The five Forbidden Zone Masters joined forces for a peak-level strike, blasting Ye Chen away once more. As expected, the Great Dao Heavenly Diagram still managed to block it.
However, it was clear that after receiving two consecutive blows, the Great Dao Heavenly Diagram had dimmed considerably. If it continued to be struck several more times, it would inevitably be completely shattered. At that point, the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler would have no defense left and would certainly be killed by them.
Ye Chen charged again and again; the five Forbidden Zone Masters attacked again and again.
The Great Dao Heavenly Diagram flashed into existence time after time, only to dim again and again.
Each dimming represented the gradual weakening of the Great Dao Heavenly Diagram's power.
It went without saying that before long, the Great Dao Heavenly Diagram would be utterly destroyed.
Finally, the moment arrived.
Boom—
Crack—
The Great Dao Heavenly Diagram was completely pierced through. At that instant, a force more terrifying than before slammed into Ye Chen, who had lost the diagram's protection, utterly piercing through his Chaos Saint Body.
Rumble—
The heavens collapsed and the earth split, as if a great world was being destroyed, or as if all the heavens were falling into endless ruin. Everything was lost.
Ye Chen was smashed to pieces, his blood light scattering across every inch of the Mythical Ruins Land. He suffered the most horrific injuries, even having his Chaos Saint Soul pierced.
"Excellent! We've finally severely wounded the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler! Now is the time to press the advantage and swear to utterly kill the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, preferably grinding him into endless dust forever!"
The several Forbidden Zone Masters all wore icy expressions. This was undoubtedly a heaven-sent opportunity. If they struck now, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance they could kill the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler.
They locked onto all the flesh, blood, form, and spirit scattered across the heavens and earth—every fragment of Ye Chen's being. They attacked together, intending to completely annihilate every last bit of flesh and blood.
"Saint Body Regeneration Art!"
Suddenly, a great roar shook the eternal sky.
The flesh, blood, and soul that had been blasted into a mist of blood instantly reassembled in less than the blink of an eye. Ye Chen's figure reappeared in the mortal world.
Moreover, at this very moment, one could clearly sense that within the body of their enemy, the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, an aura far more terrifying than before was majestically rising, filling his limbs and bones. Waves of power that could be described as supremely dreadful surged forth.
Visible to the naked eye, Ye Chen's entire aura was climbing level by level. In just a few short breaths, his aura had become countless times stronger than before, soon even reaching the level he possessed thirty years ago when he crossed realms.
"He's fully recovered?"
They were stunned, but their expressions quickly changed drastically.
Because that aura did not stop. On the contrary, it continued to climb at an astonishing, rapid pace.
"How is this possible!?"
The five Forbidden Zone Masters all paled. The Heavenly Kingdom Ruler of the past had been so powerful he had wounded and killed them, leaving them in an extremely miserable state of severe injuries and deaths, from which they had not recovered even after thirty years.
Now, the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, whose Great Dao Heavenly Diagram had been shattered, was actually even stronger than he was thirty years ago.
This shouldn't be. At most, he should have just recovered.
It was then that the Kunxu Master and another Forbidden Zone Master realized the truth. They exchanged a glance, exclaiming in shock, "The Great Dao Heavenly Diagram!"
He devoured the Great Dao Heavenly Diagram!
They knew deeply how fearsome the Great Dao Heavenly Diagram was. It was formed back then by the combined power of numerous Forbidden Zone Masters and alien super Sovereigns being imposed upon Ye Chen, even forcibly implanting two Great Dao Heavenly Suns into his body to solidify it and seal everything away.
Even someone as powerful as Ye Chen, after awakening and even resolving the curse's Dao injury, had remained powerless against it, which showed just how terrifying it was.
Now that it had been devoured, it also represented Ye Chen achieving a leap in power that could be described as meteoric.
Ye Chen raised his head, grinning at the five of them, a bright and sunny smile that was also deeply mocking. "Thank you. If not for your help, I couldn't have recovered so quickly."
"Not good! We helped him shatter the Great Dao Heavenly Diagram! Instead of sealing him, we've helped him advance a step further! Now he's going to devour the Great Dao Heavenly Diagram and become even stronger! Everyone, attack quickly! Stop him from growing more powerful!"
The auras of the five Forbidden Zone Masters shook the heavens as they attacked together, shaking the cosmos with terror beyond imagination. They struck across the sky, launching heavy blows to kill Ye Chen.
Rumble—
At that moment, Ye Chen moved, his aura surging to the peak of his life.
Chaos light surged, chaos energy billowed in endless layers, submerging his own body and evolving myriad realms. Between his strands of hair, theenacting / manifesting of Chaos rules could be seen.
At this moment, he was like the very vessel of the Chaos Great Dao, incomparably formidable.
He threw a punch. In an instant, it transformed into a heavenly sun, comparable to the Great Dao Heavenly Sun. It carried the infinite power to suppress the vast Primordial Heaven Realm, as if the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Heaven Realm itself had taken action, containing flawless, supreme power.
Boom—
The collision between them instantly caused this heaven and earth to completely shatter. Even the entire Mythical Ruins Land fell into great destruction, everything on the verge of ceasing to exist.
The Mythical Ruins Land collapsed, utterly perishing. Even with the residual traces of Ancient Emperors, it could not withstand the force and ceased to exist in the mortal world.
Ye Chen, the Immortal Emperor Medicine, and the five Forbidden Zone Masters all fell from the shattered Mythical Ruins Land, tumbling out beyond the Primordial Heaven Realm.
Their appearance naturally startled the entire Primordial Heaven Realm!
The people of the world looked up. Billions of living beings watched, all recognizing both sides and feeling shock.
"Flawless and complete, peerless in the Great Dao, perfect and without blemish... That's the peerless Heavenly Kingdom Ruler who crossed realms thirty years ago! He truly hasn't perished! He's still alive! Now he's returned at his peak, his majesty seemingly surpassing the past by countless times!"
"The other five... aren't they the five Masters who survived the Ruler War?"
"After thirty years, the opposing sides have reappeared in the mortal world. Are they going to continue the Ruler War from thirty years ago?"
The whole world was shaken, recognizing both sides and sensing their hostile fluctuations, feeling a kind of terror.
Even though the Ruler War thirty years ago took place high above in the vast heavens, it was so intense that the entire Primordial Heaven Realm suffered terrible effects. Even the endless starry sky was turned into a land of stellar ruins, with endless star debris and infinite stars permanently reduced to dust, dimming away.
It even caused the interconnection between the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds to occur many years earlier, leading to the current situation where, aside from the Desolate Realm, the other six realms are all completely connected to the Primordial Heaven Realm.
In the Ancient Desolate Kingdom, Barbarian God King led a group of his Barbarian Tribe clansmen to the capital. He also held a Sovereign Immortal Weapon, protecting the entire capital as he looked up at the two sides confronting each other in the sky.
Especially when looking at that majestic, flawless, and perfect figure who suppressed both past and present with his presence alone, he revealed deep reverence and awe.
Who could have thought that the mysterious Senior Ye Chen was actually the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler who caused the Ruler War thirty years ago?
And now, he feared nothing, standing alone against five Forbidden Zone Masters.
