This dragon's breath contained Absolute Zero!
It was a force of Absolute Zero that harbored threads and strands of Divine King-level ice-cold Great Dao origin.
Naturally, it was countless times more terrifying than the Absolute Zero in the eyes of ordinary mortals.
Wherever the black, cloud-like dragon breath passed, not only were all surrounding mountains frozen into dust, but even the void itself was directly frozen, rendered immobile.
A demonic dragon's breath, and moreover, the most fearsome Great Power-level demonic dragon's breath.
Even an ordinary Great Power, if struck by this breath, would likely be frozen, even reduced to ashes.
The pitch-black, cloud-like demonic dragon's breath blotted out the sky, making it impossible to see the situation at the deepest part of Shenwang Valley.
However, everyone was certain that any intruder would undoubtedly die.
After all, the Ancient Desolate Dragon was an invincible Great Power who once dominated the world, and now, thirty thousand years later, it was even stronger.
Yet, the world could not see that at this very moment, the Ancient Desolate Dragon's golden dragon eyes were wide open, round and bulging, to the extent that they could be said to be filled with thick disbelief.
Because Ye Chen was completely unharmed, not even a thread of his clothing was damaged. He still stood firm in the heavens. That demonic dragon's breath, which even many Great Powers would not dare to touch lightly, could not harm Ye Chen in the slightest.
Ye Chen raised his head, looking at the dragon head as huge as a star. He seemed as tiny as an ant, but the Ancient Desolate Dragon clearly saw the mockery filling the former's eyes: "Is this... your strength?"
"Impossible! This is impossible! Even a fifth-level Great Power wouldn't dare to withstand my dragon's breath so easily without injury!" The Ancient Desolate Dragon roared, filled with thick disbelief and shock.
How could this be possible?
"Impossible?" Ye Chen sneered, then a Supreme and Peerless majesty slowly overflowed, towering above the entire Great World.
"A mere half-step Divine King dares to call itself invincible? Even that Ancient Divine King who suppressed you back then would never dare to be so arrogant before me."
"Very well, today I'll let you witness what true power is."
He merely extended a single palm.
Very simple, very natural, very ordinary.
Yet, the moment he struck, with a deafening boom, it seemed as if the entire Weiyang Great World let out a mournful cry. A Supreme and Peerless, majestic power was being manifested, terrifying beyond measure, causing the myriad Daos of heaven and earth to retreat in fear.
Silently, a giant hand spanning tens of thousands of li appeared in the heavens, covering the vast sky, like the Heaven's Hand.
Facing this Heaven's Hand, the Ancient Desolate Dragon trembled with fear. A terror, magnified ten thousand times compared to when it faced the Ancient Divine King all those years ago, was born within it.
It keenly sensed the terror of this Heaven's Hand. Beneath this Heaven's Hand, its heart pounded with fear. A sense of powerlessness it hadn't felt for tens of thousands of years was slowly seeping out from the deepest recesses of its heart!
Boom—
The Heaven's Hand slammed down fiercely, shattering the layers of mist and viciously slapping the Ancient Desolate Dragon, whose serpentine form stretched for ten thousand li across the sky, down from the heavens onto the earth.
A tremendous crash echoed as the entire Shenwang Valley completely exploded.
Mountains and ravines all collapsed, billowing dust soaring into the sky.
In the deepest part of Shenwang Valley, unseen from the outside, the thousand towering peaks that once stood there had all collapsed, completely flattened.
Streams of power terrifying to the extreme were continuously being derived, then transmitted throughout the entire domain of Shenwang Valley, affecting boundless territories, causing mountains and ravines to shake violently, even collapsing many.
Within the Shenwang Valley domain, countless cultivators and demonic beasts were thrown into panic and terror.
Especially many cultivators, their hearts trembled.
A Great Power-level battle was occurring in the core region of Shenwang Valley.
The outside world watched intently, trembling at the sight.
Shenwang Valley, on the vast land where majestic peaks once stood, was now completely flattened.
A palm print tens of thousands of li wide was imprinted deep into the earth for a full thousand li, clearly visible.
The Ancient Desolate Dragon, once high above looking down upon the mortal world, was now completely embedded in the earth, its fate unknown.
Between heaven and earth, only Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, like the master of the heavens, looking down upon the world.
A voice, indifferent and merciless, echoed forth: "Now, do you believe?"
In the earth, the Ancient Desolate Dragon was naturally not dead yet, but countless bones throughout its body were shattered. Its dragon scales, which even Great Power Dao weapons found difficult to harm, were cracked beyond count. A river of blood flowed, dyeing the entire earth red.
Even one of the hardest dragon horns on its head was broken off.
The Ancient Desolate Dragon's aura was feeble. In its weakened state, it could barely even lift its dragon head. Its golden dragon eyes looked up at that figure in the heavens, still as tiny as an ant, filled with infinite terror.
Only at this moment did it truly understand that this seemingly young man before it was not some human Great Power at all, but an existence beyond the Great Power realm.
An existence above the Ancient Divine King.
At the very least, the Ancient Divine King who suppressed it back then could not have achieved this, let alone now when its own power had increased greatly.
Yet this mysterious youth accomplished it with ease.
Especially since it sensed that the other party had held back, that all this was quite effortless, it knew just how terrifying the other's strength truly was.
"My lord, I believe. Please, my lord, spare my life."
The Ancient Desolate Dragon actively admitted defeat, its voice carrying thick weakness and unconcealable terror.
Facing such a peerlessly invincible existence, even if it dared to shout at an Ancient Divine King, it would not dare to resist.
Ye Chen glanced at it coldly and said, "Since that's the case, take me to the Doumen headquarters."
"This lowly one understands." The Ancient Desolate Dragon hurriedly replied. Then, its immense form shifted, finally transforming into a giant man two zhang tall, exceptionally burly and towering. Even in human form, it resembled a small mountain, its arms thicker than another person's two legs combined.
This was the human form of the Ancient Desolate Dragon.
It was still covered in blood, but compared to its dragon form, it was somewhat better.
Ye Chen swept a glance, said nothing, and with a flick of his hand, sent out a ray of life light. Instantly, all injuries of the Ancient Desolate Dragon were healed, including the Dao injuries within its body. This immediately caused the latter's heart to tremble with awe, revering him as a deity.
Such means, even an Ancient Divine King might not necessarily be able to accomplish.
The more it saw, the more it revered and feared Ye Chen.
The Ancient Desolate Dragon invited Ye Chen to the lowest part of Shenwang Valley's earth. Originally concealed by mountains and ravines, an ancient stone gate stood here, unseen from the outside. But now that everything was flattened, it was naturally clearly visible.
"My lord, this is the Ancient Gate leading to the Doumen headquarters," the Ancient Desolate Dragon said respectfully, simultaneously striking out with streams of light, immediately opening the Ancient Gate.
The two, one after the other, entered within the Ancient Gate.
The Ancient Gate slowly closed.
