"Hiss—"
The world fell silent, with only the sound of sharp intakes of cold breath audible enough to hear a pin drop.
Three hundred Monarch Rules!
A full three hundred Monarch Rules!
Watching the three hundred Monarch Rules swirling around Ye Chen's body, everyone was dumbstruck.
This number of Monarch Rules far exceeded all understanding.
"My heavens, is this real? Three hundred Monarch Rules!"
"An ordinary Quasi-Monarch only masters a few Monarch Rules. A Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch only masters about a hundred Monarch Rules. Even someone as powerful as the Second Hall Master of Earth Hall has mastered less than two hundred Monarch Rules. How could the Battle Saint King possibly have mastered as many as three hundred?"
"Three hundred Monarch Rules! The Battle Saint King is truly defying heaven!"
...
The three hundred Monarch Rules caused shock among everyone present, as if they were witnessing the most unbelievable thing.
An ordinary Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch only mastered about a hundred. Three hundred Monarch Rules were beyond comprehension.
Only a few truly knew that above the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, there existed the level of Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
Although the number of Monarch Rules possessed by the Battle Saint King still couldn't compare to a true Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch, it was absolutely close, far surpassing an ordinary Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch.
The Second Hall Master and Third Hall Master of Earth Hall also revealed deep shock.
The three Ancient Path Overlords widened their eyes, unable to maintain their usual composure any longer at this moment.
Three hundred Monarch Rules—even they were far from capable of achieving this.
It must be known that given their age, reaching the late-stage Quasi-Monarch realm was already remarkable, and they had mastered several dozen Monarch Rules.
But compared to the Battle Saint King before them, who was about the same age or perhaps even younger, there was a gap as vast as the difference between clouds and mud.
The difference in the number of Monarch Rules they each mastered was severalfold, even tenfold.
This was something they could never have imagined.
A difference of severalfold or tenfold in the number of Monarch Rules often resulted in a similarly vast gap of severalfold or tenfold in their combat strength.
In the realm of Quasi-Monarchs, the strength of one's power was essentially determined by the number of Monarch Rules mastered.
The Battle Saint King had mastered a full three hundred Monarch Rules, placing him far above them. In terms of strength, he was also completely superior.
At this moment, they truly felt a sense of genuine despair.
Facing such a powerful Battle Saint King, how could they possibly resist?
Chaos light surged within Ye Chen's eyes as he looked at the Second Hall Master of Earth Hall, speaking with indifference and disdain, "With your measly less than two hundred Monarch Rules, you dare to tell me to submit without a fight? Do you really think you're a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch?"
"Now I'll give you a chance: submit without a fight. Otherwise, if I take action myself, you'll suffer a great deal of pain!"
He returned the same words to the Second Hall Master of Earth Hall.
Returning the favor in kind!
Instant karma!
The Second Hall Master of Earth Hall naturally had no intention of submitting. His expression turned ugly as he glanced at the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall and transmitted a voice message, "Third Brother, let's join forces and attack together. Fighting him alone is impossible."
The number of Monarch Rules represented an individual's strength. The two Hall Masters of the Soul-Restraining Hall naturally knew this. Exchanging a glance, they attacked simultaneously, combining their strength to deal with Ye Chen.
Whoosh—
In a flash, countless Soul-Devouring Chains shot forward, accompanied by a deluge of black mist that surged over as if the gates of hell had opened, releasing countless vengeful spirits.
The two Earth Hall Masters attacked together, targeting Ye Chen simultaneously.
"Void!"
Ye Chen uttered softly. The Chaos Void Style manifested as he spoke, a profound void black hole appearing, carrying absolute void power that surrounded him, reducing all attacks to nothingness.
At the same time, Ye Chen displayed the absolute power of a Chaos Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch. Wielding the Chaos Cauldron, he moved chaos at will, instantly unleashing dozens of terrifying divine abilities, all derived from chaos, and blasted them toward the two Soul-Restraining Hall Masters.
Such methods could be described as transcendent and saintly.
At Ye Chen's level, executing any divine ability or spell was a matter of pure will.
Simultaneously, Ye Chen moved. The Kunpeng Great Universe Technique activated, resembling the movement of a primal Chaos Kunpeng. Yin and Yang forces swirled around him, transforming into the Taiji Diagram of Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang. A flash of extreme light, and he appeared directly before the two Hall Masters. Such extreme speed left them horrified.
His left hand executed the Heaven-Shaking Palm, his right hand the Heaven-Severing Finger. Above his head appeared the Heaven-Suppressing Seal, while from between his brows surged a terrifying divine soul power that condensed into the Heaven-Withering Great Halberd. From his five viscera burst forth the Five Elemental Extreme Lights of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. His left eye manifested life, his right eye death...
In a brief instant, as Ye Chen closed in, he unleashed numerous extremely fearsome offensive divine abilities.
Blood light splattered—it came from the two Soul-Restraining Hall Masters, caught completely off guard.
By now, Ye Chen's combat experience was immensely rich. He directly used his full power without reservation, elevating everything to its peak. The two Hall Masters were no match for him.
In their first exchange, numerous bloody holes appeared on their bodies. Blood continuously sprayed, revealing white bones. They suffered terrible wounds.
At the same time, the Chaos Cauldron descended from the sky, containing Ye Chen's absolute essence, energy, and spirit. Myriad realms floated around it, Yin and Yang evolved, and the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth cycled. Carrying the Chaos Universe Style, it resembled a chaos universe descending from the heavens, directly assaulting the Second Hall Master of Earth Hall.
He did not attack lightly, but when he did, it was the most fearsome assault.
Boom—
The Second Hall Master of Earth Hall raised his battle weapon to block, but with a deafening crash, the weapon shattered and flew from his grasp. The Chaos Cauldron pressed down on his body, causing it to crack and nearly shatter into pieces. Covered in blood, he plummeted from the sky to the ground.
The Second Hall Master of Earth Hall was utterly defeated!
On the other side, Ye Chen himself arrived before the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall. He combined what would normally be thousands of moves into one, his essence, energy, and spirit nearly burning as his combat power instantly rose to an entirely new level.
Thud—
That palm, containing absolute power, directly pierced into the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall's skull, reaching into his Niwan Palace, grabbing his Quasi-Monarch soul and yanking it out.
"Ah!" The Quasi-Monarch soul of the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall let out a piercing scream, completely bound by chaos. Even a powerful Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch like him was helpless to resist.
The chaos light also contained terrifying chaos dao flames, possessing the dreadful power to attack the divine soul. The Quasi-Monarch soul of the Third Hall Master of Earth Hall began to burn, an indescribable agony—countless times greater than physical pain—spreading from his divine soul, forcing him to howl uncontrollably.
In their first exchange, the Second and Third Hall Masters of Earth Hall were successively defeated, with the Third Hall Master's divine soul even extracted.
The world was shaken!
The Battle Saint King's combat power was peerless!
