Boom—
Boundless blue light and chaotic radiance rampantly bloomed.
Blue Cloud Monarch's gaze was icy cold, his combat power soaring to its utmost limit as he withstood Ye Chen's offensive.
At the same time, a terrifying power comparable to over twenty thousand Monarch Rules erupted wildly, aiming to crush everything and utterly annihilate the Battle Saint King at this moment.
Even if his Form and Spirit defied the heavens, he was ultimately only a Quasi-Monarch; he couldn't possibly be stronger than an Ancient Monarch.
Boom—
Sure enough, Ye Chen's figure rapidly retreated, crashing into the sea of tribulation light and thunder in the blink of an eye. Wherever he passed, it was like a ray of light, forcibly splitting the boundless sea of tribulation light and thunder in two, with infinite heavenly tribulation annihilating into dust.
Finally, Ye Chen's figure came to a stop, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Blue Cloud Monarch's expression darkened. He hadn't expected that even after exerting nearly his full strength, he had only managed to inflict this level of injury on the Battle Saint King.
This youth truly was heaven-defyingly extraordinary, actually comparable to a Second Heaven Monarch. Even more terrifying was the dreadfulness of his Form and Spirit; both his physical body and divine soul were excessively fearsome, even surpassing his own as a Third Heaven Monarch.
To be this terrifying as merely a Quasi-Monarch was unimaginable. Once he achieved Ancient Monarch, how heaven-defyingly dreadful would he become?
Once he successfully weathered the tribulation, he would inevitably receive infinite heavenly endowments, experiencing a massive increase in power.
This youth must be strangled in the cradle at all costs; he absolutely must not be allowed to truly reach full maturity.
At the same time, from over a million miles away, Ye Chen slowly raised his head, looking distantly at Blue Cloud Monarch. He wiped away the trace of blood at his mouth and said, "You're called Blue Cloud Monarch, right? I have to admit, you are indeed very powerful. The strength of a Third Heaven Monarch is somewhat beyond expectations, though still within them."
Blue Cloud Monarch sneered, "Are you still putting on a brave face at this point?"
Swish—
His figure moved like lightning, crossing the million-mile distance in an instant to appear before Ye Chen. The Ice God Hall in his hand suddenly enlarged countless times, descending like an imperial palace with unparalleled Monarch Heavenly Might, shattering the Star Sky as it blasted toward Ye Chen.
Ye Chen lifted his head, a brilliant light blooming in his eyes as he coldly stated, "Unfortunately, it's still just like this."
His internal Primordial Small Universe trembled, and a vast, mighty cosmic power instantly surged forth, filling his limbs and bones in a flash.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Ye Chen's aura abruptly doubled.
Blue Cloud Monarch's eyes widened in disbelief.
Boom—
At this moment, Ye Chen threw a punch, a power comparable to twenty-one thousand seven hundred Monarch Rules violently erupting, colliding with the Ice God Hall.
Boom rumble rumble—
The Ice God Hall, carrying its overwhelming momentum, was forcibly halted, unable to descend even a fraction further.
Boom—
Simultaneously, Ye Chen's other fist shot out, also carrying a majestic force as it punched toward the heavens.
The Ice God Hall was completely sent flying, soaring back into the sky. Its originally brilliant, sun-like radiance abruptly dimmed, and even fine cracks appeared on its surface.
Blue Cloud Monarch's figure was sent flying backward. Feeling the tiger's mouth of his hand split open, splattering with strands of blood, he stared at Ye Chen in horror.
How had the Battle Saint King suddenly become so much stronger?
At this moment, the intensity and dreadfulness of the aura blooming from Ye Chen's entire body were like that of a Nine Heavens Emperor, surpassing his previous state by an immeasurable degree.
The power casually emanating from him was enough to shatter and annihilate the heavens themselves.
Boom—
Ye Chen continued his assault, blasting forth with an annihilating divine ability that struck across the Star Sky.
Blood light bloomed.
Without the Ice God Hall, Blue Cloud Monarch's power greatly diminished. He coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, nearly on the verge of being shattered and blown apart.
It must be said that the current Ye Chen was far too domineering and difficult to match; Blue Cloud Monarch was simply no match for him.
Boom—
Another peerless divine ability. Ye Chen seemed to hold the sun, moon, and stars in his hands as a Chaos Light Sword appeared, slashing horizontally across heaven and earth, forcibly cutting Blue Cloud Monarch in half at the waist.
Blue Cloud Monarch's bisected body rapidly recovered and merged, though his aura had noticeably weakened.
At the same time, he summoned the Ice God Hall back to him. Combined, his aura reached twenty-one thousand Monarch Rules, its intensity not lagging far behind Ye Chen's.
"Kill!"
Blue Cloud Monarch, truly enraged by the fight, wielded the Ice God Hall and forcefully blasted toward Ye Chen.
Ye Chen showed no fear, employing similar means to deal with Blue Cloud Monarch.
Here, they were evenly matched, neither falling into a disadvantage.
However, Ye Chen fought until his entire body's blood energy boiled over completely. Blood energy shot skyward like pillars of light as he threw punch after punch, forcefully clashing with the Ice God Hall, with boundless radiance blooming.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred exchanges had passed, yet neither could gain the upper hand.
However, Ye Chen held a slight, implicit advantage because his Form and Spirit power was stronger.
Both his Chaos Saint Body and Chaos Saint Soul far surpassed those of ordinary Ancient Monarchs, leaving Blue Cloud Monarch with no opening to exploit.
Similarly, Blue Cloud Monarch grew more and more astonished the longer they fought, because the Battle Saint King truly possessed fearsome combat power not inferior to a Third Heaven Monarch, even surpassing ordinary Third Heaven Monarchs by a margin—truly heaven-defying.
"Alright, it's about time to end this."
Hum—
The Star Sky split open. From within the sea of tribulation light and thunder, a massive Chaos Cauldron shot out, carrying billions of layers of ancient Chaos Qi as it descended from the heavens. Ye Chen single-handedly raised the cauldron aloft before blasting it forward.
"Not good!"
Blue Cloud Monarch sensed a terrifying aura of danger emerging. He immediately pushed the Ice God Hall forward to collide with it.
Boom—
The Ice God Hall was struck until its light dimmed and it was sent flying back, heavily crashing into Blue Cloud Monarch himself.
Blue Cloud Monarch felt as if struck by lightning, his entire body seeming on the verge of exploding as he suffered heavy injuries.
Large amounts of blue Monarch Dao Blood flew from Blue Cloud Monarch's body.
This single blow had wounded both his Form and Spirit.
A terrifying, peerless strike!
He looked at Ye Chen with a trace of terror, as if he hadn't expected the Battle Saint King to still be hiding such a fearsome peerless battle weapon.
Ye Chen looked down upon Blue Cloud Monarch from above, full of mockery. "A Third Heaven Monarch is just like this."
Boom—
He stepped upon the cauldron, arriving like a Heavenly Emperor amidst infinite clouds and mist, forcefully blasting forward.
After a dreadful, earth-shattering roar, everything turned to dust. Blue Cloud Monarch was also forcibly blasted apart, his body shattered to pieces.
In the subsequent great battle, Ye Chen employed his absolute combat power. Although he used the Chaos Cauldron, it still took a full hour and over three hundred rounds of intense fighting before he truly slew Blue Cloud Monarch and annihilated his true spirit.
After all, the gap between Ye Chen and Blue Cloud Monarch was only equivalent to six or seven thousand Monarch Rules, not too vast.
Defeating him was easy, but killing him was relatively much more difficult.
If not for Blue Cloud Monarch's initial underestimation, it would have been even less possible to kill him this easily.
