Scarlet Scale King was shocked, for he sensed Ye Chen's essence, energy, and spirit rapidly soaring at an astonishing rate. A majestic divine light erupted from the crown of his head, piercing through heaven and earth, its radiance covering the firmament, its divine might surging forth, terrifyingly peerless.
His fighting spirit boiled over, a will to battle of immense terror erupting. Though he hadn't unleashed any world-shaking divine techniques, that will alone was terrifyingly peerless, causing heaven and earth to rumble and shake, impacting even Scarlet Scale King, who was shaken and alarmed.
"Such a powerful will, unprecedented."
Scarlet Scale King's expression changed, and there was also a sense of wariness, for the stronger the opponent's will, the greater his potential, and the more unimaginably his combat power could be unleashed.
To him, this was a threat.
Every king was a peerless enemy on the path of the Human Sovereign, not to be underestimated.
Ye Chen strode forward, his combat power boiling over, the battle becoming even more astonishing. His vigorous blood energy swept out like a vast ocean surging forth, inundating the void, transforming into a domain of battle.
"Roar!"
With a furious roar, Ye Chen attacked like a humanoid True Dragon, crossing the sky, his divine fists swinging, carrying the supreme will of the Great Dao as they erupted, smashing forward, causing the entire firmament to tremble.
Scarlet Scale King also swung his fist, covered in scarlet scales, to collide with him, erupting with endless bloody light that shook the mountain range.
"Scarlet Qilin Tail Sweep!"
Scarlet Scale King shouted. Behind him, the massive phantom of a Scarlet Qilin appeared. Using his long leg to substitute for the Qilin's tail, he swept it horizontally, displaying what was actually an ancestral technique.
That was an ancestral technique passed down from the Scarlet Qilin, a supreme offensive divine technique derived from the fundamental form of the Qilin Holy Spirit.
In the Mythical Era, the Qilin Holy Spirit was invincible across ancient and modern times, comparable to the strongest Emperors and Sovereigns, able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao. Every movement contained endless profound principles, possessing a supreme Dao Rhyme. The Scarlet Qilin Tail Sweep was a terrifying divine ability performed by imitating the Dao Rhyme of the Qilin Holy Spirit.
This move, Scarlet Qilin Tail Sweep, had always been among the supreme offensive divine techniques of the Scarlet God Valley, consistently achieving glorious battle records.
But facing this Scarlet Qilin Tail Sweep, suddenly, Ye Chen made a shocking move. He simply slowly raised one hand, very calmly, very slowly.
Yet in that instant, the winds and clouds changed color, all directions trembled, the earth cracked, and a vast, endless, terrifying divine might was born, as if even the heavens above were about to be shaken.
Heaven-Shaking Hand!
One of the peerless offensive saint techniques within the Battle Saint Art, invincible across ancient and modern times, reputed to be able to shake the heavens and destroy all obstacles.
Now, after having used the Severing Heaven Finger in the Void Heaven Domain, this was the second Battle Saint Art Ye Chen had unleashed in this lifetime!
Boom—
One could feel that when Ye Chen waved his hand, even the will of heaven and earth seemed to tremble and groan, unable to bear it. Scarlet Scale King's expression changed again. What kind of divine ability was this? Why did it give him a sense of fatal crisis?
If the void of the myriad realms weren't stable enough, it would likely have completely shattered under this Heaven-Shaking Hand.
A supreme power, boundless and far-reaching, swept through the vast clouds, a sight that struck awe and fear.
In the distance, Chen Ruo stood up completely. Beneath her black robe, her eyes widened, her alluring red lips parted, her peerlessly beautiful face filled with disbelief and shock.
How was this possible...
Boom—
The two figures clashed and separated. At the moment of collision, heaven collapsed and earth split. Countless barren mountains in this region turned to dust, and the earth cracked open into massive chasms.
If not for Chen Ruo's blockade and shielding of the void here, the explosion would have surely resounded across thousands of li, attracting attention.
But under the collision's power, the void barrier nearly shattered, which was unbelievable.
After the clash, Scarlet Scale King's long leg used for the Scarlet Qilin Tail Sweep completely exploded, flesh and blood gone, leaving only stark white bone, blood splattering. It was shocking. Even his Qilin True Body couldn't fully protect him. In the end, one leg exploded, paying a considerable price.
Ye Chen on the opposite side wasn't in great shape either. The hand that executed the Battle Saint Art Heaven-Shaking Hand was completely twisted and cracked, skin torn and flesh rent, hand bones shattered section by section, going limp, with only blood dripping down.
This was due to the fearsomeness of the Scarlet Qilin Tail Sweep, and also the aftereffects of the Heaven-Shaking Hand.
The Battle Saint Art was supremely invincible, the strongest offensive saint technique throughout history. While powerful, it was also incredibly domineering, requiring a supreme physical saint body to support it. Otherwise, if the physical body wasn't strong enough and one forced its use, they might suffer the domineering backlash of the Battle Saint Art, their body exploding into pieces.
It could be said this was the strongest offensive saint technique born specifically for the Battle Sacred Body. Throughout history, only the strongest Battle Sacred Body could withstand the domineering backlash power of the Battle Saint Art.
And now, even someone as powerful as Ye Chen, with his Human Yuan Golden Body perfected and undergoing Extreme Sublimation, couldn't manage it. He had only barely executed half of the technique. The terrifying backlash power caused his arm to shatter, and even part of his human body's origin was depleted, showing just how severe it was.
If he had executed the full technique, even this powerful treasure body would certainly be unable to withstand it. At the very least, his entire body's tendons, bones, and flesh would splinter inch by inch, suffering severe damage.
"What a terrifying offensive saint technique. So this is the legendary Battle Saint Art. Indeed, it cannot be used unless one possesses the Battle Sacred Body. The backlash power is terrifying to this extent." Even Old Yan exclaimed in amazement, sighing with awe.
Ye Chen nodded. At the same time, he took out a five-thousand-year-old Heaven and Earth Treasure and directly bit into it. The fragrant sap was completely devoured, replenishing his origin power. He activated the Divine King Rebirth Art, rapidly repairing his injured body. In less than a moment, every inch of his flesh was revitalized, radiating divine radiance, completely restored.
This terrifying healing speed was also astonishing. Throughout history, across the myriad realms, there were few who could match it. It was hard to imagine how the Human King of old had created such a technique. One had to admit he was one of the most dazzling geniuses of ancient and modern times.
Scarlet Scale King's expression changed repeatedly. This person's strength was beyond his expectations. But he wasn't weak either. He also quickly took out a pill and swallowed it. The Qilin bloodline within his body revived, Order Divine Chains rapidly interweaving, carrying out flesh regeneration, allowing his exploded right leg to regrow.
But Ye Chen took advantage of his weakness to strike a fatal blow, giving him no chance to recover from his injuries. At this moment, he chose to attack.
"Despicable!"
Scarlet Scale King cursed inwardly, retreating like lightning. But caught off guard, he was still struck. Several parts of his body exploded, scarlet scales shattered, blood flying in all directions, looking quite miserable.
But ultimately, Scarlet Scale King dodged the attack, successfully recovered, his face quite gloomy as he engaged in a fierce battle, shaking all directions, causing heaven and earth to tremble, dust soaring into the sky.
The two fought together once more, each unleashing various powerful divine techniques to attack the other. Terrifying dao fluctuations erupted one after another, rumbling sounds ringing incessantly, making heaven and earth tremble.
The Qilin True Body was fearsome. The Holy Spirit bloodline began to revive, its bloodline power terrifyingly boundless, continuously releasing wave after wave of much stronger power, appearing much more formidable than at the beginning, momentum like a rainbow, truly like a humanoid Qilin on the attack, slaying gods when encountering gods, slaughtering buddhas when encountering buddhas, unstoppable.
However, Ye Chen also grew more valiant the longer he fought. The fighting spirit in his heart boiled over, his blood surging skyward. The light of his Primordial Spirit between his eyebrows transformed into a small golden sun. Majestic Primordial Spirit pressure spread out, carrying a powerful fighting will that pressed forward. He continuously attacked, actually preventing the Qilin True Body from suppressing him for a time.
Boom—
Suddenly, the entire heaven and earth seemed to shake violently, all mountains and valleys trembling, winds and clouds changing color.
Outside the barren mountain range, a supreme force was attacking, pounding the void barrier, shaking heaven and earth, on the verge of breaking through the void barrier and entering.
Chen Ruo's expression changed, transmitting her voice: "Not good. Someone is trying to break through the void barrier I set up. They're about to break in. It's that Demi-Saint from the Scarlet God Valley."
She hadn't expected the Scarlet God Valley's Demi-Saint to find them so quickly, much faster than anticipated.
Scarlet Scale King's face lit up with joy, unable to resist laughing heartily: "Haha, my clan's Demi-Saint is about to descend. Even if you've blocked this place, what of it? Our clan's Demi-Saint has finally found it. Once he descends, it will be your death."
Ye Chen's expression was as cold as ice: "That depends on whether you can survive to see it. Take this!"
He began to circulate his divine power, an offensive saint technique from his past life.
"Human King Seal!" Boom—
Ye Chen's aura suddenly grew much stronger, not the least bit inferior to Scarlet Scale King. His entire person possessed an aura of supreme majesty, as if the common ruler of humanity, the king among men, had appeared, majesty peerless, looking down upon all heavens, overlooking the myriad domains.
A loud explosion rang out as he clashed with Scarlet Scale King. The two clashed and separated. Scarlet Scale King was greatly astonished. It was actually the peerless divine ability Human King Seal. He hadn't expected Ye Chen to have mastered it as well.
Ye Chen seemed like the master of humanity making an appearance, naturally possessing great dignity, moving with the stride of a dragon and the step of a tiger, causing heaven and earth to tremble. He actively attacked Scarlet Scale King, engaging in a fierce contest.
"The Human King Seal is useless too! My Qilin True Body is invincible!" Scarlet Scale King shouted, bloody light erupting in his eyes. Behind him, a fearsome and massive Scarlet Qilin phantom appeared, bloody light flooding the sky, pressure boundless.
And behind Ye Chen stood a supreme Human Sovereign, immensely dignified, as if holding the great authority of the myriad realms, matchless.
But the face of the Human Sovereign was clearly Ye Chen's. He had actually transformed the Human Sovereign divine image into his own body, astonishing Scarlet Scale King.
"Qilin Battle Armor!" Scarlet Scale King shouted, condensing the Qilin phantom into a suit of battle armor, donning it upon himself, merging with his human form. His aura surged violently. This was a powerful divine ability, both offensive and defensive, matchless.
"What of divine bloodlines? What of the Scarlet Qilin bloodline?" Ye Chen's entire person also completely merged with the Human Sovereign phantom, himself transforming into the supreme Human King, combat power matchless, heaven and earth trembling, majesty peerless.
At this moment, Ye Chen felt the shackles on his True Spirit shatter a bit more again. More memories surged forth. His aura skyrocketed.
"Azure Dragon Arm!"
Ye Chen uttered softly. The phantom of an Azure Dragon, a thousand zhang long, coiled into appearance, dragon might spreading. It was the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit, one of the supreme holy spirits of creation, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Qilin Holy Spirit.
The massive Azure Dragon let out a long cry after which its entire form merged into Ye Chen's right arm. Immediately, scales of the Azure Dragon rapidly appeared, flashing with cold light, transforming into a strong and powerful Azure Dragon Arm. Moreover, a vast water element aura manifested.
The Azure Dragon Arm swung out, and soaring azure light erupted. Endless waves of water actually came rolling forth, shaking the void, inundating the barren mountains. Several yellow mountains were directly swept away. Striking horizontally, caught off guard, Scarlet Scale King was sent flying.
The Qilin Battle Armor, not yet fully condensed and completed, was shattered. A large chunk of flesh was torn from Scarlet Scale King's chest, blood dripping profusely.
"White Tiger Hand!"
Billowing white light erupted on his left hand. A divine tiger appeared—the White Tiger Holy Spirit of creation. Accompanying Ye Chen's left hand's strike, slashing horizontally, a dazzling white light streaked across heaven and earth, the ultimate embodiment of wind, directly shattering Scarlet Scale King's left arm used for defense, blood mist spraying.
"Vermilion Bird Step!"
He began to move with profound steps. With each step landing, streaks of blazing flame spread. Finally, the flames merged, condensing into a sun.
Then the sun crumbled inch by inch. A Vermilion Bird Holy Spirit appeared, flames soaring to the sky, a sea of fire pouring down. Even Scarlet Scale King, skilled in the way of fire, was burned by the Vermilion Bird divine flames. Many scales over his entire body were burned and shattered alive, turning to ashes.
"Black Tortoise Leg!"
Ye Chen spun and delivered a sweeping strike. The phantom of a Black Tortoise appeared, filling the firmament, releasing a heavy earth element aura, as if capable of weighing down the firmament. It directly and completely shattered every single scarlet scale on Scarlet Scale King's body. Covered in blood, he was sent flying backward, his flesh covered in cracks like porcelain.
He attacked with forceful, matchless dominance. The phantoms of the four holy spirits of creation—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise—merged with him, combining with his four limbs, as if mastering the four poles of heaven and earth, stirring the universe. Four-colored divine light coiled around his body, offensive power peerless in the world.
This was the Four Extremities Connecting to Sage Style, also a supreme offensive divine technique from his past life, sealed by the True Spirit shackles. Now that part of it had shattered, it was revealed, allowing him to use it freely.
Even someone as powerful as Scarlet Scale King, after using the Qilin Battle Armor, suffered severe attacks, quickly shattering, continuously shedding blood, passively falling into a disadvantage, and constantly suffering repeated heavy injuries.
He struggled fiercely to resist, but found it useless, because Ye Chen was too powerful, truly like an invincible Human King descending to the mortal world, merged with him. Every gesture possessed boundless great power, operating the mysterious four extremities offensive divine ability to attack, sweeping all before him, unstoppable. Whole swathes of barren mountains were swept away by him, impossible to block.
Suddenly, Scarlet Scale King seemed to have an epiphany, murmuring to himself: "So this is an Immortal True King?"
"Correct. I am a True King, peerless and immortal!" Ye Chen said coldly, striding forward. The power of the void operated, restraining his opponent. "Next, it's time to end you!"
Boom—
Heaven and earth collapsed, the void disintegrated. The void barrier set up by Chen Ruo was completely shattered. A terrifying dao pressure rolled forth, blotting out the sky and covering the earth: "How dare you harm a king of my clan! Seeking death!"
