"Battle Saint King, I truly never expected you to dare face me alone. I must say, your courage is commendable."
The Alien Emperor Lord spoke, his words carrying a trace of appreciation. Even as an enemy, he couldn't help but acknowledge the Battle Saint King's brilliance—not only was his potential astonishing, but his courage surpassed all. To dare face an Emperor Lord after only a thousand years of cultivation...
Such bravery was something even other Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, or Immortal Dao descendants of the same age could never achieve.
Of course, they were also far inferior to the Battle Saint King's peerless, heaven-defying talent.
But more than that, there was an unparalleled killing intent.
Without another word, the Alien Emperor Lord stepped forward, unleashing the imposing might of an Emperor Lord. Great divine abilities manifested, shattering heaven and earth as they pressed down.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
When an Emperor Lord made a move, it was no trivial matter. Tens of millions of Monarch Rules surged forth—at least over eighty million, an excessive number, dense and countless. Among them, some Monarch Rules were particularly different, for they contained wisps of Supreme Emperor Aura.
That's right, those were no longer mere Monarch Rules, but a higher level of existence—Supreme Emperor Laws.
Upon reaching the Emperor Lord realm, touching upon the character 'Emperor,' one naturally entered the domain of the Emperor Dao. They could comprehend the Supreme Emperor Dao and cultivate even more powerful Supreme Emperor Laws.
However, the number of Supreme Emperor Laws was not great. Compared to Monarch Rules, they were but a drop in the ocean. Yet they could enhance an Emperor Lord's strength and were precisely the foundation that allowed Emperor Lords to suppress Ancient Sovereigns.
The multitude of Monarch Rules, fused with Supreme Emperor Laws, directly transformed into a supreme divine seal, shimmering with threads of Supreme Emperor Aura before crashing down like an Emperor Mountain descending from the heavens, its power infinite and boundless.
"Heh, let me see just how formidable a so-called Emperor Lord can be."
Ye Chen chuckled coldly. In his current state, he possessed combat power far surpassing his past self and felt no fear. He stepped forward to clash head-on, fiercely attacking the Emperor Lord.
Rumble—
The heavens shattered greatly. The alien realm trembled incessantly but did not completely collapse, for the Heavenly Dao of the Pangu Cosmos stabilized it, preventing the upper realm of the Myriad Domains from being destroyed as well.
Blood splattered—it was Ye Chen's. He was wounded in the collision, stained with blood, ultimately unable to match his foe.
The Emperor Lord's strength was even more formidable than he had imagined.
Logically, this shouldn't be the case, but in reality, it was true.
An Emperor Lord touched the domain of the Emperor Dao, could draw upon the power of the Emperor Dao to a certain extent, and had begun to master Supreme Emperor Laws. Their strength was unimaginable. Even though Ye Chen had elevated himself to his limits in every aspect, he was still somewhat inferior.
Truly speaking, there was still a gap between the two.
"Do you need my help?" Monarch Hun Yue spoke from the side, ready to assist. If Ye Chen asked, he would immediately strike to suppress the enemy.
"No need. This is perfect. I can better sense the imposing might of an Emperor Lord in a life-and-death battle, preparing for my future ascension to Eternal Emperor Lord."
Ye Chen's gaze was firm as he attacked once more, utterly fearless.
He displayed various divine abilities but never used his true trump cards.
Even while battling the Alien Emperor Lord, part of his mind remained focused on the alien realm, remotely sensing the final Alien Great Emperor.
His strongest combat power still lay dormant within him, all for the sake of catching the alien race off guard and exterminating them to the greatest extent possible!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
During the confrontation, heaven collapsed and earth sank, everything heading toward great destruction. The Alien Emperor Lord continuously attacked, causing Ye Chen's body to be stained with blood again and again, appearing somewhat disheveled.
The Emperor Lord's formidable strength was displayed without reservation.
Undoubtedly, Ye Chen was being suppressed.
However, Ye Chen's own strength also secretly shocked the Alien Emperor Lord.
For although it seemed he held the upper hand, that advantage was minimal—so slight it couldn't inflict any fundamental injuries on Ye Chen. All the wounds were merely superficial, easily healed by a powerhouse of this level.
"Truly worthy of being someone comparable to the Primordial Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor in their youth. This Battle Saint King is indeed extraordinary. No wonder the supreme giants of the Ancestral Temple ordered his death at all costs."
The Alien Emperor Lord sighed lightly, deeply feeling the Battle Saint King's heaven-defying monstrous talent. But admiration aside, his killing intent toward the latter not only didn't diminish in the slightest but increased countlessfold.
After all, the supreme giants had offered an extremely rich reward for the Battle Saint King's bounty—enough to drive all Emperor Lords mad, for it could grant an Emperor Lord a high probability of ascending to the Supreme One realm. Few Emperor Lords in the world would refuse such an offer.
"Battle Saint King, perish!"
The Alien Emperor Lord's Emperor Lord imposing might rose once more. A majestic beam of light shot into the sky from the crown of his head as even more Monarch Rules surged forth. At this point, they numbered over a hundred million.
A full hundred million Monarch Rules,mixed with some Supreme Emperor Laws, transformed into a long river of rules that encircled the Emperor Lord. Behind him, the vast phantom of an Emperor Lord Great World appeared, its power capable of splitting seas—who in the world could contend with it?
Simultaneously, his own Emperor Lord War Weapon appeared before him—a War Chariot,distinctive, entirely silver-bright, engraved with countless rule Dao patterns, fully revived.
The Alien Emperor Lord merged completely into the Emperor War Chariot, becoming even more terrifyingly astonishing as he swept across the cosmos, charging furiously forward. Countless stars beyond the realm were swept along, accompanying the attack to annihilate Ye Chen.
"An Emperor War Chariot? An unusual Emperor Lord War Weapon, capable of both offense and defense. Truly extraordinary."
Ye Chen frowned. Faced with such an Emperor War Chariot, even he felt a sense of helplessness. The chariot fully covered the Alien Emperor Lord, providing defense while also carrying various weapons for attack. It was an absolute war weapon integrating offense and defense, far from simple.
"Cauldron, come!"
With a great shout, the Chaos Great Cauldron crossed the sky. Billions of layers of ancient Chaos Qi, each seemingly capable of evolving into a Great World, formed ten thousand layers of world heaven and earth encircling him.
At the same time, the Ten Seals Gates appeared, suppressing all directions.
Ye Chen stepped onto the cauldron and entered the formation, actively facing the Emperor War Chariot. The advantages of his Chaos Saint Body were displayed without reservation as he fiercely battled the Emperor War Chariot.
In the blink of an eye, nearly half an hour passed, yet victory remained undecided.
Time and again, Ye Chen's figure was forced back, his Chaos blood flying, but he never fell.
This infuriated the Alien Emperor Lord. He was already going all out, yet he couldn't kill his opponent—a sheer disgrace.
Not far away, Monarch Hun Yue watched all this, nodding secretly. He had to admit the Battle Saint King's heaven-defying nature. To battle an Emperor Lord as a Sovereign, reach this stage, and rapidly grow, reducing the Alien Emperor Lord's advantage less and less...
But it was clear that in thislimit state, Ye Chen was also beginning to struggle. After all, he couldn't remain in this domain forever; there was a corresponding time limit.
Judging by the situation, it wouldn't be long before he inevitably fell back to his true realm.
Evidently, the Alien Emperor Lord also noticed this, suppressing his rage to continue the battle.
He would strike the moment Ye Chen's realm dropped, killing him then.
Boom—
This time, Ye Chen's aura instantly plummeted. Simultaneously, the Chaos Great Cauldron and Seals Gates dimmed, having reached their time limit as his realm fell.
"Strike!"
The Alien Emperor Lord attacked furiously, displaying his strongest blow. The Emperor War Chariot crossed the sky, its front like a spear tip, bolstered by the long river of rules. It charged forth, tearing through ten thousand layers of heaven and earth—even an Emperor Lord would be split in two.
