When their gazes turned towards Kunxu Ruler, one of the Five Forbidden Zone Masters standing opposite Ye Chen, the Barbarian God King and the many descendants of the Huangdi Clan from the Barbarian Tribe all revealed deep-seated fury.
In the past, it was precisely because of this Kunxu Ruler that the Ancient Hall transformed from the Huangdi Clan was destroyed, leaving only their branch of descendants behind.
Within the Primordial Heaven Realm, countless people watched this scene.
The Seven Great Ancient Inheritances naturally drew even more attention, and one Ancient Sovereign after another was gradually awakening.
In the hidden void, the alien race's expressions turned countless times colder.
The Battle Saint King was indeed still alive!
Originally, they had intended to use the power of the Heavenly Ruins to find him, but they never expected they were ultimately a step too late. The Battle Saint King had recovered and emerged ahead of schedule.
In the south, west, north, and center, the four young overlords of the alien race, the strongest geniuses ranked on the current Emperor List, all looked with complex expressions at that perfect figure standing high above, facing the Five Forbidden Zone Masters alone.
They knew his identity and shared an irreconcilable blood feud with him, yet they never expected to encounter this supreme talent who had dominated the Chaos Sea here.
...
Ye Chen's reappearance in the mortal world caused such immense waves that the entire Primordial Heaven Realm was seething with undercurrents.
This also caused even a peerless ancient medicine as rare throughout history as the Immortal Emperor Medicine to pale in comparison.
As the protagonist of all this, Ye Chen did not dwell on it, for he still needed to deal with the Five Forbidden Zone Masters.
The entire world watched!
The Heavenly Kingdom Ruler versus the Five Forbidden Zone Masters—a peak battle thirty years in the making!
Almost immediately, they shot into the sky, charging into the old battlefield of yesteryear—the shattered Star Ruins!
"Enter my inner world. You will obtain a new opportunity there," Ye Chen said to the Immortal Emperor Medicine.
The Immortal Emperor Medicine's crown swayed, then rapidly shrank to the size of a normal tree, disappearing into the passage within Ye Chen's body. With a whoosh, it appeared within the Origin Universe.
Sensing the Origin Universe, it marveled in awe. It also saw the appearance of the World Tree, swaying as it manifested, expanding to a span of billions of li once more, planting itself upon the origin, devouring the power of the universe. All its injuries were recovering, swaying with radiant light, transmitting a joyful fluctuation.
"Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, this is the battlefield of the Ruler War thirty years ago. Back then, we nearly killed you here. Today, it will inevitably become your burial ground," Kunxu Ruler said with utter indifference.
"You alone are not enough to kill me. From my perspective, it is you who should die."
At the same time, Ye Chen suddenly made his move. His figure manifested to a height of billions of zhang. A giant hand reached out, encompassing a vast expanse of heaven, earth, and void spanning who knew how many tens of thousands of li. Then, it even gathered together the fragments of the Mythical Ruins Land, refining them into a fist-sized sphere of light.
This seemingly tiny sphere of light was actually an extreme condensation of a world originally not inferior to a Monarch Great World into this single point.
Ye Chen infused the sphere with a heaven-shattering, earth-rending torrent of energy, followed by an endless stream of Sovereign Rules pouring into it continuously. All of this was completed in the blink of an eye.
Then, with a flick of his finger.
Whoosh—
The sphere shot forth.
"This sphere is named the Primordial Pearl!"
The tiny sphere of light traversed billions of li of sky in a flash, arriving before the Five Forbidden Zone Masters in another part of the Star Ruins.
Instantly, all Five Forbidden Zone Masters reacted as if facing a great enemy. Even their faces, usuallymajestymust not beviolate / encroach upon (dignified and inviolable), revealed threads of solemnity. Powerful as they were, they could fully sense the terrifying energy contained within that sphere.
Almost immediately, the five of them instantly unleashed their most powerful defensive techniques, transforming into layer upon layer of impregnable defensive light screens, stacked one over another to block before them.
"Primordial Pearl, Primordial Divides Heaven and Earth!"
As Ye Chen's soft utterance fell, that sphere instantly exploded. Then, it was as if a Monarch Great World had detonated—overwhelming, filled with indescribable destructive power, vast and mighty, surging upward.
Within the destruction, there was not only pure destructive force but also Primordial Light, rising in layers. Then, it cleaved heaven and earth, giving birth to layer upon layer of worlds and heavens, only to immediately plunge into constant destruction once more.
After repeating this cycle, it could be seen with one's own eyes that the layered defensive light screens conjured by the Five Forbidden Zone Masters, under the bombardment of the Primordial Pearl, continuously fell into destruction, torn apart by countless layers.
The entire Infinite Star Ruins, originally shattered to infinity during the Ruler War thirty years ago, now subjected to the Primordial Pearl's terrifying destructive assault, once again teetered on the brink of even greater annihilation.
Visible to the naked eye, the entire Infinite Star Ruins, spanning who knew how many tens of thousands of li, had completely become a vast expanse of emptiness.
The Five Forbidden Zone Masters, who could initially withstand it somewhat, were now utterly and completely torn through all their defenses by the Primordial Pearl. In the end, the terrifying, overlapping forces continuously bombarded their bodies.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
It could clearly be seen that the figures of the Five Forbidden Zone Masters were continuously forced back, impacted by the most terrifying destructive force. Each of them coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.
Although the layered defensive screens blocked the majority of the attack's force, even the remaining small portion was still considered utterly terrifying.
For that was the Primordial Pearl condensed from the Mythical Ruins Land. Such a ruins land was not something an ordinary Monarch Great World could compare to. Especially after Ye Chen infused it with his fearsome divine ability, its power had directly increased manyfold. Even a supreme Sovereign-level figure like Kunxu Ruler could not withstand it and began to suffer injuries, blood continuously trickling from the corner of his mouth.
The entire world marveled. That was the peerless combat power of the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler. Thirty years had passed, yet he had not perished. Now, upon his return, he directly pushed forward, causing even the last remaining Five Forbidden Zone Masters to be beaten until they vomited blood incessantly.
Ye Chen's expression remained calm. He knew the Primordial Pearl could not kill the Five Forbidden Zone Masters; he had never intended that from the start.
But he had plenty of methods to deal with the Five Forbidden Zone Masters.
His figure flashed, traversing through the layered destructive forces, appearing directly before the Five Forbidden Zone Masters.
At this moment, having broken through the Great Dao Heavenly Diagram's seal and completely absorbed the Great Dao Heavenly Diagram, he truly displayed his perfect combat power.
Within his body, infinite divine might capable of shattering worlds and heavens at any moment surged forth endlessly, far stronger than during his peak thirty years ago.
Ye Chen estimated that his current self had probably basically touched, or even truly reached, the level of a Ninefold Heaven Sovereign.
His overall combat power was nearly comparable to the power of ten million Sovereign Rules of the Ninefold Heaven.
"I must thank you all. Had it not been for your actions, I would not have been able to so easily pierce through the Great Dao Heavenly Diagram's seal and advance further to such a state."
"To express my gratitude, I have decided to let you witness my peak combat power."
Ye Chen's voice resounded throughout the Star Ruins, even echoing across the sky of the Primordial Heaven Realm, like the voice of a Great Emperor, reverberating throughout the six directions and eight wildernesses.
