"Haotian War God, I have long heard of your great name," Qin Wu said. Facing this existence who had already become a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch during the Dark Blood Era, and was now suspected to be a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch, he had to be extremely grave, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.
Wu Hao shook his head: "The so-called title of War God is merely a hollow reputation."
Qin Wu said: "Whether it's hollow or not, you indeed live up to that title. Though I am unwilling to cross hands with you, today, in order to welcome back our human race's Battle Saint King, I have no choice but to fight."
"Likewise, I also hope to witness the legendary, world-renowned divine abilities of the Haotian War God."
He sighed inwardly; after all, the other party was a suspected Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch. Even a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch like himself had to be utterly grave.
"Good, let me also see the capabilities of the Qin Family's Martial God," Wu Hao said.
One was an invincible War God from the Dark Blood Era.
One was an existence hailed as a Martial God.
Two of the foremost figures in the Quasi-Monarch domain now faced each other. Even without much terrifying aura clashing, it was enough to make all the Quasi-Monarchs on the human pass fortress watch this scene with wide eyes.
This was already a peak-level contest within the Quasi-Monarch domain.
"Haotian War God, behold this move of mine!"
Boom—
Qin Wu seized the initiative, striking first. He surged his martial will, carrying an unparalleled, peerless bearing, transforming into a pillar of divine radiance that reached the heavens.
Around the pillar of divine radiance, numerous Monarch Rules coiled densely—a full hundred or more, terrifying to the extreme—descending from the sky.
There were no divine abilities or secret arts; it was the simplest and most direct means of attacking Wu Hao.
This was the method of the peerless Martial God Qin Wu, one of his supreme techniques that allowed him to dominate the Quasi-Monarch realm, finding few rivals.
Wu Hao did not take it lightly; his face also held a trace of gravity as he likewise made his move.
With a light shout, a stream of innate essence energy surged from his mouth, also carrying the power of over a hundred Monarch Rules, terrifying to the utmost, tearing through heaven and earth as it heavily slammed towards that martial divine radiance pillar.
Boom—
The collision of the two diffused an intense monarchial heavenly might, no less formidable than Ye Chen's self-detonation. Moreover, the destructive power contained within was restrained, making it even more terrifying.
An ordinary Quasi-Monarch before it would have their physical body easily torn apart and slain.
This was the capability of a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch. Furthermore, Wu Hao seemed not to have exerted his full strength, only employing some of his means.
Qin Wu's expression was very grave. His figure spun, and the martial divine radiance pillar descended once more. The hundred or so Monarch Rules swirling around it all erupted with extremely fearsome power, crashing down from the sky.
Boom—
This stretch of heaven and earth completely shattered!
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The two supreme Quasi-Monarchs were engaged in combat. With every move, they unleashed overwhelming, matchless divine might. Monarch Rule Power collided, carrying a dense monarchial heavenly might, extremely fearsome, almost capable of crushing everything in the world.
"Great Desolate World-Annihilating Hand!"
At this moment, Qin Wu's expression turned incomparably grave. His hands swept through the air, and over a hundred Monarch Rules charged forth, then transformed in the sky into a colossal hand that blotted out the heavens, covering a radius of a million li, vast and boundless.
Monarchial heavenly might rippled, as if a hand of an Ancient Monarch was pressing down, annihilating time and space as it heavily slapped towards Wu Hao below.
This was a martial divine ability he created himself. Combined with Monarch Rule Power, it was terrifyingly powerful, elevated to a horrifying degree, sufficient to easily tear apart and shatter even a peak late-stage Quasi-Monarch. Its might was shockingly terrifying.
Wu Hao's expression also carried gravity. Deep within his palm, a pitch-black great hammer suddenly appeared, about the size of a water vat. Its entire body was covered in dark patterns, which were clearly interwoven Monarch Rule Power.
The pitch-black great hammer instantly enlarged. In the blink of an eye, it stretched for a million li, also immense and boundless, like a pitch-black Primordial Times demonic mountain, unbelievably huge, piercing into the clouds above, reaching straight into the starry sky beyond the domain.
The oppressive might was intense and boundless, disturbing time and space, causing countless stars to tremble.
"Haotian World-Suppressing Hammer!"
Wu Hao brandished the pitch-black great hammer, swinging it from below to meet the sky-blotting giant hand.
Boom—
The moment the sky-blotting giant hand and the pitch-black great hammer collided, they erupted with unparalleled, invincible might.
Two intense streams of monarch power bloomed, almost like two Ancient Monarchs making their move, reaching an inconceivably terrifying level, causing the Canglan Divine Sea below to completely disintegrate and collapse.
The intense power even gave birth to beams of destructive light that shot up into the clouds and also struck the earth.
Visible to the naked eye, stars in the starry sky beyond the domain were struck by the destructive light beams, then exploded one after another, completely turning to dust.
On the earth's surface, wherever the destructive light beams struck, deep abyssal black holes of unknown depth—tens of thousands of li—appeared.
The boundless earth thus instantly became riddled with scars.
On the human pass fortress within the Human Emperor Realm, the watching human powerhouses all drew in a sharp breath.
Was this the might of a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch?
To be terrifying to this extent? Ordinary Quasi-Monarchs truly paled in comparison.
At the same time, within the spatial abyss, Ye Chen, relying on the martial will-condensed divine bridge reaching the heavens, was rapidly approaching. His figure was swift as lightning. In a short time, he had crossed two-thirds of the distance and was about to leave the spatial abyss.
Witnessing the scene of the battle between the two, his mind was shaken, yet he also felt some confusion.
Wu Hao was reputed to be a suspected Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch, yet he could only fight Qin Wu, a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, to a draw?
He was actually somewhat puzzled, feeling that something was off, yet for the moment, he couldn't pinpoint what exactly was amiss.
At this very moment, Qin Wu had long since leaped forward, arriving before Wu Hao.
A war sword appeared in his hand, its entire body interwoven with fearsome Monarch Rule Power. The clanging sound was incessant as he engaged Wu Hao in close-quarters combat, carrying overwhelming might, extremely fearsome.
Wu Hao was naturally no ordinary figure either. That pitch-black great hammer was terrifying. Although it was merely condensed from Monarch Rules, it was no less formidable than a true Quasi-Monarch weapon, even surpassing it by a significant margin. Colliding with the sword, waves of destructive power occasionally scattered, wantonly destroying heaven and earth.
In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over a hundred moves. Each move and technique could easily annihilate a Divine King and severely injure an early-to-mid-stage Quasi-Monarch powerhouse.
Boom—
At this moment, Ye Chen successfully rushed out of the spatial abyss and, stepping on the divine bridge reaching the heavens, charged towards the Human Emperor Realm.
Seeing this, Wu Hao slightly frowned. However, facing Qin Wu, who was fiercely attacking him before his eyes, he couldn't spare much strength.
"Although this is just an incarnation, unable to fully unleash all the strength of my true self, I can't afford to hold back at this moment."
Wu Hao suddenly sighed.
