"You are powerful. Among the younger generation, you are the first to force me to this step. However, having witnessed all this, you are destined to perish, body and spirit extinguished. Even if you are a King, it is so; reality cannot be changed."
The Scarlet Scale King spoke coldly. He strode towards Ye Chen. With each step, mountains crumbled in all directions. He swept his gaze over Ye Chen like a sovereign overlooking the world, then pressed down to suppress and kill!
He had revived the Qilin bloodline within his body. It was as if a Great Power of the demon race from ancient times, the Scarlet Qilin, had traversed time and space to arrive. His demonic might shook the heavens; this desolate mountainous region seemed unable to bear it and was on the verge of exploding.
The tip of that blood spear transformed into a Qilin head, roaring and bellowing, its divine might shaking the sky. The clouds in the firmament were scattered.
He made his move. The moment he struck, it was earth-shattering and incomparably terrifying.
This was undoubtedly the embodiment of a King's strongest strike. Even a formidable expert at the fifth level of Divine Transformation would inevitably be blasted apart by this spear, suffering complete annihilation of both body and spirit.
Even Ye Chen's expression changed slightly. That was the Qilin True Body, the ultimate manifestation after the revival of divine bloodline, far more powerful than usual.
Only a descendant with sufficiently dense and pure bloodline could unleash this. Indeed, the Scarlet Scale King, a contemporary Young King, was extraordinary.
He dared not be the slightest bit careless. He brandished the fully revived Heavenly God Spear to block, while streaks of lightning power also flashed across the sky.
Boom— Crack—
Two completely different sounds rang out simultaneously. The shockwave from their collision directly shattered seven or eight nearby desolate mountains. The earth cracked, rumbling with long echoes.
During this process, Ye Chen was actually at a disadvantage, forced back three steps in succession. With each step, ripples spread under his feet, shaking heaven and earth. The tiger's mouth of his hand split open, and crimson-gold blood flowed out.
This was rare. Since Ye Chen debuted in this life, he had always swept through with an invincible, domineering posture, seldom encountering a situation where he was at a disadvantage against a peer.
More importantly, the Heavenly God Spear had actually snapped, broken by the Scarlet Scale King.
This Heavenly God Spear was, after all, just a Dao weapon Ye Chen brought from the Tian Du Continent, an ordinary Divine Transformation Dao weapon. The materials used for forging were not very good, far inferior to the Scarlet Scale King's blood spear. Its breaking was only a matter of time, so Ye Chen was not the least bit shocked. However, at this moment, he truly faced the Scarlet Scale King as a formidable enemy.
The opponent's Qilin True Body had manifested, becoming more than just a notch stronger. The power hidden within the bloodline, once revived, was truly terrifying, with ancestral power at work, innately invincible.
Moreover, the Scarlet Qilin was a King among demons, inheriting an even more ancient Qilin bloodline. That originated from an invincible existence from the even more ancient Mythical Era, rumored to be a supreme holy spirit born between heaven and earth at the dawn of creation, innately invincible, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao.
Its bloodline power was not the least bit inferior compared to the True Dragon. The Scarlet Scale King was even stronger, almost stepping into another level.
It could be seen that the Scarlet Scale King continuously swung the blood spear. Each strike carried the weight of ten thousand jun, as if a thousand mountains were pressing down. Even someone as strong as Ye Chen felt terrifying pressure at this moment, but the blood within his body also boiled, true blood circulating, divine power unparalleled.
After losing the Heavenly God Spear, he fearlessly brandished that invincible fist, accompanied by crimson radiance. He threw punch after punch, continuously colliding with the blood spear. Clanging sounds rang out incessantly, like claps of thunder exploding one after another.
Although the skin on his fists split open and flesh tore, with blood splattering, Ye Chen actually blocked the Scarlet Scale King's attacks, presenting a situation of evenly matched strength.
"Your divine body is not bad, but thinking it can compare to this King's Qilin True Body is still far off." The Scarlet Scale King sneered coldly. His entire person was like a regressed Scarlet Qilin. He actively closed in for close combat, his right hand swinging the blood spear in a sweeping strike, while his left hand shone with surging blood light, transforming into a ferocious giant claw.
That was a Qilin Claw, one of the offensive divine techniques of the Scarlet God Valley. When used in conjunction with the Qilin True Body, it was even more terrifying, as if a real Scarlet Qilin was swiping its claw. The entire firmament seemed about to be torn and shattered.
Ye Chen's figure rapidly retreated, instantly withdrawing thousands of zhang away, because he sensed danger. But even so, a patch of flesh and blood was still scraped off his chest, blood dripping, a shocking sight.
"Ye Chen." Chen Ruo in the distance was somewhat worried. This was the first time she had seen Ye Chen sustain such injuries, and she was concerned.
But Ye Chen shook his head, indicating he was fine. The Divine King Rebirth Art circulated within his body, and in an instant, the wound rapidly healed, his physique flawless and intact.
"This is..." At this moment, Chen Ruo's eyes suddenly blazed many times brighter, her entire body trembling slightly.
Ye Chen did not notice Chen Ruo's abnormality, because at this very moment, the Scarlet Scale King attacked again. The Qilin True Body was invincible, sweeping through everything, making even him feel terrifying pressure.
Boom—
Ye Chen was swept flying once more. The Qilin True Body was truly terrifying, greatly boosting the Scarlet Scale King's combat power. He had already begun to suppress Ye Chen.
Old Yan found it strange and transmitted a message via voice transmission: "Why aren't you using the Battle God Seal? With that enhancement secret technique, your strength can definitely climb another level, enough to suppress the Qilin True Body."
He knew the power of the Battle God Seal. It elevated power comprehensively through Extreme Sublimation, quite terrifying.
Once used, he believed that with Ye Chen's strength, he could completely overpower a King, displaying an invincible posture.
"Using the Battle God Seal to suppress and kill him would indeed be easy, but I need him to temper my body in this life. After all, I've cultivated for too short a time; my foundation is always somewhat weak. Him helping me temper and stabilize it suits my intentions perfectly."
Ye Chen said calmly and composedly. From beginning to end, he had never truly taken the Scarlet Scale King to heart. Even though the other party was a Young King, he had personally slain many figures of this level in his previous life, even earning the title of King Slayer.
Only Young True Kings like the Yuan Yao Divine King, the Primordial Demon God, the Son of God, and the Peerless Phoenix Dancer were qualified to be his opponents.
This was his confidence. He could use the Battle God Seal to suppress and kill the Scarlet Scale King in a short time. But as he said, since awakening in this life, it had only been four or five years. His improvement was too fast, inevitably leaving his foundation somewhat weak. Therefore, he needed a King to spar with, to temper and consolidate himself.
The blood within Ye Chen's body boiled, rumbling loudly. In an instant, it was not the least bit weak compared to the Scarlet Scale King's, engaging in a head-on confrontation.
His divine fists were unparalleled. He threw out one hundred and eight punches in succession, each drawing blood—his own and the Scarlet Scale King's. The Qilin armor also shattered, blood continuously spurting.
His treasure body was unparalleled, his blood energy vigorous. Even if the opponent had the Qilin True Body, it was no match. He fought bravely.
In the end, an invincible will of the Great Dao surged from Ye Chen's body, shaking heaven and earth as it rushed forward.
