The Formless Sovereign, Xuan Shen Great Emperor, and Tai Chu Monarch were also startled. Although they knew Ye Chen possessed means to contend with a Supreme Great Emperor, they never expected such means to be this formidable.
Even if it were them, they would be somewhat inferior.
The alien race camp, however, was filled with unspeakable terror.
"Impossible! No matter how astonishing the Battle Saint King is, he is only an Ancient Monarch. How could he be stronger than a Great Emperor?"
"This isn't just being stronger than a Great Emperor, but stronger than one of the two Great Emperors at the Great Perfection Peak realm! How could the Battle Saint King be so powerful?"
"Could it be that in the mere three hundred years in the Lower Realm, he obtained a peerless opportunity? Yes, I've heard the Lower Realm contains the legacy fortune of the Heavenly Emperor. The Battle Saint King must have obtained such means to rise to such heights in such a short time."
Compared to others, the Alien Emperors could sense more clearly the vast Supreme-level aura within Ye Chen's body. Not just one, but a full two strands, as if two ancient Great Emperors had taken residence within him. That level of power was naturally more than twice as strong as an ordinary ancient Great Emperor.
As for the fifth Alien Emperor being sent flying and bleeding earlier, it was partly because Ye Chen's power was significantly greater, but also largely because he was caught off guard. Otherwise, with a Supreme Great Emperor's combat experience and awareness, even if Ye Chen possessed two Supreme-level powers, it would be difficult to achieve that.
"What a Battle Saint King, hiding so deeply. You truly have startled us," the fifth Alien Emperor slowly spoke, his voice echoing throughout the Myriad Domains of All Heavens, permeated with boundless killing intent.
"However, the power you wield is not your own, merely external force. Even if it is stronger than the Great Perfection Emperor realm, so what? You can never truly command it as you would your own limbs. How much of that power can you actually unleash?"
"When it comes down to it, you are merely a tiny ant possessing the power of a giant dragon. Your realm is fundamentally insufficient to fully master this power that surpasses the Supreme."
"Even if my power is not as vast as yours, do not forget—I am a Supreme One, invincible in this era!"
It must be said, the Alien Emperor's words were not wrong at all. Ye Chen could indeed wield such peerless power, stronger than the Great Perfection Emperor realm, but he could not perfectly control it.
Ultimately, this power was too great, and Ye Chen's realm did not match it, making perfect mastery difficult.
"Correct. What you say is absolutely correct," Ye Chen admitted, but a smile lifted on his face. "However, there is one point you have forgotten. Even if I cannot command this power as I would my own limbs, so what? You must understand, in my Pangu Universe, there is an old saying: 'Wild punches can kill a master.' With sufficient power, one can suppress everything, including an ancient Sovereign-Emperor like you!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As his words fell, Ye Chen transformed into a beam of light, piercing through the distant sky in less than the blink of an eye as if reversing the River of Time, arriving before the fifth Alien Emperor and launching a frenzied assault. His unparalleled power, surpassing that of an ordinary Supreme Great Emperor, continuously struck out.
There were no fancy techniques. He simply attacked wildly, punch after punch. Each fist blast could shatter the Thirty-Three Heavens and pulverize the Eighteen Layers of Hell, suppressing everything with absolute power.
So what if it was an ancient Great Emperor? He would suppress them all with overwhelming force!
Under this terrifying offensive, the hidden rules of Chaos operation were directly stirred. A vast, boundless heavenly curtain slowly descended, enveloping half of Ye Chen and the fifth Alien Emperor's figures.
Supreme Domain!
When power displayed reaches the Supreme level, the Supreme Domain autonomously descends, drawing relevant-level combatants into it to avoid causing excessive destruction.
"Hmph!"
The fifth Alien Emperor snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with cold lightning that repelled myriad Daos. He forcibly stabilized his Emperor Body, only entering halfway, not completely.
At the same time, a trident appeared in his hand, exuding absolute dark demonic aura, with Supreme Emperor Principles swirling around it. Vaguely, it seemed he could step onto the River of Time at any moment. He declared, "I am the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor, who suppressed an entire epoch, never fearing anything. How could I be intimidated by a mere junior like you today? Today, I will let you witness what true ancient Sovereign-Emperor means are."
"Heaven-Rending!"
A great shout that shook past and present! The Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor struck, brandishing his trident. Boundless Supreme Emperor Principles swept through the All Heavens, tracing profound and mysterious Emperor Dao trajectories that transcended the myriad Daos. A glorious radiance illuminated the Myriad Domains as he launched a fierce assault on Ye Chen.
This was a true Sovereign-Emperor technique, one of the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor's peerless divine abilities with which he suppressed all ages.
With a swing of the trident, the Nine Heavens split and the Ten Directions of earth shattered.
If the two had not been half inside the Supreme Domain during their clash, who knows how many great domains would have completely collapsed if this strike had truly landed.
Boom—
A peak Great Emperor-level collision illuminated the Supreme Domain, exceedingly fierce.
During this, Ye Chen, benefiting from the unparalleled Heavenly Dao Sun Power and the endless Faith Power's augmentation, was not significantly injured. But what shocked him was that the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor had only been forced back a dozen steps, similarly unharmed.
This made Ye Chen's expression change. The power he wielded was more than double the other's, yet he could not gain much advantage.
Soon, he understood—this was indeed the terrifying aspect of a Supreme One.
Every being capable of becoming a Supreme One was a true heaven's favored child, having experienced countless battles in their lifetime. Their combat experience, combat awareness, combat instinct, and all other aspects had reached the peak. Especially their mastery over power, which far surpassed Ye Chen's by who knows how much.
Even if Ye Chen's power was sufficiently strong, when he unleashed it, the power exceeding his mastery would constantly dissipate at all times. Being able to truly exert sixty to seventy percent of it was already remarkable.
Whereas an ancient Great Emperor's power mastery was flawless, and combined with divine abilities, it could be amplified considerably.
Therefore, in a true duel, they were often evenly matched.
Moreover, over time, it was highly likely that one would wane while the other waxed. Ye Chen might not truly be able to slay an Emperor.
"'Supreme One, Invincible' is not just empty talk. At that level, every aspect reaches the ultimate extreme. In terms of combat awareness and combat instinct, they are at the Supreme level. I have only barely reached it by borrowing the Heavenly Dao Sun Power and endless Faith Power. Truly speaking, I am still somewhat inferior, which allowed the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor to compensate for this disadvantage," Ye Chen mused inwardly, continuing his assault. Power rivaling two Supreme-level forces was unleashed through his fists and feet, and he even displayed various peerless divine abilities in his attacks, striking across the All Heavens, furiously trying to kill the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Emperor.
Under such mighty power, enough to blast apart everything, even a Monarch before him would be crushed to dust, his form and spirit easily torn and shattered.
