It was like a bolt from the blue. The great killer who had roamed the younger generation of the Chaos Sea, slaughtered numerous alien Emperor Sons and Emperor Daughters, even defied the heavens thirty years ago to break through the Rule Heavenly Pass and enter the Primordial Heaven Realm, slaying multiple Dominator-level supreme experts—the Battle Saint King—was actually right before their eyes?
The other Alien Monarchs also changed color one after another.
This was because Ye Chen's reputation was far too resounding. He possessed invincible combat power comparable to a peerless Sovereign, had been promoted from the legendary Eternal Quasi-Sovereign, was the legendary Chaos cultivator, a key figure of the Pangu Universe, and so on. Who could not be wary of him?
Now, this peerless great god of slaughter had actually appeared before them, causing the remaining three Alien Monarchs to all change color.
The aliens within the Mythical Ruins Land also changed color one after another.
Especially the Distant Desolation Demon God, whose killing intent surged to the heavens, yet was also filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.
Because he knew that, though they were both Great Perfection Supreme Heaven's Prides, the gap between himself and this Battle Saint King could not be described by a distance of a hundred thousand miles—it was utterly immense.
He could look down upon the younger generation, but the Battle Saint King's strength had long since stepped into the Sovereign domain. He had even single-handedly slain multiple Ancient Monarchs from the alien Ancient Universe—a truly terrifying figure, a person on the alien Ancient Universe's must-kill list.
Now, witnessing the Battle Saint King crushingly and decisively defeat the Futu Di Clan Sovereign in a single encounter, that sense of powerlessness grew even more intense.
He feared that if he faced this Battle Saint King, a mere finger from the other party would be enough to crush him thousands upon thousands of times over.
Crackle, pop—
Ye Chen's entire body began to undergo a startling transformation.
Originally, he could be considered a handsome and tall young man. But at this moment, with this change, his entire being, whether in appearance or temperament, underwent a complete and thorough metamorphosis.
In the end, a man as if carved by the heavens, the most handsome of all, appeared before the eyes of the world.
They had never seen such a flawless person, especially a man. He looked to be just over twenty years old, yet his features were peerlessly handsome, as if carved by divine craftsmanship. Combined with the golden-ratio physique faintly visible beneath his tattered armor, he seemed like the most perfect existence under heaven, without a single flaw to be found.
His perfection surpassed the imagination of mortals.
This was Ye Chen's true face—the perfect appearance of an Eternal Sovereign. Even a celestial maiden would pale in comparison.
At this moment, Ye Chen's flawless face was full of mockery. "Congratulations, you guessed correctly!"
Boom—
With a forceful squeeze of his palm, the head of the Futu Di Clan Sovereign instantly exploded, and even the Sovereign Heavenly Soul within his Niwan Palace was crushed alive.
This was the fearsomeness of the Chaos Saint Body, powerful beyond measure.
What of being an Ancient Monarch? As long as they weren't super Sovereign-level figures of the sixth or seventh Heaven or above, they were merely this weak in his eyes.
"Brother Dao!"
The other three Alien Monarchs cried out in alarm, also carrying unparalleled, sky-filling fury. At this moment, they were filled with infinite killing intent towards Ye Chen.
Rumble—
Ye Chen directly and effortlessly devoured the flesh, blood, and Heavenly Soul fragments of the Futu Di Clan Sovereign. His Chaos Saint Body emitted light.
Even if the true spirit within the Heavenly Soul fragments wasn't completely annihilated, it didn't matter. His Chaos Saint Body was like a Chaos cauldron, refining and dissolving all impurities.
Instantly, the curse Dao injuries within his body were resolved by a large margin. Numerous drops of pitch-black blood appeared, each drop containing absolute curse power that would make even an Ancient Sovereign change color.
This level of curse power was definitely not something an ordinary Sovereign could unleash. While a few drops were nothing to fear, if they accumulated, even an Ancient Sovereign would face immense trouble.
Faintly discernible, the several Ancient Monarchs could all see that Ye Chen's body contained an indescribable dark power. The curse power was far more terrifying than the black blood he had forced out.
In an instant, they all understood.
Ye Chen must have suffered terrible Dao injuries, and not ordinary ones at that, but curse Dao injuries.
Recalling the Dominator battle thirty years ago, where he alone confronted the nine Life Forbidden Zone Dominators and alien super Sovereign experts, the curse Dao injuries within his body must have been left from that time.
Sovereign Chen Yuan seemed to have understood Ye Chen's true identity. After a moment of silence, he finally sighed in amazement, "I never imagined Your Excellency has such a grand origin."
Beside him, the protected Sovereign Lord Huang also let out a soft sigh.
This person was actually the legendary Heavenly Kingdom Ruler.
So young, yet so invincible.
The world only knew of the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler's peerless invincibility, but did not know he was so young.
Although thirty years ago, during that battle, there were vague rumors that the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler had mentioned his cultivation time was less than a thousand years, people were often shocked by his true combat power—suppressing the nine Life Forbidden Zone Dominators, crushing the alien super Sovereigns originating from darkness—so much so that they forgot his true age.
If not for seeing it with his own eyes, even Sovereign Lord Huang would not dare believe the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler was so young. In a sense, he was a young Heaven's Pride of the same generation as himself.
Yet, it was precisely such a young Heaven's Pride who had already reached such heights, making even an Emperor Son-level figure like himself feel far inferior.
He was an Emperor Son, inheriting the most powerful and purest Supreme bloodline, yet he had to admit and sigh at his own inadequacy.
After a brief moment of shock, the three Alien Monarchs instead looked at Ye Chen with a series of cold laughs. "Battle Saint King, we have to admit you are indeed very powerful, comparable to a peerless Sovereign in the past, perhaps even more so. But we also know that in the Dominator battle thirty years ago, you must have suffered the most terrible injuries. The curse Dao injuries were left from that time."
"Although just now, you resolved Brother Dao of the Futu Di Clan in a single encounter, displaying absolute power, we don't believe you have much strength left. You must have forcibly gathered your peak combat power."
"We just don't know how long you can maintain this state."
As their words fell, the three Alien Monarchs all looked at Ye Chen as if he were prey.
The Battle Saint King—the strongest Heaven's Pride that the alien race must eradicate at all costs, the strongest Heaven's Pride of this epoch in the Chaos Sea, bar none.
Once he grew up, he might have the chance to reach a level comparable to the Primordial Ancestor or the Heavenly Emperor, posing an immense threat to the entire alien Ancient Universe.
How could they allow such a terrifying enemy to fully mature?
Moreover, once the Battle Saint King was slain, they would undoubtedly receive the most generous rewards. No one could remain unmoved.
At this moment, in their eyes, the Battle Saint King was undoubtedly a prey waiting to be slaughtered.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, though his smile was filled with mockery. "Do you really think I, the Battle Saint King, am prey to be slaughtered at your whim? Do you truly believe I used my current limit of power just now and cannot sustain it?"
