The Imperial Sons and Daughters of the various heavens and the Immortal Dao descendants could feel that even a single wisp of the residual shockwaves from the clash could severely injure them, or even cause them to vanish into nothingness.
“How terrifying! The Battle Saint King has not only become a Quasi-Monarch, but he is no ordinary Quasi-Monarch. He can truly fight against the Taicang Quasi-Monarch. Could he be a supreme powerhouse at the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level?” an Imperial Son exclaimed, utterly astonished by Ye Chen’s formidable combat power.
The other Imperial Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants all revealed bitter smiles.
In the past, although the Battle Saint King was stronger than them, they could still hope to catch up. But now, the gap between them seemed to have reached an insurmountable level.
“Heaven-Shaking Hand!”
“Heaven-Severing Finger!”
“Heaven-Suppressing Seal!”
“Void Style!”
“Myriad Realms Style!”
“Cosmos Style!” …
Ye Chen battled the Taicang Quasi-Monarch, unleashing one supreme divine ability after another in the blink of an eye. Empowered by Monarch Rules, their might soared to unprecedented heights, far surpassing ordinary times. He was like a Battle Sovereign on the offensive, his assault power defying the heavens, shattering the nine heavens and ten earths as he pressed forward.
On the other side, the Taicang Quasi-Monarch dared not be the slightest bit careless. Having witnessed Ye Chen’s fearsomeness, he continuously attacked, unleashing terrifying divine abilities one after another. Billions of radiant lights surged within the space, marking a peak-level battle between Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs.
In the blink of an eye, over a thousand exchanges had passed.
From beginning to end, neither side gained the upper hand, remaining evenly matched.
The various Imperial Clans and Immortal Clans were all closely watching. At the edges of the mysterious land, many forces had also projected screens to observe this peak showdown at the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level.
A battle of this level was no less intense than those between Ancient Monarchs, a rare peak confrontation across the ages.
Here, every move and gesture was accompanied by flashes of Monarch Rules, and any single Monarch Rule was enough to easily annihilate an ordinary Divine King.
With so many Monarch Rules flashing, they could literally blast apart a Monarch-level great world.
However, under the Sun Emperor Lord’s intervention, the battle was confined to a specific area.
“Hahaha, exhilarating, truly exhilarating! Fighting a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch is indeed different!”
Ye Chen laughed heartily to the sky, filled with exhilaration. He swung his fists and feet, the vast, mountain-and-sea-like torrent of Chaos Divine Power within him surging forth, unleashed to its fullest.
This was an exceptionally rare battle where he could truly let loose and fight without restraint, allowing him to familiarize himself with his real strength.
Although the Star Sky Quasi-Monarch was also a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, he was ultimately Ye Chen’s servant. Fighting him carried the worry of causing self-harm, imposing certain restraints.
But the Taicang Quasi-Monarch was not like that; he wished for nothing more than to kill Ye Chen immediately.
This allowed Ye Chen to understand even more clearly the true limits of his power.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly. Truly worthy of being a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, he was indeed terrifyingly powerful. After becoming a Quasi-Monarch, Ye Chen was far stronger in all aspects compared to his Ten Tribulations Divine King self, yet he still couldn’t gain the slightest advantage over the Taicang Quasi-Monarch.
He clearly understood that he had only just stepped into the Quasi-Monarch realm. The depth of his divine power was slightly inferior to the Taicang Quasi-Monarch’s, and his Monarch Rules were also somewhat lacking. Moreover, he couldn’t yet mobilize the power of his Origin World’s heaven and earth for his own use.
His advantage lay in his Chaos Saint Body, which was nearly comparable to an Ancient Monarch’s, arguably the strongest physical body beneath the Ancient Monarch level.
Additionally, the power of the Cosmos Origin was another advantage.
Therefore, despite Ye Chen’s divine power and Monarch Rules being slightly inferior to the Taicang Quasi-Monarch’s, his physical body and Origin power compensated, keeping them evenly matched.
However, compared to Ye Chen’s admiration, the Taicang Quasi-Monarch’s shock was written all over his face.
He was a dignified Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, with his Origin World’s heaven and earth conversion rate exceeding ninety percent. He had mastered over a hundred Monarch Rules and was on the verge of becoming a true universe overlord at the Ancient Monarch level. Yet, this young upstart, the Battle Saint King, having just stepped into the Quasi-Monarch domain, could fight him to a standstill.
If this continued, given a little more time, wouldn’t this Battle Saint King before him eventually reach the Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch domain, or even surpass it and step into the legendary mythical realm?
Thinking of this, the Taicang Quasi-Monarch’s heart was filled with boundless killing intent.
No matter what, he had to kill the Battle Saint King.
Thus, his combat power suddenly increased by another notch. Wielding the Sun-Destroying Heavenly Halberd with even greater ferocity, he shattered the void, Monarch Rules flashing, causing Ye Chen to finally shed blood.
“Yes, Taicang Quasi-Monarch, kill the Battle Saint King now!”
Many experts from the Imperial and Immortal Clans thought the same, feeling excited. Otherwise, the Battle Saint King would remain like an eternal, indestructible Chaos Divine Mountain, weighing down on the hearts of the Imperial Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants, making it difficult for them to surpass and break through, let alone compete for the “Supreme” Immortal Fate.
Ye Chen was slightly surprised. A Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch was indeed powerful; he hadn’t expected him to still hold some reserve strength.
However, he was no simple opponent either. He had only been caught off guard initially, causing him to bleed. After that, it became quite difficult for the Taicang Quasi-Monarch to make him bleed again.
“Alright, enough playing around. I’ll kill you now!”
Ye Chen suddenly declared. He summoned the six Colossal Divine Soldiers to form the Six Paths Battle Formation and also called forth the Star Sky Quasi-Monarch. Three Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level combat powers appeared, launching a full-force assault on the Taicang Quasi-Monarch.
“Battle Saint King, you are despicable!”
The Taicang Quasi-Monarch roared in fury, but there was nothing he could do. Under the combined assault of three Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level combat powers, he soon began to bleed and suffer injuries.
“Victors are kings, losers are bandits. Back when you hunted me, I was still a Divine King. You dispatched over a dozen Quasi-Monarchs, including Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs. I didn’t call you despicable then. Now you turn around and call me despicable? Utterly laughable!”
Ye Chen sneered, completely unconcerned. His true self, along with the Six Paths Battle Formation and the Star Sky Quasi-Monarch—three Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level combat powers—exploded with power, bombarding the Taicang Quasi-Monarch.
Before long, the Taicang Quasi-Monarch suffered grievous wounds, nearly on the verge of complete disintegration, about to be torn apart. His battle armor shattered, his body covered in numerous terrifying cracks.
The other Quasi-Monarchs from the Imperial and Immortal Clans wanted to assist, but they couldn’t. Almost all the human race’s Quasi-Monarchs had arrived, staring coldly at them. If they made a move, the humans would undoubtedly retaliate with thunderous force.
More importantly, the two Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs on the human side, Elder Xuandao and Qin Wu, stood imposingly above, their bodies faintly radiating a terrifying pressure that far surpassed ordinary Quasi-Monarchs, causing the others to tremble in fear, not daring to act rashly.
Furthermore, there was the Sun Emperor Lord. After the war two years ago, the agreement that Ancient Monarchs could not intervene had long been broken. The human race had far fewer reservations now.
“Battle Saint’s Roar!”
The Chaos Saint Soul infant within Ye Chen’s glabella suddenly shot into the sky, transforming into an immeasurable heaven-and-earth giant. Its entire body shimmered with a crystal-like, radiant luster—a manifestation of soul power condensed to a substantial level, giving a glimpse of the heights Ye Chen’s strength had reached.
The Divine Soul Giant looked down from above, unleashing terrifying roars and dao cries. Rolling waves of sonic power spread out.
Boom!—
The Taicang Quasi-Monarch bore the brunt of the direct soul roar collision, which was further imbued with Ye Chen’s heaven-defying supreme martial will. It felt like a substantial Chaos Immortal Gold hammer smashing directly onto his divine soul.
Boom!—
The Taicang Quasi-Monarch felt his divine soul tremble and buzz as if about to be torn apart, an extremely uncomfortable sensation.
Instantly, his mind plunged into a state of absolute blankness.
At the same time, Ye Chen directly manifested his Chaos Supreme Body and Chaos Divine King Spirit, splitting into three!
The Chaos Divine King Spirit at this moment had not transformed into Monarch Rules, but its entire body shone with the light of Monarch Rules, appearing remarkably humanoid and possessing an aura comparable to a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The three bodies attacked simultaneously, striking with the force of thunderbolts, like lightning, all bombarding the Taicang Quasi-Monarch whose soul was in a dazed state.
The Six Paths Battle Formation and the Star Sky Quasi-Monarch attacked at the same time.
Pfft!—
Under the combined assault of Ye Chen’s three most powerful bodies, along with the Six Paths Battle Formation and the Star Sky Quasi-Monarch, even though the Taicang Quasi-Monarch was truly powerful, he could not withstand it. In that terrifying collision, his physical body was directly torn apart and shattered, dismembered into pieces—a tragic sight.
Boom!—
The Chaos Great Cauldron descended from the sky, overflowing with billowing Chaos Ancient Qi. It manifested the myriad daos of the heavens, surging and intertwining, carrying world-destroying might as it smashed down.
This great cauldron had long since become a Quasi-Monarch Cauldron alongside Ye Chen’s advancement, and it was no ordinary Quasi-Monarch Cauldron—it was a future Supreme Artifact.
Now, with a single cauldron strike, the Quasi-Monarch Soul of the Taicang Quasi-Monarch, exposed after his body was torn apart, could not hold firm even as a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch Soul. It was forcefully torn asunder.
The Taicang Quasi-Monarch let out a final roar of unwillingness to the sky before being swallowed by the Chaos Great Cauldron, completely suppressed.
A generation’s Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch was thus suppressed!
The mysterious land fell into utter silence. Almost everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene before them.
The Taicang Quasi-Monarch had been suppressed. News of this would undoubtedly trigger an earth-shattering event across the entire Ten Heavenly Emperor Palaces Ancient Domain.
That was a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, one of the top supreme powerhouses among Quasi-Monarchs. Yet, he was unable to match a later-rising powerhouse like the Battle Saint King and was suppressed. One had to admit, this was incredibly shocking, making it difficult to suppress the towering waves of emotion rising within.
Who could have imagined that the Battle Saint King could suppress the Taicang Quasi-Monarch?
Although it was achieved with the help of the Six Paths Battle Formation and the Star Sky Quasi-Monarch joining the fray, regarding the Battle Saint King’s own strength, it was beyond doubt. It had been thoroughly demonstrated earlier when he fought the Taicang Quasi-Monarch alone—he was not inferior to a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch.
