This battle shook heaven and earth, its might vast across a million li, surpassing the imagination of the world. Even Divine Kings were utterly incapable of intervening.
Soon, Ye Chen revealed a look of astonishment. The Great Shang Dynasty's Quasi-Monarch had actually achieved forty percent world transformation, clearly a powerful mid-stage Quasi-Monarch, a notch stronger than the Primordial Demon Blood Monarch from before.
Each slash of his attacks carried not only the power of a Divine King's spirit and a Quasi-Monarch's might but also the force of a world's heaven and earth. It was truly terrifying, causing Ye Chen to suffer injuries multiple times, his Chaos Saintly Blood splattering.
He had somewhat miscalculated the strength of the Great Shang Dynasty. However, he feared nothing. After all, his opponent was not a late-stage Quasi-Monarch, and he himself was even stronger now than when he fought the Primordial Demon Blood Monarch.
Not to mention he still had trump cards like the Six Giant Divine Soldiers and the Reverse-Ancient Quasi-Monarch that he hadn't used.
The battle between the two supreme powerhouses was incredibly fierce. The Great Shang Dynasty's Quasi-Monarch was truly powerful, inflicting wounds upon Ye Chen, causing his Chaos Saintly Blood to splatter repeatedly.
However, the opponent clearly wasn't faring well either, suffering injuries of his own, with blood also flying.
In the end, after a full three thousand exchanges, neither could gain the upper hand over the other, both continuing to shed blood.
Overall, they were evenly matched, neither able to do anything decisive to the other.
Sensing powerful auras rapidly approaching from the distant sky—at least three Quasi-Monarchs were rushing over—Ye Chen's expression tightened slightly.
After clashing one more time with the Great Shang Dynasty's Quasi-Monarch, Ye Chen threw his head back and laughed heartily. "Shang Xia, today's battle was truly exhilarating! I look forward to crossing paths with you again someday!"
He turned and left, casting a deep glance at the Great Shang Dynasty's imperial clan's Ancient World.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to slaughter the Great Shang Dynasty's Quasi-Monarch right then. Even though the opponent was a notch stronger than the Primordial Demon Blood Monarch, he was fully confident he could kill him.
But the Great Shang Dynasty's Ancient Monarch would never stand idly by and watch that happen. Moreover, Ye Chen was unwilling to use his trump cards too early. Saving them for a more critical moment would yield greater effect.
"Hahaha—"
Ye Chen retreated completely unscathed. The Great Shang Dynasty's Quasi-Monarch wanted to give chase, as the other party had dared to wreak havoc in their imperial capital, slaughter countless experts, and suppress three Divine Kings, who were likely doomed.
However, the Dynasty's Ancient Monarch sent a mental message, ordering this Quasi-Monarch not to pursue. The opponent was too fiendish and dangerous, even for a mid-stage Quasi-Monarch like him.
It was only due to the Ancient Monarch's command that the Great Shang Dynasty's Quasi-Monarch refrained from giving chase.
Boom—! Boom—!
Boom—!
Not long after, three Quasi-Monarchs appeared above the imperial capital, having come to aid the Great Shang Dynasty.
Seeing the palace in ruins amidst the capital, they were all shocked. Although they had been stunned upon receiving the news, witnessing it firsthand still inevitably filled their hearts with shock.
The Battle Saint King truly dared to take action against the imperial clans and Immortal Clans.
He had destroyed an imperial dynasty's palace, angrily slaughtered numerous dynasty experts, and suppressed three Divine Kings. This time, he had thoroughly placed himself on the opposite side.
They had to admit, this time, the Battle Saint King had truly gone mad.
"This time, the Battle Saint King has really turned the world upside down. Provoking the imperial clans and Immortal Clans is one thing, but to actively attack, slaughter countless experts of an imperial clan, and utterly destroy the palace of a dynasty they established in the outside world... he has truly gone completely berserk," one Quasi-Monarch also exclaimed in awe.
Such an action, even they, as Quasi-Monarchs, viewed with extreme wariness. One wouldn't do such a thing unless pushed to a point of complete opposition, with a sea of blood enmity and killing intent.
Another Quasi-Monarch, however, shook his head. "What a pity. If I were the Battle Saint King, I would immediately return to the Human Race's Emperor Realm. Now he has stirred up a great disaster. The various imperial clans and Immortal Clans already didn't want him to grow up; this time, they will seize the chance to strangle him in the cradle. It won't just be us few Quasi-Monarchs."
With multiple Quasi-Monarchs acting together, no matter how powerful the Battle Saint King was, he was destined to fall.
"Let's also hurry to continue pursuing the Battle Saint King. Although we might not necessarily kill him, if that one appears, the Battle Saint King will likely be unable to escape calamity."
"Indeed!"
When mentioning that mysterious existence, even these three Quasi-Monarchs couldn't help but feel a sense of wariness, even a hidden thread of terror, as if it were an extremely fearsome being that could frighten even Quasi-Monarchs.
"Shang Xia, we take our leave first!"
The three Quasi-Monarchs bid farewell to the Great Shang Dynasty's Quasi-Monarch and then vanished, pursuing in the direction Ye Chen had left.
Shang Xia, the Great Shang Dynasty's Quasi-Monarch, also very much wanted to join the pursuit. However, he feared the Battle Saint King might circle back and launch a surprise attack. Thus, he had no choice but to remain stationed atop the ruined imperial palace.
Ye Chen's battle shook the world!
Not only because he managed to retreat unscathed despite facing pursuit from the Great Shang Dynasty's Quasi-Monarch, but more importantly, because the current Battle Saint King had completely cast aside his previous reservations and had begun targeting the imperial clans and Immortal Clans.
The Great Shang Dynasty was the best example.
Far away, billions of li from the Great Shang Dynasty, on a desolate mountain, Ye Chen wore a satisfied expression.
His trip to the Great Shang Dynasty was most satisfying for obtaining the Dragon Vein.
The Dragon Vein stretched for hundreds of thousands of li, like a true dragon traversing the sky, carrying a majestic and surging dragon might, along with a towering imperial dynasty's fortune.
This Dragon Vein had suppressed the national fortune of the entire Great Shang Dynasty for endless eons. The endless eons of national fortune of a great imperial dynasty were all concentrated here.
If it were to be re-deployed and a new nation established upon this foundation, drawing upon the vast imperial dynasty fortune within the Dragon Vein could protect the entire nation, allowing it to rapidly develop into an immortal ancient kingdom, easily passing down through ten thousand ancient ages.
However, its more important function was to use the Dragon Vein to help his soon-to-be-born child unlock the potential within its body.
Furthermore, with this Dragon Vein, as long as it was completely refined and fully integrated into the child's body, Ye Chen was confident that even if a Quasi-Monarch came, they might not be able to harm the child's safety.
Boom—!
He placed the hundreds-of-thousands-of-li-long Dragon Vein into the Chaos Great Cauldron. Boundless Chaos Dao Flames billowed forth, accompanied by wisps of Chaos Source Fire, beginning the refinement process.
During this, the sound of dragon roars echoed unceasingly. The giant dragon roared, shaking the Chaos Great Cauldron.
But it was all suppressed.
Ye Chen smiled faintly. "My future child, though your father doesn't know yet if you're a boy or a girl, I've already prepared the best gift for you. I hope you'll like it."
Afterwards, he released the Great Shang Dynasty's three Divine Kings. The strongest was merely a Four Tribulations Divine King, the weakest only a Two Tribulations Divine King. Before Ye Chen, they had no power to resist.
Ye Chen attempted to enslave them, as they still counted as Divine King combat power. Even if he didn't care much, he could take them back to the Sealed Boundary Universe, where they would be important combatants against the alien armies.
Unfortunately, the three imperial dynasty Divine Kings would rather die than submit.
Helpless, Ye Chen could only execute the three suppressed Divine Kings.
Since they refused enslavement, he would execute them and devour their three Origin Inner Worlds.
Unfortunately, it only caused the diameter of his Chaos Small Universe to grow by a mere three thousand li. The effect was minimal.
Ye Chen sighed. The expansion of the Chaos Small Universe required increasingly vast amounts of energy in its later stages. The Origin Inner Worlds of Divine Kings had little effect; only true Worlds would yield better results.
"Since that's the case, I'll just have to kill more Divine Kings and make up for it with quantity."
His gaze turned icy and fierce, fixing upon the various imperial clans and Immortal Clans.
