Boom—
With a deafening roar, Ye Chen self-destructed!
The most terrifying power erupted, flooding the entire Canglan Divine Sea, forcibly blasting apart this vast divine sea spanning tens of millions of li.
Most of the seawater evaporated.
A terrifying chaotic destructive light soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds and shooting into the starry void beyond the domain, affecting many stars, causing them to explode one after another.
The destructive power of the chaotic light was unprecedented.
Because it was the self-destruction of Ye Chen, whose strength rivaled the mid-stage Quasi-Monarch level. Even a peak powerhouse at the late-stage Quasi-Monarch level would suffer severe injuries if caught here.
The surging chaotic light spread everywhere, vast and mighty, nearly annihilating the entire Canglan Divine Sea.
The extremely terrifying fluctuations made both the human powerhouses closely watching from within the Human Imperial Realm and the other Quasi-Monarchs rushing over frantically feel their hearts pounding.
"The Battle Saint King self-destructed?"
Boom— Boom—
Boom— …
Upon sensing this truly world-ending level of destructive fluctuation, the Quasi-Monarchs from various places sped up even more, because they all knew the Heaven-Supporting Azure Ox was there, and he absolutely must not come to harm.
Ye Chen's sudden self-destruction startled everyone.
Especially the human powerhouses at the human pass fortress.
The Battle Saint King's self-destruction was an extremely serious matter, particularly since he represented the greatest hope of the younger generation of the human race. He absolutely must not come to harm.
Qin Wu remained calm, worthy of being a peerless Martial God-like existence, almost immediately regaining his composure after the initial shock. "Everyone, do not panic. Based on my understanding of the Battle Saint King, he would not meet his end so easily, nor would he rashly self-destruct. There must be some scheme of the Battle Saint King involved."
The other human powerhouses nodded.
Without truly reaching the final step, how could the Battle Saint King self-destruct so easily?
The boundless chaotic light spread and flooded an immeasurable number of li, burning the void to collapse, annihilating heaven and earth, unable to truly recover for a long time.
Moreover, judging by the situation, this chaotic light possessed special characteristics, and it was unknown how long it would take for it to naturally dissipate and vanish.
Boom—
At this moment, terrifying fluctuations erupted, spreading at an astonishingly rapid speed, then suppressing the layers of burning chaotic light.
A figure was revealed within, none other than Wu Hao.
However, at this moment, his figure was slightly disheveled, even the clothes on his body were somewhat charred, and the small boat beneath him was affected, completely turning to ashes within the chaotic light.
But Wu Hao was, after all, a suspected Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch. Even at such close range to Ye Chen's self-destruction, he remained unharmed, merely slightly disheveled.
He stood upon the void, a dense Monarch's heavenly might radiating from his body—one strand after another of Monarch Rule power, protecting him, preventing him from suffering significant damage.
He couldn't help but sigh softly in admiration. "Truly decisive, directly self-destructing. However, I don't believe your true self would self-destruct. I've heard you possess other supreme Dao bodies. I'm afraid it was a Dao body that self-destructed."
He turned his gaze towards the direction near the Human Imperial Realm and saw a figure rapidly flying through the air. Who else could it be but Ye Chen.
Sensing Wu Hao's gaze, Ye Chen's heart tightened. He wasn't surprised that Wu Hao could detect it, but he hadn't expected it to be so fast.
Just now, he had used his Chaos Supreme Body to self-destruct, while his true self seized the opportunity to charge towards the Human Imperial Realm.
Only in this way could he truly have a sliver of hope to break free from Wu Hao's obstruction and truly return to the Human Imperial Realm.
Seeing that his intention was detected, Ye Chen immediately burned with vast amounts of chaotic light, and the void shattered with a boom.
His speed increased even more, reaching a velocity that ordinary Quasi-Monarchs could hardly perceive. In the blink of an eye, he crossed over a hundred thousand li.
Now, he was only about a million li away from the Human Imperial Realm.
If given just a moment more, it would be enough for him to smoothly return to the Human Imperial Realm.
"Little friend, I said I would stop you. Apart from returning to the Human Imperial Realm, you can go anywhere within the vast Ten Heavens Ancient Domain."
Wu Hao shook his head, then moved.
In just a few breaths, he crossed over a million li, arriving before Ye Chen.
His speed was countless times faster than Ye Chen's.
Ye Chen's expression changed, feeling immense pressure as if facing an Ancient Monarch.
He couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. How could there be such a terrifying Quasi-Monarch in the world?
A Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch was truly heaven-defying enough!
Looking at the Human Imperial Realm, now only seventy or eighty thousand li away—for him, it was merely a moment's distance. Yet, this moment's distance felt incredibly remote.
Boom—
At this moment, the Human Imperial Realm opened, and Qin Wu appeared.
He unleashed powerful blood energy, like rolling crimson light flames steaming between heaven and earth, or like countless volcanoes erupting. His blood energy was immeasurable, carrying terrifying pressure as he rapidly approached step by step.
For the first time, a trace of solemnity appeared in Wu Hao's expression, directed at Qin Wu.
"Senior Qin Wu," Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Wu said solemnly, "Little friend, you return. I will block him here."
Ye Chen nodded. He also knew this was not the time for hesitation. He shifted sideways like lightning, circling around to charge towards the Human Imperial Realm.
Boom—
With a wave of his hand, Wu Hao shattered heaven and earth, causing a massive spatial chasm to appear between heaven and earth here, spanning an unknown number of li, blocking Ye Chen on the other side.
This method was truly astonishing, carrying intense pressure. Ye Chen paid no heed, his entire body burning with chaotic light, condensing into a streak of chaotic light that charged into it.
However, within the spatial chasm, there was a special Great Dao power. Though it appeared only ten thousand li wide, it contained Space Monarch Rule, making it effectively over ten million li in distance—truly terrifying.
Even if Ye Chen wanted to leap across, it would require some time.
The capability of a suspected Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch was terrifying to such an extent!
Seeing this scene, Qin Wu's expression turned grave. A pillar of light shot up from the crown of his head, carrying brilliant radiance and a fearsome Martial Dao Will, piercing through the void to land within the spatial chasm.
With a loud boom, it transformed into a heavenly divine bridge spanning both sides of the spatial chasm. The Martial Dao Will within radiated, suppressing the Space Monarch Rule within, greatly shortening the distance.
"Using Martial Dao Will to form a heavenly divine bridge, actually able to suppress Space Monarch Rule power to a certain extent. I must say, your Martial Dao Will is extremely strong, rare in a lifetime. You are a peerless martial artist."
Wu Hao looked at Qin Wu, giving a high evaluation.
