among the spectators, someone sighed, marveling at Shen Rong's Immortal Slaying and even more astonished by Ye Chen's Eternal Immortal.
Yet many were even more shocked to sense that Ye Chen's power of immortal light was in no way inferior to that of an Immortal Dao scion. It was as if he himself were an Immortal Dao scion, capable of unleashing pure immortal power.
Shen Rong's expression remained calm. Lifting the blood-dripping Immortal-Slaying Sword, which contained the origin and concept of his Divine King Great Dao and even mobilized the power of his entire domain, he slashed heavily towards Ye Chen.
Crack—
This strike could utterly slay an ordinary Divine King, powerful to the extreme.
Boom—
With a shift in Ye Chen's gaze, the Eternal Immortal Domain suddenly erupted with billions of zhang of immortal light, blocking Shen Rong's Immortal-Slaying sword strike.
"Immortal Blood Annihilates the World!"
Shen Rong roared. Drops of blood immediately fell from the Immortal-Slaying Sword, as if they were the Immortal Blood of supreme immortals, containing unparalleled might, seeking to blast through the defenses of the Eternal Immortal Domain.
"Immortal Purity Through All Ages!"
Standing calmly at the very center, Ye Chen softly uttered these words. The billions of zhang of immortal light grew even more fiery and dazzling, blocking all the world-annihilating Immortal Blood one by one, even forcefully purifying it, turning it into nothingness until everything vanished.
At the same time, Shen Rong moved. Swinging the Immortal-Slaying Sword, he severed the vast sky, intent on slaying immortals and staining heaven and earth with blood.
That Immortal-Slaying Sword aimed directly for the space between Ye Chen's eyebrows.
At this point, only a final killing strike could break through Ye Chen's defense, and he did not truly intend to kill Ye Chen.
Boom—
The immortal light was eternal. Even though Shen Rong's sword strike surpassed that of many Divine Kings, the moment it pierced forward, it met unparalleled resistance, finding it difficult to advance much further.
"So strong!"
The crowd was shocked. Ye Chen's move fully displayed his peerless cultivation; even Shen Rong's final killing strike found it hard to break through.
Shen Rong was shocked and shaken, yet the fighting spirit blazing in his eyes grew even more intense. The blood on the Immortal-Slaying Sword became increasingly vivid as he unleashed the full combat power of a half-step Divine King Level Imperial Son, instantly tearing through the immortal light field and charging towards Ye Chen.
This sword strike was likely capable of slaying even a Three Tribulation Divine King.
At the same moment, Ye Chen also moved. He calmly watched the sword thrust coming at him and gently extended a single finger, imbued with a profound and mysterious power. It seemed slow yet was actually fast, landing precisely on the tip of the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
Boom—
The Martial Training Heaven and Earth violently trembled, nearly collapsing, with massive cracks spreading everywhere.
From the collision, a figure was sent flying backward—it was Shen Rong. He crashed heavily into the far end of the Martial Training Heaven and Earth, embedding himself within it, almost piercing through.
Without a doubt, the outcome of this battle was Ye Chen's victory, Shen Rong's defeat!
Not long after, Shen Rong soared back up, looking at Ye Chen with shock and awe. After a long while, his handsome face filled with an indescribable bitterness as he said helplessly, "I have lost!"
No one was surprised by this result. After all, Ye Chen had been able to slay a half-step Divine King Level Imperial Son back in the day, so the possibility of Shen Rong emerging victorious was absolutely minimal.
However, what caused people's expressions to drastically change was the terrifying nature of that single finger. It had defeated Shen Rong's strongest attack, yet the finger itself remained completely unscathed.
Simultaneously, some were even more astonished to discover that the hand with which Shen Rong wielded the Immortal-Slaying Sword was actually trembling, with streaks of blood staining the sword, seemingly ignored by the faintly discernible Immortal Blood on the blade.
When Shen Rong returned, Ye Cangqiong, Imperial Wuming, and others stepped forward to inquire. He smiled bitterly, "The bones in my hand are completely shattered!"
Such a collision resulting in shattered hand bones was quite normal and not particularly surprising.
But Shen Rong's next words caused their expressions to change drastically. They heard him say bitterly, "It's not just that the hand bones are shattered. They cannot heal in a short time. A terrifying force is coiled around my arm. If I hadn't used all my power to suppress it, this force might have been enough to shatter me to pieces."
Such an answer was undoubtedly shocking.
Not only had Shen Rong been blasted away, but a mysterious force had shattered his hand bones and nearly caused him, this Slaying Immortal Imperial Son, to be pulverized. Even if Ye Chen was powerful, could he really be strong to such an extent?
Yet, seeing the bitter smile on Shen Rong's face, they knew he was certainly not lying.
Their expressions shifted as they watched Ye Chen approach with an air of utter calm, his steps leisurely as if strolling through a garden. In almost the blink of an eye, he arrived before Shen Rong. He then passed his hand over Shen Rong's arm, and that terrifying force vanished in an instant, leaving not a trace behind.
Ye Chen smiled apologetically, "My apologies, I still couldn't quite control it properly and accidentally used it. You can heal your injuries now."
Rumble—
On Shen Rong's arm, the shattered hand bones began to rapidly reassemble, truly restoring themselves to a flawless state. His blood energy surged like a dragon, wildly churning.
But the shock in his heart did not cease. He looked at Ye Chen, slowly revealing that same bitter smile, then said, "Brother Ye, you truly are unrivaled below the Divine King realm!"
Ye Cangqiong, Imperial Wuming, Wu Shuang, and the others also fell silent, offering no rebuttal.
