At the same time, within the human race's Emperor World, atop the Human Pass Fortress, numerous human powerhouses had appeared.
Having witnessed the scene outside the Emperor World on the Canglan Divine Sea, and seeing Ye Chen erupting with that overwhelming might, even many Quasi-Monarchs couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
The Battle Saint King's current imposing aura was even stronger, not inferior to a mid-stage Quasi-Monarch.
They also saw that lone leaf-like skiff amidst the raging waves, seemingly on the verge of capsizing at any moment. Yet, the slovenly figure fishing on that skiff made their hearts sink, filling them with unparalleled shock: "The Haotian War God!"
The name of the Haotian War God was known to all Quasi-Monarchs within the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain. No one expected this extremely troublesome existence to have appeared.
Qin Wu also appeared, frowning slightly: "It's actually the Haotian War God. Even he has been invited out. The trouble just got much bigger."
He naturally also knew of the Haotian War God's battle records—a single slap that nearly shattered a late-stage Quasi-Monarch Supreme Powerhouse. Even a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch like himself would find it difficult to achieve such a feat.
The world spoke of the Haotian War God as a suspected legendary Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch, and the possibility seemed truly great.
"Prepare to intervene later. No matter what, we cannot let anything happen to the Battle Saint King."
Qin Wu spoke gravely. Although he had always remained within the human race's Emperor World, he was not unaware of events outside. He was also aware of Ye Chen's glorious achievements during this period—wiping out nineteen royal clans in a row, even destroying the Primordial Devil Royal Clan, a top-three strongest royal clan among the three thousand royal clans.
He had also forcefully barged into over a dozen imperial clans and immortal clans, displaying terrifying strength.
Precisely because of this, the various heavenly imperial clans and immortal clans harbored boundless killing intent towards Ye Chen, willing to go to any lengths to take action.
If not for the agreement among Ancient Monarchs not to intervene, the various heavenly Ancient Monarchs would have long since taken action to kill him.
"Understood!"
The other human powerhouses stood ready, the Human Pass Fortress flickering faintly.
Boom—
On the Canglan Divine Sea, a blazing pillar of chaos light shot into the sky, piercing through layers of clouds.
It seemed to become the sole existence between heaven and earth!
Ye Chen stood within it, the chaos light incredibly intense, resembling a chaotic sun, with ten thousand Daos boiling. At this moment, his essence, energy, and spirit had all been elevated to an unimaginable level.
"Fight!"
With a great shout, Ye Chen took the initiative, striking first. His entire being moved, like a human-shaped true dragon launching an attack, instantly shattering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The movement of a Quasi-Monarch possessed such terrifying power!
On the skiff, Wu Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.
Boom—
As Ye Chen charged over, the Five Elements Metal Realm opened behind him. Countless golden Dao weapons, carrying ancient chaos aura, all surged forward, enough to instantly annihilate a Peak Divine King, body and soul.
On the lone skiff, Wu Hao stood unmoving. A faint halo of light merely appeared around his body, easily blocking all attacks.
Even the most powerful attacks, capable of shattering stars with ease, were all stopped before this faint halo, not even shaking it in the slightest.
Ye Chen naturally had anticipated such an outcome, as this was a suspected Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch existence.
Boom—
Behind Ye Chen, a Buddha that supported the heavens and propped up the earth appeared, with boundless golden light, carrying auspicious sacredness and majestic authority. It was the Thousand-Handed Buddha. A thousand palm seals descended with overwhelming force, containing the mighty power of a thousand great Daos, blasting towards Wu Hao.
"A Forbidden Divine Ability of the Floating Pagoda Imperial Clan?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Wu Hao's eyes, seemingly puzzled as to why Ye Chen also mastered a Forbidden Divine Ability of the Floating Pagoda Imperial Clan, an imperial clan of the alien race, which stood in opposition to the Sealed Universe.
He simply didn't know that Ye Chen had suppressed many imperial sons and daughters of alien races, some of whom were still suppressed to this day, not yet dead nor truly rescued.
Naturally, with Ye Chen's current cultivation level, even employing a Forbidden Divine Ability like the Thousand-Handed Buddha could not truly harm a suspected Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch existence like Wu Hao.
Wu Hao smiled faintly and said, "Young friend, watch closely. Even a Forbidden Divine Ability can only unleash sufficiently powerful might in the hands of a true powerhouse. Otherwise, it merely possesses the form, lacking the true essence."
In his hand appeared a sword.
It was called a sword, but in reality, it was a Monarch Rule—a Sword Dao Monarch Rule!
The Sword Dao Monarch Rule radiated intense Monarch Heavenly Might.
Boom—
Wu Hao swung the Sword Dao Monarch Rule.
Swoosh—
The sword light surged to the heavens, splitting the sky and earth in two.
The heaven-propping, earth-supporting Thousand-Handed Buddha was also cleaved cleanly in half, along with the thousand palm seals that were about to strike, all utterly destroyed.
At the center of the Thousand-Handed Buddha, a golden Maha Cube was revealed, also easily split in two, exposing Ye Chen within, his entire body stained with blood.
The might of a single sword was terrifying to such an extent!
Ye Chen suffered heavy injuries, coughing blood continuously, his eyes filled with intense shock.
If not for the Maha Cube blocking for an instant, he might very well have been cleaved in two on the spot.
The strength of the Haotian War God far exceeded his imagination.
He had a feeling that facing the Haotian War God was like facing an Ancient Monarch.
He seemed utterly powerless to resist.
Was this the strength of a suspected Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch?
Boom—
However, Ye Chen was naturally no ordinary individual. Multiple healing divine arts circulated within his body, the Tree of Life blooming with vast life light, instantly repairing his injuries.
Moreover, he naturally possessed many divine abilities and secret arts. Without sparing vast amounts of divine power, he continuously attacked, launching a frenzied bombardment. The annihilating power was enough to completely obliterate the Canglan Divine Sea, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas—no exaggeration.
The sky was filled with the divine energy of great destruction.
Wu Hao stood firmly on the skiff, holding the Sword Dao Monarch Rule, his expression calm, easily dismantling every attack.
Neither he himself nor the lone skiff beneath his feet suffered the slightest damage.
Boom—
At this moment, Ye Chen also charged to Wu Hao's front, attacking with the Four Chaos Styles.
Heaven-Shattering, Void, Myriad Realms, Universe!
Even a Supreme Powerhouse Quasi-Monarch like Hong Wei would turn grave-faced confronting these—they were four terrifying divine abilities!
"Not bad divine abilities. It's a pity you haven't yet comprehended the power of Monarch Rules. If you could employ them with the power of Monarch Rules, these moves would be many times more powerful." Wu Hao offered this evaluation. Any divine ability or secret art could unleash unprecedented power in the hands of a Supreme Powerhouse precisely because Supreme Powerhouses possessed high-level power ordinary people lacked.
The power of Monarch Rules was one such example.
Whoosh—
The Sword Dao Monarch Rule slashed!
One sword to break ten thousand techniques!
The Four Chaos Styles were destroyed!
Even the Universe Style was useless. Before absolute power, it was so utterly fragile!
Swoosh—
Immediately after, Wu Hao swung his sword towards Ye Chen.
This sword was merely a simple swing, not employing absolute destructive force, only meant to stop Ye Chen, preventing him from advancing further.
But Ye Chen seemed utterly fearless. The moment he charged close to Wu Hao, his expression resolute, he softly uttered: "Explode!"
