In the blink of an eye, the North Desolate Evil Emperor was severely wounded by Ye Chen once more.
"You brat, this Emperor will kill you!"
The North Desolate Evil Emperor roared, an infinite killing intent gathering and manifesting, vast and mighty.
He truly hated this. His current body was merely one possessed by an Emperor's thought left behind countless years ago, far from comparable to his true self. Otherwise, how could he allow a mere Quasi-Monarch junior to bully and humiliate him, an ancient Great Emperor? A single thought from his true self would be enough to annihilate such a being a thousand times over.
Ye Chen strode forward, his body like an aurora, reversing time and space, moving with unbelievable speed as he closed in on the North Desolate Evil Emperor.
"Kill me? You'd need the strength for that first."
He sneered, not taking the North Desolate Evil Emperor's threat seriously at all. Unless the true self made a move, what did he have to fear?
The dark golden great halberd swept through the air, cleaving through everything, sending the North Desolate Evil Emperor flying once again. Blood continuously splattered from his physical body, a pitiful sight.
The Quasi-Monarchs present felt a chill. Even those who hadn't understood at first now knew: the North Desolate Evil Emperor was a true ancient Great Emperor's possession, formed from an Emperor's thought. Even if he couldn't match the supreme, heaven-penetrating power of his true self, he was still astonishingly powerful.
Yet, facing Battle Saint King Ye Chen, he appeared so utterly wretched, like a stray dog. It was simply unbelievable.
At the same time, they gained a deeper understanding of Battle Saint King's strength.
This Battle Saint King's power was, at the very least, at the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level!
Strike while the iron is hot, take his life while he's weak—this had always been Ye Chen's creed. He was never a gentleman who insisted on a so-called fair fight.
He intended to completely slay the North Desolate Evil Emperor right now.
Boom—
Ye Chen swung the dark golden great halberd with one hand, its edge sharp beyond measure, capable of severing star rivers. He directly bisected the North Desolate Evil Emperor, separating his upper and lower body.
At this moment, the North Desolate Evil Emperor desperately tried to rejoin his two severed body parts. Faith Power boiled and burned, blood light reassembling. He also shouted towards the other Quasi-Monarchs: "Why aren't you all attacking? Are you just going to watch me be killed? Battle Saint King's strength has reached a level bordering on invincibility. Unless a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch or an Ancient Sovereign makes a move, none of you can be his match one-on-one. If this continues, you too will be picked off and killed one by one by Battle Saint King. Is that what you wish to see?"
It must be said that the North Desolate Evil Emperor's words truly struck a chord with many Quasi-Monarchs.
They all knew of Battle Saint King's supreme, peerless power, aware that very few could match him one-on-one. If they didn't unite their hearts and strength, continuing like this would indeed lead to them being defeated one by one, just as the Evil Emperor said, which was not what they wished to see.
Instantly, many Quasi-Monarchs were moved.
Ye Chen swept a glance over them and said indifferently, "This time, I'm only targeting the North Desolate Evil Emperor. He possessed my friend's body, so he must die. I won't specifically target others. Of course, those who attack must be prepared. I am no gentleman and will certainly seek revenge!"
The threat in his words was not concealed in the slightest.
The Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants from various heavens couldn't help but sigh.
Battle Saint King was still the same Battle Saint King from back then, as domineering and overbearing as ever, daring to threaten other Quasi-Monarchs who might dare to attack even at this moment.
But it must be said that the deterrent effect of such a threat was truly great.
How many people would dare to risk Battle Saint King's threat and make a move?
Boom— Boom—
Boom— Boom—
At this moment, four figures appeared like streaks of light and lightning, charging to kill Ye Chen.
They were precisely the Divine Emperor's Son and the other three Quasi-Monarch-level Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants. They showed no fear of Ye Chen's threat and attacked.
Especially the Divine Emperor's Son, wielding the Great Annihilation War Halberd, with the power of the Heavenly Dao fully integrated to its peak, radiating peerless, world-shaking domineering aura. He struck from behind Ye Chen like the Lord of Heaven himself making a move, supremely overbearing.
That Great Annihilation War Halberd descended, carrying over twenty Monarch Rules, terrifying to the extreme, absolutely capable of killing an ordinary Quasi-Monarch in one blow.
It also fused with the origin power of a world, causing its might to rise steadily.
If struck by this attack, even a late-stage Quasi-Monarch would likely be severely wounded if not killed outright.
This was also the Divine Emperor's Son's most powerful strike at the moment.
Simultaneously, Chu Shenjun, surrounded by three thousand immortal rings, with immortal radiance soaring to the heavens, shot out three thousand beams of immortal light, akin to three thousand Great Daos, charging to kill Ye Chen.
Yu Wudi and Huang Yao also launched fierce attacks.
In the blink of an eye, the four Quasi-Monarch-level Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants had almost all employed their most powerful methods to bombard Ye Chen and rescue the North Desolate Evil Emperor.
Seeing this, the other Quasi-Monarchs were almost moved to action, approaching as if they too wanted to seize the opportunity to join in and kill this invincible Battle Saint King.
"Scram!"
Ye Chen let out a great roar that shook the starry sky.
The Chaos Light on his body suddenly ignited, transforming into billowing Chaos Dao Flames. His aura climbed once more, reaching a shocking level as he stood, suppressing the starry firmament.
He had no time to finish off the North Desolate Evil Emperor. His left hand transformed into a Heaven-Shaking Palm, forcefully meeting the Divine Emperor's Son's Great Annihilation War Halberd.
His right hand gripped the dark golden great halberd, clashing with Chu Shenjun.
Above his head, the Chaos Great Cauldron appeared, descending with billions of strands of ancient Chaos Qi, exploding with overwhelming Chaos Light, suppressing the heavens, resisting Yu Wudi and Huang Yao.
In an instant, the attacks of the four Quasi-Monarch-level Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants were all hastily blocked by Ye Chen. Moreover, he didn't retreat a single step, standing like a pillar holding up heaven and earth, unshakable.
Such imposing might truly shook the heavens, causing the other Quasi-Monarchs who wanted to attack to feel their hearts tremble with awe.
Boom—
But at this moment, the severely wounded North Desolate Evil Emperor behind him attacked.
With a loud, hearty laugh, his flesh and blood regenerated. Moreover, the Faith Power he had collected over hundreds of thousands of years flew out and ignited, transforming into a three-thousand-li-long Heaven-Slashing Blade, which he grasped.
This three-thousand-li Heaven-Slashing Blade descended from the sky, sweeping with billowing, burning Faith Power, angrily chopping down.
It seemed as if this starry sky was about to be completely split in two.
Countless Flying Fire Dao Stars were cleaved apart, continuously exploding.
Pfft—
Blood light splattered, carrying billowing ancient Chaos Qi.
It was Ye Chen's blood. That three-thousand-li Heaven-Slashing Blade had breached the defense of his Chaos Saint Body, injuring him.
"Hahaha—"
The North Desolate Evil Emperor threw his head back and laughed uproariously, gripping the three-thousand-li Heaven-Slashing Blade. The billowing Faith Power was burning intensely, making the blade's power even greater, intending to completely split Ye Chen in two.
"Battle Saint King, no matter how strong you are, you will still die! Today, this Emperor will devour your Chaos Saint Body flesh and blood to achieve greatness!"
He licked some of the Chaos Saint Blood into his mouth, feeling it was the most wonderful taste in the world, far surpassing the supreme bloodlines of Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants by who knows how many times.
If he could successfully possess this Chaos Saint Body, he felt he could fully unleash the power of this Emperor's thought to its extreme, reaching a level not inferior to a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch. Then, he could sweep away any enemy.
"This is an opportunity! Join forces and kill Battle Saint King!"
The Divine Emperor's Son and the other three Quasi-Monarch-level Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants suddenly intensified their attacks. Various Monarch Rules appeared, dense and numerous, stacking up to well over a hundred. Combined, it was equivalent to a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch making a move.
At the same time, the five ancient Quasi-Monarchs from the primordial era also moved, beginning to approach.
However, the mysterious Silver Moon Divine King and a few others remained motionless.
The Lord of the Earth and Void Heaven Monarch did the same.
"Master!"
Henggu Quasi-Monarch charged over. Inside the Emperor's Hall, Yu Qing clenched her delicate fists, almost rushing forward, but in the end, she held absolute confidence in Ye Chen.
Clang—
Just as the North Desolate Evil Emperor was about to truly slash Ye Chen apart, he felt the three-thousand-li Heaven-Slashing Blade encounter immense resistance, unable to chop down any further.
It was the Saint Bones of the Chaos Saint Body. Each one was immortal and indestructible, flowing with Chaos Origin Light, creating a huge barrier for the three-thousand-li Heaven-Slashing Blade, preventing it from advancing further.
"What a strong physical body!" The Quasi-Monarchs present showed shocked expressions.
"The hardness of these Chaos Saint Bones probably surpasses even Quasi-Monarch battle weapons in indestructibility, approaching the immortal battle bodies of Ancient Sovereigns!"
Ye Chen turned his head to look at the North Desolate Evil Emperor and said indifferently, "Are you really an ancient Great Emperor? Is this all you've got?"
The North Desolate Evil Emperor flew into a rage, feeling insulted. But at this moment, Ye Chen turned and swept a kick across.
With a thunderous roar, the three-thousand-li Heaven-Slashing Blade was forcibly swept apart, transforming into countless flying blade fragments.
That foot swept across the starry sky, also sweeping away the North Desolate Evil Emperor. Half of his body exploded, a bloody, mangled mess, utterly wretched and pitiful.
With just one kick, he had severely wounded the North Desolate Evil Emperor!
But the North Desolate Evil Emperor snorted coldly. Light swept up all his flesh, blood, and bones as his entire person charged towards the location of the Emperor's Hall, clearly intending to escape.
"Trying to leave?"
Ye Chen gave a cold smile. Henggu Quasi-Monarch had long since charged towards the North Desolate Evil Emperor, his body boiling with numerous streams of Time Light.
Simultaneously, Ye Chen also unleashed a Chaos Great Palm Seal, breaking through the barrier of time and space, instantly appearing behind the North Desolate Evil Emperor and slamming down fiercely.
Boom—
The North Desolate Evil Emperor's figure exploded, his physical body forcibly blasted apart. However, he reassembled in the distant sky, though his aura had weakened many times over.
"Damn it!"
The North Desolate Evil Emperor roared. As a dignified ancient Great Emperor, even if his current form was merely an Emperor's thought, he shouldn't be in such a wretched state. But the fact was exactly that.
Battle Saint King was outrageously strong, leaving him exhausted in a true battle.
At the same time, Ye Chen looked at the four Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants, his voice cold and emotionless: "You disappoint me."
He clenched his palm, and the dark golden great halberd in his hand exploded, transforming into numerous Metal-element Monarch Rules.
Boom—
At this moment, the imposing might of the Chaos Quasi-Monarch erupted completely and comprehensively. Over one hundred and eighty Monarch Rules appeared, encircling his body, causing his aura to rise steadily.
"Over one hundred and eighty Monarch Rules!"
The Quasi-Monarchs all underwent drastic changes in expression.
"This is bad! Battle Saint King isn't just comparable to a Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch; he's even stronger than some Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs!"
A Quasi-Monarch from the ancient era wore an ugly expression.
