Not long after, Ye Junlin also appeared.
A century had passed, yet he remained as youthful as ever, looking to be in his early twenties. He bore an eighty to ninety percent resemblance to Ye Chen—handsome and transcendent, with chaotic light descending upon him. He was like a second Ye Chen, the strongest Chaos Divine King of the current era.
However, he had come alone.
Witnessing this scene, the various major powers and experts who had come to spectate all narrowed their eyes.
For such an important duel, Ye Junlin had actually come alone?
Qin Shiqi narrowed his eyes even further. Strands of sword radiance shimmered around him, slicing through the void. He said coldly, "What a fine Chaos Divine King, Ye Junlin. Coming alone... it seems you truly do not place me, Qin Shiqi, in your eyes."
Ye Junlin gazed at Qin Shiqi. His pair of Chaos Heaven Eyes could see through everything. After a moment, he sighed lightly. "I didn't expect that by utilizing the connection of the Eight Realms and the completion of the Heavenly Dao, you would actually reach such a level. You do indeed have the qualification to be ranked on the Emperor Ranking and contend for the title of the number one young talent across the Myriad Realms."
Under the gaze of the Chaos Heaven Eyes, Qin Shiqi had nowhere to hide. He was actually a Supreme Genius, and one who had been perfected to the Divine Transformation Realm, just a hair's breadth away from becoming a truly Great Perfection Supreme Genius. Moreover, his cultivation was that of a Seven-Calamity Divine King.
In truth, he was no weaker than ordinary Eight or Nine-Calamity Divine Kings.
Feeling that he could not hide anything, Qin Shiqi snorted coldly. Sword radiance swirled around him, blocking all attempts at insight. He shouted coldly, "Ye Junlin, today I, Qin Shiqi, shall see just what capabilities you, the son of the Heavenly Kingdom's Dominator, possess."
*Clang!*
He did not attack lightly, but when he did, it shook heaven and earth!
Qin Shiqi displayed the peerless strength of an Emperor Ranking Heaven's Pride. In an instant, billions upon billions of sword energies manifested. Every sword present among the various experts on the field began to hum and vibrate, almost leaping out to answer the call of Qin Shiqi, this Sword Dao Divine King.
A single sword's light chilled the Nine Provinces!
Qin Shiqi stepped forward and unleashed a peerless sword slash, containing the power of multiple Divine King spirits, with the Sword Dao Divine King spirit as the core. It was capable of annihilating everything.
Among the spectators were many Divine King Ancient Ancestors from various ancient kingdoms. Seeing this, their expressions all turned solemn.
The power of this sword far, far exceeded that of an ordinary Divine King. Even a true Eight-Calamity Divine King would have to regard it with extreme caution.
Truly worthy of being a super Heaven's Pride on the Emperor Ranking. Qin Shiqi was indeed frighteningly strong.
He had few rivals among Divine Kings!
Fortunately, this place was the War God Plains, the site of the peak duel between two Quasi-Monarchs in the past. It bore the residual marks of those Quasi-Monarchs and even lingering traces of Monarch rules, reinforcing the area and making it incredibly stable.
Otherwise, this single sword slash would have been enough to cleave through millions of miles and strike the stars of the Nine Heavens.
Even so, it still shattered the surrounding space.
On this side, Ye Junlin stood fearless. Over the past century, he had earned the name Chaos Divine King, much like a second Ye Chen. Ye Chen, in particular, had thoroughly imparted to him his insights into the Chaos Dao. He was clearly also a Chaos cultivator.
Moreover, relying on his Chaos True Dragon physique, his cultivation on the path of Chaos was far smoother than Ye Chen's had been back in the day.
At this moment, Ye Junlin directly manifested the Myriad Daos, transforming into a Chaos Cauldron that spanned the vast heavens. Various chaotic flames coiled around it, as if capable of incinerating the firmament.
*Clang!*
The great Chaos Cauldron hovered in the sky, blocking Qin Shiqi's peerless sword slash.
Ye Junlin remained unscathed.
The onlookers were awestruck. Ye Junlin was truly like a second Heavenly Kingdom Dominator, able to withstand such a peerless sword strike.
On the War God Plains, Qin Shiqi had his hair tied with a purple crown, wearing a Divine King coronet. He possessed a heroic bearing that spanned the cosmos, an imposing divine aura, sharp features, and was a very handsome Heaven's Pride talent. His pupils were shaped like swords.
Although Qin Shiqi was somewhat surprised that Ye Junlin could block this sword, his expression did not change. As the son of the Dominator who suppressed the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds, if he didn't possess at least this level of strength, Qin Shiqi wouldn't even deign to look at him, nor would he have the qualification to be listed on the Emperor Ranking.
"Not bad, to be able to block my first sword," Qin Shiqi said, his tone still indifferent. But at this moment, strands of his aura accompanied the surging sword light.
Throughout the heavens and earth, on the entire War God Plains, anyone holding a sword could not help but feel the divine sword in their hand trembling, as if bowing in homage to Qin Shiqi, this Sword Dao Divine King.
Many divine swords even flew out, humming and vibrating as they soared towards him.
This caused countless people to change expressions.
"However, the reason I am named Qin Shiqi is because my sword techniques are not limited to just this one. That was merely the first sword. There are sixteen more that follow!"
"And you, Ye Junlin, have the qualification to make me unleash the subsequent sword techniques!"
*Clang!*
Qin Shiqi swung his sword. In an instant, a second sword radiance slashed out, even more terrifying than the first.
The spectators were all shocked!
If the first sword alone had such fearsome power, how terrifying would the second, third, fourth... and the other subsequent sword techniques be?
Now, Qin Shiqi was about to display his other peerless sword techniques.
Ye Junlin's entire body was bathed in descending chaotic light, as if protected by the Myriad Daos. At this moment, the great Chaos Cauldron even dissolved, merging with the chaotic light.
A great halberd, shaped like the Primordial Desolation, appeared in his grasp. His expression remained impassive as he met the attack head-on.
*Boom!*
The second collision. He still blocked it.
But then—
The third sword!
The fourth sword!
The fifth sword!
The sixth sword!
...
One peerless sword technique after another was unleashed by Qin Shiqi's swings. Each sword could cleave heaven and earth, flatten millions of mountains—terrifyingly excessive.
Moreover, each subsequent sword surpassed the one before it.
By the fifteenth sword, the power of the technique was so great that even a peerless Divine King felt the emergence of a life-and-death crisis.
Even more frightening was that, vaguely, all the sword techniques seemed capable of merging together, forming a single, complete, and even more terrifying sword.
Ye Junlin's entire body shimmered with chaotic light, even beams of chaotic light spraying from his eyes. He gripped the great halberd shaped like the Primordial Desolation, entwined with layers of chaotic light, continuously hacking and slashing, colliding along special chaotic trajectories.
*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!*
He remained calm in the face of danger, proceeding to dismantle and scatter each sword technique one by one, never allowing Qin Shiqi's sword strikes to injure him.
Those outside could not clearly see the situation, only knowing that the collision between the two was extremely intense. Sword radiance shot into the sky, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The great halberd cleaved through the firmament, shattering the vast heavens.
The clash between two peerless Divine King-level experts could collapse heaven and earth with the slightest move, causing the War God Plains to tremble violently.
"The Sixteenth!"
Qin Shiqi's sword technique names were simple and brutal. The slash of the sixteenth sword could make even a peerless Divine King face a life-and-death crisis. This sword could slay an Eight-Calamity Divine King.
Ye Junlin staggered back several steps, retreating for the first time. The great halberd formed from his Chaos Divine Power was directly cleaved apart. That sword split the void, slashing towards his face, aiming directly at the Muddy Pellet Palace between his brows.
"Ye Junlin, you should just admit defeat. Losing to me, Qin Shiqi, is no disgrace for you."
Qin Shiqi pointed his sword at Ye Junlin's Divine King soul, ready to slash down in an instant. The slightest misstep could take his life in the blink of an eye.
"With just you? Not enough," Ye Junlin snorted coldly.
