Ye Chen said indifferently, "Divine Emperor's Son, remembering the friendship of sharing a drink in the Emperor's Hall back in the day, I am unwilling to strike you. Leave quickly, otherwise next time I will not hold back."
Upon hearing this, the Divine Emperor's Son's expression changed drastically.
So did everyone else.
To flick a finger and send the Divine Emperor's Son flying—this was with the Battle Saint King holding back. Otherwise, even someone as powerful as the Divine Emperor's Son would likely have been severely injured.
"Indeed," someone said gravely. This was a Quasi-Monarch at the late stage speaking, causing many to change their expressions. The evaluation of the Battle Saint King was truly high. "Back then, the Battle Saint King at the Ten Tribulation Divine King level was already capable of slaying a late-stage Quasi-Monarch, let alone now that he is a true Quasi-Monarch. He is probably capable of retreating unscathed even against a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch. Although the Divine Emperor's Son is strong, he is at most at the mid-stage Quasi-Monarch level. He is simply no match for the Battle Saint King. With the Battle Saint King's ability, killing the Divine Emperor's Son is not impossible."
"You dare harm my clan's Young Ancestor? Battle Saint King, you're courting death!"
After putting down the Divine Emperor's Son, the Taicang Quasi-Monarch roared furiously, soaring into the sky and actively charging to kill Ye Chen.
"Courting death? The one courting death should be you!"
A cold smile curled at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth. After being hunted down repeatedly back then, and now having advanced to Quasi-Monarch and truly possessing absolute combat power, how could he, Ye Chen, not seek revenge? He would take his revenge now.
Boom—
He shot out like a humanoid True Dragon, also charging to kill the Taicang Quasi-Monarch.
"Junior, you have quite the nerve! Even if you have truly become a Quasi-Monarch, so what? I am a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, capable of suppressing you with ease!"
The Taicang Quasi-Monarch spoke coldly, his Quasi-Monarch might erupting. With a raise of his hand, numerous Monarch Rules appeared—as many as sixty-six—condensing into a heaven-and-earth giant beast over a hundred thousand miles in size, a lion king.
The Lion King roared, shattering the vast heavens. A giant claw extended, covering a swath of the cloudy sky. The imposing might was so powerful it could easily severely injure or even kill an ordinary Quasi-Monarch.
"Such petty tricks dare to show off? Utterly laughable!"
Ye Chen sneered, flicking his hand as numerous Monarch Rules also appeared, transforming into a Primordial Times True Dragon, as if truly existing, carrying ancient Chaos aura, hundreds of thousands of miles long. A single sweep of its divine dragon tail lashed out.
Boom—
The two heaven-and-earth giant beasts condensed from Monarch Rules collided, their power no less than a great collision between peak late-stage Quasi-Monarch powerhouses, plunging the heaven and earth into true great destruction.
Boom—
In the end, the Lion King was sent flying, leaving only the Primordial Times True Dragon soaring in the sky.
"Heavens—the Battle Saint King's combat power is truly world-defying! He actually blocked and repelled an attack from a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch like the Taicang Quasi-Monarch. How powerful must he be?"
On the scene, there was nothing but continuous shock.
If it were just the Divine Emperor's Son, that would be one thing. Although strong, he was only at the mid-stage Quasi-Monarch level. The Battle Saint King back then could already slay a late-stage Quasi-Monarch. Instantly defeating the Divine Emperor's Son was somewhat surprising, but still normal.
But the Taicang Quasi-Monarch was different. He was a veritable Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, a true peak powerhouse among Quasi-Monarchs, one whose origin world transformation exceeded ninety percent, on the verge of taking the final step to become an ancient Sovereign revered throughout the ages. His strength was immeasurably greater than the Divine Emperor's Son.
Yet even an attack from someone as powerful as the Taicang Quasi-Monarch was blocked and sent back?
It must be said, this was quite a shocking matter.
"Go!"
At the same time, Ye Chen uttered a Dao shout. The Primordial Times True Dragon beneath him, howling at the sky, charged over, killing towards the Taicang Quasi-Monarch.
"Hmph, so what if you really have such methods? A Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch is still not someone a junior like you can match."
The Taicang Quasi-Monarch snorted coldly with an ugly expression. A war halberd appeared in his hand, radiating infinite light. One hundred and eight Monarch Rules emerged, enveloping him as if condensing a layer of Sovereign light. His imposing might climbed steadily, far surpassing his previous state.
"Sun-Destroying Heavenly Halberd, slash!"
The Taicang Quasi-Monarch roared angrily, the Sun-Destroying Heavenly Halberd slashing down with world-destroying, earth-shattering imposing might, sweeping forth as if to split this stretch of vast heavens in two, chopping towards Ye Chen.
"Well met! Watch me break ten thousand techniques with one cauldron!"
Ye Chen laughed heartily, summoning the Chaos Great Cauldron. It radiated infinite Chaos light, wrapped in the phantoms of the myriad worlds, descending from the sky with boundless imposing might, fiercely colliding with the Sun-Destroying Heavenly Halberd.
Boom—
The most terrifying collision erupted. Vaguely, one could see numerous Monarch Rules intertwining and colliding continuously, as if Quasi-Monarchs were wantonly clashing, their power fully unleashed.
This stretch of the vast heavens was directly smashed down, and it continued to spread, threatening to completely crush all things tangible and intangible.
At this moment, the Sun Emperor Lord made a move, suppressing all the power within a certain range, preventing it from truly spreading. Otherwise, even the Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants present would likely suffer heavy casualties.
Here, Ye Chen remained completely unscathed. Wrapped in ten thousand layers of ancient Chaos aura, he appeared like an immortal Heavenly Emperor. He laughed heartily, filled with exhilaration: "What a fine Taicang Quasi-Monarch! Fighting with a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch like you is truly exhilarating. Again!"
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Ye Chen, peerlessly valiant, continuously attacked, clashing head-on with the Taicang Quasi-Monarch.
The Taicang Quasi-Monarch also wore a grave expression, not daring to be careless. Wielding the Sun-Destroying Heavenly Halberd, he no longer held back, exerting his full strength.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
A fearsome Quasi-Monarch-level great battle unfolded, and it was no ordinary Quasi-Monarch battle.
For the Taicang Quasi-Monarch was a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, a supreme powerhouse among Quasi-Monarchs. On the other side, although the Battle Saint King had just become a Quasi-Monarch, his strength was actually not the slightest bit inferior to the Taicang Quasi-Monarch's.
Moreover, in the great battle, he fought the Taicang Quasi-Monarch to a stalemate, soaring into the heavens and plunging into the earth. Every move and gesture shattered heaven and earth, pulverized worlds. That level of power far surpassed that of ordinary Quasi-Monarchs by an immeasurable degree.
"Imperial Divine Hand!"
The Taicang Quasi-Monarch shouted loudly, executing the Divine Emperor Clan's Emperor Art divine ability, combined with the power of numerous Monarch Rules. It could be said he had executed this Emperor Art divine ability to an extremely terrifying level.
The extended giant hand was completely interwoven and imprinted with dense Dao patterns, with Monarch Rules flickering unceasingly, capable of shattering a planar world and slaying ordinary Quasi-Monarchs.
"Heaven-Shaking Hand!"
Ye Chen countered hand with hand, executing the Heaven-Shaking Hand from the Battle Saint's techniques, clashing with it.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had collided hundreds, even thousands of times.
Each time was a fearsome collision of Monarch Rules. The destructive power emerging here was absolutely terrifying enough to be called earth-shattering, causing the Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants of the various heavens to repeatedly change expressions.
