The void passage finally reached its end. At this moment, Ye Chen, gripping the Heavenly God Spear, charged through and thrust it into Scarlet Scale King's chest, causing his entire body to crack and blood to spurt.
Had Scarlet Scale King been defeated?
But that was not the case. Scarlet Scale King was also a generation's king; how could he be so easily grievously wounded? This was an exchange of injury for injury. The blood spear in his hand likewise stabbed toward Ye Chen, but it only pierced his shoulder and met immense resistance, unable to penetrate completely.
"What a powerful king's divine body, far stronger than this king's own divine body."
Even Scarlet Scale King couldn't help but marvel. Every king cultivated every aspect to the extreme, naturally including the divine body, which was also cultivated to an almost ultimate degree. Even ordinary Divine Transformation Dao weapons found it difficult to cause harm, a testament to its strength.
But everything before them indicated that Ye Chen's king's divine body was stronger than his. Even one as powerful as him, wielding the blood spear cultivated with his life and destined for the Human Sovereign path in the future, could only pierce halfway, failing to achieve complete success. This was further proof.
"When it comes to the strength of the fleshly treasure body, among kings, if I claim second place, no one dares claim first."
Ye Chen spoke, his eyes radiating astonishing confidence.
He possessed this confidence. Unless one surpassed the Demigod realm, no one below Divine Transformation could compare, at most only matching him.
The two kings each flew back, naturally pulling their respective weapons with them, stained with each other's kingly blood, dripping in the air as they stood suspended. Their kingly divine might surged and clashed, each sound like thunder cracking open, a breathtaking sight.
Outside the passage was a desolate mountain wilderness, devoid of grass, with continuous mountain ranges, empty and uninhabited, gloomy like a valley of the dead.
This was the region Chen Ruo had brought them to using void teleportation, having moved them at least twenty to thirty thousand li away, or even farther, making it difficult for the Demi-Saints of Scarlet God Valley to track them down immediately.
Chen Ruo naturally also appeared in this desolate mountain range. She stood gracefully on a barren mountain in the distance, her figure elegant and ethereal. Her light, clear voice rang out, "I void-teleported you fifty thousand li. Moreover, I have laid down void dao patterns here, distorting the void to form a self-contained world. External perception is basically unable to enter, and even a Demi-Saint would find it difficult to break through for a while. You can rest assured and slay this Scarlet Scale King."
Ye Chen's perception was extremely sharp; he could sense a faint, obscure fluctuation within this heaven and earth—the void fluctuation laid down by Chen Ruo, distorting the world and blocking external scrutiny.
"Miss Chen Ruo, thank you!" Ye Chen sincerely expressed his gratitude.
Chen Ruo waved her pink fist and giggled, "Just call me Chen Ruo from now on. And most importantly, just beat this scoundrel to death. This young lady hates it the most when a man dyes his hair such a flirtatious red. As that black-faced bad uncle says, this guy is too pretentious; he's definitely asking to be struck by lightning."
Even Ye Chen nearly tumbled from the air. Who exactly was this girl's black-faced bad uncle? He seemed quite extraordinary.
Scarlet Scale King's face darkened like water, killing intent spreading. This little girl's mouth was too deserving of a beating. But his expression turned grave because he also sensed the void barrier within heaven and earth. It would be difficult for the many experts of Scarlet God Valley to come to his rescue.
However, he was not afraid. He coldly stared at the other party, "Do you think this can kill this king? Simply wishful thinking. But it's just as well. A self-contained world is equivalent to forming a prison, trapping you and leaving you no way to escape. Here, this king will first kill you, turning you into a pile of kingly bones on this king's path to becoming the Human Sovereign."
Although injured, his momentum was like a rainbow, undiminished. This was a true kingly figure, terrifying and peerless, able to display unmatched combat power even after suffering severe injuries.
Boom—
And at this moment, an ear-splitting rumbling sound actually erupted from within Scarlet Scale King's body, astonishing and awe-inspiring, as if a terrifying ancient holy spirit lay dormant within, now awakening.
The void of this heaven and earth resonated, trembling. The myriad mountains and valleys shook. Scarlet Scale King's injuries were rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Moreover, one could vaguely see faint, blurry Order Divine Chains intertwining at the wound sites, repairing the injuries.
"Divine bloodline." Ye Chen's gaze sharpened. At this moment, he finally understood—it was a divine bloodline.
On the path of cultivation, when one's cultivation reached an extremely profound realm, not only would their mana become like a vast, surging sea, with every movement containing the power to shatter heaven and earth, but even their own blood would undergo an unprecedented transformation, becoming terrifying and powerful.
So-called Great Dao Blood was like this, containing fragments of the Great Dao, imbued with their Great Dao power.
When this Great Dao Blood advanced further, it condensed into bloodline power, passed down to descendants, allowing them to inherit their powerful bloodline. Not only were they innately stronger than ordinary people, but they could also awaken the fragments of Great Dao laws within. Once awakened, they could possess unfathomable might, like exotic beasts flowing with True Dragon bloodline.
Among various races, such existences also existed. Although not as powerful as the True Dragon, their bloodlines were still formidable, usually lying dormant within the blood. But once awakened, they could unleash supreme might, just like the Scarlet Scale King before them.
Moreover, the divine bloodline inherited by Scarlet Scale King was clearly even more extraordinary. His blood boiled, ear-splittingly loud. Fragments of Great Dao laws emerged, mysterious and profound Order Divine Chains intertwined. Vaguely, behind him, a terrifying exotic beast materialized.
It combined a dragon's head, deer antlers, lion eyes, tiger's back, bear's waist, snake scales, horse hooves, and ox tail into one body. Its entire form was scarlet red like blood, as if wisps of scarlet-gold divine flames leaped upon it, overflowing with a terrifying pressure—the majesty that loomed over all living beings, looking down upon Ye Chen from a superior position.
Ye Chen's expression shook. That was actually a Scarlet Scale Qilin, massive as a mountain range, radiating awe-inspiring pressure, as if an invincible Scarlet Qilin from ancient times had crossed time and space to arrive.
It was said that Scarlet God Valley's origins were extraordinary, not of the human race, but an immortal legacy left by a generation's Great Power of the demon race. Seeing it today, it was indeed so, and moreover, it was a supreme demon race Great Power like the Scarlet Scale Qilin.
That was an exotic Qilin beast flowing with relatively pure Qilin bloodline, possessing a Qilin bloodline that had reverted to its ancestral origins, renowned in ancient times. And Scarlet Scale King had clearly also inherited the Scarlet Qilin's bloodline power, and it was quite pure, as the Scarlet Qilin phantom had manifested.
At this moment, Scarlet Scale King's body grew layer upon layer of scarlet scales, covering his entire form, yet he remained in human shape, like a humanoid Qilin. That was the Qilin true body, a powerful manifestation of the awakened bloodline.
Gripping the blood spear, the aura emanating from his body was even stronger than before by a significant margin, terrifyingly astonishing, making one's heart palpitate.
He indifferently looked at Ye Chen, causing the ten directions to tremble!
