"Good!"
Knowing Ye Chen's strength, the other Quasi-Monarchs had no objections. Only Xu Chengzi frowned, harboring doubts, but still followed the others to intercept the thousands upon thousands of ghostly shadows.
"Creatures of resentment, not tolerated by heaven and earth, dare to show themselves? Seeking death!"
Ye Chen coldly snorted as he made his move.
Boom—
Utmost Yang, utmost hardness. He executed the Sun Seal, giving rise to a glorious heavenly sun that blazed across billions of zhang.
The great sun was peerless, hanging suspended in the sky, crimson flames billowing, illuminating mountains and rivers for millions of miles.
Visibly, the originally gloomy and gray Mysterious Ancient Path, upon the appearance of this Great Dao heavenly sun, immediately saw infinite black mist being incinerated and dissolved.
The dark Mysterious Ancient Path began to gradually clear up.
The Yin-cold aura also receded along with it.
This world-shaking method made the Quasi-Monarchs look at him with newfound respect.
At the very least, even Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs like Yan Shen and Gu Liu couldn't achieve this.
The Ghost Shadow Monarch roared, sensing a tremendous suppression. An even more immeasurable amount of resentful Yin mist immediately surged forth, blotting out the sky and sun.
It had no choice, for the moment that glorious great sun appeared, the suppression on the other ghostly shadows was immense. Some ghostly shadows at the Saint level were even directly vaporized into nothingness.
Boom—
At the same time, a majestic pillar of chaotic light erupted from the crown of Ye Chen's head, connecting with the Great Dao sun in the sky.
The aura around his body began to rapidly surge, climbing higher and higher.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
At this point, he no longer held back, directly revealing his cultivation at the Eternal Quasi-Monarch level.
The Quasi-Monarchs were shocked, for they clearly sensed that in just a short time, Ye Chen's aura had surpassed that of the two Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs, Yan Shen and Gu Liu. Moreover, it still hadn't stopped. As time passed, it continued to surge rapidly, reaching an entirely new height.
Rumble—
Finally, Ye Chen's aura stopped surging. Yet, at this moment, chaotic ancient energy permeated his entire being. A world-shaking chaotic pressure wantonly spread out, as if an ancient emperor had awakened.
The void could no longer withstand the presence of his pressure, completely shattering.
Shattered vacuum!
His might was such that heaven and earth could not contain it!
His strength was such that the world could hardly bear it!
Beside him, the Quasi-Monarchs who had originally surrounded him all involuntarily retreated under this world-shaking pressure, each one trembling with fear, looking upon Ye Chen with awe as if he were an invincible supreme emperor of the Nine Heavens.
Especially the group of Quasi-Monarchs led by Xu Chengzi, who originally hadn't believed in Ye Chen's strength. But now, their eyes were wide with disbelief.
For they clearly sensed that the aura Ye Chen currently displayed was in no way inferior to that of Han Zhen and the other Ancient Monarchs. In some respects, it even seemed far more powerful.
"This—"
They found it hard to believe.
The rumors were true. The Battle Saint King's strength was indeed not inferior to that of an Ancient Monarch. Even the legend of him fighting five Ancient Monarchs alone was likely true.
What they didn't know was that although Ye Chen had revealed his Eternal Quasi-Monarch cultivation, it still wasn't his full power.
He looked at the Ghost Shadow Monarch in the distant sky, which also wore a human-like expression of shock, and grinned: "I just emerged from seclusion not long ago. Perfect timing. I can use you to see just how strong my current power is."
Boom—
Ye Chen suddenly moved.
Wherever he passed, heaven, earth, and void could not withstand him, all completely shattered into nothingness.
In almost less than the blink of an eye, Ye Chen arrived before the Ghost Shadow Monarch. His hand grabbed out, directly transforming into an indestructible heavenly stele inscribed with countless Great Dao runes, as if recording the myriad Daos of all heavens. It erupted with boundless chaotic light, forcefully smashing down.
Boom—
The entire Mysterious Ancient Path seemed about to be smashed apart. Infinite black mist was incinerated and vaporized into nothingness. The Ghost Shadow Monarch let out an angry roar, also swinging its terrifying giant claw to collide with the attack.
The ancient path shook violently, countless massive chasms and abysses appearing. The void shattered layer upon layer.
The Quasi-Monarchs each enveloped themselves in Quasi-Monarch light, resisting these shockwaves.
But they didn't leave immediately. Instead, they watched this battle, also wanting to know the outcome between the mighty Battle Saint King and the Ghost Shadow Monarch, whose strength was not inferior to an Ancient Monarch.
At the same time, they charged forward to attack the thousands upon thousands of layered ghostly shadows.
However, that single collision had already caused many ghostly shadows to directly turn to nothingness.
Collisions at that level were not something those ghostly shadows, which were merely at the Saint or Heavenly King level, could withstand.
"Interesting!"
Ye Chen chuckled lightly. He hadn't expected the Ghost Shadow Monarch to block this strike of his, but it was only equivalent to about six thousand Monarch Rules.
Clearly, this Ghost Shadow Monarch was definitely at the First Heavenly Layer Sovereign level, perhaps even stronger.
The Ghost Shadow Monarch roared once more and attacked again. Infinite black mist billowed, giving rise to endless terrifying ghostly shadow phenomena, as if the eighteen layers of hell had opened.
Terrifying power swept over like a tidal wave.
In the distant sky, all the Quasi-Monarchs changed expression, for that strike would absolutely reduce anyone it landed on to dust.
This was not something a Quasi-Monarch could block, not even a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch.
Boom—
Ye Chen's aura surged once more. He threw a punch with power rivaling eight thousand Monarch Rules.
Like a azure dragon emerging from the sea, it shattered all directions.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The terrifying Ancient Monarch-level collision disintegrated countless thousands of miles of the ancient path.
The blood-stained Mysterious Ancient Path could not withstand such intense Ancient Monarch-level collisions.
Hum—
At this moment, a vast aura suddenly bloomed forth, swallowing all the destructive energy and halting the collapse of the ancient path.
"This place is not simple!"
The Quasi-Monarchs naturally all sensed this vast aura, which was in no way inferior to Ye Chen and the Ghost Shadow Monarch, perhaps even stronger. But its origin was mysterious, coming from deep within the ancient path.
They even suspected that the world's origin had not completely perished and was stabilizing things.
Ye Chen naturally noticed it too. He glanced towards the depths of the ancient path, but unfortunately, infinite resentful Yin mist billowed, obscuring everything, making it impossible to see clearly.
"It's time to end this."
After exchanging over a hundred moves, Ye Chen felt it was time. He had also almost fully gauged the Ghost Shadow Monarch's strength, roughly at the level of nine thousand Monarch Rules, approaching the Second Heavenly Layer Sovereign.
To ordinary Quasi-Monarchs, even Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarchs would only be able to flee in disarray.
Unfortunately, he was the Battle Saint King.
Boom—
He unleashed his full combat power. Moreover, he summoned the Chaos Great Cauldron. Combined, a world-shaking combat power equivalent to a full seventeen thousand Monarch Rules was displayed without reserve, blasting onto the Ghost Shadow Monarch, who was caught off guard.
Rumble—
The Ghost Shadow Monarch's sky-blotting, sun-obscuring Yin mist demonic body exploded. Demonic light surged, inundating all directions and destroying vast stretches of the ancient path.
Even the thousands upon thousands of surrounding ghostly shadows were caught in the crossfire, similarly reduced to ashes.
