The world fell silent!
The entire world was shaken!
This person was the Battle Saint King!
On the battlefield of the Tenth Emperor's Pass, the moment Ye Chen's voice rang out, the entire world instantly plunged into a deathly silence.
You could hear a pin drop!
Both armies stared in shock at the handsome, jade-like young man before them, even the Quasi-Monarchs were no exception.
Even the alien Sovereign who was continuously holding open the breach was the same.
All because the name Battle Saint King was thunderously famous, far too renowned.
Whether for the Sealed Boundary Universe or the Alien Ancient Universe, it held unparalleled, immense influence.
For the Sealed Boundary Universe, the Battle Saint King was the great hero who, in the past, had not hesitated to sacrifice himself to block the invasion of the alien Great Emperor into their universe.
Over the many years, that glorious feat had never been forgotten. On the contrary, as time passed and with the ongoing battles against the alien race in recent years, the world had come to understand even more just how righteous the Battle Saint King of that era had been. He had sacrificed himself for righteousness, facing the terrifying alien army, not hesitating to sacrifice himself to activate the holy remains left by Wuxiang Sovereign, blocking the invasion of the alien Seven Ancient Monarchs, closing the Emperor's Pass, and granting the Sealed Boundary Universe centuries of peace thereafter.
It could be said that without the Battle Saint King's self-sacrifice for righteousness back then, without those centuries of peace, perhaps they would not have been able to wait for Wuxiang Sovereign's return. The Sealed Boundary Universe would have completely fallen into the clutches of the Alien Ancient Universe. How could they have reclaimed the Emperor's Pass today and continued to battle the alien army there?
But for the Alien Ancient Universe, the Battle Saint King bore a great infamy, a notorious reputation that shook the entire Ancient Universe.
It was precisely because of him that in the Ten Heavens Realm, fifteen alien imperial clans were annihilated, along with numerous Emperor Sons and Daughters being almost completely wiped out. Even Ancient Monarchs could not escape, ultimately leaving only a few Emperor Sons and Ancient Monarchs who were rescued back by the alien Great Emperors.
The losses could be described as devastating.
Rumors said his combat power was peerless, sweeping through the younger generation. A great number of the alien race's Emperor Sons and Daughters had been suppressed or slain by him, and to this day, many Emperor Sons and Daughters remained missing, their fates unknown. He could even contend against the strongest Emperor Sons like Di Wentian.
It was originally thought he was still battling in the Ten Heavens Realm, competing for the "Supreme" immortal fate. No one expected he had actually returned to the Sealed Boundary Universe and appeared on the battlefield.
How had he returned?
This puzzled both sides. It was said that once one set foot on the Supreme Ancient Path or the Ten Heavens Realm, it was extremely difficult to return. Yet he had returned. What exactly did this signify?
"Battle Saint King, release our Ancient Universe's Emperor Sons and Daughters immediately!"
Among the alien army, there were many powerful figures from the imperial clans. Seeing Ye Chen's appearance now, they gnashed their teeth in hatred, demanding the release of the alien race's Emperor Sons and Daughters.
Ye Chen did not even glance at them. To this day, all the alien Emperor Sons and Daughters he had not killed back then were still suppressed within him.
With Ye Chen's strength, he could have killed them long ago, but he had not acted. It was only because these Emperor Sons and Daughters still served an important purpose.
"So you are the Battle Saint King."
Upon learning that Ye Chen was the Battle Saint King, a strange light flashed in Xian Tu's eyes. No wonder he had been able to block his dark sword radiance.
Immediately, a thick sense of competitive spirit surged in his heart.
He had long heard tales of how extraordinary the Battle Saint King was. He had not gone to the Ten Heavens Realm himself, so he had never truly met him, only heard some stories along the way.
Rumors said he was an invincible figure of the younger generation, one whom even the most powerful Emperor Sons like Di Wentian and the Six Paths Imperial Son would treat with grave seriousness upon encountering. Now that he had finally met him, as one of the pinnacle powerhouses of the younger generation in the Alien Ancient Universe, Xian Tu naturally did not wish to let this opportunity pass.
One must know that he was no ordinary figure. He possessed both the bloodline of an alien imperial clan and the bloodline of a supreme immortal flowing within him. He was, so to speak, a fusion of two great bloodlines, resulting in an exceptionally powerful new lineage.
Although it might not quite match that of a true Supreme One's descendant, the power of his bloodline was not far off.
Now, having stepped into the Quasi-Monarch realm, he had long since perfectly manifested both bloodlines, allowing him to stand within the Quasi-Monarch realm, hailed as one of its elite. His hope of stepping into the Ancient Monarch realm in the future was extremely high. He even had the potential to become an Ancient Emperor Supreme One. By then, elevating both bloodlines to their ultimate limits, he might have a certain hope of transcending, becoming a supreme colossus comparable to the strongest Emperors or Immortal Kings.
Now, upon meeting the Battle Saint King, Xian Tu immediately felt a surge of intense battle intent. He declared, "Battle Saint King, today I wish to see if you are truly as supremely invincible as the legends say. Do you dare to fight me?"
Looking at Xian Tu, Ye Chen suddenly recalled Mohe Hengwang from the past, who also possessed the imperial clan bloodline power of two great imperial clans. However, the Xian Tu before him was countless times more powerful than Mohe Hengwang back then. Moreover, one of his bloodlines was an immortal Dao bloodline, making it even more special, essentially a fusion of the Immortal Dao and the Emperor's Dao.
Once fused, such a bloodline was destined to be far more astonishing.
Just from the fact that Xian Tu had become a late-stage Quasi-Monarch, one could tell he was comparable to the likes of Shen Dizi, Yu Wudi, Chu Shenjun, Huang Yao, Wu Dao, the Battle Saint, and others among the strongest of the younger generation.
Of course, Xian Tu's actual cultivation age far exceeded that of the Emperor Sons and Daughters and immortal Dao descendants. Otherwise, at the same age, aside from a select few, there were not many who could be mentioned in the same breath as the Emperor Sons and Daughters and immortal Dao descendants.
Yet Ye Chen merely smiled. "Fight?"
"Battle Saint King, today I will see if you truly possess such astonishing capabilities." Xian Tu, with both Emperor blood and immortal blood flowing within him, possessed an incomparably noble status. Wherever he went, he was a highly esteemed figure, placed upon a pedestal. The imperial clans placed great hopes upon him, believing this peerless talent had the potential to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Emperor Sons and Daughters and immortal Dao descendants in the future. Now, he gripped the dark divine feather.
*Hum—*
At this moment, the dark sword radiance pinched between Ye Chen's two fingers suddenly trembled violently. Simultaneously, the nine dark sword radiances that had pierced Gai Guhua all *shua shua shua* left his body, shooting towards Ye Chen.
"Be careful!" Gai Guhua hurriedly warned.
*Boom boom boom boom boom boom—*
But it was too late. All ten terrifying dark sword radiances struck Ye Chen. A destructive dark aura rippled out, enough to make even a Quasi-Monarch tremble in fear. They were absolutely capable of slaying a Quasi-Monarch.
Yet as the dark mist slowly dissipated, Ye Chen's figure reappeared on the ground, completely unscathed, without even the slightest injury on his body, astonishing everyone.
Moreover, Gai Guhua beside him was also unharmed, having been protected.
Ye Chen's gaze swept towards Xian Tu, his brow slightly raised. "Is this your strength?"
He shook his head. "Nothing more than this!"
His words were calm, yet everyone could hear the peerless, domineering aura contained within them. A peerless strike capable of slaying a Quasi-Monarch had left Ye Chen completely unharmed. What kind of strength was required to accomplish such a feat?
