Blood energy surged and churned like an endless, boundless ocean, flooding heaven and earth. It was as if a hundred thousand volcanoes were erupting simultaneously, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Within this immeasurable blood energy, a figure bathed in its midst. His thick black hair danced wildly in the wind, his sword-like brows and starry eyes sharp, his robes flapping, exuding an unparalleled demeanor.
"Such formidable blood energy, unprecedented! Even many Divine Transformation experts could not possess it. It might even rival the supreme experts of the Saint Treasury Realm."
Everyone present in this world paled with shock. This blood energy was like a boundless sea of blood, flooding all directions, something never seen before, astonishing all who witnessed it.
Even the Scarlet Scale King changed color. The sheer intensity of this blood energy surpassed even his own, too vast and powerful.
The terrifying blood energy transformed into a vast ocean. Ye Chen bathed within it, and from the crown of his head, a crimson, diamond-like pillar of blood energy shot up. It resembled a great dragon, claws bared, plunging into the nine layers of clouds above, releasing a fearsome pressure. It was as if a sovereign was looking down upon the world, causing everyone present to feel a terrifying pressure suppressing them, making them tremble uncontrollably.
This was the first time Ye Chen had actively released his own blood energy since entering the myriad realms. After his Human Yuan Golden Body reached Great Perfection and underwent Extreme Sublimation, his blood energy had become far more powerful than that of ordinary Divine Transformation Realm experts.
Blood energy rumbled, peerless in the world!
Ye Chen bathed in the boundless blood energy, like a war god emerging into the world. In his hand was the Heavenly God Spear, which had fully revived under the infusion of his divine power, blooming with blazing divine radiance of the Great Dao. Strands of Dao marks intertwined, and bolts of lightning flickered, as if a monarch was surveying his domain.
His blood energy became a vast ocean, more like a rolling sea of fire. The ultimate, supremely potent blood energy burned, directly crashing into the Scarlet Scale King's scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Countless corpses shattered instantly, turning to dust, leaving nothing behind.
That sea of blood evaporated, utterly unable to withstand Ye Chen.
The Scarlet Scale King's expression changed drastically. He never expected his scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood to be shattered so easily by his opponent. This was one of his trump cards, something he had planned to use against other kings in the future. He hadn't anticipated it being broken now.
But this was solely because Ye Chen's blood energy was ultimate and supremely potent. His body was like a furnace, incinerating all things yin and evil. How could a sinister object like the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood possibly withstand it?
"You cannot escape."
Ye Chen, holding the Heavenly God Spear, his expression cold and ruthless, stepped forward, taking the initiative to attack and subdue the Scarlet Scale King.
Ten thousand layers of lightning crashed down in an instant, annihilating everything, controlled by Ye Chen and directed at the Scarlet Scale King.
But the Scarlet Scale King snorted coldly. "You think you can kill me with just these methods? That's far too wishful thinking."
Boom—
Powerful thunderous roars emanated from within the Scarlet Scale King's body, deafening to the ears. It was his bloodline power. His potent blood roared like a flood through his meridians, deafening, causing the void to tremble.
For a fleeting moment, the onlookers seemed to see a massive scarlet-armored Qilin manifesting on the Scarlet Scale King's body, proudly overlooking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, unrivaled, as if heaven and earth would crumble.
"This is..."
However, the phantom only appeared for an instant. But undoubtedly, the Scarlet Scale King's power suddenly increased manyfold. He brandished his blood spear to fight Ye Chen, shattering the heavens and earth.
Boom—
The two Young Kings clashed. In an instant, dozens, even hundreds, of exchanges collided. Dazzling divine splendor flashed, strands of Dao marks overflowed, falling upon the bandit horde, easily slaughtering bandits one after another, startling them into retreat.
Such a scene was rare even after the opening of the current Human Sovereign competition. Because kings were born only one or two per several great domains. Such individuals were exceedingly rare, possessing transcendent strength and being extremely young. Under normal circumstances, without reaching the corresponding realm, such a great battle would be impossible.
This also made battles between kings very rare, especially life-and-death battles like this one.
Boom—
Heaven and earth exploded with thunderous roars, lightning flashed. Both had unleashed their kingly combat power, with terrifying shockwaves exploding in layer upon layer.
The onlookers were dazzled. Clearly, these were just two members of the younger generation, not even a full sixty years old—excessively young. Yet their strength was terrifyingly excessive. Even ordinary Divine Transformation experts would only face annihilation if they stepped forward.
Was this what a true Young King was like?
Indeed, astonishingly powerful. They admitted to themselves that at this age and realm, they were far inferior.
Boom—
Another collision, but this time it was the Scarlet Scale King who was forced back. He tried to exchange a hard blow with Ye Chen. The result was obvious: his fist split open, blood flowed freely, white bone exposed. He was injured in this domain by Ye Chen, kingly blood flowing, shimmering with divine radiance.
Naturally, this scene also caused many experts from the Scarlet God Valley to change color. They hadn't expected their young master, the Scarlet Scale King, to be wounded. They wanted to rush forward to help, but the Scarlet Scale King stopped them. Instead, he looked at Ye Chen, unable to hold back his admiration. "Your treasure body is truly extraordinary, actually capable of injuring me. This is the first time I've been wounded by a young expert of the same generation. Even if you are a king, this is worthy of pride."
He was a king of his generation. Since his debut, he had swept all before him. Aside from the few other Young Kings he had rarely met, no one of his generation had ever been able to injure him because he was too powerful, always sweeping through, unmatched.
This time, he was actually wounded, the first time in his life.
But Ye Chen's expression remained cold and indifferent. In this domain, if not the number one in the Myriad Domains, he was definitely among the top few. Even kings could not hope to overpower him in terms of physical treasure body. This was his greatest confidence.
It wasn't just the Human Yuan Body Art, but also the fusion of the thirty-six Dao diagrams of the Tyrant Heaven Refining Saint Art, undergoing Extreme Sublimation to forge a powerful battle body, even stronger than the divine bodies of Divine Transformation experts.
He didn't take it to heart at all, saying indifferently, "Is injuring you such a great feat? Do you truly think kings are invincible under heaven? Don't forget, today I intend to kill you."
Boom—
Ye Chen attacked, causing heaven and earth to tremble!
"Brat, don't even think of attacking our clan's king!"
At this moment, the numerous experts of the Scarlet God Valley could no longer hold back. They blasted away the many bandits surrounding them, then launched numerous attacks at Ye Chen.
However, the Scarlet Scale King did not stop them this time. On the contrary, he joined the attacks, aiming to slay Ye Chen.
"Aren't you afraid of damaging a king's dignity by doing this?" Ye Chen said.
"The victor is king, the vanquished bandit," the Scarlet Scale King said coldly. Numerous attacks fell, but Ye Chen whooshed aside, avoiding them, and transmitted via voice transmission, "Lady Chenruo, are you ready?"
"Ready at any moment," a light, ethereal voice replied.
"Good!"
Ye Chen swung his divine fists, attacking the Scarlet Scale King. Upon reaching him, they engaged in combat. The latter sneered, and the Scarlet God Valley experts swarmed to attack. But at this moment, Ye Chen revealed a faint, cold smile. "Transfer!"
Whoosh—
The two vanished in an instant!
