"Indeed, Dao Youque was careless. Having just endured the most terrifying Ten Thousand Daos Divine King Tribulation, his form and spirit were unprecedentedly weak and withered. Even a Seven Tribulation Divine King couldn't withstand it. Moreover, the Battle Saint King is someone who has experienced the Ten Thousand Daos Divine King Tribulation himself. He deeply understands the period of weakness following the tribulation. Right now, Dao Youque, despite possessing peerless cultivation, is in an extremely frail state. Otherwise, even with Ye Chen's heaven-defying combat power, he couldn't possibly slaughter Dao Youque in such a manner."
"Ah—"
Dao Youque let out a long roar filled with unparalleled fury. Becoming a Seven Tribulation Divine King only to be humiliated like this filled him with immense unwillingness.
He wasn't weak; it was just that he had been blasted apart several times by Ye Chen earlier, and undergoing the Ten Thousand Daos Divine King Tribulation had exhausted all his essence, energy, and spirit, leaving him in his most vulnerable state. In contrast, his opponent remained consistently powerful, making Dao Youque feel a profound sense of powerlessness.
Otherwise, at the peak state of a Seven Tribulation Divine King, he firmly believed he could suppress his opponent instead.
However, Dao Youque was, after all, a direct disciple of a Heavenly Emperor. Naturally, he couldn't be so easily annihilated. Possessing various methods, he swallowed a pill, barely restoring some of his essence, energy, and spirit. He engaged in fierce combat with Ye Chen and the Chaos Divine King Spirit, both sides shedding blood.
But overall, Ye Chen still held the upper hand. Together with the Chaos Divine King Spirit, they launched a thunderous, decisive assault. After eighteen moves, they tore Dao Youque's body in half, nearly cleaving him completely.
Dao Youque screamed, suffering a terrifying heavy injury. That half of his body was sealed by Ye Chen within the Chaos Great Cauldron.
The entire world sighed. The Battle Saint King was too powerful. Even as a Heavenly Emperor's direct disciple who had advanced to a Seven Tribulation Divine King, Dao Youque encountered the greatest setback of his life, completely crushed and nearly split apart.
It could be said this was the most severe blow Dao Youque had ever suffered in history. One must know that in the past, he had always swept through his peers. He had even defeated supreme offspring like princes and princesses, possessing absolutely glorious battle records and was the future Sovereign Emperor of the Chaos Burial Ground.
Unfortunately, he faced Ye Chen—a figure so monstrous that he was one of the few in the entire Chaos Sea throughout countless epochs and eras!
Because of the Chaos Great Dao, he could no longer be confined by previous understandings.
Legend said that only by achieving Great Perfection of the Chaos Great Dao could one transcend. This was witnessed from Ye Chen.
Boom—
In the end, Dao Youque paid a heavy price. At the cost of having his remaining arm on his other half-body torn off again, he retreated miserably and helplessly to the rear of the Chaos Burial Ground Legion with his blood-stained, mutilated body.
This was his first major defeat against a peer in history, and a crushing one at that!
"Ah—"
Dao Youque's roar of rage shook the entire space-time of the Bone Demon Ancient Sovereign's tomb, causing many stars to explode. It carried a sense of humiliation and a powerlessness he had never felt before.
He, a dignified direct disciple of a Heavenly Emperor, had actually lost to a peer.
However, Dao Youque's Dao heart was very firm, not shaken much, because he deeply understood it wasn't that he wasn't strong enough, but that his opponent had pinpointed the weak period after the Ten Thousand Daos Divine King Tribulation and struck when he was at his most vulnerable.
Otherwise, as a Seven Tribulation Divine King at his peak, he had absolute confidence he could suppress his opponent.
Now, he just needed to recuperate from his injuries and recover.
Dao Youque lay hidden in the deepest part of the Chaos Burial Ground Legion. He took out various precious pills. As a Heavenly Emperor's direct disciple, he was never lacking in such divine elixirs and miraculous medicines.
After swallowing an eighth-rank high-grade treasure pill, his body immediately radiated splendor, flesh and blood regenerating. Combined with the Heavenly Emperor's healing Sovereign technique, the other half of his body rapidly regrew.
However, his origin was severely depleted, something ordinary pills couldn't restore immediately.
Naturally, Dao Youque wasn't lacking in pills that restored origin either, all at the eighth rank. Pills extremely rare in the outside world were a handful in his possession, showcasing the special status of a Heavenly Emperor's direct disciple.
He swallowed them one by one, sitting cross-legged in meditation to repair his origin.
The two Eight Tribulation Divine Kings returned, landing beside Dao Youque's secluded cultivation spot to protect his Dao.
Ye Chen's expression was indifferent. Naturally, he wouldn't allow Dao Youque to finish healing. He was determined to slay this peerless Divine King foe.
"Protect the Young Master!"
The two Eight Tribulation Divine Kings issued orders. Numerous massive stellar weapons wrapped around the area in layer upon layer.
Within the Chaos Burial Ground Legion, there were many stellar weapons, and even the most terrifying star fortresses with diameters of a hundred thousand li. Their fortress cannons aimed over, continuously spewing beams of light. Each beam contained Divine King origin force, posing a certain threat even to Divine Kings.
It could be said this was the embodiment of the Chaos Burial Ground's technology combined with cultivation, developed to a terrifying level.
Rumors said there existed absolute technological weapons comparable to Emperor Sovereigns, capable of burying an entire epoch era in the past. This was no empty boast.
What was before them was merely a drop in the ocean.
The combined forces of the various Heavenly Emperor Clans, Immortal Clans, Mythical Emperor Domains, and others had many Divine Kings, including numerous Divine King-level Emperor sons and daughters, Immortal Dao offspring, and Supreme Young Talents. Yet, even such an extremely fearsome force was blocked by the Chaos Burial Ground Legion using these terrifying technological Great Dao weapons. Both sides fell into a stalemate.
Boom—
Ye Chen was cold and unflinching. He directly charged forward, raising his hand as vast Chaos light surged, causing the Ten Thousand Daos to tremble. He plunged straight into the Chaos Burial Ground Legion.
"Attack!"
The legion commander spoke. Numerous technological Great Dao weapons fired. Countless dazzling beams of light locked onto Ye Chen's figure, raining down upon him.
With hundreds, even thousands of destructive beams attacking simultaneously, even a high-level Divine King would be annihilated. These destructive beams contained Divine King Great Dao origin force, extremely terrifying. Moreover, when their quantity reached a certain level, a qualitative change occurred.
"Ten Thousand Eras Turn to Void!"
A Dao shout exploded. It was Ye Chen. After advancing to a Chaos Divine King, this was his first time unleashing the Ancient Human Emperor's forbidden divine ability—Ten Thousand Eras Turn to Void!
All turned to void!
All beam attacks were annihilated, ceasing to exist!
It showcased the supremacy of the Human Emperor's forbidden divine ability and the astonishing nature of Ye Chen's cultivation. Their combination made him impervious to all methods, producing a heaven-defying effect.
Hum—
In Ye Chen's hand appeared a divine sword, three chi long, radiating Chaos light.
One sword slash! Boom—
One sword's light chilled the Nine Heavens!
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Visibly, over thirty stellar weapons ahead were cleaved in two. Sword radiance boiled, annihilating these stellar weapons and all Chaos Burial Ground beings upon them, utterly reducing them to ashes.
The combat power of a peerless Divine King was undeniable. He was too powerful, far beyond what these so-called stellar weapons could block.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Simultaneously, countless dazzling beams struck Ye Chen's body.
But Ye Chen didn't dodge, allowing these beams to land on him.
Clang—
The Chaos Saint Body was indestructible. Even these beams containing Divine King origin force could hardly harm him at all.
Ye Chen strode through the starry sky. His steps seemed slow, but each step seemed to reverse space-time, reaching an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, he plunged into the deepest part of the Chaos Burial Ground Legion.
His aim was to completely kill Dao Youque, to take his life, because this was a great threat to the Chaos Burial Ground. If not utterly slain this time, he might very well become another peerless Ancient Sovereign of the Chaos Burial Ground in the future.
The various Heavenly Emperor Clans, Immortal Clans, Mythical Emperor Domains, and others watched, sucking in cold breaths. The Battle Saint King was too domineering, actually charging alone into the deepest part of the Chaos Burial Ground Legion. Who knew if this fearsome legion still had hidden, terrifying trump cards? Even Huang Yao and another peerless Divine King talent hadn't dared to strike at the heart directly, harboring apprehension.
But the Battle Saint King feared nothing, acting directly.
Boom—
Ye Chen made his move. One fist strike sent out one hundred and eight divine light heavenly dragons entwined with Chaos ancient qi. Each was a hundred thousand li long, charging and killing into the Chaos Burial Ground Legion.
Behind him, the Five Elements Great World opened. The power of the Five Elements rotated, and the Five Elements Divine King Spirits manifested, bestowing origin force. It was extremely terrifying, causing heavy casualties among the Chaos Burial Ground Legion.
"Seeking death!"
From within the Chaos Burial Ground Legion, numerous supremely powerful Divine King figures charged out, including Five Tribulation Divine Kings and even three Seven Tribulation Divine Kings, all very powerful.
But clearly, this couldn't stop Ye Chen, a peerless Divine King. Even though only a Four Tribulation Divine King, he possessed combat power approaching the peak of the Divine King realm, far surpassing many Seven Tribulation Divine Kings.
Even so, a full ten Divine King powerhouses also blocked Ye Chen, preventing him from breaking through in a short time.
"It is you who seek death!"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed with cold lightning. His entire aura suddenly surged, Chaos light blazing for billions of zhang.
Boom—
He raised his hand and slapped out. Between his fingers and palm, numerous Divine King Great Dao origin forces circulated, containing various intents. As it descended, the starry sky overturned, and all heavens trembled violently.
"Ah—"
A Six Tribulation Divine King from the Chaos Burial Ground was struck head-on. Even though he immediately summoned his own Divine King Dao Weapon—a divine shield covered with endless Divine King runes interweaving and shining, spanning the heavens, capable of blocking a Seven Tribulation Divine King's strike—it couldn't withstand Ye Chen's blow. With a crack, the divine shield exploded into infinite fragments. Many fragments shot into his body, splattering blood.
He exploded on the spot, form and spirit annihilated.
Because Ye Chen had unleashed absolutely powerful combat power. Otherwise, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't have instantly killed a Six Tribulation Divine King like this.
At the same time, the Chaos Divine King Spirit beside him also acted. Slapping out with both palms left and right, it tore through the void with a sizzle, leaving two clear palm-shaped black holes in the space.
Two palm imprints vanished into the endless spatial turbulence. Almost simultaneously, they traversed over ten thousand li, appearing before two Five Tribulation Divine Kings of the Chaos Burial Ground.
Boom— Boom—
The two Chaos palm imprints instantly transformed, becoming over a hundred thousand li huge. Descending from the sky like the hands of an Ancient Great Emperor, they heavily slammed onto the two Five Tribulation Divine Kings.
Blood light soared, vast across the starry sky.
The two Five Tribulation Divine Kings were also annihilated.
In an instant, three powerful Five and Six Tribulation Divine Kings of the Chaos Burial Ground were slain. The might of the Chaos Divine King was fully displayed, placing immense pressure on the Destruction Legion of the Chaos Burial Ground side.
Ye Chen and the Chaos Divine King Spirit stood side by side, moving with the imposing air of a dragon and tiger. Their peerless divine might surged, invincible and unstoppable, making the Chaos Burial Ground Legion bear immense oppression.
"You all retreat! Deploy the World-Destroying Grade Mecha!"
From the deepest part of the Chaos Burial Ground Legion, a Dao shout suddenly rang out, shaking the entire starry space!
Boom—
Suddenly, at the very rear of the Chaos Burial Ground Legion, an astonishing aura erupted. An extremely terrifying technological weapon appeared.
