The Kunpeng Sovereign's consciousness was lost, but its instincts remained. Moreover, this was an Ancient Sovereign Supreme One. Within the Star Sky, it extended a terrifying Peng claw, fiercely grabbing at Ye Chen below, colliding with his Chaos Saint Fist.
BOOM—
Ye Chen stepped forward, brandishing his Chaos Saint Fist. Billions upon billions of layers of ancient Chaos Qi evolved into the Ten Thousand Daos, evolved into myriad worlds, evolved into myriad techniques, evolved into myriad spirits...
It seemed simple, but in reality, it contained Ye Chen's full-power strike at the peak of the Eternal Monarch realm, furiously colliding with Weapon No. 0.
KABOOM—
The two invincible existences, transcendent above Monarchs, waged war. Even though the headquarters great world possessed infinite Emperor Dao formation patterns inscribed to reinforce it, making it unbreakable even by Monarchs, it was still torn asunder by the collision of the two.
The terrifying destructive force transformed into layer upon layer of expanding shockwaves, annihilating time and space, shattering the Ten Thousand Daos, causing heavy casualties among the many powerhouses of the Soul-Restraining Hall within the headquarters great world. One Soul-Restraining Hall after another fell from the sky, smashed down and disintegrated!
Under this peak-level confrontation, neither Ye Chen nor the Kunpeng Sovereign retreated in the slightest.
This scene was utterly shocking!
The Battle Saint King's strength was not inferior to an Ancient Sovereign Supreme One!?
"So strong!"
Ye Chen stared at the Kunpeng Sovereign and advanced once more, manifesting a form billions of miles tall, towering into the clouds. He swung his Chaos Saint Fist, summoned the Chaos Great Cauldron, his Chaos Great Dao surged, his flesh and blood radiated light, unleashing the invincible radiance of the peak Eternal Monarch realm.
The Kunpeng Sovereign's eyes were completely blood-red, driven only by frenzied instinct, continuously clashing violently with Ye Chen.
Both belonged to the pinnacle level of the Great Dao, far beyond what this headquarters great world could contain. They soon tore through it, battling out into the Star Sky, ascending to the highest point of the cosmic Star Sky—the apex of this ancient Chaos Universe.
The peak confrontation shook the Great Universe's Star Sky, forcing back the Ten Thousand Daos.
The myriad races of the Star Sky, the countless beings of the universe, lifted their heads to gaze at that unreachably high cosmic apex. They could not see the peak confrontation there, but they could feel the unparalleled fluctuations of battle, unceasingly shaking the myriad Daos of the heavens.
The cosmic Star Sky trembled.
The myriad stars of the heavens dimmed.
Between heaven and earth, within the Great Universe, it seemed only the two engaged in the peak confrontation remained.
The most terrifying Supreme One-level fluctuations shielded everything.
Only at this moment did the world, while gasping in shock, realize that the Battle Saint King's combat power had truly reached the Supreme One domain. Otherwise, how could he be in a peak confrontation with the Kunpeng Sovereign?
Deep within the universe, a blood-soaked figure struggled to stand up. He was the 1st Emperor Envoy. At this moment, he no longer possessed his former peerless elegance, only the disheveled state of being covered in blood. He looked up at the confrontation at the apex.
After a long time, he finally relaxed his fist powerlessly, offering a bitter smile. "So he has already become this powerful, comparable to the Kunpeng Sovereign. No wonder I suffered such a miserable defeat, utterly powerless!"
The 1st Emperor Envoy had been very unwilling. As a fellow Monarch, he believed himself not inferior to anyone. Yet now, he was left with only endless desolation.
He too was considered a peerless genius of his era, once dominating an entire epoch. With no Supreme Ones emerging, he could even dominate the Great Universe, becoming an uncrowned king.
In the past, when following the Heaven Soul Great Emperor, he roamed the Great Universe invincibly. With no Great Emperors appearing, the nine Emperor Envoys wielded authority over the universe's territories on his behalf—who could contend?
The myriad races of the Star Sky all had to bow their heads in submission.
Back then, he had even engaged in a peak confrontation with the Kunpeng Sovereign when the latter was within the Monarch realm.
That Monarch-level battle once shook the entire Great Universe, its brilliance drawing all eyes.
That battle ended in a draw.
The 1st Emperor Envoy was also hailed as the next Emperor with the qualification to prove his Dao and achieve Emperorhood.
Unfortunately, the Kunpeng Sovereign later overtook him, reversing everything, achieving Supreme One success ahead of him, earning the title of Ancient Sovereign.
Yet this still did not tarnish his invincible reputation.
However, compared to the Battle Saint King, a junior who had cultivated for barely over two thousand years, the 1st Emperor Envoy's achievements were simply not worth mentioning.
The younger generation was indeed formidable—this was absolutely true.
Cang Xiong looked up. He could naturally perceive the peak confrontation at the cosmic apex and sighed softly. "The younger generation is formidable."
Then, he turned his head, looking towards the deepest part of the headquarters great world, curling a smile. "Heaven Soul, aren't you planning to come out yet at this point? Don't tell me you're planning to wait until they've wounded each other to make a move against the Battle Saint King? Don't blame this old man for taking action personally."
Heaven Soul?
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor!?
The world was horrified!
KABOOM—
At this moment, Cang Xiong made his move. He, who seemed decayed and aged, instantly erupted with a world-shaking aura no weaker than Ye Chen or the Kunpeng Sovereign, tearing through the dense, layered spaces of the headquarters great world to reveal a sinister dark Imperial Hall.
An aged great hand slapped over, Supreme One-level aura swirling around it, vibrating with billions upon billions of Monarch rules—something even a Monarch could not withstand.
BOOM—
Within the dark Imperial Hall, another vast Supreme One-level Emperor Might erupted, colliding with Cang Xiong's great hand, shaking billions upon billions of layers of time and space.
The headquarters great world teetered on the brink of collapse. Billions upon billions of patterns emerged, Supreme Emperor Principles flickered, protecting it, then generated layer upon layer of black holes to expel the force. Otherwise, the entire headquarters great world would have been utterly annihilated by the two.
The dark Imperial Hall emanated an earth-shattering, terrifying aura.
Cang Xiong looked calmly at the dark Imperial Hall and smiled. "Heaven Soul, you really are still alive!"
The dark Imperial Hall soared up from the deepest part. One could not clearly see anything inside the hall, but its Emperor Might suppressed the heavens, looking down from a high position like an Ancient Emperor overlooking myriad worlds. A cold voice spoke, "Cang Xiong, you and I have never interfered with each other. Back then, this Emperor already spared your life. Yet now, you dare act so boldly, attacking me. Do you truly wish to die?"
Cang Xiong smiled again. "Spared this old man's life? This old man would quite like to know how you, in your dying state back then, spared this old man. Weren't you hunted down by this old man to the ends of heaven and earth, staining the universe with blood?"
This was a secret involving an Ancient Great Emperor. Among the myriad races of the Star Sky, few truly knew of it.
In the past, the Heaven Soul Great Emperor took advantage of the Kunpeng Sovereign's weakened state after successfully proving his Dao and achieving Sovereignhood during his tribulation, suddenly making a move. Although he ultimately succeeded in suppressing the Kunpeng Sovereign, turning him into Weapon No. 0, during that Supreme One-level great battle, the Kunpeng Sovereign had ultimately succeeded in proving his Dao and achieving Sovereignhood. Even if he hadn't reached great perfection, he was still a Sovereign.
Both being Supreme Ones, Sovereign and Emperor were fundamentally the same.
The Heaven Soul Great Emperor suffered the Kunpeng Sovereign's desperate counterattack, sustaining unprecedented, extreme heavy injuries, critically wounded and near death, his Emperor Dao source teetering on the brink of exhaustion.
After that battle, having suppressed the Kunpeng Sovereign, Cang Xiong chose that moment to suddenly strike. The Heaven Soul Great Emperor, critically wounded and near death, was no match for Cang Xiong, who was at the peak of his life.
That was an Eternal Monarch, capable of challenging a peak Ancient Great Emperor, let alone the Heaven Soul Great Emperor whose sun had set, weakened beyond even the post-tribulation Kunpeng Sovereign. Faced with Cang Xiong's sudden attack, though furious, he was helpless.
