It was unprecedented. Someone had actually reached this step within the Half-Step Divine King realm. Calling it world-defying was not an exaggeration.
Perhaps it could even be called unique throughout the ages.
One must know, for an ordinary person to be able to condense a single Divine King Great Dao Origin while at the Half-Step Divine King stage was already astonishing. Like Cang Qingyang back then, who condensed the embryonic form of a Divine King Great Dao Origin before becoming a Divine King, he was hailed as a peerless genius.
Other Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao descendants, and the strongest young supremes might be able to condense a complete Divine King Great Dao Origin within the Half-Step Divine King realm, or even comprehend a Conceptual Realm. That would already make them monstrously talented, but it was impossible for there to be many. Being able to achieve two or three types would be incredible.
But the Battle Saint King had truly defied the world, exceeding ten types. Calling him earth-shattering and unprecedented was not an overstatement.
Too terrifying, too monstrous. Who could compare?
Even the Cangtian Emperor's Son changed color, staring at this scene in shock and muttering, "How is this possible? It can't be!"
He roared, unwilling to believe what was before his eyes. For an Imperial Son figure who often set records to be so incredulous, one could imagine just how terrifyingly monstrous Ye Chen was.
"That's it! You cultivate the Chaos Great Dao, which is the origin of all Daos. It can also simulate various Great Daos. You must have simulated them directly with the Chaos Great Dao. They can't be real." The Cangtian Emperor's Son shouted, questioning whether the Divine King Great Dao Origins and Conceptual Realms on Ye Chen were all simulated by the Chaos Great Dao and not truly condensed.
Others also felt this was a very likely possibility. After all, for a Half-Step Divine King to possess so many Divine King Great Dao Origins and Conceptual Realms was truly too terrifying. Calling him peerless throughout the ages was not an exaggeration; even ancient Great Emperors and Supreme Immortals would probably find it hard to believe.
Ye Chen charged straight over, carrying absolute ruthlessness and indifference. "Since you think so, try them out!"
"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth!"
A Dao shout rang out. The Divine King-level Five Elements Great Dao Origins of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, carrying their corresponding Conceptual Realms, charged straight over, terrifying to the extreme, tearing through the sky, descending from the heavens, and crashing forward.
A sky-propping golden staff, a heaven-supporting divine tree, a boundless vast ocean, a blazing boundless sun, and an endlessly expansive continent—the five Divine King Great Dao Origins combined with their Conceptual Realms directly materialized into tangible Divine King Spirits. Each one actually possessed terrifying power comparable to a Three Tribulation Divine King.
With just a roar from the Cangtian Emperor's Son, it was as if five Four Tribulation Divine Kings were attacking. They collided, directly blasting away the Five Elements Divine King Spirits.
But they were not immediately destroyed, because he could feel it—these were genuine Divine King Great Dao Origins and Conceptual Realms, not simulated by the Chaos Great Dao.
His heart sank, but he quickly regained his indifference. The Cangtian Emperor's Son said, "So what if you truly possess these few Divine King Great Dao Origins and Conceptual Realms? Combined, they are only comparable to a Three Tribulation Divine King. How can you fight me? Be destroyed!"
Grasping the Heaven's Sword, he led four terrifying Divine King Spirits in conquest, sweeping through everything, intending to completely annihilate these Five Elements Great Daos.
Indeed, although the Five Elements Great Daos were powerful, they were indeed no match.
But Ye Chen took a step forward, entering the center of the Five Elements Great Daos, and said ruthlessly, "Indeed, the Five Elements Great Daos separately are no match for you. But what about fused together?"
Boom—
As if responding to Ye Chen's will, the five Divine King Spirits suddenly began to combine.
The whole world shook. Could the Five Elements Great Daos actually fuse?
However, the Imperial Sons and Daughters of various races, Immortal Dao descendants, the strongest young supremes, and even the older generation Divine Kings all changed color drastically. Because merging two Divine King Spirits was already a heaven-defying act. But similarly, once combined, it was not a simple one-plus-one; the power increased exponentially.
But equally, doing so was undoubtedly extremely difficult. Even a Five Tribulation Divine King could not achieve it, because Divine King Great Dao Origins were different from ordinary Great Daos. Once condensed, they seemed to possess a kind of self-awareness and would resist each other, making true fusion extremely difficult.
Moreover, adding the Divine King Spirits born from Conceptual Realms made it even more difficult.
Generally speaking, one needed to reach the level of a Seven Tribulation Divine King to begin attempting to fuse Divine King Spirits.
The mutual fusion of five Divine King Spirits was probably something only a peak Divine King could accomplish.
But it was very clear that the Battle Saint King intended to fuse the five Divine King Spirits of the Five Elements Great Daos.
"Impossible to succeed. Even a Seven Tribulation Divine King cannot achieve this step. Once these Divine King Spirits resist, they become the most terrifying forbidden weapons. Even a Five Tribulation Divine King would be utterly annihilated, without exception."
Almost everyone shook their heads. Achieving this step was truly too difficult. Under normal circumstances, a Seven Tribulation Divine King could only begin fusing Divine King Spirits, and even then only two. For the Battle Saint King to want to fuse five Divine King Spirits was simply a pipe dream.
"Truly impossible?"
Ye Chen's expression was calm. Chaotic ancient qi surged from his body. Using the Chaos Great Dao as the intermediary harmonizing agent, he drew the five great Divine King Spirits to the center. Under the harmonizing effect of the chaotic ancient qi, they began to slowly fuse.
Rumble—
Just as they began to touch and fuse, a rumbling roar echoed incessantly. Clearly, during their mutual collisions, strands of destructive power capable of annihilating the mortal world were spilling out. Even a single spark would make a Great Ability expert change color; if it landed on them, even if they didn't die, they would be severely crippled.
And this was just the initial contact. If a true explosion occurred, it would likely destroy this heaven and earth, affecting nearly half a great domain.
Others all changed color, retreating immediately. They feared that under the Battle Saint King's forced fusion, the five Divine King Spirits would undergo the most terrifying explosion. In that case, they would all be affected, and the consequences would be truly unimaginable.
However, with the chaotic ancient qi, the five Divine King Spirits were indeed slowly fusing. Even though they continuously leaked strands of world-destroying aura, they never truly exploded. This made many people's hearts tremble with fear. The Battle Saint King was truly a madman.
The Cangtian Emperor's Son also sensed that terrifying destructive aura. At his level, he similarly dared not let Ye Chen continue like this. Not only could fusion not be allowed, but even if an explosion occurred, he felt it would be extreme and he would inevitably suffer terrible repercussions. He immediately took action, charging forward to kill.
Rumble—
Ye Chen let out a long roar. Although he very much wanted to fuse, it was not possible. It was already fraught with difficulty, and now with the Cangtian Emperor's Son attacking, he directly separated them. This also made many people sigh in relief. Otherwise, if things continued like this, the consequences would truly be unimaginable.
The Cangtian Emperor's Son continued his assault. Leading his four Divine King Spirits, he charged forward, fiercely attacking Ye Chen.
"A pity, it wasn't completed."
Ye Chen sighed lightly, feeling that he had indeed been somewhat impatient. Generally, only a Seven Tribulation Divine King was qualified to attempt fusing Divine King Spirits. He had been too hasty.
Soon, his gaze deepened once more. "Originally, I intended to use your power to aid in fusing the Divine King Spirits. But it seems it's still too early. Better to finish you off quickly and study it later."
